Chapter 598: The Essence of Spirit Energy

Honored Position is the realm of cultivation authority.

Royal Path cultivators are in the third realm, while Holy Path cultivators are in the first realm. All need to obtain the essence of authority to begin their cultivation.

Authority is the power of the world; in the multiverse, it is referred to as "God." Although it is not a "World God" that creates a world of its own, it can still be considered a top deity in mythology.

Mortals require many conditions to open such levels of authority, making it nearly impossible to establish the essence of authority in the first realm.

Currently, Holy Path practitioners can only cultivate using the authority essence left behind by predecessors. The threshold is exceedingly high, nearly insurmountable, effectively blocking the path across the three heavens.

Yun Ye first cultivated the Royal Path for three heavens, then switched to the Holy Path for another three. In truth, it makes no difference whether he knew the Holy Path cultivation methods ahead of time.

At the law realms stage, he had no means to obtain the essence of authority, so he could not cultivate the Holy Path normally. Ultimately, he had to switch from the Royal Path to the Holy Path.

"The Master of Heaven’s Cavern opens Heaven and Earth, equivalent to being born with control over the rules. There’s no need for cultivation authority anymore. Even at Honored Position, he merely enhances the size of the cave heaven. As the size increases, his mastery over various authorities will naturally soar."

Yun Ye extended his hand, and the Ten Heavenly Arts continuously unfolded, showing various authorities.

Judging by the standards of Honored Position, as soon as he stepped into this realm, he would be considered a quasi-Monarch, especially since he had already opened a cave heaven that surpasses the Fourth Heaven.

Gaining authority, utilizing authority, developing authority, mastering authority, and establishing the Fourth Heaven.

Theoretical establishment of the Fourth Heaven represents the full completion stage of Honored Position. A step further means only becoming a Monarch, hence called quasi-Monarch.

Yun Ye’s advanced cave heaven means he has skipped all the realms and reached the pinnacle directly.

Yet, he still has room for improvement in scale and power, which is why he spent a thousand years consuming the secret realm, merging with the authority of various major powers’ Honored Positions.

In that thousand years, Yun Ye has grown continuously, already becoming invincible across the world. Even without breaking through the Royal Path, he can claim this title.

Unless the God Destruction Clan revives, no Monarch can stand against him, finding even one strike difficult to endure; the levels are distinctly different.

He is comparable to the God Destruction Clan, existing among Emperor and Divine Emperor level figures.

Or rather, he is the monarch among monarchs!

Since the time of opening Heaven and Earth in the Mystic Realm, only Yun Ye remains after the God Destruction Clan, and considering this is the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, which incorporates the Red Heaven True Immortal Law, he has subtly exceeded the Emperor level!

If one were to mention a drawback, there is only one: the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven consumes resources far more than the Five Elements Cave Heaven and Four Elements Cave Heaven.

If Yun Ye were to become a Monarch, the spirit veins of the entire Red Heaven realm would likely dry up, which is why Tomorrow Nation must focus entirely on research of precious medicines technology to improve the efficiency of converting spiritual herbs into spirit energy as much as possible.

Fortunately, the Red Heaven realm has effectively unified; even without the presence of a Monarch, such a peaceful environment can foster an explosive surge in technology.

The mysteries of precious medicines, spirit veins, and even spirit energy are gradually being unveiled…

This kind of research has already been repeated many times in the past, but it was cut off from the inheritance due to world destruction, preventing further development.

The Nine Master medicines appearing in the Rain World Secret Realm symbolize the pinnacle achievement of the Emperor era, but these are merely at the precious medicine level, far from tolerating advanced methods. This has caused the average strength of the Emperor era to remain low, only slightly stronger than today.

Integrating precious medicines can greatly enhance a cultivator’s physical body, allowing them to generate high-intensity energy, making it a crucial step in the cultivation system.

Without more powerful medicines technology, it is impossible to produce cultivators who master stronger methods.

The Yin-Yang Cave Heaven has never been fully formed precisely because the human body cannot endure too much power.

Yin represents spirit, while Yang represents the physical body; the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven signifies opening a cave heaven within the body.

The Power of Opening Heaven and Earth is one of the highest forces, the supreme law of the Red Heaven realm—there is none other. Without a divine body that defies heaven, how can one endure it?

This truly is the literal embodiment of a divine body that defies heaven, as the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth is essentially "the essence of heaven itself."

To defy heaven, even the five-element body does not suffice; it is likely to approach being a True Immortal.

"Spirit energy is the omnipotent force, the foundation of the Red Heaven realm, a vast accumulation of material capable of forming the entire universe and giving rise to high-level energy."

"Opening Heaven and Earth generates worlds, producing endless matter and forming time and space. Generally, cosmic matter gathers and collapses, but in the Red Heaven realm, spirit energy can emerge, and its direct source is the world’s possession of the laws of Opening Heaven and Earth."

"Chaos has never departed from the Red Heaven realm; hence, spirit energy was born, and the laws of Opening Heaven and Earth were established, making it a unique point in the multiverse."

Do all worlds possess the ability to draw energy from the void?

Yun Ye once thought so.

But in reality, it is not.

Once the cosmos opens Heaven and Earth, the total amount of matter and energy becomes fixed and will not increase, forming a cycle destined for annihilation.

The reason the Red Heaven realm can become a unique point, becoming the center of the multiverse and allowing mortals to become True Immortals, is precisely because it reverses this principle.

The power of Opening Heaven and Earth has never disappeared from the Red Heaven realm. It can continuously draw energy from the void, allowing the strength of the multiverse to converge on itself. After reaching its peak, the Red Heaven realm transforms into a unique point, giving rise to True Immortals.

Each True Immortal weakens the authority of the World Gods across the multiverse, creating a highly unusual and unreasonable situation.

Similarly, they are the protectors of the Red Heaven realm, preventing all entities from coveting it.

However, the birth of True Immortals is not entirely a good thing; at least for humanity, matters spiral toward an abyss.

For the multiverse, True Immortals introduce the greatest uncertainty. The World Gods, who could not originally devour each other, gain an opportunity for devouring evolution. The more True Immortals there are, the stronger the World Gods’ desire for the Red Heaven realm becomes, instinctively seeking to draw closer.

Ultimately, they will converge, tearing apart the True Immortals and the Red Heaven realm, obtaining the sublime spirit flesh that they have only felt at the moment of Opening Heaven and Earth.

Spirit energy is, in essence, the possibility that descends from the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth, explaining all in the world.

Whether it is spirit veins or spiritual herbs, the secret to producing spirit energy is the greatest mystery of the Red Heaven realm. The Law of the Cave Heaven is the method birthed from the mastery of this research, a path that leads directly to the ultimate truth!

Tomorrow Nation’s initial focus on spiritual herbs and spirit veins is certainly the right path. However, Tomorrow Nation currently lacks the assistance of Tomorrow, and their research capabilities have significantly declined. It took them a thousand years of accumulated echoes to reach the domain level, surpassing the Tomorrow Nation of the first generation.

Next comes an even faster development of technology.

The Law of the Cave Heaven took several True Immortal eras to establish and is extremely challenging to research. Yet, countless people in Tomorrow Nation strive for it with the assistance of the Dao Artifact rules, planning to complete this great achievement at a speed far surpassing their predecessors.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have flown by.

The calm of two to three thousand years has made the order of the Red Heaven realm ever more stable.

Scenes of peace and prosperity spread across the entire Red Heaven realm, with everyone revering the God Master as a deity, erecting countless altars, and worshiping day and night.

Tomorrow Nation has finally made a breakthrough, having developed the most perfect foundational spiritual herbs.
