230. Chapter 230 Attachment, Deterrence!
"Transcendent Realm?"
"It seems to have been mentioned in my inherited memories!"
Hearing the words "Transcendent Realm" mentioned by Saint Liu Yuan, Yao Lingling, who had been secretly observing in Liu Zimo's sea of knowledge, couldn't help but interject.
"It is said that it is the ultimate destination coveted by all the strongest in the Holy Realm!"
"For a true Saint-level powerhouse to set foot there, they must completely comprehend the laws of the Great Dao in their own realm, attract heavenly tribulation, and only then can they break through and enter the Transcendent Realm!"
"However, for millions of years, no Saint in the Illusory Demon Realm has been able to successfully cross over and enter that legendary Transcendent Realm!"
"As time went on, news related to the Transcendent Realm became a true ancient legend, only occasionally mentioned by a few people!"
"After all, it is already extremely difficult for ordinary people or demonic beasts to become Saints, let alone break through to a realm above the Holy Realm!"
"If it weren't for hearing Saint Liu Yuan mention the words 'Transcendent Realm' just now, causing a reaction in my inherited memories, I would have almost forgotten about this legend!"
Hearing Yao Lingling's explanation, Liu Zimo's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.
To comprehend all the laws of the Great Dao in a realm in order to have a chance to break through and enter the Transcendent Realm!
It has to be said that the difficulty of such advancement is simply hellish!
No wonder Saint Liu Yuan wants to cling to someone and seek opportunities, without thinking about relying on his own strength to ascend to the higher realm.
Liu Zimo glanced at Saint Liu Yuan in front of him, and the triggering of the law of insight directly reflected Saint Liu Yuan's cultivation realm in Liu Zimo's eyes.
[Name]: Liu Yuan
[Race]: Human
[Age]: 465,600
[Cultivation Realm]: Holy Realm (Incomplete)
[Laws of the Great Dao]: Life, Light, Metal, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Space (Incomplete), Yin and Yang (Incomplete), Time (Incomplete), Turtle's Breath (Incomplete)
"To actually comprehend seven complete versions of the laws of the Great Dao, and four incomplete versions!"
Liu Zimo checked the number of laws of the Great Dao that Saint Liu Yuan had mastered and nodded slightly.
No wonder this guy showed off so much when he first appeared.
The number of laws of the Great Dao he comprehended not only far exceeded that of the Immortal Turtle Demon Saint, but also more than twice that of the Azure Cloud Ancestor!
He indeed has the capital to be arrogant!
However, he only comprehended seven complete laws of the Great Dao. It is still far from comprehending all the laws of the Great Dao that currently exist in the Earth Realm, a difference of tens of thousands of miles!
Although Liu Zimo didn't know how many laws of the Great Dao were hidden in the Earth Realm.
But he himself has already comprehended a total of eighty-one laws of the Great Dao.
Even if it's just based on the eighty-one laws of the Great Dao he has comprehended, isn't Saint Liu Yuan lacking seventy-four laws of the Great Dao?
Seventy-four!
Just think about it, Saint Liu Yuan is already over four hundred thousand years old.
In other words, he spent over four hundred thousand years to barely comprehend and master seven complete versions of the laws of the Great Dao.
So, if he wants to catch up to Liu Zimo and completely comprehend the remaining seventy-four laws of the Great Dao, wouldn't it take him hundreds of millions or even billions of years?
Not to mention whether he can survive for that long.
Let's take a step back.
Even if he catches up to Liu Zimo's progress in comprehending the laws of the Great Dao and completely comprehends the eighty-one laws of the Great Dao.
This is only the limit of Liu Zimo's comprehension of the laws, not the limit of all the laws of the Great Dao that exist in the Earth Realm!
In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Saint Liu Yuan is so desperate and directly places his bet on Liu Zimo, this young man.
"What do you think?"
Saint Liu Yuan continued to transmit his voice to Liu Zimo and asked,
"If you agree to my conditions, the entire Jade Willow Sect will be at your command. Even I will become the protector of your family, relatives, and disciples!"
"As long as I don't die, they will be safe!"
Swish!
Liu Zimo waved his hand and retracted the law cage that enveloped Saint Liu Yuan, calmly looking at him and said,
"Still the same question, why should I trust you?"
Relying solely on a few words or an ancient sect, wanting Liu Zimo to entrust the safety of his family, friends, and direct disciples to Saint Liu Yuan, who is only a passing acquaintance, is naturally impossible.
If he wants to gain his trust, Saint Liu Yuan needs to show even greater sincerity.
"How about I make a Heavenly Oath?"
Seeing Liu Zimo retract the law cage, Saint Liu Yuan knew that this kid was already tempted, so he probed and asked.
"Not enough!" Liu Zimo shook his head slightly, "In addition to the Heavenly Oath, I also need a strand of your life soul as collateral!"
Saint Liu Yuan's mouth twitched.
Isn't this the method used by humans to control spirit beasts, to prevent them from betraying?
Damn, this little bastard is so cunning to come up with such a method to control me?
If it were someone else daring to humiliate him in this way, Sage Liu Yuan would have already rolled up his sleeves and fought to the death.
But now.
The one saying these words is an unparalleled genius who comprehended twenty major principles of the Great Dao at the age of twenty-one, a million-year-old hope for Ascension, the one who can lead him into the realm of transcendence!
Even if he wanted to lose his temper, he couldn't afford to!
Fighting is just talk.
What's more important is that he really doesn't want to tear his face with Liu Zimo. He still relies on Liu Zimo to ascend together in the future!
"Don't worry, it's just a strand of my soul. You don't need to sacrifice or swear allegiance to me. We can still be equals," Sage Liu Yuan said, seeing the embarrassment and hesitation in Liu Zimo's eyes.
"I just need an absolute guarantee of safety. Otherwise, I dare not entrust myself, as well as my family and friends, to your protection!"
"Also, I can make a solemn oath. If I can ascend to the realm of transcendence in the future, I will definitely take you with me. And the strand of your soul that is entrusted to me will be returned immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Sage Liu Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, calming his mind slightly.
Such words are acceptable after all.
If the roles were reversed, he would probably act the same if he were Liu Zimo.
After all, when it comes to the safety of one's own family and loved ones, no amount of caution is excessive.
"Alright!"
After hesitating for a while, Sage Liu Yuan decisively nodded and said, "I will follow Fellow Daoist Liu's words. But we need to find a relatively secluded place to have a detailed discussion. I don't want to be surrounded and watched by so many people!"
Liu Zimo nodded in understanding and agreed readily.
After all, he is a sage, and he always has to consider his reputation. It's completely understandable!
A moment later.
Liu Zimo led Sage Liu Yuan and Xia Qiuyu back to the spiritual energy sanctuary outside the city.
As soon as they entered the underground cave, Sage Liu Yuan felt a wave of fear and stared at the array patterns engraved on the surrounding walls of the cave.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you didn't set up some kind of trap here, intending to trap us to death, did you?" Sage Liu Yuan asked cautiously, with a feeling of being a lamb in a tiger's den, a fish on a chopping board.
Since stepping into this spiritual energy secret realm, his spiritual perception has been warning him repeatedly, giving him an unprecedented sense of crisis, making him inexplicably anxious.
Liu Zimo shook his head and chuckled upon hearing this.
"Liu Yuan, you're joking. If I wanted to trap and kill you and Fellow Daoist Xia, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble!"
Liu Yuan's face stiffened, unable to respond.
There was no way around it, what he said made a lot of sense.
If Liu Zimo wanted to trap and kill them, he could have easily done so with the previous laws and cages, without the need to bring them here and go through all this trouble.
But this spiritual realm gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
Every second he stayed here, he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if someone had a knife to his throat.
Who knows how many traps and snares Liu Zimo had set up here, even someone like him, a top-level saint, was finding it difficult to bear.
"Don't worry, Senior, I've only set up a saint-level protective formation here. As long as you and Fellow Daoist Xia don't wander around or release your divine senses recklessly, it'll be fine!"
Liu Zimo reminded Liu Yuan softly.
In fact, the reason he brought Liu Yuan here was to test the power of the formation he had set up before, using Liu Yuan as a test subject.
Now it seemed that even though it was still a work in progress, the defensive effect was not bad.
When it sensed the intrusion of unfamiliar divine senses, the protective formation would automatically activate its passive defense state, even completely suppressing the divine senses of a saint-level like Liu Yuan, making it impossible to penetrate the barrier of the formation.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan's thoughts moved, instantly retracting the divine senses he had been exploring with.
Swish!
In an instant, all the sense of danger that had enveloped him disappeared without a trace.
That feeling of heart-pounding fear, of being able to have his head chopped off at any moment, finally disappeared. Liu Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, quickly returning to his normal expression.
However, when he looked up at Liu Zimo again, a hint of admiration and awe unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
High cultivation, good comprehension, and instantly comprehending twenty complete Great Dao laws were one thing.
But the level of attainment he had in formations was also so profound and extraordinary!
A casually arranged formation could make him, a top-level saint, feel pressured and fearful, as if there was no escape from disaster!
This was not just impressive, it was incredibly impressive!
At the same time.
Liu Yuan also realized.
Liu Zimo deliberately displayed this formation to clearly tell him.
Even without him, this saint-level powerhouse protecting them, Liu Zimo had a way to protect his family and loved ones!
Not to mention anything else, just this saint-level protective formation in front of them could withstand the attacks of the vast majority of saint-level powerhouses! (End of this chapter)
