Chapter 1769 -1769: The Old Man’s Words, a Resolution
The Invincible Old Man chuckled and scolded, “You brat, do you really think the Cosmic Sea is just a sea?”
“Isn’t it?” Ye Feng was taken aback.
The Invincible Old Man saw his puzzled look and patiently explained, “The Cosmic Sea is said to be a sea, but in reality, it’s an incredibly massive tree.”
As he spoke, the old man gently waved his hand.
The next moment.
Ye Feng discovered that the incredibly massive Cosmic Sea suddenly shrank infinitely, finally becoming a towering ancient tree rooted in the old man’s courtyard, lush with foliage, each leaf a universe.
Ye Feng suddenly recalled something.
When his prestige points in the Misty Sect surpassed ten trillion, he received five lucky bags, one of which contained a broken leaf from the Cosmic Ancient Tree.
“I see! The reward I got last time was probably a leaf from the Cosmic Ancient Tree guarded by the Invincible Old Man.”
Ye Feng thought to himself.
“Do you understand now?”
The Invincible Old Man’s voice sounded.
“The entire Cosmic Sea is indeed the most miraculous ancient tree in the Origin Land, carrying infinite hope and primordial life, and is the foundation of the Origin Land.”
“Countless years ago, the Origin Land only had some innate top-tier life forms, appearing quite desolate.”
“Later, the Cosmic Ancient Tree was born.”
“On this tree could be nurtured countless bubbles of much lower rank than the Origin Land, within which existed the vast starry sky, which later came to be known as the Universe.”
“The universe continuously breeds new life, and some life forms cultivate to become strong enough to transcend the universe and ascend to the Ascension Pool of the Origin Land.”
“They cultivate in the Origin Land, and some even brought hundred-layered Immortal Emperors from the universe to live and proliferate in the Origin Land.”
“Thus, the Origin Land became increasingly prosperous.”
“By today, countless Origin Eras later, the development of the Origin Land has reached its peak, filled with strong entities, though there are weak ones too.”
“However, those born in the Origin Land are at least equivalent to a One-Turn Quasi-Saint in your Twin Universe, not mortals without cultivation level.”
At this point, the Invincible Old Man changed the topic.
“Since the Cosmic Sea is essentially a Cosmic Ancient Tree, any direction you fly in the Cosmic Sea will ultimately lead you to this courtyard, due to the Power of Space’s constraints.”
“Anyone from the Origin Continent must come to this courtyard to enter the Cosmic Sea. However, I have issued a ban; those of the Heavenly Dao Realm and above cannot enter the Cosmic Sea in their true form.”
“Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!”
As soon as the last three words were spoken, Ye Feng felt a chilling aura penetrating his soul, making even his Undying and Indestructible self feel a sense of unease.
“No wonder those like the Spirit Heavenly Immortal cannot enter the universe in their true form; it turns out they’re not allowed in.”
Ye Feng muttered to himself.
“By the way, senior, about those four top geniuses you mentioned earlier, leaving aside the first one, since the subsequent ones have traversed here in divine form, they should have known their talent would make them targets, so why did they still insist on ascending to the Origin Land?”
He posed this question.
The old man sighed, “They possess great pride and arrogance; although they know the path ahead poses mortal danger, they still forge ahead. It is for this reason that they are worthy of being called ‘geniuses’.”
Having said this, he looked at Ye Feng.
“You are also quite a genius, but I find you somewhat unorthodox and the path you take rather peculiar, having directly created a universe within yourself, and… even I don’t know where your universe is located.”
The old man said pensively.
Few people were beyond his perception.
This seemingly frail young man, Ye Feng, happened to be one of them.
This stark contrast greatly intrigued the old man.
“Does senior not know where my universe is?”
Ye Feng blinked.
“I only know you have a universe, but I don’t know its exact location. In principle, all universes should appear in the Cosmic Sea after their creation, even those self-created by top experts would appear here, except yours, which is very strange.”
The old man frowned slightly.
“I’m perplexed as well.”
Ye Feng scratched his head, not knowing why his universe wasn’t in the Cosmic Sea, but finding it preferable as he wouldn’t have to worry about anyone breaking it.
After all, the universe is his lifeline.
“Ah, by the way, since other top experts’ created universes also appear in the Cosmic Sea, aren’t they worried about their universes being broken by an enemy?”
Ye Feng pondered this downside.
“What do you think I’m here for?”
The Invincible Old Man gave Ye Feng a look, “Every universe within the Cosmic Sea is under my protection, but I never interfere in the internal disputes of the Cosmic Sea. If someone from outside the Cosmic Sea intervenes, I will eliminate them. If it’s a being from within the Cosmic Sea attacking a universe, I won’t interfere.”
Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.
“In this way, those top experts needn’t worry about their universes being shattered by enemies, but there’s still a risk from enemies inside the Cosmic Sea.”
He mumbled.
“It’s very unlikely,” the old man explained, “The universes created by those top experts are very sturdy, and they leave top-tier treasures within them. The strongest beings born in the Cosmic Sea are at most Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, incapable of shattering the universes created by such strong entities.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng agreed.
Such top experts are so formidable, how could they leave no backup for the universes they created?
Afterward, the two continued to chat idly.
The old man had indeed been lonely for too long, sitting alone on a wooden stump, talking as if he wasn’t speaking to Ye Feng beside him, but rather talking to himself.
Or perhaps, he was reminiscing about his own life.
Ye Feng didn’t know who this old man was.
Why was someone without a cultivation realm so powerful that few in the entire Origin Land could defeat him?
A half-hour later.
“Time is about up.”
At this moment, the old man looked at Ye Feng, “You should have just broken through to Eightieth-layered Immortal Emperor; when you reach Ninety-layered Immortal Emperor and Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, you’ll have two more opportunities for Enlightenment Divine Traversal, see you then.”
“I’ll definitely come chat with you, senior.”
Ye Feng chuckled.
“Senior, if one day I truly elevate my small universe to a Superior Universe and break through the Cosmic Sea alone, I’ll surely come find you for fishing.”
He added.
“The thought alone is enough.” The old man sighed gently, “Don’t forget, the Cosmic Sea is not tranquil; whether you can reach that step is still an unknown variable!”
Whoosh!
A gust of wind suddenly swept through the courtyard.
Ye Feng found that the Cosmic Ancient Tree behind him instantly turned back into an endless stretch of the Cosmic Sea, and he felt the gravitational pull emanating from it, dragging him into it.
Splash!
Ye Feng plunged into the water, feeling as if ice-cold water had splashed on his face, waking him instantly.
Opening his eyes, Ye Feng glanced around.
This was the starry sky of his small universe.
The Eightieth-layered Ultimate Body of the Demonic Clan corpse before him had been completely refined, leaving only the skeleton. Further away were the skeletons of the Eightieth-layered Mysterious Turtle and the Eighty-first-layered Dark Red Evil Dragon, yet to be absorbed and refined.
“I’m back?”
Ye Feng exhaled deeply.
This Enlightenment Divine Traversal was significantly meaningful, making him realize he couldn’t ascend directly to the Origin Land, lest he attract the attention of top experts.
Those people covet his body!
“It seems, I truly need to take the path of cultivating my internal universe to its utmost, firstly by evolving the small universe into a true Lower-grade Great Universe, Middle-grade Great Universe, then a High-grade Great Universe, and ultimately breaking out.”
Ye Feng resolved firmly.
