Yuan's Ascension-Chapter 955: One Who Reaches The Shore Is No Longer A Fish (2)

Wu Yuan left Overlord Xin Ya's plane, returning to his own plane.

The resources gifted by the divine court for my breakthrough to Sovereign? How much could there be? Wu Yuan muttered to himself, quickly querying.

He stared at the enormous number on the light screen projection, dumbfounded for a long while.

This should be enough to redeem a hundred high-grade Dao Instrument flying swords, right? Wu Yuan slowly murmured.

The Eldritch Court bestowed better top-tier treasures, with a single Azure Origin Armor being worth who knew how many high-grade Dao Instruments.

However, the Taiyuan Divine Court granted more common treasures.

With a hundred high-grade Dao Instruments, if I exchanged them all for Spacetime-type high-grade Dao Instrument flying swords and fed them to the Samsara Sword, it should be able to elevate its power to the next threshold. Wu Yuan thought to himself.

After the battle with Sovereign Heng Yang, Wu Yuan had already realized the terrifying power of the Samsara Sword. When its Dao resonance was activated, the might of the nine lifebound flying swords far surpassed top-grade Dao Instruments.

By Wu Yuan's estimation, they could possibly rival a Xiantian artifact when all nine were united. It was precisely because of this that Wu Yuan was able to defeat Sovereign Heng Yang so decisively.

However, Wu Yuan also perceived the limitations of the Samsara Sword. The stronger the Dao essence of the flying swords it empowered, the fewer flying swords it could empower significantly.

When I advance further in the Great Dao of Spacetime and my lifebound flying swords are further enhanced to top-grade Dao Instruments, it will be even more taxing for the Samsara Sword to empower them all. Wu Yuan had already realized this point.

Therefore, it was imperative to strengthen the Samsara Sword as much as possible. In battles between powerhouses, the best strategy was to maximize one’s strengths.

Wu Yuan's mana body primarily relied on high-grade Dao Instruments and other treasures in battle. As for his qi refiner self, the nine lifebound flying swords and two Xiantian artifacts were more than sufficient. Additional Dao Instruments would offer little practical benefit.

Were the Overlord's words a warning to me? Wu Yuan suddenly realized something. Could it be because my true self is exploring the Creation Dao Realm?

Although the news of Wu Yuan exploring the Creation Dao Realm remained unverified, it was a relatively straightforward process to gather intelligence and draw conclusions about it.

The Creation Dao Master is a fallen supreme being. Inwardly, Wu Yuan deliberated. My body refiner self indeed needs to be more cautious.

The Silvermist Immortal Nation, while unremarkable among the more than 1200 immortal nations within the Eternal Sun Immortal World, had a spacetime territory of immense proportions, stretching to a maximum diameter of tens of millions of light years.

In a nondescript expanse of outer space, Wu Yuan, dressed in pristine white robes, materialized from thin air.

He surveyed the surrounding void, his gaze penetrating the dark expanse of space. A torrent of information flooded his mind as he conducted a preliminary survey of the area within a radius of a million light years. This was an assessment from a higher spatial dimension.

This location is approximately two million light years from the Redmoon Immortal Continent. Let's establish the world here. He mused quietly.

Whoosh! With a wave, black-robed figures emerged around him, each distinct in height and form, yet all radiating potent vital auras. These were the eight Astral Monarchs who had followed Wu Yuan from the Black Devil Blood Hollow, including Astral Monarch Second Devil and Astral Monarch Ninth Devil.

"Greetings, Master," the eight Astral Monarchs intoned, bowing with instinctive reverence.

"Rise," Wu Yuan instructed casually.

As they stood, the Astral Monarchs were struck with astonishment, their eyes wide in disbelief as they beheld the magnitude of Wu Yuan's unrestrained aura, vast and unfathomable. If they were mountains, Wu Yuan was an entire star—his presence was on an entirely different level.

"Master, you... you've already become a Sovereign?" inquired Astral Monarch Second Devil.

"Sovereign?" echoed the other seven Astral Monarchs, their hearts racing with the revelation.

"Yes," Wu Yuan replied with a faint smile, observing the eight Astral Monarchs with a touch of amusement. Reflecting on the past, Wu Yuan recalled how he had once received Sovereign Black Devil's inheritance in the Spacetime Dao Realm, with these eight Astral Monarchs meant to safeguard him.

Yet, his progression had been too rapid. After departing the Spacetime Island, his qi refiner self entered the divine court headquarters, leaving no opportunity for them to wield their abilities.

"This? This?"

"Master has only been cultivating for less than forty thousand years, right?"

"Sovereign? And why do I feel that Master's aura is even stronger than our old master's?" The eight Astral Monarchs were all bewildered, not knowing what to say.

"First, refine these voidrealm tokens," Wu Yuan waved his hand, and eight voidrealm tokens flew out. "I am now a member of the Taiyuan Divine Court. You are all under my command, so you are also members of the divine court from now on. However, you must not reveal anything related to Sovereign Black Devil."

In the past, Wu Yuan had been reluctant and fearful of disclosing anything about Sovereign Black Devil. But now? Even if Sovereign Black Devil were to rise again, they would have to battle it out to see who wielded greater strength. Wu Yuan no longer feared revealing such secrets.

To firmly establish his power, his qi refiner self required loyal subordinates. Wu Yuan placed greater trust in the eight Astral Monarchs—such as Second Devil and Ninth Devil—than in the Astral Monarchs of the Eternal Sun Immortal World.

As the Greenridge branch's leader, Wu Yuan commanded significant authority within the divine court headquarters. Arranging for several Astral Monarchs to join the divine court was a simple task for him.

Time moved along.

One by one, the eight Astral Monarchs entered the Taiyuan Voidrealm and Eternal Sun Immortal Voidrealm. They not only began to grasp the various permissions they wielded within the Taiyuan Divine Court but also uncovered Wu Yuan's remarkable deeds over the past tens of thousands of years.

"Master, did you really claim a Saintcrest?"

"Ranked third at the Megaverse Crossroads? A Supreme Genius?" The Astral Monarchs were all visibly taken aback.

They had heard tales of the Megaverse Crossroads but never dared dream of becoming a Saintcrest Prodigy. Yet, their master had done the unimaginable.

"Master, what are your orders for us?" Astral Monarch Second Devil was the first to speak, her tone now tinged with deep respect.

A sliver of unease crept into her heart. For her, tens of thousands of years were fleeting, like a blink. Yet in that time, Wu Yuan had transformed dramatically. In their past, they were the ones tasked with safeguarding him. But now? Wu Yuan was the one protecting them instead.

"I don’t require much from you," Wu Yuan replied, his voice relaxed. "I will rebuild the Black Devil Blood Hollow, creating a unique world and renaming it Ming Jian Hall. Your role is to follow orders and continue your cultivation.

“You are individuals I trust implicitly," he continued. "I will do everything within my power to support you. My hope is that some Sovereigns will emerge among you." Wu Yuan's eyes lingered on Astral Monarch Second Devil. Among the eight, she demonstrated the deepest Dao comprehension, having already mastered Sovereign-level techniques.

"Understood," they responded collectively, elated by his words.

In addition to speaking with the eight Astral Monarchs, Wu Yuan also communicated with Big Devil, the entity governing the Black Devil Blood Hollow. Big Devil was both astounded and thrilled by the developments.

With everything meticulously planned, Wu Yuan decided it was time to bring a new world into existence. It doesn't need to be enormous. He mused, scanning the distant void. A diameter of a hundred billion li will suffice.

With a resounding boom, vast and boundless Sovereign mana surged forth, intertwining with the Law of Space. In that same moment, a flying sword materialized in the void.

Whoosh! A sword sliced cleanly through outer space.

With a deep rumble, the darkness of space seemed to tear, releasing torrents of energy that coursed through the void while spiritual qi from both heaven and earth swirled together. It felt like the very creation of heaven and earth was unfolding before their eyes.

Coalesce! Wu Yuan commanded with a focused gaze. The immense reserves of mana within his immortal body surged outward with fervor.

An invisible force pulled the distant stars across light-years, gathering them together into the nascent form of an expansive world. These stars Wu Yuan had taken were barren and lifeless.

"Creation of a world,"

"Forging matter from the void.”

Nearby, the eight Astral Monarchs watched in awe, their eyes wide with disbelief. Such divine abilities transcended their understanding. Destroying a world? That was a simple task. But to create one? A daunting challenge indeed.

Years melded into decades, and those into centuries. Even with Wu Yuan's formidable strength and the guidance of Sovereign Bei You, who had created the Bei You Realm, it took over a thousand years to fully form and complete this world. Yet, this act of creation was also a form of cultivation, offering Wu Yuan unique insights.

"Go," he declared. With a casual yet deliberate flick of his wrist, the spherical Black Devil Blood Hollow expanded rapidly, merging seamlessly with the newly formed world in the distant void. In an instant, both disappeared, leaving outer space to settle back into its quiet tranquility.

The monumental task was done.

"Did it succeed?"

"What just happened? Where did it go?" The eight stood in bewilderment. Moments ago, Wu Yuan had fashioned an entire world, the process causing an enormous stir. Now, the vastness of space was eerily silent, as if nothing had ever disturbed its calm.

I integrated the Black Devil Blood Hollow into the array I've laid down, using it as an array base for the defense array. The coordinates of the world are located within the Spacetime Intersection Layer. Wu Yuan smiled.

From now on, without a token to guide them, even Sovereign powerhouses won't be able to find it. Even if a Sovereign of Space locates it, they'd still have to break through the defense array to enter.

It was even safer than the Bei You Realm. This was the stronghold Wu Yuan had crafted for himself.

It wasn't just the Black Devil Blood Hollow. While creating this world, Wu Yuan had embedded high-grade Dao Instruments into it as well. He also seamlessly merged layers of powerful arrays with the world's essence. These treasures, which his mana body had transported from the divine court's headquarters, were pivotal in bringing this world to fruition.

Within this stronghold, fortified by these arrays, even an Overlord would find themselves thwarted. Wu Yuan mused, satisfaction evident. It was his stronghold after all; he had to put in some effort.

"Let's go!" With a wave, Wu Yuan transported the eight Astral Monarchs into a higher spatial dimension, entering his newly forged world.

The landscape unfolded before them, vast and primal.

"This is the new world Master created?" one of the Astral Monarchs asked, his voice tinged with awe.

"It's so barren," another observed, eyes scanning the desolate expanse below. Though the sun, moon, and stars cycled perfectly, the world lacked vibrancy.

"Watch closely," Wu Yuan replied with a subtle smile.

The barren lands began to transform. Plants erupted across the terrain, rivers snaked through valleys, and oceans swelled into existence. Wu Yuan's profound mastery of the Law of Life, amplified by his qi refiner's powerful mana, animated the world effortlessly, conjuring life from the void.

The eight Astral Monarchs stood in amazement, though such displays had become routine over the past thousand years. They had grown accustomed to witnessing Wu Yuan's miraculous feats.

Then, a spark ignited in Wu Yuan's eyes. Hm? My body refiner self has finally understood a fraction of that Overlord-level technique.
