Chapter 662: A Reunion After Hundreds Of Years (1)

"Greetings, Grandmaster," Wu Yuan said respectfully.

"Fifth-stage Earth Immortal? It seems you haven\'t slacked in your mana cultivation these past few years," Immortal Sovereign Bei You glanced at Wu Yuan.

"The Spacetime Dao Realm is fraught with dangers. I dared not be negligent, and aimed to raise my strength to its current limit as quickly as possible," Wu Yuan replied earnestly.

Even with divine crystal elixir, it would take ten years to reach the ninth-stage Earth Immortal phase. In these three years, Wu Yuan had not been idle, yet he had only just reached the fifth stage.

"Mm. The Spacetime Dao Realm is indeed perilous. Your cultivation training there could range from several thousand years to tens of thousands, possibly even more," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said.

"Of course, you may cultivate there for a maximum of a hundred thousand years. When you return, you may well be among the top-tier of High Immortals."

Wu Yuan listened attentively.

So, the maximum cultivation period allowed in the Spacetime Dao Realm was a hundred thousand years.

"As I mentioned before, I will give you some life-saving treasures and artifacts before you depart for the Spacetime Dao Realm," Immortal Sovereign Bei You looked down at Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan\'s heart stirred slightly.

"First, a batch of special minerals that will help you upgrade your lifebound flying swords along the optimal evolution pathway," Immortal Sovereign Bei You waved his hand.

Two storage artifacts flew out, landing directly in front of Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan was delighted. Gifts from an Immortal Sovereign were indeed extraordinary.

His greatest concern at the moment had been obtaining the numerous treasures and divine crystals to upgrade his lifebound flying swords. He never imagined the Immortal Sovereign would give them to him directly.

"Of course, if I were to help you upgrade all your lifebound flying swords so easily, it would defeat the purpose of tempering you," Immortal Sovereign Bei You continued.

"Of these two storage artifacts, you can open the first one now. It should be enough to transform one of your lifebound flying swords into low-grade celestial equipment, but only one. As for the other eight lifebound flying swords, you\'ll have to rely on your own efforts."

One? Low-grade celestial equipment?

Wu Yuan was quite pleased. This meant the treasures in this storage artifact were worth over a million divine crystals.

"As for the second storage artifact, I\'ve sealed it. You may only open it when you reach the Tribulation phase. Consider it a gift from your Grandmaster to celebrate your ascension to High Immortal," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said.

"Understood," Wu Yuan nodded.

He was well aware that the transition to High Immortal or High Eldritch was the most crucial stage in a peerless genius\'s growth. Thus, when nurturing talents, major factions would bestow large quantities of treasures, and even the elders of one\'s sect were no exception. And this bestowal was often the last one.

"As a sword cultivator, you excel in combat and have gained insights into Greater Laws like Life and Space, making you adept in life preservation. You also possess some other treasures, but still lack a truly unparalleled life-saving measure," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said.

"As you are now, forget an Astral Monarch; even if you encounter some formidable Archimmortals, you\'d be powerless to resist."

Wu Yuan nodded in agreement.

Indeed, an Archimmortal could easily suppress him with a wave of their hand.

"Therefore, I\'ve specially prepared an artifact for you. Come closer," Immortal Sovereign Bei You instructed.

Wu Yuan stepped forward.

Immortal Sovereign Bei You pointed from afar, and a stream of light flew out, entering Wu Yuan\'s body. Following that, specks of spiritual light seeped into his soul.

This? A flicker of astonishment passed through Wu Yuan\'s eyes.

He could feel what seemed to be a latent power permeating his Voidspace. He could summon it at will, with a mere thought.

"This object is called Nine Firmaments In A Thought, a talisman artifact of sorts," Immortal Sovereign Bei You explained. "Its power lies dormant in your body, with its source concealed in the core of your soul\'s Voidspace.

When faced with any danger, as long as it\'s not an Astral Monarch who has perfectly mastered Time Stop or True Domain Continuum, you can escape with a single thought," Immortal Sovereign Bei You continued.

"It will instantly teleport you over an unfathomably vast distance, and once you flee, it will erase your spacetime traces. It might not work on a Sovereign of Space or the even rarer Sovereign of Time, but Sovereigns who have comprehended other Greater Laws won\'t be able to find you."

"Thank you, Grandmaster," Wu Yuan\'s heart surged with excitement.

Nine Firmaments In A Thought? With it, he could escape from the vast majority of Astral Monarchs, and once he fled, most Sovereigns couldn\'t catch up. It was undoubtedly a heaven-defying life-saving treasure.

The ultimate value of this life-saving measure depended on how he used it. If Wu Yuan were to use it to escape from an Archimmortal or Astral Lord, it would be somewhat wasteful. But if used on an Astral Monarch, it would be worth it. Regardless of how it was used, it was practically equivalent to an extra life!

What Wu Yuan didn\'t know was that even for someone as powerful as Immortal Sovereign Bei You, crafting such a stable talisman artifact was no easy feat and had taken considerable effort.

"Don’t forget, you can only use it once, so don\'t grow arrogant and reckless, thinking you can act with impunity because of this treasure," Immortal Sovereign Bei You warned him. "The Spacetime Dao Realm is mysterious; there might be individuals there with backgrounds no less impressive than yours."

"Understood," Wu Yuan said solemnly.

He could feel Immortal Sovereign Bei You\'s care and concern for him. Though nominally a grand-disciple, the level of attention he was receiving was no less than that of a direct disciple, perhaps even more.

Things like the Dao Master Imprint and Nine Firmaments In A Thought were probably not items Immortal Sovereign Bei You could casually produce.

Wu Yuan naturally etched this kindness deep in his heart.

"Alright, you may go," Immortal Sovereign Bei You seemed unwilling to say more. With a wave of his hand, an invisible wave enveloped Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan vanished from the divine hall.

"Master, this little one is still quite young. Are you sure about sending him to the Spacetime Dao Realm now?" A deep voice resonated.

"The old master\'s territory isn\'t easy to navigate. The geniuses there come from various macrocosms, and some are even super geniuses from other rivers of space and time.

Although Ming Jian\'s talent is great, his cultivation time is too short. I fear he might perish during his struggles there."

"Of course I know this.” Immortal Sovereign Bei You\'s gaze grew dark as he calmly replied, "But with his level of talent, if he doesn\'t weather storms and undergo trials, continuing to linger in the Immortal Belvedere like this, I fear we\'ll squander his potential.

How can it be easy to become a Sovereign in one leap?"

"Master... the realm created by the Dao Master is indeed extraordinary. Moreover, according to the Divine Master, the next opening of the Megaverse Crossroads is not far off. If he cultivates systematically, he might miss it," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said. “The Crossroads is an opportunity that hardly comes by."

"The Megaverse Crossroads?" The deep voice was shocked. "Doesn\'t that mean another era is about to..."

"Indeed. Ripples have appeared, and under the convergence of destiny, the emergence and rise of the powerful have never been linear. It\'s like the tides when rivers and seas meet – after a trough comes a peak. Another great era is approaching, and batches of geniuses are constantly emerging and rising to power throughout the entire river of space and time.

Take Zhuo Haiyue from our divine court headquarters, who’s also from our Greenridge Macrocosm. Before heading to the headquarters, she wasn\'t particularly outstanding, but she has just cleared level one hundred of the three-star tower. In terms of brilliance and rate of progress, she\'s no worse than Ming Jian.

Moreover, judging by her progress over the past two hundred years, there’s a trend of accelerating improvement, which is truly inconceivable.

In top-tier factions like the Immortal Court, Eldritch Court, and Desolation Divine Court, there have been constant reports of monstrous prodigies, many of whom have cultivated for tens or hundreds of thousands of years. Heh, every time before and after the Megaverse Crossroads opens, it\'s a time of turmoil in the endless river of space and time... an era of great contention.

The birth and rise of Ming Jian might also be a kind of karmic convergence under the inscrutable workings of destiny.

Let\'s observe. Whether he rises against the odds to become a Sovereign, breaking the shackles of heaven and earth, or falls midway, reduced to blood and bones on the crossroads, depends on him," Immortal Sovereign Bei You gently closed his eyes.

...

Whoosh! Wu Yuan felt a slight spatial tremor, followed by a flash of light. As the surrounding scenery solidified, he found himself on a vast plaza.

Several dozen figures stood to one side of the plaza, each exuding an extraordinary aura.

Wu Yuan\'s gaze swept across them, instantly discerning that these individuals were either Earth Immortals or High Immortals, though there were also several body refiner High Deities.

Their appearances and attire varied greatly, but Wu Yuan immediately recognized two familiar faces. Perhaps \'familiar\' was an overstatement, but he had at least seen them before.

"Ming Jian!"

"It\'s Senior Uncle Ming Jian." Two unremarkable Earth Immortals, a man and a woman, revealed surprised expressions and immediately flew towards Wu Yuan, greeting him.

"Pei Shi, Hua Zhu," Wu Yuan smiled, returning their greetings.

These two were Earth Immortals who had once cultivated at the Immortal Belvedere. Both were brilliant geniuses and quite powerful among those at the Immortal Belvedere.

They had both comprehended an Intermediate Law of Space to the seventh-level True Intent stage or above, marking them as peerless geniuses.

In terms of their comprehension of the Space Dao, they were both stronger than Wu Yuan, though of course, they had been cultivating for longer. Pei Shi, for instance, had been cultivating for over six thousand years, and Hua Zhu for more than ten thousand years.

At the Immortal Belvedere, Wu Yuan hadn\'t interacted much with the two, but they were all part of the Bei You lineage. Now that they had met once more in a foreign land, they naturally shared a sense of familiarity.

"Ming Jian?"

"Is that Ming Jian?" The voices of Pei Shi and Hua Zhu immediately sparked a series of exclamations.

"Fifth-stage Earth Immortal? Or sixth? Such a high cultivation level."

"He\'s only been cultivating for a few hundred years, right?"

"He’s venturing to the Spacetime Dao Realm at such a young age? How brave." The group of Earth Immortals and High Immortals, who had initially paid little attention to them, couldn\'t resist looking over. They were quite shocked.

The name Ming Jian might not have resounded throughout the entire Greenridge Macrocosm over the last few hundred years, but it was at least well-known among the upper echelons of the Eternal Sun Immortal World.

Many vaguely hinted that he was the top genius of the macrocosm. Even though he was still very young, who would dare to underestimate him?

"Just call me Ming Jian, no need for \'Senior Uncle,\'" Wu Yuan smiled.

That was fine for ordinary disciples of the Bei You lineage. But these two before him had the potential to become Astral Lords in the future.

"Haha, Uncle Ming Jian, you\'re too kind," Hua Zhu, whose appearance was quite attractive, laughed. "We have a group of fellow disciples here. Come, Senior Uncle, let me introduce you to them."

"Oh?" Wu Yuan looked over.

"Senior Uncle Ming Jian."

"Grand Senior Uncle."

"Ancestor." More than ten Earth Immortals and High Immortals standing in the distance flew over, each bowing to Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan blinked, a little taken aback.

Soon, through their conversations, Wu Yuan understood that the nearly thirty people present were a group of peerless geniuses from the Eternal Sun Immortal World who were about to journey to the Spacetime Dao Realm.

To travel to the Spacetime Dao Realm, one had to be an Earth Immortal at least, and deeply comprehend either the Law of Space or the Law of Time.

Of course, ninety-nine percent of those going had comprehended the Law of Space. Comprehending the Law of Time? Those who could do so were far too rare.
