The Fruits of Cultivation

In the Great Universe, there exists a Forbidden Secret Realm, so small it is only an inch in size, also known as the "Square Inch Ark."

Compared to the magnificent Forbidden Secret Realm such as the Abyss, Heavenly Cave, and Mount Wuliang, the "Square Inch Ark" is unusually low-key, but its influence ranks among the top three of the nine Forbidden Secret Realm.

Cultivators who comprehend the power of the Square Inch Ark are most adept at self-preservation and escape. Saint of the Square Inch Ark lineage are no less capable than mainstream Saint have comprehended the Supreme Rule of Space.

Su Yuan looked at the smiling middle-aged man not far away, and his mind quickly flashed through a lot of information about Square Inch Ark and its owner.

In a daze, a silver-white flying boat, no bigger than a palm, appeared in Su Yuan's mind.

The next moment, the tiny flying boat suddenly became towering and majestic, even more imposing than the Abyss or the Heavenly Cave.

"Square Inch Ark"

Su Yuan stopped thinking about it.

If I continue thinking about this, I'll be establishing a Causality relationship with the Lord of the Square Inch Ark.

Although the true form of that ship lord is located outside the Great Universe, even if Causality relationship is established, it cannot harm Su Yuan, but it would be easier for the other party to observe him.

"It seems Brother Su Yuan knows about my Square Inch Ark?"

The middle-aged man was also observing Su Yuan and spoke up.

Few beings know the true nature of the Forbidden Secret Realms of the Great Universe, and even cultivators and evolvers within the Forbidden Secret Realm lineage are quite ignorant about it.

"I know a little."

Su Yuan nodded.

Forbidden Secret Realm are "anchors" that the Supreme Being of the past Era of Great Destruction planted in the Boundless Void within the Great Universe to absorb and devour the primordial power of the cosmos.

The various Forbidden Secret Realm realms tirelessly pollute and assimilate cultivators and evolvers for this very purpose. In each Forbidden Secret Realm, cultivators and evolvers, while comprehending forbidden power, also absorb the power of the Great Universe to strengthen themselves.

This is exactly what the Supreme Being behind the Forbidden Secret Realm wants to see.

Limited by the repulsion of the Great Universe itself, the Supreme Being outside cannot directly absorb or devour any trace of the Great Universe's energy source.

However, it can be absorbed and devoured in this way.

Just as wolves cannot directly eat grass to fill their stomachs, but can satisfy their hunger by eating grass-eating cattle and sheep.

"The cultivators in your universe are too hostile towards us. In fact, I was also a cultivator in the universe back then, but faced with the Great Cataclysm, I could only follow my master to the Boundless Void. Once I went there, thousands of Era of Great Destruction have passed."

The middle-aged man spoke with a sigh.

Su Yuan remained silent upon hearing this.

In the great cataclysm at the end of the universe, only the transcendent Supreme Being of Chaos can survive and travel to the Boundless Void.

As for beings below the Supreme Being of Chaos, there is only one way to survive.

That is to actively integrate into the Inner Universe of the Supreme Being of Chaos, and completely become a life form within the Supreme Being's Inner Universe.

Thus, they are not considered beings of the Great Universe, but rather "private property" of the Supreme Being, and can therefore follow the Supreme Being to the Boundless Void.

Furthermore, since the rules within the Supreme Being's Inner Universe are entirely set by the Supreme Being, the so-called lifespan limit of billions of years for Cosmic Lifeform can naturally be ignored as long as the Supreme Being nods.

The middle-aged man is like that; with the body of Cosmic Lifeform, he has lived through thousands of Era of Great Destruction.

In other words, outside the universe, the middle-aged man witnessed the Great Universe being destroyed and reborn thousands of times.

Of course, merging into the Inner Universe the Supreme Being means that the upper limit is completely fixed, and any hope of going further is lost.

For example, the middle-aged man was Great Saint before he merged with the universe, and he is still Great Saint now. Moreover, the physical body he entered into the Great Universe is just an avatar, and he barely managed to enter with the help of the power of the Square Inch Ark.

"Ultimately, it's a matter of differing perspectives, both within and outside the universe."

Su Yuan spoke.

The Supreme Being of Chaos outside the universe feeds on the Saint within the universe to sustain itself.

If Great Saint in the universe can severely damage a Forbidden Secret Realm during his Ultimate Leap, it will increase the probability of him breaking through to become Chaotic Lifeform.

"Too."

The middle-aged man nodded.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

The middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan and asked, "Brother Su Yuan, would you be interested in cooperating?"

Tell me about it.

Su Yuan said.

In fact, Su Yuan already knew that the middle-aged man would come, and he even knew exactly how the other party wanted to cooperate.

However, this kind of thing can only happen when the other party brings it up themselves.

"A transaction should, naturally, satisfy both parties."

The middle-aged man got to the point, "My master can provide many secret techniques and forbidden knowledge from the Era of Great Destruction, which can help you Ultimate Leap more easily. Of course, to obtain these, you must provide my master with what he desires."

The middle-aged man paused, then continued, "I know that with your status among the Human Race, you shouldn't lack supreme-level secret techniques. 'Chu' will do everything possible to support your Ultimate Leap."

"But you must believe me," Chu said, "No matter how wealthy or learned you are, you cannot compare to my master. My master has lived through thousands of Era of Great Destruction, and the secret techniques and forbidden knowledge he possesses far surpass the imagination of your three Supreme Being Human Race. This is something that strength alone cannot compensate for."

Su Yuan didn't speak, he just listened.

That's true. Of the nine great Secret Realm World in the Great Universe, even the one with the shallowest foundation has gone through dozens or even nearly a hundred Era of Great Destruction.

While their strength may not be much greater than that of "Chu," the amount of secret techniques and forbidden knowledge they possess must be vast and boundless.

In fact, the Forbidden Secret Realm realms within the Great Universe are not only seeking cooperation and trade with Su Yuan; every Cosmic Lifeform on the mainstream path will receive a visit from the envoys of these Forbidden Secret Realm.

Behind each of the nine Secret Realm World lies Supreme Being, but these Supreme Being rarely act directly within the universe. Therefore, to exert influence over the Great Universe, one can only rely on life forms within the universe.

For example, those cultivators and evolvers who were corrupted and assimilated by the Forbidden Secret Realm, as well as newly emerging Cosmic Lifeform like Su Yuan.

The Supreme Being behind the Forbidden Secret Realm prefer to cooperate and trade with beings like Su Yuan, because with the potential Su Yuan has shown, he is destined to roam the stars. And the stronger one is, the more likely one is to complete some difficult cooperative transactions.

"And what my master wants is also very simple; there are two possibilities."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The first type is primordial treasures and rare gems, at least at the level of Cosmic Lifeform."

The middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan and said, "With your status, you should know what primordial treasures and rare gems are."

"Um."

Su Yuan nodded.

The so-called original treasures and rare gems mainly refer to those supreme treasures that are born from the universe itself.

These treasures contain immense primordial power of the universe. For those Supreme Being in the Boundless Void, devouring a single primordial treasure is far more useful than devouring hundreds or thousands of corrupted Saint.

The World Mother Tree within Su Yuan's Inner World can be considered a primordial treasure, as can the Chaos Tree held by the Dragon Ancestor.

Of the ten treasures that Su Yuan traded with the Great Sage Jitian, four could be considered primordial treasures.

The great explosion of primordial treasures and rare gems occurred during the creation of the world.

"The Primordial Divine Sword of your Human Race's 'beginning' was primarily forged from dozens of supreme-grade primordial treasures. If you can offer it to my master, you may make any request."

"That's what the middle-aged man said."

"The Primordial Divine Sword?"

Su Yuan glanced at the middle-aged man.

They really dared to ask for such an exorbitant amount.

"The second type," the middle-aged man paused, then continued, "Is to specifically establish a territory for cultivators and evolvers of my Square Inch Ark Zhou lineage to cultivate."

The essence of this matter is to provide the Supreme Being behind Square Inch Ark with "food" at the level of Saint.

In the Nine Great Secret Realm World, cultivators and evolvers of the same lineage, once they reach the Saint level, almost always end up being eaten.

The reason why it is necessary to cultivate to the Saint is that those below the level of Saint cannot catch the eye of the Supreme Being behind the Forbidden Secret Realm, nor can they play any role in making up for their shortcomings.

"There's no need to be averse to this kind of thing." The middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan. "Your Human Race's 'beginning,' wasn't it through cooperation with those two guys, the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave? Otherwise, how could the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire have been established?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Human Race the thirty-seven major Galactic Human Empire, the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire is the most unique, as it gathers a large number of cultivators from the Abyss Lineage and the Heavenly Cave Lineage.

Even its royal family members are like this.

"The Dongyou Galactic Human Empire."

Su Yuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

Countless ages ago, the Supreme Being "Chu" made too many compromises in order to help the Human Race rise and break free from the oppression of the God Race.

This includes cooperation with the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Heavenly Cave.

In the beginning, after the rise of the Human Race, a territory was established specifically to cultivate cultivators of the Abyss and Heavenly Cave lineages. In return, the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Heavenly Cave were invited to make a move in the Boundless Void outside the Great Universe.

It was that one move that caused the First God King of the God Race to be defeated, and the rise of the Human Race became unstoppable.

Actually, the concept of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire did not exist at the beginning.

Although the Supreme Being "Chu" ultimately fulfilled his promise, he never intended to establish an empire. In fact, he planned to place more alien races in this territory and let them cultivate the power of the Abyss Heavenly Cave.

After all, the content of the cooperative transaction only involves providing a territory, and there is no clear stipulation regarding whether it is for human cultivators to practice.

Until the appearance of the Founding Emperor of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire.

The Founding Emperor of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire, possessing the power of both the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave, made the impossible possible by achieving a balance between the power of the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave, forcibly blocking the repeated summons from the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave.

The founding emperor of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire also led the Supreme Being "Chu" to discover that cultivators and evolvers of the Forbidden Secret Realm's power were not necessarily "eaten."

In addition, the Supreme Being "Chu" agreed to the establishment of the Founding Emperor of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire.

The ultimate goal of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire is to create a method that can completely resist the summoning of the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave.

The founding emperor of the Dongyou Galactic Human Empire, though he blocked hundreds of summons, could not withstand the final one and was "devoured" by the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave.

"So, are you interested in collaborating?"

The middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan and asked.

"We can cooperate."

Su Yuan nodded.

The reason he let the middle-aged man talk so much was naturally because he had plans to cooperate.

"Oh? Which forbidden technique do you want? My Square Inch Ark has a technique that can forcibly merge with the origin of the Great Universe before the Ultimate Leap, allowing you to control the Ultimate Leap from the perspective of the Great Universe."

The middle-aged man immediately spoke.

The essence of this forbidden secret technique is to force oneself into a state of profound enlightenment.

"I don't want forbidden techniques, nor forbidden knowledge."

Su Yuan shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I want the owner of the Square Inch Ark Boat to grant me one request at some point in the future."

"What is it?" The middle-aged man immediately became interested.

For Cosmic Lifeform, the most important thing is their Ultimate Leap.

"We'll find out then," Su Yuan said.

He wanted the Lord of the Square Inch Ark to agree not to provide assistance to the Ancestral Land of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

In the near future, when Su Yuan begins his scheme against the Heavenly Phoenix, at the last moment, the clan leader will seek help from the Supreme Being behind the Forbidden Secret Realm.

The Supreme Being behind the Forbidden Secret Realm, though unlikely to directly intervene within the Great Universe and unleash a supreme-level attack.

Even if it's done indirectly, it's still a troublesome matter. That's why Su Yuan is here, cutting off the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's last resort.

"Interesting."

The middle-aged man scrutinized Su Yuan for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I will report your request to my master."

After saying these words, the middle-aged man vanished from the spot.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Clan."

Su Yuan fell into a brief moment of thought.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan is ultimately the power of the Phoenix Ancestor, who is the fourth Supreme Being in this Era of Great Destruction, and whose power and methods are unfathomable.

Even though Phoenix Ancestor is not in the universe at this moment, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan he left behind is still a behemoth.

To achieve one's goals within such a powerful force, one must consider various unforeseen variables.

As for the costs that would be incurred after cooperating with the Forbidden Secret Realm, Su Yuan naturally had ways to avoid them. He would neither provide original treasures and rare gems, nor open up a territory to cultivate Forbidden Lineage cultivators and evolvers.

The next six months.

Besides Square Inch Ark, other Forbidden Secret Realm realms such as the Abyss, the Heavenly Cave, and Mount Wuliang also sent envoys to visit Su Yuan and attempt to cooperate in trade.

Su Yuan received them all and maintained relationships with the various Forbidden Secret Realms.

After all, Su Yuan needed to utilize the Forbidden Secret Realm before plotting against the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, so it wasn't appropriate to offend them too much.

"More than half a year"

On Blue Star, Su Yuan opened his eyes and began to examine his gains over the past six months since becoming Cosmic Lifeform.

Deep within the sea of consciousness, a hazy Gray Mirror surged, revealing characters one by one.
