However, someone started paying attention to another matter.
"Nowadays, Mingjian is not even a hundred years old. How old was he when he was invincible on the battlefield of low-level immortals and witches a few decades ago?"
"It's terrifying."
Many people tried to find out detailed information about Mingjian, but unfortunately, apart from knowing that "Mingjian is from the lineage of the Northern Silent Immortal Lord," nothing else could be found, making it appear extremely mysterious.
... Among the seven top forces in the Great Realm, except for the hostility between the Witch and Immortal forces, the super strong of other forces actually have more or less some exchanges.
Such explosive news naturally spread rapidly in secret.
"Mingjian, one hundred floors of the One Star Tower?"
"I remember, the difficulty of the one hundred floors of the Seven Star Tower in the Taiyuan Immortal Realm is actually divided according to the path of the strongest genius, right?"
"To pass one hundred floors, this Mingjian, if he grows up in the future, will at least be a peak powerhouse of a Star Lord."
"It's incredible."
"I heard he's still from the Northern Silent lineage and should be proficient in the way of space." Most of the super-existences of various forces noted down the name Mingjian.
Ordinary geniuses, they disdain to remember.
Even when Mingjian was reigning as king on the low-level battlefield, most of the super-existences of other forces didn't care.
But facing a monstrous genius who is almost destined to become a peak Star Lord, and even has a certain probability of becoming a sovereign.
In just a few million years, he will be on par with them.
A million years? To these super-existences, it's just a very short period of time. How could they not take it seriously? Not remember?
It can be said.
At this point, the name Mingjian truly left its mark among countless top powerhouses in the Great Realm, truly spreading throughout the entire Great Realm.
... When the name Mingjian truly resounded throughout the Qingling Great Realm, in a mysterious and distant place far from the space-time of the Great Realm.
Inside a rather simple cave.
"Sea Moon sister." An anxious voice suddenly sounded, followed by a figure in white robes rushing into the cave, shouting loudly.
Boom!
The sealed stone door opened.
"What's wrong? Sister, what makes you so anxious?" A figure in silver armor flew out from it. Her appearance was flawless, her voice cold, and there was a faint flash of lightning on her armor, like a god.
If Wu Yuan were here, he would surely notice that compared to decades ago, Zhuo Haiyue's aura had undergone a special change.
"Sea Moon sister, I really admire your temperament, always so calm and composed. Well, you've passed eighty floors of the Two Star Tower, so you're qualified to be indifferent." The white-robed girl who hurried over couldn't help but say.
"Sister, go ahead." Zhuo Haiyue smiled faintly, but this smile dissipated all the killing intent emanating from her.
"Have you heard of Mingjian?" The girl in white robes asked.
"Mingjian? Who is he?" Zhuo Haiyue's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, shaking her head slightly. "I haven't heard of him."
Since she came to the Divine Court headquarters decades ago, she had been practicing diligently, and she didn't have many friends.
She kept a low profile.
After all, there are many geniuses here, and there are countless people with great backgrounds. Although she is a disciple of the Star Lord, she is still insignificant.
"This Mingjian has made it onto the One Star Tianjiao List."
The girl in white robes continued, looking at Zhuo Haiyue. "Most importantly, he is a member of the Taiyuan Immortal Realm in the Qingling Great Realm. Haven't you heard?"
"One Star Tianjiao List?" Zhuo Haiyue's eyes flashed with astonishment.
She had been practicing in the Divine Court for decades.
Naturally, she understood what this meant.
The Divine Court's Tianjiao List is divided from one star to seven stars, and only those who pass the respective One Star Tower's one hundred floors are eligible to leave their names.
The highest quality is the Seven Star Tianjiao List, representing the most powerful geniuses in the vast river of time and space.
However, the One Star Tianjiao List is equally dazzling.
"Before, no one from your hometown could leave their names on the Tianjiao List," the white-robed girl sighed, "for millions of years, not a single one could leave their name. This Mingjian is the first."
"His name is estimated to have spread throughout most of the Divine Court by now."
"After all, leaving a name on the Tianjiao List, such a monstrous genius, even in the Divine Court, hasn't been born for millions of years." The white-robed girl sighed, "Everyone is talking about it now."
"This Mingjian is the number one genius in the Divine Court now."
"However, I wonder when Mingjian will come to the Divine Court headquarters." The white-robed girl kept chattering.
Zhuo Haiyue smiled.
She and this white-robed girl came from different Great Realms but had compatible personalities.
"When Mingjian comes, you two are from the same hometown, so you must introduce him to me when the time comes," the white-robed girl said with a smile.
"Of course."
"Such a monstrous genius, when he comes to the Divine Court headquarters, we will definitely get to know him as soon as possible." Zhuo Haiyue smiled.
Shortly after.
Zhuo Haiyue sent away the white-robed girl and returned to her quiet room, quickly checking for information about 'Mingjian.'
"Number one in the Divine Court?"
"Leaving a name on the Tianjiao List? I didn't expect that, in my hometown, besides me, such a monstrous genius could be born." Zhuo Haiyue sighed to herself.
She was also shocked by Mingjian's deeds.
"Don't worry, Haiyue," a voice as tender as a child's sounded, "it's just the One Star Tianjiao List."
"The road is still long."
"You have the complete Thunder Saint imprint, and with my guidance, your progress will only get faster. Step by step, at the Eighty-ninth floor of the Two Star Tower, you can still compete."
"Your goal is to challenge the final one hundred floors of the Seven Star Tower and become a Thunder Lord in one fell swoop."
"By then, go back to the Qingling Great Realm and crush the rotten bones left by that scum who bled and refined." The childish voice prattled on, "Fortunately, I'm cunning and have never been exposed, so I didn't let him detect me."
"Otherwise, before finding you, I'm afraid I would have been refined into ashes by him."
"Your divine origin and the Thunder Saint are perfectly compatible, which is incredible. Don't underestimate yourself."
"Mm." Zhuo Haiyue nodded slightly.
Boom~ A mysterious and unpredictable thunderlight emanated from her body, and her rapid rise was due to the two battles of blood refinement.
"Mingjian?"
"Well, having a competitor in this era is also interesting." Zhuo Haiyue gently closed her eyes and continued to cultivate.
For some reason.
A figure appeared in her mind, murmuring to herself, "Li Xia, I wonder if you're doing okay?"
...
As the news spread throughout the Great Realm, Kuachitu, the Witch Lord, naturally learned about it quickly.
"Mingjian, passed one hundred floors of the One Star Tower?" Kuachitu looked at the intelligence sent by the Blood Shadow Lord, secretly shocked.
"My disciple?"
The degree of shock in his heart was no less than that of the Northern Silent Immortal Lord, and perhaps even more so.
Because he was well aware of Wu Yuan's rate of progress.
"Too fast."
"So quickly reaching one hundred floors of the One Star Tower, has he comprehended the true meaning of the True Realm Law?" Kuachitu could only draw this conclusion.
The fusion of the three intermediate-level law meanings erupted with extremely strong power.
"How can the rate of transformation and growth be so fast?"
"Does he have incredible talent in spatial law? Or did he obtain a great opportunity in the Immortal Land?" Kuachitu shook his head slightly, unable to pinpoint it for a moment.
Because Wu Yuan's growth trajectory had already exceeded his understanding.
Just joining his sect, he was inferior to many of his past disciples, barely ranking at the bottom, but in just twenty or thirty years, he had caught up to Jiang Huan and Zhang Hong.
Now another twenty years had passed.
In terms of brilliance, he was already the first among the thousands of disciples under his sect.
"Even among the countless geniuses under the Witch Court, in terms of talent performance, he's probably enough to rank in the top ten." Kuachitu sighed inwardly.
The countless geniuses he referred to here were all the cultivators under the Witch Court, which showed how high their quality was.
As for the Azure Peak Witch Realm?
He was already the undisputed number one genius.
"My disciple is still very immature. Now he's just beginning to show his potential. After tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, he may attract the attention of countless strongmen in the Witch Court." Kuachitu sighed somewhat emotionally.
The little guy he recruited back then turned out to be so powerful?
"The innate witch patterns, the ancestral witch's vision, are truly unfathomable, beyond my reach." Kuachitu remembered the command he received back then.
If it weren't for that command, he wouldn't have accepted Wu Yuan as his disciple at all.
Timing and fate.
"But it has brought me a monstrous genius." Kuachitu smiled slightly, but he was quite looking forward to it.
If Wu Yuan could cultivate to become a monarch in the future, then it would be a cause for celebration.
Monarchs were of great help to him.
The master-disciple relationship was an extremely reliable one, second only to that of Dao companions.
After all, in the endless long years, most of the closest relatives of the super strong would die.
Only disciples, Dao companions, and the like, with similar strength and eternal life, could support each other.
"For now, there's no need to see Wu Yuan."
Kuachitu understood this with a little thought, "Let him refine his corporeal body in the Immortal Land first."
"As for refining the qi corporeal body?"
"If there's anything he needs my help with, I believe he'll come to see me." Kuachitu thought to himself.
Training a monstrous genius was different from training ordinary disciples.
...
The name 'Mingjian' was spreading throughout the entire Qingling Great Realm, and even the headquarters of the Taiyuan Divine Court, but it did not have much impact on Wu Yuan's main body of refining Qi.
The number of people who knew the dual identities of Mingjian and Li Xia was extremely small.
As for now? Even if their ages were similar, no one would speculate anymore.
The gap was too big.
An elite genius of an Immortal Kingdom versus a genius who was almost the best in the endless history of the entire world? The difference was like heaven and earth.
In the Linqian Pavilion.
"The shock caused by passing one hundred floors of the One Star Tower seems to be quite significant, even Senior Master Huocang sent congratulations." Wu Yuan thought to himself. After receiving the inheritance, he had been practicing in seclusion in his quiet room.
These past few days.
He had received quite a few congratulatory messages in the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm, mostly from the Star Monarchs of the Northern Silent Lineage.
More than thirty of them!
Most of them are senior martial uncles, and there are also a few third-generation disciples.
You should know that when he was officially listed as a third-generation disciple, these super existences from the Northern Silent Lineage showed no signs of caring, obviously not paying much attention.
After all, the gap in strength between Wu Yuan and these Star Monarchs was too great.
But now? It seemed that they were all much more polite.
"My strength is still far from enough."
"But the potential I've shown is enough to make these eternal Star Monarchs pay attention." Wu Yuan smiled slightly.
But Wu Yuan didn't let it go to his head.
Compared to before, there was no fundamental difference. These Star Monarchs from the Northern Silent Lineage were just being polite.
Suddenly.
"Mingjian nephew, are you here?" A voice came from outside the courtyard, sounding very gentle.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan opened his eyes.
With a flash, he left the quiet room and came outside.
"Senior Martial Uncle Gula." Wu Yuan bowed respectfully.
"Haha."
The chubby Star Monarch Gula laughed, his eyes almost slits: "Mingjian nephew, you are really amazing. Congratulations, breaking through one hundred floors of the One Star Tower, setting a record for my Eternal Sun Immortal Realm."
"Thank you for your praise, Senior Martial Uncle." Wu Yuan smiled faintly.
"I came to see you, not only to congratulate you, but also to take you to see the Immortal Monarch." Star Monarch Gula said.
"Immortal Monarch?" Wu Yuan was slightly surprised.
"Yes, you have condensed the intermediate-level law meanings, and the Immortal Monarch is aware of it, so he specially ordered me to bring you." Star Monarch Gula said with a click of his tongue: "Nephew, being summoned by the Immortal Monarch in such a short time, even back then, few of us disciples could do it."
Wu Yuan smiled.
There was something he didn't say in his heart. In terms of progress, few of the Northern Silent Lineage's disciples could keep up with him either.
"Let's go." Star Monarch Gula waved his hand and quickly took Wu Yuan out of the Linqian Pavilion.
They swiftly traveled through the mountains and soon arrived at the temple.
"Go in." Star Monarch Gula said, "If the Immortal Monarch hasn't summoned me, I won't go in."
Wu Yuan nodded.
With a leap, he quickly entered the temple.
"Mingjian, pay your respects to the Master." Wu Yuan bowed respectfully, and the figure at the end of the temple remained the same, as if eternity had descended upon it.
Both were monarchs.
But the aura controlled by Kuachitu and the Northern Silent Immortal Monarch due to different upper-level law meanings was completely different.
"Mingjian."
"Being able to pass one hundred floors of the One Star Tower is very good. Your progress is faster than I imagined." The Northern Silent Immortal Monarch looked down at Wu Yuan, smiling, "But, your ability to pass through, I'm afraid, is also because you've crossed the threshold of the law of life."
Wu Yuan was secretly surprised.
During the battles in the Seven Star Tower world, he had not revealed any mysteries about the law of life, yet it was still seen through.
Truly a monarch.
"Master, your insight is profound."
Wu Yuan was extremely respectful, and he pondered, "Disciple has progressed very quickly in the realms of the True Realm and the Universe, but in the aspect of the Space Law... progress is indeed pitifully slow."
Wu Yuan was worried that the Northern Silent Immortal Monarch would be dissatisfied because of this.
"It doesn't matter, I've said it before, whether it's the law of space or the law of life, it's up to you to choose, and I won't be angry about it." The Northern Silent Immortal Monarch said, "I met you because you met my first stage requirements."
"I'll give you a hundred years to condense the intermediate-level law meanings of space, but you only took twenty-three years, very good."
Wu Yuan's main body refining Qi listened.
A hundred years?
If it weren't for the special changes in the immortal land, it would probably take decades for me to condense the true meaning of the True Realm.
"As a reward for you for completing the goal ahead of schedule, I will grant you one hundred thousand divine crystals."
"I have two requirements for your second stage."
"First, pass through one hundred floors of the Two Star Tower and one hundred floors of the Three Star Tower. Their difficulty should be lower than that of one hundred floors of the One Star Tower," said the Northern Silent Immortal Monarch.
Wu Yuan nodded involuntarily.
That's right.
According to the intelligence he knew, in the Seven Star Tower world, the difficulty of one hundred floors of the Seven Star Tower is the highest because it requires mastering a complete upper-level law, which is terrifyingly difficult.
Next is one hundred floors of the One Star Tower, because the age of one hundred years is too young, normally speaking, it's impossible to achieve.
Next are one hundred floors of the Six Star Tower, one hundred floors of the Five Star Tower, one hundred floors of the Four Star Tower...
On the contrary, if one can pass one hundred floors of the One Star Tower, with such terrifying cultivation speed, one can almost certainly pass through one hundred floors of the Two Star Tower and Three Star Tower in the future as long as one follows the routine cultivation.
"The second requirement is to deduce all three intermediate-level laws of the space within a thousand years to the level of true meaning," said the Northern Silent Immortal Monarch as he looked at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan's face changed slightly.
The first requirement wasn't difficult for him, but the second requirement? That's completely different!
The three intermediate-level laws of space, let alone the other two, trying to deduce the space law to the level of true meaning? Difficult!
You know, Wu Yuan has just comprehended the first realm.
With slow comprehension speed and insufficient interest and motivation in his heart, comprehension would require many times more time and energy, definitely resulting in a lot of effort for little gain.
After a little thought, Wu Yuan understood that the Northern Silent Immortal Monarch probably still hadn't given up the idea of having him comprehend the complete space law.
"Mingjian, I won't make it difficult for you," said the Northern Silent Immortal Monarch, "If you meet the first requirement, I will grant you one million divine crystals."
Wu Yuan listened.
One million divine crystals? This is a wealth comparable to ordinary celestial immortals, but to break through one hundred floors of the Three Star Tower, he would have to at least reach the completion stage of refining Qi.
He might even become an earthly immortal.
"If you fail to meet the second requirement, after completing your training years at the Linqian Pavilion, you can leave the Northern Silent Realm and roam freely, just like other third-generation disciples," said the Northern Silent Immortal Monarch, "However, if you can meet both requirements."
"Then, you can proceed to the third stage of cultivation."
The Northern Silent Immortal Monarch said, "Many of my disciples under my command can enter the third stage, and this is also the greatest opportunity I have prepared for you."
"The path is up to you, how to choose is up to you."
"Whether you can succeed depends on your own efforts."
"Go back first." The Northern Silent Immortal Monarch didn't ask Wu Yuan to make a decision immediately, but directly issued the order to dismiss him.
"Yes, Master." Wu Yuan respectfully bowed and slowly retreated.
... Wu Yuan's main body refining Qi returned to the residence of the Linqian Pavilion.
"The two requirements for the second stage?"
"A thousand years to deduce the true meaning of the space, true domain, and universe?" Wu Yuan sat cross-legged on the jade platform.
He pondered.
Although he didn't understand what the 'greatest opportunity' mentioned by the Northern Silent Immortal Monarch was, it must be extraordinary to make an immortal monarch pay such attention to it.
"I wonder if Master Kuachitu wants to cultivate another life monarch," Wu Yuan thought to himself, "The Northern Silent Master probably also wants to cultivate another space monarch... But do I have to walk both paths at the same time?"
The purpose of the Northern Silent Immortal Monarch was revealed without reservation, that is, he thought Wu Yuan's spatial talent was extremely high and wanted to guide him to comprehend the law of space.
The decision was in Wu Yuan's hands.
If it was said that Wu Yuan had no ideas at all, that would be false.
A space monarch, to some extent, was even rarer, nobler, and stronger than a life monarch.
But after only a moment, Wu Yuan calmed down.
"This is not right!"
"My heart, it actually wavered? It's worthy of a monarch, just a few simple words, unconsciously influencing my inner choice?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, then his eyes became firm again: "Greedy for too much leads to nothing."
"I have a slight hope of comprehending the law of life only if my two main bodies jointly comprehend and strive for it. It's also the most suitable path for me."
"Although the law of space is good, at least for now, it doesn't align with my inner self."
"If I were to pursue both paths? I'm afraid neither will succeed in the end." Wu Yuan's main body refining Qi had already figured it out, and his Dao heart became purer.
Continuously questioning oneself can make the inner self stronger, purer, and unshakeable.
"However."
"That one million divine crystals still need to be worked hard for." Wu Yuan thought to himself, "Next, let's first strive to deduce the 'law of universe' to the level of true meaning."
Although he didn't plan to comprehend the law of space.
But for the law of universe, which is best at preserving life, Wu Yuan still didn't want to give up.
"As for the rest."
"Let's wait for the main body refining Qi to come out of the immortal land before deciding." Wu Yuan's main body refining Qi gently closed his eyes, "I wonder, what exactly is my main body refining Qi experiencing?"
...
Wu Yuan's main body refining Qi was unaware of everything his main body refining Qi was experiencing.
In the mysterious ancient land.
Wu Yuan's main body refining Qi had been in the Heavenly Witch Palace, practicing single-mindedly.
In the blink of an eye, four years had passed.
The ten-year period was over.
Unconsciously, Wu Yuan had also reached the age of one hundred.
"Has the ten years passed?" Wu Yuan gently opened his eyes, feeling the rapid weakening of the efficacy of the Heavenly Witch Source.
At the same time, the special auxiliary comprehension effect of the witch hall was also rapidly declining.

Chapter 363: Sole Authority of Heaven and Earth
"It's a pity."
"If this state could last for another ten years, I'm afraid I could comprehend the law of life to the level of true meaning in one fell swoop," Wu Yuan lamented inwardly.
In this state, the efficiency of comprehension was terrifyingly high, with countless insights surging into his mind endlessly, as if there were no end.
One obstacle after another was overcome, one bottleneck after another was shattered.
The speed of comprehension was many times faster than before.
"When I first accepted the test from Master, I planned to cross the threshold of the law of life within three hundred years and condense the true meaning of life before one thousand years," Wu Yuan thought to himself.
This speed was already terrifying.
Under Master Kua Chi, among the thousands of senior brothers and sisters, only two achieved it, and their ultimate achievements were extremely high.
"But what about me now?" Wu Yuan's mind stirred.
Whoosh~
An unfathomable and vast mystery of the Dao instantly enveloped Wu Yuan, with a faint green color tinged with a hint of blue, beautiful and mysterious.
Wu Yuan's life aura became vast and endless.
"At the eighth level of the domain of life, with a little more cultivation time, I estimate I can reach the ninth level of the domain of life," Wu Yuan perceived.
The eighth level of the domain of life was equivalent to the eighth level of the lower domain.
And within ten years, the Dao of Stars, one of the three major middle-level laws, had also unconsciously broken through to the sixth level of true meaning.
"With this kind of Dao comprehension, it would be easy to pass the one hundred levels of a one-star tower, I wonder if my refining Qi main body has gone to challenge it." Wu Yuan thought to himself, "Now, my real age has reached one hundred years."
"If my refining Qi main body hasn't gone, then I can only challenge the two-star tower."
Generally, someone at the seventh level of the lower domain could pass the one hundred levels of a one-star tower.
Wu Yuan's two main bodies shared the same Dao comprehension, but they were separated by the immortal land, isolating their consciousnesses.
They didn't know what each other had experienced.
"A one-star tower with one hundred levels is easy to pass, but a two-star tower with one hundred levels? It would probably take hundreds of years of cultivation." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
A two-star tower could only be challenged between one hundred and three hundred years old, and one must reach the level of a heavenly immortal to comprehend it.
That is, to comprehend an entire lower-level law.
Of course, for Wu Yuan, who comprehended the upper-level laws, as long as he deduced the law of life to the level of true meaning, he would be equivalent to comprehending an entire lower-level law and could pass the two-star tower with one hundred levels.
"The ninth level of the domain of life is not difficult for me, just follow the usual cultivation."
"But."
"If I want to condense the true meaning of life?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, well aware of the difficulty involved.
Either rely on time to grind away, spending a hundred or two hundred years to break through eventually.
Or it could be a sudden realization, but that was unpredictable.
"No rush."
"This time in the Heavenly Witch Palace, my gains have been tremendous, there's no need to be greedy anymore."
"First, slowly deduce to the ninth level of the domain of life, and then continuously accumulate and attempt to break through." Wu Yuan was very patient.
Breaking through the bottleneck of the upper-level laws.
Each step would greatly enhance his strength, naturally much more difficult than the middle-level laws, ten times or even a hundred times harder.
Phew!
Wu Yuan's mind stirred, and the fluctuations of the law of life enveloping his body quickly returned to normal.
But he thought of another question—the Heavenly Witch Source and the Heavenly Witch Palace.
"These miraculous treasures are too incredible; I'm afraid there's nothing like them even in the Qingling Great World," Wu Yuan thought to himself, "Let alone the Heavenly Witch, even the monarchs probably can't provide them."
The reason for such speculation was simple.
If a monarch could provide them, then there would have been some incredible geniuses emerging in history.
But there weren't any!
Chapter 363: The Unique Authority of Heaven and Earth
"My cultivation speed now can be considered the first in the history of the Great World among my peers." Wu Yuan had extremely high authority in both the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm and the Azure Peak Witch Realm, and he was privy to many pieces of information.
At the age of one hundred, could one reach the level he had attained?
It's not just a rare occurrence; it's nonexistent!
"The Heavenly Witch Palace alone guides the comprehension of cultivation, which should originate from the Dao comprehended by the 'cultivator' themselves." Wu Yuan pondered.
The stronger the cultivator, the better the guidance effect of the Heavenly Witch Palace.
Wu Yuan comprehended the upper-level laws, had extraordinary talent, and was assisted by the Heavenly Witch Source, which could be said to have maximized the role of the Heavenly Witch Palace.
Hence, he had made such great progress.
"Can it guide the comprehension of upper-level laws, as if one is in the midst of the origin?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. When comprehending, he had no distractions in his mind.
However, now that his cultivation had ended, countless thoughts emerged involuntarily in his mind.
"One possibility is that this world is very special, perhaps created by some supreme being." Wu Yuan sighed.
Because his perspective was high enough, Wu Yuan knew the extraordinary nature of these methods.
"Another possibility is that both the Heavenly Witch Palace and the Heavenly Witch Source are opportunities prepared for me under the guidance of the immortal land." Wu Yuan pondered.
The most likely scenario was a combination of the two possibilities.
"If the Heavenly Witch Palace is so miraculous, how much more incredible would the legendary Creation Temple be?" Wu Yuan felt a hint of anticipation.
But he also felt troubled.
The Creation Temple? It was within the Tianzhu Mountain, and it was impossible to enter without defeating the three great emperors of the Celestial Race.
"Let's leave the Witch Chamber first."
"Think of a solution slowly." Wu Yuan stood up and walked out of the Witch Chamber.
He saw that the bronze gate that had been closed for ten years was slowly opening.
...
Exiting the Witch Chamber.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan was surprised to find that there were already six figures standing in the hall outside, each exuding an extremely powerful aura.
Even the Witch Chiefs, Hozhi and Houqiong, were not considered strong among this group.
The two burly figures at the front, in particular, exuded a fierce and domineering aura, obviously surpassing Hozhi and Houqiong, especially with a hint of the charm of harmonizing with the heavens and the earth, which allowed Wu Yuan to judge instantly—they were masters of the Dao.
This was the characteristic of comprehending a complete Dao.
Unless deliberately restrained, it was easy to identify.
"Witch Gods? Two Witch Gods?" Wu Yuan was amazed.
According to what Hozhi had said before.
In the Tianwu Tribe, a Witch who comprehended a complete Dao was called a Witch God.
At this moment, Wu Yuan felt the scorching gaze of these powerful beings, as if they were all waiting for him to come out.
"Houfeng Witch Chief, haha, you finally came out of seclusion."
Houzhi smiled, "We elders and the two Witch Gods have been waiting for half a day."
Elders, Witch Gods? Wu Yuan thought to himself.
They were all the highest level of the Earth and Sky Witch Tribe. Were they all here to welcome him?
"This is Houlu Witch God, and this is Houtu Witch God. You already know Houqiong Elder..." Hozhi introduced them one by one to Wu Yuan.
With each introduction, these Witch Gods and Elder Witch Chiefs nodded slightly, showing great respect.
"I have met the two Witch Gods and all the Elders." Wu Yuan bowed slightly in respect. Although his comprehension of the Dao was not much weaker than theirs, his foundation was several levels lower, so he was far behind in direct combat.
"No need to be overly polite, Houfeng." The leading Houlu Witch God, who was extremely burly, looked at Wu Yuan with great joy, "After Snake Ancestor's decision and the meeting of our Earth and Sky Witch Tribe Elders, it has been officially decided to appoint you as the eighth Elder of the tribe."
"Elder?" Wu Yuan was suddenly shocked.
In the Tianwu Tribe, elders are usually peak Witches.
"My strength isn't enough yet," Wu Yuan couldn't help but say.
"Indeed, it's not enough yet, but in terms of Dao comprehension, you probably rival us now," Houzhi said with a smile. "At least you're close. In a few hundred or thousand years, when you become a top Witch, your strength will naturally match ours."
Wu Yuan was somewhat surprised.
This series of news came too quickly. Although it made sense theoretically, he still hadn't reached the level of a top Witch.
He was far behind in terms of strength.
"Houfeng."
The previously silent Houtu Witch God suddenly spoke, "I know you have concerns, but this was Snake Ancestor's decision. Let's go see Snake Ancestor first."
"Snake Ancestor?" Wu Yuan was taken aback.
Who was that?
In the early days of the Witch Clan, there were legends about the Heavenly Witch, including the Snake Ancestor.
However, after countless years and generations, coupled with the deliberate concealment by the Tianwu Tribe, the legend of the Snake Ancestor had long been lost.
The younger generation, like Wu Yuan, knew very little about it. He only knew some common information about the ancient Witch Clan and was naturally unaware.
"Come with us first," the Houlu Witch God smiled.
"Yes," Wu Yuan nodded lightly.
Soon.
Houlu Witch God, Houtu Witch God, Houzhi Witch Chief, and Wu Yuan left the Heavenly Witch Palace along the passage.
However, the other three elders, including Houqiong, did not follow.
"What do you think of Houfeng?" The white-haired elder Houqiong Witch Chief said.
"His spiritual power is very strong, his will is very strong, and under our observation, his eyes showed no sign of hesitation. He's very good."
"I can't see through him." The two elders gave high praise.
Houqiong Witch Chief nodded. "Being praised by Snake Ancestor is rare. The last one was the Toasting Witch God of the Huo Witch Clan."
The other two elders nodded in agreement.
In their communication, they had already concluded that Wu Yuan had the potential to match or even surpass the Toasting Witch God.
They were all extremely pleased with Wu Yuan's rise.
As the highest level of the Earth and Sky Witch Tribe, and in the war with the Celestial Clan, they were at the forefront, under immense pressure.
The probability of winning the final war would increase with the birth of another unparalleled powerhouse.
...The two Witch Gods and Houzhi Witch Chief flew with Wu Yuan over the Heavenly Witch Tribe.
Houzhi Witch Chief had been chatting with Wu Yuan.
"Snake Ancestor is the Snake that followed the Heavenly Witch back then?" Wu Yuan was quite surprised.
Such ancient beings still existed in the ancient world?
Wu Yuan was very curious about the Four Heavenly Witches who had arrived in the ancient world first.
"Snake Ancestor? Following the Heavenly Witch? After thousands of years, its strength is probably even stronger. It's no wonder even the two Witch Gods seem to obey it." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
With such ancient beings, along with the Toasting Witch God and other Witch Gods, they still couldn't deal with the Celestial Court?
Through continuous communication with Houzhi Witch Chief, Wu Yuan gradually learned some other things.
"The war between the Witch and Celestial Clans is escalating again."
"The Houcheng Tribe has been destroyed? Within two or three days of my departure, the Emperor of the Celestial Clan led a large number of Celestials to attack the Houcheng Tribe, and all the people in the tribe were killed?" Wu Yuan was stunned when he heard this news.
He had been on the ancient land for over ten years, mostly in cultivation.
Shared experiences with the ancient Witch Clan?
Not much.
But in the short span of time in the Houcheng Tribe, it left a deep impression on Wu Yuan.
The unity and enthusiasm of people like Houming and Houquan, these Witches, infected Wu Yuan deeply and touched him deeply.
Moreover, the high-level members of the Houcheng Tribe, such as Hou Chengdi and Hou Fudi, also worked hard for him, which Wu Yuan remembered.
But in the blink of an eye.
The entire Houcheng Tribe turned into ruins? Completely wiped out?
This drastic change was a huge shock to the soul.
Even though Wu Yuan's Dao Heart was strong, he found it somewhat difficult to accept for a moment.
But Wu Yuan was ultimately an extraordinary powerhouse.
Both his comprehension of the Dao and his Dao Heart were extremely strong among the top Witches now.
In just an instant, his mind calmed down.
"After I left for a few days? The Houcheng Tribe was attacked, and it's related to me?" Wu Yuan seized the key point and asked.
This surprised both Witch Gods and Houzhi Witch Chief, and they glanced at each other.
"Yes, according to our calculations, there's a ninety percent chance it's related to you," Hou Tu Witch God said directly. "The three Emperors of the Celestial Clan, namely, the Emperor of the Southern Journey, the Emperor of Lei Fu, and the Emperor of Da Yan, each possess... Among them, the Ancient Creation Mirror is best at deducing fate."
"We suspect that Emperor Da Yan foresaw your existence," Hou Tu Witch God quickly explained.
This informed Wu Yuan of the general information about the three Great Emperors of the Celestial Clan.
Deducing fate? Destiny?
Wu Yuan was shocked beyond words. Perhaps the top Witches of the ancient Witch Clan didn't quite understand.
But Wu Yuan, from the outside world, knew very well that matters involving causality and destiny were beyond the grasp of not only ordinary immortals but even ordinary star lords.
Top Witch? Sovereign?
The difference between the two sides was countless times.
"Can the Ancient Creation Mirror specifically deduce my location?" Wu Yuan couldn't help asking.
"According to what Snake Ancestor said, it shouldn't be so miraculous," Hou Lu Witch God said. "I'm afraid they only vaguely deduced your threat."
"However, once combined with the collected intelligence, such as your passing the sixfold test of the Tianwu Tribe, the Celestial Clan should receive the news," Hou Lu Witch God said.
"How can they be sure that I was in the Houcheng Tribe at that time?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"No need to be sure."
Houzhi Witch Chief shook his head. "It's highly probable that the Celestial Clan had guessed you would be taken away by our Tianwu Tribe."
"But, for the Celestial Clan, as long as there's a possibility of killing you, they'll spare no effort."
Wu Yuan fell silent.
His time in the ancient world was too short, coupled with the lack of intelligence, so Wu Yuan couldn't make much preparations.
Nor did he expect that his inconspicuous actions would bring disaster to the Houcheng Tribe.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but realize how great a threat the Celestial Clan was to the ancient Witch Clan, and how crazy and bloody their actions were.
"Right or wrong?"
"I don't care." Wu Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of coldness. Previously, he seemed to look down on the entire ancient world like an observer.
He harbored neither much love nor much hatred for either the Witch or the Celestial Clan.
Even joining the Witch Clan camp was just a natural instinct for self-preservation. Even if he wanted to kill the Emperor of the Celestial Clan, it was just for the sake of opportunities.
Until this moment.
Wu Yuan truly harbored a killing intent towards the Celestial Clan.
Not for anything else, but solely for the deceased of the Houcheng Tribe.
"They died because of me. If it weren't for my sudden visit, they might have continued to live peacefully." Wu Yuan silently pondered, "Even if the tribe was eventually destroyed by the war."
"But at least, they could have existed for another thousand or ten thousand years."
"Moreover, even if the tribe was destroyed by the war, it wouldn't have attracted the wrath of the Emperor of the Celestial Clan, nor would it have been completely wiped out." Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.
Perhaps this was the arrangement of fate.
But Wu Yuan couldn't face it calmly.
"Emperor of the Celestial Clan? Lei Fu?" Wu Yuan remembered the name of the Emperor of Lei Fu and was determined to do everything possible to kill him before leaving.
For revenge!
Also, for understanding.
Although the Hou Tu Witch God, Hou Lu Witch God, and Hou Zhi Witch Chief didn't detect Wu Yuan's emotional changes, they did notice something amiss about him.
None of them said anything more.
They had seen too many similar things.
Telling Wu Yuan about this matter, besides it indeed being caused by Wu Yuan, might also have the factor of guiding Wu Yuan to hate the Celestial Clan.
Hatred.
Sometimes, it can become the source of cultivation.
...The four of them advanced through the tribe.
They flew for millions of miles, arrived at a continuous mountain range, and then entered a heavily guarded cave, heading deep into the earth.
The two Witch Gods led the way, and the guarding Witches and Witch Generals all respectfully saluted.
The journey was unimpeded.
Finally, they arrived at the depths of the underground. It was like a vast underground world, with a lake that seemed like an ocean, smooth as a mirror, twinkling with starlight, incredibly beautiful.
"This underground world?" Wu Yuan swept his gaze around, feeling that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was incredibly rich.
It was more than ten times that of the outside world.
That lake was actually extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, liquefied, forming a lake with a diameter of over a thousand miles? How astonishing.
In such an underground world, even ordinary plants and trees could develop spirituality and intelligence after a long time.
This was the importance of innate environment.
Suddenly.
"Whoosh~" The calm lake suddenly churned, and then a huge figure emerged from the water.
It was huge, with wings on each side, each feather seemingly capable of covering the sky, and each scale reaching over ten meters long. The giant snake head overlooked below.
In front of it.
Even the burly two Witch Gods seemed like tiny ants.
"Snake Ancestor." Hou Tu Witch God and Hou Lu Witch God respectfully saluted.
"Pay respects to the Snake God." Hou Zhi Witch Chief and Wu Yuan also saluted respectfully.
The Snake Ancestor's pair of snake eyes were huge, ancient and vicissitudes, full of wisdom, as if it could see through all of Wu Yuan's secrets, making Wu Yuan's heart slightly shocked and instinctively a little flustered.
The Snake Ancestor.
From its appearance, it was essentially an enlarged version of Xiao Hei, an extremely powerful Teng Snake.
"He is Hou Feng?" The voice of the Snake Ancestor was distant, echoing in the vast underground world.
"Yes." Hou Zhi Witch Chief said.
"Alright, Hou Zhi Elder, you go back first and practice diligently. Break through to become a Witch God as soon as possible. The war is getting more intense." The Snake Ancestor said lightly. "Hou Lu, Hou Tu, you two Witch Gods, go to the Temple of Divine Weapons and wait."
"I have some things to discuss with Hou Feng alone."
"Yes." Hou Zhi Witch Chief respectfully said.
The two Witch Gods also nodded.
Hou Zhi Witch Chief said to Wu Yuan again, "Hou Feng Elder, work hard and don't disappoint the expectations of the Snake Ancestor."
Then, the three of them quickly left the underground lake, leaving only the Snake Ancestor and Wu Yuan.
Incredibly quiet.
The huge body of the Snake Ancestor hung above the lake, with ripples on the water, but there was no sound.
Wu Yuan waited quietly, but he became more vigilant in his heart.
"Being able to comprehend the higher laws, very good," the Snake Ancestor suddenly spoke. "The laws of life are very powerful."
Wu Yuan was slightly surprised in his heart, but he wasn't too flustered.
The Tianwu Temple was left by the Tianwu, and this Snake Ancestor had followed the Tianwu in the past, so it probably could control the Tianwu Temple.
And he, completely exposed in the Tianwu Temple, probably couldn't escape the other party's investigation.
"Snake Ancestor's insight is remarkable. It was a coincidence that I could enter, but my level of comprehension is not high." Wu Yuan carefully chose his words.
"It's a pity!"
The voice of the Snake Ancestor revealed a hint of disappointment, sighing, "You are not a native creature of the ancient world. Even if you become a Tianwu, you cannot help me."
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, instantly shocking Wu Yuan's heart.
His heart was in chaos!
Exposed?
"Hou Feng, you don't need to panic, nor be in a hurry. Although I don't know where you came from in this world, you are also a descendant of the Witch Clan. I won't harm you," the Snake Ancestor's voice carried a hint of amusement. "I control some of the authority of the ancient world. I haven't seen you before, so I didn't notice."
"Now, seeing you with my own eyes, I understand."
"You are not a creature of the ancient earth," the Snake Ancestor looked down at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan was secretly shocked.
So, it was sensed through the so-called authority of the world?
He had known before that the three major emperors of the Celestial Clan controlled some of the authority of the world through the divine weapons.
"Don't worry, not only are you not a creature of the ancient world, I am not either."
The Snake Ancestor said calmly, "The four Tianwu of the past were all outsiders. They came to this world to spread teachings, allowing my Witch Clan to prosper and occupy this land."
Wu Yuan listened.
He indeed didn't know about such secrets of this land.
"Snake Ancestor, I mistakenly entered this world and did not intend to intrude."
Wu Yuan said, "But, I am also a descendant of the Witch Clan. Before leaving the ancient world, I will do my best to help the ancient Witch Clan defeat the Celestial Clan."
This sentence came from the bottom of Wu Yuan's heart.
"I believe you," the Snake Ancestor said, "Both of us are just passing through. I don't want to inquire into the reason you came to the ancient world."
"But from my estimation, it should be for some opportunities left by the Tianwu. However, if you want to gain the opportunity of the Divine Palace of Creation, the best way is to help the Witch Clan and use the power of the Witch Clan to win this war."
Wu Yuan was amazed.
Indeed, as someone who had followed the Tianwu of the Earth, the vision and insight of the Snake Ancestor were extraordinary. He saw through Wu Yuan at a glance.
"Thank you, Snake Ancestor," Wu Yuan said.
"If you want to gain the opportunity of this world, whether it's the Temple of the Tianwu or the Divine Palace of Creation, I won't stop you. However, I am here to guard the Witch Clan until a native Tianwu is born who can truly control this world. Our goals don't conflict," the Snake Ancestor looked at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan listened.
"You are currently just a Witch, but your comprehension of the Dao is close to the level of a Tianwu."
"Such a peerless genius, I can't imagine."
"I think your background is even greater than I imagined. Are you behind by a Star Monarch or a Sovereign?" The Snake Ancestor looked down at Wu Yuan. "I hope we can cooperate."
The more Wu Yuan listened, the more shocked he became.
The vision and insight of this Snake Ancestor were beyond imagination. He even knew about the Sovereign?
Although the ancient world seemed not vast and quite closed, it had special treasures like the Temple of the Tianwu, the Divine Palace of Creation, and the source of the Tianwu. Looking at it now, there might be some other secrets behind it.
It wasn't just an immortal land created specifically for oneself.
"Please tell me more, Elder," Wu Yuan said respectfully.
"Your comprehension of the Dao is high. With your talent, you will improve rapidly, but you are not a native life and cannot directly control the authority of heaven and earth," the Snake Ancestor said slowly. "The so-called authority of heaven and earth is the power bestowed by the original source of this world to creatures, allowing them to act on behalf of the heavens."
"Like the core of this ancient world, it is the source of the four elements: earth, fire, wood, and water."
Wu Yuan was shocked to hear this.
This was the first time he had heard an explanation of the authority of heaven and earth. The power bestowed by the source of this world?
Did it have to be a native creature?
"Anyone who can comprehend any subordinate law, integrate their divine soul into the origin of the Dao of heaven and earth, can mobilize the power in the origin of this world. These powers are the authority bestowed by heaven and earth!"
"This kind of authority, only exists within this world. Once you leave this world, the authority will be deprived," the Snake Ancestor said.
"The deeper the comprehension of the Dao, the more power can be mobilized."
"With deeper comprehension, until mastering any of the intermediate laws of the four original laws, you can completely imprint your own life mark in the source of the Dao in this world," the Snake Ancestor said. "By then, you will be the undisputed ruler of this world."
"The true representation of heavenly authority! The original intention is the will of heaven."
"Even without the heavenly tribulation, one can use the power of the world's source to transform oneself and achieve Tianwu," the Snake Ancestor said slowly. "As long as the world exists, one will possess the power and authority of the entire world with every move."
Wu Yuan suddenly understood.
The reason the Snake Ancestor stayed was probably to guide the Witch Clan of the ancient world to eventually produce a strong individual who could control the intermediate laws.
A true master of this world.
"The first to comprehend the intermediate laws becomes the master of heaven and earth?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What about the second?"
"The authority of heaven and earth is unique," the Snake Ancestor's face revealed a hint of inexplicable meaning. "Just like there is only one emperor in the human world."
"There can't be two rulers in heaven."
"Similarly, the imprint of the previous ruler has not dissipated. How can the later ones leave their life marks?" the Snake Ancestor said calmly.
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
It sounded like a struggle to seize the only opportunity available.
Once there is a successful person, countless others are doomed to fail.
No matter how extraordinary and rebellious, they cannot surpass the predecessors.
"However, the unique authority of heaven and earth sounds good, but the exercise of authority is both power and responsibility."
"Receiving and giving always go hand in hand."
"Once you leave your life mark, it's hard to leave," the Snake Ancestor's face showed a hint of inexplicable meaning. "Just like the emperor of the human world, the power is immense, but there are mistakes in actions, causing chaos in the world. Even one's own life is not guaranteed."
"At that time, even if you want to abdicate and save your life, can you?"
Wu Yuan listened and felt secretly shocked.
To wield the unique authority of heaven and earth is like being an emperor in the human world?
Although the Snake Ancestor's words were simple, Wu Yuan had a strange feeling as if he had grasped some great secret.
This ancient world, although seemingly only the size of a fairy island, even compared to a vast fairy kingdom, still appeared mysterious, involving many secrets.
"Snake Ancestor."
Wu Yuan suddenly realized something. "If you, like me, are also an outsider, how can you control part of the authority of heaven and earth?"
"Tianwu Divine Weapon," the Snake Ancestor uttered four words.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.
"The Tianwu Divine Weapon was left behind by the Tianwu and contains the will of the Tianwu," the Snake Ancestor looked at Wu Yuan. "The four great Tianwu are not the Tianwu you know, but the Witches of the Heavens."
"The divine weapons they left behind contain a perfect and independent origin. The mysteries of the origin are vast. As long as you comprehend deeply enough, you can borrow some of the authority and will contained in the Tianwu divine weapons."
Wu Yuan was shaken to the core.
Tianwu? No! Clearly, they were Witches of the Heavens, just one word difference, but a world of difference.
What kind of existence were these four who descended to the earth millions of years ago? Star Monarchs? Sovereigns? Or something else?
Everything was a secret.
Wu Yuan couldn't delve into it.
Obviously, although the Snake Ancestor claimed to follow the Tianwu of the Earth, he seemed to be elusive.
"The Tianwu Divine Weapon can only be used by those of the Witch Clan bloodline," the Snake Ancestor said. "But as for the Creation Divine Weapon, it's even more mysterious, and I know very little about it."
"If you want to know the secrets of the Creation Divine Weapon, you'll have to rely on yourself."
"Understood," Wu Yuan nodded lightly.
"I hope you can master the Tianwu Divine Weapon and unleash its full power to the greatest extent," the Snake Ancestor said. "Then, help the ancient Witch Clan win the war."
"I think, with your talent, it won't take more than a few thousand or tens of thousands of years."
"As a reward."
"In the coming years, I will do my best to protect your safety until you grow up. If you need anything else, you can also tell me," the Snake Ancestor looked at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan understood.
This was a deal.
As an outsider, he couldn't become a Tianwu, nor could he control the authority of heaven and earth in the ancient world.
So, for the Snake Ancestor, his biggest role was to wipe out the Celestial Clan.
Unfortunately, he didn't have that much time, only a thousand years.
"I am willing to do my best," Wu Yuan said.
Facing the Snake Ancestor's proposal, he had no reason to refuse.
"Follow me."
The Snake Ancestor's huge body flew out of the lake, and then his body began to shrink at a visible speed, from thousands of feet to hundreds... until it was only thirty feet in size.
Flying towards a distant cave.
Wu Yuan hurried to catch up.
...
Here was a magnificent and endless temple, where the Hou Tu Witch God and the Hou Lu Witch God were waiting patiently.
Suddenly.
Boom! Swish! Two streaks of light flew quickly, causing the two Witch Gods to turn their heads and brighten their eyes: "The Snake Ancestor and Hou Feng are here."
The Snake Ancestor and Wu Yuan flew into the main hall.
"Snake Ancestor."
"Hou Feng Elder." The Hou Tu Witch God and the Hou Lu Witch God hurriedly greeted them, with a hint of expectation in their eyes.
"I have tested Hou Feng's strength. It's extraordinary. I believe he will soon have insights comparable to the Tianwu and be able to match you," the Snake Ancestor said. "Moreover, the Dao he comprehends is likely very suitable for mastering the Tianwu Divine Weapon."
"Close to us?"
"Suitable for mastering the Tianwu Divine Weapon?" The two Witch Gods were even more delighted.
But Wu Yuan heard that the Snake Ancestor seemed unwilling to let the two Witch Gods know that he was an outsider.
That's fine too.
"Hou Feng, go ahead," the Snake Ancestor looked at Wu Yuan. "Try the Tianwu Divine Weapon and see what kind of power it can unleash?"
"Okay," Wu Yuan nodded.
Swish!
Turning into a streak of light, he quickly arrived at the end of the temple, where he saw the three Tianwu Divine Weapons floating in the void.
A suit of battle armor, two battle swords.
"Battle armor? Battle swords? Are they specially prepared for me?" Wu Yuan thought to himself.
The three Tianwu Divine Weapons hovered there, like three suspended worlds, giving Wu Yuan a sense of immovability.
He closed his eyes.
Three divine thoughts flew out simultaneously, penetrating into the Tianwu Divine Weapons. Very quickly, Wu Yuan 'saw'.
The appearance of the Tianwu Divine Weapons' weapons was just superficial.
Internally, they all contained an incomprehensible and majestic source of the Dao. Through this source, one could vaguely perceive a vast world, where countless lives seemed to live... the world of heaven and earth, life.
In an instant, Wu Yuan understood the essence of these Tianwu Divine Weapons.
They were true world treasures, and most importantly, they contained a complete and perfect source of heaven and earth!
This was incredibly unbelievable, deeply shocking Wu Yuan.
Because, unlike the countless worlds in the Qingling Grand Realm, although different worlds contained the essence of the world, the essence was not strong. The so-called essence was only the manifestation of the rules of the operation of heaven and earth, just some energy.
And not the true source of heaven and earth.
From small worlds to vast immortal countries encompassing thousands of dimensions, they were all like this.
As for some rare and precious world treasures?
Even if they could sustain a few lives, the rules of the world were incomplete, and the source was weak. Most lives born in the world were either defective or unable to cultivate, or difficult to reproduce and grow.
Although shocked, Wu Yuan did not hesitate too much.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Three divine thoughts instantly descended into the source of the Tianwu Divine Weapons.
The source of the Divine Weapons was vast and mysterious, and the profound mysteries of Wu Yuan's life laws began to unfold fully, seeking control.
In the blink of an eye.
In the calm gaze of the Snake Ancestor and the astonished eyes of the two Witch Gods, the three Tianwu Divine Weapons that were originally suspended flew up instantly and quickly merged into Wu Yuan's body.
Then.
"Boom boom boom~" Wu Yuan stood there, but his life aura began to skyrocket at a visible speed.
Quickly, it reached the level of the Sanctum.
First Sanctum, third Sanctum... Eventually, when the life aura reached the seventh Sanctum, this astonishing fluctuation of life aura finally stopped.
"This!"
"This? Hou Feng, this is too extraordinary. What Dao did he comprehend?" The two Witch Gods both showed astonishment.
You have to know that they had already comprehended one Dao, but even with the control of the Tianwu Divine Weapons, they could only increase their strength by one or two percent.
But what about Wu Yuan?
The surge in life aura increased by more than a hundred times? Even though there was the reason for his weaker strength, it was still incredibly terrifying.
Ordinary earth witches couldn't even use Tianwu Divine Weapons.
"Very good!"
"I didn't misunderstand him." There was a hint of joy in the eyes of the Snake Ancestor: "Higher-level laws, controlling the Tianwu Divine Weapons, indeed the most suitable."
The higher the level of the law, the more comprehensive it was, and the more majestic the power of the source that could be mobilized through the control of the Tianwu Divine Weapons!
They didn't disturb Wu Yuan.
They waited patiently.
After a long time.
"Exhale!" Wu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the majestic aura of his own life, already understanding the role of the Tianwu Divine Weapons.
First, as a magic weapon, it can engage in battles and withstand the maximum eruption of one's own strength and the mysteries of the Dao.
Second, it is the blessing of the authority of heaven and earth within the source of the divine weapon.
"I'm just at the level of Mountain and River, and my body is too weak, so I can only withstand a trace of the power of authority," Wu Yuan thought to himself. "If my body becomes stronger and my understanding of the Dao becomes higher, I can bear more power of authority from heaven and earth."
"Until one day."
"When my understanding of the Dao is completely mastered, and my body can perfectly bear it, with just one strike, it will rival the full eruption of the three Tianwu Divine Weapons containing the source of heaven and earth," Wu Yuan realized.
Right now, he's only at the Mountain and River Realm, and his life laws have not reached the level of True Intent.
So, the power he unleashes is equivalent to the seventh or eighth level of the Sanctum.
Even so, it's terrifying enough.
These Tianwu Divine Weapons seem to fundamentally enhance Wu Yuan's basic power and control perfectly.
"Moreover, this kind of authority from heaven and earth, unlike relying on external objects," Wu Yuan felt this majestic power, fascinated by it.
And shocked by it.
Other things, like Dao talismans, Source Crystal weapons, or puppets, are all external forces. Even though they are powerful, they still have flaws.
Only these Tianwu Divine Weapons are completely different.
"They are absolutely controlled, as if they were cultivated by oneself, it's simply incredible."
"Such treasures exist in the world?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
It's unheard of.
"Hou Feng," the Snake Ancestor suddenly spoke up, "These three Tianwu Divine Weapons are now entrusted to you. I hope you won't let them down."
"Thank you, Snake Ancestor," Wu Yuan said respectfully.
"Good."
"Hou Feng, practice well and enter the Earth Witch level as soon as possible, even the Upper Witch level," the two Witch Gods were extremely excited. "Only when you become an Upper Witch can you truly unleash the power of the Tianwu Divine Weapons."
...
Time flies.
Wu Yuan controlled the three Tianwu Divine Weapons of the Earth Tianwu lineage, and only a very few elders from a few tribes knew about it.
And Wu Yuan gradually integrated into the Tianwu Tribe, diligently practicing step by step.
The war between the Witch Clan and the Immortal Clan continued, and it was escalating.
Many Witch Clan tribes were destroyed, and more and more Earth Witches and Upper Witches left the Tianwu Tribe to participate in the war around Tianzhu Mountain.
However.
The Tianwu Tribe protected Wu Yuan very well, and the highest levels of other Tianwu Tribes knew very little about him. Even ordinary Upper Witches were not very clear about his background.
Wu Yuan had been patiently practicing in the tribe.
In the blink of an eye, sixty years passed, and Wu Yuan quietly stepped into the Sanctum realm, continuing his cultivation in silence.
...
The vast world within Tianzhu Mountain, the Thirty-Three Heavens.
The highest temple.
More than sixty Upper Immortals and eight hundred Earth Immortals stood inside the temple, their auras surging, wearing uniform silver battle armors, each with a solemn and murderous expression.
Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Suddenly, three figures appeared in the temple.
"Greetings, Emperor."
All the Upper Immortals and Earth Immortals in the hall bowed respectfully.
"In these decades of war, we have continuously used Tianzhu Mountain as our base to launch attacks, annihilating one Witch Clan tribe after another, forcing most of the top forces of the four major Tianwu Tribes to come to the Tianzhu Mountain area." The Emperor's voice resounded like thunder, echoing in the temple.
"All four major Tianwu Tribes are now empty."
"The purpose of summoning you is very simple."
"To attack, destroy a Tianwu Tribe, seize their Tianwu Hall, kill their numerous Earth Witches and Witch Generals, and damage their foundation." The Emperor's voice thundered, "Prepare yourselves."
"We depart in one day."
"Destroy the Wood Tianwu Tribe!"

(End of this chapter)
Chapter 364: A Hundred Years of Layout, Life and Death on the Line (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"Yes!" Many Upper Immortals and Earth Immortals bowed respectfully, all appearing extremely excited.
The battle between the Immortals and the Witches had been going on for tens of thousands of years.
Especially since the "Third Immortal-Witch War," the fighting between the two sides had been extremely brutal, with more than one high-level Witch tribe being wiped out.
But the four major Tianwu Tribes?
In the eyes of Upper and Earth Immortals, they were untouchable.
Indeed, in the eyes of many high-level members of the Witch and Immortal tribes, the escalating conflict between the two major forces over the past century had been dubbed the "Third Immortal-Witch War."
The first Immortal-Witch War was when all the races united as the Immortal tribe, and the three Immortal Emperors emerged, occupying Tianzhu Mountain.
The second Immortal-Witch War marked the official entry of the ancient world into the era of "Witches and Immortals standing side by side."
And the third Immortal-Witch War would be the beginning of the Immortals' counterattack and conquest, at least in the eyes of many high-level members of the Immortal tribe.
Soon after.
Many Upper Immortals and Earth Immortals left one after another to make their final preparations for battle, leaving only the three Emperors in the temple.
"Elder Brother."
Emperor Leifu couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly announce a surprise attack on the Wood Tianwu Tribe? Didn't we agree earlier to deal with Houfeng's threat?"
"Houfeng is in the Earth Tianwu Tribe, isn't he?"
"We've been preparing for decades, with the fall of numerous Earth Immortals and Upper Immortals, and even the death of many true Immortals, all to attract a large number of Earth Immortals and Upper Immortals from the Witch tribe. The ultimate goal is to kill Houfeng." Emperor Leifu couldn't understand.
The matter regarding Houfeng, including the reason for initiating the Third Immortal-Witch War, had never been revealed to any Upper Immortal or even those Heavenly Masters by the three Emperors.
Everything was kept secret!
So, Emperor Nanyou's actions were quite puzzling to Emperor Leifu.
"Who said we were going to attack the Wood Tianwu Tribe?" Emperor Nanyou smiled at his younger brother.
Emperor Leifu was puzzled.
"Brother, this is just a temporary strategy."
Emperor Dayan, who had been silent, spoke up. His face was still pale as he said, "Over the years, I've deduced many times and collected a large amount of intelligence. It's already confirmed that Houfeng is in the Earth Tianwu Tribe."
"But similarly, Houfeng has never truly shown himself in the Tianwu Tribe. He has always been hiding. Most of the Witch tribe's powerful figures don't know about this extraordinary genius." Emperor Dayan looked at Emperor Leifu.
"It's obvious that the Earth Tianwu lineage has been protecting him. Before he becomes powerful, he won't come out to roam." Emperor Dayan nodded involuntarily.
"We've never revealed the ultimate goal of the Third Immortal-Witch War, but the Witch tribe will definitely speculate."
"Normally, we're far from the point where our Immortal tribe launches a full-scale counterattack." Emperor Dayan said.
In terms of overall strength, the Witch tribe still surpassed the Immortal tribe.
Any Tianwu Tribe, along with its numerous Witch tribe tribes, was almost comparable to the entire Immortal tribe.
The greatest advantage of the Immortal tribe was Tianzhu Mountain!
The entire mountain was towering and endless, reaching hundreds of millions of miles high. With the strength of the Witch tribe, it was impossible to completely blockade it.
And the three Emperors guarded Tianzhu Mountain.
No matter how many Upper Immortals and Witch Gods the Witch tribe sent to attack, they couldn't win.
Here, it was like an impregnable fortress.
On the other hand, for the Witch tribe, in order to expand its influence, it had to divide its tribes one after another. Any Witch tribe tribe's strength was not strong. Once a major war broke out, the top Witch tribe powerhouses had to go to protect them.
In this way.
The Immortal tribe had no weaknesses, seemingly weaker in overall strength, but it was easy to concentrate its forces and gain an advantage in any local battlefield.
Unless the Witch tribe was willing to abandon the vast majority of its lower and middle-ranked tribes.
Otherwise, this point was unavoidable.
However, once the Witch tribe abandoned a large number of lower and middle-ranked tribes, the population of the entire Witch tribe would be greatly reduced, and the probability of producing strong individuals would also sharply decrease. As time passed, the overall strength of the Immortal tribe, based on Tianzhu Mountain, would continue to increase, eventually approaching and even catching up with the Witch tribe.
For the Witch tribe, the best solution was to engage in crazy attrition warfare!
The consumption of the Immortal tribe's powerhouses.
Two Earth Witches for one Earth Immortal, two Upper Witches for one Upper Immortal, all profitable.
Because the total population and number of strong individuals in the Witch tribe far exceed those of the Immortal tribe.
And the Immortal tribe?
The battle formations most suitable for Earth Immortals and Upper Immortals have yet to be perfected. It is extremely unwise to provoke a series of fierce battles at this time.
This principle is understood not only by the Immortal tribe but also by the Witch tribe.
It's just that, guided by fate, the unseen Houfeng has brought too much pressure to the three Emperors of the Immortal tribe.
Forcing them to plan to take action.
"The Witch tribe will speculate on the purpose of our war."
Emperor Dayan said, "Especially that old snake, Tengshe. He will probably protect Houfeng with all his might, just like he protected Zhujiu back then."
"The outcome of a momentary victory or defeat is not significant for the entire Witch tribe, especially for the Earth Tianwu lineage."
"If we directly charge to kill Houfeng?"
"The probability of failure exceeds eighty percent!" Emperor Dayan said, "Within the Earth Tianwu tribe, there are at least thirty or forty Upper Witches."
Emperor Leifu pondered.
Yes!
Compared to the Witch tribe, the number of top experts in the Immortal tribe was much smaller. The so-called emptiness of the Tianwu tribe of the Witch tribe was relative. In Tianzhu Mountain, the Immortal tribe had geographical advantage. But once they attacked the Earth Tianwu tribe? The situation would completely reverse.
"So what about this time?" Emperor Leifu couldn't help but ask.
"Second Brother, it's just a feint." Emperor Dayan smiled, "Since the beginning of the Immortal-Witch War, we have planted chess pieces in the Witch tribe, and they have planted chess pieces in our Immortal tribe... It will only be easier. Among the Earth Immortals gathered today, there are definitely Witch tribe chess pieces."
Emperor Leifu nodded involuntarily.
The Witch tribe was a unified race, currently holding the upper hand. There were still people who were not optimistic about the overall situation of the Witch tribe, secretly collaborating with the Immortal tribe. Coupled with some Witch tribe powerhouses controlled by Immortal souls in recent years.
The Immortal tribe, in fact, originated from thousands of races, with a more mixed composition, and was currently in a weak position. Even if they eventually won, how many tens of thousands of years would it take? A hundred thousand years? A million years?
Therefore, the probability of spies appearing in the Immortal tribe was higher than that in the Witch tribe.
Like the eight hundred Earth Immortals summoned today, two or three of them were colluding with the Witch tribe in secret, and they would pass on the information.
It was too normal.
"Once the news reaches the Witch tribe, they will have three guesses." Emperor Dayan smiled, "First, they will think we are just making a diversion and ignore us."
"Second, they will choose to believe this news and then a large number of Witch tribe powerhouses will gather at the Wood Tianwu tribe, setting up ambushes for us to break in."
"Third, they will take advantage of our Immortal tribe's vulnerability and attack Tianzhu Mountain, destroying the lower layers of the world, slowing down the birth rate of strong individuals in our Immortal tribe. After all, the higher our three cultivation levels with the fate divine weapons, the stronger our power."
Emperor Leifu couldn't help but nod, admiring Emperor Dayan's planning.
He had almost considered all possibilities.
"Third Brother, what should we do then?" Emperor Leifu couldn't help but ask again.
"That's fine, if they don't take the bait, you can lead the troops back, and we won't lose anything." Emperor Dayan smiled.
"Moreover, if we can feign an attack once, we can feign it multiple times."
"We're not worried about the Witch tribe not taking the bait."
...
And as expected by Emperor Dayan.
"The Immortal tribe plans to launch a surprise attack on the Wood Tianwu tribe tomorrow? Don't bother."
"If they have the guts, let the Immortal tribe come and attack."
"There's no need to attack Tianzhu Mountain either. Such secretive information, so easily leaked out, is probably a scheme by the Immortal tribe." The highest levels of the Witch tribe did indeed receive the news.
However, after discussions among the four major Tianwu tribes, the decision made by the highest levels of the Witch tribe was to ignore it!
You fight yours.
I'll fight mine.
For the Witch tribe, as long as they solidly hold onto the basic territory of their tribes, let the Immortal tribe be uncertain about where their main force is, and seize opportunities, constantly clash and wear each other down.
If the Immortal tribe really comes to attack the Wood Tianwu tribe?
"Then let's attack!"
"If they want to break through the Wood Tianwu tribe, unless the Immortal tribe throws everything they have at it, even if they succeed, we can kill a large number of Immortal tribe powerhouses, which is worth it." The highest levels of the Witch tribe were prepared to pay the price.
If a Tianwu tribe is breached, it's worth it to kill thirty or forty Upper Immortals from the Immortal tribe.
...
And so, year after year, the three Emperors of the Immortal tribe released messages to test, whether by feigned attacks on Tianwu tribes or by claiming to destroy Earth Witch tribes.
On the side of the Witch tribe.
They remained unchanged amidst the ever-changing situation, making no changes, seemingly allowing the Immortal tribe to attack as they pleased.
Until five years later.
For the seventh time, the Witch tribe received internal messages that the Immortal tribe was going to attack the "Huoning Tribe," the highest-level Witch tribe second only to the four major Tianwu tribes, with several Upper Witches guarding it.
This time!
The Immortal tribe meant business.
Emperor Leifu led three major Tianwu, thirty-two Upper Immortals, and nearly seven hundred Earth Immortals, with a thunderous momentum, and attacked the Huoning tribe.
The battle of the Huoning tribe was extremely fierce.
And the Witch tribe, which received the request for help from the Huoning tribe in the first place, also quickly gathered nearly a hundred Upper Witches on the front line of Tianzhu Mountain. Under the leadership of the three major Witch Gods, they directly attacked the first heaven of the Immortal realm.
Both sides erupted in two intense battles at the same time.
In the end, the Huoning tribe was destroyed, with three Upper Witches and dozens of Earth Witches perishing in the tribe. Only a few Earth Witches and tribesmen escaped.
As for the Immortal tribe, only a few Upper Immortal avatars were destroyed, and only one Upper Immortal and more than ten Earth Immortals truly died.
Inside Tianzhu Mountain.
The first heaven of the Immortal realm was completely destroyed by the Witch tribe's army, but the Immortal tribe had long been prepared and gathered a large number of elite cultivators, directly retreating to the fourth heaven, so the losses were relatively small.
Overall, the Witch tribe suffered losses in this battle.
Afterwards.
The Immortal tribe used the same tactics again, conducting several more probes, with each piece of news spread openly.
The Witch tribe, from initial vigilance to gradual relaxation.
Until the twelfth probe, Emperor Leifu once again led a large number of Tianwu, Upper Immortals, and attacked the Wood Tianwu tribe.
A historical first!
The Immortal tribe actually made it to the Witch tribe's Tianwu tribe, which was epoch-making.
It was a challenge to the entire Witch tribe.
In this battle, both sides fought fiercely!
As a result, the Witch tribe lost six Upper Witches, and the losses of Upper Witch avatars and Earth Witches were countless.
Meanwhile, the prepared Immortal tribe only lost two Upper Immortals.
There were also numerous Upper Immortal avatars lost.
In the battle of the Wood Tianwu tribe, although the Witch tribe could not be called defeated, it truly alerted the entire Witch tribe. They understood that continuing with their original battlefield strategy would only lead to greater losses.
Therefore, they made comprehensive adjustments to their war strategy against the Immortal tribe.
"Each major Tianwu tribe, further mobilize Earth Witches and Upper Witches."
"Gather more than two hundred Upper Witches to guard the frontline of Tianzhu Mountain. Once the main force of the Immortal tribe dares to move away from Tianzhu Mountain to attack the Tianwu tribe or other high-level Witch tribes, upon receiving the news, immediately attack Tianzhu Mountain." Orders were issued from the highest levels of the Witch tribe, including the Witch Gods and elders.
"The frontline army will be led by the Wine Offering Witch God."
"We don't aim to destroy the Immortal tribe, just to destroy a dozen heavens. That's enough." The Witch tribe's tactics were simple and crude, but extremely effective.
Two words—exchange blows!
Actively seeking out the Immortal tribe's main force? The world is vast and boundless, and they have artifacts to conceal their aura and means of communication, so it's extremely difficult to find them.
However, Tianzhu Mountain cannot escape.
"Even if a Tianwu tribe is breached, the Immortal tribe still won't be able to occupy the spiritual veins of the land. Ultimately, it will return to us."
"But, the foundation for the growth and expansion of the Immortal tribe is the thirty-three heavens. If we destroy the lower eighteen levels, rebuilding will take a long time, and the rate at which the Immortal tribe produces Immortals will decrease."
"In this way, we won't lose out at all." The highest levels of the four major Tianwu tribes of the Witch tribe were already prepared to bear any cost.
Bottom line fight!
It's a matter of who can hold out longer.
The fierce war between the two major forces continued to escalate unknowingly, accumulating hatred, edging towards another major decisive battle.
...
In the spring, as the earth revived and all things flourished, within the Earth Tianwu tribe, there was a scene of vitality.
The entire tribe was vast and divided into many regions.
Only tens of thousands of miles from the Tianwu Palace, there was a huge palace complex named Cloud Mountain Palace.
This was Wu Yuan's residence.
Although the Snake Ancestor and the Witch Gods had recognized Wu Yuan as the "Eighth Elder," the other seven peak Upper Witches were also aware.
However, to prevent the news from leaking out, this information was classified among nearly a hundred ordinary Upper Witches and thousands of Earth Witches in the tribe, and no one else knew.
Therefore, Wu Yuan's residence was ultimately chosen not far from the Tianwu Palace.
Here, if it were attacked, the group of Upper Witches around the Tianwu Palace could come to support immediately.
The Guardian Witch God also secretly guarded and resided in a seemingly inconspicuous temple thousands of miles away.
A thousand miles? For the level of the Witch Gods, it was almost like being close at hand.
Even the Snake Ancestor had left his original lake and come to a place not far from the Cloud Mountain Palace, deep in the earth, to guard against an attack on Wu Yuan by the Immortal tribe.
It could be said that the highest levels of the Earth Tianwu tribe had gone to great lengths to protect Wu Yuan.
In the palace complex, there was a huge lake, and on the grassy land beside the lake.
"Later Quan, you've almost mastered this move," Wu Yuan lay leisurely on the grass, watching the sturdy young man practicing his swordsmanship not far away.
The swordsmanship was continuous, the sword light tearing through the sky, yet it did not cause much disturbance, giving off a heavy earthy scent.
After a while.
"Just a little bit more. I understand your guidance, but when it comes down to it, I just miss it by a hair," the sturdy young man slowly sheathed his sword.
He came to Wu Yuan's side, grabbed the wine jug, and started drinking.
"Your bloodline power has reached its peak. What's left is relying on yourself. Ponder more, think more, practice more," Wu Yuan said with a faint smile. "Practice the sword a thousand times, and the rules will manifest themselves."
This sturdy young man.
It was Hòuquán from the Hòu Family tribe, also the first Tianwu bloodline holder Wu Yuan encountered when he first descended to the earth.
Decades ago, when Wu Yuan first heard the news of the destruction of the Hòu Family tribe, he thought Hòuquán, Hòu Míng, Hòu Snake Witch, and the Hòu Earth Witch had all perished.
It wasn't until forty years ago.
In the Tianwu tribe, Wu Yuan accidentally saw Hòuquán, who had become a Witch General, and only then did he learn that when the tribe was destroyed, Hòuquán had just left the tribe and went on to perform new tasks, thus avoiding the disaster.
Later on, he was brought back to the Tianwu tribe by the Upper Witches who hurried to rescue him.
After meeting Hòuquán, out of a sense of compensation, Wu Yuan gave him guidance several times, and over time, the two formed a deep friendship.
"Yeah."
"I have to work harder," Hòuquán nodded and said, "even if I can't catch up to Hòufēng, I still have to work hard to become an Earth Witch."
"Only as an Earth Witch will I be qualified to participate in the battle at Tianzhu Mountain." Hòuquán's eyes gleamed with hatred.
Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.
He had confessed to Hòuquán before, telling him that it was because of him that the Hòu Family tribe had suffered a disaster.
But Hòuquán didn't blame Wu Yuan. He even felt grateful for Wu Yuan's guidance.
His hatred was only directed towards the Immortal tribe.
Hòuquán once said, "Why should I hate you? You haven't done anything wrong. It's the Immortal tribe that's at fault. If the Immortal tribe wanted to destroy my Witch tribe, even without you, my Hòu Family tribe would sooner or later encounter a catastrophe."
This temperament also made Wu Yuan quite emotional.
"Hòufēng, I heard that in Tianzhu Mountain, another Earth Witch from a tribe has perished," Hòuquán suddenly said.
"Yeah, I heard about it," Wu Yuan nodded.
Under normal circumstances, whether Upper Witches or Earth Witches, it was very difficult for them to perish. Most of them fought using their avatars, and their true bodies could completely hide away.
However.
For the past eighty years, the Witch tribe and the Immortal tribe had been fighting too crazily.
Coupled with the imperfect cultivation system in this world, the strength of the avatars and true bodies were relatively weak, so many of them personally engaged in battles.
Life and death struggles naturally resulted in many fallen strong warriors.
The status of Earth Witches had become quite high.
After all, the total number of Earth Witches in the entire Witch tribe, including the four major Tianwu tribes and many high-level Witch tribes, had never exceeded ten thousand. Even in the Hòu Family tribe, there were only over a thousand.
"It's been eighty years since I descended to this world."
"I'm a hundred and seventy years old, and I've been in the Sanctum for fifty years. Although I don't have divine crystal source liquid, with the help of the special environment provided by the Tianwu tribe, ten years ago, I was able to cultivate to the ninth level of the Sanctum." Wu Yuan lay leisurely on the grass, feeling the gentle breeze.
It was quite pleasant.
Although the cultivation environment of the Tianwu tribe was not as good as divine crystal source liquid, it was still quite remarkable, as if the resources provided by the Snake Ancestor were free.
It allowed Wu Yuan to reach the ninth level of the Sanctum in just a few decades.
"It's just a pity."
"The laws of life are still trapped at the limit of the ninth level of the realm." Wu Yuan muttered to himself.
Without the assistance of the Tianwu Palace and the Tianwu Source, Wu Yuan's deduction speed of the laws of life slowed down all at once.
However, fifty years ago, he still managed to step into the ninth level of the realm step by step, and then spent several decades reaching the peak of the ninth level of the realm.
In the last thirty years.
Wu Yuan continuously accumulated and tried to condense the true meaning of life. He had already vaguely glimpsed the embryonic form of the true meaning of life, and a large amount of insight into the Tao was only a step away from condensation.
But at this critical moment, it was like a huge chasm.
No matter what, he couldn't cross it. Wu Yuan was trapped at this bottleneck of the ninth level of the realm.
Regarding this, Wu Yuan was helpless.
"This is enlightenment. Sometimes, breakthroughs happen unknowingly."
"Sometimes, it's hard to break through for thousands or even tens of thousands of years... But I estimate that it won't be more than fifty years before I can break through." Wu Yuan wasn't in a hurry.
Once mastered, the true meaning of life could rival a complete lower-level law, and its power was extraordinary, making it difficult to break through.
Ninety-nine percent of the upper immortals couldn't step into this realm even after practicing for millions of years.
Wu Yuan was quite satisfied.
Even if he broke through in another fifty years, he would only be two hundred and twenty years old and could challenge the one hundredth floor of the Second Star Tower.
It wasn't too late.
"Moreover."
"In these decades, the progress of my physical avatar seems not insignificant. I don't know what experiences it went through, but it has actually condensed the true meaning of Qiankun, greatly enhancing my lifesaving abilities." Wu Yuan, the physical avatar, sighed inwardly.
The way of Qiankun couldn't overlap and erupt with the laws of life.
But they each had their uses.
"Take it slow. My physical avatar's divine consciousness has also unknowingly transformed to the divine consciousness level, enough to rival many Earth Witches and Earth Immortals."
In terms of divine consciousness, the physical avatar was far from as heaven-defying as the qi refining avatar.
But after Wu Yuan entered the Sanctum realm, he unknowingly crossed the limit of divine consciousness.
Now, with just a thought, Wu Yuan's divine consciousness could sense a radius of nearly two million miles.
Among Earth Immortals and Earth Witches, this was considered quite good. This speed of transformation of divine consciousness could be called terrifying.
"Next, my magical power cultivation can only stay at the ninth level of the Sanctum. I'll focus on enlightenment and at the same time, strive to cultivate this Tianji Source Technique, 'Heavenly Rupture,' to a profound level." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
As a second-class foundation, after stepping into the Sanctum realm, if one's strength was strong enough, they could completely cultivate another Tianji Source Technique.
What Wu Yuan ultimately chose was the Tianji Source Technique, "Heavenly Rupture," which was based on the mid-level laws of Qiankun and Zhenyu.
This was a terrifying source technique that combined physical skills and attacks.
Of course, as a Tianji Source Technique, to cultivate "Heavenly Rupture" to perfection, one must comprehend the laws of space.
Any Tianji Source Technique had complete Dao patterns with upper-level laws at its core.
For example, "Great Witch God Body" was based on the laws of life.
So, Wu Yuan found it most handy to cultivate.
However, in Wu Yuan's inherited memories, there was no "physical-type" Tianji Source Technique based on the laws of life.
The highest was only a high-level Source Technique.
"Different upper-level laws have their own strengths. No one is a master of everything." Wu Yuan thought to himself, "This 'Heavenly Rupture,' I might find it hard to cultivate to perfection, but as long as I achieve some success, it will be of great benefit."
To cultivate a Tianji Source Technique to perfection?
