Chapter 594 Meeting the Emperor

The treasure list of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom contained far too many treasures, resources, Legacy guides, and so on.

But those meeting Lin Yuan's established requirements—

maximum help to himself,

preferably Legacy guides,

and under 120,000 merits.

There were far fewer that met these three conditions.

At a single glance, there were only dozens of them.

In fact, the treasure list also included a large number of Legacy guides worth only a few hundred or a thousand merits, but none of them had any effect on Lin Yuan.

"Chaotic Mystery Diagram?"

Lin Yuan carefully examined the introduction of this type of Legacy guide.

The Chaotic Mystery Diagram was inscribed with Chaos mystery runes, and the Chaos mystery runes were the essential veins of the Chaos Rules.

It was also the only method Lin Yuan knew of so far that could directly enhance the comprehension of the Chaos Rules.

The Chaos Rules had long evolved into myriad rule Daos as the heaven and earth opened up.

To enhance the comprehension of other rule Daos, one only needed to comprehend the corresponding ones among the myriad rule Daos operating in the world.

But what about the Chaos Rules?

Among the myriad rule Daos operating in the world, there were no Chaos Rules.

Therefore,

the normal means to enhance the comprehension of the Chaos Rules could only be achieved indirectly through comprehending the myriad rule Daos.

However, the Chaos mystery runes were the manifestation of the Chaos Rules.

Comprehending the Chaos mystery runes could directly enhance the comprehension of the Chaos Rules.

Earlier, in the war between the Azure Ember Domain and the Purple Dream Domain, Lin Yuan comprehended many War Machines, which essentially meant comprehending the Chaos mystery runes contained within the War Machines.

"I did not expect that these Chaos mystery runes could be exchanged in the treasure vault."

Lin Yuan thought to himself,

originally he had intended to see if he could acquire a War Machine surpassing the Grade-A level to comprehend.

"That is right, there was even a chance to possess the Fiery Sun First Ancestor, so what are mere Chaos mystery runes?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself secretly.

The so-called Ancient Kingdom top secrets were only relative.

Lin Yuan was currently a core imperial family member of the Ancient Kingdom, and with sufficient merits, those past top secrets were no longer considered top secrets to him.

"There are a total of eighty-one Chaotic Mystery Diagrams, among which nine represent the First Realm of the Chaos Rules."

"There are eighteen Chaotic Mystery Diagrams for the Second Stage of the Chaos Rules, and the rest elaborate on the Third Realm of the Chaos Rules."

Lin Yuan looked at the detailed introduction of the Chaotic Mystery Diagrams.

Each of the nine Chaotic Mystery Diagrams for the First Realm of Chaos required five thousand merits to exchange.

Adding all nine together required 45,000 merits.

As for the eighteen Chaotic Mystery Diagrams for the Second Stage of the Chaos Rules, the exchange merit for each was ten thousand.

As for the fifty-four Chaotic Mystery Diagrams for the Third Realm of the Chaos Rules, each cost 100,000 merits.

"My comprehension of the Chaos Rules is close to the Peak of the Second Stage. The first nine Chaotic Mystery Diagrams do not need to be exchanged, and among the eighteen Chaotic Mystery Diagrams representing the Second Stage of the Chaos Rules, I only need to exchange for the last one or two."

Lin Yuan pondered inwardly.

Under the premise of having only 120,000 merits, he naturally had to spend sparingly.

From front to back, the Chaotic Mystery Diagrams were arranged in the order of elaborating the Chaos Rules from shallow to deep.

"Twelve thousand merits, exchange for the last two mystery diagrams of the Second Stage of the Chaos Rules, and the first mystery diagram of the Third Realm of the Chaos Rules."

Looking at each Chaotic Mystery Diagram and feeling the aura emanating from them, Lin Yuan confirmed that the mystery diagrams he purchased were all parts of the Chaos Rules he had not yet comprehended.

To facilitate selection, each Chaotic Mystery Diagram would reveal a small portion to prevent purchasing parts that had already been comprehended.

"It is a pity that I can only exchange for the first one among the fifty-four mystery diagrams of the Third Realm of the Chaos Rules."

Lin Yuan glanced at the remaining fifty-three mystery diagrams.

In addition, Lin Yuan was also tempted by other filtered Legacy guides, but after careful consideration, he chose the Chaotic Mystery Diagrams.

"I am still too poor right now."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, "However, for me, the first mystery diagram of the Third Realm of the Chaos Rules is temporarily enough. As for the subsequent mystery diagrams, I can wait until I save up enough merits to exchange for them."

Crimson Treasure King had told him that as core imperial family members, they all had fixed sources of merits, and the Heavenly Venerable level titled kings were the same, and this was also the Foundation for the overall stability of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom.

Whether it was the imperial family or the Heavenly Venerable level titled kings, although they were all fighting, overall they prioritized the interests of the Ancient Kingdom.

The so-called fighting was merely internal strife; once it affected the overall interests of the Ancient Kingdom, both the imperial family and the Heavenly Venerables would unite to face external threats.

The illusory old man condensed from flames waited patiently by the side. The treasures, resources, and Legacy guides included in the treasure list were all-encompassing. Anyone making their selection for the first time would be dazzled; even if they could not afford them, there was no problem looking at them for a while longer.

"I will exchange for these three Chaotic Mystery Diagrams."

Lin Yuan looked at the illusory old man and said.

The illusory old man was slightly surprised, "Descendant of Blazing Sun, are you sure you do not want to exchange for a superior weapon? 120,000 merits are enough to exchange for several Heavenly Venerable level weapon secret treasures."

Regardless of the level of the expert, whether a Great Honored Being or a Heavenly Venerable, a suitable weapon secret treasure was the fastest and greatest way to enhance one's combat power.

As for Legacy guides like Chaotic Mystery Diagrams? How profound and wondrous the Chaos Rules were! Even with the Chaotic Mystery Diagrams reflecting the essential veins of the Chaos Rules, nobody knew how many years it would take to fully comprehend them.

Lin Yuan only had 120,000 merits, and he used all of them to exchange for this kind of Legacy guide? This was indeed rare.

"Sure." Lin Yuan nodded.

Suitable weapon secret treasures could be bought from the outside world, but such Chaotic Mystery Diagrams were only available in the treasure vault.

Having experienced the war between the Azure Ember Domain and the Purple Dream Domain, Lin Yuan was quite wealthy now.

Besides, given Lin Yuan's personality, unless it was an absolute last resort, he would not easily make a move, so weapon secret treasures were not urgent for the time being.

"These are the three Chaotic Mystery Diagrams."

The illusory old man smiled slightly, and immediately three 'diagrams' shrouded in light and swirling with Chaos Qi appeared before him.

"Descendant of Blazing Sun, please swear in the name of Blazing Sun that you are forbidden from spreading these three Chaotic Mystery Diagrams."

The illusory old man looked at Lin Yuan.

"Alright."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"I, in the name of Blazing Sun—"

Lin Yuan repeated according to the illusory old man's request.

The moment Lin Yuan finished speaking, an extremely obscure gaze glanced at him from the eternal blazing sun high above the firmament.

Lin Yuan had a feeling that once he broke his oath, he would suffer a strike from that eternal blazing sun.

A strike from a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform, who could block it? Any resurrection means would be useless, and everything would be wiped out from the origin.

In the Chaos Void, there were also means of swearing in the name of the Chaotic Void Origin consciousness, but how could those consequences compare to swearing in the name of a certain Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform?

The Chaos Void had no specific aversions, but a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform did.

"No wonder so many Legacy guides in the treasure vault have never leaked a single one." Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Even if Experts from a hostile Ancient Kingdom sneaked into the capital of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom and had already obtained certain Legacy guides, they could not spread them out, which did not hold much meaning.

"I wonder what consequences there would be if I leaked these mystery diagrams in the Chaos Void." Lin Yuan's thoughts drifted.

There was no doubt that as long as it was within this Origin World, the moment of breaking the oath would be perceived by the Fiery Sun First Ancestor.

But what about the Chaos Void?

That was another dimensional space, and even a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform would find it difficult to cause any impact.

After finishing the oath,

Lin Yuan deducted 120,000 merits and at the same time accepted the three Chaotic Mystery Diagrams.

"Manifestation of the essential veins of the Chaos Rules."

The moment Lin Yuan received them, he was shocked by the profound mysteries of Chaos contained within them.

Compared to the Chaos mystery runes contained within the War Machines, these Chaotic Mystery Diagrams were more direct and pointed straight to the fundamentals.

Staying for a moment, Lin Yuan immediately got up and left, returning to the prince's residence to begin deeply comprehending these Chaotic Mystery Diagrams.

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying. Comprehending the Chaotic Mystery Diagrams enhances your comprehension of the Chaos Rules.]

A large amount of spiritual inspiration continuously emerged in Lin Yuan's mind.

Compared to comprehending War Machines, the efficiency of directly comprehending Chaotic Mystery Diagrams was vastly improved.

The Chaos mystery runes on War Machines were combinations and flections between different Chaos mystery runes. Each War Machine had different abilities; some excelled in slaughter, some in defense, some in Domain suppression, and so on.

The Ancient Countries listed the Chaos mystery runes on War Machines as top secrets, which did not refer to the Chaos mystery runes themselves.

The eighty-one Chaotic Mystery Diagrams were possessed by the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, and also by the five major Ancient Countries such as the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom and the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.

The true value of War Machines lay in the application between the Chaos Rules they contained.

Mastering the corresponding application methods would enable the batch production of identical War Machines, and even research the weaknesses of such War Machines.

When Lin Yuan comprehended War Machines, he needed to realize different profound mysteries of the Chaos Rules from them. The Chaos mystery runes contained in some War Machines came from parts of the first Chaotic Mystery Diagram, parts of the third Chaotic Mystery Diagram, and parts of the seventh Chaotic Mystery Diagram.

During the comprehension period, Lin Yuan needed to categorize them, which would waste some energy.

But directly comprehending the Chaotic Mystery Diagrams was much simpler; he could comprehend them directly, step by step, which could not be simpler.

"Peak of the Second Stage of the Chaos Rules?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. Originally, according to his prediction, under the condition of having an endless stream of War Machines to comprehend, reaching the Peak comprehension of the Second Stage of the Chaos Rules would take at most around a thousand years.

Now only five hundred years had passed. Although he was already close to the Peak of the Second Stage, based on the previous comprehension promotion speed, it was estimated that it would still take four or five hundred years to completely step into it.

But now?

Comprehending the Chaos mystery diagrams, Lin Yuan felt that stepping into the Peak of the Second Stage would only take a few years.

The Chaos Rules only had three realms; reaching the Peak of the Second Stage was only one step away from the highest Third Realm.

The most crucial point was that after reaching the Peak of the Second Stage, Lin Yuan could consider using the Chaos Rules to evolve the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji Power.

The reason why Great Honored Beings of this Origin World could compare and benchmark against Chaos Void venerables even when their Foundations were inferior to them was because they could evolve Chaos-exclusive power at the level of a Great Honored Being.

Placed in the Chaos Void, this was a level that only Great Saints could come into contact with.

The next day,

Lin Yuan stopped Cultivating and came outside the prince's residence.

Crimson Treasure King had been waiting outside for a long time, looking at Lin Yuan with a smile, and said, "Brother Galaxy, hurry up and come with me to see Your Majesty."

"See Your Majesty?"

Lin Yuan had long been prepared for this. Coming to the capital city, he definitely needed to meet the emperor of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom.

"Actually, Your Majesty wanted to see you as soon as you arrived in the capital," Crimson Treasure King said, "but worried that you would not get used to it, he waited until today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Yuan said.

"What is there to thank? We are all family."

Crimson Treasure King immediately led Lin Yuan toward the core palace of the capital city.

That was also where the imperial palace of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom was located, and the safest place in the entire capital city.

The halls were towering and magnificent. Following behind Crimson Treasure King, Lin Yuan quickly arrived at a grand hall.

"Crimson Treasure, Galaxy."

The emperor of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom was a weathered man with an unadorned and ancient appearance and deep eyes. Upon seeing Lin Yuan and Crimson Treasure King, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty."

Crimson Treasure King slightly bowed.

Lin Yuan, without leaving a trace, glanced at the emperor.

In Lin Yuan's field of vision, the emperor of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom seemed to have merged into one with this imperial palace and the Blazing Sun capital city.

"That Spirit God King started a war without hesitation just to become the emperor of the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom." Lin Yuan instantly understood, merging with the entire capital city?

One's Physical Body, physique, and Bloodline would all undergo transformation. Even for ordinary imperial family members, over a long time, the Bloodline concentration would naturally reach the level of the core imperial family.

Moreover, becoming the emperor of an Ancient Kingdom also allowed one to control the grand formation of the Ancient Kingdom's capital, easily suppressing and killing Heavenly Venerable level Experts.

This feeling of transcending everything and overlooking everything would indeed be pursued by many Experts.

"Seeing an imperial family member like you makes me feel that the future of the Ancient Kingdom is bright."

The emperor looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile.

The moment Lin Yuan entered the grand hall, he was certain that Lin Yuan's body flowed with the core imperial family Bloodline of Blazing Sun, as well as a rich Blazing Sun Qi.

In terms of strength, the emperor was unquestionably the strongest, but the emperor's strength was temporary, whereas Lin Yuan's strength belonged to himself.

"Alright, let us talk about business." The emperor sighed for a moment, looked at Lin Yuan, and said, "Galaxy, since you chose to join our imperial family, naturally you did not join in vain."

"With your strength and potential, you can garrison some special resource treasure lands."

The emperor said with a smile.

"Garrison resource treasure lands?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred.

The territory of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom was vast and boundless, and there also existed some resource treasure lands naturally nurtured by heaven and earth.

Much like the Secret Realms nurtured by the Chaos Void, many Secret Realms produced special resources of precious and exorbitant value.

Garrisoning these resource treasure lands meant occupying them for the Ancient Kingdom. Nine-tenths of the resources produced within the resource treasure lands needed to be turned over to the Ancient Kingdom, while one could keep one-tenth for oneself.

In addition, depending on the preciousness of the garrisoned resource treasure land, the garrisoning person could obtain a certain amount of merit income at regular intervals.

You must know that merits in the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom were extremely difficult to obtain. Lin Yuan single-handedly reversed the war situation between the Azure Ember Domain and the Purple Dream Domain, and his final merit evaluation was only 120,000.

But garrisoning a resource treasure land could yield a steady stream of merits? Naturally, it was sought after by numerous titled kings.

A precious resource treasure land was a cash cow. Titled kings also had huge daily consumptions; the more precious the garrisoned treasure land and the greater the income, the greater the help to themselves naturally.

"Galaxy, these are all the treasure lands of our Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom currently. Choose three of them."

The emperor waved his hand, and a territory map of the entire Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom appeared before him, with many areas flashing with light.
