High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 538: Source Seed! Daozu Returns (6K)

The palace suspended in the endless darkness seemed eternal. Time, space, laws... all the forces between heaven and earth seemed to converge at this moment and gather in this palace.

As his eyes fell in front of the palace, Li Yuan still had many messy thoughts in his mind.

But when you see it.

"Om-"

A wave seemed to come from the depths of the palace, completely submerging Li Yuan's consciousness.

Countless scenes instantly filled Li Yuan's consciousness. At this moment, he forgot himself and was completely immersed in those scenes.

In the endless chaos, a point of light suddenly exploded, countless matter was born, and then gathered to form star fields... This was the birth of the universe.

The universe is vast, the star fields are countless, and under the operation of the rules, countless lives are born...

A large number of star regions gathered together, and life gave rise to brilliant civilizations, one after another of different civilizations. This was the birth of a "divine domain"...

Many brilliant civilizations are just the tip of the iceberg of the dark zone of the universe. Countless special areas can be called forbidden areas for life. They are extremely dangerous, but they have bred a large number of strange life forms...

Life was born and multiplied, and this boundless starry sky ushered in a great destruction, with scenes of destruction one after another...

this moment.

Li Yuan's consciousness followed these images, as if experiencing endless years, impacting his mind and silently changing his cognition.

There was so much information that he couldn't remember it at all. He could only remember a little bit, which formed a vague concept.

Maybe it's billions of years, or maybe it's just a moment.

"Buzz~" Li Yuan's consciousness has left this mysterious and vast place and returned to his body.

……

Li Yuan’s magical experience.

Neither the inheritor nor the 'tree spirit' whose original power rivaled that of a god king noticed anything at all.

This is a mysterious power from a higher level.

Although they had been observing Li Yuan, from their perspective, Li Yuan was only stunned for a moment before returning to normal.

The inheritors and tree spirits are still preparing for their missions.

……

In the inheritance hall.

"call!"

Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes. A trace of confusion flashed across his eyes first, followed by endless horror.

“Just now, I…”

"The supreme palace I saw when my consciousness landed, is it the 'Eternal Palace'?" Li Yuan was a little confused.

The Eternal Palace was specifically mentioned by Senior Meng when we were in the Eternal Palace.

According to what Senior Meng said, the Mind Palace originated from the Eternal Palace and is a projection of the Eternal Palace.

"Could this fifth spiritual guidance be to guide my consciousness to the Eternal Palace?" Li Yuan guessed in his heart.

For now, this can only be his guess.

"This spiritual guidance is completely different from the previous four spiritual guidances..." Li Yuan closed his eyes gently, and the countless blurry scenes came to his mind again.

Very vague!
And very real!

"Is that the universe? The birth, development and destruction of a vast universe?" Li Yuan murmured to himself.

It was too shocking.

If the experience of consciousness is true, then Li Yuan vaguely understands... this vast and endless void has more than one divine domain... the interweaving of many divine domains forms a complete universe.

"To be precise, this time the spiritual guidance should be guiding my consciousness to transform into the universe?" Li Yuan calmed down and recalled carefully, while comparing it with the 'Life Star Field' in his own destiny star space.

"Too crude."

"The ultimate concept of the Star God cultivation system is 'the body is like the universe', but compared with the real universe, the gap is too big." Li Yuan sensed the complete scene of the birth and destruction of the universe.

Even with Li Yuan's current ability, he can only remember a little, it is still an incredible experience.

It also fundamentally changed his cognition and vision.

Previously, Li Yuan thought that the "Life Star Field" was extremely perfect, but at this moment he felt that it had too many shortcomings.

“Even the most perfect life form in the demigod realm is far from enough.” Li Yuan said secretly.

The demigod awakening star veins and life stars are the foundation.

The subsequent virtual gods, true gods, heavenly gods... all continued to evolve on this basis, evolving their divine bodies step by step towards higher levels.

This is also the supreme pursuit of the God King of Life in creating the "Cosmic Divine Body" - the Cosmic Divine Body.

but!

What is the universe like? No one knows!
Even the 'Life Star Field' with ten perfect star veins only forms a rudimentary structure in the life space, similar to the star field between heaven and earth.

"But now, I have an idea, and I will be able to walk the next path more clearly." Li Yuan has somewhat understood the significance of the fifth spiritual guidance.

It is a commanding view.

It was like lighting a bright lamp for Li Yuan in the endless darkness, illuminating the road ahead.

"The first four spiritual guidances helped me achieve the 'Perfect Ten Star Veins'."

"The fifth spiritual guidance guided me to truly become 'the body is like the universe.'" Li Yuan understood how great this opportunity was.

It may not seem to be of much direct help, but it lays the most solid foundation for the future.

Li Yuan also felt the terror of Emperor Xinmeng once again.

How extraordinary is this method of guiding the younger generation? No wonder he is the oldest God Emperor in his hometown.

"but."

"Leading and sensing the evolution of the universe, is this really the method of the God Emperor?" Li Yuan realized: "Or is it that the Mind Palace is just a medium, and it is actually the palace where my consciousness landed that is guiding it?"

These are all mysteries.

I can only wait until the future, when I have the chance to meet the Emperor of Heart and Dream, and then ask him.

"but."

"I have already mastered the introductory chapter of the Cosmic Divine Body." Li Yuan looked around and felt a little puzzled: "Logically, they should let me go."

Li Yuan was just about to shout.

suddenly.

"Buzz~" Silently, a seed-shaped object emitting emerald green light appeared in front of Li Yuan.

Its surface is engraved with countless intricate and secret patterns, emitting a vast fluctuation of the Tao.

This fluctuation transcends the seven laws and seems to transcend space... This is the Tao that transcends the rules of heaven and earth.

call out!call out!call out!
Wisps of breath emerged from all directions, forming streams of air that connected to the emerald green seed-shaped object, as if nourishing it and making the breath it exuded even more powerful.

"This?" Li Yuan stared at the scene in a daze.

His eyes fell on the emerald green seed-shaped object…endless desire suddenly surged in his heart.

Devour it!
Devour it!
Devour it!
...Desire surged from deep within Li Yuan's soul, just as if a starving person suddenly smelled the aroma of meat. He almost lost all reason and only thought about eating.

Li Yuan's desire was thousands of times greater than his appetite, and he could hardly control himself.

"Something's wrong!"

"No!" How powerful is Li Yuan's soul will? It is infinitely close to the gods, and how high is his vision now?

Treasure!

In an instant, Li Yuan determined that this object that looked like a 'seed' was definitely an incredible treasure, and it should be related to the 'path of life'.

"The Dao patterns on the surface of the object are probably the Dao patterns of the 'Path of Life' opened up by the God of Life. Was this left behind by the God of Life?" Li Yuan is not stupid.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he had already thought of one possibility - he had been cheated!

I was deceived by Palace Master Si Wu.

"The inheritance of the Life God King that I have come to accept is definitely not a normal inheritance. The Cosmic Divine Body is definitely the most core and unique skill of the Pantheon. How could it be easily passed on to me?"

"This treasure is probably the treasure that the Life King left behind as mentioned by Palace Master Si Wu. It has the potential to change the fate of the Pantheon... Palace Master Si Wu still chose to give it to me?"

"It can only be obtained after practicing to the entry level of 'Cosmic Divine Body'?" Li Yuan's guess in an instant was close to the truth.

He instinctively wanted to refuse!
Because Li Yuan knew very well that this was the only hope for the revival of the Pantheon. Once it was given to him, it would play a great role for him, but it would destroy the hope of the Pantheon... This was what Li Yuan did not want to see.

"Master Si Wu!"

"Tree spirit!" Li Yuan stared at the seed with a slightly distorted look on his face, and he let out a series of low roars.

Li Yuan was unwilling and tried his best to resist.

If his willpower was a little weaker, he would probably not be able to help but release the source of his energy space to devour and refine this life treasure.

……

When that green seed appeared in the inheritance space.

The divine world of life, outside the world tree.

In a palace.

"Master Si Wu." An old voice sounded, revealing a hint of fatigue.

"Tree spirit?" Hall Master Si Wu, who had been waiting here, opened his eyes.

Two hundred years is a long time that cannot be ignored even for a true God.

The Fifth Chief Hall Master looked even older.

"The Seven Star Demigod has achieved success and has begun practicing the Cosmic Divine Body." The tree spirit transmitted the message: "Now, the Inheritor has completely activated the Source Seed and integrated it into the Source Seed... The Inheritor has been annihilated."

The Fifth Chief of the Division was stunned.

Of course he knew about the Inheritor, and he also knew that the Inheritor was actually the spirit of the 'Source Seed', the most precious treasure left by the God of Life.

Met each other several times.

The inheritor has always been proud.

But Chief Hall Master Si Wu did not expect that the other party would be so straightforward and annihilate his own consciousness.

"The spirit of the source seed was born to fully activate the source seed one day." The Fifth Palace Master said softly: "The inheritance envoy may have annihilated his consciousness with joy."

"indeed so."

“But now we are in trouble.” The tree spirit said: “The Seven Star Demigod actually resisted the temptation of the source seed and was unwilling to devour and refine it.”

"What? Don't want to?"

A trace of shock flashed across the eyes of the Fifth Palace Master. "How can a demigod like him resist the instinctive temptation brought by the 'Source Seed'? How strong is his will?"

Notice.

As the current chief hall master of the Pantheon, Hall Master Si Wu had seen the true form of the source seed once and knew very well what an incredible treasure it was... Even someone as powerful as him almost lost his mind.

How could a demigod bear it?

"Correct!"

"Not only did he hold on, but he was also able to remain conscious." The tree spirit said in a low voice, "His willpower is so strong that even if it's not as strong as a god's, it's probably very close."

"I can't force him to refine it."

"I would like you to talk to him." The tree spirit said, "There is no time to delay. This source seed must be refined as soon as possible... Otherwise, I am afraid that it will fail at the last minute."

"After all, the source seed has been completely activated."

"Okay!" Palace Master Si Wu also knew that the situation was urgent. This plan was originally made by him.

……

In the inheritance hall.

The green seed-shaped object was suspended, and the aura it emitted was getting stronger and stronger, but Li Yuan was still struggling to hold on, trying his best to suppress the desire deep in his heart. Suddenly.

Crash~ A large amount of light and shadow gathered and quickly formed the appearance of Palace Master Si Wu. He also saw the 'source seed' at a glance, but fortunately it was just a projection of consciousness and had little impact.

Li Yuan immediately turned to look at Palace Master Si Wu, his expression barely remaining normal.

"Grand Palace Master, you lied to me." Li Yuan said.

"Seven Stars Brothers." The Fifth Palace Master had a trace of anxiety and apology on his face: "I lied to you about this matter, but I can't take it for granted. This thing is called 'Source Seed', and it is indeed a treasure left by the God of Life."

"I understand what you are thinking, Brother Qixing."

"but!"

"This is not only my decision, but also the will of the tree spirit and the source seed itself." Palace Master Si Wu said solemnly, looking at Li Yuan: "We all hope that you can refine the source seed."

"In your hands, the source seed can reveal its true power. It is the best match for the Cosmic Divine Body."

“The God King of Life once said that one must practice the ‘Cosmic Divine Body’ in order to refine the source seed. But you have just succeeded in your practice, and you should know how low the probability is for the strong people in our world to give birth to such a peerless genius in the coming years.” Palace Master Si Wu said hurriedly.

Li Yuan fell into deep thought.

indeed!

If a demigod wants to practice the "Cosmic Divine Body", he may need ten star veins to have a hope of getting started.

Nine Star Veins Demigod? At least Li Yuan, who was at the Nine Star Veins stage, had spent two hundred years trying but still failed to do so.

"Rather than being destroyed together in the end."

"I might as well give it to you!"

"Moreover, the source seed had been dormant in the seal of the Life God King in the past. Now it has completely awakened. With our ability, we cannot make it fall asleep again." The Lord of the Fifth Palace said: "If you don't refine it, it will be a complete waste of this treasure... and it will be of no use to us."

"But I..." Li Yuan said in a low voice.

"The current situation is that we tricked you into doing it by force, and it has nothing to do with you." Palace Master Si Wu said in a low voice: "So, you can just concentrate on refining it, and don't have to feel pressured. After the fusion and refining are completed, you can go directly back to your hometown divine domain."

The words of Palace Master Si Wu were all meant to help Li Yuan relieve the final psychological burden.

When the two communicated.

"Buzz~Buzz~" The aura emitted by the emerald green seed was even more terrifying, as if it was about to break free from its restraints and fly into the sky.

It was clearly a critical moment.

"Seven Star Brothers."

"The path of cultivation is to fight against the heavens, why bother?"

“Don’t hesitate, don’t waste the efforts of the Life God King.” Palace Master Si Wu said anxiously: “If you really feel burdened, then wait until you become a God King or even a God Emperor in the future, and then find a way to help us.”

"The God Emperor of your hometown can send you here."

"The Immortal Ancestor can come."

"Don't tell me, you can't come to our world again in the future?" Palace Master Si Wu stared at Li Yuan: "Do you really want us to kneel down and beg you?"

Li Yuan gritted his teeth, and finally thought it through, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I accept it."

Li Yuan understood.

Now that things have come to this, if I still refuse to accept it, I would be a pedantic person.

All rewards can only wait until the future.

"Refining!"

Li Yuan no longer resisted himself, and took a step forward and rushed to the front of the emerald green seed. Just as he raised his finger to touch the emerald green seed... in an instant, it flew into Li Yuan's source power space.

"boom!"

The emerald green seed appeared in the source space, and instantly it seemed to release countless invisible tentacles, penetrating into every part of the source space, and also directly penetrating into the Life Fire Source Pill...

Immediately, it began to devour Li Yuan's source of power madly.

"This?" Li Yuan was shocked. He felt that the pure energy he cultivated was being devoured and absorbed like a dam bursting...

even!
At this moment, Li Yuan's body seemed to have formed a giant glutton, and began to frantically devour the energy traveling in the inheritance hall, and was then devoured by the green seed...

"What is this so-called source seed?"

"So mysterious." Li Yuan was shocked. He had just communicated with Palace Master Si Wu and had no time to ask for details.

But the Fifth Palace Master Si, who was projecting his consciousness, breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, he is willing to bear the refining."

"Seven Star Demigods."

"Don't absorb the source power, don't even absorb the divine crystal." An old voice sounded: "Absorb the 'World Tree Origin Essence' I provide to you."

"The first growth of the source seed! It must absorb enough pure power. Only the essence of the world tree can lay the best foundation for it and become your best helper."

It's the voice of the tree spirit.

follow closely.

Chi, chi, chi~ A stream of pure and incredible power immediately passed through the four walls of the hall and instantly reached Li Yuan's body surface.

"Absorb!" Li Yuan was not a procrastinating person. He activated the ten star veins and madly devoured this pure power.

"The essence of the world tree?" Li Yuan felt the special power.

"Chichi~"

As soon as the 'source seed' in the source space absorbed the essence of the world tree, it immediately became brighter...

But it itself is like a bottomless pit.

It keeps swallowing, but the aura emitted by the source seed doesn't change much... The birth of the source seed seems to take an extremely long time.

"How long will it take to devour?" Li Yuan felt puzzled. He could only feel that his connection with this source seed seemed to be getting closer and closer.

"Seven Star Demigods."

"Be patient and wait. According to the message left by the God of Life, if you want to perfectly integrate the source seed with your source power space and cultivate it to its peak for the first time, it will probably take about nine years. Don't be in a hurry..." The voice of the tree spirit sounded.

Nine years?

Li Yuan nodded slightly. He had been in this world for more than 200 years, so he didn't mind waiting another nine years.

"The laws of space."

While Li Yuan was operating the star veins, he also focused most of his energy on comprehending the laws of space.

"Ten mysteries."

"The foundation of the world." Li Yuan pondered silently. After hundreds of years of practice, he felt that he could comprehend the 'direction of the world' to a higher level at any time, but he had reached a bottleneck.

The fifth spiritual guidance and the experience of traveling around the universe further loosened this bottleneck.

Once you break through, you will be at the tenth level! It will be comparable to the realm of the gods.

……

Time flies and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Wow~wow~wow~"

The towering World Tree, which was a million kilometers tall, suddenly began to show waves of astonishing movement, which were then followed by impacts in all directions.

moment.

A large number of demigods and virtual gods who had lived in the World Tree for a long time were suppressed, and their minds were slightly shaken.

Notice.

The original power of the World Tree is far beyond that of the gods, so it can suppress the entire world of life. However, its origin is close to the world and cannot be mobilized... But once it erupts, its power is incomparably terrifying.

Those demigods and virtual gods were injured almost at the same time.

"what happened?"

"What happened to the holy tree?" Not only the demigods and false gods, but also the many true gods who had been stationed at the World Tree for a long time were shocked.

The true gods are extremely powerful, and their perception abilities far exceed those of demigods and false gods.

"Why do I feel that the aura of the World Tree has changed a little?"

"You felt it too? Me too!"

"It seems that the holy tree has become a little old." Many true gods noticed this.

A huge amount of original essence is consumed in a short period of time, which is difficult to make up even for a powerful and majestic being like the World Tree.

Wow!
The Lord of the Fifth Palace appeared.

"Grand Palace Master." Many true gods saluted respectfully.

"The Holy Tree is undergoing a special transformation." The Fifth Palace Master said indifferently, "Pass the order down. Except for the Elder Palace Master, all gods and demigods must temporarily leave the Holy Tree."

"Yes." Everyone obeyed respectfully.

Shortly after.

The entire center area of ​​the World Tree has become empty.

"Source seed!"

"They are actually consuming so much? They are consuming too fast." Palace Master Si Wu had a trace of worry in his eyes: "Even the three-source essence of the World Tree is not enough?"

"If we swallow it again, it will cause irreversible damage to the origin of the World Tree. The World Tree is already old."

long years.

Not only are the trees of life approaching their end and collapsing, but the world tree is also doing the same.

The other trees of life only affect one life fountain world.

But the World Tree affects the entire Wanquan Void...if the World Tree collapses completely.

Palace Master Si Wu simply couldn't bear to think about it.

"I hope everything goes well." Palace Master Si Wu also knew that once the source seed was activated, it must not be stopped, otherwise the consequences would be more serious.

……

The impact of the decline of the World Tree is extremely far-reaching.

Nine thousand worlds, heavenly realm.

The Hongguang Palace, which is composed of countless palaces, suddenly shone brightly today, and the bright light illuminated the vast heaven and earth.

Not only the Hongguang Palace, but also the other six Taoist palaces in the heavens were also bursting with brilliant light one after another.

moment.

All the Heavenly Lords in the seven great Dao Courts knew that the seven great Dao Ancestors had returned at the same time.

Not long after, inside Hongguang Palace.

Eighteen Heavenly Lords emitting powerful auras, along with the Fire Fighting Heavenly Emperor, arrived here at the same time.

"Greetings to the Taoist Ancestor." Nineteen powerful men stood in the palace and saluted respectfully.

On the high jade platform, an old man in a green robe was sitting cross-legged. His aura was ethereal and vast, as if he was the incarnation of the law, mysterious and unpredictable.

He is the Taoist Ancestor Hongguang.

The supreme ruler of Hongguang Daoting.

"Fire fight." The voice of Taoist Hongguang was vague, without any joy or sadness.

"Daozu." Huodou Tiandi trembled in his heart and knelt down respectfully.

"We seven Dao ancestors are all aware of this matter. That 'Seven Star Virtual God' is a great threat. His origin is special. I will not blame you for the time being." Dao Ancestor Hongguang said slowly: "Right now, the Pantheon has encountered a big problem."

"The origin of the Ten Thousand Springs Void is rapidly weakening. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Pass the order."

"Mobilize all the Taoist Celestial Immortals and True Immortals to attack the Wanquan Void."

"In this battle, a hundred thousand celestial beings from the seven great Dao Courts will gather together and will definitely destroy the Ten Thousand Springs Void in one fell swoop."
