On the other side, seeing Lin Yun's change, the middle-aged man felt even more regretful.
He wasn't stupid, and besides, Lin Yun's behavior was quite obvious. There was a high chance that there were some benefits in that space that he didn't know about, and those benefits might even be more valuable than a divine spark.
After all, he didn't even consider a single divine spark a threat to the other party, yet at this moment, the other party was so moved.
"If... I can gain those benefits... and become a god... so what if I can't improve any further? That's the god realm! Throughout history, countless peak saint kings and invincible saint kings, how many have actually reached that level..."
The middle-aged man was filled with remorse. He had once been just one step away from that legendary level, figure, and status!
This time, he was really too reckless. He barged into this universe without knowing anything, and even though the other party gave him a chance, he didn't leave. He was just asking for death. What could be more foolish than that?
Now, he is about to miss out on all these great opportunities!
These thoughts only lasted for a moment. Soon, the middle-aged man withdrew them all and dared not think about them anymore. He had already courted death once before and dared not do it again.
If his thoughts are perceived by the other party and cause them to have other ideas, he will have nowhere to regret it.
He had just offered up this incredible opportunity to save his life, but now that he had revealed its spatial coordinates, if the other party decided to kill him again, he would have no chance of survival.
"Alright, if the situation is true, I will spare your life. For the time being, you can stay in this universe!" Lin Yun gave the middle-aged man a deep look and said slowly.
"Yes, yes, yes..." The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, not daring to refute at all.
call!
Lin Yun nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the middle-aged man to a space deep within the Heavenly Dao Tower.
As he became acquainted with the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower, the Heavenly Dao Tower once again recognized him as its master. During the time he fought with this middle-aged man, he had almost completely refined the Heavenly Dao Tower. With the experience from his previous life, he was now able to use the Heavenly Dao Tower with great ease.
The Heavenly Dao Tower is a defensive and supportive magical artifact. Its powerful outer defenses make it impenetrable for ordinary cultivators, and its incredible speed makes it difficult for even powerful cultivators to capture. Furthermore, some spaces within the tower can create an even better cultivation environment than the outside, accelerating cultivation. It can also be used as a cage to imprison enemies, and so on.
Although the Heavenly Dao Tower is now severely damaged and its power has been greatly reduced in all aspects, the Blood Prison Sword has already weakened the middle-aged man's strength to a great extent, and it is the kind of damage that is extremely difficult to recover from. Lin Yun is not afraid that the middle-aged man's strength will cause any damage to the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Speaking of this middle-aged man's strength, he probably doesn't even know how serious his injuries are. The Blood Prison Sword can increase its master's strength by absorbing and refining the power of enemies. It's not just an ordinary increase, but a permanent one. Naturally, the strength of enemies damaged by the Blood Prison Sword is not just ordinary damage, but permanent damage as well.
Even if he resumes training, it won't be easy to regain his original strength due to the damage to his talent. However, this middle-aged man should find out soon.
"First, improve your strength..."
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yun said in a low voice.
He had just broken through the last barrier of this universe not long ago, and had just killed the White Emperor of the Netherworld, and seriously injured the Lower Saint King Rosen and the middle-aged man in the Upper Saint King realm. The Blood Prison Sword absorbed and refined a large amount of energy.
In a short time, his strength can be greatly improved, so there is no rush to go to that space.
If he's not strong enough and has to come back to train and improve, that's a minor issue. But if he encounters trouble outside, like a powerful enemy, that he can't handle, then that would be a real problem.
Perhaps we should improve our skills first before going.
Not only will they have a greater chance of obtaining the divine essence within that space and absorbing its chaotic power, but they will also be able to resolve any trouble or powerful enemies they encounter more easily.
"However, before that, there is one more thing..." Lin Yun paused, thinking to himself.
Thinking this, Lin Yun flipped his hand and took out the communication stone left by Saint King Rosen, and began to contact Saint King Rosen.
Soon, an image appeared before Lin Yun. In the image, Saint King Rosen was sitting cross-legged in a secret room, cultivating.
Upon receiving Lin Yun's message, Saint King Rosen immediately stood up, looking anxious, and asked, "Lord Blood Emperor, is there anything you wish to instruct Rosen on?"
"Do you know this person?" Lin Yun waved his hand, releasing the image of the middle-aged man he had just fought, and looked at the image of Saint King Rosen, asking.
"This is... a superior Saint King, the Eastern Zhou Saint King!" Saint King Rosen's expression changed slightly, and he said with a hint of surprise.
A superior Saint King is far superior in strength and status compared to him, a lower-level Saint King. Could it be that the Blood Emperor has had a conflict with him?
"Oh? Does he have any powerful clansmen or friends?" Lin Yun asked after seeing that Saint King Rosen knew him.
Since he plans to leave this universe for a while, he should probably inquire about which level of powerful individuals might return and make preparations. There's no harm in that.
The relatives and friends of the strong are often also strong. At present, the clansmen and friends of the Eastern Zhou Sage King are the most likely to come to this universe, so he asked the Rosen Sage King about the person.
As for why he didn't ask the Eastern Zhou Sage King, it was because he wanted to see if there were any oversights. Previously, he had already sensed a lot of information from the spiritual power emitted by the Eastern Zhou Sage King, including information about some of the Eastern Zhou Sage King's clansmen and friends.
However, the Eastern Zhou Sage King was ultimately a superior Sage King. Although he was no match for him, he had lived for countless years and was definitely experienced in hiding his thoughts. If the other party was determined not to speak, he would not be able to judge whether it was true or false. It would be better to ask others.
"Well... as far as I know, there are indeed some powerful people among his clansmen, but only compared to ordinary cultivators. In reality, the highest level they have is only the lower-level Saint King realm, and there seems to be only one. However, he has several upper-level Saint King friends. It is said that he is also quite close to a peak Saint King, but I am not too clear about their relationship..." Saint King Rosen hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"These are the information about his clansmen and friends..." Subsequently, Saint King Rosen sent Lin Yun all the information about Saint King Dongzhou, as well as information about his clansmen and friends.
“If Your Majesty the Blood Emperor is not in a hurry, I can ask my friend for more information,” Saint King Rosen quickly added.
"Okay, you can ask around and tell me what you think." Lin Yun nodded slightly.
"Alright, Blood Emperor, rest assured, I will contact my friends immediately to inquire about the information of the Eastern Zhou Holy King's clan and friends." Seeing that Lin Yun had only arranged such a small matter for him, Holy King Rosen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.
"By the way, which powerful beings did you transmit the information of my universe to? Did you send a message to this Eastern Zhou Saint King? Or is it possible that the message you sent out was then transmitted to him?" Just then, Lin Yun suddenly seemed to think of something, looked deeply at Saint King Rosen, and asked.
"This... I did send out the information about the universe where the Blood Emperor is, but I only said that a universe of the Thirty-Sixth Heaven was open, and the other party is only a mid-level Saint King... After I left that universe, I told him not to go there... I also specifically asked him if he had told anyone else, and he replied that he hadn't. I am not familiar with the Eastern Zhou Saint King... I wonder if he told the Eastern Zhou Saint King this information. I can ask him immediately..." Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Saint King Rosen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained.
"Alright, you can ask them if you want. You don't need to dissuade them. I don't want trouble, but I'm not afraid of trouble either. If they all want to come and die, I don't mind granting their wish!" Lin Yun remained silent while listening to Saint King Rosen speak, seemingly lost in thought. Just as Saint King Rosen's heart was pounding in his throat, Lin Yun spoke calmly.
"Yes... Blood Emperor..." Saint King Rosen wanted to say that he would do his best to dissuade those people from going to that universe, but when he heard Lin Yun say not to dissuade them, he thought about it and still didn't dare to say it. In the end, he forced himself to nod repeatedly.
Lin Yun severed his connection with Saint King Rosen.
"One peak Saint King, several superior Saint Kings, it seems that matter needs to be brought forward..." Lin Yun pondered for a moment.
There was something he hadn't planned to do at this time, but now he had no choice but to do it.
Otherwise, if there are no strong beings in this universe, and he leaves this universe, many living beings in this universe will be in danger, and many resources will be plundered by those cultivators who enter.
The resources of this universe are a minor matter; the safety of the beings in this universe is of utmost importance. Lin Yun is now essentially the spokesperson for this universe, and he has a deeper understanding of various aspects of this universe.
Just as a being in a universe is very important to that universe, when the beings in a universe are wiped out by cultivators from the outside world, that universe is almost completely destroyed, and all kinds of primal forces and powers will drop to a low point.
At that point, it would be extremely difficult for him to obtain any significant amplification from the various forces of this universe, and the extent of the amplification would be very limited.
Lin Yun was not clear about the specific reasons for this, but that did not mean he was unaware of such things. For example, in some universes where native life forms have been wiped out, cultivators from the outside world not only have freedom of movement but are also safer, without worrying about powerful native life forms mobilizing the power of the universe to suppress their strength.
Many trading venues were placed in such universes by certain forces, which put all parties at ease.
call!
With that thought in mind, Lin Yun teleported to the core of the universe. Then, he swung the Blood Prison Sword in his hand, cleaving a white space in the air.
Within the space, a powerful primordial force surged forth; this vast white space was the very source of the primordial force of this universe.
When a cultivator breaks through the final three heavens of a universe, they will also gain a benefit: the creation of a primordial avatar.
By harnessing the primordial power of this universe, one can obtain a primordial clone. At that time, the universe will truly be immortal, and the individual will be immortal.
However, this is not an easy task to accomplish.
According to the information Lin Yun had gathered, it would take approximately one hundred million years to create that clone.
The clone's strength is almost equal to that of the original body. In fact, it can even cultivate independently, which is equivalent to two selves cultivating at the same time. Due to differences in experience and perspective, the effect of one plus one is even greater than two.
Once created, this cultivator's strength will undergo a dramatic transformation.
However... 100 million years... that's too long...
At the very least, compared to Lin Yun's current age of only thirty or forty, it is an exceptionally long time.
Therefore, Lin Yun was not in a hurry to do this.
But now, Lin Yun is going to give it a try...
"According to the information I have obtained, the reason why the creation of clones takes so long is mainly due to the problem of the spirit splitting into two. It is not as simple as the spirit self-destructing and splitting into many, but rather it is a process of one spirit splitting into relatively independent and complete spirits..." Lin Yun said in a low voice.
“However, I have experience from my past life where my spirit split into two independent individuals. Perhaps I can give it a try…” Then, a glint of light flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes as he thought to himself.
call!
The next moment, Lin Yun teleported to the origin space of this universe.
Then, Lin Yun closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Soon, a black soul appeared above Lin Yun's head, also in Lin Yun's image. The black soul closed its eyes and absorbed the surrounding power, just like the primordial spirit in the cultivation system.
One day... two days... three days...
"Buzz~"
On the third day, the space trembled, and above Lin Yun's body, his soul body began to split into two, one strong and one weak. The strong soul body was much weaker than Lin Yun's original soul body. This was Lin Yun's true body. Obviously, splitting off a soul body had greatly depleted his true body.
"Boom—rumble—"
The moment the two soul bodies were born, immense forces of heaven and earth appeared out of thin air, surging towards Lin Yun's two soul bodies along with a large amount of primordial power in this space, causing the two soul bodies to grow rapidly.
Another day passed, and the soul representing Lin Yun's true form returned to its original state, then returned to Lin Yun's body, whereupon Lin Yun opened his eyes.
“Unlike the spiritual split in my previous life, the primordial power of this universe has replenished my original soul to perfection, making it almost like a complete soul. All the necessary qualifications should be in perfect order. Furthermore, because it contains some of the primordial power of this universe, even when my original self is outside, I can still interact greatly with this universe and my other avatar…” Lin Yun thought to himself, a glint of light flashing deep in his eyes.
