I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 2194: Chapter 979: A New Journey (Part 3)

This is the only, once-and-for-all method.

After a moment of silence, Han Yi asked, "How much time do I have left?"

With this question, he had already expressed his choice, and Lu was not surprised. Having been here for so long, he naturally saw clearly what happened inside this Source Cave.

"In one hundred Chaos Eras, the Hot Silence will appear."

"In three hundred Chaos Eras, the Hot Silence will destroy nearly half of the Source Cave spaces that contain life. The destroyed spaces will no longer have Chaos Realm born."

"This is the limit. If it’s dragged on further, there will be no need to restart the entire Source Cave."

Han Yi understood this was the ultimate time limit Lu could offer. He needed to cultivate to the Primordial Realm within three hundred Chaos Eras and refine the Five Elements Tianhe Pillar into a Source Cave Treasure.

He didn’t know if it was possible, but he would strive with everything he had to try.

"Palace Master, what exactly is the Heavenly River Mystic Pillar that I obtained?" He voiced the doubt that had long lingered in his heart.

Lu’s tone shifted slightly.

"The existence of Tianhe Palace has been exceedingly long, so long that even as the thirty-seventh generation Palace Master, I couldn’t trace the origins or whereabouts of the first generation Palace Master."

"As for the Heavenly River Mystic Pillar, this Supreme Treasure, I call them Heavenly River Armament. They were forged by the first generation Palace Master, containing the ultimate mysteries of the Wheel of Silence."

"This set of Supreme Treasure? Heavenly River Armament?" Han Yi’s expression changed.

"That’s right, the first generation Tianhe Palace Master left behind a set of Heavenly River Armament. Like the Heavenly River Mystic Pillar in your hands, or the Heavenly River Xuan Ding that my body bears, or the Heavenly River Xuan Tower possessed by the thirty-second generation Palace Master, and the Heavenly River Xuan Ruler owned by the nineteenth generation Palace Master."

"The basic requirement for inheriting the title of Tianhe Palace Master is to cultivate the Heavenly River Supreme Scripture and to practice this scripture to the seventh Chapter."

"When you visit Tianhe Palace later, you will understand these things."

Hearing these words, Han Yi was once again shaken.

One must know, he was currently only cultivating to the third Chapter of the "Heavenly River Supreme Scripture," while the fourth Chapter is the Primordial Realm. To cultivate to the seventh Chapter, three major Realms apart, one can imagine how profound the Realm of the Tianhe Palace Master is.

The Saint Master in the Source Cave was among the pinnacles of Cultivators, but outside the ’wall’, in the Wheel of Silence Space, because of the existence of Cold Silence, he didn’t even have the qualification to survive.

"Daoist, do you have any other questions?"

Han Yi thought for a moment, then suddenly recalled something and asked, "Several dozen Chaos Eras ago, there was a cultivator in this Source Cave who slashed open the Source Cave space with a knife. Did he succeed?"

What Han Yi referred to, of course, was Bai.

Back then, Bai wielded his knife wildly, and then vanished. Han Yi once suspected that Bai had successfully cut open the wall and reached outside it.

Lu shook his head.

"It’s not that easy."

"Without becoming a Primordial, when the Hot Silence arrives, all will be lost."

"Before my original body came to this place, he had already found countless Source Caves, but in the endless time, not a single Primordial was born from these Source Caves."

"I have faith in you, Daoist, because you possess the Supreme Treasure of Tianhe Palace and have cultivated the Supreme Scripture, giving you a chance to break through to Primordial."

Upon hearing this, Han Yi’s heart sank.

"Alright, Daoist must remember, you have only three hundred Chaos Eras."

"When the time is up, if you haven’t cultivated to Primordial, I will pull you out, let the Source Cave restart, and place you back in."

"If you cultivate to Primordial, then you can decide whether to stay or leave."

After saying these words, the illusory figure waved, and Han Yi felt his consciousness fall back down, instantly returning to the place where his original body resided.

He gazed around; the strangely burning flames and the extremely dark black aura intertwined together.

Everything in sight exuded an endless, overwhelming aura of destruction, suffocatingly oppressive.

As for the Fire Dragons, Tree Demons, and other anomalies that erupted when the Destruction Tribulation first erupted, they had long disappeared, transformed into the purest aura of destruction.

As for the Shadow of Loss, he could still sense it, in another part of the Five Elements Destruction Array, where the black aura condensed, lay the Shadow of Loss.

However, Han Yi could feel that the Shadow of Loss seemed to have stalled, no longer moving.

Looking down, he beheld a vast land, a land larger than any previous Holy Origin Land, even greater than the original White Continent.

This land was a conglomeration of all Holy Origin Lands pieced together in this No Origin Space.

Not far above this land, Han Yi saw some scattered Chaos Realms, including Tianhe and Tao Spirit.

And beneath the land, a broader scroll unfolded, supporting the land—it was the Five Elements Map.

The edges of the Five Elements Map also emitted a tremendous aura of destruction, colliding with the weird flames and dark aura outside the scroll, continuously annihilating and regenerating.

It was the emergence of the Five Elements Map that, together with the Five Elements Destruction Array and the Shadow of Loss, formed a Three-legged Fining Pot, making it impossible to restart the Source Cave.

"Three hundred Chaos Eras, this is all the time I have."

Han Yi’s heart was heavy as he looked around, seeing many familiar figures.

He saw the Ancestral God and the Tao God; the Ancestral God had achieved the form of Sealed Emperor, while the Tao God still presided over the Taoist Spirit Chaos Realm.

He saw the Ancestral God Star, the Ten Great Divine Clans still existed and became stronger, with Dongfang Hongye, the new Clan Leader of the Taichu Divine Race, having achieved the Eternal.

He saw Nangong Hao ascend to Peak Divine Sovereign, becoming the Taichu Ancient Seat.
