Chapter 563: Which Venerable?

Chapter 563: Which Venerable? (Requesting Monthly Votes)

Outside the Nine Profound Secret Realm.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared, gazing remotely at the distant Secret Realm.

Compared to the extremely secretive Secret Realm where the Stone People Clan resided, the Nine Profound Secret Realm could be considered 'flaunting', as majestic Chaos Qi formed one killing Formation after another, shrouding the entire Secret Realm.

The Stone People Clan Secret Realm was hidden for safety.

But the Nine Profound Secret Realm? With a Venerable guarding it, it inherently meant safety in the Chaos Void, and unless affected by powers at the Great Saint level, who could shake it?

And a Great Saint? How many Great Saints were there in the entire Chaos Void?

"I can sense that within this Secret Realm, there is a karmic connection of the Stone People Clan?"

Lin Yuan looked at the Nine Profound Secret Realm and thought to himself.

He had obtained the heritage of 'Cang Wei Yang', the Peak Sovereign Realm expert of the Stone People Clan, so he naturally formed a karmic connection with the Stone People Clan.

Of course, the Karma between Lin Yuan and 'Cang Wei Yang' was the heaviest, after all, it was a direct connection; as for the Stone People Clan? It was the ethnic group where 'Cang Wei Yang' resided, and its karmic connection with Lin Yuan had already become very thin.

But no matter how thin, it still existed. With Lin Yuan's comprehension of the Dao of Karma, he could still detect it and directly lock onto it.

"Only one karmic connection of the Stone People Clan?"

Lin Yuan frowned, "The other Stone People Clan members should be imprisoned in the internal Universe of Nine Mystic Venerable, so I cannot sense them."

The so-called karmic connection could be isolated. For example, the Profound Yellow Secret Realm of the Home Universe could isolate karmic spacetime.

The internal Universe of a Chaos Venerable was nearly equivalent to a real Universe and could similarly isolate Karma to a large extent.

Coupled with the thin Karma between Lin Yuan and the Stone People Clan, being isolated by the internal Universe and unable to be sensed was nothing more than normal.

"Is it over there?"

Lin Yuan looked towards a certain location in the Nine Profound Secret Realm, which was precisely the only area where the karmic connection could be sensed.

"I still have to go in and figure out what is going on."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart.

He did not know what grievances existed between the Stone People Clan and Nine Mystic Venerable, so he had to understand it clearly first.

After all, it involved a Venerable; if it could be resolved peacefully, it should be resolved peacefully. As for directly fighting? Being able to Cultivate to the Chaos Realm, unless it was truly irreconcilable life-and-death, it was impossible to casually resort to violence.

"These grand arrays and killing Formations?"

Lin Yuan looked at the grand arrays and killing Formations outside the Nine Profound Secret Realm and shook his head slightly.

If it were not long ago, he might have really had a headache, as these grand arrays and killing Formations were meticulously set up by Nine Mystic Venerable and were sufficient to block Venerables of the same level.

But now?

In the Origin World, the Myriad Array Crystal that Lin Yuan obtained, although finally traded away with Red Leaf Great Venerable, had already been comprehended seven or eight-tenths beforehand.

The Myriad Array Crystal was condensed by a Peak Great Venerable proficient in the Dao of Formations with all their heart and Soul, and how exquisite was the essence of the Formations contained within!

Once Lin Yuan thoroughly comprehended the Myriad Array Crystal, the grand arrays and killing Formations set up outside the distant Nine Profound Secret Realm became much simpler.

As long as he was a bit careful, avoided a few Formation nodes, and sneaked in quietly, there would not be much of a problem.

Besides.

Even if something went wrong in the end, it would be no loss to Lin Yuan. At this moment, he was merely an Incarnation, and if he wished, he could dissipate at any time without leaving any traces.

Swish, swish.

This Incarnation of Lin Yuan split, forming two Incarnations.

Considering extreme situations, Lin Yuan had already prepared for the Incarnation to dissipate upon sneaking in.

As long as the Incarnation outside was still there, there was no need to waste time rushing here again.

Nine Profound Secret Realm, Sinister Pool.

The Sinister Pool was something unique to the Nine Profound Secret Realm. Every natural Secret Realm nurtured by the Chaos Void would have more or less specialties, and the Sinister Pool was precisely like that.

The pool water of the Sinister Pool was pitch-black and profound, containing endless sins. Any living creature that approached would be impacted by the endless sins within the Sinister Pool.

Approaching was already like this.

Once in contact, even Dao Realm or even Sovereign Realm lives would suffer unbearable torment and pain.

And at this moment.

In the pitch-black and profound pool water, a figure was soaking, with all four limbs and body locked by black chains.

A look of pain was revealed on the figure's expression; however, compared to the torment and pain on the Soul, the pain on the figure's mind was even worse.

"Big Brother, Father and Mother, Clan Elders, I have let you down. If it were not for me, you would not have been captured by Nine Xuan, nor would you have to suffer this kind of torment with me."

Cang Yulong's Soul was twitching, "But I must never bow my head. Once I bow my head, not only will I die, but all of you will die, and not a single clansman will survive."

"Once Nine Xuan learns the origin of that space, we have no possibility of surviving."

"As long as I am alive and hold on, as long as Nine Xuan wants to know the information about that space, I will not die, and you will not die. Once it is said, we will surely die."

Cang Yulong felt incomparably painful in his heart, but his thinking was very clear.

Although Nine Xuan had made a promise to him, saying that as long as he confessed truthfully, he would let him off the hook, how could Cang Yulong believe it?

Just as Cang Yulong was enduring the erosion of endless sins at all times.

A voice suddenly resounded at the level of his mind.

"I am rather curious, why would Nine Mystic Venerable place you alone within the Secret Realm and torture you with such methods?"

Lin Yuan's figure silently appeared not far away, looking at Cang Yulong with considerable curiosity.

At a single glance, he saw through the effects of the Sinister Pool. Precisely because of this, Lin Yuan was very curious what kind of hatred could be worth Nine Mystic Venerable doing this.

"You are?"

Cang Yulong was startled in his heart immediately, and even the pain he was bearing decreased slightly.

"I have ties with your Stone People Clan, so I specifically came to take a look."

Lin Yuan did not mention the matter of Cang Weiyang, but replaced it with ties.

"Ties?"

Cang Yulong looked at Lin Yuan, then bowed his head without hesitation and said, "Senior, please save my Stone People Clan."

This place was the Nine Profound Secret Realm, the lair of Nine Mystic Venerable. Since Lin Yuan could sneak in silently, even if he were not a Venerable, he was not far off.

As for whether Lin Yuan was a person of Nine Mystic Venerable? Cang Yulong had methods to judge and confirmed that he had nothing to do with Nine Mystic Venerable.

"Save your Stone People Clan?"

Lin Yuan glanced at Cang Yulong, "Why should I take the risk of becoming a mortal enemy with Nine Mystic Venerable to save your Stone People Clan?"

After seeing Cang Yulong's end, Lin Yuan basically judged that the other party and Nine Mystic Venerable were basically in an irreconcilable life-and-death situation.

If it were not for such extreme hatred, a dignified Venerable would not need to use such methods to deal with a mere Dao Realm life.

Indeed.

The heritage left by Cang Weiyang successfully helped Lin Yuan transition to the Chaos Void, but Cang Weiyang's request at that time was to accept a Stone People Clan member as a Disciple.

Anyone from the Stone People Clan would do.

Lin Yuan could naturally see that the reason the Stone People Clan had fallen to such a state was probably because of the Stone Person before him.

If he wanted to accept a Stone Person as a Disciple, he could completely negotiate normally with Nine Mystic Venerable. He had taken away trillions of Stone People Clan members, and it was entirely possible to give one of them to Lin Yuan.

Hearing this, Cang Yulong instantly fell into silence.

Indeed.

No matter how great the ties were, compared to being a mortal enemy with a Venerable, what did they count for?

"Senior, I am willing, I am willing to pay a reward, please save my Stone People Clan."

Cang Yulong steadied his mind and immediately said.

"Reward?"

Lin Yuan looked at Cang Yulong, waiting for him to state what reward it was.

Cang Yulong took a deep breath and said solemnly, "chaos tree, I am willing to hand over the chaos tree to Senior, only asking Senior to save my Stone People Clan."

"chaos tree?"

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.

The chaos tree was a Twelfth Order top-grade rare treasure.

Lin Yuan obtained a World Tree in the Demon Jade Space. After stepping into the Twelfth Order, his Internal World transformed into an internal Universe, and the World Tree also began to transform.

Theoretically, the World Tree had the potential to transform into a chaos tree, but it was only theoretical.

Just like any living creature, as long as it was nurtured by the Chaos Void, it had the potential to become a Chaotic Great Saint.

As time passed, the more he nurtured the World Tree, the more Lin Yuan increasingly felt how difficult it was for a World Tree to transform into a chaos tree.

The difficulty just on paper was equivalent to an Eleven-Tier life growing to a Chaotic Great Saint.

The actual difficulty far exceeded that.

"You have a chaos tree?"

Lin Yuan looked at Cang Yulong, understanding in his heart.

He was still wondering why Nine Mystic Venerable, dignified in the Chaos Realm, would treat a Dao Realm life like this.

It turned out to be a chaos tree.

Any Chaos Venerable was extremely eager for the chaos tree. Relying on the effect of the chaos tree to stabilize the internal Universe, it could allow a Chaos Venerable to quickly Cultivate to the Chaos Realm Peak.

"Why didn't you hand over the chaos tree to Nine Mystic Venerable?"

Lin Yuan asked.

"That chaos tree was snatched by me from right under Nine Xuan's nose. Even if I hand the chaos tree over to him, it is very difficult for me to survive."

"Besides the chaos tree, there is also a Legacy space. As long as Senior is willing to save me, I will hand everything over together then."

Cang Yulong said in a low voice.

At this moment, he already understood the principle that possessing a treasure makes one culpable.

If not for the fact that handing the items over to Nine Mystic Venerable left almost no possibility of survival, he would have handed them over long ago.

"chaos tree?"

Lin Yuan looked thoughtful; the chaos tree was also of great use to him, and combined with the Thirteenth Order Legacy Infinite Void, it could also provide a huge blessing effect to his Internal World.

For the second layer of Infinite Void, if the chaos tree suppressed the Internal World, the difficulty of Cultivate would also decrease somewhat.

"For a chaos tree, to become mortal enemies with a Venerable?"

Lin Yuan weighed the pros and cons; without a doubt, if he planned to save the Stone People Clan, he would completely offend Nine Mystic Venerable.

"It can be done."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and made a decision in his heart.

In terms of strength, he was now not much weaker than an ordinary Chaos Venerable; Nine Mystic Venerable was a newly promoted Venerable, about on par with him.

Moreover, he was not an Experts of the Myriad Forms Void Domain. After saving the Stone People Clan, he would directly sever Karma and leave far away, making it very difficult for Nine Mystic Venerable to lock onto him again.

Even if he could be found, it would be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years later.

By that time, Lin Yuan would have already stepped into the Sovereign Realm. With Lin Yuan's current Foundation, once he stepped into the Sovereign Realm and digested his various means, he wouldn't need to take a newly promoted Venerable like Nine Mystic Venerable seriously at all.

Most importantly, Lin Yuan's surface identity was a Pilgrimage Realm Peak living in the Chaos Continent of Venerable Gu Ming.

No matter how Nine Mystic Venerable investigated, he would only investigate Experts at the Chaos Venerable level, and could never trace it back to Lin Yuan.

"Senior, you…"

Inside the Sinister Pool, Cang Yulong cautiously looked at Lin Yuan.

Even with the chaos tree and the mysterious Legacy space as rewards, Cang Yulong dared not be sure whether Lin Yuan was willing to help him.

After all, the enemy was a Venerable.

"I promise you."

Lin Yuan looked at Cang Yulong and spoke.

"You promised me?"

Cang Yulong was slightly stunned.

This sentence contained too much information.

There was the possibility that he might finally no longer suffer the endless erosion of the Sinister Pool.

There was the fact that countless Stone People Clan wouldn't need to continue living in anxiety, worrying about dying under the wrath of Nine Mystic Venerable one day.

And the young man in front of him who had ties with the Stone People Clan was also most likely a Venerable.

If he wasn't a Venerable, even if the reward was ten or a hundred times more precious than the chaos tree, one had to have the ability to take it.

"But I cannot guarantee that I can save all the Stone People Clan, though you and I can be saved."

Lin Yuan said.

"Cannot guarantee saving all the Stone People Clan?"

For some reason, hearing this, Cang Yulong instead let out a sigh of relief.

If Lin Yuan guaranteed everything, Cang Yulong wouldn't feel at ease.

Now, all the Stone People Clan were in the Internal World of Nine Mystic Venerable, and only he, Cang Yulong, remained outside to endure the torment of the Sinister Pool water.

It was simply unrealistic for Lin Yuan to guarantee saving all the Stone People Clan.

"As long as Senior is willing to make a move, I will hand everything over to Senior."

Cang Yulong said in a deep voice.

Now he simply had no other choice.

"Mn."

"Wait here for a moment."

After saying that, Lin Yuan's figure disappeared.

"Senior has left."

Cang Yulong glanced around, unable to see Lin Yuan's figure anymore.

After a long while.

A childish voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

"Brat, you scared me to death just now, I almost thought I was going to be discovered." This childish voice revealed a sense of lingering fear.

"Can that Senior just now really be trusted?" Cang Yulong asked in his heart.

It was precisely this childish voice that had reminded him just now that Lin Yuan and Nine Mystic Venerable were not people of the same path, which led Cang Yulong to finally choose to tell everything.

"Rest assured, that person has no Karma with Nine Xuan whatsoever, and he probably doesn't even know Nine Xuan. Sneaking in here, he most likely really has ties with your Stone People Clan."

The childish voice sounded somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect that such a weak race as your Stone People Clan could actually be acquainted with a Venerable?"

"Is that Senior really a Venerable?"

Cang Yulong's heart shook.

"I don't know if he is a Venerable, but his comprehension of Time and Space should have reached the Eighth Realm." The childish voice replied.

"Eighth Realm of Time and Space."

Cang Yulong swallowed his saliva; as far as he knew, not all Chaos Venerables had comprehension of the Eighth Realm of Time and Space.

Outside the Nine Profound Secret Realm.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared once again.

"That Stone People Clan…"

Cang Yulong's appearance surfaced in Lin Yuan's mind. The moment he saw the other party, he vaguely sensed that another conscious fluctuation was faintly hidden within his body.

This feeling was very vague and faint; even ordinary Chaos Venerable Peak might not be able to detect it.

"It seems that brat also has secrets, but the chaos tree should be real."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"For a chaos tree, it is indeed worth deploying two Primordial Spirits."

Lin Yuan muttered to himself.

The chaos tree had immeasurable value and was one of the few supreme treasures that could directly enhance the Foundation of the Venerable level.

Its help to Lin Yuan was likewise not small.

It even had a certain driving effect on the Cultivate of the third layer of Infinite Void.

"Primordial Spirit."

Lin Yuan looked up in a certain direction.

Outside the Chaos Continent of Venerable Gu Ming was the boundless Chaos Void.

Lin Yuan's Solar Nascent Soul sat cross-legged right here.

"Using the Incarnation as coordinates, ultra-long-distance teleportation can be directly performed."

Lin Yuan's two Primordial Spirits thought inwardly.

This was also one of the abilities of the Eighth Realm of Time and Space. As long as he possessed the 'coordinates' that could support teleportation, he could execute ultra-long-distance teleportation.

To deal with a Chaos Realm like Nine Mystic Venerable, relying solely on one Incarnation was obviously not enough. To be safe, it was better to deploy both Primordial Spirits.

Once Lin Yuan's two Primordial Spirits fused to transform into the Taiji Primordial Spirit, their combat and slaughter power would only be slightly inferior to his true Physical Body.

They likewise possessed the strength to reach the threshold of the Chaos Realm.

"Start."

Around the two Primordial Spirits of the sun and moon, dense time and space fluctuations rippled, and they vanished in a flash.

Nine Profound Secret Realm.

Inside the Sinister Pool.

Cang Yulong was still soaking inside.

"Could Senior have gone back on his word?" Cang Yulong suffered deeply in his heart.

If he had been in perpetual despair, Cang Yulong could have endured it, but after seeing hope and then falling back into despair, the taste in Cang Yulong's heart was indescribable.

"Brat, isn't it fine to just honestly wait, wanting to—" The childish figure just wanted to reprimand Cang Yulong, but then stopped abruptly.

The next moment.

A figure appeared beside the Sinister Pool once again.

It was none other than Lin Yuan.

"Senior."

Cang Yulong perked up.

"These chains…" Lin Yuan glanced at the chains locking Cang Yulong's limbs and body.

These chains not only locked Cang Yulong's Physical Body, but also locked his Soul and mind.

To rescue Cang Yulong, these chains had to be severed.

"I will sever these chains at the fastest speed, it might be very painful." Lin Yuan reminded.

"Senior, feel free to act. Over the years, I'm not good at anything else, but pain? Piece of cake." Cang Yulong said immediately.

"Mn."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Actually, these chains could also be slowly worn away, but it was too much of a waste of time. The moment the chains were worn away, Nine Mystic Venerable would know.

At the highest point of the Nine Profound Secret Realm.

Inside the magnificent grand hall.

Nine Mystic Venerable sat on the throne.

"That mysterious space should contain a certain Legacy. Being able to suppress that Legacy space with a chaos tree, it is most likely a Legacy at the Great Saint level."

Nine Mystic Venerable started daydreaming in his heart. Having just been promoted to the Chaos Realm, he obtained a Great Saint-level Legacy?

Nine Mystic Venerable felt that his luck was very good.

The only regret was letting that brat of the Stone People Clan get a head start.

But now that brat and the entire Stone People Clan had fallen into his hands.

Nine Mystic Venerable believed that it was only a matter of time before he obtained everything in that Legacy space.

Suddenly.

Nine Mystic Venerable's expression startled. He sensed that the aura over at the Sinister Pool had completely vanished, and his connection with Cang Yulong had also vanished.

"Not good!"

Nine Mystic Venerable was furious.

Right at this moment, the grand hall was instantly enveloped in a suffocating, scorching aura, ancient and boundless, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the earth.

Between heaven and earth, a young man with his hands behind his back appeared, blocking Nine Mystic Venerable's path.

"You?"

Nine Mystic Venerable stared at the young man in front of him, his expression changing slightly.
