Chapter 1760: Endless Mysteries of the Universe and Its Stars

Everyone present could tell right away that Zhuanyu Heng had grasped that strand of opportunity from the dao universe, which was an opportunity to seal his Saint Path.

Buzz!

In the deep and boundless galaxy, one of the stars was blossoming with a brilliant light and sending down a golden ray that enveloped Zhuanyu Heng.

Encased in that divine glow, he walked toward the five-colored altar in the distance.

Eventually, he ascended the dao altar. As he stood on it, his aura began to witness a marvelous and obscure transformation.

Boom!

Finally, the dazzling star melted into a thick, golden cascade of light before getting absorbed completely by Zhuanyu Heng.

It was also at this moment that bursts of dao sounds echoed. In the void above Zhuanyu Heng, a vague vision of all living beings appeared, grand and infinite.

Zhuanyu Heng was like a lord who was receiving all their faith and worship.

“He’s sealing his Saint Path with the wishing power of all living beings!”

Lin Xun and the others were all shaken. Some were envious, some marveled, and quite many seemed a bit disappointed.

A moment later, all of the phenomena disappeared.

On top of the five-colored altar, an ancient, black stone stele emerged, filled with strands of dao light and shrouded in drifting chaos qi.

Fengshan Dao Stele!

Only those who had sealed their Saint Path and become a Sage could have a dao stele of their own to inscribe their will and name on it.

This monument would exist forever at a height of nine thousand feet above the Fengshan Platform, where it would receive the blessing of heaven!

The crowd couldn’t help but become a little restless.

There was always a rumor in the Ancient Nebula Road that any expert who managed to walk out of the Kunlun Dominion alive would one day have a chance to realize their Emperor Dao and become an Emperor!

This mere chance was enough to drive countless half-step Emperors and quasi-Emperors crazy!

And what it referred to was exactly the blessing of heaven that one could obtain from their own Fengshan Dao Stele on this platform.

After Zhuanyu Heng used his will and power to seal his own name on the stele on the five-colored altar, the Fengshan Dao Stele slowly flew up high into the sky in a sky-piercing column of light.

Ten thousand feet.

Twenty thousand feet.

Thirty thousand feet.

......Upon reaching seventy thousand feet, the stele stopped and was suspended in the air, covered by starlight.

“Seventy thousand feet, formidable!” someone marveled.

Lin Xun was stunned, and then he heard a rapid voice transmission from A’hu by his side, “The higher one’s Fengshan Dao Stele, the stronger their transformation to a Sage, and the more heavenly blessing will be gained.

“For his stele to rise to seventy thousand feet, Zhuanyu Heng is indeed quite a character.”

Lin Xun finally understood.

In his field of vision, the Fengshan Platform high above was densely packed with floating steles. Some were brilliant like stars, while others were dim like meteorites.

In addition, their heights indeed varied.

Most of the Fengshan Dao Steles were around the height of thirty thousand feet, and most of them were dull, looking just like meteorites.

The steles around the mark of sixty thousand feet were relatively sparse. With a sweep of his spirit sense, Lin Xun accurately counted seven hundred and ninety-eight of them.

Zhuanyu Heng’s Fengshan Dao Stele was also located in this area and was positioned quite far up.

Around the mark of ninety thousand feet, the number of steles decreased sharply. There were only forty-nine steles, and most of them were located between ninety thousand feet and eighty thousand feet.

Only three steles barely reached the ninety-thousand-foot mark.

In this area, each stele was more dazzling than the last and shone even brighter than the stars. Their auras were beyond magnificent.

These were all left behind by great Sages who had successfully sealed their Saint Paths on this Fengshan Platform since ancient times!

Lin Xun had a strange feeling. Zhuanyu Heng was a supreme Big Saint in the top ten of the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings, but his Fengshan Dao Stele could only reach the height of seventy thousand feet.

In such a comparison, just how terrifyingly powerful were those experts whose steles far surpassed his?

“What a shame…” On the five-colored altar, Zhuanyu Heng sighed.

To others, being able to seal their Saint Path and have their own stele for eternity was already an unparalleled fortune.

However, Zhuanyu Heng was clearly slightly dissatisfied.

He shook his head and walked down the dao altar.

It was also at this moment that Lin Xun clearly felt the change in Zhuanyu Heng’s aura. The latter’s every move carried a kind of might.

It was as if he was a Saint Dao leader whose every breath was filled with majesty!

This was the charisma of a Sage, a stage that had completely transcended the Saint Stage. As people always said: ‘When you see a wise person, follow their example.’ Becoming a Sage meant one already had the foundation to become a supreme Saint-King!

Everyone’s eyes narrowed slightly as they flashed with strange lights.

Zhuanyu Heng didn’t pay any attention to their reactions. He chose a random place to sit down cross-legged, seemingly planning to meditate on his new changes.

This caused many people to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

In years past, there had been more than one occurrence where powerful experts would stop the others from grasping the chance to become Sages after they had seized it first!

Each time had resulted in endless bloodshed and staggering casualties.

Fortunately, Zhuanyu Heng didn’t do this.

In the following time, whether it was Hua Xingli, Tang Su, and the others, or Lin Xun and A’hu, they all discarded distracting thoughts and started perceiving with their spirit senses.

The boundless and cold universe was home to billions of stars, as well as the essences of all the daos in existence.

Just by capturing a sliver of opportunity from those daos, one could follow Zhuanyu Heng’s footsteps and become a Sage in one fell swoop!

Time trickled by.

Buzz!

A familiar dao fluctuation resounded. A star in the galaxy shone brightly and dropped a crimson beam upon a slender man clad in light-green armor.

“Nie Jianchen?! How could it be him…” exclaimed a person in surprise, as though they hadn’t expected that the slender man would be the second to grasp this opportunity.

Like Zhuanyu Heng, Nie Jianchen stepped onto the five-colored altar. The moment he did, his aura transformed, and the vision of all living beings similarly appeared above him.

It meant that he also sealed his Saint Path with the wishing power of all beings.

Immediately following, a Fengshan Dao Stele appeared. As Nie Jianchen left his name on it, Zhuanyu Heng, who was sitting cross-legged in the distance, opened his eyes.

Only after seeing that Nie Jianchen’s stele only rose fifty thousand feet did he close his eyes again.

Even so, Nie Jianchen was beaming in high spirits.

He descended the five-colored altar, looked around, and ultimately chose a place to sit down and meditate like Zhuanyu Heng.

The crowd wore different expressions, their minds in different places.

……

Only Lin Xun completely ignored what was going on as he focused on perceiving. His spirit sense seemed to have flown up high into the depths of the universe…

An indescribable feeling of vastness and desolation arose.

Just how big was the universe? Being in this infinite entity, one would feel so clearly how small and lost they were.

They wouldn’t be able to tell where their future was, or where the way back was!

Lin Xun’s spirit sense kept flying deeper and deeper, further and further away, seeing nothing but boundless galaxies and empty dark matter…

Buzz!

Without him realizing, the piece of blackened copper left by the Treasure Refining Origin Furnace quietly emitted an obscure ripple.

Around that same time, his spirit sense captured a dazzling, boiling, lava-like cosmic entity that then turned into a huge flame vortex.

Even a giant that was a hundred thousand feet tall was no different from an ant in front of this flame vortex. It was like a gigantic black hole that flowed and swirled with terrifying flames.

The stars in its vicinity burned up so intensely that they turned scarlet and spilled endless fire columns.

In this split second, Lin Xun’s spirit sense tingled acutely.

But at the same time, an obscure and mysterious realization rose in his heart—

Treasure Refining Dao Source!

This referred to the place of dao origin that included nearly ten thousand types of Treasure Refining Divine Flames.

The Treasure Refining Origin Furnace that had created the nine Emperor weapons was born from the vortex of flames known as the Treasure Refining Dao Source!

A ripple of surprise ran through Lin Xun’s heart.

He hadn’t expected to be able to gain insight into such a world-shattering secret while trying to perceive the opportunity to seal his Saint Path!

After Lin Xun regained his composure, his spirit sense continued to go deeper. He probed constantly along the way but came up empty-handed in the end.

However, his mind was extremely calm and clear.

It was because he never considered this a must-get opportunity. Whether it was sealing his Saint Path with the wishing power of all living beings or with the wishing power of the Great Dao, it no longer mattered to him.

Lin Xun’s spirit sense just kept going and perceiving the vast expanse of the universe. He didn’t know how long and how far it had traveled when he started feeling tired and powerless.

“Big Saint, big but immeasurable, but in front of this infinite universe…still too small…”

An indescribable loneliness welled up in his heart. He was like a lone traveler in the sea of stars and its infinite void. There was nothing around but a cold silence that made one feel pressured, helpless, and perplexed.

Gradually, his consciousness seemed to be melting, getting lost in the boundless space.

No, something’s not right!

An instinctive vigilance suddenly rose in Lin Xun’s mind.

His spirit sense that was diffusing in the deep space was also jolted.

The universe is endless. Even if I keep going, when will be the end?

But if I don’t keep going deeper, how can I grasp the opportunity hidden in it?

Originally, Lin Xun had decided to try this out of curiosity only as he didn’t desire it. But after having probed around the universe, he wasn’t willing to give up just like that.

Then…

I’ll try again!

Lin Xun shook off all distracting thoughts, and his spirit sense resumed its journey.

The familiar feelings of loneliness, depression, helplessness, and confusion once again arose, but Lin Xun no longer paid them any mind.

His spirit sense was like the full moon reflected in water, no longer affected by the light of the sun and the clouds.

Gradually, it entered a state of blankness, not the dispersing and lost kind, but the kind obliviousness after being free of all distractions.

After an unknown time passed, but a sound like the morning bell resounded from the bottom of his heart, indistinct and ethereal.

Lin Xun’s spirit sense was as if it had been electrocuted as a wave of divine enlightenment was knocked into him!
