I Have an All-Knowing Mirror

Chapter 132: World Tree Seed

"Thank you, Lord."

Ye Kunlun paused for a moment, assuming Su Yuan was encouraging him, and immediately replied with gratitude.

It sounded like words of encouragement, similar to saying "you will definitely succeed."

In reality, when Su Yuan mentioned it was fated by destiny, it was not meant as encouragement.

He meant it in the purely literal sense—it was destined to happen and destined to be realized.

To obtain the future he desired, Su Yuan had been pushing this matter forward for a long time.

Healing Ye Kunlun, having him practice the Heavenly Phoenix Nine Revolutions Nirvana Sacred Method, and guiding him into the Infinite Bloodlines world...

And so on.

Why did Feng Lingzhu develop a favorable impression of Ye Kunlun and eventually fall in love with him? One of the reasons was that Ye Kunlun had practiced the Heavenly Phoenix Nine Revolutions Nirvana Sacred Method, causing his soul and will to carry a pure Heavenly Phoenix Aura.

"Wait a few more days and see. She might just be busy in reality,"Su Yuan said casually.

"Alright."

Ye Kunlun nodded.

After chatting for a little while longer, Ye Kunlun stood up and took his leave.

Inside the empty Personal Space, Su Yuan was once again left alone.

"This painting..."

Su Yuan stared at the painting before him, which was drawn entirely using the Power of Extreme Yang and the Power of Extreme Yin.

It was composed entirely of black and white, with Yin and Yang rotating endlessly.

However, upon closer inspection, one could see that there were still portions within the image that had not yet been covered by the Dual Powers.

'What a pity. It is still lacking a bit,'

'When I can completely saturate the painting with the powers of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang without damaging the artwork itself, that will be the moment I fully comprehend them,'

Su Yuan thought to himself.

How violent were the Power of Extreme Yang and the Power of Extreme Yin? To confine them within a piece of paper, form a perfect balance, and yet not damage the fragile material...

It meant that Su Yuan had to completely control and fully comprehend the powers of Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin.

'The powers of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang...'

Su Yuan gathered his thoughts and simultaneously asked the gray mirror deep within his sea of consciousness, "Latest body data!"

The hazy surface of the gray mirror surged, and lines of text surfaced one after another.

[Life Level: Level 9 (1%)]

[Power of Extreme Yang: 98%]

[Power of Extreme Yin: 98%]

[Combat Bonus: 4910%]

After fully comprehending those three Superior-grade Martial Arts Manuals, Su Yuan's understanding of the Power of Extreme Yang and the Power of Extreme Yin had reached 98%.

Since then, it had been difficult to make even the slightest bit of progress.

'Have I... encountered a bottleneck?'

Su Yuan pondered in his heart, but then he shook his head. 'I wouldn't exactly call it a bottleneck. I just need to wait a little longer for now.'

A so-called bottleneck meant not knowing when a breakthrough could occur. It was highly possible to be stuck for a long time, or even fail to break through for the rest of one's life.

But for Su Yuan?

Although he was temporarily halted at 98%, he knew exactly when he would break through and the specific details of the breakthrough process.

'A forty-nine-fold Combat Bonus...'

Su Yuan looked at the Combat Bonus column, a brief look of contemplation crossing his face.

A forty-nine-fold Combat Bonus was still at the Second-Rank stage. As for the First Rank? A Combat Bonus required at least a sixty-fold multiplier.

And to achieve that, one generally had to be at the Mid-Stage Cosmic Life level.

Experts at the Mid-Stage Cosmic Life level had at least fully comprehended a certain Cosmic Force and possessed the immense Mental Will of the mid-stage.

Only by combining the two could they push their Combat Bonus to a sixty-fold multiplier.

'However...'

Su Yuan calculated inwardly, 'I only need to fully comprehend the Power of Extreme Yang and the Power of Extreme Yin to push my Combat Bonus past sixty-fold.'

Even without the blessing of the massive Mental Will of the mid-stage, the powers of Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin were two distinct types of Cosmic Force. Furthermore, they mutually generated and restrained each other.

Once fully comprehended, it would trigger a qualitative transformation for Su Yuan.

'First Rank...'

A smile blossomed on Su Yuan's face.

To reach the level of a First-Rank Master while still being a Planetary Lifeform—let alone in the Broken Void World, even across the thirty-six great cosmic human empires, or even within the three supreme cosmic human empires—achieving such a feat was incredibly rare.

It was difficult to produce even one such genius in hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of years.

Even if one did appear, it would be the result of countless resources being piled on them and the support of an incredibly noble bloodline.

But what about Su Yuan? He relied entirely on himself.

"The reset time is up. Time to challenge Myriad Labyrinths!"

With a thought, Su Yuan logged into the Virtual World Network and descended into the world of Myriad Labyrinths.

The thirty-first labyrinth.

The moment Su Yuan's consciousness arrived, he immediately understood the test and clearing conditions for this labyrinth level.

To save time, Su Yuan directly asked for the shortest method and steps to clear this level.

The thirty-first labyrinth was cleared.

Next was the thirty-second labyrinth.

Then the thirty-third.

All the way until the final fortieth labyrinth.

Armed with the methods and steps provided by the gray mirror, Su Yuan faced no hindrances. He swiftly cleared the stages in a mere five or six hours.

'The purpose of Myriad Labyrinths is to nurture Military Strategists.'

After clearing ten labyrinths in a row, even without asking the gray mirror, Su Yuan understood the ultimate goal of Myriad Labyrinths.

It was to train strategists, specifically strategists specialized in warfare.

'Alien Races...'

Su Yuan fell into deep thought.

The goal behind nurturing Military Strategists was naturally to deal with other Alien Races.

The Universe was incredibly vast. The thirty-six cosmic empires established by humanity were just one faction among many.

Besides the thirty-six cosmic human empires, there were other powers comprised of Alien Races that stood in opposition to the human empires.

Strictly speaking, the Phoenix Clan could also be considered an Alien Race. However, their numbers were exceedingly low, so they didn't need to compete with human empires for Territory and resources.

Therefore, their relationship with the human empires was relatively harmonious. The bloodline of the Phoenix Clan was even widely circulated among bloodline cultivators and evolvers within the human empires.

'Thinking about Alien Races is still too distant a concern for now.'

Su Yuan steadied his mind. Even if other Alien Races existed, the human empires remained one of the apex powers in the vast Universe, standing at the summit as overseers.

"The reward for the fortieth labyrinth..."

The notification voice of the Myriad Labyrinths world rang in Su Yuan's ears.

"Congratulations on clearing the fortieth labyrinth. Please choose one of the following three rewards."

"Reward 1: Level 20 Guardian!"

"Reward 2: Level 20 Bright God Armor!"

"Reward 3: Dead World Tree Seed!"

Three choices appeared in front of Su Yuan.

The first was the Level 20 Guardian.

Guardians were highly intelligent robots. A Level 20 Guardian meant this robot possessed the strength of a Level 20 Lifeform, putting it on par with a Mid-Stage Cosmic Life.

Guardian-type smart robots contained a level of technology far surpassing the Artificial Humans created by The Truth Society; the two were completely incomparable. As for the Level 20 Bright God Armor, it was a type of life-saving equipment. The Light Armor created by the president of The Truth Society was actually modeled after the Bright God Armor.

Once equipped, the Level 20 Bright God Armor could effortlessly block attacks from Mid-Stage Cosmic Lifeforms at level 20 for Su Yuan.

Whether it was the Guardian or the Bright God Armor,

they were both top-tier life-saving items.

The fortieth labyrinth offered these two rewards to prioritize the strategist's personal safety.

'Life-saving items?'

Su Yuan shook his head slightly.

Instead, he shifted his gaze to the third reward.

He had no need for life-saving items.

Or more accurately, Su Yuan didn't have much of a desire for them.

Because there simply weren't any dangers he would have to face.

'A dead World Tree Seed!'

A strange glint flashed across Su Yuan's face.

For a Later-Stage Cosmic Life to break through to the Stellar Life Form level, they had to open an internal pocket world.

Without the support of an internal pocket world, how could a human's Physical Body possibly burst forth with might comparable to a star?

Opening an internal pocket world was immensely difficult, but a World Tree Seed could assist in the process.

Because of this, the value of a World Tree Seed was terrifyingly high. Countless Later-Stage Cosmic Life experts yearned to acquire one.

Of course, this referred to a living World Tree Seed.

Only a living World Tree Seed could serve the purpose of assisting in the opening of an internal pocket world.

As for a dead World Tree Seed?

Its value was far, far lower.

A dead World Tree Seed was roughly equivalent in value to a Level 20 Guardian or a Level 20 Bright God Armor.

'The dead World Tree Seed rewarded by the fortieth labyrinth isn't completely dead. With my methods, I can absolutely "resurrect" it...'

Su Yuan thought silently to himself.

As for the price of "resurrecting" this dead World Tree Seed... it was far lower than acquiring a living one.

'This is practically picking up a treasure for nothing...'

Su Yuan sighed with emotion and directly selected the third reward.

A living World Tree Seed, whether he used it himself or sold it to other Later-Stage Cosmic Life experts,

would allow Su Yuan to make a massive profit.

"The dead World Tree Seed will be dispatched in approximately two months."

The notification from the Myriad Labyrinths world chimed.

"Good."

Su Yuan nodded.

This dead World Tree Seed wasn't mass-produced like the Guardians or Bright God Armor. It came from a critical location within the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire, and the shipping procedures were highly complex.

Su Yuan didn't mind waiting. Given his current strength, even if the World Tree Seed arrived right now, it wouldn't be of any use to him.

Time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, another month passed.

On this day, Su Yuan halted his cultivation, stepped out of his warship on the North Pole continent, and gazed up at Bluestar's outer space.

At the Interstellar Dock stationed in Bluestar's outer space, spaceships were constantly coming and going, either docking or departing.

This was the result of the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire's recent intervention. As Bluestar integrated into the Universe, trade gradually expanded, and the number of ships traveling to and from the planet rapidly surged.

At this moment, an ordinary-looking spaceship descended toward Bluestar.

Loaded on this ordinary spaceship was none other than the Yin-Yang Blood Pool sent by Tega Chiyun.

After more than three months and over a hundred transit steps, the Yin-Yang Blood Pool had finally arrived safely at Bluestar.

Su Yuan had long instructed his Artificial Humans to wait at the Interstellar Dock. The moment the ship landed, the Yin-Yang Blood Pool inside was retrieved.

As a cosmic wonder, the Yin-Yang Blood Pool was five meters long and three meters wide. It was sealed within a black crate, preventing even the slightest trace of its aura from leaking out.

Soon.

The Yin-Yang Blood Pool was delivered directly to Su Yuan.

"The Yin-Yang Blood Pool!"

Su Yuan's expression was slightly excited. This cosmic wonder would not only help him directly skip the initial stage and reach the mid-stage when breaking through to become a Starry Sky Lifeform,

but it would also serve as one of his primary auxiliary cultivation methods during the Starry Sky Lifeform phase.

Pausing for a moment, Su Yuan slowly opened the black crate, revealing the Yin-Yang Blood Pool inside.

Slosh...

The actual Yin-Yang Blood Pool was entirely blood-red, crystal clear like translucent quartz.

To Su Yuan, this Yin-Yang Blood Pool seemed to possess boundless attraction. He stared at it intently, observing every single detail on its surface.

Su Yuan was observing the most microscopic structure of the Yin-Yang Blood Pool, sensing the specific combination of the Dual Powers of Yin and Yang within.

"Too perfect," Su Yuan murmured as he looked on. "For the powers of Yin and Yang to combine in this way and actually form such stable matter..."

It was exactly like his attempt to compress the Power of Extreme Yang and the Power of Extreme Yin entirely into a single painting.

Compressing the powers of Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin—which were far from being physical matter—into a piece of paper was incredibly difficult. It required Su Yuan to fully comprehend Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang to achieve.

But what about the Yin-Yang Blood Pool before his eyes?

The massive Power of Extreme Yang contained within it had already materialized into a solid state, and they were combined so tightly, so perfectly...

It was simply beyond comprehension.

'Knowing about it and seeing it with my own eyes are two entirely different things.'

Su Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had already learned everything about the Yin-Yang Blood Pool from the gray mirror.

He knew the Yin-Yang Blood Pool was a cosmic wonder composed entirely of the powers of Yin and Yang.

As for how it was formed or combined? The gray mirror had explained some of it, but Su Yuan hadn't felt deeply moved by the explanation.

But now?

Seeing every trace of the combination of the powers of Yin and Yang with his own eyes, the shock in Su Yuan's heart was palpable.

'No wonder the gray mirror's answer stated that the moment I laid eyes on the Yin-Yang Blood Pool, I would be inspired, taking my comprehension of Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin a step further.'

As Su Yuan's thoughts raced, he immersed his entire mind into the Yin-Yang Blood Pool before him.

As time ticked by, Su Yuan perceived more and more of the Yin-Yang Blood Pool's structure, even faintly sensing the holistic unification of the various powers of Yin and Yang.

Buzz, buzz, buzz... Su Yuan's pupils split into two; one represented Extreme Yin, and the other represented Extreme Yang, both colliding and spinning against each other.

"Hmm?" Su Yuan suddenly snapped back to reality. The divided pupils in his eyes merged back into one, returning to normal.

Su Yuan paid it no mind. In the process of comprehending Cosmic Force, one would invariably be influenced by it to some extent. The physical bodies and souls of Stellar Life Forms had long since transformed to better align with the form of the Cosmic Force they resonated with.

'I feel that my comprehension of the Power of Extreme Yang and the Power of Extreme Yin has reached a whole new level.'

Su Yuan closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the Dual Powers of Yin and Yang deep within his gaze had grown even more dense.

'But I still can't combine and fuse the Dual Powers of Yin and Yang as perfectly as this Yin-Yang Blood Pool does.' Su Yuan continued to gaze at the pool in front of him, secretly sighing in his heart.

The formation of the Yin-Yang Blood Pool was entirely natural. It was the most organic method of combining the powers of Yin and Yang. As long as he fully comprehended it, it would bring immense benefits to Su Yuan's future path.

"Latest body data,"

Su Yuan asked the gray mirror deep within his sea of consciousness.

Ripple... The hazy surface of the gray mirror surged, providing the answer.

[Life Level: Level 9 (1%)]

[Power of Extreme Yang: 99%]

[Power of Extreme Yin: 99%]

[Combat Bonus: 5050%]
