Chapter 1661 - Chapter 1661 Chapter 716 Particles Cave Heaven Stele

Chapter 1661: Chapter 716: Particles Cave Heaven, Stele Speculation_2 Chapter 1661: Chapter 716: Particles Cave Heaven, Stele Speculation_2 And as this speck of spirit energy “came into existence from nothingness,” Han Yi discovered that new particles began to emerge near the original one; this time, there were as many as eight particles.

He tried again to wrap the particles in divine force and activate them; this time, it did not require three years, but only one. He completely activated one particle, and Tao thoughts poured into it through an opening.

It was yet another Cave Heaven World, but this one was still in the primitive phase of the Savage Wilderness. He saw wild people hunting animals in the forests, an era of consuming raw flesh and blood.

Han Yi withdrew his Tao thoughts and continued to use the divine force to activate other particles. As each particle was activated, he saw different Cave Heavens unfold: feudal chaos, savage times, silent worlds, and martial cultivator eras.

The levels of these Cave Heavens were not high; the strongest warriors in them were only equivalent to those who had just entered the Qi Cultivation Stage.

As these particles were refined, spirit energy began to emerge in the spaces nearby, growing in both quantity and density.

Not far from these particles, more began to appear.

However, Han Yi did not continue activating other particles because, at this moment, his Tao thoughts in the space of this stele mysteriously gained the “permission” to refine the stele.

That’s right.

It was permission, an indescribable and unclear kind, but he just knew it.

He also knew that this permission came only after he activated nine particles and established a connection with these Cave Heaven particles.

The permission was minimal, but it was enough for Han Yi to preliminarily connect with the stele. This connection was far from complete refinement, but it was sufficient to enable him to absorb the stele into his body.

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Han Yi looked at the stele with a hint of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes. The particles within the stele were each a Cave Heaven World, and although the space within the stele was not vast, the particles were even smaller; it seemed the entire space was filled with such particles, almost too numerous to count.

If viewed from a macro perspective, wouldn’t this stele be equivalent to a Tao Domain? The particles would then be the worlds within that domain.

And, if one dared to think further.

Could this stele be a Chaos Realm?

The thought startled Han Yi himself.

He shook his head, beginning to dismiss this astonishing idea. If it were a Chaos Realm, who would have such might to refine it into a stele and then place it on the outskirts of a relic?

If this relic were indeed the Ashen Ruins, then this stele and the powers of Ashen Mountain from the past would have a connection; it would not have perished in the struggle against the Primordial Demon Palace.

There were great secrets hidden here.

Han Yi did not let his mind wander; he checked again and found that near the activated nine particles–nine Cave Heaven Worlds–more spirit energy began to emerge.

And as this spirit energy emerged, gradually, other particles appeared, which, although slower to emerge, proved to be more difficult to activate after he explored them with divine force.

After some thought, he spent twenty years to activate the tenth particle and discovered that the Cave Heaven World within it was much larger, ten times the size of the first particle’s world he initially found.

Though the world was still poor in spirit energy, a sweep of his Tao thoughts detected that this world had once been a Cultivation World. Although many relics indicated that the highest realm attained here was only Nascent Soul, it was already significantly more advanced than the previous Cave Heaven Worlds.

Han Yi left that world, and his Tao thoughts returned to himself.

He now roughly deduced that the nine particles he had activated were among the lowest levels of Cave Heavens within the space of the stele.

Beyond them were higher levels, such as the tenth particle, and if the exploration continued, even more superior worlds would appear.

All these worlds had their spirit energy cut off and had entered the End of the Law era; once activated, they would bring the return of spirit energy and re-enter an era of cultivation.

Han Yi was uncertain about the real truth of the stele, so he dared not continue activating more and instead chose to exit.

His intent focused on the stele; he began trying to absorb the stele into his Divine Aperture World.

This time, there was no lack of reaction, but instead, Han Yi felt a force of resistance. When he increased the power of his moving intent to near his full strength, he finally saw the Stele begin to blur and then vanish from its original position.

To accommodate the Chongxuan Stele, Han Yi placed it within his First Divine Aperture World, that is, the Central Mansion Divine Aperture World.

As he advanced to the Creation Realm and the Infinite Realm, the Central Mansion Divine Aperture World had evolved to the scale of a minor world, and it was not just any minor world, but one that could rival the vastness of the Divine Power World at the bottom of the Jade Lake in the Ancient Great World he once encountered.

Using it to hold the Stele was the greatest limit Han Yi could achieve.

To some extent, the Central Mansion Divine Aperture World was even more robust than his own Tao Realm; if the Stele were to act abnormally, this Divine Aperture World could contain it.

Han Yi stood up in the Cave Heaven World and with a thought, he realized that forty-three years had already passed since he arrived here.

For a Dao Realm Cultivator, time often spans decades, centuries, or even a millennium, and he had gradually grown accustomed to this.

With a flicker, he moved outside the Cave Mansion, but he did not take immediate action, and instead, his brow furrowed.

This was because he felt an immense intangible pressure upon him, coming from the eighty-six Dao Incarnations he harbored within himself and the newly acquired Chongxuan Stele within the Central Mansion Divine Aperture World.

If it were just the Dao Incarnations, the effect they had on him was manageable, and he could suppress it to a minimum, but with the addition of the Chongxuan Stele, he clearly felt it beginning to affect his own state.

This was not good; the risk was too great. If he were to face someone of the Daoist Fruit Realm, he might still manage, but if he were to confront an Outer Path enemy, any delay in his actions would be infinitely magnified in battle, inevitably endangering himself.

After some thought, he released all the Dao Incarnations from the Divine Aperture World.

In an instant, numerous bizarre Tao Principles collided within this space, mostly because the majority of these Dao Incarnations were beings of Chaos and Disorder, led by the Taoless, the Contrarian, and the Sacrificers. The presence of these disorderly beings in normal space would certainly trigger a reaction from the Tao Principles.

This was all under the suppression of the Void Sword Realm; if he were to dispel the Void Sword Realm, the nearby major powers of the Dao Realm might sense the change and come here to “Destroy Evil.”

Later, under Han Yi’s arrangement, all these beings of disorder and some Seekers of the Path vanished into six shadowy figures, which were the first batch of Dao Incarnations Han Yi had developed and transformed on the Daoist God Continent over twenty decades ago.

Although these Dao Incarnations bore a killing aura, from their very roots, they were genuine Seekers of the Path.

This was Han Yi’s plan.

He separated the Dao Incarnations to reduce the pressure on himself.

After he was done exploring the Ashen Ruins, he planned to purchase on the Emperor Xuan Continent a powerful Taoist Boat with speed equivalent to that of the Outer Path Realm. Then, using Tao Crystals to power the boat, he would have the Taoist Boat carry his Incarnations and himself across the vast Chaos back to the Fuheng Taoist Area.

The six first-step Dao Incarnations bowed respectfully to Han Yi and then dove down, returning to the Cave Mansion he had previously created while refining the Stele.

Han Yi then packed away the Void Sword Realm, determined his bearings, and with a shake of his form, he headed directly outside the Emperor Xuan Continent, aiming to visit the Ashen Ruins once more.

What relieved him was that carrying the Stele did not affect his speed.

Ten days later, he saw the murky ruins ahead again. After altering his appearance and aura with the Intangible Skill, he directly dove into them, choosing a different entrance than his previous visit.

He still had to beware of being recognized; if the Emperor Xuan Sect were to send a Unity Realm Stage or a Heavenly Sovereign, he would be walking right into a trap.

He would avoid trouble wherever possible.

Even having broken through to the Daoist Fruit Realm, Han Yi continued to act with caution.

This time, his appearance was that of a sinister-looking, gaunt young man with an aura that kept others at bay, intimidating enough to deter any ordinary Dao Realm cultivator from approaching.

Such an unapproachable aura could save him from some nuisances.

This time, after crossing the boundary of the ruins, what came into view was a God Mountain towering into the clouds.

And there he stood, at the foot of the mountain.
