"The Power of the World?"
The Supreme Immortal Kings, including Opening Heaven Immortal King and Great Immortal King, exchanged glances. They had never heard of such a power of creation before.
But since Martial Ancestor mentioned it, this power must exist.
"Let's go."
"Let's take a look at the Eighth Heaven."
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he headed towards the entrance of the Eighth Heaven.
At this time, the entrance to the Eighth Heaven was no longer guarded by the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era. It was empty, with wisps of illusory power drifting about.
This was the calamity from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven, a natural phenomenon within the Nine Heavens. Even if destroyed, it would recover.
Just like the barriers between the heavens that Lin Yuan tore open, they were now quickly restoring themselves.
"Let's just go through the entrance."
Lin Yuan glanced around.
Earlier, when his Tai Chi Primordial Spirit was ambushed by Lingxu Immortal King, Lin Yuan's true body was in a hurry, so he rushed through aggressively. Now, there was no need for that.
The entrance was right in front of them, so they could just go through it directly.
The calamity from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven was similar to a soul illusion, comparable to the Heart Demon Tribulation and the Mind Tribulation, but much stronger.
However, the many Supreme Immortal Kings present had strong minds due to their long years of cultivation. Even if they hadn't intentionally trained their minds, they were not weak, and could pass through easily.
Although Lin Yuan's years were relatively short, his mental and spiritual strength had been tempered by the body of the strongest one, and nurtured by the vast internal world.
He was stronger than the Supreme Immortal Kings present.
Swoosh.
Lin Yuan easily arrived at the Eighth Heaven.
The environment here was similar to the Seventh Heaven.
The only difference was a faint, mysterious aura, emanating from the Ninth Heaven above.
There are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens, with celestial beings in the Ninth Heaven.
This was the legend of the Ninth Heaven in the Spirit Realm since ancient times.
The so-called celestial beings, according to many Supreme Immortal Kings, might be an invincible strong one, sitting in the Ninth Heaven overlooking the vast Spirit Realm.
The Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era and the Three Thousand Dao States era were so eager to enter the Ninth Heaven because they hoped to receive guidance from this invincible strong one.
"Is this the Eighth Heaven?"
"It's indeed different from the Seventh Heaven."
Opening Heaven Immortal King and Great Immortal King, along with other Supreme Immortal Kings, followed.
This was their first time ascending to the Eighth Heaven, as they were always repelled by Lingxu Immortal King in previous battles.
Now, following Lin Yuan, they finally fulfilled their long-cherished wish.
"The Ninth Heaven?"
Lin Yuan looked up.
Compared to the barriers of the previous eight heavens, the barrier of the Ninth Heaven faintly glowed with a golden hue. Even Lin Yuan wasn't sure he could break it.
Or rather, he could tear it apart, but it would take a lot of time because the barriers between the Nine Heavens would quickly restore any damage.
Lin Yuan's speed in tearing had to far exceed the speed of the barrier's restoration.
"Let's head to the entrance of the Ninth Heaven."
Lin Yuan decided. After soul-searching Lingxu Immortal King, he had a thorough understanding of the Eighth Heaven and flew directly to the entrance of the Ninth Heaven.
At the entrance of the Ninth Heaven.
Dozens of figures stood there.
These dozens of figures were the most powerful Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era. Each had at least cultivated a high-level creation power to the third realm.
Most had mastered two or more high-level creation powers at the third realm. Lingxu Immortal King had suppressed the Supreme Immortal Kings of the Three Thousand Dao States era like Opening Heaven Immortal King.
But among this group of Supreme Immortal Kings, Lingxu was among the weakest.
The prehistoric era had a complete era, and with the long years experienced by the Three Thousand Dao States era, the number of Supreme Immortal Kings was far more and much stronger than the relatively young Three Thousand Dao States era.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh.
Lin Yuan appeared not far away.
Opening Heaven Immortal King, Great Immortal King, and other Supreme Immortal Kings followed behind Lin Yuan.
"So many strong ones?"
Opening Heaven Immortal King felt a chill down his spine. Only now did they realize how laughable their ascension battles were.
Any of the Supreme Immortal Kings standing at the entrance of the Ninth Heaven could suppress their group of more than twenty Supreme Immortal Kings.
Great Immortal King was also nervous. If it weren't for Lin Yuan standing in front of them, they might have considered fleeing.
Among the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era, the leading one was tall and had a chaotic aura. He stood at the forefront, clearly the leader of the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era.
"Chaos Immortal King."
Lin Yuan looked calmly.
After soul-searching Lingxu Immortal King, Lin Yuan naturally knew that Chaos Immortal King was the strongest Immortal King of the prehistoric era.
"Martial Ancestor."
Chaos Immortal King turned around, looking at Lin Yuan solemnly, "Lingxu has already told me."
"Martial Ancestor, your strength far surpasses mine."
"Whatever you want, just say it, and I will agree."
Chaos Immortal King said frankly, as if yielding was not shameful.
Indeed, Lingxu Immortal King had already shown the events of the Seventh Heaven to Chaos Immortal King and other Supreme Immortal Kings.
Even Chaos Immortal King and all the Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era admitted they couldn't achieve what Martial Ancestor did.
In Chaos Immortal King's numerous calculations, even if all the Supreme Immortal Kings joined forces against Martial Ancestor, they could only delay their defeat.
Knowing the outcome, Chaos Immortal King naturally chose to yield.
"Oh?"
Lin Yuan looked at Chaos Immortal King again.
This was good, saving him some effort.
"Separate your soul for me to soul-search." Lin Yuan said directly.
He chose not to directly soul-search as a response to Chaos Immortal King's cooperation.
Separating a soul for Lin Yuan to soul-search was different from being subdued and then soul-searched, it was better for their dignity.
"No problem."
Chaos Immortal King separated part of his soul.
This part contained all his memories. Lin Yuan only needed to soul-search this soul to know everything he wanted.
Buzz.
Lin Yuan took the part of Chaos Immortal King's soul.
In a few breaths, he finished the soul-searching.
"So that's it."
Lin Yuan felt enlightened.
In Chaos Immortal King's memory, there was the reason for the end of the prehistoric era.
At the end of the prehistoric era, a treasure fell from the Nine Heavens.
This treasure caused many Supreme Immortal Kings to engage in a fierce battle.
That battle almost led the Spirit Realm to apocalypse, with many Tribulation-stage Immortal Kings falling.
In the end, Chaos Immortal King, as the victor, obtained the treasure and led his followers into the Eighth Heaven.
After the prehistoric era.
The Spirit Realm took a long time to recover and gradually entered the next era.
The Three Thousand Dao States era.
To this day, the Three Thousand Dao States era is still in its early stages, not even a fraction of the time experienced by the prehistoric era.
"Give me the treasure."
Lin Yuan looked at Chaos Immortal King.
In the prehistoric era, Chaos Immortal King was one of the strongest. There were a few Supreme Immortal Kings who could match him. The treasure must be of great importance to make Chaos Immortal King risk fighting his peers.
"This is the treasure."
Chaos Immortal King hesitated but then handed over the treasure.
Lin Yuan's soul-searching of his soul fragment meant he had no reason to hide anything.
The treasure Chaos Immortal King gave was an irregular stone, emitting wisps of mysterious power and a primordial aura.
"This stone contains the aura of some kind of creation power, surpassing high-level creation power. If understood, even without taking that step, one can advance significantly in the domain of Supreme Immortal Kings."
Chaos Immortal King explained, looking at the irregular stone in Lin Yuan's hand.
"Unfortunately, after all these years, I haven't understood it. Even though I'm very close to the Ninth Heaven, I haven't grasped it."
Chaos Immortal King spoke with a hint of sadness.
The mysterious aura from the Ninth Heaven was similar to the stone, leading Chaos Immortal King to believe that long-term proximity to the Ninth Heaven would help understand the stone.
But over the years, his understanding of the stone had not advanced, and he had gained nothing from the mysterious creation power surpassing high-level creation power.
This was also why he handed over the stone so readily.
Chaos Immortal King felt that even if given another era, or ten eras, he would almost never understand the creation power within the stone.
"Creation power surpassing high-level creation power?" Lin Yuan carefully observed the irregular stone.
Compared to Chaos Immortal King's limited understanding, Lin Yuan, from the main world, knew the essence of cosmic power and that the power surpassing high-level cosmic power was the power mastered by a ninth-rank evolver.
Lin Yuan studied the irregular stone.
[Your Unrivaled Insight is helping you understand the mysterious origin, deepening your grasp of its power.]
[Your Unrivaled Insight is helping you understand the mysterious origin, deepening your grasp of its power.]
[Your Unrivaled Insight is helping you understand the mysterious origin, deepening your grasp of its power.]
"Mysterious origin." Lin Yuan pondered.
One thing was certain, the aura within the stone did surpass high-level creation power.
Lin Yuan watched for a while. If it were other high-level creation powers, he would have gained some insights, but facing this irregular stone, he had no significant gains.
Of course, this 'no significant gains' meant the gains were too small to notice.
"The Ninth Heaven."
Lin Yuan put away the irregular stone and looked towards the entrance of the Ninth Heaven.
Compared to the entrances of the previous eight heavens, the entrance to the Ninth Heaven was vast, seemingly welcoming the Supreme Immortal Kings.
But in fact, after soul-searching Chaos Immortal King's memory, Lin Yuan knew that the tribulation leading to the Ninth Heaven was terrifyingly strong.
The entrance to the Ninth Heaven contained the life imprints of the ten strongest Supreme Immortal Kings in the history of the Spirit Realm.
In other words, to enter the Ninth Heaven, one must defeat the ten strongest Supreme Immortal Kings since the birth of the Spirit Realm.
Actually, calling them the ten strongest Supreme Immortal Kings wasn't entirely accurate.
They were the ten strongest beings.
Because some of these Supreme Immortal Kings might have taken a half step further.
The prehistoric era, the Three Thousand Dao States era.
These were just the most recent two eras.
Before these eras, there were even more ancient eras.
No one knows when the Spirit Realm was born. Although the Supreme Immortal Kings exist with the Spirit Realm, it doesn't mean they won't die.
For instance, the end of the prehistoric era saw the fall of many Supreme Immortal Kings.
"With Martial Ancestor's strength, he can definitely try to break through the entrance of the Ninth Heaven." Chaos Immortal King said softly.
He had tried but couldn't even defeat the life imprint of the first Supreme Immortal King, almost being crushed and barely retreating.
"You want to watch me break through?"
Lin Yuan glanced at Chaos Immortal King, "No rush."
Even Lin Yuan wouldn't underestimate the ten strongest beings in the history of the Spirit Realm.
That's not just one era, but since the birth of the Spirit Realm.
Lin Yuan would indeed try to break through the entrance of the Ninth Heaven, but not now. He would wait until his strength peaked.
Currently, Lin Yuan surpassed Chaos Immortal King, the strongest Immortal King of an era, but he hadn't reached his own limit.
The green liquid in the mysterious gourd could still be absorbed.
The eighth rank of the martial evolution system had not been fully developed.
The complete core space model had not been comprehended.
The cultivation of Tai Chi power had not reached the third realm.
Several other high-level creation powers and many ordinary creation powers were only at the first realm.
There was also the irregular stone from Chaos Immortal King, containing mysterious creation power surpassing high-level creation power.
Chaos Immortal King couldn't understand it, but that didn't mean Lin Yuan couldn't. It was just a matter of time.
There was still a long way to go before Lin Yuan reached his limit.
And this time, Lin Yuan had a stay limit of over nine hundred years, with only four hundred years passed.
Before knowing what unexpected events might occur after breaking through the entrance of the Ninth Heaven, Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't rush in.
Chaos Immortal King tried but quickly retreated because he faced the first life imprint.
So, he had room to retreat.
Lin Yuan wasn't sure if he could retreat after facing deeper life imprints if he failed.
In this case, Lin Yuan would be cautious.
Other Supreme Immortal Kings yearned to ascend to the Ninth Heaven to take that step.
Lin Yuan didn't have that desire. The main world had many complete evolution paths, giving Lin Yuan many ways to reach the ninth rank.
What he needed to do now was to steadily pass the remaining stay time, turning it into gains to take back to the main world.
"By the way."
"All of you Supreme Immortal Kings, separate a wisp of your creation power and give it to me."
Lin Yuan looked at Chaos Immortal King and the other Supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era, commanding them.
"Yes."
Chaos Immortal King was stunned. Although he didn't know why Lin Yuan needed so many creation powers, he didn't dare to ask and obediently separated a wisp of his creation power.
"Very good."
Lin Yuan looked at the dozens of wisps of creation power, including several high-level creation powers he had never seen, feeling quite satisfied.
Thus.
Lin Yuan's true body remained stationed at the entrance to the Ninth Heaven, starting to meditate and comprehend again.
Time passed.
Five hundred years flowed by like water.
