Chapter 1106 Gathering of the Supremes
"But no matter what, let's go and see. If any new fellow Daoists appear, we can also go and meet them, inform them of the impending crisis, and some matters concerning the Supreme Realm." The Supreme who wielded the power of time stood up and began his journey towards Yunhua.
Within the chaotic origin of the universe, Yunhua continues to devour massive amounts of power, filling his inner world.
"Huh!?" But just then, he suddenly sensed a mysterious fluctuation slowly approaching him from not far ahead.
That is the fluctuation of time.
At this moment, time seemed to transform into a raging demon that could destroy the world at any moment. Even though Yun Hua possessed the supreme-level Dao of Time, he felt that the fluctuations in time ahead were somewhat unpredictable.
However, the time fluctuations soon dissipated, and a figure, as ethereal as a fleeting glimpse of a swan, approached him from the distant origin of the chaotic universe.
It was the figure of a woman. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she possessed a special aura, carrying with her a mysterious and vast fluctuation of time.
The once turbulent and unpredictable passage of time became as calm and peaceful as ripples on water around her, without the slightest disturbance.
"Jie Huo greets the Supreme One!" Yun Hua turned to look at the Supreme One who wielded the power of time.
"You... Emperor? Ultimate Emperor?" The female supreme being did not reply, but stared at Yun Hua in shock.
There had been countless speculations before they met, but when the Supreme Being actually saw Yun Hua, he was truly shocked, because at the moment of their meeting, they could both sense each other's cultivation level.
Yunhua could sense the power of the other party's "Ten Thousand Paths of Time Origin," and similarly, this female supreme being could also sense the terror of Yunhua's "Eternal Ultimate Fire Path."
Whether it is the "Origin of All Time" or the "Eternal Ultimate Fire Path", although the paths are different, they stand at the same level.
At that time, all the supreme beings in the universe basically merged with the strongest Dao when they were Dao Lords of Life and Death, and then merged with the Dao to become rulers; after that, they broke through step by step at the level of rulers to become supreme beings.
As for Yunhua's eternal ultimate path, although he is still at the level of an Emperor, in a certain sense, it has indeed reached the same height as the Supreme level.
Of course, they are only the same in height, but in terms of breadth, they are far inferior to the Supreme One.
If Yunhua were to fight the Supreme, Yunhua might not be at a disadvantage in terms of offense and defense, but in some other aspects, Yunhua would definitely not be a match for the Supreme.
“That’s right. I cultivated the ultimate fire path, and after countless hardships, I finally succeeded in merging with the Dao not long ago,” Yunhua said.
"Haha, Tian Shi greets Emperor Jie Huo!!" This female supreme being introduced herself; she was the only female supreme being in the vast and chaotic universe—Tian Shi.
"I never expected this! Our Chaos Universe has quietly given birth to an ultimate emperor! Hahahaha!!" The Celestial Food Supreme was extremely excited.
"Throughout history, there have been many monstrous Dao Lords in the universe who have walked the ultimate path, but without exception, they all fell at the point of merging with the Dao. I never expected that an ultimate Emperor who has finally succeeded in merging with the Dao would appear!!"
"To achieve the Dao is indeed a matter of life and death!" Yunhua said softly.
He recalled the scene of his Dao Integration. He had already saved six years. If all went smoothly, he would only have three years left to integrate the Dao.
But he spent seven years of his life on those three years because there were still some things wrong with his path.
The difficulty of achieving the ultimate path and attaining enlightenment is indeed beyond Yunhua's previous expectations.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist, as the first Ultimate Emperor in our universe, I must quickly inform Hongran, Bolin, and the others!"
The Celestial Food Supreme was quite excited. The power of time around her quickly transformed into a ripple and shot out into the distance.
In the vast and mighty ocean of primordial chaos, in the wooden house where the Celestial Food Supreme had previously resided.
Having received the news, the Supreme Beings, except for those who were unable to leave due to other matters, all appeared here at the same time. Yunhua, who had completed the expansion of the Heart World, was also present.
At this moment, inside the wooden house, there were five Supreme Beings and Yunhua and six others.
Aside from the fact that she already knew the Celestial Food Supreme, Yunhua's gaze fell upon the other four Supremes.
One of them was a bald old man wearing a black robe. He had golden eyes and two fleshy beards that fluttered in the wind.
This is the longest-lived of all the supreme beings, the Supreme Being Hongran, who has mastered the "Origin of All Causes and Effects".
There was also a man dressed in a loose green robe, with a burly build and a pair of curved horns on his head. His eyes were pitch black, like an endless abyss, and he exuded a chilling sense of oppression.
This is also the youngest of all the Supreme Beings, the Supreme Being Erkong who has mastered the "Origin of Destruction of All Paths".
The third one was a man with a full head of white hair and a hint of decadence about him; his aura was strange, as if it lay between life and death, like the origin of all life, or the destination of death.
This supreme being is none other than the Supreme Being Bolin, who has mastered the "Origin of the Myriad Paths Claw". However, the Supreme Being Bolin has been studying life and death for countless years, wanting to master another source of the myriad paths, which is why he possesses this aura of life and death.
The last person was someone who looked extremely noble, as if he were the most perfect being in the world.
This person is none other than the Supreme Emperor Stone, who wields the "Origin of Myriad Illusions." Any cultivator whose Dao heart is not perfect will obediently follow orders and become his slave and puppet simply by standing before him.
With the five supreme beings gathered together, the entire small house was filled with celebration.
"Haha, ultimate supreme being, such an existence has finally appeared in our universe!" Supreme Being Hongran looked at Yunhua and couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't know how long I waited, but finally our civilization has a ruler who has mastered the ultimate way of eternity."
Previously, it was truly unknown when such an emperor would appear. After all, even reaching the fourth level of the ultimate path was extremely rare, and successfully merging with the Dao was even more difficult! Emperor Stone Supreme raised his wine cup, "Fellow Daoist Tribulation Fire, I toast you!"
Yunhua smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with Emperor Stone Supreme's glass, then drank it all in one gulp.
After a few boasts, the Supreme Beings turned serious, exchanged glances, and finally Hongran Supreme Being spoke up: "Jiehuo, you should know that the Sith race has not been truly wiped out yet!"
“Although I’ve never been to the Sith’s territory, I can roughly guess,” Yunhua replied.
"You guessed it!?" The Supreme Beings were taken aback, then nodded. It was normal that they could guess it; in fact, some high-ranking emperors in the Chaos Universe had guessed these things.
After skipping over this topic, Supreme Hongran continued, "Countless years ago, we cultivated without a care in the world. Several of us even reached the Supreme realm one after another. Even if there were conflicts, they were only matters within our cultivator civilization."
“But without any warning, the Sith appeared. Do you know where they came from?” Supreme Hongran looked at Yunhua.
"Even you who have become Supreme Beings don't know where they came from, so there's only one reason: outside the Chaos Universe," Yun Hua said softly. "In fact, when I cultivated to my current level and could freely communicate with the origin of the Chaos Universe, I already knew that the size of the universe is finite."
Chapter 1107 The Path to Supreme Power
“You’re right. The Sith do indeed come from outside our chaotic universe. They come from another chaotic universe in endless space.”
Supreme Hongran said, "In the endless void, there are countless enormous celestial bodies, the largest of which is the Chaos Universe."
"However, the number of chaotic universes is very small, only a handful. Once an emperor who cultivates the ultimate path becomes the ultimate supreme being, then he will be qualified to refine the chaotic universe, become the controller of the chaotic universe, and thus control the power of the entire chaotic universe."
As he spoke, Supreme Hongran looked at Yunhua: "Look at the vast and boundless origin of this chaotic universe, you should know just how powerful the controller of the chaotic universe truly is."
Yun Hua nodded slightly. After entering the origin of the chaotic universe, he knew that any one of the origins in the origin of the chaotic universe was infinite. Even if all the people in this room were combined, they would not be as powerful as any one of the origins.
Supreme Hongran continued, "The Sith race comes from another chaotic universe. That chaotic universe has a supreme ruler, so their cultivation civilization is very advanced, and their various methods are mysterious and unpredictable. But since a chaotic universe has a ruler, it is impossible for a second one to be born."
"So the Sith invaded our chaotic universe, wanting to control us. Of course, because they are alien life forms, they are suppressed in our universe and are significantly weaker than us; that's why we were able to barely defeat them in that war."
“But once they gain control of our Chaos Universe, they will reshape the entire environment to suit their needs. At that point, all of us will die. This is a battle for survival; we cannot back down.” Supreme Hongran looked at Yunhua.
"So, you hope that I will cultivate to the ultimate supreme level, and then refine the universe to prevent the Sith from attacking again?" Yunhua asked.
"Jiehuo, it seems you already have a concept of the situation in our universe. That's enough for you. I won't say anything more."
Whether our cultivator civilization can achieve true freedom depends on you, after all, you are the only ultimate emperor of our civilization.” Supreme Hongran concluded.
“Indeed, the future of our cultivator civilization depends on you!” The other supreme beings also spoke up.
Yunhua said, "I will not take the life and death of countless beings in the entire chaotic universe lightly, but advancing to the Supreme level is not something that can be done casually. I hope that you can pass on some of your insights and tips on advancing to the Supreme level to me."
This is the most important reason why he came to meet so many supreme beings.
He had read about the Dao of the Supreme Being in the Blue Flower Cave and knew how he advanced to the Supreme Being level. His journey can serve as a reference.
But he wanted to know more about how other Supreme Beings had successfully advanced, and how they had taken those steps to achieve the highest status.
"Of course, we will not hide our insights into becoming Supreme from you. The sooner you become the ultimate Supreme, the safer our chaotic universe will be!" Supreme Celestial Food stated first.
“Not bad!” The other supreme beings also nodded in agreement.
Within the origin of the chaotic universe.
"Jie Huo, do you know what a Supreme is? Tell me your understanding of the Supreme realm!" Just as Yun Hua was asking many Supremes about the Dao of the Supreme, Supreme Hong Ran suddenly asked.
Yunhua said, "In my opinion, the so-called supreme being is one who elevates their own Dao to the level of 'one Dao gives rise to ten thousand Daos,' that is the supreme being."
In that instant, Yunhua thought of the Heavenly Heart Mark of the Shrouding the Heavens world.
In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, after a Great Emperor attains the Dao, something called the Heavenly Heart Mark will appear. When a Great Emperor attains the Dao, one Dao suppresses ten thousand Daos. Afterwards, his body merges with the Heavenly Heart Mark, and only then is he a complete Great Emperor.
Back then, the emperor could casually unleash a myriad of powers, containing incredible might.
In fact, to some extent, the Great Emperors of the Shrouding the Heavens world already possessed some of the concepts and prototypes of supreme beings in the primordial chaos universe.
Of course, the emperors of the Shrouding the Heavens world are far from comparable to the supreme beings of the primordial chaos universe.
Although the Great Emperors possessed the power to suppress all other paths and were in harmony with the will of Heaven, their own Dao did not reach the level of "one Dao giving rise to ten thousand other paths." As long as they lost the imprint of the will of Heaven or went to other universes, their strength would weaken.
"One path gives rise to ten thousand paths; this is indeed an ability possessed only by supreme beings, like this." Supreme Being Hongran smiled and stretched out his hand. Instantly, seemingly endless threads coiled around his palm, some twisting and winding out, then transforming into flames, frost, lightning, and sword energy...
Supreme Lord Hongran was covering up for Yunhua his own "One Path Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Paths".
“I cultivate the Way of Cause and Effect, so this is my One Path giving rise to Myriad Paths. But do you think that if someone cultivates to this level through the same Way of Cause and Effect, their One Path giving rise to Myriad Paths will be the same as mine?” Supreme Hongran looked at Yunhua.
Yunhua said, "Your path of cause and effect is not the ultimate path. So even if there are other cultivators who have reached the supreme level through the path of cause and effect, their path of cause and effect may not be the same as yours."
He paused and continued, "As far as I know, the ultimate paths are all the same. If someone cultivates the ultimate fire path and successfully merges with it, then my path and his will be exactly the same. At most, the only difference will be the method of use due to differences in personality and habits. That's all."
The Celestial Food Supreme, standing to the side, chuckled and said, “What you said is indeed correct. The ultimate path is indeed the same at the Eternal Emperor stage, but as you yourself said, everyone’s personality and habits are different, so there are differences in how they use the ultimate path. And these differences will be further amplified when one becomes a Supreme.”
"In other words, even if it's the same Dao, there will be differences after advancing to the Supreme level," Supreme Bolin said with a smile.
“Look at me. Although I have mastered the ‘Origin of the Myriad Claws’, my research on life and death is already very profound. No one among the Supremes has surpassed me in this aspect. So even if someone were to advance to the Supreme level in the same way as me, there would still be a great difference between him and me.”
"Our method to break through to the Supreme Realm is to continuously elevate other Daos to the Dominator level. Then, through the accumulation of knowledge and experience, we will naturally comprehend the principle that one Dao gives rise to ten thousand Daos, and at that time, we will become Supreme."
The Supreme Being Erkon also spoke up, "However, your ultimate path to eternity may be somewhat different from what we imagine."
“Your Eternal Ultimate Path is already comparable to our Supreme Path. What you should do is not to accumulate strength and unleash it like us, but you may need to integrate those paths into your Eternal Ultimate Path. Perhaps then you can advance to the Supreme Ultimate Path,” Emperor Stone Supreme also said.
"However, regardless of the circumstances, let's show you our path first!" As Supreme Hongran spoke, a crystalline divine thought flew out from between his brows and landed in front of Yunhua.
Not only Hongran Supreme, but the other four Supremes also took out a divine thought of their own and flew to Yunhua's side.
In an instant, five bright and dazzling stars seemed to appear around Yunhua. Each star contained the Dao of the Supreme, or even the Supreme Divine Thoughts that the Supreme had comprehended when he advanced to the Supreme level.
Yunhua immediately sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the thoughts of these supreme deities one by one.
Chapter 1108 Unlocking the Eternal Heart's Restriction
Each supreme divine thought was like a completely new world. Yunhua followed the information in the supreme divine thoughts and observed each supreme being's interpretation and outcome of their own Great Dao.
Within each supreme divine thought, Yunhua seemed to have experienced hundreds of millions of years, but in reality, it was only a moment.
When all five supreme divine thoughts were exhausted, only an hour had passed in the outside world.
Having fully digested and absorbed the five Supreme Beings' understanding of the Supreme Path and "One Path gives rise to ten thousand paths," Yunhua himself also gained a completely new understanding of the Supreme Realm.
"So that's how it is! So this is the Supreme Being!" Yunhua had already understood many things, especially the Dao of the Supreme Being, which gave him a completely new understanding of the way and result of his own Eternal Ultimate Dao advancing to the Supreme Being.
"This is somewhat similar to the Immortal Emperor's Technique, but it is also clearly different from it," Yun Hua pondered for a moment, thinking to himself.
To advance from the Eternal Ultimate Path to the Supreme Ultimate Path, one must first upgrade countless other paths to the Dominator level, and then gradually integrate them into one's own Eternal Ultimate Path.
The eternal and ultimate path is like a vast ocean, encompassing all rivers.
However, the rivers the sea carries are all different, and thus the seawater itself varies. This is actually the difference between the various supreme ultimate paths, and it is something that is completely different for every cultivator.
"The ultimate path to supreme power is probably equivalent to half of the Immortal Emperor's Law. This deduction process will be of great reference value to me in the future when I deduce and improve the Immortal Emperor's Law!" This thought couldn't help but come to Yunhua's mind.
After the Immortal Emperor Law was deduced, there was actually a process of improvement. Only after the Immortal Emperor Law was truly perfected could one be considered to have truly and firmly stood at the level of the Immortal Emperor.
The perfection of the Desolate Emperor was the result of countless drops of blood working together over the course of time.
Without this process, who knows how long it would have taken him to perfect the Immortal Emperor's Law.
"Deducing the ultimate path of the supreme should greatly promote my future research on the Immortal Emperor's Law, and may even save countless hours."
The more Yunhua thought about it, the more she felt that the Dao of this world was of great benefit to her.
"However, the most pressing issue is still the affairs of this world."
Upon realizing this, Yunhua immediately looked at the several Supreme Beings and said, "I beg you Supreme Beings to keep my attainment of the Eternal Ultimate Path a secret!"
"Keep it a secret? Are you afraid the Sith will ambush you?" The Celestial Food Supreme frowned slightly.
According to her idea, Yunhua should first take out his own Eternal Ultimate Path and then use it to cultivate other geniuses in the Chaos Universe. Only when there are more Eternal Ultimate Emperors in the future will their universe be truly powerful, and then they will no longer be afraid of the Sith race.
But Yunhua's actions puzzled her.
Yun Hua said, "Even cultivators from our own universe need at least an Ultimate Supreme to refine the origin of the Chaos Universe. The difficulty for the Sith race to refine it is no less than ours. So do you think that since the Sith race dared to invade our place, there must be an Ultimate Supreme among them?"
"Ultimate Supreme!?" The other Supremes were initially startled, but quickly fell silent.
