905 I Am a Transcendent!

Swoosh.

Perfected Lord Empyrean opened his eyes. Those eyes might be the only highlight of Perfected Lord Empyrean's body. They were very clear, but at the same time, they contained infinite depths, like boundless Chaos, making it impossible to see through them.

"Perfected Lord Lin."

Perfected Lord Empyrean's tone was very calm. There was no surprise, nor was there any other feeling. It was just calm, but Lin Feng did not feel neglected at all.

Back then, the Giant King seemed to be able to see through Lin Feng, but Lin Feng did not feel this way when facing Perfected Lord Empyrean at this moment. Of course, this was not because Perfected Lord Empyrean was inferior to the Giant King. In terms of perceptiveness, a Perfected Lord had cultivated a perfected spirit and could comprehend Chaotic Rules. How could he not see through things as thoroughly as a mere Chaotic spirit beast?

However, Lin Feng did not feel that he was being spied on. This was because Perfected Lord Empyrean had not "spied" on Lin Feng's secrets carefully. It was extremely unwise to "spy" on a Perfected Lord.

"Perfected Lord Empyrean, I took the liberty to disturb you today because I have something to consult you about."

"Perfected Lord Lin, feel free to tell me."

Perfected Lord Empyrean appeared approachable and did not put on any airs at all. Perhaps it was also related to Lin Feng's current status. Lin Feng was now one of the four Perfected Lords of Empyrean City, so Perfected Lord Empyrean naturally had to treat him as an equal.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, but still said bluntly, "Perfected Lord Empyrean, I travel in the Chaos, but in reality, I come from a backward Chaotic continent. In the entire continent, only two Perfected Lords have been born in billions of years. Moreover, the two Perfected Lords have both entered the depths of the Chaos and disappeared without a trace. Thus, I know very little about the realm of Perfected Lords. So, I would like to ask Perfected Lord Empyrean what a perfected spirit is."

Lin Feng had nothing to worry about now. Since he had come to visit Perfected Lord Empyrean, he naturally wanted to gain something. Hence, he did not conceal things anymore.

"What is a perfected spirit?"

Perfected Lord Empyrean also pondered for a moment and frowned slightly, as if he had not expected Lin Feng to ask this question. However, at the thought of Lin Feng's background just now, he nodded in understanding.

"Back then, I was also ignorant, like Perfected Lord Lin. After I became a peak Chaotic lifeform, I spent thousands of years constantly roaming the Hallowed Beast Continent. I narrowly escaped death before finally cultivating a perfected spirit, and establishing the Empyrean City.

"Since Perfected Lord Lin is visiting personally today, I'll naturally tell you everything I know. Moreover, this isn't a secret. With Perfected Lord Lin's strength, as long as you roam the Hallowed Beast Continent for a while longer, you'll naturally know."

Lin Feng said respectfully, "Thank you for your trouble, Perfected Lord!"

Even if he could really find out in the future, this "common knowledge" also required time to be slowly collected. Now that Perfected Lord Empyrean could tell Lin Feng, it was naturally a "favor". Lin Feng would naturally remember it by heart.

"Perfected Lord Lin, have you heard of the saying 'Chaos is eternal, and the perfected spirit is undying'?" Perfected Lord Empyrean asked instead of explaining directly.

"Of course I have. It's rumored that those who cultivate the perfected spirit can rely on a little perfected spirit to reincarnate and keep cultivating, even if their Chaotic body is broken and they die."

Lin Feng had indeed heard of it. In reality, Lin Feng was not the only one. Any ordinary Chaotic Perfected Person would have heard of it.

"That's right, that's right. Chaos is eternal, and the perfected spirit is undying. This is the eternal and indestructible operating rule of the Chaos. The perfected spirit is actually the life imprint of every cultivator. It's not related to any power. The perfected spirit itself has no power at all. It's just a mark. It's just like how every ordinary living being might be born with differences in size or height. Their appearances are also different, or even worlds apart. It's almost impossible to find two identical living beings, just as how it's very difficult to find two identical leaves.

"This is the same for perfected spirits. Every perfected spirit is the unique life imprint of a cultivator, representing traces in the Chaos of cultivators. Ordinary living beings can die, return to the Chaos, and fade in history. However, Perfected Lords are different. Once a Perfected Lord dies, their perfected spirit will be reincarnated so they can cultivate again. Once they cultivate to a certain extent, the perfected spirit will release all their memories. That will be the awakening of the perfected spirit. The perfected spirit will even change the cultivator, turning them into a true Perfected Lord. There's no difference. Even their life imprint will change.

"Actually, all of Chaos does not desire the birth of a perfected spirit. This is because once a perfected spirit is born, it will transcend beyond the Chaotic Rules. Although it is still restrained by the Chaos, most of the Chaotic Rules are useless against perfected spirits. Hence, while there are many Chaotic lifeforms, it is extremely difficult to cultivate a perfected spirit, and there's only a one in a million chance!"

Lin Feng listened carefully to Perfected Lord Empyrean's explanation, not quite understanding.

A perfected spirit was a life imprint. It was the most unique life imprint of a cultivator. Lin Feng could understand it, but he could not sense what a unique life imprint was.

Could memories be the most unique imprint of life?

It still seemed a little different, however.

Lin Feng even thought of a possibility. He was a Transcendent, and had an Origin Universe in his body.

If he could really form a unique life imprint and cultivate a perfected spirit, once his universe was destroyed and he died, and his perfected spirit reincarnated so he could cultivate again, could he still form his internal universe?

Back then, he had formed the universe by chance in the Origin Universe. If his perfected spirit had reincarnated onto the Chaotic continent, how could he form an internal universe?

For a moment, Lin Feng's heart was in turmoil.

Ever since he came to the Chaos, he had been cultivating through trial and error. Metamorphosing into a Chaotic lifeform was still manageable. He eventually acquired a cultivation technique, and even had a chance to cultivate a perfected spirit.

However, he had never found any specific cultivation techniques for his internal universe. He had never even encountered other Transcendents.

Now, Lin Feng's cultivation had also reached a critical point. He did not know what his cultivation of the perfected spirit had to do with his identity as a Transcendent and the internal universe.

If he did not find a way to understand this, it would be very difficult for Lin Feng to completely cultivate a perfected spirit without worries.

Hence, Lin Feng tried to ask, "Perfected Lord, have you ever heard of Transcendents?"

"Huh?"

Perfected Lord Empyrean looked up at Lin Feng in surprise. In the end, he nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of them."

Lin Feng was a little stunned, but then he was overjoyed.

Perfected Lord Empyrean had actually heard of Transcendents. After roaming the Chaos for so long, this was the first time Lin Feng had encountered someone who knew about Transcendents.

"Please elaborate!" Lin Feng said solemnly.

Perfected Lord Empyrean also nodded and said, "Transcendents are very rare and miraculous entities among cultivators. They are all living beings born in the Origin Universe, but they have to experience layers of hardships and break through the Origin Universe to transcend! Once such Transcendents successfully transcend and metamorphose into Chaotic lifeforms, their status will be unimaginable. Moreover, it will be easier for them to cultivate perfected spirits than other Chaotic lifeforms.

"The reason is very simple. The moment they transcended, they had actually already formed their own unique life imprint. They can imagine the Origin Universe as a miniature Chaos. Isn't a perfected spirit beyond Chaotic Rules and unrestrained by Chaos? Hence, Transcendents are basically guaranteed to succeed. As long as they do not die accidentally, they can cultivate a perfected spirit. Moreover, after becoming a Perfected Lord, they can quickly conform to Chaotic Rules and comprehend them, thereby becoming the peak Perfected Lords of the Chaos.

"There's even a rumor regarding the seven lords of the holy cities in the Chaos, the undying and indestructible Seven Hallowed Venerables. It's rumored that five of these seven Hallowed Venerables are all Transcendents!"

Boom.

Even with Lin Feng's will, his mind exploded like a bolt of lightning at this moment. His mind instantly went blank.

Transcendents. Five of the seven Hallowed Venerables were actually Transcendents. Anyone knew what this meant.

Moreover, Transcendents were almost certain to be able to cultivate perfected spirits. In fact, after becoming a Perfected Lord, they could even become the peak Perfected Lords. This was enough to show the advantage of Transcendents.

Perfected Lord Empyrean's eyes narrowed slightly. His deep gaze seemed capable of piercing through everything. With a half-smile, he said meaningfully, "Actually, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Perfected Lord Lin is a Transcendent."

Perfected Lord Empyrean's gaze saw through everything. Looking at Lin Feng's current state, Perfected Lord Empyrean probably had some vague guesses as well.

Lin Feng came back to his senses and his expression grew serious. However, he did not conceal it anymore, and said calmly, "That's right, I am a Transcendent!"
