Chapter 601: Holy Path to Monarch, the Warm Flame

The Primitive Spiritual Herb quickly covered the Red Heaven realm, leading to an unprecedented explosive increase in spirit energy.

This number exceeded tenfold; to be precise, it was an exponential surge.

The maturity of the Primitive Spiritual Herb raised the spirit energy density, and the increased spirit energy density further accelerated the herb’s growth. The mature spiritual herbs then enhanced the spirit energy density…

This infinite positive cycle allowed the Primitive Spiritual Herb to spread rapidly across the Red Heaven realm. The number of cultivators began to explode, and within a mere hundred years, all of humanity entered the age of cultivation. When cultivators perished, they released high-purity spirit energy, further enhancing the environment of the Red Heaven realm.

In the past, the Red Heaven realm had always functioned in this cycle.

Spirit veins produced spirit energy, Spiritual Herbs absorbed spirit energy to grow and generate spirit energy, cultivators absorbed spirit energy and consumed Spiritual Herbs to cultivate, and death returned energy to the world, allowing spirit veins to grow, produce more spirit energy, and accelerate the growth of Spiritual Herbs…

As long as there were grand epochs, this cycle would persist indefinitely.

Although many details weren’t elaborated on, this was the general idea.

After a sufficient length of time accumulating in this cycle, super spirit veins would emerge across various regions, even forming dragon veins that spanned entire continents.

A single Spirit Stone from a dragon vein could provide enough for the highest ranked cultivators.

At this level, the Master of Heaven’s Cavern could be born in large numbers, creating numerous Secret Realms left across the land, returning benefits to the world.

The returns from the cave were immense, directly increasing the land mass of the continent, multiplying positions in the cosmos, and strengthening the essence of the Red Heaven realm.

This enhancement not only made cultivation easier but also had the added benefit of increasing the effectiveness of the Dao Artifact.

The Red Heaven made its first wish, experiencing a massive echo accumulated from generations of the human race, resulting in the most powerful effect ever. However, during this period, the Dao Artifact was merely at the level of power, not yet reaching the absolute rules. She chose to strengthen the rules of the Dao Artifact, using the wish to enhance the potency of the wish, thus touching upon the realm of absolute rules.

From that point on, the Heavenly Crown Artifact of the Red Heaven era possessed the power of absolute rules.

But nothing occurred in an instant; the Heavenly Crown Artifact of the Red Heaven era was not omnipotent, and the wishes it could fulfill had a limited range.

Within this range, becoming a True Immortal was the most suitable wish, granting an immortal, invincible True Immortal body with just one wish.

Not only could it protect the human race and expand their living area, accelerating the accumulation of echoes, but it also allowed her to have a celestial body that could make multiple wishes without being overwhelmed by the weight of the world.

As the Dao Artifact made more wishes, the entangled rules grew larger, and the range of what could be achieved continuously expanded.

Becoming a True Immortal consumed the least echoes as a method of use. By using the Dao Artifact for ascension, one not only gained an immortal, invincible True Immortal body but also birthed Immortal Techniques, or the power of a True Immortal.

In the later ages, the effectiveness of Dao Artifacts grew stronger, and the reach of True Immortal power expanded, including the strength of the Dao Classics.

The ability to modify rules followed suit.

If in the past the Dao Artifact could only radiate within the Red Heaven realm, now its interference range has long surpassed this, moving toward the Multiverse.

Countless worlds would change as a result, entangling with enormous causes and effects.

Now, as Yun Ye planned to modify the rules, he needed to fully utilize this point.

…

Time passed gradually.

Several thousand years went by, and Yun Ye reached eight thousand years of age, enhancing his power further, and he was finally about to break into the Royal Path realm.

Over several thousand years, Tomorrow Nation completely dominated the Eleven Continents, merging into the New Heaven Dynasty.

During this era, countless prodigies emerged, and talented individuals flourished.

The extremely excellent spirit energy environment birthed countless talents, among which there were even prodigies born with the embryonic form of the Sacred Body of the Heavenly Stem, deemed sacred from birth with the potential to open the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven. Yun Ye immediately accepted him as a disciple, naming him Shi Kong, and taught him the Infinite Circle Complete Law.

At Yun Ye’s level, no technique could be considered significant; it ultimately depended on the user and the resources they had.

Even if the Infinite Circle Complete Law were made public, only a scarce few could cultivate it. Those who attempted to practice would either compete for resources creating great chaos or suffer from a lack of resources and make no progress.

This was not something that could be inherited, nor could it exist in the same era.

After teaching Shi Kong for a hundred years, Yun Ye sealed him, choosing to unseal him in the future.

This was a necessary measure; no one could rival him anymore, and if Shi Kong remained in this era, he would forever be in Yun Ye’s shadow.

Besides Shi Kong, there were also quite a few cultivators inheriting powerful bloodlines, capable of validating and studying the newly created cultivation methods.

This was clearly the reverse.

The Red Heaven realm created things as needed, improving through generations.

But in the New Heaven Dynasty, cultivation techniques were already perfected even before anyone began to practice them, waiting for the right individuals to come and learn.

This was the reason for the rapid research and overwhelming results; regardless of their usefulness, researchers would delve into studies to enrich the dynasty’s foundation.

However, even with many physiques emerging, they remained few compared to the entirety of the Red Heaven realm. Only a tiny number could cultivate Spiritual Laws of triple fusion and above.

For a child without the corresponding bloodline to practice triple fusion Spiritual Laws or higher-level laws was akin to murder; hardly any child could accomplish this. Talent had to reach its peak to possibly master fourth-tier spirit energy at a young age and cultivate these advanced techniques.

As of now, no cultivator had successfully opened a cave heaven and become a Master of Heaven’s Cavern.

Even at the level of Honored Beings, the situation was the same.

The Red Heaven realm had lost the Cave Techniques.

Without the Cave Techniques, it was impossible to create worlds that could siphon void energy; sustaining a cave with a cultivator’s own power was far too costly.

Some Honored Beings could indeed do this, but the space they opened could only be used for storage or as an attack technique.

Yun Ye did not interfere with this.

He traveled through various eras, and while the Cave Techniques were already clear to him, creating the Cave Techniques was inherently one of the conditions for using them.

If the technology couldn’t be gradually developed and various physiques suitable for the Cave Techniques cultivated, knowing the Cave Techniques would be of no use.

The current era’s Honored Beings could not bridge this gap through personal capability; the difficulty far surpassed Yun Ye’s original estimates.

Yun Ye could only reveal some preliminary techniques to accelerate the evolution process and then patiently await the seeds to sprout.

…

Divine Master of the Heavenly Stem, ten thousand years old.

The melodious chime reverberated throughout the Red Heaven realm, cleansing souls. For thirty consecutive days, heaven and earth celebrated as the Divine Master of the Heavenly Stem ascended to the Great Dao and became a Monarch!

A multitude of phenomena surged through the Red Heaven, the Royal Path’s sacred song resonated throughout the world, marking the birth of a Monarch unprecedented and unparalleled.

“Purple energy comes from the East, crossing the skies!”

“Golden lotuses erupt from the earth, Celestial Maidens scatter flowers!”

“Red Heaven manifests, auspicious clouds transform into phoenixes!”

“Moreover, there are three celestial lightning strikes with a total of thirty thousand, each transforming into a super spirit vein!”

So many phenomena emerged, impossible to recount one by one.

These thirty days shattered all mortal cultivators’ perceptions, perhaps every Monarch experiences this, but modern cultivators witnessed such scenes for the first time, feeling immensely shocked, as the Monarch represented supreme power.

“Monarch…”

“No, it is a Sage.”

Boom!

The three heavens reversed; the power that should have surged into the outer universe abruptly turned and broke into the Red Heaven, piercing the dimensional barriers into reality.

Red Heaven truly manifested, but only as a backdrop, while a brand new Sacred Path appeared on the horizon.

Its colors were brilliant and warm, a flame of fire.

On the Border Continent, the origin of Tomorrow Nation, an elderly man with white hair slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the sky in a daze as countless memories flew by. He murmured:

“It is still just as warm as before…”

“Wuyāng.”
