Chapter 1106: Yuan Divine Mandate
A piece of information was rapidly spreading throughout Hong Meng Sacred Hall!
His Majesty the Human Ruler had a method to raise one's cultivation base that could allow people with ordinary Heavenly Venerate cultivation bases to quickly break through to the Yuan Venerate boundary.
When this news first emerged, it shocked countless people. After all, Hong Meng Sacred Hall had many old Heavenly Venerates.
These old Heavenly Venerates had sixth-level and higher cultivation bases but found it difficult to progress to the next level or break through to the Yuan Venerate.
These powerhouses had already given up any hope of breaking through to the Yuan Venerate. Some just stayed free and unfettered, while others entered armies to fight and kill.
However, over time, many of these old Heavenly Venerates would choose a monastic lifestyle. Because they had already made sufficient contributions to Hong Meng Sacred Hall, Hong Meng Sacred Hall wouldn't mobilize them unless it was at a crucial juncture and the sacred hall's fate was at stake.
Nevertheless, the circumstances were no longer the same!
The news that Heavenly Venerates were able to break through to the Yuan Venerate regardless of their level sent many Heavenly Venerates into a frenzy.
In just a day, over 1,000 old Heavenly Venerates came rushing over from everywhere.
Opposite Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow sat an old Heavenly Venerate.
Although Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow had a bad temper, he too had old friends he got along with in Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
"The last time we met was probably 100,000 years ago!" His old friend lamented.
He was a Yuan Venerate, so time no longer left any vestiges on his body. However, this old friend actually didn't have too much time left.
Back then, both Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow and this old friend had been full of mettle when they'd entered Hong Meng Sacred Hall at the same time.
All this seemed as though it had only happened yesterday.
"It was 103,000 years ago," the eighth-level Heavenly Venerate said. "You don't even have to keep track, as my time isn't like yours."
"That's why I keep a special track of time."
Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow picked up the jade pot in front of him and poured his comrade a cup of wine. Then, he said, "Time is like a shuttle. You didn't come to visit me in many years either."
"Why would I?" The aged martialist laughed heartily. "I put aside everything and lived rather freely. I had originally thought that I would give my all one last time for the Imperial Hall when Tianding Realm appeared, yet I never imagined that the Hall Master simply wouldn't have any use for people like me. Or rather, His Majesty the Human Ruler!"
The aged martialist was full of respect when he mentioned Luo Yunyang. If the aged martialist hadn't paid attention to Luo Yunyang, he also wouldn't have been able to see the battle for the Human Ruler's position.
The entire 36 Great Cosmoses had practically watched the battle for the ascension of the Human Ruler.
"His Majesty's cultivation is so profound that we cannot compare to it!" Even though Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow had been somewhat apprehensive about Luo Yunyang in the past, he no longer felt such apprehension.
This wasn't because he was magnanimous but rather because, given Luo Yunyang's current standing, he could easily make Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow disappear.
Because he couldn't rebel under the circumstances, his attitude toward Luo Yunyang was naturally different now.
"I have come to get a chance to become a Yuan Venerate. I originally thought that I would be able to get a spot due to my previous merits, but I am no longer so confident considering that there are so many other illustrious seniors."
The old martialist added, "I was afraid of lowering myself before you. I've never asked for anything in the past, but this is really important to me. I hope that Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow will help me get a spot on account of our many years of friendship."
Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow used to be in charge of Hong Meng Sacred Hall's law bureau. Therefore, he had always been impartial and emotionless when it came to many matters.
He couldn't shirk now. He had already made up his mind, so he said firmly. "I might not necessarily be able to do that. However, you have to think carefully, because there is a 50 percent chance of failure."
"A 50 percent chance of success to break through to the Yuan Venerate is simply a gift from the heavens. Do you think that I would give up just because of the odds of failure?" The old martialist relaxed a little more, as Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow was being frank with him.
The Yuan Venerate said with a smile, "Alright, then I wish you success, Brother."
Scenarios like the one Yuan Venerate Blue Sparrow was experiencing were playing out all over Hong Meng Sacred Hall. Even the newly-appointed Left Hall Master was asked by many old friends for an opportunity.
The new Left Hall Master actually felt a little weary after dealing with this deluge of requests.
Meanwhile, Luo Yunyang didn't know about the situation within Hong Meng Sacred Hall. At the moment, he was shuttling around the Origin Source Grounds.
Although he had already gained considerable nomological law fragments in the Origin Source Grounds, the nomological law fragments he had obtained were merely a drop in the ocean compared to the nomological law fragments produced during era-destructive scenarios.
After all, who knew how many times such apocalyptic wars had occurred. Each time, the nomological law fragments produced during each era-destructive scenario were tens of thousands.
Luo Yunyang was much more relaxed compared to the previous time. After all, his cultivation had already risen to the Taichu Yuan Venerate.
Unfortunately, as his cultivation base increased, Luo Yunyang slowly discovered that he was starting to attract the attention of some peak existences during these apocalyptic battles.
If Taichu Yuan Venerate Luo Yunyang was like a little fish swimming around during those apocalyptic battles, then the current Luo Yunyang was already a huge beast.
Although he was still a far cry from the top, he couldn't be overlooked either.
This resulted in some unyielding attacks focused on him. Fortunately, he had the attribute regulator so he could quickly make adjustments and allow himself to escape time after time in the Origin Source Grounds.
After obtaining about 2,000 Taishi Yuan Venerate nomological law fragments, Luo Yunyang immediately left when the channel opened.
Thanks to having prior experience from his previous time, Luo Yunyang very easily separated the nomological law fragments in his body.
Finally, those countless nomological law fragments were compressed by Luo Yunyang into pieces of crystal about the size of a finger that contained a boundless sense of abstruseness.
These crystals were extremely firm and as long as they were integrated into a body, the user would be able to use the strength of this crystal.
However, the power in the crystal was fixed and the user wouldn't be able to pour any more comprehension into this crystal no matter how hard they cultivated. Therefore, the user who integrated this crystal could become a Yuan Venerate but would find it hard to make any future improvements.
2,000 pieces of crystals were like stars in the sky sparkling continuously in front of Luo Yunyang. These crystals had different colors, their attributes weren't the same, and even the corporeal bodies they could fuse with were different.
As Luo Yunyang gently waved his hand, about 25 smooth round pieces of crystals flew into it.
These 25 pieces looked like very pretty round balls. The reason Luo Yunyang had drawn them to himself wasn't due to the aesthetics of these crystals but because their backlash would be very mild.
While the other crystal required at least a Heavenly Venerate to utilize it, these smooth round crystals could be used by Universe-Grades.
Perhaps the best of them could even be used by Nebula-Grades. It could be said that these crystals held the same value for Heavenly Venerates. However, they were worth many times more for Universe-Grades.
"These 25 crystals are for the Flame Emperor and the others." Luo Yunyang muttered to himself.
The Flame Emperor and the others had followed Luo Yunyang for many years. Although Luo Yunyang had given them massive amounts of resources over the years, their natural aptitude had already rendered them unable to keep up with Luo Yunyang's pace. However, they were still a group that was absolutely loyal to Luo Yunyang.
After storing those 25 Yuan Crystals securely, Luo Yunyang eyed the remaining glittering crystals and said to himself, "Each of these crystals basically represents a Yuan Venerate. Calling them crystals doesn't do them justice. I should probably give them a new name. A crystal that can make one soar with a single step like a god... How about Divine Mandate?"
As if they were able to hear Luo Yunyang's words, the Divine Mandates glittering in the void glowed even brighter, as if showing that they were satisfied with their new names.
After keeping these more than 2,000 Divine Mandates, Luo Yunyang sent a message out to the other four hall masters, telling them that he was ready to create Yuan Venerates.
The five great sacred halls immediately went into a frenzy.
While Luo Yunyang was mass-producing Yuan Venerates, a strange tear appeared in a shattered void filled with death and stillness.
Seeing a tear like this in a shattered void was really commonplace. However, this tear had appeared strangely and was filled with vitality as well as a tremendous sense of antiquity.
If not for the fact that there was no life in this void, this antiquity could have made the vitality of this space evolve a handful of times.
However, a few moments after the spatial tear appeared, an ellipse stone also appeared in the same position. The stone emitted a vast hallowed glow the moment it appeared.
This hallowed glow lasted for a mere split second before it was absorbed back.
The ellipse stone only stopped for a moment before it split open. However, it didn't split as though a knife was cutting through it. Instead, it looked like two flawless Yin Yang fishes splitting apart.
A three-meter-tall figure appeared out of nowhere and glanced at the swimming Yin Yang fish ruefully.
"What a pity that these have to die. However, they brought me to this last Great Era. I just wonder whether the Human Race of this era will disappoint me greatly!"
