Swimming Against the River of Time

"Innate Yin-Yang Divine Light!"

Yang Jian involuntarily knew the name of this silver light.

Instantly, his Heavenly Eye opened, and the silver divine light raged forth, shaking heaven and earth.

The laws of order in the entire world began to surge wildly, and the heavenly secrets became instantly chaotic.

An incomparably terrifying divine light, as if splitting heaven and earth, divided the world into two.

The entire Heavenly Court, and even the Three Realms, were enveloped by the silver divine light.

The power of the Yin Yang Source Laws began to ravage heaven and earth, and the Source Laws of this world were uncontrollably drawn out.

Instantly, the laws of heaven and earth roared, and the sounds of the Dao resonated, leaving all beings in the Three Realms in a state of bewilderment, followed by shock and awe, filled with immense fear.

Especially the Six Sages of the Heavens, they were so shocked that they lost their Sage demeanor, completely abandoning their aloof posture of looking down upon all living beings.

Of course, despite the immense commotion, this was merely the final afterglow of the Heavenly Eye.

After all, that wisp of Yin Yang energy had already merged with the Heavenly Eye and adapted to the Source Laws of this world, its status directly lowered, and the divine light dissipated.

The Three Realms seemed to have returned to peace.

And the Heavenly Eye on Yang Jian's forehead also closed.

Yang Jian knew very well that although his Heavenly Eye had become much, much stronger, it no longer possessed the terrifying power it had moments ago; this was its final afterglow.

However, it also made Yang Jian deeply understand the terrifying level at which Bai Yu existed.

Furthermore, Yang Jian knew that because it had merged with the Heavenly Eye, the status of that wisp of Yin Yang energy had been lowered, seemingly to adapt to the Source Laws of this world.

It was a pity that this wisp of Yin Yang energy was in Yang Jian's hands, not Hongjun's. Otherwise, the Yin Yang Source Laws of this world might have undergone a transformation, just like in the High Martial World where Shi Yueyao resided.

"But it's still so terrifying, capable of fighting even a Sage..." Yang Jian clicked his tongue inwardly, muttering in surprise.

At this moment, the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Light within the Heavenly Eye, containing the Yin Yang Source Laws, had its status lowered, but it had directly reached perfection, equivalent to containing a complete Yin Yang Source Law.

In this world, to some extent, it could be considered Lawful Sanctification. It was a pity that Yang Jian could not fully unleash the power of the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Light, but it had made Yang Jian invincible below the Sage level with the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Light.

He could even contend with a Sage. Yes, if Yang Jian disregarded the consequences, he could forcibly unleash a Heavenly Eye divine light that rivaled a Sage's power.

Without paying further attention to the surprised and delighted Yang Jian, Bai Yu's eyes held a hint of indifference as he scanned the entire world again.

Although this world was the Lotus Lantern World, not the Primordial World, its origin could still be considered Primordial.

After all, the Six Sages of the Heavens and Ancestor Hongjun existed here, and even the great powers between heaven and earth were similar to those in the Primordial World.

Bai Yu's eyes emitted a dense divine light of laws, primarily the Source Law of Time at this moment.

With the Law of Time as the main focus and numerous other laws as support, he began to capture the Source Law of Time of this world, and then capture the River of Time of this world.

Very easily, Bai Yu saw the River of Time of this world, and then instantly vanished from his original spot, appearing within the River of Time.

This world was a Greater World, lacking a Source Great Dao, so the River of Time of this world could be completely suppressed and even controlled by Bai Yu.

With a thought from Bai Yu, the Source Laws flowed, and he directly went upstream against the River of Time.

The next moment, Bai Yu returned to the Investiture of the Gods period.

At this time, the Six Sages of the Heavens and Ancestor Hongjun had also reacted and entered the River of Time one after another.

The Six Sages of the Heavens could not go upstream against the River of Time and could only watch helplessly.

Hongjun glanced at the Six Sages of the Heavens and said, "An Extraterrestrial Saint has descended, capable of disregarding the Heavenly Dao's order to travel upstream against the River of Time. This shows their terror. You should first stabilize the Three Realms and investigate the previous law fluctuation incident."

After speaking, Hongjun, with the Jade Plate of Creation above his head and the mighty power of the Heavenly Dao, traveled upstream against the River of Time, leaving the Six Sages of the Heavens looking at each other in dismay.

When Bai Yu traveled upstream to the Witch-Demon Tribulation period, he stopped, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, Hongjun, with the Jade Plate of Creation above his head, appeared before Bai Yu.

"Fellow Daoist, why are you interfering with this world's River of Time?"

Hongjun looked at Bai Yu with vigilance, offered a greeting of equals, and spoke indifferently.

However, he was extremely shocked internally because he found that he could not see through this Extraterrestrial Saint at all. He only felt that this Extraterrestrial Saint was enveloped by Source Laws and surrounded by divine light.

Even more terrifyingly, he had comprehended and controlled more than one Source Law. The divine light of numerous Source Laws made Hongjun tremble with fear.

Possessing the Jade Plate of Creation and having merged with the Dao, Hongjun was, in this world, the sole supreme existence.

Because he had merged with the Dao, Hongjun could utilize all the Source Laws of this world. However, strictly speaking, this was merely borrowing, not that Hongjun himself had comprehended and controlled all the Source Laws.

Hongjun knew very well how difficult it was to control even one Source Law.

The path of Lawful Sanctification was an extremely arduous path to proving the Dao.

Yet, this Extraterrestrial Saint before him controlled so many Source Laws; it was simply unimaginable, simply appalling!

Furthermore, Hongjun clearly sensed that the Source Laws of the Extraterrestrial Saint before him were superior to the Source Laws of this world.

Thinking of this, Hongjun's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he might not be a match for this Extraterrestrial Saint.

And this was still on his home turf.

Therefore, Hongjun did not attack immediately. Otherwise, the mere act of Bai Yu traveling upstream against the River of Time and interfering with the past would have been enough for Hongjun to kill Bai Yu without hesitation.

"Rest assured, I will not destroy this world. I have come to this world solely to obtain a few spiritual roots," Bai Yu said to Hongjun, his expression indifferent and his tone casual.

Hongjun frowned and continued, "Fellow Daoist, which spiritual roots do you desire?"

"The Peach Tree of Immortality, the Bodhi Tree, the Ginseng Fruit Tree, the Fusang Tree, and the Yellow Zhong Plum."

That's right, Bai Yu had come to this world precisely for these five Innate Spiritual Roots of the Five Elements.

Although this world was only a Greater World, the Innate Spiritual Roots here were certainly not comparable to those in the Grand Primordial Cosmos.

There was no comparison whatsoever.

But Bai Yu had no other choice. He couldn't obtain the Five Elements Innate Spiritual Roots from the Grand Primordial Cosmos, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

Even though their status and grade were not on the same level, they could at least be considered of the same origin.

As long as he brought them back to the Grand Primordial Cosmos and carefully cultivated and nurtured them, replenishing their origins, even if they still couldn't compare to the Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial World, they should be quite close.

Of course, this was just Bai Yu's guess. As for the specifics, he would have to obtain these five Innate Spiritual Roots from this world first.
