Chapter 467, Marquis Youxue
In the midst of a continuous, majestic mountain range in an inconspicuous valley of the endless snowfield, there is a cave. At this moment, a purplish-red tower is hidden deep within the cave.
Inside the main hall of the Xuanling Tower, Ye Muxuan sat cross-legged, his divine body restored to its original height, which was only a few million kilometers.
The spatial suppression on the Origin Continent is too strong. Before he entered the cycle of reincarnation, he already had the divine body of an Eternal True God, but his divine power supply was insufficient, and he was only at a height of more than 100 million kilometers. Now, here, he is suppressed to only a few million kilometers.
With the divine power supplied by the miniature universe, his divine body will gradually grow to its proper size, at which point it will be considered his normal size.
Inside the Xuanling Tower, feeling the divine power continuously supplied to his divine body by the Heart of the True God, Ye Muxuan carefully explored the abilities of his divine body.
Besides his "formless and shapeless" ability to transform into any form of life he has ever seen, the 100,000 times perfect divine body has many other abilities that can be developed. Combined with the many treasures he currently possesses, he should not be considered weak at least at the level of an eternal true god.
But that's all.
An Eternal True God is only a mid-to-lower level powerhouse in the entire Origin Continent. Joining a faction would only make him an elite who can command a portion of the Void True Gods and a large number of True Gods, and even that requires risking his life. Only those in the Chaos Realm can be enfeoffed as marquises and receive fiefdoms based on their strength.
Of course, this also requires that there are Chaos Realm or even God-King forces willing to accept your sacrifice. Within their own forces, Eternal True Gods can be mass-produced, but their territories are limited, and their resource output is equally limited.
He reached out, and the Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda appeared before him. He then entered the pagoda, where the tower spirit, formed from condensed chaotic energy, was already waiting.
"Lord Tower Spirit." Ye Muxuan bowed slightly and gave a salute.
"Since you are my master, there is no need for such formalities." The chaotic energy condensed into a giant human face, looking down at Ye Muxuan's divine body. "Next, you need to find a place to live, cultivate, and allow your divine body to grow to its normal form."
"But I don't even know where I am right now." Ye Muxuan said helplessly. Although he had received the inheritance from Duan Donghe and His Majesty the Prince of Jin, their information about the Origin Continent did not include the location of this snowy region. He couldn't even find a reference point.
The reincarnation of Xihe the Great Sage is also random. Heaven knows where she will be reincarnated. Perhaps she will be born into some wilderness tribe, or perhaps she will be born into one of the great powers or even the royal families of the two ancient kingdoms.
Although she was a transcendent being in the Chaos Realm, she also possessed the will of a God-King. After reincarnation, she had her previous memories from birth, making it easier for her to return to her peak.
However, she wouldn't contact me beforehand.
"You are now an Eternal True God and can recognize the fifth control core as your master. After recognizing it, you will receive a portion of the map of the Origin Continent left by your previous master. Then you can find your location." A jade-colored crystal ball fell in front of the Tower Spirit, which was the fifth control core of this Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda.
Back when he was at the level of the Lord of the Universe, he possessed the ultimate will of a true god and could only fuse with the fourth control core. The Tower Spirit clearly stated that only after passing through the cycle of reincarnation could he fuse with the fifth.
Ye Muxuan's eyes lit up. After merging with the control core, he would gain more cultivation resources and some maps, which would allow him to find his location.
We can't keep cultivating in the wilderness forever. Not only is the cultivation speed too slow, but it's also unsafe. All sorts of strange beasts are no joke.
The jade-colored crystal sphere merged into Ye Muxuan's sea of consciousness, becoming one with the other four crystal spheres without much trouble.
It seems that in addition to a stronger will, the special environment of the Origin Continent is probably also one of the requirements for fusion.
In the following day, Ye Muxuan received a great deal of information transmitted from the crystal ball.
Contacting the incarnation in the smaller universe revealed that a "day" here is equivalent to 10081 years, or an epoch, in the original universe!
After receiving a lot of information, a vast and desolate map appeared before Ye Muxuan. This was a partial map left behind by the previous owner of the Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda, which recorded a part of the Origin Continent.
Unfortunately, he still didn't know where he was, mainly because there were no landmarks, making it difficult to locate himself.
"Can't find the location?" The Tower Spirit asked, noticing the helplessness in Ye Muxuan's eyes.
"Yes, this lousy place, I don't know how it ended up here." Ye Muxuan said, not hiding his emotions at all.
"Then let's go out and look for it. As long as we encounter any living creature, we'll be able to find the location."
In the endless snowy wilderness, Ye Muxuan, dressed in an embroidered black robe, traversed the void, flying in one direction.
He refused to believe that as long as he flew in one direction, he wouldn't encounter a single life.
Three days later, Ye Muxuan suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.
At the True God stage, his special ability to sense supreme treasures already covered a range of one thousand light-years in diameter. After reaching the Eternal True God stage, it should theoretically be able to reach a range of tens of millions of light-years. However, now that he has entered the Origin Continent, his ability is clearly suppressed significantly; based on his current sensing capabilities, that location is estimated to be only about ten light-years away.
This is far stronger than the suppression of a divine body; it's suppressed by a million times!
There are also great differences among Eternal True Gods. The size of their divine bodies, the purity of their divine power, the level of their cultivation techniques, and the secret treasures they possess all affect their range of perception. Ye Muxuan is not only an Eternal True God with a perfect divine body, but he also possesses special sensory abilities.
In Ye Muxuan's perception, the source of the aura in the distance contained several mechanical treasures at the level of Void True Gods, comparable to the Star Mist Armor he wore, which was of little use. In addition, there was a special aura that he had never seen before.
It's good if there are unexpected situations; at least we can communicate and know where we are.
Within a mere ten light-years, the primordial universe could be traversed with a single teleportation. Now, while teleportation is no longer possible, traversing the void is still incredibly fast.
In the void, Ye Muxuan gazed into the depths of the endless snowfield, where three Void True Gods were arrayed, guarding a treasure. The aura of the Void True God-level mechanical treasures he had sensed earlier belonged to these three; there were five in total. However, what attracted his attention was actually what the three Void True Gods were guarding.
Despite the rudimentary array blocking his way, after receiving the sect's inheritance, he saw through the simple illusion array at a glance and discerned the treasure at its core, which was the same special aura he had sensed before but had never seen.
On a stone platform, a blood-red ice crystal flower blooms, its petals bursting forth like flames.
If he wasn't mistaken, this blood-red ice crystal flower was the Crimson Flame Ice Crystal Flower mentioned in the information given by the Great Sage Xihe. It was suitable for those who followed the laws of fire, as well as those who followed the bloodline path. It was even useful for some Eternal True Gods.
This can be considered a rare treasure of heaven and earth.
After sensing his surroundings and confirming that there were no other auras around, Ye Muxuan quietly hid in the void. At the same time, the Muying Disc appeared in his hand, enveloping the three Void True Gods and the rare treasures of heaven and earth, perfectly concealing their auras.
His own divine body alone was certainly not enough to conceal his aura, but with the addition of the Mu Ying Pan, he was certain that no one below the Chaos Realm could discover this rare treasure of heaven and earth.
It's a perfect opportunity to obtain both rare treasures from heaven and earth and to determine our current location.
Half a month passed in waiting. More than ten epochs had passed in the small universe. Divine power was continuously transmitted to supply the growth of the divine body, which has now grown to tens of millions of kilometers.
At a certain moment, one of the three Void Gods who had been on guard took out a crystal jade box and, the instant the Crimson Flame Ice Crystal Flower broke off from its root and fell onto the stone platform after it matured, put it into the crystal jade box, thus isolating it from the aura of this rare treasure of heaven and earth.
"After thirteen epochs of waiting, we have finally succeeded in obtaining the mature Crimson Flame Ice Crystal Flower!" One of the Void Gods roared excitedly, his two long tails swaying unconsciously. "This time when we return—"
Then, he saw Ye Muxuan standing in the void, and his roar stopped abruptly.
"Thank you for waiting through the thirteenth century to pluck this Crimson Flame Ice Crystal Flower for me."
The other two Void Gods were still wondering about the strangeness of their previous companion when an unfamiliar voice rang out, plunging their minds into despair.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
They are the praying mantis!
"Greetings, Divine Lord! We are willing to offer the Crimson Flame Ice Crystal Flower to you!" The Void True God who had previously picked the Crimson Flame Ice Crystal Flower bowed his head and raised the crystal jade box in his hand high.
Few cultivators who have reached the Void God level are fools. This mysterious deity in an embroidered black robe has clearly been waiting here for a long time. If they don't know what's good for them, they'll not only lose the rare treasures of heaven and earth, but they'll also lose their lives.
"Divine Lord" is a respectful title used in the Origin Continent.
Ye Muxuan raised his hand, and amidst the reluctant but undisguised expressions of the three Void Gods, the crystal jade box floated up and landed in his hand.
"Which Chaos Continent is this?" Ye Muxuan asked, fiddling with the crystal jade box. Under his close-range perception, the Void True God capable of stealing the sky and changing the sun did not yet exist.
Huh? Asking for directions?
"Reporting to the Divine Lord." The leading Void True God bowed his head and answered respectfully, "This is the Youxue Chaos State of Hanfeng Kingdom."
"Hanfeng Kingdom?" Ye Muxuan nodded, finally knowing where he was. It was a divine kingdom located in the snowy ice plains, its territory situated in the buffer zone between the two ancient kingdoms of the Origin Continent—or, in a more intimate, crisscrossing zone. Both of its rulers were guest ministers of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.
"Which is the nearest large city?" Although the Great Sage Youxue's reputation was not as great as that of the Great Sage Xihe of the Wu Kingdom, he was still at the peak of the Chaos Realm. He had joined the Hanfeng Kingdom and was enfeoffed as a marquis by the Hanfeng Kingdom's ruler, becoming known as the Marquis Youxue. The Chaos State he ruled was also called the Youxue Chaos State.
"Reporting to the God, it is Snowfield City."
Within the Chaotic State of Youxue, there are four large cities. Among them, You'an City and Xueyuan City are large cities directly controlled by Youxue Marquis, with many powerful individuals residing there. They are connected to the two ancient kingdoms, making trade prosperous and facilitating the flow of information and intelligence.
"Take me to Snowfield City." Ye Muxuan lowered his head, his gaze falling on the three Void True Gods.
"Yes, Divine Lord!" The Divine Lord asked him to lead the way? That meant he wouldn't kill them. The three Void True Gods were very happy; at least their lives were spared.
