Chapter 494 Taiyuan Ruins

Gazing at the 'meteor' hurtling toward him continuously, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

Although the Chaos Void naturally contained countless Opportunity, for someone like Lin Yuan, who hadn't explored for long, having an Opportunity smash right toward him…

was still extremely rare.

Ever since the Universe where Human Civilization resided was born, there had been quite a few times when rare treasures and Legacy fell in through permanent space cracks.

That was because the Universe itself, within the Chaos Void, was equivalent to a massive celestial body, and it invisibly affected the space and time of a large surrounding area.

Anything passing nearby would be pulled by the Universe itself, eventually falling into the Universe along the permanent space cracks.

The Universe was too huge, and coupled with a long enough time, "netting" some rare treasures drifting nearby was nothing more than normal.

But Lin Yuan?

Compared to the Main Universe, he was still too insignificant, and the probability of randomly encountering treasure Opportunity was very low.

"According to the flight trajectory of this 'meteor', it will pass near the Main Universe."

"At that time, perhaps it will be pulled by the Main Universe, plunging into some permanent space crack hundreds of millions of years later, becoming an Opportunity descending from outside the Universe?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself. To a certain extent, he was now intercepting the Opportunity of those Twelve-Order Ultimate within the Main Universe.

"Let's first try to intercept it in advance."

Lin Yuan carefully observed that 'meteor'. "There is a Formation aura flowing; this 'meteor' should be the Immortal Cave of some Expert."

Although in the Chaos Void, there would be those naturally nurtured grand Formations.

But the might of such killing Formations was exceedingly great. The Formation aura flowing within the 'meteor' was far inferior to those grand Formations nurtured by Chaos.

Therefore, Lin Yuan deduced that this meteor was an Expert's Immortal Cave. After all, if a grand Formation was artificially arranged, it was generally used as an Immortal Cave.

"The owner of the Immortal Cave should no longer be around."

Lin Yuan reached more conclusions. If the Immortal Cave owner were still alive, he wouldn't be able to see this 'meteor' at all. Any Immortal Cave definitely focused on secrecy and was basically hidden in the depths of layers of space and time.

Even for those rare mobile Immortal Caves, they would restrain their auras as much as possible. While the Chaos Void certainly had countless Opportunity, it also contained many risks.

During the exploration, Lin Yuan's Incarnation was also very cautious.

The continuously hurtling 'meteor' had its aura externally displayed, which was the manifestation of being uncontrolled by anyone.

"Space-Time Whirlpool."

Lin Yuan's thought moved slightly, and he began to use the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm comprehension to try to block it on the inevitable trajectory of the 'meteor'.

Right now, Lin Yuan was only an Incarnation, and what he could do was very limited. Block the 'meteor' directly? At the other party's speed, Lin Yuan's Incarnation would probably be smashed into ashes instantly.

Therefore, he could only try indirect blocking, constantly influencing it along the 'meteor's flight trajectory.

This method could not stop the 'meteor' in a short time, but it could effectively "slow down" it, which was very safe.

"The speed has decreased."

Lin Yuan's heart settled. What he worried about most was that the current Space-Time Whirlpool's interception would have little effect on that 'meteor'.

And now it seemed the effect was quite obvious.

It was also because the space-time power controlled by Lin Yuan's Space-Time Sevenfold Realm was sufficient.

If it were those Twelve-Order Ultimate within the Main Universe, relying solely on the sixth-Realm space-time comprehension…

the impact on the 'meteor' would probably be much smaller.

"According to the current efficiency, at most half a day will be enough to make the 'meteor' completely stop."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, quickly controlling the space-time power to intercept that 'meteor'.

Half a day later.

The speed of the hurtling 'meteor' continuously decreased, and finally, it slowly stopped in front of Lin Yuan.

Standing close by, Lin Yuan saw the full picture of the 'meteor'. This was a huge island; looking from the outside, its diameter exceeded ten million miles.

Standing in the center of the island was a palace, while the surrounding area was filled with rolling mountains and continuous lakes.

"Eighteen Twelve-Star Strange Trees?" Lin Yuan saw at a glance that near the central palace, trees whose aura reached the Twelve-Star level were swaying.

The fruits borne on the tree branches emitted a massive energy aura.

"I've struck it rich." Lin Yuan's face blossomed with a smile.

Compared to Twelfth Order weapon Materials and the like, these Twelve-Star Strange Trees that could bear spiritual fruits were equivalent to a cash cow, capable of bearing high-value spiritual fruits every once in a while.

In addition, apart from these eighteen strange trees, the island itself was also rare Materials. Although it had just entered the Twelve-Star level, the quantity was huge—a full ten million miles in radius.

"The control core of this Immortal Cave should be inside that palace."

Lin Yuan ignored the eighteen strange trees around the palace. Near these strange trees, there were lingering space-time powers, which should have been arranged by the Immortal Cave owner.

The simplest way to cross these space-time barriers was to refine the control core of the island, so that the entire island would be under Lin Yuan's control.

"Let's go."

Lin Yuan split into two. He was originally an Incarnation, condensed from Chaos Qi. As long as he split off a trace of mental will, he could naturally form a new Incarnation.

Without knowing whether there was danger inside the palace, Lin Yuan naturally made an extra preparation.

Whoosh!

The Incarnation split off by Lin Yuan descended onto the island and advanced toward the central palace.

"This palace surprisingly doesn't have any obstructions." Lin Yuan glanced at the palace, observed cautiously for a moment, and then walked in.

The palace was very large. Lin Yuan quickly strolled through it and finally came to a certain inner hall.

Suspended here was a dodecagonal crystal, vaguely the convergence point of the entire giant island's aura.

"This should be the control core of the Immortal Cave." Lin Yuan thought to himself, immediately beginning to try touching and refining the crystal.

Right at this moment.

Rumble!

The entire palace suddenly roared, and the previously calm dodecagonal crystal began to glow. An invisible aura gathered, forming a round figure.

This figure had short limbs and looked like a meatball with round eyes. After appearing, the figure stretched lazily and looked at Lin Yuan.

"Is this the Immortal Cave owner?"

Lin Yuan was extremely vigilant in his heart, preparing to dissolve this Incarnation at any time.

"Don't worry, my true body died long ago, and what remains here now is just a branding." The round figure spoke. The language he spoke was the universal language of the Chaos Void.

Even if one had never learned it, one could understand it by oneself and communicate.

"Greetings, Senior." Lin Yuan said immediately.

The so-called branding couldn't even be considered mental will; it was merely a piece of information and a trace left behind.

"Ah, if I had known, I wouldn't have gone to those Taiyuan Ruins. Sure enough, my true body didn't come out alive." The round figure sighed and muttered softly to himself.

"Taiyuan Ruins?" Lin Yuan listened not far away, and waves involuntarily stirred in his heart.

Even having never stepped out of the Main Universe, he had heard the name of the Taiyuan Ruins. That was a famous dangerous place in the Chaos Void, and of course, also one of the greatest places of Opportunity.

The outer-Universe aurora previously falling into the Main Universe and that 'white paper' originated from the Taiyuan Ruins.

Many Opportunity and Legacy within the Main Universe had mentioned the name of the Taiyuan Ruins.

"But I still couldn't help it. After all, traces of beings close to Perfect Time Life exist there. I was trapped at the Peak Sovereign Realm for dozens of cosmic eras; if I could obtain some Opportunity inside, I would completely have hope of stepping into the Chaos Realm."

The round figure muttered to himself, his words carrying some annoyance.

"Peak Sovereign Realm?" Lin Yuan was secretly startled upon hearing this.

Twelfth Order was divided into three levels: Proving Dao, Sovereign, and Chaos.

Peak Sovereign Realm could be considered an Expert even in the Chaos Void. During the heyday of the Xuanhuang Lineage and the Demon Jade Tower, there were only a few Experts at the Peak Sovereign Realm.

But just such an Expert actually died, dying in the Taiyuan Ruins?

Lin Yuan didn't believe that an Expert of this level would not leave behind any life-saving means. Even if the true body perished, it was very difficult to die completely. But according to the round figure's meaning, it was obvious that he had died completely.

"Latercomer, which Chaos era is it now?" The round figure looked at Lin Yuan and said.

"Which Chaos era?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Senior, I don't know either."

He had just stepped out of the Main Universe not long ago, so naturally he was not clear about what time period the Chaos Void was in.

"You don't know?" The round figure's brows furrowed slightly. As long as it was life in the Chaos Void, basically everyone knew the Chaos era. Lin Yuan didn't know?

"I am not life born in the Chaos Void, but come from the Universe." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said truthfully.

"From the Universe?" The round figure's expression was puzzled, "Has the Universe where you reside undergone a great destruction?"

"It hasn't undergone a great destruction yet." Lin Yuan said.

"Without a great destruction, how did you leave…" The round figure carefully examined Lin Yuan, his expression becoming more and more surprised. "Your comprehension of space-time has reached the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm?"

"Tsk tsk, no wonder you can send an Incarnation to explore the Chaos Void. Only with such a high degree of space-time comprehension can… No wait, this Incarnation of yours is condensed from Chaos Qi. Have you comprehended the Chaos Rules?"

The round figure was dumbfounded.

As a Peak Sovereign Realm Expert, he naturally knew what was going on with life inside the Universe. Even for the Twelfth Order, the time they lived could not exceed one cosmic era.

Because when a cosmic era ended, Twelfth Order Experts needed to experience the tribulation of great destruction along with the Universe. Ordinary Dao Realm Twelfth Order Experts had to die by at least a large margin to survive it and officially enter the Chaos Void.

And Lin Yuan… before experiencing the tribulation of great destruction, his space-time comprehension had reached the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm? And he had even comprehended the Chaos Rules?

The former was easy to talk about, but the latter? Comprehending the Chaos Rules was one of the most difficult thresholds for the Sovereign Realm to step into the Chaos Realm. He had also ventured into the Taiyuan Ruins just to obtain the Opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Rules.

"My luck is relatively good; I managed to comprehend it by fluke." Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment and spoke.

Lin Yuan was not surprised that the round figure saw that his space-time comprehension had reached the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm. After all, the Space-Time Rule used to block the island outside just now was the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm rule.

As could be seen from the round figure retaking control of the island.

According to the intelligence information left by the Xuanhuang Lineage and the Demon Jade Tower, the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm was extremely rare for life within the Universe, but in the Chaos Void, it was a bit better.

Normal Pilgrimage Realm Peak Experts were expected to achieve Space-Time Sevenfold Realm comprehension. The space-time comprehension of Sovereign Realm Experts all started at the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm.

But the Chaos Rules? That was very rare; many Peak Sovereign Realm existences had not comprehended them.

"Within a cosmic era, just at the Dao Realm, one can comprehend the Chaos Rules."

"Extraordinary, extraordinary." The round figure fell silent for a moment, an expression of amazement appearing on his face.

In fact, if he knew that Lin Yuan was only at Tier 11 at this moment instead of the Twelfth Order Dao Realm, he would probably be countless times more shocked.

If it was said that comprehending the Chaos Rules at the Dao Realm still had some rumors in the vast Chaos Void—those being successors cultivated with infinite painstaking efforts by the Chaotic Realm Peak Great Saints—

then comprehending the Chaos Rules at Tier 11 had completely exceeded the round figure's cognition. Even existences like Your Majesty Xuanhuang and Moyu Tower Master had only heard of it.

"I didn't expect that I, 'Cang Wei Yang', after dying for an unknown number of years, could still see such a Genius."

The round figure said with a sigh in his tone.

Those lives he knew who comprehended the Chaos Rules at the Dao Realm were all intensively cultivated by those Chaotic Great Saints, but Lin Yuan? For life within the Universe, the Legacy they could access was extremely limited.

Under such circumstances, being able to comprehend the Chaos Rules, the round figure didn't even know how to describe it.

Lin Yuan listened quietly below without speaking.

Although he was only a Tier 11 life, his mental will reached 40 million points, coupled with the lingering Chaos Qi, making it very difficult for outsiders to see through his true Realm.

"Within an era, at the Dao Realm level, comprehending the Chaos Rules, you should have a great hope of stepping into the Chaos Realm in the future." The round figure 'Cang Wei Yang' said.

In fact, even the Disciples intensively cultivated by those Chaotic Great Saints would not dare say they could definitely step into the Chaos Realm; comprehending the Chaos Rules was only one of the thresholds to step into the Chaos Realm.

But Lin Yuan was different from those Disciples.

In 'Cang Wei Yang''s view, Lin Yuan's potential was unknown how much higher than the former, which was why he said there was a great hope of stepping into the Chaos Realm.

The four words "great hope" were already the highest evaluation from the round figure.

"The Chaos Realm is too far away for me." Lin Yuan said from the side.

He was only Tier 11 now; he should talk about stepping into the Dao Realm first.

"Too far away?" The round figure 'Cang Wei Yang' glanced at Lin Yuan.

"Alright, let's talk about serious business." The round figure 'Cang Wei Yang' collected himself, "This Immortal Cave is one of the three Immortal Caves where I frequently secluded myself, housing eighteen Sovereign-level strange trees, as well as three Sovereign Realm secret treasures and one Chaos Realm secret treasure."

"In addition, there are many secret methods I cultivated and so on."

"Three Sovereign Realm secret treasures? One Chaos Realm secret treasure?" Lin Yuan was secretly startled.

Twelfth Order weapon secret treasures were also divided into levels. From low to high, they were Dao Realm weapon secret treasures, Sovereign Realm weapon secret treasures, and Chaos Realm weapon secret treasures.

The ultimate weapons and Twelfth Order weapons of the Main Universe were all Dao Realm weapons, and the town-clan weapons of major Peak Groups were merely Pilgrimage Realm Peak weapon secret treasures or special Dao Realm weapon secret treasures.

"Logically speaking, since this Immortal Cave left behind my many Legacy and treasures, I definitely would have to select a Disciple for myself, go through numerous trials, and then have him make numerous vows before handing everything over to him—"

The round figure 'Cang Wei Yang' said this, paused for a moment, and then said in a complex tone: "But I feel I am not qualified to take you in as a Disciple."

"Therefore, everything in the Immortal Cave is given to you."
