You're Only at the Tenth Stage?
"What you need to be careful about, Your Excellency, is that Ancestor Wujie has two close friends,"
"They are frequent visitors, all experts at the Supreme Primordial Unity Realm. One of them is named..."
The hunchbacked old Daoist priest recounted everything he knew in great detail, as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
"Understood."
Lin Yunji nodded.
He now basically knows everything he wanted to know.
"Oh, right, there's one more question."
Suddenly, another question arose in Lin Yunji's mind.
"Why did it take 20,000 years after the Devil Master's death for Ancestor Wujie to send you here?"
Why doesn't he come himself?
Lin Yunji was also a little puzzled by this.
"That's easy."
The hunchbacked old Daoist priest said quite naturally,
"Although the Source Realm is merely a large fragment left behind after the original Hongmeng World shattered,"
"It's nowhere near as good as the original Hongmeng World,"
"Even so, the Source Realm is still incredibly vast."
"The great world you inhabit is still in its nascent stage, having only recently come to be a great world."
"If it truly grows, this world should be able to expand more than ten thousand times."
"And the Source Realm, even if you add up billions of mature great worlds, is probably not as large as it."
"A vast world, compared to the Source Realm,"
"At most, it can only be considered a leaf on a towering tree."
"However, although the Source Realm is vast, it is occupied by numerous Venerable Ones."
"Some of these Supreme had already achieved Supreme before the Source Realm was destroyed."
"Some of them became supreme Supreme only after the destruction of the Source Realm."
"And some, like you, are in the void Chaos outside the Source Realm,"
"Or perhaps one cultivates to the level of a Venerable One in a great world, and then travels to the Source Realm."
In short, the various powers are deeply entrenched and intertwined.
"Moreover, those who can cultivate to the level of Supreme require far more than just great perseverance, great wisdom, and great fortuitous opportunity,"
"A rare talent, unparalleled even in the entire Chaos universe."
Therefore, having reached this level, how could one willingly submit to others?
"Supreme, Supreme, unrivaled, all things submit to you!"
"Without such a belief that stands proudly amidst Chaos,"
"It's utterly impossible to cultivate to the level of a Venerable One, to control the world, to have all realms pay homage, and for one's words to become law!"
"Within the Source Realm, the Supreme Beings each have their own territory."
"Generally, there should be no mutual aggression, but nothing is absolute."
"Each Supreme being has their own lineage, and having a lineage means having subordinates and disciples."
"Furthermore, resources are especially important in cultivation."
"The Source Realm is rich in all kinds of resources, but no one can have too many good things."
Therefore, it was common for various forces to fight each other.
"The infighting among disciples is something the Supreme Beings tacitly approve of."
"Sometimes things get really big, and even Supreme from different factions will get involved and have a showdown."
"Under the command of Ancestor Wujie, there are quite a few subordinates and disciples at the Hunyuan Great Dao Sage realm,"
"But the Devil Master is already one of the more outstanding ones among them."
"Moreover, he was born with a Primordial Expanse Spirit Treasure, the Devil Cosmos Sword."
"Those with higher cultivation levels than him, those above the Eighth-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage, are truly extremely rare."
"Most of them also have missions to fulfill, requiring them to guard various regions and restrain other forces,"
"Many of the rest are also in seclusion for cultivation; I only recently emerged from seclusion myself."
"As for Ancestor Wujie himself, if he leaves the Source Realm, other forces will surely know,"
"When the time comes, they will all come to attack, and once he sets out, the news of the Chaos Pearl will be impossible to keep secret."
"Although the Chaos Pearl is merely Chaos Supreme Treasure, it is rumored that there are many of these pearls."
"Furthermore, different Chaos Pearl can be stored and fused together."
"There has always been a legend in the Source Realm,"
"If we can gather all the Chaos Pearl, we can create a new Hongmeng World!"
"Although this is just a legend, within the Source Realm,"
"Indeed, many Supreme are secretly collecting Chaos Pearl."
"And once Chaos Pearl appears, the Supreme from all sides of the Source Realm will often try to obtain it."
"Sometimes, powerful beings would even fight to the death for a single Chaos Pearl!"
"In your Primordial World, Chaos Pearl has been born."
"Naturally, Ancestor Wujie wouldn't want such news to leak out."
"If the other Supreme find out, things will become very troublesome."
"I see."
Lin Yunji nodded.
And in his heart, he felt somewhat relieved.
No wonder the Devil Master, even with the Primordial Expanse Spirit Treasure Devil Cosmos Sword, is still so interested in the Chaos Pearl.
Even Supreme like the Ancestor Wujie desired to obtain this item.
However, according to this theory, if news of the Chaos Pearl were to leak...
If the other Supreme of the Source Realm knew this, there would likely be many more who would come to seize it.
If it really comes to that, things will likely become even more complicated.
Fortunately, the news of the Chaos Pearl will certainly not leak out, as long Ancestor Wujie.
"You can stay here for now."
Lin Yunji said to the hunched old Daoist priest.
"I will obey the decree."
The hunchbacked old Daoist priest quickly said, and at the same time, he felt a complete sense of relief.
If Lin Yunji said that, it meant he wouldn't take his life.
"By the way, what is your Daoist name?"
Lin Yunji asked the hunched old Daoist priest.
"The old Daoist's Daoist name is Bailou; he attained Daoism from a coiled-up girl in the Source Realm."
He achieved sainthood before the destruction of the Source Realm Source Realm, and at the time of its destruction, he miraculously survived.
"My current Daoxing is the Tenth-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage!"
"That's what the hunchbacked old Daoist priest replied."
"Tenth-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage,"
"Hehe, then you're just like me."
Lin Yunji chuckled.
He only said it casually, but when it reached the ears of the Old Daoist Bailou, it made his eyes almost pop out.
He looked at Lin Yunji with an incredulous expression, clearly questioning whether he was lying.
Why would I lie to you?
"My current cultivation level is indeed only at the Tenth-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage."
Lin Yunji said casually.
Since the fifth level of the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda opened thousands of years ago,
Lin Yunji's cultivation level had indeed only increased by two minor realms.
He advanced from the Eighth-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage to the Tenth-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage.
The reason why only two minor realms were improved is
Firstly, it's because of the breakthrough in realm that comes with Hunyuan Great Dao Sage.
The Exchange Points required increases exponentially.
To break through to the eighth level, only 300 billion Breakthrough Points are needed.
To break through to the ninth level, the required Breakthrough Points have already reached three trillion!
That translates to 30 billion in Exchange Points and Faith Points!
As for breaking through the tenth level and reaching the eleventh level, it would require tens of trillions of Breakthrough Points!
If converted to Exchange Points and Faith Points, that's 100 billion!
At his current rate of acquiring Exchange Points and Faith Points, it would take him several thousand years to accumulate enough.
However, compared to others, they gradually improved through arduous practice.
It's already incredible that Lin Yunji was able to break through in just a few thousand years.
For Sage, a thousand years is but a blink of an eye.
As for the Hunyuan Great Dao Sage, or even the Supreme Primordial Unity...
What is a thousand years? Ten thousand years is but a fleeting moment.
Like the Old Daoist Baiquan, he attained enlightenment before the Source Realm shattered.
Now, countless eons have passed since the Source Realm shattered.
He had only cultivated to the Tenth-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage.
