Chapter 1802: A Dream Through Four Revolutions

The Saintly Forest Stele was naturally not the Dao Monarch in person. It was merely a remnant, an inheritance left by the Dao Monarch. The Saintly Forest Courtyard had merely failed to figure out the stele's actual usage.

The stele not only had the ability to judge one's potential, but it also contained humanity's supreme martial mantra. Xiang Shaoyun was lucky enough to obtain a part of the mantra from his master. That was why he had been able to obtain a portion of the mantra from the stele, allowing him to fuse his nine stars to forge the strongest physique.

It was only today that Xiang Shaoyun realized the true greatness of the individual whom the entire dominion deified. He believed that this supreme Dao Monarch was probably still alive. He had merely left to explore the universe like Venerable Yuan Shi, or perhaps he went searching for the origin of the universe.

Nine births and nine deaths. Nine cycles of reincarnation.

Only someone of great courage and ambition would be able to complete such a process. After Xiang Shaoyun obtained the Dao Monarch's complete inheritance from the stele, strand after strand of pure energy came out of the stele and entered his body.

The strands were a type of energy seed left behind by the Dao Monarch. Back when Xiang Shaoyun had taken first place in the Saintly Forest Ranking, he had obtained some of this energy. But at that time, he had only obtained a small amount of it, small enough that the Saintly Forest Stele remained completely unaffected.

But now was an entirely different case. Xiang Shaoyun was already a One Revolution cultivator. He needed much more energy, and the Dao Monarch's energy seed was finally able to showcase its true worth.

In a dreamlike state, Xiang Shaoyun seemed to hear the Dao Monarch's words...

"If chaos descends upon humanity, bringing humanity to the brink of destruction, the power I leave behind should be able to bring some hope to humanity. Humanity does not lack sages, nor does humanity lack geniuses with both wisdom and courage. The only thing humanity lacks is the ambition to dominate the universe."

An overbearing energy circulated in Xiang Shaoyun's body, instantly pushing him to Two Revolutions. Both his body and soul were undergoing an astonishing transformation. After experiencing tens of millions of years in the dreamland, Xiang Shaoyun's body had aged greatly. But after he entered Two Revolutions, he regained much of his youth, gaining the appearance of someone about 60 years old. When he entered Three Revolutions, he gained the appearance of a middle-aged man. And when he entered Four Revolutions, he turned into an adult in his prime. And at Five Revolutions, he regained his youthful look.

With one dream, he gained four revolutions! Only the Dao Monarch was capable of bestowing upon someone such a terrifying transformation. Of course, if the Saintly Forest Stele had not brought Xiang Shaoyun into the Spacetime Grotto to experience the passage of tens of millions of years, he wouldn't have been able to digest the power bestowed upon him. In that situation, the energy seed would only be wasted.

After reaching Five Revolutions, Xiang Shaoyun's soul had reached Eight Revolutions. One could say that his effective combat strength was near unrivaled now. However, his biggest gain from the grotto was not his new cultivation level. Rather, it was the secrets of revolution he had caught a glimpse of.

Revolution. Time was revolving, life was revolving, everything was revolving in a cycle. A cycle was merely a journey from the beginning to the end and back to the beginning again. It seemed like a simple concept, but a cycle would only complete after numerous obstacles and challenges. For example, humanity had evolved from savages to gods capable of traversing the skies. That was a massive leap, a unique evolution.

To undergo nine revolutions, to overlook all living beings.

Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation might have stopped growing after a point, but his person had evolved to an unprecedented level. He had a feeling he could even swallow the sun and the moon if he wished to.

Five energy coils akin to five rivers of stars ran around his soul and body. They looked like actual dragons, spiraling around him and enveloping him with boundless astral energy, giving him an incredibly overbearing appearance.

He stood up and lightly stroked the Saintly Forest Stele. A burst of power surged out of his body and entered the stele. The figure of the Dao Monarch that had disappeared was replaced by a figure with his appearance.

"I don't know if you're roaming the universe or if you have entered the cycle of reincarnation yet again. But what you accomplished, I will accomplish. What you didn't accomplish, I will accomplish on your behalf!" After his declaration, he put the stele away, moved through the Spacetime River, and returned to the Ziling Sect.

He did not know how much time had passed, but he was comforted when he sensed the increasingly dense incorporeal power around the sect. He then released the people cultivating in his astral cosmos sea.

This batch of people had reaped the greatest harvest among all who had cultivated in his astral cosmos sea. All of them had reached the God Realm, and they had also gained a lot of comprehension. They would definitely grow even stronger before long.

Money and Gui Qi were the two who benefited the most. Both had entered the Nine Revolutions Realm because they had stayed with Xiang Shaoyun for the longest time.

Next were people like Lu Xiaoqing, Gong Qinyin, and Tuoba Wan'er. Lu Xiaoqing had her Pale Lotus Moon physique, so there was no doubting her talent. She had reached ninth-stage God Realm by cultivating in Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea. Gong Qinyin did not have as good of a physique, but she was born with a high affinity with the dao of zithers. She had created her own path, reaching eighth-stage God Realm. Tuoba Wan'er had reached the same cultivation level as Gong Qinyin.

Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun's primal chaos materials had also contributed greatly to their rapid growth. Additionally, the time disparity was also extremely helpful. A day outside was equal to a year in the astral cosmos sea. Fifteen years had passed in the outside world, so they had been cultivating in the astral cosmos sea for many years.

Furthermore, Xiang Shaoyun had also advanced to Five Revolutions, absorbing energy of incredibly high purity in the process. They had all benefited from that. Xiang Shaoyun did not expect them to benefit so much, so he was naturally happy for them.

These people would probably have an extremely hard time entering the Nine Revolutions Realm, but reaching the peak of the God Realm was enough to give them incredible strength. They had gained enough strength to face even the alien invaders.

The entire Ziling Sect was overjoyed to learn that Xiang Shaoyun had left seclusion. However, those celebrating with him were only the sect's higher-ups and seniors. The other members were not qualified to celebrate with him since he was no longer the sect master. All the sect's affairs had been handed over to Tuoba Lingtian and Guo Po.

Xiang Shaoyun also met Wu Xie and Ye Chaomu, and he was informed of the countless enemies the sect was facing. The Guardians Guild had declared that they would capture Xiang Shaoyun and subject him to an interrogation at their main hall to ascertain whether he was colluding with the devils.

The Imperial Nether Clan had announced that Xiang Shaoyun was their nineteenth prince while continuing to use Ming Fu to threaten him into submission. The Celestial Alliance had joined hands with several non-human armies and was preparing to invade the Ziling Sect. At the same time, the alien army was once again advancing toward the dominion.

Numerous conflicts were erupting at the same time.
