Yuan’s Ascension

"The Spacetime Dao Realm is a mysterious place within the endless river of space and time," Immortal Sovereign Bei You smiled. "You can think of it as a cultivation sanctuary. Hmm, I'll just transmit the detailed information to you."

Whoosh~ Immortal Sovereign Bei You pointed from afar, and a flood of information instantly poured into Wu Yuan's mind.

In no time, he understood.

The Spacetime Dao Realm was a mysterious place created by a supreme being skilled in the Spacetime Dao, the Spacetime Dao Master.

The Spacetime Dao Realm transcended any single macrocosm, an omnipresent place. But without a guide, even some legendary supreme beings on par with the Spacetime Dao Master couldn't locate the Spacetime Dao Realm.

The Spacetime Dao Master could be described in one word – mysterious! He was an extremely enigmatic powerhouse in the vast river of space and time.

Yet he widely accepted disciples. Over long ages, the Spacetime Dao Master had distributed spacetime imprints to many macrocosms across the river of space and time. Anyone proficient in the Space Dao or Time Dao could activate a spacetime imprint and travel to the Spacetime Dao Realm to cultivate.

This was a sacred ground for cultivators of Space and Time, the two Greater Laws, and also a mysterious place within the vast river of space and time. It was even more mysterious than the Immutable Land.

The spacetime imprint could only be fused with those who hadn't completed Immortal Tribulations or fully comprehended a Dao.

But in reality, though the Spacetime Dao Master provided guidance to countless powerhouses, he never truly accepted disciples. Even for unparalleled talents, the Spacetime Dao Master would only guide them in cultivation. Once they reached a certain level, they would be expelled from the Spacetime Dao Realm.

Peerless geniuses from all the top forces in the river of space and time - the Eldritch Court, Taiyuan Divine Court, Immortal Court, and others - could all go there to cultivate. All were treated equally!

The Spacetime Dao Realm offered great opportunities but was equally dangerous. Even monstrous prodigies could perish within. Those wishing to cultivate there had to tread with extreme caution!

“Within the Spacetime Dao Realm…”

Besides the brief description of the Spacetime Dao Master, this intelligence dossier also contained a wealth of detailed information about the internal rules of the Spacetime Dao Realm, including solutions to many of its challenges.

Clearly, this intelligence was compiled by a powerhouse extremely familiar with the Spacetime Dao Realm.

Wu Yuan committed it all to memory.

The river of space and time is truly vast and boundless. To think there exists such a supreme being? Wu Yuan mused to himself.

Not truly accepting disciples, yet willing to guide peerless geniuses from various forces? How peculiar!

But such a being surely possessed unfathomable power. Wu Yuan secretly speculated that even across the entire river of space and time, he likely stood at the very pinnacle. ŘàNȫ₿Ɛs̩

Over these hundreds of years, as he encountered more confidential information, Wu Yuan's qi refiner self gradually came to understand that the Sovereign level was not the end of cultivation.

In the vast, endless river of space and time, some inconceivable beings surpassing Sovereigns would sometimes emerge, possessing unimaginable godly abilities and power. Clearly, this Spacetime Dao Master was a being who transcended Sovereigns.

"Ming Jian, have you finished reading?" Immortal Sovereign Bei You said calmly.

"Yes," Wu Yuan nodded.

"The spacetime imprint of the Spacetime Dao Realm isn't too rare. Even within our Eternal Sun Immortal World alone, there are quite a few imprint bearers, not mentioning the entire Taiyuan Divine Court," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said.

"At certain intervals, our Eternal Sun Immortal World would send some individuals to the Spacetime Dao Realm.

Add up the cultivators from all the macrocosms under the entire divine court headquarters' rule, and the number is even greater... If we count all the top forces across the entire river of space and time, it would be countless."

Wu Yuan was startled.

It sounded like this so-called spacetime imprint wasn't too precious. Of course, Wu Yuan understood that this was likely only relative to someone like Immortal Sovereign Bei You. For ordinary Astral Monarchs, it probably wasn’t easy to obtain.

"However, the Dao Master Imprint I've imparted to you is different," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said calmly. "It's more than ten thousand times more precious than an ordinary spacetime imprint."

Wu Yuan held his breath. So valuable?

"You'll naturally understand once you reach the Spacetime Dao Realm," Immortal Sovereign Bei You smiled. "I believe it won't disappoint you."

"Yes," Wu Yuan nodded obediently.

He was going to the Spacetime Dao Realm? Wu Yuan felt a hint of anticipation.

"The Spacetime Dao Realm is an incredibly distant and mysterious place far from the macrocosm. At certain periods of time, the divine court will gather the geniuses who have obtained spacetime imprints and send them there together," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said.

"There are still three years until the next group departure. For these three years, you'll stay at the Immortal Belvedere. When the time comes, I'll summon you again."

"Yes," Wu Yuan nodded.

"Additionally, with your rate of progress in the Law of Space, cultivating your mana slowly would be a waste of time. This divine crystal elixir is your reward, allowing you to break through to the ninth-stage Divided Soul phase as soon as possible," Immortal Sovereign Bei You suddenly waved his hand, and a stream of light flew out.

A green jade vial hovered before Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan’s eyes shone. Divine crystal elixir?

"This is also the last time I'll be granting you this. Even as your grandmaster, I won’t be able to provide divine crystal elixir to spare you the toil of accumulating mana after you reach the High Immortal phase," Immortal Sovereign Bei You shook his head.

Wu Yuan nodded.

Just advancing from the first-stage to the ninth-stage Divided Soul phase required an astronomical quantity of divine crystal elixir. Ordinary Astral Monarchs weren’t able to toss around such wealth. Only Immortal Sovereign Bei You could manage it.

As for High Immortals? Each breakthrough required such a vast amount of spiritual qi that they all had to break through slowly on their own.

"The rest depends on you," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said. "If there's nothing else, you may go."

"This disciple has one more matter," Wu Yuan suddenly said.

"Oh?" Immortal Sovereign Bei You was puzzled, then smiled. "You little rascal, I knew you didn't come to see me for nothing. What is it? Speak."

"Grandmaster previously mentioned that once I cleared level one hundred of the two-star tower and three-star tower, I could receive an additional reward of one million divine crystals. I wonder if that promise still holds?" Wu Yuan asked respectfully.

His eyes burned with fervor as he looked at Immortal Sovereign Bei You.

"Naturally," Immortal Sovereign Bei You's expression shifted subtly, a hint of disbelief creeping into his gaze as he regarded Wu Yuan. "But didn't you just recently conquer level one hundred of the two-star tower? Are you saying... you can conquer level one hundred of the three-star tower?"

"That's correct," Wu Yuan nodded firmly, his conviction palpable. "Though this disciple hasn't attempted it yet, I'm eighty percent certain I will succeed. Therefore, I wish to inquire of Grandmaster: should I attempt the challenge now?

If I do so at this moment, I fear I would expose a large extent of my abilities and stir up even more turmoil. Would it be possible to receive the reward of one million divine crystals in advance before I attempt it?

The Spacetime Dao Realm is fraught with danger. With only the tens of thousands of divine crystals I currently possess, it would be difficult to fully unleash my potential. If I had one million divine crystals, this disciple's self-preservation ability would increase substantially." Wu Yuan laid out his reasoning in one breath.

In essence, it boiled down to two words—he wanted money!

Yet his string of arguments left Immortal Sovereign Bei You silent. He fixed Wu Yuan with an intense stare, waves of pressure radiating from his eyes.

Wu Yuan's expression remained utterly unchanged.

At this, Immortal Sovereign Bei You found himself eighty percent convinced. Over the years, he had occasionally observed Wu Yuan, and knew him to be the type who acted only after careful deliberation.

If Wu Yuan claimed to be eighty percent certain, it likely meant he was one hundred percent sure.

Level one hundred of the three-star tower? Immortal Sovereign Bei You's gaze lingered on Wu Yuan, still tinged with disbelief.

He was well aware that Wu Yuan wasn't even five hundred years old yet. To be able to conquer level one hundred of the three-star tower now? To possess Dao comprehension rivaling that of an Eighth Tribulation Archimmortal? Even knowing Wu Yuan's extraordinary talent, it still seemed nearly inconceivable.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Wu Yuan waited patiently, his mind calm.

"Being able to conquer level one hundred of the three-star tower is indeed impressive," Immortal Sovereign Bei You finally spoke. "However, attempting it now would be premature. If you were to challenge it now, you'd have to rely primarily on the Law of Life, wouldn't you?"

"Correct," Wu Yuan's qi refiner self nodded.

Although his qi refiner self wasn't entirely clear on his body refiner self's situation, unaware of the combat secret arts the latter had cultivated, their Dao comprehension was shared.

With Dao comprehension that had already reached the fourth-level True Intent stage of the Law of Life, combined with the Law of Space, conquering level one hundred of the three-star tower would be more than achievable.

"Then let's hold off on the attempt for now." Immortal Sovereign Bei You gazed at Wu Yuan intently. "I'd prefer that when you conquer level one hundred of the three-star tower, you do so using the Law of Space. At that time, I'll make your combat performance public.

By then, with one of your true selves specializing in the Law of Space and the other in the Law of Life, the chances of their connection being exposed will be much lower," Immortal Sovereign Bei You explained.

Wu Yuan listened, secretly startled.

His grandmaster's plan was undeniably clever. However, to conquer level one hundred of the three-star tower using only the Law of Space? That would be incredibly difficult.

After all, Wu Yuan's mastery of the Law of Space was currently only at the sixth-level Domain stage. He hadn't even crystallized True Intent yet, let alone reached the fourth-level True Intent stage, which seemed impossibly far off.

"This disciple will strive with all his might," Wu Yuan declared solemnly. "Would you like me to demonstrate?"

Having decided to devote himself wholeheartedly to comprehending the Law of Space, he naturally had to give it his all, not allowing himself to fall too far behind in comparison to the Law of Life.

"A demonstration won't be necessary. I trust you," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said with a smile. "I'll grant you the one million divine crystals. How you use them will be entirely up to you.

Furthermore, you needn't worry too much. When the time comes for you to enter the Spacetime Dao Realm, I'll grant you some items to safeguard your life."

"Understood." Wu Yuan's heart swelled with joy.

Gifts from an Immortal Sovereign would surely be extraordinary.

"You may return now."

"Thank you, Grandmaster." Wu Yuan bowed respectfully before leaving Immortal Sovereign Bei You's temple.

Sensing Wu Yuan's departure, Immortal Sovereign Bei You chuckled and shook his head. What a headstrong little one, already trying to manipulate me. He's cut from the same cloth as that master of his.

Nevertheless, Wu Yuan's rate of progress truly astonished Immortal Sovereign Bei You. Normally, advancement in the Law of Space would be significantly slower than other Laws like the Law of Life.

Otherwise, how could there be only one Sovereign of Space in the entire macrocosm over the long ages? Even the number of Space Astral Monarchs was exceedingly low.

I wonder how far this grand-disciple of mine will go in the Spacetime Dao Realm? Immortal Sovereign Bei You mused, his heart filled with anticipation.
