Chapter 201 - 200 Chaos Yuan Great Venerable?_i
immortal Emperor Tianyuan was right; Li Cheng was stumped!
Li Cheng rubbed his chin, aware that he mastered the most Fist Path laws. In theory, creating his own fist techniques was the most appropriate, as it would allow him to fully utilize the might of the Fist Path laws.
But Li Cheng suddenly realized that despite possessing tens of millions of Fist Path laws, he had no idea where to start in creating his own fist techniques.
Seeing Li Cheng’s perplexed look, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan couldn’t help but laugh, “Why not save yourself the time and give up on trying to create something new? With the laws and Fist Path rules you have mastered, you can completely achieve ‘One force breaks ten thousand laws.'”
“If you can break ten thousand laws with one force, why bother creating those fancy and excessive techniques?”
Li Cheng heard the subtlety in Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s words, which implied that he knew too few techniques and effectively had no foundation, hence his inability to create anything new.
Li Cheng laughed awkwardly and said, “If I have the chance, perhaps I could take a look at the Ancient Heavenly Book or the Wordless Heavenly Scripture. Maybe 1 could glean some powerful techniques from them.”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head, “The ten great heavenly books are all distinct. The Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture is ranked first, yet half of it has been lost. The Ancient Heavenly Book is ranked third; its true form is a stele, and one usually comprehends various techniques from it.”
“The Wordless Heavenly Scripture is ranked tenth, its true form being a stone sword, from which one comprehends swordsmanship and sword techniques, but both are in the Immortal World.”
Hearing what Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said made Li Cheng curious. “Then what is the true form of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture?”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head again, “I don’t know. The only person who has seen the true form of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture since ancient times is the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable!
Chaos Yuan Great Venerable?
Li Cheng became even more curious. It was only the second time he had heard someone addressed with the title ‘Great Venerable.’
“Only the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable has seen the true form of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture? So, was the technique passed down by him? Could it be that he gleaned it from there? Or is the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture itself simply a technique?”
Li Cheng had learned that the so-called ten great heavenly books were not all books!
They were special in their existence, enabling comprehension of various cultivation techniques, secret techniques, and so forth, which is why they were referred to as heavenly books.
■■I’ve had the same doubts as you. My understanding is that, like the other heavenly books, the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture is some kind of object, and what we cultivate are the techniques comprehended by the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable from it!” said Immortal Emperor Tianyuan.
Li Cheng nodded, understanding^. It seemed that, according to Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture hadn’t been seen by anyone since the Great Venerable.
Perhaps others had seen it, but they didn’t recognize it as the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture.
“Was the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable listed among the ten great eccentrics?” Li Cheng asked further.
“The ten great eccentrics you refer to are specific to the Kunlun Realm; the
Chaos Yuan Great Venerable is not from the Kunlun Realm.
Li Cheng recalled hearing from Feng Wanli that the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture was created by a predecessor from the Kunlun Realm. It appeared he knew nothing about it and had merely been repeating what he had heard.
Since the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable wasn’t from the Kunlun Realm, yet had cultivated the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture passed down there, it was most likely, as they had speculated, that the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture was more than just a simple technique.
“What era did the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable come from? How powerful was he?” Li Cheng asked again.
“Billions of years ago, from the early period of this era, a bit earlier than the Blunt Empty Venerable.” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered, then added, “As for his power, legend has it that he broke free from the Order of Heaven and Earth’s constraints, reaching the legendary God Realm.
“But nobody has seen it; it’s only a legend, unclear.
Li Cheng nodded. Indeed, if the legends said that the era’s order was incomplete and one couldn’t transcend the Immortal Realm to become a god, yet there was also a legend that the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable had become a god, this was already contradictory.
Unless the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable had found a way to complete the order or to complete the laws he had comprehended.
“Do you believe in deities?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan suddenly asked. Li Cheng was startled, “Didn’t senior say that by comprehending 129,600 of a certain Law, one could become a god? Why ask this question again?
“I did say so, and I believe it, but do you?” smiled Immortal Emperor Tianyuan. Li Cheng nodded, “There must be gods. Just as there is a sky beyond the sky, and people beyond people, perhaps above the Immortal World there is a Divine Realm. Who knows, maybe the Cultivation ranks in the Divine Realm are also Heaven God, True God, and so on, with the Divine Emperor at the pinnacle.” “Cultivation has no limits! And who’s to say that above the Divine Realm there aren’t Supreme Beings or Saints or the like? Who knows!”
Having read plenty of novels before traversing to this Cultivation World, Li Cheng could certainly concoct more in his imagination.
This time, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was taken aback, pondering Li Cheng’s words, remaining silent for a long time.
“Cultivation has no limits…”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan kept repeating this phrase. After a while, he steadied his mind and let out a long sigh, “You lad, you have some bold ideas!” Li Cheng shrugged, “Leaving aside the Saints and Supreme Beings, let’s talk about gods. Senior, do you think Immortal Emperors have the power to change the Order of Heaven and Earth?”
“No, right? Then why could one cultivate up to Immortal Emperor and even reach the legendary Divine Realm in the last era of Kunlun Realm without facing Tribulation or ascending? Why now, when one reaches Completion at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, must they face the Tribulation and ascend to the Immortal World? Who changed this order?”
“The Order of Heaven and Earth naturally changes on its own!” declared Immortal Emperor Tianyuan with certainty.
Li Cheng smiled, “The Kunlun Realm hides countless Ancient Ruins; did Heaven and Earth hide them, too? Could it be that deities changed the Order of Heaven and Earth and intentionally concealed those regions, preparing for something?”
Immortal Emperor Tianyuan furrowed his brow. Born in the Immortal Realm, his thoughts were bound to this world, unlike Li Cheng who had crossed over and could speculate boldly.
This theory brought doubt to Immortal Emperor Tianyuan!
Li Cheng’s face bore a smile, without rushing to say more, just as before his crossing over, it was said that the end of science leads to theological speculation!
Some say that everything in the universe is predetermined, and others claim the world is data.
Some even wonder if their poverty is because nobody has burned offering money for them…
In short, it’s fine to think boldly, after all, it’s not like it would lead to anything concrete.
“Hearing you say this, I do now affirm the existence of the Divine Realm, and perhaps, just as you say, it’s deities that are orchestrating the shift of eras, governing the Order of Heaven and Earth.”
“If I may think even more boldly, I suddenly feel that the Immortal Realm we live in, as well as the countless Cultivation Worlds, might just be part of someone else’s Divine World!” said Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, sighing deeply.
Li Cheng was somewhat surprised; Immortal Emperor Tianyuan’s thoughts had suddenly become very bold!
After composing himself, Li Cheng said with a smile, “How powerful must a god be to create such vast every realm? It could be an existence that transcends the Divine Realm!”
immortal Emperor Tianyuan smiled, “It’s fine to think about these things, but don’t speak carelessly, as it can easily trigger turmoil in the Cultivation World.” Li Cheng shrugged, ”1 was just jesting. But wait and see, 1 will surely step into that legendary Divine Realm, and then I will naturally come to know.” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan was about to nod when he suddenly changed his expression and hurriedly scanned his surroundings.
Li Cheng also frowned, standing up to scan his surroundings, “It seems we’ve courted great trouble!”
