I Have an All-Knowing Mirror

Chapter 172: Perfected Divine Body

Hum—

The Grand Cycle of Cosmic Energy formed by the four elements of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water flowed like rivers returning to the sea, merging into the Great Cycle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements within Su Yuan's body.

It was as if an incomplete map had been slightly restored, and a sense of profound satisfaction rose in Su Yuan's heart.

Originally, the great cycle formed by the seven types of Cosmic Energy of Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements was already incomparably perfect.

But now, with the addition of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, what Su Yuan felt was not just perfection, but completion!

'To create a true world, one needs far more than just Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements.'

Su Yuan thought silently. He had long known a similar answer from the gray mirror, but his comprehension of it was now even more profound.

Whoosh— While Su Yuan was deep in thought, the Divine Body before him began to disintegrate, transforming into the four Cosmic Energies of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water before merging back into the world.

This was a normal phenomenon after a Player perished within the Divine Body World.

The so-called Divine Body was not a Flesh and Blood Body, but rather composed of pure energy.When an Imperial Citizen Player died and their consciousness dissipated, their Divine Body, composed of pure energy, lost the restraint of their Mental Will and naturally disintegrated as well.

As for the great cycle of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water that Su Yuan had devoured using the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art?

The target of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art was never simply energy; it devoured the very essence of the great cycle.

Even if it was just a wisp of the power of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, as long as it formed a cycle, it met Su Yuan's requirements for devouring.

In the Divine Body World, whether an Imperial Citizen Player was powerful or not did not depend on the amount of energy they possessed, but rather on the excavation and development of their own Great Cycle of Universal Power.

In merely a single night, Su Yuan had gained Tier 7 strength, enough to easily trample and obliterate Luoyang City.

What did he rely on?

Those few Spirit Medicines from the Bai Family's elixir pavilion?

Could that meager amount of Spirit Medicine pile up a Tier 7 Expert?

Absolutely impossible.

He relied on using those few Spirit Medicines as a foundation to construct the great cycle of the seven Cosmic Energies of Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements.

What truly granted Su Yuan his Tier 7 strength was the Great Cycle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

Not far away, the Luoyang City Lord also watched as Xuan Ming's Divine Body rapidly disintegrated.

He immediately realized that this Direct Descendant of the Xuan Family from the Dongyou Cosmic Human Empire was completely dead.

'A Tier 6 Expert, killed so easily...'

The Luoyang City Lord could not help but tremble inwardly.

Xuan Ming was not only a Tier 6 Expert, but his background and status were also incredibly lofty. Who knew how many hidden trump cards and contingencies he had brought with him, yet the result was still dying so silently.

From the Luoyang City Lord's perspective, the moment Xuan Ming noticed something was wrong and prepared to strike, Su Yuan appeared, and then Xuan Ming simply died.

Naturally, the Luoyang City Lord did not know that Su Yuan was crystal clear about all of Xuan Ming's hidden cards and backup plans.

Using the City Lord to lure Xuan Ming over this time was specifically aimed at countering those very life-saving measures.

With Su Yuan's Tier 7 strength, striking with calculated intent against an unprepared target, combined with the fact that he was launching a sneak attack from the shadows...

...no matter how many trump cards Xuan Ming had, he simply had no chance to use them. He perished before he could even react.

Exhale!

Inhale!

A little over ten breaths later.

The transformations within Su Yuan's body finally slowed to a halt.

The original Great Cycle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, comprising seven Cosmic Energies, became a bit more complete due to the integration of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.

'With my current Great Cycle of Universal Power, if I open up an Inner World, its initial radius will reach 80,000 kilometers.'

Su Yuan glanced at the gray mirror and received the latest answer.

If he further utilized the power of the World Tree Seed, the initial area of the Inner World he created would exceed a radius of 100,000 kilometers.

Compared to before entering the Divine Body World, the Inner World Su Yuan could have opened, even with the World Tree Seed's enhancement, would only have spanned a radius of 75,000 kilometers.

That was a total increase of 25,000 kilometers in radius.

What did a 25,000-kilometer radius mean? A normal early-stage Stellar Life Form's Inner World only had a radius of 5,000 kilometers.

"Lord, Xuan Ming is a Direct Descendant of the Xuan Family from the Dongyou Cosmic Human Empire. With his domineering personality and high-profile behavior, he absolutely won't let this matter rest,"

the Luoyang City Lord whispered as he steadied his nerves and stepped closer to Su Yuan.

An Imperial Citizen Player dying in the Divine Body World was not a true death.

They only needed to spend money to reconstruct their Divine Body and could descend into the Divine Body World once again.

Given Xuan Ming's character, dying inexplicably in Luoyang City would absolutely send him into a violent rage. It was almost a certainty that he would call upon his friends and return for revenge.

"I know."

Su Yuan nodded.

Since he had decided to strike against Xuan Ming, he naturally anticipated everything.

"Then when will you be leaving, Lord?"

the Luoyang City Lord asked tentatively.

Facing a furious Xuan Ming armed with a mob of allies, the best response was naturally to avoid the brunt of his wrath and leave Luoyang City.

After all, from beginning to end, Xuan Ming never knew who Su Yuan was. As long as he left early, even if Xuan Ming came knocking, it would be meaningless.

The Luoyang City Lord himself was already planning to abandon Luoyang City and find another place to develop.

"There's no need to leave."

Su Yuan smiled faintly. What he wanted was exactly for Xuan Ming to rally his friends and bring them over for revenge.

With Xuan Ming's status and talent, his friends were basically of the same tier or higher. The Great Cycles of Universal Power they mastered would mostly all be useful to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan couldn't wait to welcome them; why would he leave on his own initiative?

In a star sector unimaginably far from Bluestar, upon a life-bearing planet.

Xuan Ming, with his silver hair and silver eyes, dressed in luxurious attire, sat there blankly, his face plastered with thick disbelief.

"I died?"

"How did I die?"

Xuan Ming was somewhat dazed. His last memory was noticing that something was off with the Luoyang City Lord and suspecting he was being deceived. Then, he saw a young man appear by his side, raising his right hand and pressing it down toward him.

Immediately after, Xuan Ming lost consciousness, and his Mental Will exited the Divine Body World.

And this was precisely the hallmark of dying in the Divine Body World.

"Dammit!"

"To actually dare sneak attack me!"

After his initial confusion, Xuan Ming immediately flew into a violent rage.

He, Xuan Ming, was a Direct Descendant of the Xuan Family in the Dongyou Cosmic Human Empire. His father was the second Successor-in-line to the Xuan Family; his status and identity were unspeakably noble.

Yet he had inexplicably died in some remote corner of the Divine Body World?

How could this be acceptable?

Xuan Ming didn't care about having to reconstruct his Divine Body upon re-entering the Divine Body World after dying.

What infuriated him was the very fact that he had been killed.

"I will definitely take revenge for this."

Xuan Ming's expression darkened as he opened the map of the Divine Body World, pinpointing the exact location of his death. 'Luoyang City?'

Subsequently, Xuan Ming began calling upon his circle of friends.

Of course, Xuan Ming wasn't a fool either. Anyone capable of killing him silently—even through a sneak attack—possessed strength that could not be underestimated. It had to be a Tier 7 Expert, or perhaps even a peak Tier 7.

Therefore, the helpers Xuan Ming sought out absolutely could not be lower than Tier 7.

"Di Fansi, do me a favor..."

"Ross Viter, I seem to remember you owe me a favor?"

"Eldest Brother Chaxi, I was schemed against in the Divine Body World. You have to seek justice for me..."

In no time, Xuan Ming had gathered eighteen friends.

Among these eighteen friends, the weakest possessed Tier 7 strength, and the strongest had even reached Tier 8. In the Divine Body World, achieving Tier 8 strength was no easy feat. One either had to master a cosmic energy cycle containing seven types of Cosmic Energy—placing them among peerless monstrous geniuses.

As long as one attained a Perfected Divine Body, they would naturally possess Tier 8 strength.

Or, they needed extremely profound comprehension of their own Great Cycle of Universal Power. Theoretically, any Imperial Citizen had the potential to reach Tier 9.

The Tier 8 Expert Xuan Ming found was named Chaxi Zhuiyuan, a collateral branch member of the Royal Family in the Dongyou Cosmic Human Empire. The two had a very good relationship, which was why he was able to invite him.

'With Eldest Brother Chaxi here, no matter where you flee to, it will be useless...'

The violent rage in Xuan Ming's heart eased slightly.

With his Life Level and the speed at which his mind operated, he was naturally prepared for the possibility that his sneak attacker would flee far from Luoyang City.

This was also the most logical course of action.

Xuan Ming had anticipated this long ago. Among the helpers he mobilized, Chaxi Zhuiyuan was not only the strongest at Tier 8, but he also excelled in tracking techniques.

As long as the target had stayed in a place, they could not evade Chaxi Zhuiyuan's tracking and locking.

'One week at most...'

Xuan Ming thought to himself. His friends were scattered across the Eastern Barrens, and some were even outside the Eastern Barrens. It would take time for them to rush over and assemble.

Coupled with the fact that Xuan Ming had to re-enter the Divine Body World and push his Divine Body from the entry stage to perfection, even with the experience of having done it several times, it would still require time.

Adding all this time together, it would be at least a week before they could arrive outside Luoyang City again.

Although a week was a bit long, Xuan Ming didn't care. In his eyes, it merely meant letting Su Yuan live for a few more days.

Luoyang City, City Lord's Mansion.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged within his cultivation Quiet Room.

Placed in front of him were several items.

They consisted of an article of clothing engraved with complex patterns, a pair of pitch-black shoes faintly rippling with the cycle of Cosmic Energy, and a silver bead.

These items naturally came from Xuan Ming and were his Life-Saving Items.

The clothes possessed an extremely potent defensive effect. As long as the Great Cycle of Universal Power beneath the patterns was activated, it could entirely block any attack below Tier 8.

As for the shoes, once activated, they would grant speed comparable to a Tier 8 Expert, making them the ultimate item for escape.

And the silver bead? It contained a massive amount of life force. No matter how severe the injury, it could be used to preserve one's life.

Relying on these Life-Saving Items, Xuan Ming, this Direct Descendant of the Xuan Family, could hardly be dealt with by ordinary Tier 7 Experts even though he was only at Tier 6.

If Su Yuan hadn't been aware of his every hidden card and had attacked recklessly, the chances of letting him escape would have been incredibly high.

'These treasures are all astronomically expensive in the Divine Body World...'

Su Yuan thought to himself. He actually didn't need these Life-Saving Items, but he could absolutely sell them in exchange for the treasure resources he required.

'Time to continue cultivating.'

Storing away the three items before him, Su Yuan closed his eyes and resumed his cultivation.

The Great Cycle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, having integrated the cycle of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, surpassed its previous state in both perfection and depth, requiring Su Yuan to spend time slowly comprehending it.

Virtual World Network, Personal Space.

Su Yuan sat in a recliner. Before long, Ye Kunlun's figure materialized not far away.

"Lord."

Ye Kunlun greeted him with a respectful tone.

"Mm."

Su Yuan cast a glance at Ye Kunlun, perfectly clear about his purpose for coming.

In the 'Infinite Bloodlines' World, the relationship between Ye Kunlun and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's Young Princess, Feng Lingzhu, had developed rapidly. Under Feng Lingzhu's proposal, she planned for Ye Kunlun to travel to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's Ancestral Land to meet her elders.

Of course, even now, Ye Kunlun still did not know Feng Lingzhu's true identity. However, leaving Bluestar and heading to a completely unknown place was a major step.

Ye Kunlun was naturally very cautious about this. Although he liked Feng Lingzhu very much, he wasn't stupid; he knew he needed to come and consult Su Yuan before making a decision.

"I am currently..."

Ye Kunlun immediately laid out the choices he was facing, not hiding anything.

"Lord, do you think I should go or not?"

Ye Kunlun asked carefully.

"Go."

Su Yuan stated in a flat tone.

Ye Kunlun's talent and aptitude might be considered breathtakingly brilliant on Bluestar, but when measured on the scale of the Cosmic Starry Sky, he was incomparably ordinary.

Moreover, for Bloodline Evolver Cultivators, their greatest advantage was their bloodline, and their greatest flaw was also their bloodline. A powerful bloodline allowed them to advance by leaps and bounds in the early stages.

But their upper limit was also rigidly locked in.

If Ye Kunlun wanted to raise his upper limit, heading to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's Ancestral Land was one of the best choices.

Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan also knew that Ye Kunlun would undergo a series of trials at the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's Ancestral Land.

In the end, Ye Kunlun would successfully pass these trials, earn the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's cultivation, and thereby push forward Su Yuan's grand schemes in the future.

"Understood."

Ye Kunlun nodded immediately.

Although he didn't know Su Yuan's reasoning for telling him to go,

over this long period of time, Ye Kunlun had developed a nearly blind trust in Su Yuan.

As long as he followed Su Yuan's guidance, everything would become incomparably simple.

Conversely, doing otherwise would make things exceptionally complicated.

'The Heavenly Phoenix Clan...'

Watching Ye Kunlun log out of the Personal Space, Su Yuan's gaze was deep and serene.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan did not belong to the human race. Their tribe was unusually mysterious, and their Ancestral Land was situated in the deepest layer of space. Unless they received the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's consent, no expert could approach or enter it.

Ye Kunlun having the opportunity to head to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's Ancestral Land was entirely the result of Feng Lingzhu's earnest pleading.

Time flowed by.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Divine Body World.

Luoyang City, City Lord's Mansion.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged, feeling the constant entanglement and collision of various Cosmic Energies within his body.

'After integrating the four Cosmic Energies of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, the grand cycle of my Divine Body has clearly become much more stable.'

Su Yuan thought to himself, knowing that the path he was currently walking was the correct one.

Whether it was the answer given by the gray mirror or his current sensations,

both proved this point.

Rumble—

Right at this moment, the seven Cosmic Energies of Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements within Su Yuan's body continuously collided, rapidly elevating to a brand-new level.

This level made Su Yuan's Divine Body more harmonious and far more powerful.

"My Divine Body is finally perfected."

A smile surfaced on Su Yuan's face.
