“When strength reaches a certain level, quantity can no longer compensate for it. For example, no matter how many level twelve cultivators there are, they are no match for a Saint.” True Martial Saint Monarch shook his head slightly and said.
"Um?"
Lin Yun was slightly taken aback.
Yes, but converting strength into monetary value is not so simple.
There should be a major difference between the realm of a Saint and the realm of a Saint King. If Lord Li Er were even stronger, it would be normal that ordinary Saints would not be able to use the quantity accumulation method.
"Although power is suppressed within this universe, Lord Li Er's realm is too high. Even if we only use the same power, we are far from being his match. It is said that Lord Li Er was a Saint King in his previous life, and not just any Saint King." At this moment, True Martial Saint King continued.
"The Saint King Realm?" Lin Yun's expression changed slightly.
Above the Saint is the Saint King, and above the Saint King is the Saint King. The Saint Realm has three realms, with the Saint King being the third realm.
Previously, he had briefly inquired with True Martial Saint Monarch about the strength of Saint Realm experts in the Cosmic Sea. According to True Martial Saint Monarch, Saint Realm experts are just average in the Cosmic Sea, Saint Monarch is considered a strongman, and Saint King Realm experts are roughly among the top experts in the Cosmic Sea.
Was that Lord Li Er such a powerful figure in his previous life?
However, upon closer reflection, it seems quite normal.
That Lord Li Er only spent a few thousand years cultivating three Sage Kings and thirty Sages, and many more Sages were born under his influence. Such a grand undertaking would have been beyond the reach of someone who was only a Sage King in their previous life.
So, it seems quite normal that Lord Li Er was a Saint King in his previous life.
...
In fact, Lin Yun underestimated the energy that heaven and earth bestow upon those who break through a new realm of the universe. That energy belongs to the origin of a universe, the destiny of a universe.
Under normal circumstances, in a universe, it may not be possible for someone to break through to a new level for many eras. If such a person is born, they must be an extremely talented and extraordinary individual.
If such a person obtains the power of the universe's origin, even if they leave the universe, they will still be an amazing existence in the cosmic ocean.
The greatness of that Lord Li Er lies in his ability to help some cultivators break through to new heavens and distribute the energy bestowed by heaven and earth to multiple people. However, this universe has already broken through thirty-three heavens, leaving only three heavens unbroken.
Furthermore, because he had absorbed too much of the energy that heaven and earth had bestowed when breaking through to a new heaven, even if Lord Li Er gathered the power of many people, it would be difficult for him to break through to a new heaven again.
He simply cannot cultivate saints or saintly rulers in a short period of time.
There is only one chance in a universe to quickly cultivate a powerful individual.
"By the way, since the Holy Lord knew that those Saints wanted to attack the Immortal Origin Holy Land, why didn't you kill them? Could it be that the Holy Lord was unable to kill them at the time?" Lin Yun talked with the True Martial Holy Lord for a while, then suddenly thought of something and asked again.
There were nine Saints in total, which was a formidable force. Even if Lin Yun's strength increased by another level, he wouldn't be confident in dealing with them.
Furthermore, it is unknown whether other saints will join.
Just as Zhenwu Shengjun said, even a superior saint can only deal with six or seven at the same time, even if they are of lower or higher rank.
In other words, even the Sage of Langya could not deal with such a powerful force.
If those people find out that True Martial Saint Lord has left this universe, the Immortal Origin Holy Land will probably have a hard time dealing with it.
“Saints have strong vitality; they can regenerate from a drop of blood. If I had intervened then, I might not have been able to capture all of them, but I could have captured three or four saints…” True Martial Saint Monarch pondered.
"However, I have a vague feeling that the rupture at the connection between the Netherworld and this world has caused a great disaster. Those saints might become a force to resist the blood of the Netherworld. I think that before the matter of the Netherworld is resolved, coupled with my previous deterrence, the probability of them attacking the Immortal Origin Holy Land is not high. Once the matter of the Netherworld is over, your strength will have grown, and even if they still want to attack the Immortal Origin Holy Land, they won't be able to cause any major trouble." After a pause, True Martial Saint Monarch continued.
"The disasters brought by the Netherworld are immense?" Lin Yun's expression changed as he asked.
He had heard Zhenwu Shengjun mention the disaster in the Netherworld several times, but because so many things were happening, his attention kept shifting, and he didn't put much thought into it. It was only when Zhenwu Shengjun mentioned it again this time that he realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Boom—"
Just then, the space they were in trembled, and even the bodies of powerful figures like Lin Yun, Zhenwu Saint Lord, and the Holy Mother couldn't help but shake a few times.
"Snap! Snap!"
Their domain power was immense. Under their perception, many tiny cracks appeared in many spaces of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, and even a spatial rift appeared not far from them.
"What happened?"
Lin Yun suddenly looked up at the spatial rift not far from them and was slightly shocked.
The space they were in was the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Origin Holy Land. He knew how stable this space was. It not only caused the entire space of the Immortal Origin Holy Land to tremble, but also caused spatial cracks in the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Origin Holy Land. The power that caused this commotion was definitely not ordinary and terrifying.
"What happened?"
"The entire Immortal Origin Holy Land is shaking?"
"Spatial rifts, so many spatial rifts! Could it be that powerful beings are attacking the Immortal Origin Holy Land? Could it be those saints from the outside world?"
"How dare they do this? How dare they do this?"
Throughout the Immortal Origin Holy Land, many cultivators were also filled with panic and shock. Some of these cultivators had just attended the meeting and knew that Lin Yun had become the new master of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, and that many saints from the outside world were eyeing the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
They thought that powerful outsiders had attacked the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
The commotion was so great in the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Origin Holy Land that the commotion in other spaces of the Immortal Origin Holy Land was even greater, especially in the ordinary Immortal Origin Realm. In an instant, many palaces collapsed, mountains crumbled, great formations shattered, and seawater flowed backward, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Many cultivators in the sacred lands of immortals were in a panic.
"The power of the Netherworld! The connection between the Netherworld and this universe has been shattered!" At the same time, True Martial Saint King's expression changed drastically. He suddenly looked up in one direction and exclaimed in disbelief.
"What is the Great Shattering?" Lin Yun asked.
“Previously, I planned to repair the connection between the Netherworld and this universe, but I failed. The connection between the Netherworld and this universe collapsed in a small area, and a large amount of Netherworld power came from the Netherworld through that broken space. I thought that the connection could hold on for a while, but I didn’t expect it to collapse so quickly… A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole. The small space that collapsed earlier was the ant hole, and now that space is beginning to collapse completely…” True Martial Saint Monarch said quickly.
call!
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and images appeared before them.
A starry sky appeared in the image, its location unknown, but it was clear that the starry sky in the image was collapsing piece by piece at an extremely fast speed, sweeping away countless planets and stars over a vast area. At the same time, large swaths of black energy surged out from the collapse points, rapidly eroding the starry sky.
"Is this the connection point between the Netherworld and this universe?" Lin Yun's pupils contracted slightly as he quickly asked.
“Indeed… I had already considered this disaster to be quite significant, but I never imagined it would be even greater than I had imagined…” Zhenwu Saint King nodded.
Lin Yun felt extremely heavy-hearted. Even without the confirmation of the True Martial Saint, he knew that this disaster was far greater than he had imagined.
Judging from the speed at which this starry sky is collapsing, if it continues to collapse as it is now, it will probably not be long before the entire universe collapses. At that time, it is unknown whether this universe will be destroyed or completely covered by those black energies.
In short, he estimated that neither situation would be a good thing.
"Huff... huff..."
Just then, they saw black dots pouring in from the collapse of that starry sky and quickly scattering in all directions.
"The ghost cultivators of the Netherworld... I must get there quickly..." True Martial Saint Monarch said repeatedly.
"Don't worry too much. The space connecting the Netherworld and this universe is limited. Even if this space collapses, it shouldn't spread out of that space. These ghost cultivators from the Netherworld are the biggest disaster. I'll go and kill those ghost cultivators now. You are the Lord of the Immortal Source. You should appease all the cultivators in the Immortal Source Realm and let the Holy Mother assist you..." Then, True Martial Saint Lord turned to look at Lin Yun and said.
call!
The next moment, Zhenwu Shengjun's figure disappeared.
"Ghost cultivators from the Netherworld..."
Lin Yun was staring in astonishment at the scene in the image before him. He had seen ghost cultivators before; there were ghost cultivators in the Heavenly Dao Tower space, and even a whole layer of space was filled with them, including extremely powerful ghost cultivators like Lord Black Mountain.
However, at that moment, he heard Zhenwu Shengjun say these words.
Looking up again, Zhenwu Shengjun had already left this space.
Lin Yun was speechless.
He didn't really like appeasing people; he preferred to go with Zhenwu Shengjun to the point where the Netherworld and this universe connected to deal with those ghost cultivators.
"Don't overthink it. Leave the trivial matters to me. You just need to show up at certain necessary occasions. When the space connecting the Netherworld and this universe collapses and the Immortal Source Holy Land trembles, it will be the time for you, the Lord of the Immortal Source, to win over people's hearts."
The Holy Mother seemed to see through Lin Yun's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble the Holy Mother," Lin Yun said, bowing respectfully to the Holy Mother.
With the words of the Virgin Mary, nothing could be better.
However, Lin Yun was still somewhat speechless.
For no apparent reason, the True Martial Saint King and the Holy Mother entrusted the Immortal Source Holy Land to him, making him the master of the Immortal Source Holy Land.
Well, considering the benefits promised by Zhenwu Shengjun and the Holy Mother, he reluctantly agreed.
However, before he could gain any benefit, he had to first quell the chaos in the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
This made him wonder if he had fallen into a trap.
Zhenwu Shengjun and the Holy Mother only wanted to use him as a laborer.
However, both Zhenwu Shengjun and the Holy Mother had shown him great kindness, so even if they truly had such intentions, he could only accept it.
Whew! Whew!
With this in mind, Lin Yun had Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, Lian Shan, and others cultivate in the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, while he and the Holy Mother went to other places to appease the cultivators of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
Our first stop was the Immortal Origin Palace, the highest palace in the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
Many important matters are discussed here in the Immortal Origin Holy Land. Previously, when Lin Yun took over as the master of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, it was also held in this palace.
"Lord of the Immortal Source! Holy Mother!"
"Lord of the Immortal Source! Holy Mother!"
...
Many high-ranking members of the Immortal Origin Holy Land were already waiting in this hall. Upon seeing Lin Yun and the Holy Mother appear, they quickly bowed to them.
"Please, everyone, no need for formalities."
Lin Yun gestured for everyone to stop their formalities.
"The connection between the Netherworld and this universe has begun to collapse on a large scale, and the two worlds have officially become connected. That's why the Immortal Origin Holy Land was affected and trembled just now. However, this tremor will soon end, so don't be nervous. True Martial Saint King has already gone to that space to suppress the ghost cultivators who came from the Netherworld..." the Holy Mother said.
"The Netherworld and this universe are officially connected?"
"The connection between the two realms has caused such a huge commotion?"
Some high-ranking members of the Immortal Origin Holy Land were surprised upon hearing what the Holy Mother had said.
But then, upon hearing the Virgin Mary's next words, they felt comforted and breathed a sigh of relief:
"Will this tremor end soon?"
"The True Martial Saint Lord has already gone? With the True Martial Saint Lord taking action, resolving this matter should be a piece of cake!"
"Fortunately, the True Martial Saint King was there; otherwise, such a commotion would have been no ordinary event, but rather a catastrophe!"
…………
Listening to these people's discussions, the Holy Mother shook her head slightly.
"You've all overthought this. The tremor ended simply because the effect of the instantaneous connection between the Netherworld and this universe disappeared. This matter is not over yet; on the contrary, it has only just begun."
“Just now, we saw through the monitoring array of the Immortal Origin Holy Land that many ghost cultivators have come from the Netherworld to those spaces. Ghost cultivators are different from ordinary beings; they carry death energy and are extremely dangerous to ordinary beings…”
"Now, our task is to reassure the cultivators in various parts of the Immortal Origin Holy Land and keep them from panicking."
The Virgin Mary spoke slowly.
"ah?"
"This is just the beginning?"
Many high-ranking members of the Immortal Origin Holy Land were surprised.
However, they were only slightly surprised and not too panicked. As the saying goes, if the sky falls, there are always taller people to hold it up. With Zhenwu Saint Lord, Langya Saint, and Lin Yun, the newly promoted Immortal Source Master, there was nothing for them to worry about, even if something happened outside.
They just need to follow orders.
