Chapter 832: The Contest For Providence (1)

Why would Eldritch Court geniuses suddenly pay a visit? Wu Yuan frowned slightly. I'll know when I see Master later. It won't affect my qi refiner self anyway.

Every thousand years, the Taiyuan Divine Court gathers a batch of imprint bearers from thousands of macrocosms under its control and sends them to the Spacetime Island. Wu Yuan mused. There’s only a few decades left till the next batch arrives. I'll meet Grandmaster Bei You then.

There’s no need to return to the Spacetime Island. My true self and mana body can split up and wander the Dao Realm separately. Wu Yuan decided. There are still many Dao Master battle relic sites that my mana body hasn't fully comprehended.

Once I leave the Dao Realm this time, I won’t be able to return unless I become a supreme being.

At this point, Wu Yuan's qi refiner self could now walk through the Dao Realm without any fear.

Firstly, Wu Yuan was already powerful enough that ordinary dangers posed no threat to him.

Secondly, upon becoming a Dao Master successor and arriving at the Snowlight Mist Realm, he sensed that he had acquired a trace of the Dao Realm's essence, empowering him in some mysterious way.

At the very least, he now feared nothing below the Sovereign level.

Even if I do encounter great danger, I can immediately notify the three Sovereign Custodians. Wu Yuan thought to himself.

Additionally, Wu Yuan's upgraded teleportation array permissions allowed him to return to Spacetime Island at any moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Wu Yuan's true self carried numerous treasures, including the Black Devil Blood Hollow, the Myriad Stars Celestial Chain, and more.

His mana body, on the other hand, only carried the Hundred Swords Silver River and some ordinary treasures.

For artifacts like the Hundred Swords Silver River, it would take Wu Yuan a long time to decipher them to his satisfaction.

There are still thousands of years until the Megaverse Crossroads opens. By then, my mana body should be able to wield the power of the Hundred Swords Silver River to a basic degree. Wu Yuan mused.

On another front, his qi refiner self had also begun to refine the Space Essence Stone gifted by Sovereign Lan Yan in an effort to propel the evolution of his lifebound flying swords.

Back in the Snowlight Mist Realm battle, if my true self hadn't used the nine lifebound flying swords, allowing my true self's power to far surpass my mana body, I wouldn't have been able to sweep through hundreds of Astral Lords. Wu Yuan recalled with anticipation. At that time, the lifebound flying swords were only low-grade celestial artifacts.

If the lifebound flying swords evolve along the optimal evolution pathway to high-grade celestial artifacts, by the time the Megaverse Crossroads open, they would certainly rank among the top-tier offensive artifacts even among the countless geniuses of the entire megaverse.

Below the supreme level, the most formidable killing artifacts were all lifebound flying swords at the level of high-grade Dao Instruments.

And in the broad category of mortal life, the strongest offensive artifacts were lifebound flying swords that had been upgraded via the optimal evolution pathway into high-grade celestial artifacts.

Moreover, Wu Yuan had a full set of nine.

The only concern is time. With less than six thousand years left, I wonder how many I can successfully upgrade. Wu Yuan pondered.

Upgrading lifebound treasures was like cultivating mana, both took increasingly longer as one progressed.

Let's go. Wu Yuan's qi refiner self and mana body vanished from the Core Region of the Snowlight Mist Realm, taking different routes.

...

Wu Yuan's qi refiner self and mana body embarked on their final tour of the Spacetime Dao Realm along different paths.

Meanwhile, in the Greenridge Macrocosm, on the Cang Feng Continent, in Sovereign Kua Chi’s temple.

Sovereign Kua Chi sat in lotus position atop a jade platform.

“Master.” A black-robed figure entered the hall, his demeanor reserved, emanating a powerful vital aura.

It was Wu Yuan's ether body.@@@@

"You're here. Please, sit," Sovereign Kua Chi said with a smile, secretly observing Wu Yuan.

He found Wu Yuan increasingly inscrutable. Earlier, when Wu Yuan's qi refiner self received the Spacetime Dao Master's inheritance, his body refiner self had also undergone a strange transformation.

However, seeing that Wu Yuan was safe and unharmed, Sovereign Kua Chi and Sovereign Cang Feng had not interfered.

Only after Wu Yuan awoke did the two Sovereigns depart, without ever questioning him about it.

"Master." A thought suddenly flashed through Wu Yuan's mind. "Does the Immortal Court have branches in all thirty-six hospitable universes?"

"No," Sovereign Kua Chi shook his head.

Wu Yuan felt relieved.

"The Immortal Court only fully occupies one hospitable universe," Sovereign Kua Chi continued. "At the same time, they have branches in the other thirty-four hospitable universes.

The only universe they do not have a branch in is the one hospitable universe fully occupied by our Eldritch Court.

In the entire megaverse, among the many great powers, only the Immortal Court and our Eldritch Court fully occupy a hospitable universe each," Sovereign Kua Chi said with pride.

"Other forces at the level of Saintdom are far inferior. This is why the Immortal Court and Eldritch Court are recognized as the two greatest factions," Sovereign Kua Chi stated.

Wu Yuan held his breath as he listened.

Fully occupying an entire hospitable universe? A single hospitable universe had at least seven or eight thousand macrocosms, and they occupied all of them?

Without internal strife, and with supreme existences to guide them, how many powerhouses would emerge over the long years? And the two greatest factions each had branches in the other thirty-four universes as well?

Truly worthy of being called the two mightiest factions. No wonder so many Saintdoms were reluctant to provoke them.

"In each hospitable universe, the factions established by supreme beings are known as Saintdoms," Sovereign Kua Chi explained. "In our Ling Jiang Universe, there are twelve Saintdom factions."

"Twelve Saintdom factions?" Wu Yuan pondered.

This meant that in the entire Ling Jiang Universe he inhabited, there were at least twelve supreme beings?

"The most powerful is the Desolation Divine Court, which occupies the largest territory," Sovereign Kua Chi continued. "Next are the Immortal Court's Ling Jiang Saintdom and our Eldritch Court's Ling Jiang Saintdom.

There are also seven other Saintdom factions, including the Taiyuan Divine Court, Eight Mountains Alliance, and Nine Phoenix Alliance, all of which control extensive territories and strive to extend their influence into various macrocosms."

Wu Yuan listened intently.

He was familiar with these factions to varying degrees. Among the Greenridge Macrocosm's seven major factions, apart from the Greenridge Immortal World, the other six major factions all had the shadow of various Saintdoms behind them.

"Wait a moment. Master, that's only ten Saintdoms," Wu Yuan couldn't help but point out. "What about the other two?"

"The other two major Saintdom factions are the Immutable Land and the Spacetime Dao Realm," Sovereign Kua Chi said, looking at Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan was taken aback. The Immutable Land? The Spacetime Dao Realm?

"The True Saint behind the Immutable Land established it and occupied vast territories. Powerhouses from other factions cannot enter that mysterious region," Sovereign Kua Chi explained.

"Only some juniors can enter with the Immutable Tokens. Apart from a few Sovereigns and Overlords who venture out to explore, there are no traces of ordinary powerhouses from the Immutable Land. Thus, the Immutable Land remains very mysterious," Sovereign Kua Chi concluded.

Wu Yuan nodded in understanding. So that's how it was.

"The Spacetime Dao Realm is the most special of all," Sovereign Kua Chi continued. "The Spacetime Dao Master is unimaginably powerful. Legend has it that he is the number one powerhouse in the Ling Jiang Universe.

Of course, I dare not confirm this. Supreme beings are far beyond my level, so it's merely hearsay.

But one thing is certain: the Spacetime Dao Master has no interest in conquering territories. He only established a single Spacetime Dao Realm, which has produced very few Sovereigns, far fewer than other Saintdom factions.

He created the Spacetime Island, willing to nurture young geniuses from various Saintdom factions. As a result, no faction wishes to offend the Spacetime Dao Realm. Instead, they send numerous geniuses, hoping to curry favor with the Spacetime Dao Master," Sovereign Kua Chi explained.

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

In the entire universe, among the twelve Saintdom factions, many had their own characteristics.

However, while the Spacetime Dao Master appears to do nothing, he has secretly nurtured supreme beings—something many super powerhouses are likely unaware of. Wu Yuan thought to himself.

Doing nothing, not seeking to conquer. Yet possessing immense personal strength. Naturally, this made many Saintdom factions unwilling to offend the Spacetime Dao Master.
