Chapter 1981: Chapter 1981: Silver Eyebrow Venerable’s Deduction, Challenging the Rankings
Three-lifetimes Universe?
The few elders frowned.
They knew about the Twin Universe. Before, one of the elders had sent people there to explore and learned that the universe is divided into the Immortal Realm half and the Three Thousand Realms half, each half vast like other Great Universes.
Not only that, but the Twin Universe also contains two large Dao Stele Shards, which are their target.
But, what is this Three-lifetimes Universe?
Is there such a universe in the world?
Silver Eyebrow Venerable sneered, "You all are so short-sighted, knowing only the Twin Universe yet not realizing that after devouring other universes, the Twin Universe could potentially evolve into a Three-lifetimes Universe with even greater potential."
"Please enlighten us, Venerable."
The elders quickly cupped their hands, like eager students, earnestly listening.
Silver Eyebrow Venerable said:
"The so-called Twin Universe is a type of universe with two half-universes, double the size of ordinary universes, naturally with greater potential."
"This happens because, at the beginning of its birth, there were two cosmic cores vying for dominance, but eventually, they fused into one larger cosmic core, creating a conjoined organism-like Twin Universe with enormous potential."
"And the Three-lifetimes Universe is not formed by three cosmic cores vying for dominance. This scenario is rare, and even if it occurs, at most, a Twin Universe is formed, never a naturally occurring Three-lifetimes Universe."
"Such a universe only exists in legend."
"But, if a Twin Universe devours enough other universes, it could strengthen its cosmic core to reach the standard of a Three-lifetimes Universe."
"Now, the Twin Universe might have absorbed the Flame Universe, developing towards a Three-lifetimes Universe."
"Once successful, it would be formidable!"
"A Three-lifetimes Universe is extremely stable. Even Heavenly Venerable battles won’t necessarily lead to cosmic collapse; it can be specialized in nurturing powerhouses."
"Once we control a Three-lifetimes Universe, the Abyss Clan would see endless half-step Heavenly Venerables, quasi-Heavenly Venerables, and Heavenly Venerables emerging, an achievement for the ages!"
At this point, Silver Eyebrow Venerable was extremely excited.
The elders were also astonished.
Only today did they learn what the so-called Three-lifetimes Universe is, feeling indescribably excited inside.
"Venerable, I know the location of the Twin Universe entrance, please follow me!" said the elder who had infiltrated the Twin Universe.
His title: Moon-Worshipper!
"Lead the way!"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable waved an arm, and the Moon-Worshipper Elder quickly took the lead, guiding the group forward.
Soon after.
They reached a sea region.
"It’s here." The Moon-Worshipper Elder pointed to the calm sea below with confidence.
"Let me see!"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable made a gesture with one hand, then intertwined several fingers into a special hand seal, thrusting it onto the sea surface.
Crash!
A large volume of seawater exploded, with mist obscuring the sky.
A vortex over a thousand meters in diameter appeared on the sea surface, leaving everyone dumbstruck.
"What a massive vortex! Its width is ten times that of the worst high-grade Great Universe! Truly frightening for a Three-lifetimes Universe!"
Everyone exclaimed.
Silver Eyebrow Venerable said, "It’s not yet a true Three-lifetimes Universe. At this moment, the Twin Universe should have a new half-universe emerging, and that half is gradually expanding. Once it expands to match the size of the other two half-universes and undergoes another transformation, it can become a true Three-lifetimes Universe."
Pausing, he continued,
"However, the current Twin Universe could be tentatively called a quasi-Three-lifetimes Universe. Look, this vortex is very large, and the energy absorbed per unit time is a hundred times greater than before, promoting cosmic development."
"Listen up, immediately seal off the news, don’t let people of the other four pinnacle forces know of this place, understood?"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable looked around.
"Understood!"
The Moon-Worshipper Elder and others nodded.
They were now certain that the Twin Universe had absorbed the Flame Universe; otherwise, it couldn’t have become so powerful and generate a third half-universe.
"Next, I’ll sense the strength of this high-grade Great Universe."
Silver Eyebrow Venerable extended his hand, pressing on the vortex surface of the Twin Universe, immediately feeling a terrifying tearing force, almost pulling him in.
"Such formidable power!"
"This universe is too fierce!"
"It is frantically devouring energy, and just the suction from the energy influx almost threw me, a quasi-Heavenly Venerable, off balance—terrifying!"
"Quick, keep your distance!"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable hurriedly led the group in retreat.
If the Twin Universe consciousness senses them, it might erupt with even greater attraction, pulling them into the cosmic passage, then attacking and shredding them.
By then, even a quasi-Heavenly Venerable would perish!
Only a True Heavenly Venerable could withstand it.
"Venerable, what should we do next?"
The Moon-Worshipper Elder quickly asked.
"First, seal this area and drive more Cosmic Sea Fish into the Twin Universe to promote its development. Then, seal off the information and guard the secret."
Silver Eyebrow Venerable gave the order.
An elder puzzled, "Venerable, wouldn’t this nurture a threat instead?"
"Heh, you fool!" Silver Eyebrow Venerable kicked the person flying, "Regardless of the universe, its coordinates are always fixed, like fruits on a tree, always ready for us to pick. As long as we guard the entrance, this universe is our garden."
Then, he continued,
"Let’s try to contact the Heavenly Venerables from the Origin of All Things. Although they’re bound by rules and can’t bring their true form into the Cosmic Sea, sending a soul fragment is feasible. It may not be at pinnacle power but is much stronger than us quasi-Heavenly Venerables."
"Once multiple Heavenly Venerable spirit fragments act, they can firmly control it before this universe becomes a true Three-lifetimes Universe and keep it in the hands of our Abyss Clan."
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
...
Twin Universe, Shenzhou.
Ye Feng looked up at the sky.
The rain of origin had stopped, but as he gazed at the clear sky, he felt it was shrouded with dark clouds, a heavy oppression remained in his heart.
"Is a great calamity coming?"
Ye Feng couldn’t help but think.
No wonder the Twin Universe consciousness went crazy, wanting to cultivate three Heavenly Venerables, ten quasi-Heavenly Venerables, and one hundred and five half-step Heavenly Venerables within ten years. Presumably, it had long sensed external threats and made preparations in advance.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng flew to the Starry Sky World, and through his small universe’s perception, he could clearly see the entire Starry Sky World was still expanding.
Not just that, on the side of the Three Thousand Realms and Immortal Realm, countless dense fogs dispersed, revealing a more vast and extensive starry sky.
"This universe sure knows how to hide!"
Ye Feng was startled.
He originally thought the places he had visited were the boundary regions of the universe, but they were not the border at all, merely an illusion created by the Twin Universe.
The real Twin Universe is many times more expansive than the places currently explored.
"The Twin Universe is so cunning! If it were a person, it would definitely be someone with a deep scheming mind, very good at hiding its true nature, very sly!"
Ye Feng silently ridiculed.
Then, he closed his eyes.
After some time of deduction, he sketched three bubbles in mid-air.
This is the current model of the universe.
Among them, two bubbles were very large, while the one in the middle was much smaller, but it was continuously expanding. Based on the rate of expansion, Ye Feng kept deducing, and soon, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
In his vision:
As the small bubble in the middle expanded to the same size as the other two bubbles, the three bubbles formed an equilateral triangle from almost a straight line.
This is a very stable structure.
Then, because there were three bubbles, an intersection region inevitably appeared among them.
This place is very solid.
Even if a Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouse appeared and broke out into a fierce battle here, the space would not collapse.
"Three half-sides of the universe, is this... the Three-Lifetimes Universe?" Ye Feng thought of this point.
He continued to deduce this model and found that as the triangular model was fully formed, the entire Twin Universe would transform into a Three-Lifetimes Universe, and an "Upper Realms" that could accommodate existences of the Heavenly Venerable level would be created within the universe.
"What an impressive Twin Universe!"
"It has grand ambitions!"
Once the Three-Lifetimes Universe is fully formed, the universe could permanently have a Heavenly Venerable stationed, enough to sweep away any threats in the Cosmic Sea and ensure the long-term existence of the universe.
This is a grand scheme!
Ye Feng had to admit that the consciousness of the Twin Universe was very courageous and ambitious, trying to cultivate the Starry Sky World into the third half-side of the universe.
He then continued with his deductions.
Before long, Ye Feng discovered that once the layout of the Three-Lifetimes Universe was formed, each half-side of the universe would have a large Dao Stele Shard, which could further stabilize the spaces of the major half-sides of the universe.
"Let me see where the intersection region is!"
Ye Feng continued to deduce this model and was surprised to find that once the model was established, the intersection region of the three half-sides of the universe was actually... Shenzhou!
"At that time, Shenzhou should be called the Divine Realm."
Ye Feng muttered under his breath.
But this was just speculation.
How could a universe develop from a Twin Universe into a true Three-Lifetimes Universe so quickly?
Half a day later, Ye Feng returned to the Misty Holy Sect.
The Starry Sky World was still expanding, and dense Cosmic Origins would occasionally appear inside, creating brand new stars or extraordinary continents.
But Ye Feng was already too lazy to care.
This was the business of the Twin Universe, unrelated to him.
The top of Misty Peak.
Yao Yue was engraving array patterns on some ancient unfinished materials that were neither metal nor wood, and when she saw Ye Feng return, she showed no sign of it and continued to work diligently.
Ye Feng didn’t disturb her.
Yao Yue was building components of the Spatial Transference Formation, a heavy responsibility that shouldn’t be interrupted lightly.
After a short while.
Ye Feng finished patrolling the sect and found that most of the disciples were cultivating, while a few others had entered the Void Heavenly World to challenge the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings.
[Task Five: Reach the Top of the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings]
[Details: Please have the Sect Leader or any member of the Misty Sect reach the top of the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings and maintain it for at least one year, and at least ten members of the Misty Sect need to be in the top hundred.]
Ye Feng opened the task panel.
Now, more than fifteen members of the sect have broken through to the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level, ready to challenge the rankings.
...
Void Heavenly World, Primordial Ancient Star.
On a spacious arena.
Brother Flathead glared angrily at the person in front, erupting with the aura of the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm, making the opponent turn ashen and quickly jump out of the arena to concede.
The next moment.
It was Wang Ping’an’s turn to appear.
He too unleashed the aura of the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm, directly scaring the opponent into conceding, successfully placing himself within the top hundred of the rankings, and couldn’t help but grin.
At this moment, Ye Feng’s consciousness approached nearby.
He did not show himself, observing secretly.
Currently, there are two hundred members in the sect cultivating the Law Origin of the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level, and in a slow pace of half a year, or quickly in several months, they can break through to the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor.
Now, the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors of the Misty Holy Sect are mainly Mo Ying, Gong Qingqiu, Shi Lei, and others who first obtained the Law Origin Crystals of the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level, as well as spiritual beasts like Brother Flathead, who refined the Super Beast Evolution Pill.
"With the current number of Hundred-layered Immortals exceeding ten, it’s easy to place all of them in the top hundred of the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings."
"But..."
"Reaching the top of the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings is difficult!"
Ye Feng frowned slightly.
On the distant platform, Gong Qingqiu, Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, Li Jiaojiao, Mo Ying, Long Tianxing, Jia Yulan, Yan Ruyu, Qiao Jiaxi, Ji Ziling, Wang Ping’an, and others took the stage one after another, easily defeating their opponents, and just as Ye Feng predicted, entered the top hundred.
Currently ranked above them are only the Ancestor of Demons, Crimson Queen, Emperor Dragon Sovereign, and Tiangang Immortal Emperor—four individuals whose combat prowess has entered the Invincible Domain.
Yes, Tiangang Immortal Emperor has also surpassed the limit.
Since purchasing the Law Fusion Method from Ye Feng, Tiangang Immortal Emperor made a breakthrough to the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, later fusing two Laws, his combat strength stepping from the Nine-star Pinnacle of the King level into the Invincible Supreme Domain.
Although he is only an Ordinary Invincible Supreme, he is still a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor—very powerful indeed.
In any prior Origin Era, Tiangang Immortal Emperor would have had the capability to prove the Heavenly Venerable.
But, this Origin Era is too astounding.
An Ordinary Invincible Supreme of the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm can only rank fourth on the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings; if the Mysterious God hadn’t perished, Tiangang Immortal Emperor would only be able to rank fifth.
This lineup is nothing short of luxurious!
After half a day’s challenges.
Sixteen Hundred-layered Immortals from the Misty Holy Sect occupied the positions from fifth to twentieth on the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings.
When the news came out, the universe was shocked.
"The Misty Holy Sect is too powerful!"
"On the current Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings, they have actually occupied fifth to twentieth places. Do you think they can go further and challenge the four invincible supreme-level monsters of the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm at the front?"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion.
As of today, the Ancestor of Demons, Crimson Queen, and Emperor Dragon Sovereign no longer have a need to conceal their cultivation. They all, like Tiangang Immortal Emperor, burst out with the Hundred-layered cultivation.
These four are like towering mountains.
Even the disciples of the Misty Holy Sect were suppressed.
"Tiangang Immortal Emperor, I want to challenge you!"
But, on the same day, Long Tianxing stepped out, naming Tiangang Immortal Emperor, ranked fourth, as his challenge.
"You want to challenge me?"
Tiangang Immortal Emperor frowned, thinking that he is an Invincible Supreme, while Long Tianxing of the Misty Holy Sect seems to be at the Nine-star Pinnacle of the King level—why so confident?
"That’s right! I challenge you, do you dare accept?" Long Tianxing called out across the distance.
"Hahaha, since you, a junior, want to challenge this emperor, let’s play!" Tiangang Immortal Emperor landed in the center of the arena, standing with hands behind his back.
Bang!
Long Tianxing also landed on the arena, shaking the ground violently, waves of energy rolling.
The two faced off across a hundred meters.
They are both Hundred-layered Immortals, with apparent strength at least at the Nine-star Pinnacle of the King level, each eligible to prove the Dao.
"The fight is about to begin!"
Across the universe, countless people poured into the Void Heavenly World, surrounding the arena tightly, all wanting to know if Long Tianxing, a disciple of the Misty Holy Sect, could defeat the Tiangang Immortal Emperor, who had shown invincible supreme power.
Even Ye Feng was paying close attention to this battle.
