Chapter 623 Eternal Sleep

"Is this that supreme treasure?"

Lin Yuan observed carefully.

Within the hazy light, a palm-sized tripod was faintly visible.

From the mouth of the Mausoleum spirit, he learned that Profound Emperor finally obtained a supreme treasure from within the dimensional crevice, which led him to decide to break through to the Thirteenth Order in advance.

At that time, Lin Yuan still thought that the preciousness of this supreme treasure might approach the Thirteenth Order.

But what Profound Emperor meant just now was that he worried if he delayed too long, the information of the supreme treasure would leak, attracting the gaze of the Thirteen Step Time Life.

Treasures merely approaching the Thirteenth Order level could not attract the gaze of the Time Lifeform.

To attract the attention of a Time Lifeform, there was only—

"That's right, this supreme treasure is a Thirteen level weapon," the stalwart and majestic man said.

"A Thirteen level weapon?"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and the small tripod within the hazy light in Profound Emperor's hands instantly became unfathomable.

"That dimensional crevice should be the battlefield where two Thirteenth Order beings fought. This supreme treasure is estimated to be left behind by one of them. I can feel that the owner of the supreme treasure is still alive, only having forgotten to retrieve this supreme treasure."

Profound Emperor said in a deep voice.

It was just like how he, Profound Emperor, fought with Experts of the same level, leaving behind an ordinary Great Saint level treasure, not thinking of it for a moment, and thus not retrieving it.

Thirteenth Order lifeforms are also called Time Lifeforms, and their concept of time is different from the Twelfth Order.

For example, if hundreds of millions of cosmic eras have passed for the Twelfth Order, to a Thirteen Step Time Life, it might have only been a few breaths.

Of course, the Thirteenth Order lifeform might have forgotten this weapon, but if this weapon actively called out to the Thirteen Step Time Life, making the latter remember, then it was very likely to be taken back.

This was also the reason why Profound Emperor immediately broke through to the Thirteenth Order and suppressed this treasure with the power of the time loop.

Only in this way could he prevent this supreme treasure from calling its owner.

As for whether the owner of this weapon would find out afterwards… If Profound Emperor stepped into the Thirteenth Order, naturally it wouldn't be a big deal. If he failed to step in, this supreme treasure would be deeply trapped in the time loop, and the Thirteen Step Time Life would have to break the time loop and help Profound Emperor escape if they wanted to retrieve it.

Of course, even a Thirteen Step Time Life would have to pay a heavy price to break the time loop.

Therefore, Profound Emperor's act of suppressing this Thirteen level weapon basically had no hidden dangers.

"Entering the time loop with this supreme treasure can slightly break the restrictions within the time loop, raising your starting point just a little bit," Profound Emperor said.

"Slightly break the restrictions within the time loop?" Lin Yuan's eyes were full of amazement. No wonder Profound Emperor desperately rushed to break through to the Thirteenth Order in advance.

In addition, being able to break free from the time loop so easily and forcibly, Profound Emperor probably also relied on the power of this supreme treasure.

"For you."

Profound Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and gently tossed the hazy light in his hand.

Lin Yuan subconsciously caught it, and the small tripod covered by the hazy light landed in his hand.

"It's very light."

Lin Yuan only felt that there was not the slightest weight, as if he were holding a ball of air.

"Now this supreme treasure has been reinforced and sealed by me with the power of the time loop for more than thirty million cosmic eras. Even if it leaves the time loop world, the time power of the Seal outside can last for a hundred cosmic eras."

Profound Emperor looked at Lin Yuan: "In other words, within a hundred cosmic eras, this supreme treasure will not actively call its owner. Once a hundred cosmic eras pass, it cannot be guaranteed."

"At that time, if you step into Chaos Realm Perfection, try your best to break through to the Thirteenth Order. If you haven't reached Chaos Realm Perfection yet—"

Profound Emperor thought for a moment, "However, with your talent and Aptitude, it should be possible to reach Chaos Realm Perfection within a hundred cosmic eras."

"I will work hard."

Lin Yuan nodded solemnly.

"Also, if you encounter danger in the future and are about to completely perish? Or if this supreme treasure is about to be snatched away, you can also choose to directly activate this supreme treasure," Profound Emperor said.

"This supreme treasure is a Thirteen level weapon. With your strength, even if you urge it with all your might, you won't be able to unleash much might, but even just a sliver of might is enough to easily annihilate any Chaos Realm Perfection."

Profound Emperor said: "However, once you do this, it will inevitably attract the gaze of the supreme treasure's owner, and in the end, this supreme treasure will most likely be taken away."

"Understood."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Therefore, unless it is an absolute last resort, Profound Emperor does not recommend Lin Yuan to do this.

Of course, if it really comes to a last resort where not activating this supreme treasure means it will be snatched away by other Experts, then Lin Yuan would naturally choose to activate it without hesitation.

"Besides, you can comprehend this supreme treasure. This is much more useful than comprehending the time Bloodlines of those spectacle lifeforms."

Profound Emperor smiled slightly.

Lin Yuan nodded.

A Thirteen level weapon was personally refined by a Thirteenth Order lifeform. The profound mysteries of time contained within it—how could the Bloodlines of those half-baked spectacle lifeforms compare?

"Alright."

"Do you have any doubts now?"

Profound Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile.

"None."

Lin Yuan shook his head.

Profound Emperor had explained it clearly enough.

Through the experience of this Invincible Great Saint, Lin Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the time loop.

The so-called time loop would not only present trials he had never encountered before, but also force him to face the deepest weaknesses and obsessions within his heart.

"This Xuanhuang Universe was opened up by me. If I completely perish, it will also perish along with me and cannot be left to you."

Profound Emperor waved his right hand, and numerous lights flashed within the Universe. All kinds of rare treasures gathered in Profound Emperor's hands, "However, I have fetched all these rare treasures for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Yuan said earnestly.

Due to the sudden arrival of Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage, Lin Yuan's many sent-out Incarnations hadn't finished searching everywhere in the Universe before they were forced to stop and return.

Now that Profound Emperor took the initiative to act, it saved Lin Yuan a lot of time.

"No need to thank me. No matter what, you are my successor after all, which is still better than leaving them to outsiders."

Profound Emperor smiled slightly, then stood up, "Since you no longer have any doubts, I should also go out and take a look."

"Go out and take a look?"

Lin Yuan was slightly startled.

"Go see some old friends, and by the way, prepare some more things for you."

Profound Emperor took a step forward and disappeared in front of Lin Yuan.

"Old friends?"

Lin Yuan's expression was solemn. Those who could be called old friends by Your Majesty Xuan Huang must be incomparably ancient Peerless Great Saints, having experienced at least over thirty million cosmic eras.

Outside the Xuanhuang Universe.

The stalwart and majestic man appeared once again.

Rumbling.

The entire Chaos Void suddenly roared, the Dao rules yielded, and space-time began to roll backward. The stalwart and majestic man took another step forward, and his figure disappeared.

Sea of Life.

This place was a mysterious place in the Chaos Void. Without a specific time, even a Peerless Great Saint would find it very difficult to force their way in. It ranked alongside mysterious places like the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool and the Myriad Calamity Source Mountain.

Swish.

The Sea of Life stirred up waves, and a large amount of surging life aura permeated the air. Occasionally, pieces of life god stone could be seen falling.

Just at this moment.

The space-time of this mysterious place was torn open, and a stalwart and majestic man walked in.

In an instant.

The entire Sea of Life stirred up monstrous waves, and an invisible, terrifying pressure pressed down toward the stalwart and majestic man.

But the moment all the pressure touched the stalwart and majestic man, it dissipated and diluted.

"Profound Emperor, what are you here for?"

From deep within the Sea of Life came an indifferent voice.

"Before perishing, I've come to ask you for a piece of Life Source Stone," the stalwart and majestic man said with a smile.

"Life Source Stone? You already stole a piece of Life Source Stone back then, and now you want another one?" The voice deep within the Sea of Life carried a hint of anger.

More than thirty million cosmic eras ago, in order to replicate the Sea of Life and build the Life Source Star of the Xuanhuang Universe, Profound Emperor specifically came here and stole a piece of Life Source Stone.

This matter caused the Sea of Life to never drop another piece of life god stone for the next tens of millions of cosmic eras.

The Life Source Stone was countless times more precious than the life god stone; it was the Foundation condensed by the Sea of Life over countless cosmic eras.

"Yeah, I want another one."

The stalwart and majestic man nodded, "Are you going to give it or not?"

As soon as these words were spoken—

The depths of the Sea of Life instantly fell into silence.

"You also know that I don't have much longer to live," the stalwart and majestic man said.

"Scram."

The waves of the Sea of Life surged, and a crystal stone the size of a fist shot out rapidly from the depths.

"Hahaha."

The stalwart and majestic man laughed out loud and turned to leave the Sea of Life.

In front of an ancient mine.

The stalwart and majestic man appeared out of thin air.

"Before I die, can you give me some crystal ore?" The stalwart and majestic man spoke, his voice spreading across the ancient mine.

"Profound Emperor, you've crossed the line. How precious is crystal ore—" From deep within the mine came another cold voice.

"In that case, before I die, I'll see if I can overturn your mine," the stalwart and majestic man said, "I've wanted to do this for a long time."

After a moment.

A beam of crystal light flew out from deep within the ancient mine.

The stalwart and majestic man caught the crystal light and turned to leave.

On this day.

Xuan Huang Great Saint from more than thirty million cosmic eras ago entered many mysterious places in the Chaos Void, triggering the fury of the special beings in these mysterious places.

Peerless Great Saints looked at each other from afar. These ancient mysterious places had existed for too long and were listed alongside special beings like the Eye of Myriad Laws. Even the Invincible Great Saints in history would not push them too hard.

In the end, Xuan Huang Great Saint's aura disappeared into the Chaos Void. No one knew where this peerless expert had gone. All auras had vanished, and not even a shred of Karma could be sensed.

In an incomparably remote corner of the Chaos Void.

The Chaos Qi here was thin, forming a Barren Void.

Outside a naturally formed Universe.

A stalwart and majestic figure silently appeared, who was precisely Profound Emperor.

Profound Emperor quietly looked at the Universe not far away, his gaze penetrating into the Universe and landing on a Secret Realm half-fused with the Universe Origin.

This Secret Realm was similar to the Profound Yellow Secret Realm, but it had fused more thoroughly with the Universe Origin, making it basically impossible to enter.

The Secret Realm was empty.

There were no rare treasures that were hard to see in thousands of cosmic eras.

Nor were there any rare treasures that numerous Great Saints fought their lives for.

Let alone shocking weapons and arms of the Great Saint level.

Only in the center of the Secret Realm stood a lonely tomb, surrounded by some blooming pink peach blossoms.

"Senior Sister."

Across the Universe, Profound Emperor looked toward that tomb, a rare trace of tenderness appearing on his face as he muttered to himself:

"I can finally sleep eternally with you."

In the end, Xuan Huang Great Saint's figure became blurry and illusory. Chaos Qi drifted past, turning into a rain of light that merged into the distant Universe.
