Chapter 623: Realm 571 Three

Tian Xuanzi...

When Li Chengyi saw the other party, his brain buzzed in a moment.

An immense volume of information surged into his mind. Merely from looking at and perceiving the other’s presence, he felt as if he had instantaneously received enough information to explode the mind of an ordinary person.

His body quickly initiated its automatic protection mechanism, and his Consciousness Power swiftly became nebulous, refraining from closely probing the form and information of the other.

To Li Chengyi’s eyes, the figure of Taoist Tian Xuanzi rapidly blurred into a plainly dressed, white-robed elder.

"Disciple Bailu pays respect to the Ancestor!" Li Chengyi quickly regained his senses and bowed respectfully with a clasped fist.

The existence of the other was like a fog, not humanoid; those bodies resembling spiders, within his perception, were not simply limbs, but extensions of some indescribable force.

With a gulp, Tian Xuanzi swallowed the White Wax World; his gaze closely scrutinized Li Chengyi.

"The aura of Primordial Soil... I had not anticipated that the root of the previous generation would fall upon you. It’s fate indeed..."

Li Chengyi’s heart trembled.

Since obtaining the Evil Flower, this was the first time someone was able to discern the covert card hidden within him.

The rank of the Evil Flower was extremely high, and even when facing strong opponents before, no one had discovered his condition.

Nor had anyone recognized the foundation of his strength.

But this time...

It seemed that, perceiving his nervousness, Tian Xuanzi offered a slight smile.

"There’s no need to be nervous. You are a disciple of Yin Yue and belong to the lineage of the Pavilion Master’s heavenly hand. I will not harm you, nor is there any need to..."

Li Chengyi’s mind flickered with thoughts, and he soon managed to relax of his own accord.

He knew very well that the other had come to rescue him, primarily because of the Emergency Signal Jade Token from his sect. It was likely that Ancestor Tian Xuanzi was unaware of the Evil Flower within him before he arrived.

Furthermore, with his current strength, if the Ancestor had any malicious intent, even donning the Divine Flower Gourmet would likely not enable him to escape.

"You have seen my embarrassment, Ancestor." He apologized softly.

"It has been difficult for you..." Tian Xuanzi shook his head, sitting cross-legged in the Black Sea, his body so large that the surrounding Blind Spot Worlds appeared as tiny pebbles, occasionally passing by the two of them.

Li Chengyi’s body, tens of kilometers long, was like floating dust before the other, barely visible.

It was only by extending his Consciousness Power that he could barely interact face-to-face with his Ancestor.

"May I ask the Ancestor if the White Wax World has been completely vanquished from this point forward?" After pondering, Li Chengyi asked.

"What you just saw was merely one of White Wax’s origin worlds. There are many Blind Spot Worlds eroded by them within the Black Sea; they are considered an emerging force," Tian Xuanzi shook his head.

"However, within the nearby Black Sea, there are numerous emerging forces. Although White Wax is strong, they have only just established their Daoist grounds and are not yet a concern."

Immediately following, he looked at Li Chengyi.

"You are imbued with the aura of Primordial Soil; you must have obtained a part of the Guilty Crown’s legacy. However, the current Guilty Crown has little left, a mere tenth remains, and is in ruins. You only need to be wary of the Emperor of Flowers’ enemies in the future. With Tian Ju Pavilion here, there is no need for excessive concern."

"Yes, thank you, Ancestor!" Li Chengyi quickly bowed in gratitude.

It was only then that he realized something - the White Wax World seemed to have vanished...

The Primordial Soil base he had chosen, intended as a stronghold for the future, had been... swallowed in a single gulp by the Ancestor...

He was simultaneously shocked by the terrifying power of the Tian Ju Pavilion Ancestor and yet, he also wanted to cry without tears; in fact, his impression of White Wax was rather favorable, strong and with the right temperament to become Evil Thoughts containers, suitable for capturing to use as slaves. Unexpectedly...

"You are indeed fortunate, it just so happened I was hunting in the vicinity for food. Otherwise, I would not have received the emergency signal you sent out," Tian Xuanzi smiled. "Now that fate has allowed us to meet, if you have any questions, you may ask them to my face. If you wait till the next time we meet, who knows how many days that will be."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyi’s mind began to turn quickly. After pondering for a moment, he looked up and carefully chose his words to ask.

"May I ask the Ancestor, within the True Fire Realm, what is the best way to enhance the Yin Canon?"

Although he had combined the Yin Canon with the Thousand Face Sword Canon and embarked on a new cultivation path, he still felt uncertain about the future.

"Burn thyself and generate Creation." Tian Xuanzi smiled and replied.

"Burn myself? But shouldn’t the Creation Furnace mainly burn external things?" Li Chengyi frowned.

"There lies the misunderstanding; anything can be placed into the Creation Furnace for burning, but more is not necessarily better. The Creation Furnace will accumulate impurities on its inner wall as a result of the burning, reinforcing its walls. Of all the combustibles, the best are those existences that have undergone Sublimation and Imprint. At this stage, it is merely about completion, preparing for the ultimate direction of Omniscience after the Divine Fire.

Burning oneself is to remove impurities, to purify the Imprint."

"After the Divine Fire, comes Omniscience?" Li Chengyi started, his heart mildly shocked.

"Not so, Omniscience has its scope. After reaching the limit of Divine Fire, you can solidify a space-time and explore all the variations, rules, limits, and more within it. Once you have thoroughly researched everything within, you can reach the edge of Omniscience, this is the Saint Position," Tian Xuanzi replied.

It seemed he enjoyed nurturing his juniors; indeed, if not for such a disposition, he wouldn’t have answered the emergency signal and come to the rescue.

"Saint Position?" Li Chengyi memorized the term firmly in his heart.

"Beyond the Saint Position, you will open up your own unique dimension, separate from everything else in the Black Sea. This new dimension belongs solely to you; within it, all creation and destruction are at your discretion. When this dimension evolves to its limit, by demonstrating inside and out, you can enter the Omniscience of the Black Sea."

Tian Xuanzi answered with a smile.

"You need not be discouraged, if you can surpass this achievement, and reach the All-Knowing Pinnacle of the Black Sea, then you are truly a Limit Breaker."

Speaking of Limit Breakers...

There was a faint, complex expression in Tian Xuanzi’s eyes.

"With the heritage from the previous generation, you might be able to touch upon this level. It is the ultimate of all paths. The Emperor of Flowers attempted to surpass the ultimate, to break the limits. He failed, and Royal’s City was shattered, but that isn’t really much; he must have anticipated it long before."

Listening to all this, Li Chengyi felt a tingling on his scalp. Just what realm was Ancestor Tian Xuanzi at? He talked about the Flower King and the Guilty Crown as if he were advising an equal.

"May I ask, Ancestor, what realm are you in?" he asked quietly.

"I wander the Black Sea, and now, I am also a pursuer of the limit," Tian Xuanzi sighed, "In Tian Ju Pavilion, there are a few other seekers like me. Our predecessors established Tian Ju Pavilion to achieve the possibility of crossing the limit."

His gaze was serene as he looked at Li Chengyi.

"You are still young, not aware that beyond the crossing of dimensions, the strength of power becomes irrelevant. After reaching the Saint Position and perfecting the realm, everyone’s power will step into the infinite. In theory, at that level, any individual could easily release boundless power, destroying everything. However, due to the suppression by other near-Limit Breakers and the boundlessness of the Black Sea, such objectives can never be achieved."

"Why does the Ancestor treat his disciple so kindly?" Li Chengyi felt puzzled as he heard so much secret knowledge.

"Before seeing you, I had no awareness of it, but after meeting you, there seems to be something beyond the Royal City’s heritage within you," Tian Xuanzi said, stroking his beard and narrowing his eyes.

His gaze shifted, gazing into the distant Black Sea.

"This world is like a sea of despair where everyone is sinking down. Only a very few of us want to float to the surface, to experience all that lies beyond."

A sudden hint of sorrow flashed in his eyes.

"You remind me of an old friend." Tian Xuanzi fell silent for a moment, seemingly engulfed by past emotions.

He stayed quiet, and Li Chengyi dared not say more.

The two of them became quiet, waiting in silence.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Tian Xuanzi snapped back to reality.

"Do not worry about the Royal City’s heritage bringing enemies upon you. The Emperor of Flowers fell mainly because he failed to break through the realm. He wanted to become the Unique Light, which was not a delusion. Back then, he collected the power of the Flower from countless Blind Spots, creating the Unique Flower, making every other flower in the outside world mere common flora, stripped of all their original powers.

He had already succeeded once...."

Li Chengyi was shaken, to gather all the powers of flowers, to achieve the Unique Flower??

Did that mean that originally, flowers possessed a certain power, which was all collected by the Royal’s City, losing their original strength?

While his thoughts were chaotic, Tian Xuanzi continued.

"Nobody knows how the Royal’s City fell that year. We only know that a thing called Source of Evil from unknown domains interfered with the Royal City’s plan and ultimately led to its failure in breaking the realm. If you encounter other heirs of the Royal City’s heritage in the future, you could help investigate. If you can inform me, there will be a generous reward."

"Disciple will keep this in mind," Li Chengyi said with haste and respect.

"Good." Tian Xuanzi was very satisfied with Li Chengyi.

There was more than one heir to the Royal City’s heritage. Tian Ju Pavilion had come into contact with a few before, but those were outsiders and naturally not as reliable as disciples of our own sect.

He could sense Li Chengyi’s emotions and true sincerity in accepting this promise.

At his level, with just one glance, merely by observing countless minute changes in facial expressions, the angle of muscle and pore constriction, the speed of bodily fluid flow, the subtle fluctuations of consciousness, and other ultra-microscopic aspects, he could tell whether the other party was lying and see through all their psychological changes.

The All-Knowing Pinnacle is such.

Omniscience is a realm, a fusion of countless pieces of information and knowledge, integrated into one’s own ability system to reach a unified level.

At this level, it’s like a super-enhanced version of ’knowing autumn from a single leaf.’ If Tian Xuanzi wishes, he could deduce all traces of a person’s past and present and know everything based on every detail of that person with minimal effort.

All things are dissected into countless particles in his eyes. Save for a few peers at his level and unknown domain entities, he is all-knowing to the rest.

Strength at his level has actually lost part of its significance.

If he wishes, a mere thought would allow him to evolve into a special form that controls limitless power, and then release his power without restriction, annihilating anything he wishes to destroy.

But that is meaningless.

"Do you have any other questions?" Coming back to his senses, Tian Xuanzi spoke again.

Li Chengyi knew how rare this opportunity was; even if he gathered enough merits for the Emergency Signal Jade Token again, he might not meet an ancestor of this level.

From the other’s tone, there were only a few ancestors of this level in the entire Tian Ju Pavilion.

So Li Chengyi racked his brain, quickly listing the tough questions he wanted to know.

He quickly looked down at the Mark of the Evil Flower on the back of his hand. With clenched teeth, he made a decision.

"May I ask the Ancestor if you know how to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of Royal’s City?"

The Emperor of Flowers died twice, and now he was the third. If he continued to follow the path laid out by the Evil Flower, he feared he too would die and not escape the disaster.

Was he stronger than the first Emperor of Flowers by following the old path?

So he must find a truly stronger path, one that surpasses the previous two!

This question made Tian Xuanzi fall silent for a moment.
