Chapter 461. True Rise, Fleeing to the Border of the Universe?
Be it Zhu Qingyu or the others beside her, they all sensed the marvel of that power.
With this power, they could advance further and reach higher realms. For a moment, everyone present was extremely astonished and was filled with disbelief.
After all, this was too miraculous. A person's bloodline and even their talent were generally predestined and never changed throughout one's lifetime.
Yet now, they could clearly sense these changes within themselves. How could they not be shocked?
After a brief daze, joy stirred in their hearts.
This was especially true for Zhu Qingyu. She had originally felt that her potential would at most allow her to reach the Great Sage Realm. As for the higher Immortal realms, that would only be possible if she encountered a heaven-defying fortune.
But things were different now. Perhaps the Undying Immortal Realm was the floor of her evolution.
Finally, she could chase after his footsteps again.
This was the only thought in her heart.
"Although this power can allow you to reach higher realms and attain greater achievements in the future, remember this. What you can rely on most is still your own strength."
Lu Yuan continued in a solemn tone, "When the Celestial Court truly develops in the future and stands on the same level as the various forces of the Outer Cosmos Starfields, many decisions lie in a single thought, and every action you decide to take is built upon your own strength.
"So no matter what, do not forget to cultivate and evolve seriously. This is only the beginning."
Lu Yuan held great expectations for these people, which was why he gave them this instruction. He also fully believed they would take his words to heart.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Zhu Qingyu and the others immediately nodded slightly and answered affirmatively in unison.
Lu Yuan said nothing more and let everyone leave.
He knew that they needed to adapt to the Providence now, and everything that needed to be said had already been said.
In the days that followed, Lu Yuan spent most of his time cultivating, because he still needed to continue adapting to the power of the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token.
He felt that this was not the full extent of the token's ability.
However, in the end, he discovered that just as he had expected, five token pieces were insufficient. Even if collectively, they contained relatively powerful strength, he could only utilize a portion of it as of now.
As such, Lu Yuan spent his time adapting to that amount of Providence available to him. As for other matters, he temporarily paid them no mind.
Meanwhile, he also heard about the Eternals and the Ji Clan. He learned that these two great forces had already pulled back their forces.
Though, he was not concerned the slightest because of one simple reason.
As long as neither of them actively provoke him, he would not seek them out. He could not care less if they had other hidden agendas.
After all, he could only control his own actions and not the actions of others.
But of course, if those two forces wanted to make a comeback, Lu Yuan would definitely accompany them.
As such, temporary peace found its place in the Milky Way Starfield again.
The other Outer Cosmos beings had basically fully recognized the strength of the Celestial Court. Those slightly weaker, like the Celestials for example, no longer dared provoke it. If they appeared and encountered people of the Celestial Court, they would immediately take a detour.
They had no other choice.
The other Starfield lifeforms had basically completely acknowledged the Celestial Court.
Those with slightly weaker strength no longer dared provoke it. Existences such as the Celestial Race basically stopped appearing. If they encountered people of the Celestial Court, they chose to take a detour.
There was nothing they could do. They had now been forced into the defensive.
Even the ordinary folk of Earth could sense the change in circumstances because the Outer Cosmos beings no longer dared approach the five supercities.
Moreover, even if they were to cross paths, the Outer Cosmos beings were polite and displayed no signs of overstepping.
Judging from these behaviors, it was clear as day that the Celestial Court had really become powerful.
Elder Ji and Elder Yun, in particular, felt this most deeply. Even since the Awakening first started and their panic then up till their current ease at the world's transformation, it had been a great deal of a roller coaster ride.
They also felt glad that someone like Lu Yuan had appeared. Otherwise, the circumstances now would have been significantly different.
Even the two of them could not predict how the situation would have turned out.
Just like that, several more months passed.
Many beast kings entered the Great Sage Realm, and their strength had progressed greatly compared to before.
Of course, the ones who attained the most progression were still Zhu Qingyu and the others.
After that day where their names were inscribed, they had been improving every day, their strength continuously accumulating with time.
The Providence being channeled into them was too powerful.
More members of the Jiang Clan descended as well. As allies, both sides combined basically feared no Outer Cosmos races anymore, even if their opponent was one of the top ten starfields.
Everything seemed to be developing in the right direction.
Until one day, Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Huanyun came to Lu Yuan's small courtyard.
"There is still no news from the two great forces," Jiang Ningxian began in a solemn tone. "But I heard from my father that the Starfield Lords of the Ji Clan and the Eternals seem to have fled to the border of the universe long ago. We have no idea why they went there."
Her father was naturally the Starfield Lord of the Desolate Flame Starfield and the patriarch of the Jiang Clan. He was one of the unquestioned top experts in the entire universe, and he seemed to find the actions of those two Starfield Lords very strange.
"They have even disregarded the Great Age's Providence, which we find it hard to understand. That should not be the case," Jiang Huanyun added.
As an older-generation expert, he fully understood what the Great Age's Providence represented.
Even if it could not allow Starfield Lords to grow stronger, at the very least, it could give their descendants tremendous benefits.
This meant that after obtaining the Great Age's Providence, they could prolong the glory of their clan.
"Is that so?" Lu Yuan also found it strange.
He had originally thought that these two forces were very likely plotting something, which was why they had not acted all this time. Now, it seemed that was not the case.
Jiang Huanyun nodded. "That's right. We originally wanted to collect information, but we couldn't get anything of value from the Celestials or other sources."
The Celestials were subordinate to the Ji Clan. Normally, if something happened, they would at least have a little information.
But they were also kept in the dark now, which was hard to understand.
The Eternals were the same.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan sank deeper into thought. Originally, this matter could be said to have nothing to do with him.
But for some reason, an ominous feeling rose in his heart. It was as though he was about to encounter some kind of crisis.
"So the strongest experts of these two forces have both gone to the border of the universe. What is at the border of the universe?" Lu Yuan asked, rather puzzled.
He also lamented that he knew too little, so he immediately asked about it.
"This... I am not sure. There are basically no living beings there, and there are all kinds of chaotic currents." Jiang Huanyun shook his head, indicating that he was not very clear on this either.
"Anyone below the Immortal Realm who goes there will encounter great danger. Even those who have reached the Immortal Realm must be careful."
After all, very few people went there. If they had any idea, they would be able to guess what those two experts had gone to do.
Lu Yuan sank into thought again and soon enough, an idea suddenly surfaced in his mind.
