Chapter 548: The Great Catastrophe_2
He faintly felt that the great opportunity mentioned by the Langya Saint Lord might very well be related to this matter, otherwise, why would the Langya Saint Lord bother discussing these issues with them for no reason?
"Langya Saint Lord!"
"Langya Saint Lord!"
The other Saint Lords also looked towards the Langya Saint Lord, voicing their excitement.
"You have guessed correctly. I indeed intend to break through the thirty-fourth layer of the universe, and now I wish to share this opportunity with you. What do you say?" the Langya Saint Lord said indifferently.
"Is this true?"
"Is it really so?"
"Langya Saint Lord, just give us your orders, and we shall follow without hesitation, even to our deaths!"
Brightness burst forth from the eyes of the Saint Lords as they spoke passionately.
The reaction of these Saint Lords took the Langya Saint Lord by surprise; he had prepared some words to persuade them, but before he could say much, the Saint Lords had already expressed their willingness to obey.
However, he quickly came to terms with their response.
The chance he had described was indeed colossal. Not to mention that he had been calculating this matter for years, based on what Lord Er Lee had said, in the outside world, many top-level Saint Kings longed for it, let alone the ordinary Saint Lords.
"Very well, we must not delay this matter too long. True Martial Saint Lord is about to leave this universe, and before he departs, it's very likely that he will help Lin Yun enhance his strength.
Once Lin Yun increases his power, he might attempt to break through the thirty-fourth layer, and when the energies of heaven and earth descend for him, we will no longer have this opportunity," the Langya Saint Lord nodded and explained.
Breaking through the thirty-six layers of the universe grows increasingly difficult with each layer—while these Saints together might have a chance at breaking the thirty-fourth layer, he had no confidence in breaking the thirty-fifth.
If Lin Yun were to break the thirty-fourth layer, he might no longer have the chance to gain the energy bestowed by breaking into a new Layered Heaven.
Perhaps, he could wait it out, wait for more and mightier powerful beings to emerge in this universe to possibly break the thirty-fifth layer with them, and his gains would be even greater.
But time was not on his side.
He knew all too well the difficulty a Saint Lord would face in making a breakthrough without external forces in this universe's environment—it could take tens of thousands, even hundreds of millions of years, or even longer, to amass that many strong beings.
Keep in mind, the cosmic rules of this universe cannot endure a being of the Saint Lord Realm lingering too long; the stronger the force, the shorter the allowed stay.
To have more and mightier Saint Lords present, who knows to what extent the alignment of time, location, and harmony among people would need to be.
Even with the formation set up by Lord Er Lee in the Immortal Origin Holy Land that could allow him to remain in this universe for a very long time, he doubted he could wait that long.
Moreover, when Lord Er Lee departed from this universe, he left them with a mission. Lord Er Lee's friend's reincarnation is likely to awaken past life memories during this period.
Would Lord Er Lee's friend be an average person?
Just look at the Heavenly Principle Tower; it is a magical artifact from his friend's past life. Seeing how powerful the Tower is indicates that Lord Er Lee's friend was no ordinary being in his past life.
Once the past life memories awaken, another peerless individual will certainly emerge.
Originally, he had thought that if Lord Er Lee's friend were to awaken his memories soon, he would surely grow to an exceptionally powerful state in no time, and then the thirty-fourth layer would inevitably be shattered by him.
Furthermore, even the thirty-fifth layer would likely be broken by him.
Whether it's just the thirty-fourth layer or both the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth layers together that are shattered, he would then lose any chance of receiving the energy from breaking into new Layered Heaven.
Therefore, he had been planning to break through the thirty-fourth layer before the reincarnation of Lord Er Lee's friend could awaken his memories.
However, at this juncture, an unexpected factor arose in the form of Lin Yun.
Given Lin Yun's talents, he was bound to shatter the thirty-fourth layer, and the time required would not be long—he had to act swiftly.
"True Martial Saint Lord is leaving this universe?"
Hearing the words of the Langya Saint Lord, the group of Saint Lords were shocked again, exclaiming in disbelief.
After learning of the True Martial Saint Lord's strength, he had become a heavy mountain in their hearts, and his every move drew their attention.
"Thousands of years ago, Lord Er Lee and the other Saints of the Immortal Origin Holy Land left this universe, and now thousands of years later, is the True Martial Saint Lord also about to depart? Could it be that Lin Yun's potential to become the Lord of Immortal Origin is due to this reason?
Or is it because Lin Yun has become the Lord of Immortal Origin that the True Martial Saint Lord is departing from this universe? It seems incorrect as well, for the True Martial Saint Lord to help Lin Yun enhance his power before leaving?"
One of the Saint Lords murmured with a shifting expression.
Just now, they had speculated that the True Martial Saint Lord and the Langya Saint Lord weren't aligned with Lin Yun; now, it appeared the matter wasn't so straightforward.
"Lin Yun's ascension to Master of the Immortal Origin Holy Land was designated by the True Martial Saint Lord. Otherwise, what makes you think Lin Yun has what it takes to become the Master?" the Langya Saint Lord glanced at the Saint Lords and spoke coolly.
With the True Martial Saint Lord leaving this universe, he wasn't afraid to unveil the conflict between him and True Martial to these Saint Lords. With Lin Yun as their mortal enemy, once Lin Yun's strength increased, these Saint Lords would suffer misfortune.
This alone ensured he had nothing to fear about these Saint Lords not cooperating with him, nor was he afraid they would relay their conversation to the True Martial Saint Lord.
