Chapter 911: Ripples
The Supreme Council.
As one of the Supremes, Primordial stood at the very peak of the universe. Throughout the boundless cosmos, there was nothing beyond his grasp, nothing he could not accomplish. He was like the absolute ruler of a world, its every law and rule could be shaped entirely to his will.
With such status and power, in theory, there should have been nothing left in this universe that could unsettle him. Yet after ending his communication with Li Pin, he sat in silence for a long time.
After a while, he took out an old manual. It was the earliest version of the Phantom Space Technique.
Li Pin had never kept his cultivation method a secret. Back when he killed Divine Emperor Yuan Jie, Divine Martial Emperor and the others had inquired about the Phantom Space Technique, so he had written it out for them.
However, that version was crude. While it mentioned the concept of the Liberation Realm, it was purely theoretical, with no real examples to back it up.
All the Supremes knew of this supposed realm, but none of them truly understood what it looked like in practice.
Even they believed it was just a concept and nothing more than a theoretical possibility. Just like how many Supremes believed there had to be a realm beyond their own, Li Pin's so-called "Liberation" realm was a concept derived from that very notion.
Back then, the Supreme Council had placed high hopes on the Phantom Space Technique, believing it might yield valuable insights, or even point toward a new direction. However, because they thought it was merely conceptual, they still had not rushed to descend upon the Astral World to speak with Li Pin in person.
"He... has really set foot on the path of Liberation?" Primordial murmured.
That path... it's real? Is it truly viable?
"How is that possible?" Primordial whispered to himself. "Li Pin... has barely been cultivating for three hundred years. How could he have done what countless Supremes, Highlords, and Transcendents have failed to do and truly carve out a path beyond the Supreme Realm?"
