Chapter 277: (Bonus Chapter for 50 power stones)
Yang Wu's will transformed, and his ability to resist the illusion immediately increased dramatically.
Almost in an instant, the misty air currents on the 266th floor of the Illusion Palace had completely dissipated.
"A breakthrough in will?" Yang Wu's heart moved.
The ninth-level Domain Lord possesses the willpower comparable to that of an ordinary immortal god. This may sound unbelievable, but to Yang Wu, it is just a natural outcome.
His will had already reached the limit of the realm master level, and all he needed to break through was an opportunity.
Even if Yang Wu had not come to break into this illusion palace, he would have been able to break through after some time.
However, it is also a good thing for Yang Wu that his will can break through earlier.
After all, for Yang Wu, who has the ability to split himself, the stronger his will is, the greater his ability to protect his life will be.
"Before the breakthrough, the 266th floor of the Hall of Illusion is my limit!"
Yang Wu thought secretly in his heart: "According to the information I have learned, the 266th floor of the Hall of Illusion corresponds to the illusion of the high level of the Marquisate, which is not much different from what I estimated."
"However, there is a huge gap between the will of a Realm Lord and that of an Immortal. With the blessing of the second level of my state of mind, my current soul defense should be comparable to that of a high-level King. Maybe I can even make it to the 360th floor of the Illusion Palace." Yang Wu thought secretly in his heart.
However, Yang Wu did not choose to continue to fight forward. Instead, after entering the 267th floor, he resisted slightly and then actively immersed himself in the environment.
Then Yang Wu's consciousness became fuzzy and he was instantly teleported out of the Illusion Palace.
Yang Wu's willpower has broken through to the immortal level, and his gains have been huge.
Now that he has seen the illusionary skills of the Phantom King, there is no need to continue.
What's more, the methods Yang Wu has demonstrated now are already terrifying enough, so there is no need for him to continue to show off at this time.
and!
The most important reason why the secret of the earth was discovered was that Hong broke into the twentieth level of the Illusion Sea when he was at the cosmic level.
The strength Yang Wu has now demonstrated is equivalent to breaking through the sixteenth level of the Sea of Illusion.
Although this kind of strength is not as amazing as Hong's, it is also very eye-catching.
However, Yang Wu's talent in understanding the laws is also incredible. When the two are combined, they are not too eye-catching.
But if Yang Wu really got to the 300th floor or above, he might get into a lot of trouble.
…
At this moment, a group of powerful men in the hall were all staring at Yang Wu in amazement, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The Hall of Illusion is a treasure land arranged by the Phantom King himself, and her disciples and followers often try it out.
But so far, among the countless powerful men under the command of King Phantom, only 13 have been able to pass the 266th floor of the Illusion Palace.
But those people have all practiced for endless years, which is why they possess such amazing willpower.
The Phantom King's face was not calm at this time.
She had never thought that Yang Wu, a peerless genius who had practiced for less than a thousand years and had been smooth sailing all the way, could actually see the essence of desire and break the illusion of the 266th floor of the Illusion Palace.
The only person who remained calm was Hong, who was waiting for Yang Wu on the side.
However, Hong also had a look of shock on his face at this time, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"Brother Hong, stop pretending!" Yang Wu looked at Hong who had a shocked face and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
Just like when he entered the fantasy world of Eighteen Loves before, Hong is still pretending now!
Compared with Yang Wu, Hong, who has already entered the threshold of the third level of spiritual cultivation, might actually be able to pass through the entire Illusion Palace.
"Unbelievable!" There was a hint of shock in King Huanling's eyes, "I never thought that not only is your understanding of the laws so amazing, but your mind and will are also so amazing!"
"If you choose to practice the lineage of an illusionist, there will be one more soul master in this vast universe in the future!" The Phantom King couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank you for your compliment, Senior Phantom King!" Yang Wu smiled slightly.
In fact, with the talents of Earthlings, they are more suitable for the paths of psychics and illusionists.
After all, the talents of earthlings are all in their souls.
However, Yang Wu's practice of the warrior path has almost become an instinct. Even in the simulated experience, Yang Wu is at most just auxiliary in the methods of a spiritualist.
Secondly, Yang Wu has already given birth to a clone of the Yanshen clan.
As one of the two major clans bred by the God King Zuoshanke, the Yanshen clan's physical talents are no less than the spiritual talents of the earthlings.
"Hmph! Bushela, send them both away!" The Phantom King snorted coldly, and then his figure disappeared out of thin air.
"This…" Yang Wu was stunned, thinking to himself: "This Phantom King really has a weird temper!"
Among the many powerful kings of mankind, the Phantom King is extremely famous for his strange temper.
She clearly doesn't allow any man to touch her, but she always acts charming and attractive; she clearly has a violent temper and is extremely cruel, but she always pretends to be gentle.
As for mood swings, it is a common occurrence for the Phantom King.
Yang Wu's gaze fell on the others, and he saw envy and admiration on everyone's faces.
"Your Highness Yang Wu, please follow me!" Bushela stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Yeah!" Yang Wu nodded slightly.
He had come here originally for Hong, but unexpectedly, by chance, he gained something extra.
Then, Yang Wu and Hong followed Bushela, the disciple of King Huanling, to the teleportation point and were directly teleported back to the Black Dragon Mountain Island.
…
Heilongshan Island.
"Third brother, if you can reach the third level of spiritual cultivation, you should be able to pass through the entire Illusion Palace!"
Walking on the way back to Jiuxingwan Community from the teleportation point, Hong suddenly said calmly.
"This..." Yang Wu couldn't help but feel speechless.
There are three levels of spiritual cultivation.
The first level is to see one's true nature and directly point to one's original mind. In many Chinese Buddhist and Taoist classics, this is considered a manifestation of "attaining the Tao".
The second level, the unity of man and nature, the heart of a child. This is the pinnacle of theory, the state of mind is perfect, Yang Wu and Lei Shen are now in this realm.
The third level, the heart is infinite and embraces everything. The Earth lineage has gone through endless years, and it is extremely rare to reach this level, and Hong has now crossed this threshold.
Although there is no difference in the superiority or inferiority of these three realms, there is a huge gap in many aspects such as resisting pressure, illusions, and soul attacks.
Some of them are similar to skills and have an amplitude effect, which can increase the soul's defense capabilities by hundreds or thousands of times.
According to Yang Wu's estimation, the third level of spiritual cultivation that Hong had realized could add value to a world master-level soul and might be comparable to a precious treasure.
Long before Yang Wu left the Xueluo world, he had already realized the second level of 'harmony between man and nature, and a pure heart'. But until now, even though he had been instructed by Hong, he had not even touched the edge of the third level.
In fact, the state of "cultivating the mind" has little to do with the number of years of cultivation.
Some strong men, even after practicing for a long time, did not see a significant improvement in their strength. However, in terms of "cultivating the mind", they could reach a very high level in just a few decades. For example, some ancient saints on Earth, who lived for less than a hundred years, were able to reach the second level of cultivation.
"I have now reached the state of unity between man and nature, but I still cannot find the third level."
Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder when I can take this step like you, Brother Hong?"
Of course Yang Wu wanted to take this step. If he could reach the third level of spiritual cultivation and then add blessing to his will which was already comparable to that of an ordinary immortal god, then even if a soul master at the peak of the king level used all his strength to cast illusions, it would be difficult to threaten him.
"I can tell you the truth, but I can't explain the realm."
Hong smiled and said, "You are on Earth now. When you have time, you can read more ancient Chinese books. Maybe it will be helpful to you."
"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded.
Ancient Chinese books are indeed of great help in cultivating the mind, otherwise there would not have been so many great men and saints in ancient times.
Soon, Yang Wu and the other person returned to Jiuxingwan Community.
At this time, not much time had passed, so Luo Feng and Lei Shen were still waiting in the pavilion.
Seeing Yang Wu and Hong appear, Luo Feng and the others quickly stood up to greet them and asked about their experiences.
Hong explained the whole thing very calmly.
Luo Feng and the others did not pay much attention to what happened to Yang Wu and Hong Chuang in the Illusion Palace.
After all, the four of them are all people with extremely strong wills and minds.
But Luo Feng and the others couldn't understand why the relationship between Hong and Ji Qing ended.
But no one mentioned this matter again.
They knew very well that with Hong's character, after saying goodbye to Ji Qing, the matter would be completely over.
Afterwards, the four of them sat together and exchanged their cultivation experiences.
Feeling Hong and Lei Shen's understanding of the laws, Yang Wu suddenly asked: "Brother Hong, Brother Lei, have you ever thought about joining the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company?"
"The core layer of the Virtual Universe Company?" Hong and Lei Shen were slightly stunned.
"Yes!" Yang Wu said very seriously: "In addition to the genius competition and the strong competition, the Virtual Universe Company will also recruit talents from the special elites within the company."
"With your understanding of the laws, it shouldn't be too difficult to join the outermost apocalyptic secret realm of the core layer!"
"Really?" Thor asked quickly.
"Of course it's true!" Yang Wu said very seriously.
Although Hong He Lei Shen's current understanding of the laws is not as outstanding as that of Yang Wu and Luo Feng, it is still quite rare among cosmic geniuses.
Among them, Hong's light law is already comparable to the level of the third level of Tongtian Bridge, and Lei Shen's thunder and lightning law has also reached the level of the second level of Tongtian Bridge.
The geniuses of Yang Wu's generation who were recruited by the Virtual Universe Company, those members of the Doomsday Secret Realm, have only just passed the third level of the Tongtian Bridge, and some are even still on the second level.
Among the universe-level core members of the Virtual Universe Company.
Members of the original secret realm usually pass through the seventh to eighth levels of Tongtian Bridge;
Members of the Primordial Secret Realm usually pass through the sixth to seventh floors of the Tongtian Bridge;
Members of the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth usually pass through the fourth to sixth levels of the Tongtian Bridge;
The members of the secret realm of the end times are of mixed quality, and most of them can pass the second to fourth levels of the Tongtian Bridge.
Even the Thunder God, whose comprehension of the laws is slightly lower, has now reached the lowest level of the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth.
You know, Hong and Lei Shen only joined the Qianwu Secret Realm. In the two hundred years after the end of the Genius War, they did not go to the Chaos City.
The cultivation resources they can obtain are far inferior to those of the geniuses who have joined the secret realm of the end times, but their cultivation speed is even faster than that of others.
"Haha, that's great!"
Thor smiled and said, "I never thought I would have the chance to go to Chaos City!"
When Thunder God first learned about the magic of Chaos City from Yang Wu and Luo Feng, he was extremely envious.
In fact, with Yang Wu's wealth, it is very easy to buy two initial universe comprehension quotas for Hong and Lei Shen.
Moreover, Yang Wu had mentioned this matter before, but was rejected by Hong and Lei Shen.
In their eyes, the path to becoming strong does not mean relying too much on others.
A cosmic-level initial cosmic comprehension quota is about 10,000 Hunyuan units, which is equivalent to the entire wealth of an ordinary immortal god. It is difficult for the two of them to accept it.
However, now that they have the opportunity to join the core team of the Virtual Universe Company based on their own talents, they are of course looking forward to it.
"No problem, leave it to me!" Yang Wu assured with a smile: "I think after some time, Brother Hong and Brother Lei, you will be able to go to Chaos City!"
For Yang Wu, this was indeed a trivial matter.
The person in charge of sending talents from Qianwu Universe to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company is the Minister of Military Affairs, Jin Yuhou. With Yang Wu's current status, he only needs to say hello to him.
Hong also looked at Yang Wu and said solemnly: "Third brother, I'm going to trouble you again this time!"
Hong and Lei Shen also joined the Qianwu Secret Realm, so they knew very well that the larger the force, the more complicated the process of attracting geniuses would be.
When the Virtual Universe Company recruits talents other than the Genius Battle and the Strong Battle, even if they are strong enough, it still needs to go through a period of competition.
They want to directly join the secret realm of the end of the world, which is definitely a special case. It is difficult to do so without a strong background.
"Brother Hong, you haven't forgotten Ji Qing yet!"
Yang Wu laughed and teased: "Do you have to be polite to me about something like this? This itself requires you and Brother Lei to be strong enough, I am just playing a supporting role!"
"Haha, of course there's no need to be so polite among the four of us brothers!" Thor laughed.
Hong also smiled and nodded.
Given the relationship between them, there is no need to say anything, just remember it in your heart.
"Haha!" Luo Feng also laughed and said, "Then I will wait for you two, Brother Hong and Brother Lei, in the Primitive Secret Realm!"
Even without going to Chaos City, Hong and Lei Shen were able to keep up with the many geniuses in the Secret Realm of the End Times. After leaving Chaos City, their strength will surely explode. It should not be difficult for them to break into the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth.
However, it will still take some time to break into the Taichu Secret Realm and the Original Secret Realm.
"Haha!" Thor also laughed and said, "Third brother, fourth brother, although you are ahead temporarily, you never know when my brother and I will catch up with you!"
"Go ahead and chase me if you can!" Luo Feng also said with a smile.
His golden-horned beast clone is about to break through to the realm master level, and it is still unclear who will chase whom?
Thinking of this, Luo Feng looked at Yang Wu again.
Yang Wu also smiled slightly. His talent and understanding have increased a lot now, and he has the help of the time simulator. If he can still be caught up by others, he will not need to practice anymore.
Yang Wu and the other three chatted for a while before going their separate ways.
Yang Wu, on the other hand, was teleported directly to Amethyst Island.
…
Virtual universe, Amethyst Island.
"Your Highness Yang Wu!"
"special envoy!"
Amid the greetings from many members of the Qianwu branch, Yang Wu stepped into the most dazzling Bauhinia Palace in the center of Amethyst Island.
"Marquis Jinyu." Yang Wu walked to the door of the Minister of Military Affairs and pushed it open.
"Your Highness Yang Wu!" When Marquis Jin Yu saw Yang Wu appear, he was slightly stunned, and then his face was full of smiles.
"Why did you think of coming to me?" Jin Yuhou's attitude was extremely enthusiastic.
Ever since Yang Wu took up the post of Special Supervisory Envoy of Qianwu Branch, he has been staying in his hometown to practice in seclusion, except for the one time when Qianshui came to take up the post of Qianwu Branch.
And this is exactly what the three giants including Jin Yuhou want to see the most.
Now, decades have passed, and Jin Yuhou and the other two have gone from being nervous at the beginning to feeling extremely fortunate now.
To them, Yang Wu, the special inspector who devoted himself to self-cultivation, was simply perfect.
"There is a small matter I would like to ask Marquis Jin Yu for help!" Yang Wu said with a smile.
"Your Highness Yang Wu, please speak!" Marquis Jin Yu was moved and said quickly.
He was not afraid that Yang Wu would come to him for help, but he was afraid that Yang Wu would not ask him for help.
"It's like this, I have two brothers in life and death!" Yang Wu said with a smile: "They are now practicing in the Qianwu Secret Realm. I want them to join the core layer of my Virtual Universe Company. I wonder if Jin Yuhou has any solution?"
"This..." Jin Yuhou suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
When it comes to letting people join the Qianwu branch, it is naturally up to Marquis Jinyu to decide.
However, the company headquarters has extremely strict requirements on talent when recruiting core talents, and for a while, Jin Yuhou did not dare to take on too much.
"Your Highness Yang Wu!"
After thinking for a moment, Jin Yuhou smiled and said, "You must know that the competition for talents in the core layer of our Virtual Universe Company headquarters is very fierce. If you don't have enough talent, it will be difficult to be absorbed by the core layer of the company!"
"I know that!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "My two friends are now at the cosmic level, and their understanding of the laws is comparable to the second and third levels of Tongtian Bridge. I think they should be qualified to join the secret realm of the end of the world!"
"What..."
After hearing this, Jin Yuhou was shocked.
Although the third level of Tongtian Bridge is not worth mentioning compared with His Highness Yang Wu in front of him, even if he participates in the battle of the strongest universe-level warriors, he can generally make it into the top 100 in the universe ranking, and naturally he is qualified to join the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.
"What?" Yang Wu frowned when he saw Jin Yuhou's reaction and asked, "Could it be that even talents like this cannot be absorbed by the company headquarters?"
Jin Yuhou finally reacted and said quickly, "No problem! Send me the information of those two friends, and I will submit it to the company headquarters immediately. I think it won't be long before the company will send someone to review it!"
In fact, according to the rules, Jin Yuhou should have sent someone to review it in advance, but since Yang Wu had spoken, he naturally had to make special arrangements.
"Thank you for your help, Marquis Jin Yu!" Yang Wu nodded.
…
Just three months after Jin Yuhou submitted his application, the Virtual Universe Company sent staff to assess the strength of Hong and Lei Shen. Afterwards, the two were absorbed into the secret realm of the end times and obtained the qualification to go to Chaos City for thirty years of meditation.
Yang Wu, on the other hand, continued to stay on Earth and practiced hard.
Whether it is the understanding of the laws or the practice of various secret techniques, they are constantly improving.
Time passed like water, and in the blink of an eye, another fifty years had passed.
…
Virtual universe, Yuxiang Mountain.
In the primitive area, in Yangwu Manor.
At this time, the extremely large training ground has been simulated by Chi Yan into a vast starry sky.
Yang Wu, wearing dark gold armor and holding a golden sword, stood in the center of the starry sky, looking far ahead.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Yang Wu, holding the sword in his hand, rushed out like lightning, slashing continuously in the air. The sharp sword light even formed a golden shock wave visible to the naked eye, whistling continuously in the universe.
Then the starry sky scene disappeared.
Yang Wu also turned into a stream of light and landed in front of a figure carrying a golden sword.
This figure is Yang Wuxin's new teacher, the ultimate powerful king, King Jianhuang.
"Please give me some comments, teacher!" Yang Wu said respectfully to King Jianhuang.
"Yang Wu, you are able to perform this move 'Golden Sword', your talent is amazing! But..."
King Jian Huang's voice suddenly became very serious: "This style of 'Golden Sword' is based on the law of gold, supplemented by the law of space!"
"But when you performed it, you used the law of space as the main method and the law of gold as the auxiliary method. This is completely putting the cart before the horse!"
"Of course, based on the spatial laws you have comprehended, this sword technique can be made more powerful. But if you want to increase the power, why don't you use the Overlord Spear?"
"This set of secret techniques I selected for you is meant to help you better comprehend the Law of Gold!"
"However, although your Law of Gold has improved a lot in recent years, it is still far from your talent in the Law of Fire and the Law of Space!"
"In my opinion, you should concentrate on comprehending the two fundamental laws of fire and space. As for the law of gold, just give it up for now!"
After listening to what King Jianhuang said, Yang Wu felt a little depressed.
Now that he has broken through to the Domain Master stage, the disadvantage of the longer simulation interval has gradually become apparent.
Although Yang Wu's current talent is comparable to that of a peerless genius that appears once in tens of thousands of eras, his cultivation speed in the past few decades is still completely inferior to before.
Therefore, in recent years, King Jianhuang has been persuading him to give up comprehending the Law of Gold.
But Yang Wu knew the reason why his cultivation speed had slowed down, so he naturally didn't want to give up easily.
