"The Star Sovereign?" The muscular young man's expression remained unchanged.
"Also, I have brought another piece of news: you have gained another opponent in the Universal Pathway." The figure in white robes pointed into the void.
Whoosh~
The light converged into a projection, showing scenes of Wu Yuan slaughtering in the Snow Light Mist Realm... The muscular young man watched calmly.
"He's named Mingjian."
"In the realm of time and space, he erupted with the strength of a Star Sovereign... His understanding of the Dao should be at the intermediate level of a Star Sovereign, and he seems to be comprehending the Great Dao of Time and Space." The figure in white robes said.
"Intermediate level of a Star Sovereign? Even if he comprehends the Great Dao of Time and Space, he is still far from my match." The muscular young man frowned. "With such strength, he should have practiced some heaven-defying secret technique, a forbidden technique?"
His insight was extremely high, directly speculating on many things.
"It should be a forbidden technique, or some equally powerful explosive secret technique." The figure in white robes said. "But what is most eye-catching about him is his cultivation time."
"He has only cultivated for a little over two thousand years," the figure in white robes said.
"Two thousand years?" The muscular young man, who had originally paid little attention, suddenly emitted a cold light from his eyes, staring sharply at the figure in the projection.
"Mingjian?"
...
The river of time and space is vast and wide, with countless realms separated by immense distances, like solitary islands in the ocean.
In the ocean, there are always some chaotic places.
Similarly, there are some very special areas within the river of time and space.
For example—the Abyss!
It is the source of destruction, giving birth to the most evil and insane creatures of the entire Abyss—demons!
The Abyss is not located in the normal material spatial layer but at the 'end' of this river of time and space.
Through the Abyss, one can quickly reach various places in the river of time and space, even penetrate into different realms.
Occasionally.
When the Abyss connects with a certain realm, it triggers a terrifying battle that shocks countless immortals and gods.
Moreover, many realms have collapsed and perished as a result, and countless creatures have become food for demons.
In the depths of the Abyss.
In extremely harsh terrain, there is actually an incredibly beautiful world, where countless demons live normal lives.
Moreover, many demon bugs appear.
In the world, there is a crystal-clear figure walking without a trace, his body seems to be carefully crafted, flawless.
Like a piece of art that is beautiful to the extreme.
"The Universal Pathway has opened."
"It is indeed a time of great competition." The crystal man murmured to himself. "To have such strength after only a little over two thousand years of cultivation, he is indeed one of the most outstanding geniuses."
"This one named Mingjian should be considered one of the highest talents."
"Unfortunately, he was born too late, with less than twenty thousand years left, and the chance to obtain the title of Saint is very slim."
"Hmm."
"On my threat list, he is temporarily ranked ninth." The crystal man muttered to himself, overlooking the countless demons below who seemed harmless: "Saint title!"
"This time in the Universal Pathway, I must do my best to obtain the title of Saint."
...
In a short time, all the superpowers in the river of time and space had taken note of the name 'Mingjian' and made special annotations.
With such strength, it seems like there is still a long way to go to compete for the title of Saint.
But his short cultivation time represents astonishing potential.
What level will he reach after tens of thousands of years of cultivation? No one can say for sure; the future holds infinite possibilities.
Naturally, he is being vigilantly watched.
As time passed.
News of Wu Yuan's battle spread to even more distant and mysterious areas.
"In the Lingjiang Universe, a peerless genius named Mingjian has emerged?"
"In terms of talent, he should be ranked in the top three or even the first in the Lingjiang Universe, but his strength is still slightly weaker."
"In the Universal Pathway, there are countless geniuses, and Mingjian is just one of them."
...
The disturbances in the outside world, even the great commotion caused by his own battle, although Wu Yuan had some guesses.
And he was somewhat affected.
But Wu Yuan didn't care at all. He just followed the plan, first trading with the Wanlang Palace and obtaining a superior Dao artifact of the soul class.
Then.
He waited for the treasures worth over eighty billion divine crystals sent by the Spacetime Palace.
In the palace of the Spacetime Island.
"Golden River, the name is a bit strange." Wu Yuan sat cross-legged on the jade platform, sensing his upper dantian.
The twelvefold primordial spirits gathered.
There was a faint layer of golden light on the bodies of these primordial spirits, but upon closer inspection, it was not golden light, but countless tiny water droplets, flowing like a river.
It was the superior Dao artifact 'Golden River' that Wu Yuan had just obtained.
"Golden River, although the name is strange, its power is indeed remarkable." Wu Yuan pondered silently.
He had just refined it, and with his understanding of the Dao and his spiritual power, he still couldn't perfectly control it.
Usually, only peak Star Sovereigns have the hope of perfectly activating a superior Dao artifact, truly revealing its power.
"Golden River is more adept at resisting illusions and attacks from spiritual artifacts." Wu Yuan slowly familiarized himself with it. "Compared to that, the Nine Star Lotus Platform is more comprehensive, especially good at resisting direct spiritual annihilation."
Spiritual attacks come in various forms.
For example, illusion interference, spiritual annihilation, and so on, so different spiritual artifacts are mostly adept in different directions.
"In terms of value alone, the Nine Star Lotus Platform should be higher." Wu Yuan thought to himself, "But Golden River is not bad either, and Dao Yuan is the true realm law. Mo Lang Sovereign did not intentionally choose a spiritual weapon that is very incompatible with my Dao."
The more compatible the spiritual artifact is with the Dao Yuan, the greater its power when used.
"That's good."
"Solving this cause and effect." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
Although he was very unhappy with Mo Lang Sovereign's actions.
Even if he didn't have enough strength, under the continuous attacks of Mo Lang Sovereign, Wu Yuan would have fallen long ago.
However.
Reconciliation is the best choice for the current Wu Yuan.
"Obtained a powerful spiritual artifact and reduced the number of major enemies by one, which can be considered a benefit." Wu Yuan thought to himself. "On the path of cultivation, there are always times to compromise."
And a treasure like Golden River needs to be nurtured slowly.
... "Next, I need to push the nine personal flying swords to the level of superior immortal artifacts."
"It will take thousands of years."
"The Primordial Avatar will stay on the Spacetime Island, practicing with the personal flying swords while accepting the spacetime inheritance." Wu Yuan planned his cultivation route.
There are about sixteen thousand years left until the Universal Pathway opens.
It may seem like a long time, but Wu Yuan is clear that if he wants to compete for great opportunities and even seize the ultimate 'Saint Title,' he must strive.
Give it his all.
There can be no slack.
"Now that I have comprehended the Great Dao, even if my understanding of the Dao reaches a very high level in the future, I may still be trapped at the level of a Star Sovereign." Wu Yuan thought to himself. "If I want to smoothly become a Sovereign, a Master, and even break free from the cycle of reincarnation."
"The Universal Pathway journey is crucial." Wu Yuan's primordial avatar has read a lot of information.
Throughout history.
There have been many outstanding geniuses rising in the Universal Pathway, and every time the Universal Pathway opens, there will be a large number of Sovereign strongmen emerging, and even many Masters being born.
This is a grand event in the world.
The great opportunities contained within it may even surpass what a True Saint can bestow.
"Waiting for it is lucky."
"Being born in this era is also fortunate. If I want to do something, I will become the strongest." Wu Yuan had endless desires in his heart.
Family? He has made arrangements and can be said to have no worries.
Now, what he truly desires in his heart is to reach the pinnacle of cultivation and even become the supreme existence.
Ambition is the driving force.
"The personal flying sword." Wu Yuan slowly cultivates according to the method taught.
The cultivation method of the personal flying sword is not considered too much of a secret.
If one follows a certain level of cultivation, the cost is not too great, but there is always a potential limit.
"To evolve along the most perfect path, the ultimate goal is to reach the Sovereign realm, transforming it into a superior-grade Dao treasure." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
A superior-grade Dao treasure as a personal artifact surpasses the power of normal superior-grade Dao treasures.
If unsuccessful?
For example, for a strong individual trapped at the peak of the Star Sovereign level, if they previously followed the most perfect evolution path.
The cost paid would be substantial!
Therefore, unless like Wu Yuan, one truly reveals terrifying potential, ordinary geniuses would find it difficult to convince Sovereigns to pay such a high price.
Geniuses like Jiang Huan and Nie Zhen mostly cultivate their personal artifacts according to the top-tier evolution path.
Even geniuses like the Star Sovereign of Ghost Intent and the Sword Immortal of Dongyang, who are slightly below the strongest geniuses, find it difficult to convince Sovereigns.
...
The Primordial Avatar is cultivating in seclusion on the Spacetime Island.
While Wu Yuan's Law Body, after a short period of time, embarked on the journey to execute the 'spacetime tasks'.
"The previous Daoist-level tasks exceeded the time limit and were unsuccessful."
"Having spent over a thousand years in the Black Demon Blood Cave, wasting a lot of time, I can't afford to waste any more time."
"For each subsequent millennium task period, I must complete one Daoist-level task, ten Sovereign-level tasks, and accumulate two thousand spacetime points." Wu Yuan set goals for himself.
In this way, in ten thousand years, he can accumulate twenty thousand spacetime points.
"During each millennium task period, after completing all the tasks, the Law Body will go to the battlefield of the Daoist to fight."
"Seclusion!"
...
In the Qingling Great Boundary.
"The cultivation environment of the Law Body is better than that of the Law Avatar." Wu Yuan's Law Avatar still resides in the Xia Mountains.
"However, the progress of cultivation may still be much slower." Wu Yuan smiled. "Analyzing the essence of all things and spirits, this is indeed the right path."
In these thousands of years.
The Law Avatar has always followed this path, allowing him to understand the basic units of life at an increasingly faster pace.
The Dao imprints, combined with the life Dao body, are indeed suitable for this path.
"No rush."
"For the Law Avatar, even more Sovereign legacies or special cultivation environments would not be of much help." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly because the speed of cultivation had reached a certain limit.
It's like the lifespan of ordinary mortals.
Once it reaches a certain limit, nothing external can change it.
...
Time passes, year after year.
Wu Yuan's two major avatars are each cultivating and making progress.
The 'spacetime tasks' issued by the Spacetime Island are basically not difficult for Wu Yuan.
Firstly, his cultivation years are brief, so according to the rules, difficult tasks won't be assigned.
Secondly, his strength is too overwhelming.
Therefore, he mostly completes tasks effortlessly, and even if he occasionally encounters one or two Star Lords, he can easily handle them.
He contemplates various Daoist relics, which also happens quite leisurely.
In reality, the nine major forces of the Dao Realm have always been paying close attention to him. At first, various forces were unaware, but with time passing, they all became aware of his contemplation of Daoist battle relics.
So, Wu Yuan's Law Avatar is like a big light bulb, known to all the forces in the Dao Realm.
Moreover, with the precedent set by Wanlang Palace, no force in the Dao Realm is willing to target Wu Yuan anymore; they all let him pass without any hindrance.
"Ming Jian is too monstrous."
"Don't provoke him."
"He's highly likely to become a Sovereign and even more likely to become a disciple of a Daoist Master. Why bother?" This is basically the consensus of the high-levels of various forces in the Dao Realm.
Therefore, after the battle in the Snow Light Mist Realm, the entire Dao Realm has almost become Wu Yuan's backyard.
Let him come and go as he pleases.
The Primordial Avatar is also constantly soaring in strength through each 'spacetime inheritance'.
...
The Law Avatar resides in the Xia Mountains for a long time, and in addition to cultivation, also provides guidance to the strong of the Xia Mountain lineage.
Like his sister Wu Yijun, who, in the past hundred years, has broken through to become a powerful practitioner of the Refinement Realm and is now a Refinement Realm Ninth Layer cultivator.
However, Fang Xia has grown even faster. His character was already extremely tough and strong, and after experiencing the tribulations of the Thousand Serpents Star Lord's inheritance, he has undergone further tempering and transformation.
With the guidance and help of Wu Yuan, his progress is extraordinary!
...
Nearly two thousand years after the battle in the Snow Light Mist Realm.
Wu Yuan officially appeared in the 'First Primordial Shaman Realm' and participated in the long-awaited Heaven and Earth Showdown.
In this battle, he revealed less than a tenth of his strength and smoothly became a member of the Earth Tier, only to be 'easily' defeated by Jiang Huan in the end.
Even though he only revealed a tiny portion of his strength, which was only at the level of Heavenly Immortal, it still caused a sensation across the Shaman Realm.
The entire Shaman Realm was abuzz.
"Cultivating for thousands of years to become a member of the First Primordial Shaman Realm's Earth Tier?"
"Too amazing."
"Wu Yuan!"
"In another few hundred thousand years of cultivation, he is destined to become a member of the Heavenly Tier."
"Even compared to Jiang Huan, who was the same age, he's superior." Countless strong individuals of the Shaman Realm discussed, praising Wu Yuan's talent.
In response, the very few who truly understood Wu Yuan's strength didn't pay much attention; they all knew that if Wu Yuan wanted to claim the title of the First Primordial Shaman Realm's Heavenly Tier member, it would be an easy task.
Especially the 'Kuachi Sovereign,' who knows about Ming Jian's deeds, understands even more clearly that Wu Yuan's goal is the Spacetime Road, where he will contend with the extraordinary geniuses of the entire universe.
Compared to those so-called 'geniuses' of the First Primordial Shaman Realm, they are not even on the same level.
Moreover.
"Wu Yuan Junior Brother, you don't even need to let me. Your strength has long surpassed mine." Jiang Huan felt quite helpless.
As senior brothers, they occasionally sparred.
Although Wu Yuan didn't reveal too much of his strength, the part he did reveal was enough to defeat Jiang Huan.
Jiang Huan knows it very well.
Wu Yuan is already a genius of a different level from him, and the gap in strength between them will only widen further.
"Senior Brother, this is Master's request." Wu Yuan smiled. "Now, many people are eyeing me... The Thunder Feather Divine Hall is paying close attention to me."
"Instead of letting them worry and speculate."
"I might as well proactively reveal a portion of my strength to put their minds at ease." Wu Yuan smiled.
Although Wu Yuan's revealed talent is slightly higher than Jiang Huan's, it's still considerably inferior to the level of the Ghost Intent Star Lord.
"Well."
"That works too." Jiang Huan chuckled. "In the future, when Junior Brother grows up and becomes renowned across the realms, I can boast that I've defeated you many times."
Wu Yuan chuckled.
In his early years, Jiang Huan had guided his cultivation.
Over the years, their relationship had grown quite good, making Jiang Huan one of his closest senior brothers.
Among the disciples of the Kuachi Sovereign, most Star Lords and Star Sovereigns gradually became aware of Wu Yuan's identity, intending to make friends, but deep connections were hard to come by.
This was the norm.
...
Before the battle in the Snow Light Mist Realm, Wu Yuan had only cultivated for over two thousand years.
After that, the overall cultivation environment improved, and many aspects of his own foundation, primordial spirit, etc., also improved.
Wu Yuan's progress was steady, neither fast nor slow.
Over four thousand years passed.
Wu Yuan reached the age of seven thousand and his Body Refinement Avatar was the first to break through on the Dao of Natural Creation.
"The Seventh Tier of Natural Creation Essence." Wu Yuan sighed with emotion.
Comprehending the Dao was extremely difficult; even the Thunderclap Star Lord had cultivated for billions of years and, despite his good talent, was still stuck at the Ninth Tier of Natural Creation Essence.
The difficulty can be imagined.
"Analyzing the essence of all living things, out of the 5.5 million basic life units, I've analyzed over two million." Wu Yuan's Body Refinement Avatar's eyes gleamed.
This unique path made Wu Yuan's progress terrifyingly fast.
Normally, breaking through from the Sixth to the Seventh Tier of Natural Creation Essence was considered a bottleneck, and once broken through, it would be equivalent to the perception level of a peak Star Lord.
But this checkpoint only trapped Wu Yuan's Body Refinement Avatar for hundreds of years.
"In terms of understanding the Dao, my Body Refinement Avatar is now considered to have reached the peak level of a Star Lord." Wu Yuan smiled. "Next, it's time to push through to the Ninth Tier of Essence in one go."
Beyond that lies the realm of the Great Dao, which would be comparable to the perception of a Sovereign.
"However, compared to the Body Refinement Avatar, the progress of my Qi Refinement Avatar is indeed slower." Wu Yuan couldn't help feeling emotional.
The Qi Refinement Avatar's progress was also fast, with spacetime inheritances, Daoist battle relics, and many other teachings... but it was slower than the Body Refinement Avatar.
Stuck at the Sixth Tier of Spacetime Essence.
Time flies.
Over three thousand years passed, and Wu Yuan's age unknowingly reached the milestone of ten thousand years.
Long years of cultivation made Wu Yuan's Dao heart and will increasingly strong.
His two major avatars also continued to break through, becoming Five-Tribulation Immortals and Five-Tribulation Gods in succession.
And the extreme foundation made both avatars capable of erupting with any secret technique, their basics already comparable to Heavenly Immortals.
Until now.
Wu Yuan's Qi Refinement Avatar finally broke through the bottleneck of the spacetime avenue, stepping into the Seventh Tier of Spacetime Essence.
However.
The Body Refinement Avatar, comprehending the Dao of Natural Creation, was not far from the Eighth Tier of Essence, with its perception of the Dao steadily approaching the peak level of a Star Lord.
Compared to the Thunderclap Star Lord back in the day, they were already very close.
...
On the Time-Space Island, inside the palace.
"Phew!"
Wu Yuan sat cross-legged, and the flow of time around him was changing rapidly, as if the entire spacetime were trembling and swaying.
His figure was becoming increasingly blurry, even showing signs of completely disappearing without a trace.
"Master," Xingyue stood at a distance, watching. In her eyes, besides awe, there was nothing else.
Over thousands of years, Wu Yuan's rate of progress had left her speechless, making it impossible for her to comprehend, attributing it only to his talent.
During these thousands of years, Wu Yuan's Law Avatar had traveled throughout the Dao Realm, continuously completing spacetime tasks, occasionally making a name for himself with his actions.
Even recently, in a perilous situation in the Dao Realm, Wu Yuan's Law Avatar encountered a Star Sovereign.
Since the Star Sovereign did not recognize Wu Yuan, both sides fought fiercely over the treasure.
In the chaotic battle, Wu Yuan showed exceptional ferocity, overpowering the Qi Refinement Star Sovereign and seizing the treasure before fleeing.
This battle once again spread throughout the entire Dao Realm.
Over seven thousand years had passed, and Wu Yuan's Qi Refinement Avatar had become even more powerful.
Even when facing a genuine Star Sovereign, he could still gain the upper hand.
"Finally reached the level of the Spatial Dao Domain." Wu Yuan's mind moved, and the fluctuations in spacetime around him quickly dissipated.
Peace was restored.
The spacetime avenue integrated the two superior laws of time and space, complementing each other's deficiencies, making it flawless and incredibly powerful.
To integrate the spacetime avenue, one must first separately comprehend the laws of time and space.
After ten thousand years of cultivation, Wu Yuan finally pushed the law of space to the domain level.
"Back then, the Monarch of Mist and Flame said that it would take ten thousand to thirty thousand years to reach the domain level by solely comprehending the law of space. The difference in time is negligible." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
Although it was because he spent a lot of energy comprehending the law of time himself, it also showed the Monarch's precise judgment.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan suddenly paused. "Haiyue, coming to visit me?"
He received a message from outside the hall.
Zhuo Haiyue, his main body, had come to visit him.
"My main body is here? Is there something important?" Wu Yuan felt slightly puzzled but didn't hesitate. With a thought, he released the restrictions outside the hall.
Soon.
Whoosh!
A figure in silver armor flew into the hall. Over seven thousand years had passed, and Zhuo Haiyue's demeanor remained unchanged, even more graceful.
Comprehending the laws of thunder had made her aura even more fierce.
"Haiyue." Wu Yuan stood up to greet her.
"Mingjian, I suddenly came over and disturbed your cultivation." Zhuo Haiyue smiled.
"We don't need to talk about these things between us. Sit." Wu Yuan waved his hand, and a large amount of immortal food appeared on the table.
The two of them sat down.
Over the past thousands of years, Wu Yuan and Zhuo Haiyue had joined forces many times, mostly at Zhuo Haiyue's invitation, to complete spacetime tasks together.
This had deepened their friendship.
It could be said that during Wu Yuan's ten thousand years of cultivation, he didn't have many close friends for his Qi Refinement Avatar, but Zhuo Haiyue was one.
Even though Wu Yuan's strength was now formidable, Zhuo Haiyue, sitting beside him, was not much inferior.
"What's the matter with this visit? Are we going to carry out a spacetime task again?" Wu Yuan asked with some confusion.
"No!"
Zhuo Haiyue smiled faintly. "I'm preparing to leave the Spacetime Island, so I came specifically to bid you farewell."
"Leave the Spacetime Island?"
"So soon? It's not even ten thousand years since we arrived at the Spacetime Island." Wu Yuan was puzzled, furrowing his brows. "Don't you want to try the Dao Lord inheritance?"
Zhuo Haiyue was powerful, and she almost perfectly completed every spacetime task cycle.
Therefore, she was already a mark bearer of the Dao Lord. In theory, she could try to accept the inheritance in at most another ten thousand years.
"I have no possibility!"
"This is the spacetime realm, where time is paramount. You comprehend the spacetime avenue, which offers great hope." Zhuo Haiyue smiled. "Although I also strive to comprehend the law of space, I am still far behind you."
"Continuing to stay on the Spacetime Island is of little use."
"With the opening of the Universal Path not far away, I need to find my own path to have a glimmer of hope." Zhuo Haiyue said.
Wu Yuan listened quietly.
For over seven thousand years, as the time approached, news about the Universal Path had already spread. Like countless mark bearers on the Spacetime Island, they were already aware.
Various superpowers in the river of spacetime had already deduced the approximate time, leaving less than nine thousand years.
It could be said that such a once-in-billions-of-years universal event was highly anticipated.
Zhuo Haiyue's choice to leave at this moment was also normal.
Wu Yuan was well aware.
In terms of true strength, even if Zhuo Haiyue was weaker than his Qi Refinement Avatar, it was probably not by much.
Although it was still unclear what Zhuo Haiyue was specifically involved in, with her strength, as long as there was an opportunity, she would surely choose to participate in the Universal Path.
"Alright then."
"Our cultivation journey is always on the road. Without crossing the Ninth Immortal Tribulation, we can't rest for a moment." Wu Yuan smiled. "Today, let this be my practice. We'll meet again when the Universal Path opens."
"Okay." Zhuo Haiyue nodded with a smile.
They raised their cups.
They drank together until they were empty.
"Before I leave, I came to give you a gift." Zhuo Haiyue suddenly turned her palm.
In the palm of her hand was a crystal-clear sphere shimmering with lightning, even though its aura was restrained, it was enough to make Immortals and Deities change color.
"This?" With Wu Yuan's current strength and insight, he recognized it at a glance.
"A Dao Artifact!"
Wu Yuan immediately recognized it and looked at Zhuo Haiyue in surprise. "Is it a high-grade Dao Artifact or a top-grade Dao Artifact?"
In his intuition, Wu Yuan felt that this lightning sphere was even more powerful than the Golden River and the Nine Star Lotus Platform he possessed.
"It's impossible to hide from your perception. I've tried my best to suppress its aura." Zhuo Haiyue smiled helplessly, then her expression became solemn. "It's a top-grade Dao Artifact called 'Thunderous Pearl'!"
"Is it really a top-grade Dao Artifact?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but look at Zhuo Haiyue, quite shocked.
Top-grade Dao Artifacts were extremely precious.
The vast majority of pinnacle Star Sovereigns did not possess artifacts of this level.
Even mighty figures like the Monarch of Ten Thousand Thunders only had one 'Hundred Stars Blade'.
It could be said that such precious treasures were not easily obtained.
Most of them had their own origins.
And if ordinary powerhouses obtained such treasures, they would often hide them away and not easily reveal them.
Once the news leaked out.
It would attract coveting from powerful Star Sovereigns or even Sovereigns, which was quite normal.
How could someone like Zhuo Haiyue take it out so openly?
"Well, it's for you." Zhuo Haiyue smiled.
"Gift it to me?"
Wu Yuan couldn't believe it, furrowing his brows. "Why? Although we are good friends, it's not to the point of exchanging such treasures."
Even between Sovereigns, it wasn't done.
"I trust you." Zhuo Haiyue looked at Wu Yuan, her gaze incredibly clear. "You should be able to guess... my situation is very special."
Wu Yuan nodded gently.
The progress speed of his Qi Refinement Avatar shook the river of time.
Zhuo Haiyue's progress was not slow at all. One could imagine how special it was.
"I have no choice."
"This treasure can be considered a karma." Zhuo Haiyue said softly. "Among those I've encountered, you have the highest talent potential and the most hope of helping me in the future."
"In the Divine Court, there are Dominators, and even the highest beings." Wu Yuan shook his head. "Even if I become a Dominator, it will probably take a long time."
"The strong in the Divine Court headquarters are willing to help me, but they can't." Zhuo Haiyue shook her head. "Only those who haven't crossed the Tribulation, who haven't left marks in the origin of the Heaven and Earth Dao... have a chance to help me."
Wu Yuan pondered.
In Zhuo Haiyue's seemingly calm voice, he felt a strong sense of despair.
But she was so calm.
"I won't hide it from you, helping me in the future may bring you great trouble." Zhuo Haiyue said solemnly. "This trouble may even exceed the value of the Thunderous Pearl."
She was honest about everything and didn't hide anything from Wu Yuan.
"Trouble?"
"If the path you choose ultimately fails, what will you do?" Wu Yuan asked.
Zhuo Haiyue smiled faintly.
Wu Yuan already understood.
For a moment, the hall fell silent, and Zhuo Haiyue waited for Wu Yuan's final decision.
Wu Yuan was contemplating.
After a long time.
"I'll help you." Wu Yuan uttered three words. "But you have to tell me the reason so I can help you better."
"I can't say. There are some things I can't put into words." Zhuo Haiyue shook her head. "But do you remember what I said back then?"
"Back then?"
Wu Yuan was momentarily stunned, then he remembered and couldn't help but say, "Remember you?"
"Yes!" Zhuo Haiyue nodded heavily. A hint of determination flashed in her always calm eyes. "Remembering me is the greatest help you can give me."
"Remember me, don't forget me."
"Mingjian, now you're the only one with the ability to make me believe." Zhuo Haiyue waved her hand, and the Thunderous Pearl, shimmering with lightning, flew directly in front of Wu Yuan.
"I'm leaving now."
...After bidding farewell to Wu Yuan, Zhuo Haiyue indeed left the Spacetime Island.
She left silently.
Even in the Taiyuan Divine Court, it didn't cause much of a stir.
It was as if there was an invisible force that made countless mark bearers on the Spacetime Island unconsciously forget her existence and overlook her.
Other mark bearers might not have noticed, but Wu Yuan, who was already on guard, keenly sensed this.
"Remember you?"
"Haiyue, what trouble have you encountered? Could it be that in the future, a terrifying force will erase your traces in these years?" Wu Yuan pondered silently.
He remembered what the Creationist said back in the Immortal Land.
"The True Saints of Immortality cultivate us descendants for the same reason – to make us remember?" Wu Yuan muttered to himself.
"Remembering is very important."
Although Wu Yuan's strength was formidable, even at full power, he wasn't considered weak among Sovereigns.
But when it came to Sovereigns, Dominators, and even the legendary highest beings, he still knew too little.
Moreover!
When it came to involving the highest beings, Wu Yuan didn't dare to rashly ask figures like Kuachi Shizun.
"Asking might bring about karma, causing entanglements."
"Even if I ask, they might not know or be able to help." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "Even the strong in the Divine Court headquarters seem unable to help Zhuo Haiyue, let alone Kuachi Shizun?"
Wu Yuan was willing to help Zhuo Haiyue.
Firstly, it was the accumulation of thousands of years of friendship. She had helped Wu Yuan a lot in his early years, especially Zhuo Haiyue's life-saving grace, which had always been remembered by Wu Yuan.
Secondly, Wu Yuan also had his own plans.
"Interwoven fate."
"Zhuo Haiyue's involvement with the highest beings, and my involvement with the Ancestral Tower... helping her, even if it brings trouble, that's a future matter." Wu Yuan thought to himself. "In the future, this kind of invisible relationship between me and the Ancestral Tower may not be without its benefits."
Future matters were difficult to predict.
"Moreover."
"The Thunderous Pearl, a top-grade Dao Artifact, shouldn't be left unused." Wu Yuan looked down at the pearl shimmering with lightning in his hand.
He had already begun to refine it.
Containing the complete Law of Thunder, its power was vast and unpredictable. Once fully unleashed, its power would be boundless.
It was a pity.
Although Wu Yuan had partially comprehended the Law of Thunder while comprehending the Law of Death, he hadn't even reached the level of a Heavenly Immortal, so he could only unleash a very small part of its power.
"Even if I don't use it, exchanging it for other treasures would be great." Wu Yuan smiled. "Moreover, through this Thunderous Pearl, I may gain some insights into the Law of Thunder."
Like a lower-grade Dao Artifact, its power was equivalent to that of a top-grade Immortal Artifact, but why was its value much higher?
It was because it contained the complete Dao Source, which could assist cultivators in enlightenment.
...
Outside the spacetime Dao Realm, in the vast void.
A warship was speeding forward.
Inside one of the cabins, Zhuo Haiyue was sitting cross-legged, and suddenly, a strange fluctuation appeared on her body.
"Hoo!"
"Haiyue, you nearly suffocated me this time. What did you do to seal me off for so long?" A young voice suddenly resounded in her mind.
The next moment.
"Huh? Haiyue! Where's the Thunderous Pearl? Where did it go?" The young voice carried a hint of panic. "That's a treasure of inheritance. Why can't I sense the aura of the Thunderous Pearl anymore?"

"Haiyue, answer me, where's the Thunderous Pearl?" A young voice with a hint of panic.
Apparently, he valued the Thunderous Pearl immensely.
But Zhuo Haiyue remained seated with closed eyes, silent, completely ignoring his calls.
Hoo!
An invisible fluctuation suddenly surged from Zhuo Haiyue's brow, forming a slightly illusory figure of a white-robed child in front of her.
He, with a youthful face like that of a four or five-year-old child, had countless lightning flashes dispersed on his illusory robe.
"Haiyue!!" His seemingly innocent eyes stared at Zhuo Haiyue, full of confusion. "What's going on?"
In that instant...
Boom!
Zhuo Haiyue, who had closed her eyes, suddenly opened them, a terrifying aura bursting from her body, countless lightning flashes shimmering like lightning serpents, directly attacking the white-robed child's phantom.
"Huh? This is... the Thunder Annihilation Serpent. How did you cultivate the Thunder Annihilation Serpent?" The white-robed child's eyes widened suddenly, almost screaming.
Rumble!
As he screamed, dazzling lightning erupted all around the white-robed child, like a ball of light exploding.
Crackling~
As the lightning clashed, the lightning flashes resembling serpents instantly annihilated the white-robed child's resistance, directly invading his illusory body.
At such close range, coupled with little defense.
The phantom of the white-robed child instantly dissipated, leaving only the lightning flashes resembling serpents flickering around Zhuo Haiyue in the quiet room.
Silence!
"Finally dead?" Zhuo Haiyue murmured to herself. "You may be reborn in thunder, but you're ultimately too weak, and now without the Thunderous Pearl... the Thunder Annihilation Serpent is your greatest nemesis."
This secret technique, she had secretly cultivated with the help of a treasure for thousands of years, just for this day.
And for today, she had also prepared for thousands of years.
Buzz~
A faint and vast aura suddenly rose from Zhuo Haiyue's body, and her eyes instantly became cold and different.
Cold to the extreme.
Invisible pressures emerged, and her aura spread, as if it were an eternal and immortal majestic aura.
At this moment, if Wu Yuan were here, he would be shocked to find that Zhuo Haiyue's spiritual aura seemed to have changed completely, as if even those familiar with her would hardly recognize her.
"Naive."
"You think you can escape me like this?" Zhuo Haiyue seemed to mutter to herself, her voice seemingly unchanged but filled with unprecedented indifference, containing supreme authority and no room for rebuttal.
This scene was quite eerie.
However, this eerie state lasted less than a breath, and the eternal aura emanating from her entire body quickly converged.
Her eyes returned to normal.
"Lost control again?" Zhuo Haiyue's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom. She could sense the changes just now. "Indeed, the imprint is deep, unable to break free completely, can only delay and seek a way out."
She quickly converged her aura, and the lightning serpents roaming in the quiet room were continuously withdrawn.
Until the entire room was completely quiet.
Buzz~
Silently, countless lights converged, and a figure shrouded in black mist appeared.
"Master of Heart Cliff." Zhuo Haiyue stood up, bowing respectfully.
"Succeeded?" The voice of the Master of Heart Cliff was gentle, ethereal and unpredictable, sounding to Zhuo Haiyue as if it were coming from beyond the heavens.
"Destroyed that spirit," Zhuo Haiyue said lightly.
"That spirit is probably innocent. It may not know the truth," the Master of Heart Cliff sighed lightly.
"Whether it knows or not doesn't matter," Zhuo Haiyue shook her head. "I must eliminate it."
"Hmm," the Master of Heart Cliff nodded. "By eliminating this spirit, the remaining imprints of the Thunder Saint won't be able to control you all the time... By giving the Thunderous Pearl to Mingjian, the time it takes for you to comprehend the laws of thunder will also be greatly delayed."
"This is your opportunity," the Master of Heart Cliff said.
Zhuo Haiyue listened quietly.
For thousands of years, she had been making many arrangements in secret.
"The Thunder Saint, once jointly killed by the supreme beings of the Witch Court, is difficult to destroy completely. He left behind many imprints, and the Witch Court also found it difficult to kill him completely," the Master of Heart Cliff sighed. "I have heard of the outbreak of this battle in the universe. I didn't expect some of the tokens and treasures he left behind to eventually fall into the hands of the Blood Refining Sect."
"In the end, they found you."
The Master of Heart Cliff looked at Zhuo Haiyue. "And your spirit perfectly fits his imprints. I don't know if this is a move the Thunder Saint made before the battle or a fate arranged in the dark."
"The methods of the supreme beings are truly unpredictable," the Master of Heart Cliff shook his head slightly.
Fate intertwines, everything is difficult to say.
And the supreme beings are transcendent beyond ordinary fate; even the cycles of heaven and earth cannot bind them.
"In fact, if you choose to submit, there is also a glimmer of hope... at least when he returns, you won't be completely annihilated," the Master of Heart Cliff said. "But the path you choose now is either life or death."
"To be honest, the hope of survival is very slim," the Master of Heart Cliff sighed.
In terms of direct combat power, he was already close to the level of the supreme beings.
But the closer he got, the more he felt the gap.
"Master, even if there is a glimmer of hope, when that day comes, will I still be myself?" Zhuo Haiyue shook her head, her eyes filled with determination. "If I'm not myself, I would rather die."
The Master of Heart Cliff nodded, understanding Zhuo Haiyue's thoughts.
As strong individuals, they all have their own arrogance; they can obey stronger ones.
But few are willing to completely submit and become slaves.
Moreover, if Zhuo Haiyue followed the normal path, her ultimate fate would, in a sense, be more miserable than becoming a servant... her choice to resist and struggle is also normal.
In fact.
Shortly after Zhuo Haiyue arrived at the headquarters of the Tai Yuan Divine Court, her talents were already noticed by the high-level figures of the Divine Court, and corresponding arrangements were made.
It can be said that Zhuo Haiyue's journey to today, especially coming to the Time and Space Island, and even now, destroying the Thunder Spirit, all had the shadow of the Tai Yuan Divine Court behind it.
"I will guide you to the 'Zixiao Universe' according to the instructions of the True Saint. It is the place most adept at thunder laws among the many rivers of time and space, and it can be called the origin of the entire universe of thunder, containing many divine thunders of the highest grade," the Master of Heart Cliff said. "How far you can go in it, whether you can further break free from the Thunder Saint... it depends on you."
"No one can help you," the Master of Heart Cliff said. "Nine thousand years later, when the Universe Heavenly Road opens, it will also be your chance."
"I understand," Zhuo Haiyue nodded heavily.
"These two steps are seventy percent of your chance of survival," the Master of Heart Cliff looked down at Zhuo Haiyue. "The other thirty percent of your chance lies with Mingjian."
"Mingjian?" Zhuo Haiyue said silently.
She chose Mingjian, partly out of her own willingness, and partly from the Master of Heart Cliff's suggestion.
"When the Universe Heavenly Road opens, there will be many exceptional geniuses emerging from the various rivers of time and space," the Master of Heart Cliff said. "But only he has the ability and truly can help you."
"Hmm," Zhuo Haiyue nodded.
"Let's go!"
"From the Lingjiang Universe to the Zixiao Universe, it will take some time to traverse different rivers of time and space. After arriving in the Zixiao Universe, you need to readapt to the superior laws of that universe's river of time and space... this all takes time."
...
Zhuo Haiyue left, seeking her own path.
Meanwhile, Wu Yuan, the refining incarnation, continued to cultivate in the Time and Space Island. Besides normal practice, he devoted his thoughts to understanding the Thunderous Pearl.
Because, the Thunderous Pearl was very special.
At first, Wu Yuan didn't think much of it. But as he delved deeper into understanding and refining it, he noticed the uniqueness of the Thunderous Pearl.
"The two other top-grade Taoist artifacts owned by my refining incarnation, the Black Magic Blood Cave and the Demon Sealing List, I still can't refine them to this day. I can only use a trace of their power by activating the Demon Sealing Realm," Wu Yuan mused. "Although I've refined the Black Magic Blood Cave and claimed ownership, it's still difficult to activate."
"The refining incarnation is the same. The Hundred Stars Blade was sealed by the Lord of Ten Thousand Thunder Stars with great power, and now I can only unleash a small part of its power," he continued.
It can be said that the power of top-grade Taoist artifacts has already exceeded the limits that even immortals and gods can control. If the source of the Tao is not sealed and corresponding changes are made, even if Wu Yuan's comprehension of the Tao reaches the level of a sovereign, it is still difficult to fully unleash its power.
Why?
Because the mana is insufficient.
It's like a five or six-year-old child, even if his fighting skills are high, he can't wield a thousand-pound iron rod.
But the Thunderous Pearl is different.
"On pure thunder principles, I'm still far from the celestial level," Wu Yuan was amazed. "But to be able to unleash the Thunderous Pearl like this?"
Although the power unleashed was weaker, it was indeed successful.
As time passed, Wu Yuan tried one by one. He gradually discovered that by using different comprehensions of the Tao, he could unleash the power of the Thunderous Pearl, albeit with varying strengths.
Even when Wu Yuan only used the profoundness of thunder at the level of the Holy Land of Refinement, he still succeeded.
It's as if!
The source of Tao contained in the Thunderous Pearl can be strong or weak, changing with the master's level of strength.
"It truly is a remarkable object," Wu Yuan marveled. "I've seen many Taoist artifacts, but none of them compare to the Thunderous Pearl in this aspect."
Like the Hundred Stars Blade, the so-called sealing is actually forcibly sealing the source of Tao, very crude. Once Wu Yuan unravels the layers of sealing, it cannot be sealed again.
How can it be as flexible as the Thunderous Pearl?
"The Thunderous Pearl contains two great secrets of the Tao, named 'Thousand Light Thunder Blade' and 'Thunderous Escape Technique'?" Wu Yuan also sensed the two great methods contained within, which reminded him of the techniques and secrets used by Zhuo Haiyue in battle.
Quite similar.
Immediately.
Wu Yuan went further in his attempts.
He found that these two great techniques were quite powerful, especially the 'Thousand Light Thunder Blade.' It gradually progressed, starting from the most basic six sub-laws of thunder to the three intermediate laws, and finally to the complete thunder law.
"In terms of absolute height, the 'Thousand Light Thunder Blade' is not as good as the secret techniques I have cultivated like the 'Space-Time Nine Swords' and the 'Life and Death Intent,'" Wu Yuan judged. "But it's too suitable for assisting in cultivation."
"Each step is just right, progressing gradually."
It's as if there's a formidable master constantly guiding Wu Yuan forward, making him feel a noticeable improvement in the thunder law in a short time.
This is incredible.
Wu Yuan marveled at this technique.
But soon, Wu Yuan also noticed the flaw in this technique. If he cultivated it alone, it seemed to lack many things, and progress was slow.
It must be paired with the comprehension of the source of Tao within the Thunderous Pearl.
"The Thunderous Pearl is not only a top-grade Taoist artifact with both offensive and defensive capabilities, but also a very powerful inheritance treasure," Wu Yuan finally realized. "Through its secrets and the source of Tao, my progress in the thunder law will be much faster."
Wu Yuan also vaguely understood why Zhuo Haiyue progressed so quickly in the thunder law.
With such a treasure assisting, it's difficult to imagine not making rapid progress in comprehending the thunder law.
"However, just relying on the Thunderous Pearl, it's difficult to imagine rapid growth like Haiyue," Wu Yuan mused. "Moreover, why would such a precious treasure be given to me?"
Once refined, such a powerful treasure, even if unleashed, its power is endless.
Perplexed.
"As the enemy comes, the general blocks."
"My refining incarnation is now progressing rapidly in the law of life, but slower in the law of death," Wu Yuan pondered. "The law of death involves the laws of time, thunder, and fire."
"The strength of my refining incarnation is now stronger."
"Nine thousand years left, whether my refining incarnation can break through to the ninth level of the space-time true meaning remains uncertain," Wu Yuan thought to himself. "Want to reach the comprehension of a sovereign level? Only my refining incarnation has hope."
Wu Yuan didn't forget the instructions of the Lord of Mist Flame.
In many superpowers, there are already peerless geniuses who have reached the level of 'strongest genius.'
Instead of having two incarnations that are not very strong, it's better to make one of them more powerful.
"My refining incarnation, allocate a small part of its energy to comprehend the Thunderous Pearl," Wu Yuan decided.
This will allow the refining incarnation to progress faster.
Of course, Wu Yuan's two incarnations have average talent in the thunder law, so progress in this area will not be too fast.
Time flies like flowing water.
In this silent cultivation, thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye. The progress of Wu Yuan's two incarnations slowed down since they both broke through the bottleneck.
But they still hadn't reached the bottleneck's limit.
For example, the refining incarnation had unknowingly touched the edge of the eighth realm of true meaning.
This kind of progress, once spread out, would probably shock the entire river of time and space.
And Wu Yuan's refining incarnation's comprehension of the Thunderous Pearl also progressed rapidly in the thunder law.
One day.
"I finally reached the realm of Dao on the 'Myriad Rainbow Law,'" Wu Yuan's refining incarnation smiled.
The Myriad Rainbow Law is one of the three intermediate laws belonging to the thunder law.
It is also the most proficient in eruptive combat among the three intermediate laws of the law of death.
The three intermediate laws of the law of death also include the Myriad Rainbow Law, pursuing extreme speed and destructive power.
Reaching the realm of Dao in the Myriad Rainbow Law also means that Wu Yuan has reached the level of a celestial being in the pure thunder law.
This is the result of the refining incarnation's allocation of partial mental energy and cultivation for over a thousand years.
Breaking through the bottleneck from true meaning to the realm of Dao.
Phew!
Just as Wu Yuan stood up, wanting to relax his thoughts, suddenly, a mysterious and unpredictable fluctuation silently appeared, instantly invading Wu Yuan's upper dantian palace.
Invading his divine soul.
This fluctuation, faint yet vast and unpredictable.
"A divine soul attack? Karmic attack?" A hint of coldness flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes as he instantly sensed it.
The level difference is too great.
With Wu Yuan's current strength, he didn't even sense it at all, and when attacked, it was difficult to defend.
"It's a sovereign!"
"At least it's an attack at the sovereign level," Wu Yuan was shocked and immediately judged.
With his current strength, if it were a divine soul attack from the level of a star sovereign, he could at least resist it to some extent.
However, why would such a level of divine soul attack suddenly appear on the Time and Space Island?
The level difference between them is too great, and Wu Yuan is unable to directly resist.
"Condense!"
"Merge the primordial spirit into one."
In the blink of an eye, Wu Yuan's refining incarnation acted without hesitation. With a thought, a hazy golden river appeared on the surface of his twelve-layer primordial spirit body.
A middle-grade Taoist artifact—the Golden River!
"Starry Sea." Wu Yuan once again displayed his divine soul defense technique, the Starry Sea, one of the three great secret techniques of the "Star River Sea," in an instant.
"The Starry Sea," created by the Lord of Time and Space, combines offense and defense into one, with endless power.
The vast majority of the Sovereigns' cultivation techniques are only at this level, and some are even inferior.
And the "Starry Sea" is specifically a defensive technique among the three major secret techniques.
For tens of thousands of years, although Wu Yuan has devoted most of his energy to comprehending the Great Dao, he has never dared to relax in divine soul defense. He has long practiced the "Starry Sea" defense technique to a very high level.
Essentially, it turns the entire upper dantian palace into a sea of divine soul, weakening all external divine soul attacks layer by layer.
As a result, when Wu Yuan's original soul was found, most of these divine soul attacks had consumed most of their power.
"Boom!" This extremely mysterious divine soul fluctuation instantly penetrated the vast starry sea and collided with the golden river.
An invisible collision of divine souls.
It was like a world-shaking explosion, with endless ripples spreading in all directions.
The attack was endlessly mysterious.
But the power it contained was actually very weak, and Wu Yuan's means of guarding the original soul were unmatched. Only the divine soul defense technique and the guarding artifact of the original soul resisted it.
Everything calmed down.
"The Thunderous Pearl." Wu Yuan sensed it. With a thought, he instantly captured the source of the attack.
It came from the Thunderous Pearl.
"Boom!"
Without any hesitation, Wu Yuan's thought carried boundless power and directly rushed into the Thunderous Pearl.
As the master, his power rampaged through the Thunderous Pearl with no taboo.
The strange fluctuation quickly dissipated.
However, as it dissipated quickly, Wu Yuan pursued even faster. In almost an instant, Wu Yuan's thought followed the induction and chased into the core source of the Thunderous Pearl.
At this moment!
In the core source, a large number of Dao patterns had condensed into a dazzling ball.
The surface of the ball shimmered with thunderous light, restrained and profound, as if echoing the sound of the Great Dao.
It made Wu Yuan's heart quiet down quietly.
"Sword Chime, congratulations, you have passed the initial test." A tender voice sounded, followed by countless light spots shooting out from the ball, converging to form a figure of a child.
He was dressed in white robes, looking about four or five years old, delicate and lovely.
"Test? What test?" Wu Yuan's thought, in the source of the Dao, was fearless.
At most, he would abandon this thought.
The so-called thought is actually a strand of the primordial spirit. At Wu Yuan's level, one thought can produce billions of thoughts.
Of course, the effect of differentiation is often not significant, and it is too weak.
However, Wu Yuan was quite shocked.
It must be known that for thousands of years, Wu Yuan had considered the Thunderous Pearl to be completely refined. Although many mysteries inside were difficult to comprehend, he could at least control and sense them.
But from start to finish, he never noticed that there was such a secret in the Thunderous Pearl's Dao source.
"This Thunderous Pearl is the inheritance treasure left by the highest existence, the 'Thunderous True Saint,' before his fall."
The voice of the child in white was tender. "After you became the master, your comprehension of the Thunder Law reached the level of a celestial being, which triggered the residual imprint of the Thunderous True Saint."
"Therefore, I was born. You can call me 'Thunder Spirit.'" The child in white said, "Under my guidance, you will inherit the glory of the Thunderous True Saint and become a great sovereign or even a ruler in the not-too-distant future..."
Wu Yuan listened quietly.
His astonishment grew as he heard about the Thunderous True Saint's inheritance, the inheritance treasure, and the Thunder Spirit.
In an instant, he thought of Zhuo Haiyue.
Why did Zhuo Haiyue progress so fast? The main reason was probably because he obtained the True Saint's inheritance.
After practicing for so long, Wu Yuan's comprehension of the Thunder Law had only reached the level of a celestial being. Compared to Zhuo Haiyue, his progress in the Thunder Law was ridiculously slow.
"I'm not good at Thunder Law," Wu Yuan shook his head.
"Haha."
"You don't need to be good at Thunder Law," the child in white robes laughed. "The True Saint left an imprint... As long as you integrate the imprint, your progress in the Thunder Law will skyrocket. You'll progress rapidly without realizing it. Your compatibility should be over eighty percent... In at most a hundred thousand years, you'll comprehend the Thunder Law."
"A hundred thousand years to comprehend the Thunder Law?" Wu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, instinctively unable to believe it.
He also had some doubts.
Even the strongest geniuses in history rarely broke through within a hundred thousand years.
"What do I need to do?" Wu Yuan remained calm.
"Release many of your defensive methods on your divine soul, don't resist, let me integrate the True Saint's imprint into your divine soul..." the child in white robes continued, "It will be quick. I originally wanted to leave an imprint directly, but your reaction was too strong."
Wu Yuan listened silently.
But he didn't make any moves.
"Sword Chime?" The child in white robes called out again.
"Don't deceive me."
Wu Yuan suddenly spoke, "If my intuition is correct, the divine soul attack just now was probably an attempt to control my divine soul."
As soon as these words were spoken, the child in white robes' expression changed slightly.
But Wu Yuan had already made up his mind.
His thoughts were simple: first, judging from Zhuo Haiyue's words and deeds, this so-called Thunderous Pearl and Thunderous True Saint's inheritance were probably more harmful than beneficial, almost a dead end.
Second, the other party's promises were too false. Wu Yuan had encountered creators before, and they had never promised to comprehend the upper-level laws within a hundred thousand years, only telling him to work hard.
Third, Wu Yuan had once activated the Demon Sealing List, and the attack he had just suffered was very similar to the one he had just experienced.
Fourth, and most importantly, Wu Yuan was already powerful enough, his foundation was already good enough, and there was simply no need to take risks.
Release all defensive methods?
Once this was done, if this so-called "Thunder Spirit" wanted to take action against Wu Yuan, he would have no way to resist. Then he would regret it.
"Sword Chime, what you're thinking..." the child in white robes was about to speak.
"You want me to approve it very simply," Wu Yuan said, "Reveal the imprint you mentioned, reveal all the contained Dao patterns, and I will judge their authenticity."
"At the same time, release your control over the Thunderous Pearl. If my perception is correct, this sphere should be the true core of the Thunderous Pearl." Wu Yuan said.
The child in white robes' face changed again.
"Humph!"
"Sword Chime." The child in white robes' voice turned cold, snorting, "Since you don't believe me, there's no need to say more. I advise you to abandon the Thunderous Pearl as the master as soon as possible."
Boom!
The child in white robes instantly turned into countless light spots, rushing into the sphere emitting thunderous light, and then the sphere also seemed to want to dissipate, as if it wanted to return to its previous state.
Wu Yuan hesitated slightly in his heart, but then he felt a kind of invisible guidance.
It came from the black tower in the upper dantian palace - annihilate him!!
Although Wu Yuan was shocked in his heart, he didn't hesitate too much.
"Suppress!" Wu Yuan's thoughts moved.
Suddenly, a powerful force surged into this source of the Dao.
It was the majestic power comparable to that of a Star Lord that Wu Yuan had activated.
Combined with the comprehension of time and space, as well as the power of the Thunderous Pearl that Wu Yuan had mobilized, it completely enveloped the entire core of the Thunderous Pearl's Dao source.
And it directly suppressed the sphere.
For a while, it was unable to move.
"Sword Chime, what are you trying to do?" The tender voice suddenly sounded again from the sphere, with a hint of surprise and anger.
"I don't believe you."
"And since you just attacked my divine soul, I don't want to let you go." Wu Yuan shook his head. "I really want to try if your so-called inheritance can withstand my attack."
Whoosh!
A dazzling sword light descended instantly, with endless power, illuminating the entire source of the Dao artifact, and directly piercing towards the seemingly tiny sphere.
"Boom!" A terrifying explosion.
"Ah! No!"
Although the sphere seemed unharmed, there were bursts of screams from the tender voice.
"Sword Chime, you're crazy! How dare you attack me! You're declaring war on the True Saint, on the highest existence!" The tender voice screamed.
"Declare war on the highest existence? You're overestimating me." Wu Yuan shook his head. "I'm just curious about you."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, sword lights of attacks lit up. Compared to the battle with the Snowy Mist Realm thousands of years ago, Wu Yuan's swordsmanship was much stronger now.
Even without using any treasures, relying solely on the burst of divine power after combining the comprehension of the Dao with the "Primordial Dao Sacrifice," he possessed the power of a Star Lord.
Repeated bombardments.
Each strike caused screams to come from the sphere, but Wu Yuan paid no attention. He just stared coldly.
The Thunderous Pearl was a high-grade Dao artifact.
Every high-grade Dao artifact had a vast and almost indestructible interior. Therefore, a battle erupting within the source of the Dao had minimal impact on the Thunderous Pearl itself.
After attacking thousands of times.
The aura of the Thunderous Pearl became weaker and weaker, and each attempt to struggle ended in failure.
This was the Thunderous Pearl, after all, a treasure that Wu Yuan had refined and controlled. It had the initiative.
Perhaps the child in the white robe just now had some special privileges, but at least in this direct confrontation, it was no match for Wu Yuan.
Finally!
"Boom!"
With a sky-shattering explosion and a final scream, the entire Thunderous Pearl shook violently, and the sphere emitting thunderous light suddenly burst open.
Whoosh!
A vast and magnificent wave suddenly erupted, and strands of purple light shot out in all directions.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan's thought's expression changed.
Because.
He felt that this wave was vast, majestic, and eternal, giving an endless sense of oppression.
This aura and pressure, Wu Yuan had only felt once before, when he saw the "Immortal True Saint" from a distance in the Immortal Land.
The two were so similar.
As the strands of purple light burst forth, the heavens and the earth seemed to fall into silence.
Time seemed to stand still.
"Want to erase my imprint."
"Blasphemers will eventually be destroyed by the saints, and you will eventually perish." A grand and indifferent voice echoed in Wu Yuan's thoughts.
It echoed in Wu Yuan's divine soul.
It echoed deep in Wu Yuan's heart.
As if to be engraved into Wu Yuan's soul and destiny, making him unable to escape this mark forever.
Wu Yuan felt as if his mind had dimmed, as if a common man suddenly bore a weight of hundreds of pounds, and everything before his eyes seemed to darken.
Uncomfortable, oppressive.
"This is the highest existence?"
"Just one imprint, one remnant thought, a few simple words, yet it has such a great influence." A sense of fear and panic involuntarily shrouded Wu Yuan's heart.
This was a huge gap at the level of life, a gap that the mind and will could not overcome, forming an instinctive reaction.
It could be said that if Wu Yuan couldn't break free from this invisible influence, it would affect his Dao heart and will, causing flaws in his mind and instilling fear of the future.
Once that happened, let alone the future being greatly affected.
Even now, Wu Yuan's cultivation would probably stagnate directly.
Without a strong mind, how could one control powerful forces?
The source of power lies in the mind.
The most awe-inspiring power is the spirit.
"No! Cannot!" A voice seemed to roar from the depths of Wu Yuan's soul, full of anger and unwillingness.
At this moment.
Instead, an unprecedented power burst forth from the depths of Wu Yuan's soul, becoming extraordinarily firm.
He understood that if he couldn't break through this heavy obstacle today, his spirit would be obscured, and there would be no future to speak of.
Under such crazy oppression.
Wu Yuan became incredibly determined instead. His eyes, which had a hint of fear, became resolute.
"A dead person."
"A failure on the path of destiny."
"Someone who can only hide in the Dao artifacts, only knows how to plot against juniors in the passage of time, attempting to survive!"
"Why pretend?"
"Even if you're the highest, so what? Get out of my way!" Wu Yuan roared in his mind.
His twelvefold divine soul roared!
His countless thoughts roared!
"Boom!"
At this moment, the spirit became unprecedentedly powerful, as if the heavens and the earth were bursting open.
Wu Yuan felt as if the entire world had changed, with his perceptions undergoing rapid changes.
Wu Yuan's Dao heart, will, and spirit were all undergoing a crazy transformation.
He suddenly realized that the bottleneck he had been struggling to break through but couldn't was finally broken!
This is—the Dao heart and will of a Star Lord.
At this moment.
Wu Yuan's spiritual will had reached the level of a Star Lord.
Terms like Dao heart, will, and so on, all refer to 'spiritual cultivation', how far the mind can go, how strong the mind is.
Spiritual cultivation is intangible and elusive, difficult to comprehend, and there are no specific cultivation methods.
But it does exist.
Like countless Star Lords, why can they theoretically last forever, but most can only live for billions of years before decaying? Self-destructing and falling?
It's because their spiritual cultivation is not enough!
Under the erosion and corrosion of time, the minds of these Star Lords become twisted and eventually collapse and die.
Normally.
Like most Star Lords, it's only when their comprehension of the Dao reaches the level of a Star Lord, influenced by the origin of the Dao, that their spiritual cultivation breaks through to the level of a Star Lord.
The spiritual cultivation at the level of a Star Lord has another name—the Eternal Heart!
It means that the spiritual cultivation has reached this level, fearless of the erosion of time, eternal and coexistent with the heavens and the earth.
This is the first step to eternity.
Wu Yuan, with each of his two avatars comprehending a different Dao, under the influence of the two Dao, his Dao heart and will were already extremely strong, reaching the limit of a Star Lord.
However.
If not for today's extreme pressure, his normal cultivation, even if his comprehension of the Dao was higher, would still take tens of thousands of years to hope to break through.
In an instant!
A hazy light of will enveloped Wu Yuan, allowing him to directly face the coercion from the highest existence.
The twelvefold divine soul had already transformed into twelve divine soul swords, shining endlessly.
His innate magic treasure was 'Sword Shape,' and when his divine soul was affected, it also erupted in the shape of a sword.
"So what if you're the highest?"
"Just a negligible remnant thought."
"I, Wu Yuan, seek dominance in the world, and pursue the pinnacle."
"Today, I will cut down your remnant thought."
"Don't say you've long been dead, just a dry bone in the river of time. Even if you revive in the future, I can still slay you."
"Kill!" Wu Yuan's twelvefold divine soul, like twelve divine swords, erupted with unprecedented brilliance.
One word.
But it represents extremely powerful spiritual attacks, obliterating all obstacles in its path.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
Under the command of powerful will, this divine soul attack became even more terrifying, like a surging ocean, sweeping towards the remnant thought emitting vast purple light.
"How dare you!" This voice contained a hint of shock and anger, and even a trace of fear.
In the past, this remnant thought often remained hidden.
Why did he only dare to choose those who hadn't crossed the tribulation? Because this remnant thought was too weak, in reality, only a trace remained.
Facing super strong beings above the Star Lord level, unless a divine soul imprint was planted early on, otherwise, there was no way to resist.
But today.
He never expected to encounter a celestial freak whose spiritual cultivation and material attacks had both reached the level of a Star Lord!
"Boom!"
The terrifying and invisible collision of will and divine soul occurred at the core of the Thunder Pearl Dao source.
Time after time!
"Kill!" Although Wu Yuan was repeatedly repelled, the mighty Origin Power in his upper dantian palace continuously dispelled the fatigue of his divine soul.
On the other hand, that trace of remnant thought from the highest existence was like water without a source, continuously weakening.
Finally.
After countless collisions.
"Blasphemer! You will eventually be destroyed..." The remnant thought of the highest existence, on the verge of destruction, continued to transmit towards the depths of Wu Yuan's soul.
"It's you who's blaspheming me, go to hell!" Wu Yuan directly cursed back, once again triggering his thoughts.
Swoosh!
The surging divine soul attack, like tearing through rotten wood, completely annihilated the last bit of power of this remnant thought of the highest existence.
Silence!
The entire core of the Thunder Pearl fell silent.
"Hmm?"
However, Wu Yuan observed that within the Thunder Pearl Dao source, there was a hazy purple light cluster. The light cluster seemed to have countless Dao patterns converging, with strange fluctuations.
Just floating there.
But instinctively, Wu Yuan felt a desire to devour it.
"What is this?" Instinctively, Wu Yuan's thoughts reached out towards this purple light cluster.
Wanting to understand its mysteries.
In the moment of contact.
"Boom!"
This purple light cluster seemed to come alive, erupting directly into countless purple light spots, instantly penetrating and corroding into Wu Yuan's upper dantian palace along with Wu Yuan's thoughts.
Those countless light spots directly merged into Wu Yuan's twelvefold divine soul.
"What? It's not a divine soul attack, and Jinhe isn't responding."
"This?" Wu Yuan's heart flashed with a hint of shock, followed by countless insights and flashes of enlightenment rushing into his mind.
All of them were insights into the laws of thunder.
"Too much, too rich."
This kind of comprehension speed is like ten times a normal enlightenment, flooding in massively.
It made Wu Yuan involuntarily fully immersed in cultivation, calming down entirely.
Hum~
Silent and extremely faint ripples suddenly flew out from the core of the Thunder Pearl Dao source, directly penetrating into a higher-dimensional space, intending to escape.
Just then.
Hum~
In Wu Yuan's upper dantian palace, the standing black tower suddenly trembled slightly, and a barely visible crack appeared at the base entrance.
An invisible attraction emerged.
Directly ignoring the numerous spatial obstacles, ignoring the difference between Wu Yuan's upper dantian palace and the outside world.
Directly acting on the subtle fluctuations that had penetrated into the "void layer" of space.
"This is... from the ancestor... No!" The fluctuation that thought it had already escaped panicked in an instant.
"How is this possible!"
He felt that this invisible fluctuation was not targeting the divine soul or any material such as magical treasures. Instead, it specifically aimed at his life imprint derived from the Dao.
"No!"
He struggled desperately. Although he had lost the original power contained in the Thunder Pearl, as long as this trace of imprint could escape, the loss wouldn't be too great.
If this thread of life imprint was devoured?
He would actually have died long ago.
Every bit less of the life imprint was irrecoverable, and the possibility of returning in the distant future would be reduced.
However.
The attraction from the black tower, seemingly weak, was actually extremely terrifying, not allowing him to resist at all.
"Pfft~"
This strand of fluctuation struggled desperately, but it was still sucked into the black tower in an instant, and then the crack at the base of the black tower disappeared.
This whole process was silent, and Wu Yuan didn't notice at all.
From beginning to end, Wu Yuan was continuously absorbing and deducing the crazy insights into the laws of thunder surging into his mind.
It was terrifyingly abundant.
At first, Wu Yuan was still worried and remained vigilant, but there were no anomalies at all, so he gradually relaxed.
"Could it be."
"Is this the special power left behind by the so-called 'True Saint of Thunder'?" Wu Yuan speculated to himself.
Unclear and unable to perceive any flaws, he just focused on comprehending with all his might.
...
In a place far beyond the boundaries of the space-time Dao, mysterious and incomparable, only the thunderous light filled the sky, booming and bursting.
Countless miles-long thunderous serpents whistled by.
A figure in silver armor was moving forward in this endless sea of thunder, each step she took was extremely difficult, enduring endless assaults of thunder light.
It was Zhuo Haiyue.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?" A hint of astonishment flashed in Zhuo Haiyue's eyes, somewhat incredulous, "The shackles of life, missing a link... Is it you, Mingjian?"
"Mingjian, thank you!"
She felt as if the oppression of fate she had been enduring was suddenly reduced by a lot.
The future vitality seemed to be changing.
"You have your day too."
"Fate!"
"In this world, there is never a fixed destiny." Zhuo Haiyue silently murmured, her eyes becoming more and more determined.
...
The turmoil caused by Wu Yuan in his palace, except for Zhuo Haiyue in a distant land, was vaguely sensed, but no one else knew.
The stars and moons in the palace were unaware.
The Lord Lan Yan who guarded the Time-Space Island also did not notice the slightest.
And in the extremely higher-dimensional space of the Time-Space Island, here, the space seemed nonexistent, as if multiple spatial dimensions intersected, and the flow of time constantly changed.
In this mysterious intersection of time and space.
There floated a grand palace.
Inside the palace, the figure in black robes with long hair covering the face, he, from past to future, seemed eternal and unchanged, his body never swayed a bit.
"Another step stronger." Under the black hair, he murmured to himself, "Hunting the ultimate, killing the eternal, is this the rule you want to set?"
Then.
There was no sound from the figure in black robes again, as if everything said before was illusory.
...
Cultivation knows no years, hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye.
Time-Space Island, in Wu Yuan's palace.
"Boom!"
A powerful wave of Dao enveloped, dispersing countless thunder lights, and Wu Yuan's primordial self, who had been quietly cultivating for hundreds of years, opened his eyes.
"The Law of Myriad Rainbows, actually understood directly?" Wu Yuan murmured to himself, his voice tinged with joy and a hint of shock.

(End of this chapter)
Chapter 451 Assassination Exposed (Seeking subscription monthly pass)
Understanding the Law of Myriad Rainbows, for Wu Yuan now, the improvement in strength is minimal.
You could even say, there's no improvement at all.
After all, his primordial self has already comprehended the Time-Space Dao to the Seventh True Meaning.
And in recent years, his bodily self has even entered the Eighth True Meaning by comprehending the Creation Dao.
Just comprehending a middle-grade law? The impact is too small.
However, this still couldn't conceal Wu Yuan's shock because progress on the pure Dao couldn't overshadow the immense bottleneck encountered when comprehending a middle-grade law.
Not to mention comprehending a middle-grade law, even if Wu Yuan wanted to comprehend a lower-grade law, he would encounter numerous bottlenecks and consume a lot of time.
In the past six hundred years, Wu Yuan's comprehension of the Law of Myriad Rainbows had been too rapid.
It was unbelievably fast.
You should know, whether it's the primordial self or the bodily self, their talent in the Laws of Thunder is very 'average.'
"Moreover, mainly it's my primordial self that's comprehending. The influence of the Time-Space Dao on the primordial self would naturally slow down the comprehension speed of other laws." Wu Yuan shook his head inwardly.
He closed his eyes and silently recalled six hundred years ago.
After destroying the remnant thought of the True Saint of Thunder, countless purple light spots merged into his divine soul.
In these hundreds of years of comprehending the Laws of Thunder, in fact, the entire process couldn't be described as comprehension or deduction at all.
More accurately speaking—it was a sudden enlightenment!
"It's as if there's an invisible force rapidly refining the mysteries of the law within me." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "Could it be that once the trace left by the Supreme Existence is transformed into ownerless Dao patterns, refining it can give access to part of this understanding of cultivation?"
This was a bold conjecture made by Wu Yuan combining his own experience and insights.
This conjecture was bold but also very suitable for Wu Yuan's situation.
Otherwise.
It's impossible to explain why he was able to comprehend the Law of Myriad Rainbows in just a few hundred years, no matter how formidable the external conditions for auxiliary cultivation were.
In fact, Wu Yuan's speculation was not wrong.
If the Supreme Existence were to fall, if he wished, he could easily create a Lord Existence with his own life imprint... However, living Supreme Existences often don't do this.
"Haoyue, I'm afraid it's a similar situation."
"Maybe even much more serious than mine." Wu Yuan silently recalled what he had seen in the past and made deductions.
He vaguely understood why the Lord Lan Yan had said that Zuo Haoyue might become a Lord in just a few tens of thousands of years at most.
"If she continuously receives the life imprints left by the True Saint of Thunder, continuously merges them, can her growth rate not be fast?" Wu Yuan mused. "Tens of thousands of years? If she doesn't spare any effort, perhaps she can 'enlighten' complete upper-grade laws in just a few thousand years."
However, there are few free lunches in the world.
To gain, one often has to pay.
Normal cultivation involves comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth, experiencing countless hardships before gaining anything.
Although the path is extremely rough, each step is solid.
To ascend in one step, without any foundation beneath, one is naturally more likely to fall.
"Considering Haoyue's words, what she paid was probably her own everything. The True Saint of Thunder should have already begun to control her." Wu Yuan furrowed his brows slightly. "Could she break free?"
Combining the words of the Thunder Spirit from before with Wu Yuan's deductions, it was highly probable that the True Saint of Thunder had already fallen.
But.
Having witnessed the means of the Eternal True Saints and the Lords of Time and Space, especially having personally touched the remnant thought left by the True Saint of Thunder, Wu Yuan became even more aware of the terror of the Supreme Existence.
Even if it falls, the remaining means might easily kill a Lord.
The reason is very simple—the Lord Lan Yan simply wouldn't dare to intervene.
"If this True Saint of Thunder has the ability, or even if he really returns in the future, I estimate he will come looking for me." Wu Yuan muttered to himself. "Insulting a True Saint?"
However, even if a dispute arises with the Supreme Existence,
Wu Yuan doesn't blame Zuo Haoyue for this matter.
Firstly, when she came to find him, she already subtly reminded him. However, she was deeply entangled in it, unable to speak clearly about many things, and that kind of reminder was probably already at its limit.
"Just like me, unable to explain the matter of the immortal place." Wu Yuan shook his head. "The methods of the Supreme Existence are unfathomable."
Secondly, it was his own initiative.
"All I saw was a dead end along the way. Among the people she knew and could barely trust, perhaps I was the only one with the ability and hope to help her." Wu Yuan muttered to himself.
The reason why Wu Yuan agreed in the end was also because after asking, he didn't want Zuo Haoyue to really reach a dead end.
"I don't have many friends, Haoyue, you count as one." Wu Yuan felt calm in his heart.
Another reason was that he saw his own shadow in Zuo Haoyue.
Zuo Haoyue was involved with the Supreme Existence, while he was involved with the Ancestral Tower. The destinies of both sides were so similar.
Now, they were both struggling in the torrent of fate, trying to grasp a glimmer of hope.
The most important reason.
The reason why Wu Yuan encountered such great danger in the end was not because of the inheritance contained in the Thunder Bead, but because he was guided by the invisible guidance of the Black Tower to forcibly eliminate the remnant thought of the True Saint of Thunder.
Otherwise, just the initial divine soul attack, any Star Monarch-level expert could easily withstand it.
"The trouble started with the Black Tower." Wu Yuan sensed the Black Tower in his upper dantian palace, still standing there.
Motionless!
For tens of thousands of years, Wu Yuan had made many attempts, but even though his strength had greatly increased, he still couldn't shake it, let alone open it.
The Black Tower seemed to only react under certain special circumstances.
"Why does the Black Tower want me to eliminate the remnant thought of the True Saint of Thunder, and what can it gain?" Wu Yuan pondered endlessly.
He just had a feeling that what the Black Tower did was not solely for himself, but for its own purposes.
However, his strength was still too weak to perceive.
"In any case."
"This time, comprehending the Law of Myriad Rainbows gave my bodily self the confidence to become a Star Monarch at any time in the future." Wu Yuan muttered to himself.
For tens of thousands of years, both his primordial self and bodily self had passed through six calamities.
Next would be the Seventh Immortal Calamity and the Eighth Immortal Calamity.
Passing through these two major calamities, even if he chose not to condense an immortal body or divine body, it would still lead to a transformation and improvement in his magical power cultivation.
However, passing through the Sixth Immortal Calamity still belonged to the broad category of 'ordinary mundane life,' and the rules of heaven and earth wouldn't oppress too much. He could continue to live until millions of years before passing through the Seventh Immortal Calamity.
And once he chose to pass through the Seventh Immortal Calamity, it would be the first step in truly 'breaking fate' and 'living long.'
If he chose not to condense an immortal body, then, as the rules of heaven and earth operated, at most, after 180,000 years, the Eighth Immortal Calamity would descend, followed by the Ninth Immortal Calamity after another 180,000 years.
"If I pass through the Seventh Immortal Calamity now, I will have to pass through the Ninth Immortal Calamity in at most 360,000 years." Wu Yuan muttered to himself. "Passing through the Ninth Immortal Calamity, regardless of the level of comprehension, once successful, I must condense an immortal body or divine body."
This is an iron law of the operation of the heavens and the earth, and from ancient times to the present, it cannot be broken.
Therefore.
Like most extraordinary geniuses, before the age of 640,000 years, they would not pass through the Seventh Immortal Calamity.
For example, the gods Nie Zhen, Mi Yun, Senior Brother Jiang Huan, and so on, even if they had the strength to pass through the Eighth and Ninth Immortal Calamities, they would continue to stay at the Sixth Immortal Calamity stage as long as possible to remain as an upper god.
And like the Sword Immortal Dongyang, when his lifespan was approaching its limit, and his strength was sufficient, he naturally became an Eight Calamity Upper Immortal.
Normal Eight Calamity Upper Immortals would have magical power comparable to a Triple Celestial Immortal.
"When I'm over 600,000 years old, I'll go through the Seventh Immortal Calamity. By then, I'll be able to slowly strengthen my bodily self with the Law of Myriad Rainbows." Wu Yuan smiled, somewhat absent-mindedly.
Over six hundred thousand years, what an incredibly long time.
Right now, he's only lived for twelve thousand years.
The primordial self comprehends the origin of space-time, wanting to achieve the Supreme through the space-time avenue in the future. Therefore, it must use time or space as the foundation to condense the immortal body.
Similarly.
The bodily self comprehends the law of creation, and can only use the various laws contained within the two major upper laws of life and death as the foundation to become a Star Monarch or even a Sovereign.
If today he hadn't comprehended the Law of Myriad Rainbows, in the future, Wu Yuan's bodily self would also have to choose a middle-level law to comprehend first.
Otherwise.
If he were to delay until the end of his lifespan of millions of years without truly comprehending the law, and ultimately unable to condense the immortal or divine body, that would be truly unfair.
"The greatest impact of completely comprehending a law, although not fully merging into it, is that under the influence of Dao, it will still affect my comprehension of other middle-level and upper-level laws." Wu Yuan remained relatively calm.
Because, it doesn't affect the comprehension of the Great Dao.
The Great Dao transcends heaven and earth, it is the true eternal way, and only it influences the other laws. There has never been any other law that can influence the Great Dao.
"Now that I'm comprehending the Great Dao, the difficulty lies not in comprehending the laws of life and death." Wu Yuan pondered. "But in fusion... The fusion of upper-level laws with each other is the real slow and difficult part."
Even if the cultivation speed of the Death Law, which is slightly slower, has already reached the ninth level of truth, it is just stuck in front of the domain.
"In a few hundred more years, by the next task cycle, when the space-time points reach forty thousand, I can try to become a legacy imprint journalist and obtain the inheritance of the Dao Lord." Wu Yuan suddenly received a message from the space-time fairyland.
The Law Body completed a space-time mission.
During these ten thousand years, the primordial self had never left the space-time island, and the Law Body had basically never stopped wandering in the realm of the Dao.
"Comprehending the Law of Myriad Rainbows."
"Manipulating this Thunder Bead, its power has increased significantly." Wu Yuan flipped his hand, and the Thunder Bead appeared in his palm.
"However, for the Thunder Bead to truly unleash its power, it must be in the hands of the bodily self."
According to Wu Yuan's perception and deduction, if the Thunder Bead were activated using the Law of Death, its power would probably be even greater.
After all, the primordial self is ultimately skilled in space-time.
"However, I have to endure it for now." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly; the Thunder Bead was too much of a concern.
Once it fell into the hands of the bodily self, it might expose both of his major selves.
...
Over the long years, the primordial self has been quietly cultivating on the space-time island.
In the distant Qingling Great World, the Shaman World.
The First Original Shaman World, belonging to the virtual continent controlled by Wu Yuan, teleportation array.
Hoo!
Wu Yuan's Source Body walked out of the teleportation array, and immediately, several figures flew over. Their life auras were quite strong, all of them were Upper Immortals or Divine Beings.
"Master." Several servant Upper Immortals all bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with fanaticism.
They all understood their master's strength.
As servants, they admired and believed in Wu Yuan from the bottom of their hearts.
"Yes." Wu Yuan's gaze swept over the group of servants and asked, "Where is Fairy Cenjiang?"
