Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 606 The Emperor Arrives!

Originating on the continent, in the ancient kingdom of Yanfeng, in the capital of Yan.

After accepting the wanted notice, the Purple Moon Ancestor used the causal teleportation array of the Flame Wind Guild to arrive at the capital of the Emperor Flame lineage.

As he walked toward the Emperor Flame Palace, his initial excitement turned into unease.

"Could I have made a mistake?"

Although the name "Shiyuan" is indeed related to Chen Yuan, the wanted poster only lists the Eternal True God, whose strength is far inferior to Chen Yuan's.

"If it's just a coincidence—then wouldn't I be deceiving the Emperor?"

The thought of the consequences sent a chill down Ziyue's spine.

You must know, that was an ancient emperor, the pinnacle of existence on the entire Origin Continent!

Before the Emperor, he, a mere Void True God, was like an ant; the Emperor could kill him countless times with a single breath.

"If the Emperor discovers it's fake news, I'm doomed."

Zi Yue took a deep breath. "But if I just sit here and wait to die, and Chen Yuan finds my true form, I'll die anyway!"

"Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well take a gamble!"

This is why he resolutely accepted the bounty after discovering the wanted poster.

Soon, Ziyue suppressed all her unease and walked into the imperial palace with a blank expression.

In fact, Di Yan did not expect that the arrest warrant he issued would actually be effective.

However, the one who brought him the news was actually just the Void God?

Looking at the respectfully bowing Ziyue in the main hall, Di Yan said calmly, "Do you have news of the Primordial God Lord?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Having come this far, Zi Yue no longer cared whether the news was true or false. Even if it was false, he would treat it as true and would use the Emperor's hand to eliminate the Primordial Ancestor no matter what.

"Tell me what you know."

"Yes, sir." Zi Yue replied respectfully, "When I saw the wanted poster, I discovered that the wanted person's name was the Primordial Divine Lord."

"And the name 'Shiyuan' happens to be related to a powerful figure from my hometown."

"A powerful figure from your hometown?" Di Yan frowned slightly. "The Cosmic Sea?"

"That's right."

Hearing this, Di Yan was already somewhat disappointed, after all, his purpose in seeking out the Primordial God was for the secret treasure that the other party seemed to possess, which could cultivate various resources.

Such a treasure could not possibly have come from a barren place like the Cosmic Sea.

"Could there be a mistake? Or is it just a coincidence?"

Although he thought this way, Di Yan was still prepared to listen, so he said calmly, "Continue."

"This powerful figure's real name is Chen Yuan. He is exceptionally strong and rose to prominence in a very short time. He is revered as the Primordial Ancestor in the Cosmic Sea."

"However, in the early stages of his cultivation, he possessed a palace-like treasure called the Primordial Palace, hence he was also known as the Master of the Primordial Palace in the early days."

"About a hundred epochs ago, the opponent broke through from the True God realm all the way up—"

"Wait a minute." Di Yan waved his hand to interrupt, frowning as he said, "So, this Chen Yuan was only at the True God realm a hundred epochs ago?"

Ziyue nodded.

"That must be a mistake." Di Yan shook his head. "The Primordial God I'm after was already active on the Origin Continent more than two hundred days ago. He couldn't have been a True God back then."

The two hundred-plus days that originated on the continent translates to more than two hundred epochs in the time of the cosmic sea.

If Chen Yuan, as the other party mentioned, was merely a true god a hundred epochs ago, then it would be almost impossible for him to have walked on the Origin Continent as an eternal true god more than two hundred epochs ago.

Thinking of this, Di Yan glanced at Zi Yue: "Considering your positive attitude, I won't hold this false information against you. You can leave now."

After all, he personally issued the wanted notice, and the high reward would inevitably attract opportunists. He couldn't possibly kill all of them, otherwise who would dare to report it later?

At this moment, Zi Yue was also conflicted, because he felt that this was the only chance to kill Chen Yuan. If he gave up now, he would most likely still die in the future.

Just then, a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly looked up: "Smuggling! He can smuggle himself in!"

"Your Majesty, Chen Yuan has a soul servant who broke through to the Void True God realm more than two hundred epochs ago!"

"Given the sturdiness of the Primordial Palace, it was more than capable of supporting the two of them safely traversing the Reincarnation Passage, and the timing perfectly coincided with the period of Primordial God's activity on the Origin Continent!"

Di Yan shook his head, still not believing: "No matter what you say, Chen Yuan in your words is only a true god, while Shi Yuan Divine Lord is an eternal true god. There is too much difference between them."

"Alright, I have seen your loyalty, and I will reward you. Now you may leave."

"Your Majesty—" Zi Yue hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopped.

"Hmm?" Di Yan looked over, and the invisible pressure made Zi Yue break out in a cold sweat, making him dare not disobey.

But Zi Yue gritted her teeth and quickly transmitted her voice: "Your Majesty, Chen Yuan broke through from True God to Chaos Ruler a hundred epochs ago, and then broke through to God King again nearly ten epochs ago, which shows that he has accumulated a lot of experience."

He blurted out all of Chen Yuan's information in one breath, fearing that if he spoke too slowly, he would be expelled by Di Yan.

Upon hearing this, Di Yan finally became serious: "You're saying he directly broke through from True God to Chaos Ruler? And then in less than a hundred days became a God King?"

"That's right." Zi Yue bowed respectfully.

Di Yan did not speak, but fell into deep thought.

He glanced at Ziyue kneeling below and thought to himself that she wouldn't lie to him, let alone such an exaggerated lie.

Assuming what the other party said is true—Chen Yuan broke through to the Chaos Ruler realm more than a hundred days ago, while the Primordial God Lord was active more than two hundred days ago, at which time the other party clearly had not yet mastered the Chaos Laws.

In other words, more than two hundred days ago, Chen Yuan in that cosmic sea was most likely also at the level of an Eternal True God, but he was just suppressing his breakthrough.

Furthermore, the timeframe mentioned by Ziyue regarding "smuggling" coincides with the period after the Primordial God Lord appeared.

In Di Yan's eyes, Chen Yuan's figure gradually overlapped with that of the Primordial God Lord.

"—You're right, it's too much of a coincidence."

Di Yan glanced at Zi Yue, who was still kneeling, and said indifferently, "Get up. Tell me more about Chen Yuan. Where is he now?"

Zi Yue stood up and then respectfully said, "I don't know the location of Chen Yuan's main body, but it's most likely within the Cosmic Sea, because—"

He told Di Yan about the strange events that had recently occurred in the Cosmic Sea, and then said, "I think such a massive formation is beyond the capabilities of a mere divine avatar; it must be the power of a God-King to encompass all life in the universe."

"Accepting life from the cosmic ocean? Interesting. Could it be some kind of secret treasure—like a miniature source world?"

Di Yan was clearly intrigued, even somewhat tempted.

At this moment, he finally made up his mind. Even if the other party had nothing to do with the Primordial God, this secret treasure, which was suspected to be a miniature source world, was enough for him to take action personally.

"You've done very well." Di Yan nodded in satisfaction. "Go now. I will personally go to the Cosmic Sea. If what you said is true, I will reward you handsomely when I return."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yue felt reassured and excitedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! May Your Majesty return victorious!"

"Chen Yuan, with the Emperor himself taking action this time, let's see if you can survive!"

He muttered to himself, "If anyone's to blame, it's you. You're too outstanding, forcing me to rely on external forces."

Subsequently, under the arrangement of the guards, Ziyue temporarily settled in Yandu to await news from the Emperor.

As for Di Yan himself, he did not rush to the Cosmic Sea. Instead, he notified Di Wu and Di tide. After all, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. The three of them are inseparable and always act together in similar situations.

After several days of preparation, the three emperors arrived at the border of the Origin Continent.

"Big brother, are you sure the information is correct?"

Di Wu gazed at the cosmic sea ahead, somewhat puzzled: "The Primordial God Lord is actually hiding in the cosmic sea? No wonder we haven't found anything after searching for so many days."

"It may not be the Primordial God-King, but it's still a big fish."

Upon arriving here, Di Yan finally revealed the truth to his companions, telling Di Wu and Di tide about the information and speculations regarding Chen Yuan.

"So that's how it is. I never imagined that a god-king was hidden in such a small cosmic sea."

Di tide nodded slightly: "No wonder you borrowed the Karma Disc from your clan. To search for a God-King beyond the protective barrier of the Cosmic Sea, you need this Karma Treasure."

If it weren't for this secret treasure, the three of them would have set off long ago.

"After all, the primordial universe has three thousand dimensions, and searching for them one by one would be too troublesome." Di Yan shook his head. "I'm afraid that things might change if we wait too long. That God King named Chen Yuan is cultivating too fast."

Upon hearing this, Di Wu and Di tide exchanged a glance and both nodded, agreeing that this was indeed the case.

In just over two hundred days, he cultivated from a primordial universe life form to the God King realm, which is astonishing even in the Origin Continent. Even an Emperor who had to rebuild his cultivation could not have done it so quickly.

This is beyond the reach of talent.

Therefore, the three of them were also quite excited, because it meant that the other party must have a very powerful secret treasure, otherwise he could not have cultivated so quickly.

Suddenly, a wheel shimmering with a faint golden light appeared in Di Yan's hand. He infused it with divine power, and the wheel instantly shone brightly.

Di Yan closed his eyes and communicated with the secret treasure, inputting the information he obtained from Zi Yue into this causal disk, and using this information to search the heavens and earth to find the other party's true location.

After a while.

"Found it!" Di Yan opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It really is in the Cosmic Sea. Di tide, little sister, come with me."

After saying that, he took the lead and flew into the depths of the Cosmic Sea, while Di tide and Di Wu did not hesitate and followed closely behind Di Yan into the Cosmic Sea.

Meanwhile, within the Primordial World.

Chen Yuan, who had been in seclusion for many years, opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light: "After spending more than 100,000 epochs, I have finally cultivated the 'Geometry Method' to the second level."

The second level, "Geometric Method," even if it's just the initial stage, represents the fusion of two major branches. In other words, Chen Yuan only comprehended it for 100,000 epochs before breaking through from the first level of the God King realm to the second level.

Furthermore, due to the ten-thousand-fold acceleration of the primordial world, only about ten epochs have passed outside.

"Unfortunately, the second level of 'Geometric Methods' cannot increase my power ceiling."

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly.

It must be said that after integrating the two major branches of spatial structure and spatial change, the power displayed by geometric methods is truly extraordinary. Even without the bonus of special physique, it can be considered top-tier within the second level of the God King realm.

However, given his strength, the improvement brought by "Geometry Method" was limited, after all, it was only a top-tier inheritance.

He already possessed a similar inheritance, the "World Life Form," which was also at the second level of the God King realm.

In addition, the perfect-grade inheritances he had previously exchanged for have all been cultivated to the first level, and their power is no weaker than that of the special-grade inheritances. They are fully qualified to be comparable to the ultimate realm of the God King.

Chen Yuan is now capable of achieving an invincible level of ultimate power solely through his own strength. Once he cultivates any perfect-level inheritance to the second level of the God King realm, he will inevitably break through the upper limit of the Origin Continent.

"It'll be soon. In as little as a million epochs, I'll be able to master the perfect inheritance of the first second realm, which would take less than a hundred epochs in the outside world."

As Chen Yuan sensed the cultivation progress of his six mental clones, he couldn't help but smile.

Although they are all perfectly compatible secret techniques, the cultivation efficiency of different lineages is different, with some being faster and some slower.

According to the progress of the six avatars, the one who cultivates the fastest is "Time Traveler". This is not only because he has broken through the second level of the Space Dao, but also because this kind of inheritance can be accelerated through relevant materials.

That's right. Although it is cultivated by the Holy Spirit Body, it can still use various resources, just like a real person.

In fact, the other three fusion path inheritances he mastered were in similar situations, so the progress of these four inheritances was actually about the same.

Among them, the "Time Traveler" only requires one million epochs to cultivate to the second level, while the other three inheritances require about 1.2 million to 1.5 million epochs.

As for the "Origin Myriad Paths Array Diagram" and "Nine Realms of Extinction," which require no resources, their progress is much slower. The former requires a little over two million epochs, while the latter requires three and a half million epochs.

The reason the former is faster is because array-type inheritances require computational power, which happens to be Chen Yuan's strength.

Over the years, he has cultivated the "Primordial Brain" to the sixth level, corresponding to the God King realm. However, his computing power has long exceeded the limit of this realm, at least comparable to the late God Emperor stage.

Therefore, even without the help of resources, relying on his powerful computing power, Chen Yuan's efficiency in cultivating the array inheritance was not much slower than those inheritances that were accelerated by resources.

Chen Yuan now only needs one million epochs in the Primordial World, or one hundred epochs in the outside world, to surpass the limit of the Origin World.

Three hundred and fifty epochs later, he will master the perfect level of the second level of the Six Departments inheritance, at which time his combat power will increase by at least five times, and he will steadily cross the threshold of the early stage of God Emperor.

"Continue your cultivation."

Chen Yuan slowly exhaled: "Let's put everything else aside for now. First, let me have the combat power of a God Emperor. Otherwise, I'll always feel insecure."

"Now that my Spatial Dao has reached the second level, fulfilling the cultivation requirements of the first volume of the 'Hun Yuan Array Diagram,' the next step should be—"

"Um?"

He suddenly raised his head and sensed three powerful forces breaking through the boundaries of the cosmic sea and rapidly approaching him.

"Emperor Flame?!"
