Chapter 1418, The Three Realm

Each illusory figure stood silently within the nothingness behind him.

 

They were the very medium through which Yu Zi Yu remained connected to his three bodies.

 

If he so desired, Yu Zi Yu could even draw upon these three phantoms to extract the power of his other three Avatars, continually strengthening himself and using that strength to challenge even higher realms.

 

And at that point, he would enter the second realm of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, The Union of the Three Bodies.

 

The Union of the Three Bodies Realm, as the name implied, was the convergence of every body’s power into a single form. This was not a mere enhancement or overlay, but the true unification of the cultivation of all three bodies into one.

 

According to Yu Zi Yu’s own estimation, if he truly reached the second realm, the Union of the Three Bodies, then even with his current three forms alone, his main body’s cultivation would be pushed to an utterly terrifying level.

 

And at that time…

 

Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help feeling anticipation rising within him.

 

As for now, he had only just mastered One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones and had stepped into the first realm, the Severance of the Three Bodies.

 

One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones was divided into three realms, the Severance of the Three Bodies, the Union of the Three Bodies, and the almost mythical third realm, the Realm of Divine Trinity.

 

If one truly cultivated this supreme art to the legendary Realm of Divine Trinity, it would be considered fully perfected. At that point, one could steal causality, seize destiny, and truly accomplish what ordinary beings never could.

 

But even now, the Severance of Three Bodies Realm was anything but simple.

 

Not only did it allow him to transform one into three, with each standing as an independent existence, it also pushed his cultivation speed to a truly frightening degree.

 

Just like now…

 

*Hoooo…* As he took a deep breath, terrifying currents of Spacetime Energy surged toward him.

 

A spacetime storm, dozens of times more violent than before, completely engulfed Yu Zi Yu’s figure.

 

At the same time, he could feel the Spiritual Energy within his body climbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

 

“This cultivation speed… is really astonishing.” Sighing in marvel, Yu Zi Yu finally grasped just how terrifying this Grand Divine Ability truly was.

 

It provided nearly a tenfold to several dozenfold increase in cultivation speed.

 

And what did that mean? Cultivation that once required hundreds or even thousands of years could now be completed in mere decades.

 

And when applied to the Realm of Hegemony, the effect was even more outrageous.

 

Generally, Hegemons would need to enter seclusion for thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of years for cultivation.

 

Yu Zi Yu, however, would only need a few hundred years.

 

And what made it even more frightening was that Yu Zi Yu’s Innate Talent was already extraordinary.

 

Without One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, he might have needed only a few thousand years.

 

There was no need to spell out how beneficial it would be for Yu Zi Yu.

 

Realizing all this, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes lit up with a dazzling gleam. “Just in terms of cultivation alone, it’s already terrifying… and that’s not even considering the boost to combat power…”

 

With a soft chuckle, Yu Zi Yu turned and looked toward the phantoms behind him.

 

At that moment, as if sensing his gaze…

 

*Roooooar… Roooooar…*

 

Soft Dragon roars echoed as the azure and violet humanoid phantoms each transformed into a half-meter-long Dragon-shaped phantom, and flew toward Yu Zi Yu’s arms.

 

Like living totems, they flowed along his limbs and carved themselves onto his True Body.

 

On the other side, the silver-haired humanoid phantom condensed into a diamond-shaped crystal before transforming into a streak of silver light that shot straight toward Yu Zi Yu’s brow.

 

They were the Imprints of the Three Bodies, engraved directly on his True Body.

 

Whether used to empower the body or to cultivate, they were extraordinarily effective.

 

Of course, this was only what Yu Zi Yu had perceived so far. A Grand Divine Ability was far too profound. Even Yu Zi Yu could not comprehend all of its mysteries at a single glance. To have already grasped these two aspects was, in itself, no small feat.

 

And for Yu Zi Yu, that was already enough.

 

As for now…

 

Lifting his gaze slightly, Yu Zi Yu realized that he was on the verge of breaking through Heaven’s Door.

 

“So… I’m about to break through Heaven’s Door at last…”

 

A faint smile played upon Yu Zi Yu lips, but he suppressed the urge to advance.

 

In order to cultivate One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, he had already remained in seclusion for far too long. If he stayed hidden any longer, it would surely cause unnecessary concern.

 

With that thought, Yu Zi Yu stepped forward, walking out of the spacetime dimension.

 

*Boooooom…* As he took a step, time and space distorted around him, and the next moment, his figure appeared within the palace on Planet Celestus.

 

“Master… you’re back!”

 

“Master…!”

 

…

 

Cries rang out one after another as Ling Er and Golden Ant, who sensed his return immediately, cried in excitement.

 

“What’s wrong? Why are you all so worked up…?”

 

“Master, you say you’re going into seclusion and then you vanish for decades. Of course we’d be excited!” Ling Er replied, pouting slightly.

 

“…”

 

A brief silence followed as Yu Zi Yu froze.

 

[Decades? Is this a joke!?]

 

With that thought, Yu Zi Yu quickly performed a calculation with his fingers.

 

Only then did realization dawn, he had been in seclusion for nearly 24 years.

 

Of course, that was time measured according to the universe’s time.

 

Inside the spacetime dimension he had created, he had spent several centuries.

 

After all, even though he had not set the time acceleration very high, the flow of time inside it was still at least 10-20 times faster.

 

“So I really did fall into a temporal turbulence and lost track of time…” Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but sigh in helplessness.

 

This was the biggest problem of cultivating time.

 

When one frequently relied on time acceleration for seclusion or other purposes, it was all too easy to fall into temporal turbulence.

 

As for how terrifying it was to fall into temporal turbulence!? One could say that it wasn’t that terrifying, but one could also say it was extremely terrifying.

 

Because while one became lost themselves, thousands of years might have already passed in the universe.

 

And under such circumstances, who knew how many prodigies or powerhouses might emerge?

 

And that wasn’t even the most critical issue.

 

The most important thing was that it would affect Yu Zi Yu’s control over the universe.

 

Right now, the universe had only just begun to fall into his grasp, but if he lost focus and allowed thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to pass, what would Yu Zi Yu even be able to do then?

 

Forget scheming against the Myriad Races, by the time he returns, Hegemons might be popping up one after another.

 

So in the end, temporal turbulence was extremely dangerous for Yu Zi Yu.

 

“I can’t rely on time acceleration too often. It’s far too risky.”

 

With that thought, Yu Zi Yu began to ask Ling Er about recent developments.

 

Ling Er, ever sharp, seemed to have prepared for this long ago.

 

She produced scroll after scroll.

 

“Master… over these past two decades, every major and minor event in the universe has been recorded here…”

 

Then, as if remembering something, she added, “Oh, right! Master, during these two decades, the Myriad Races have been waiting for you to emerge from seclusion…”
