Chapter 205: The Big Bang
“What do I want?” The first thing that Tianyi thought of was more Heavenly Scriptures. Right now, Tianyi felt that he was reaching the limit of his current cultivation realm. Sect Master Xia’s words were like sending coal in during snow. It couldn’t have come at a better time. It was just that Tianyi didn’t know whether his request could be completed.
“Are there any more Heavenly Scriptures available? It doesn’t have to be the original. Something that originated from the Ten Heavenly Scriptures like the Lotus Soul Ascension Art or the Thirty-Six Heavenly Constellation Art is fine.” Tianyi said.
Sect Master Xia hesitated.
The Buzhou Immortal Sect was known to have the Primordial Heavenly Scripture, the Five Phase Heavenly Scripture, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Constellation Art descended from the Stellar Heavenly Scripture, and the flawed Lotus Soul Ascension Art descended from the Soulheart Heavenly Scripture.
This meant that the Buzhuo Immortal Sect had four of the ten Heavenly Scriptures. Even the Eight Pillars Sect only had the Extreme Yin Mantra and Extreme Yang Tempering Method descended from the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture, three less than the Buzhou Immortal Sect, and an incomplete one at that.
Because of this, the Buzhou Immortal Sect had suffered the attacks of numerous forces in the past, including those from other continents, but without exception, they all failed. They had even exterminated numerous first-rate forces, mainly from the Heaven Continent, proving their strength and cowing the greed in others’ hearts.
But did the Buzhou Immortal Sect really only have four of the ten Heavenly Scriptures? To the unknowing members, they may think it was already impressive, but Sect Master Xia had visited the forbidden grounds, so he knew that the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s foundation was deeper than their wildest imagination.
It wasn’t that Sect Master Xia wasn’t willing to impart any of the Ten Heavenly Scriptures to Tianyi, but there was always the chance of information leaking. He didn’t think Tianyi would willingly leak such vital secrets, but there was never a leakless secret. The fewer people who knew, the better.
“I’ll consider it.” Sect Master Xia decided to consult with the Concealed Emperor. In a sense, Tianyi could now be considered a secret of the Buzhou Immortal Sect too. “Do you have any other requests?”
Tianyi held his chin and thought for a while before he recalled his attempt to form different states of qi. He had already partially succeeded with the liquid state, ye, and now, he needed to find a way to form the solid state of qi. “Is it possible to give me a spirit stone vein?”
“What kind? Low, mid, or high?” Sect Master Xia asked.
“It must be hard to part with even one. Even a low quality is fi—huh?” Tianyi said. Spirit stone veins were essential resources. How could he get one just for something he made in a year? Tianyi shook his head, paused, and looked at Sect Master Xia again. “Could you repeat that?”
“What kind of spirit stone vein do you want? Low, mid, or high?” Sect Master Xia repeated again.
“I can get a high-quality spirit stone vein?” Tianyi said with disbelief. He pointed at the pseudo realm in Sect Master Xia’s hand. “Is it really that valuable?”
Sect Master Xia nodded. “Yes, even trading ten spirit stone veins for one is very worth it.”
Tianyi nodded, surprised that something he took a year to make would be more valuable than something that might take hundreds of thousands of years to millions of years to form. Still, this was good news for him. As long as he continued to create pseudo realms, he would receive endless resources from the sect.
Seeing that Tianyi accepted, Sect Master Xia left. Although a high-quality spirit stone vein wasn’t worth as much as a pseudo realm, Sect Master Xia still had to do some preparations. Almost all the high-quality spirit stone veins were being mined right now, so he needed time to prepare one for Tianyi. Not to mention, if he just gave Tianyi a spirit stone vein without reason, it would incur too much attention.
Before all this, Sect Master Xia quickly informed the Concealed Emperor of Tianyi’s request. He didn’t think it would matter much to give Tianyi some of the hidden Heavenly Scriptures within the Immortal Court, but the true ruler of the Immortal Court was the Concealed Emperor. If the Concealed Emperor rejected Tianyi’s request, then Sect Master Xia could only ask Tianyi to think of something else.
Sect Master Xia didn’t think that the Concealed Emperor would reject Tianyi’s request. Over twenty years ago, the Concealed Emperor had split a portion of the Immortal Court and turned it into a secret realm. It resulted in the Three Heavens Connection Meeting that Tianyi attended.
At the time, Sect Master Xia had questioned why the Concealed Emperor had taken such an action, but in hindsight, he realized the Concealed Emperor must have seen something special in Tianyi. However, he wondered if it was worth losing that portion of the Immortal Court for Tianyi.
“Concept gaining sapience?” Tianyi muttered. He knew that the Heavenly Scriptures were created out of the Ten Supreme Laws of the universe. So, according to Sect Master Xia, the Three Pure Ones were lifeforms formed out of laws. If that was the case, no wonder they were worshipped as gods. “What did the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginnings cultivate?”
Sect Master Xia gave Tianyi a meaningful smile. “The Primordial Heavenly Scripture.”
Tianyi rubbed his chin. Hehe, kind of makes me his successor in a way, right? He stopped as he recalled the Three Pure True Self Visualization Technique and wondered what relationship the technique had with the Three Pure Ones. He looked at Sect Master Xia and wondered if she should ask if the sect master had heard of the technique.
After contemplating a bit, Tianyi decided not to. The reason was still the same: he was too weak. What if Sect Master Xia discovered something strange and wanted to exterminate or lock him up? True, his mother was a grand elder, but what would she do if she discovered the truth?
While Tianyi was thinking, Tianyi arrived at the palace, but unlike when Sect Master Xia visited, the Concealed Emperor was not present. Nor did Sect Master Xia mention anything about the Concealed Emperor.
“Sect Master, what does the Buzhou Immortal Sect plan to do?” Tianyi asked after seeing the palace where the court was held. He could already imagine the scene of the Jade Emperor ruling over numerous divinities who had been conferred ranks and titles.
“Little Xi, right now, you are still too weak. Sometimes, knowing too much isn’t good for you.” Sect Master Xia said, sealing Tianyi’s question.
Seeing Tianyi obediently restrain his curiosity, Sect Master Xia inwardly nodded. He motioned for Tianyi to stand in front of the throne. “Come here.”
Tianyi stepped towards where Sect Master Xia had instructed, wondering what the purpose was. He had come because Sect Master Xia said this was the only place he could receive the Heavenly Scripture.
Once in position, Sect Master Xia motioned Tianyi to gaze at the throne. Tianyi did so, although with much confusion. The confusion didn’t last long as the golden throne exuded a divine light and entered Tianyi’s glabella, causing his eyes to glaze over.
Sect Master Xia bowed towards the throne that was once again occupied. He wondered why the Concealed Emperor didn’t reveal himself to Tianyi but didn’t question it much.
“Concealed Emperor, is it really prudent to show Disciple Xi that?” Sect Master Xia asked.
“I have my plans.” The Concealed Emperor said, not answering Sect Master Xia’s question. Instead, the immortal emperor focused his attention on Tianyi, having been the first time the two had met face-to-face, albeit one looked as if he had lost his soul.
When Tianyi came to, he discovered that he was transported to a strange colorless space. It wasn’t black because color did not exist. There was no light and no darkness. There was not even space or time, but Tianyi didn’t panic.
His body didn’t seem to exist, but Tianyi had another reason why he didn’t worry about that. His current state seemed to be similar to when he had used Realm Merge and fused with the Vast Heaven Islands. Even when he had fused with the Vast Heaven Islands, Tianyi discovered that he would become highly logical and calm, so he wasn’t surprised.
The final reason he wasn’t panicking was that he trusted Sect Master Xia. The reason he became like this was because of the light from the divine throne, so it should be related to the Heavenly Scripture, or maybe he is receiving the inheritance right now. I wonder what Heavenly Scripture I am receiving. Perhaps I should have asked which ones the sect had and chosen one.
As time passed, Tianyi discovered that he was abnormally calm, far more than when he used Realm Merge as if he had lost all his emotions. He didn’t become a completely emotionless being like a machine, but he wasn’t far off. Despite eons seemingly passing, he was able to wait patiently.
A change. Tianyi thought.
The strange dimension began to gather and coalescent into a sphere. Tianyi discovered that dimension was forming an egg. The process seemed like it took forever, yet it also seemed to have happened in an instant. Tianyi wasn’t sure which.
As the strange dimension entirely formed into an egg, nothing else existed. There was only the primordial egg.
Tianyi had a sense of suspicion of what he was seeing. And as he expected, the egg exploded, and there was spacetime, light, darkness, colors, and so much more.
The primordial cosmos had been born.
