Chapter 1200: Chapter 520 Baptism of the Mysterious Substance, Upstream in Time to the Past!
The surface of the river.
Jiang Yuan gazed above and upstream, where endless chaos and fog enveloped the area.
He then turned his head to look downstream on the vast river surface, where even greater darkness stretched on endlessly.
The next moment.
Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze, his body straining to rise above the river’s surface.
In an instant, his neck emerged above the surface, but with it came immense restrictive forces.
It felt like there were countless iron chains binding every inch of his muscles, shackling his body and preventing him from rising further.
After attempting for a short while, he managed only to expose his chest above the surface of the river.
Subsequently, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes, quietly floating above the surface, feeling his own metamorphosis.
For as he extended his body out of the river, he suddenly felt countless substances from the Land of Voidness above entering his body.
This substance was extremely mysterious; he could neither see it nor touch it, only sensing the changes through awareness of his body.
With the baptism of this mysterious substance, Jiang Yuan immediately felt that every part of his body was undergoing transformation, becoming even stronger.
It wasn’t just his physical body; the dharma-power within him also transformed with the baptism of this mysterious substance, becoming a higher form of power.
"Am I being baptized by the energy of the outer world?"
"Could this be the powerful source of the path to transcendence?"
Jiang Yuan muttered inwardly.
At the same time, as Jiang Yuan stepped out from the surface of the Time River, his action seemed to have drawn the attention of the river itself.
The surface began to surge, rolling up waves.
The waves grew stronger and higher by the moment.
Each wave contained copious amounts of silver sand that incessantly pelted Jiang Yuan’s head.
At this moment, he seemed like a rock standing amidst the sea, continuously splitting the oncoming waves.
"This must be the will of the river, preventing the beings inside from stepping out of this domain!" Jiang Yuan murmured to himself.
He then sighed softly, "Unfortunately, I lack a higher level of heritage and insight, and without the guidance of predecessors, I can only speculate in my heart."
"However, as far as I know, the outside is the so-called endless Sea of Chaos, and I am in a tributary of the Time River."
"Now that I’ve reached out from the river, the mysterious substance I’m feeling must be from the materials of the endless Sea of Chaos, which are higher-level substances."
"This must also be the reason why Immortal Dao powerhouses are so powerful. They’ve harnessed the Time Power, stepped onto the path of transcendence, and with every step out of the Time River, they’re baptized by external substances, causing their life forms to transform towards a higher level of life, thereby becoming stronger!"
"If this speculation is true, then the powerful foundation of the Immortal Path Domain isn’t the so-called True Immortal Dao Fruits or Immortal Venerable’s Dao Fruits, but rather this path touches upon the most fundamental force, which is the power of time."
"Mastering the power of time is the core path to transcendence!"
"After all, the origin of this world stems from the Time River I find myself within."
"First came the emergence of time, followed by the emergence of space, the formation of Time and Space, then came the Universe with all directions, giving birth to a complete world."
While sensing the changes within his body, Jiang Yuan quietly pondered.
As for the increasingly strong waves, they posed no influence on him.
After a long while.
Jiang Yuan perceived that several hours had passed.
Suddenly, he felt the baptism of the mysterious substance cease.
The next moment, he opened his eyes.
Right before him, a huge, surging wave rolled up, shining with countless sparkling Silver Stars.
In front of him, with only his chest exposed, the rising massive wave seemed to engulf the sky, instantly covering his entire field of vision.
A few breaths later.
Boom—
A loud rumbling resounded in his ears.
Jiang Yuan slightly closed his eyes, and after more than a dozen breaths, as the storm gradually calmed, he once again saw the chaos and fog above him.
He then clenched his fist, slightly feeling the change within his body, and murmured, "Strange changes, everything seems as before, no different from the past, yet they have increased my strength by roughly two and a half times."
"Could this be the strong reason behind the life forms on the path to transcendence?"
"My current strength is far superior to that of the True Immortal Realm!"
Having said that, he began to sort through the makeup of his strength in his mind.
Having embarked on a new path, my realm has reached an unknown domain, the True Spirit Realm.
It isn’t known yet what the strength of this realm is equivalent to within the Immortal Path Domain because my current strength structure is too complex, too diverse to be measured solely by the True Spirit Realm.
Beyond that, in the system of cultivation, I’m also an overwhelmingly powerful Original Life Form. Just being an Original Life Form, I can effortlessly crush true immortals, unafraid of Immortal Venerables!
Moreover, there are the bonuses from my Primordial Holy Body and various other physique characteristics!
At this thought, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head.
Indeed, my current strength composition is too complex.
I have no idea what level I’m at.
But what’s certain is that my strength is extremely powerful, enough to rival an Immortal Venerable.
And this powerful strength, after emerging from the river and accepting the baptism of the outside world’s mysterious substance, grew by more than two and a half times within just these few hours.
