"Disciple, you're about to break through to immortality?!"
The Mountain Guest was clearly taken aback by Chen Yuan's idea and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you suddenly preparing to break through at this time? Your Star Tower's recognition ceremony hasn't ended yet."
"You should know that the Star Tower's willpower impact is linked to the strength of your soul."
"Once you break through to immortality, your soul strength will surge to the peak of the King-level, and the impact of the Star Tower's will will also increase accordingly."
The Mountain Hermit didn't understand why his disciple suddenly wanted to break through to immortality halfway through the recognition ceremony, so he could only advise, "Your recognition ceremony is already more than halfway over. In less than four hundred years, the Star Tower will have completed the recognition."
"If you want to break through, why not wait until after the Lord's recognition is complete?"
Can't figure it out.
The mountain hermit couldn't understand why his disciple would suddenly become so distraught when the ceremony of recognizing a master was almost over.
"Teacher, I know everything you're saying."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly and explained, "Actually, after six hundred years of willpower struggle, my willpower has improved a lot. Now, the willpower impact of the Star Tower is no longer a big problem for me."
"And just now, my 'Primordial Spirit Sword Intent' finally reached the third level of perfection, and along with it, the strength of my will also broke through to a higher level."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
The Mountain-Sitting Guest was even more puzzled after hearing this, and shook his head, saying, "Your willpower technique has been perfected, and your willpower strength has also broken through. Now all you need to do is calmly complete the ritual and let the Star Tower recognize you as its master. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"
"But I feel it's not enough."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly.
In fact, his primordial spirit sword intent has been optimized to the fourth level over the past few hundred years, and the cultivation threshold requires reaching the third-order universe master's will.
This level of the secret technique is already the limit of Chen Yuan's current optimization, because when he reaches the fourth level of perfection, the power of the secret technique will reach the peak of the Universe Lord, that is, the fifth-order Universe Lord level.
As for the sixth rank, it is actually at the true god stage. In the system's judgment, it belongs to the tenth-rank secret technique, which exceeds the limit of computing power.
Therefore, Chen Yuan was eager to break through to immortality, because his treasures and secret techniques had already reached their peak. Only after breaking through to immortality could he continue to increase the system's upper limit.
It's not just the follow-up part of the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent, but also the Sitting Meditation Method, which is crucial to him. Only by cultivating the Sitting Meditation Method can his will continue to improve.
Otherwise, relying solely on the will of the Star Tower, which is less than a second-tier Universe Lord, would hardly have any effect on tempering his will, and would even have negligible effect on refining the fourth level of his primordial spirit sword intent.
Yes, after achieving the third level of Yuan Shen Sword Intent, Chen Yuan began cultivating the fourth level of secret techniques. He then discovered that the Star Tower's will-based attacks had almost no effect, and were no different from using energy tempering.
You should know that it took him tens of thousands of years to perfect the first level of sword intent using his original energy, not to mention that the fourth level is even more difficult to cultivate.
If it were to be refined purely through energy, it would probably take hundreds of thousands of years to reach perfection.
Aside from the Star Tower, Chen Yuan couldn't think of any other place in the original universe that could provide such a high-intensity impact on willpower; even the virtual universe couldn't do it.
The virtual universe is only good at simulating laws. Although it can simulate willpower, it is limited to those below the level of the universe master. As for higher-intensity willpower impacts, it simply cannot be simulated.
Therefore, Chen Yuan only had two paths before him: either to be content with the status quo and peacefully waste four hundred years, or to take a risk and gamble that his will would not be broken by the Star Tower.
As long as you can hold on for a while, and your proficiency in Yuan Shen Sword Intent and the Sitting Meditation Technique increases, there shouldn't be any major surprises.
Of course, Chen Yuan wouldn't just break through without investigating anything. He needed to know at least what level of will the Star Tower's impact was during the Immortal-level recognition ceremony. If it was only at the fourth level, it wouldn't be enough to break his third-level will, but if it was at the fifth level, he would need to think it over carefully.
So Chen Yuan said, "Teacher, I previously learned from the Divine Eye Secret Technique that the will of the Lord of the Universe can be divided into five stages, is that right?"
"That's right."
Although the Mountain-Sitting Guest did not understand what his disciple was trying to say, he nodded and explained earnestly, "In fact, these five stages can also represent five levels of the power of the Lord of the Universe."
"Actually, there is a sixth rank above the fifth rank, but that is barely enough to reach the level of the strongest beings in the universe."
Chen Yuan nodded and then asked, "Then, teacher, if I break through to Immortality and my soul level soars to the peak of the King-Sealing Realm, what level of power would the Star Tower's impact on my will be equivalent to that of a Universe Lord?"
"Fifth tier!"
The words of the mountain hermit made Chen Yuan's heart sink, but the other party immediately added, "But it's not about immediately reaching the fifth level; it's about a gradual process of improvement."
At this point, the Mountain Guest shook his head, his tone helpless: "It's a pity that you let me remove the restrictions on the Tower Beads before. Now the intensity of the Star Tower's will impact has reached the peak of the first tier."
"If you break through to immortality, the impact of the Star Tower's will will not immediately reach the fifth level, but it will unleash an intensity comparable to the third level, and will rise to the fourth level within a dozen years."
"The strength of the fourth tier will be maintained for about a hundred years, eventually entering the fifth tier and slowly reaching the peak of the fifth tier."
After the hermit finished speaking, he thought it would dissuade his disciple, but to his surprise, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "The time limit for the third and fourth tiers can actually be maintained for over a hundred years? That's wonderful!"
Hearing this, even the Mountain Guest was taken aback. Then Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Teacher, if that's the case, then this disciple is confident that I can withstand the test of the Star Tower after breaking through to Immortality."
After six hundred years of tempering, the disciple's will has entered the third level, and he can continue to temper it with the upgraded Star Tower!
?
"Already at level three?"
Upon hearing this, the Mountain Guest was genuinely surprised. This was the will of a universe master, how could it be upgraded so easily?
He was unaware that his disciple's spiritual cultivation had just broken through to a new level and was making rapid progress.
Even without cultivation methods, one can continue to improve simply by tempering one's will.
If one has a matching cultivation method, their willpower will improve even more rapidly.
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded. "With my level of willpower, I can withstand the impact of a fourth-order will for a long time. As long as my willpower breaks through to the fourth order, the Star Tower's test will be nothing to fear."
"But you only have a little over a hundred years," the Mountain Hermit couldn't help but say. "You think you can break through to the fourth level of willpower in just over a hundred years?"
"If I say it's possible," Chen Yuan smiled, "would Master believe me?"
The mountain dweller gave his apprentice a deep look and nodded: "I believe you."
"Then thank you for your trust, Teacher." Chen Yuan smiled. "By the way, Teacher, I'm breaking through to the Immortal Realm in the Star Tower. Could you please make sure the noise is discreet?"
"Your ascension to immortality will attract the descent of the origin of the universe, a commotion that I cannot conceal."
The mountain dweller shook his head repeatedly and said decisively, "Not only that, but for a period of time after your breakthrough, I cannot even stay here."
Just kidding. You have to know that the arrival of the Sea of Primal Laws means that the primordial will of the universe will also be paying attention to this place. Given his status, how could he dare to linger under the nose of the primordial will?
Regardless of whether he violated the rules of the universe, the Mountain-Sitting Guest would never give the original will a chance to punish him. The simplest way was to stay away from the original will's "sight".
Therefore, even if his disciple wants to break through here, he will stay until the disciple succeeds, and then leave as soon as possible before the ocean of laws descends.
"But don't worry, my disciple."
After refusing his disciple, the Mountain Hermit continued, "You are now in the core of the Star Tower. No one can enter this place. Even if the strongest person in the universe came, they would not be able to shake the Star Tower in the slightest."
"So, you can break through with confidence. Even if a powerful figure comes, they will only question the immortals wandering outside, and they will definitely not be able to find you."
Seeing that the teacher had said so, Chen Yuan naturally put aside his concerns.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, this is a self-operating Star Tower, and its power is much stronger than that of the refined one, since it is not restricted by secret runes.
"Teacher, then I'm ready to break through."
Chen Yuan smiled, and after receiving his teacher's approval, he raised his hand and summoned the original core located in the optimization space.
At the same time, the laws around him surged, and endless gales appeared out of thin air in the hall, howling loudly.
In that very instant, Chen Yuan achieved perfect mastery of the Law of Wind. Yes, for the Law of Wind, which had already reached 99.99% completion...
It's just a tiny step away from perfection.
Although this step was difficult enough to stop countless geniuses, it was as simple as breaking through a window for Chen Yuan.
"boom!"
An invisible connection instantly linked Chen Yuan with the origin of the universe. This time, it was not his initiative to descend, but the wind's primordial law that forcibly established a connection with Chen Yuan!
This is the process of breaking through to immortality, and once it begins, it cannot be stopped.
Once the lower-level laws are perfected, the ocean of laws will eagerly accept you, merge with you, and make you the embodiment of the laws.
As the power of the Wind Law Ocean was transmitted remotely, the 'Origin Pearl' within Chen Yuan's core, which contained the aura of the Wind Law Ocean, instantly began to transform.
A body exactly like Chen Yuan appeared in the location of the Origin Pearl; this was what Chen Yuan looked like after his Origin Transformation.
"When the laws are perfected, the origin takes form."
"Next, it's time to break through the original core of the orange, connect with the ocean of primordial laws in the outside world, and transform into a divine body."
Chen Yuan, formed from the origin, silently gazed at the sky, where a chaotic area was the inner wall of the primordial core.
Breaking open the original core from the inside is not an easy task.
In the original novel, Luo Feng's primordial core space reached one trillion kilometers after its transformation, making the primordial core's strength terrifyingly high.
At that time, Luo Feng had already created a supreme technique, comparable to the 21st level of the Beast God Intent. Coupled with the consciousness of a Cosmic Venerable and the amplification of more than three thousand times the mental power, he still failed to break through the inner wall of the original core with a full-force attack.
And what about Chen Yuan? His primordial core is even more terrifying, with a diameter of 3.3 trillion kilometers and an intensity dozens of times that of Luo Feng's primordial core.
Theoretically, his original core is already close to the limit of the primordial universe, and the difficulty of breaking through it is even more astonishing. Even Luo Feng, after breaking through to immortality, would be helpless when faced with such a terrifying original core space.
But for Chen Yuan now, breaking through the original core is an incredibly simple task.
The reason is actually very simple: the level of the secret technique he has mastered is even more terrifying than this ultimate quality primordial core—the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe: Great Annihilation!
Normally, this level of secret technique should not be mastered by the realm lord.
Even the strongest innate secret techniques bestowed by the primordial universe often have strict conditions for use, which can only be met at least when one is an immortal or even a venerable being.
But the "Great Destruction" is different, because it is a secret technique created by Chen Yuan himself.
The difference between self-created secret techniques and ordinary secret techniques is that once a self-created secret technique is created, it can be easily used by its creator without any conditions for its use.
Or, to put it another way, the creator of an arcane art can easily fulfill the conditions for its release, just like the Great Cataclysm.
Even though this is the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, Chen Yuan can easily use it, unlike the other strongest secret technique, "One Thought of Void," which requires immortality to meet the conditions.
Of course, even if Chen Yuan were to unleash the Great Annihilation at full power, its might would not reach its peak, but it would still far exceed the level of the so-called "peak ultimate technique".
Breaking open this extremely high-quality primordial core is a piece of cake.
Chen Yuan, whose Origin Pearl had materialized, raised his hand and summoned a cyan longsword from his energy, which he then held in his hand.
When breaking the original core of the orange, it is forbidden to use any treasures, so whether Chen Yuan condenses a weapon or not, it is actually an energy manifestation of the original pearl.
Of course, Chen Yuan had been using a sword for many years and it had become a habit. Even if he didn't have a weapon, he could still perform secret techniques, but with a sword in hand, it was always much smoother.
"call out!"
Chen Yuan raised his hand and made a sweeping motion. A whooshing sound rang out, and a sword light that looked like a hazy blue shot out and flew into the sky.
"Ten tribulations return to one, and all streams return to their origin."
Chen Yuan whispered something, and the cyan sword light suddenly burst into light in the air, transforming into a black and white longsword surrounded by seven colors.
"The Great Cataclysm of the Universe!"
As the words "Great Destruction" were uttered, the seven-colored light that had been surrounding the black and white longsword suddenly merged into the sword, and even the black and white colors of the longsword itself were completely fused together, ultimately forming a hazy, chaotic color.
The next second, the chaotic-colored longsword pierced straight into the inner wall of the primordial core space, and easily penetrated the entire blade.
Chen Yuan gazed at the fine cracks appearing inside the original core and softly uttered, "Explode!"
boom!
With a deafening roar, the inner wall of the primordial core in the distance exploded, and endless destructive power extended outward from the inner wall until the entire sky was shattered.
The next second, the sky shattered, signifying that the original core of the orange had been completely broken open, and the ocean of primordial laws descended instantly!
Chen Yuan, whose Origin Pearl had materialized, looked up and saw that the original sky had turned into a pale blue ocean, which was the Origin Sea of the Law of Wind.
In an instant, Chen Yuan established a connection with the ocean of wind laws above his head. As the ocean of laws surged back, Chen Yuan's four bodies began to fully absorb the power of the universe's origin!
Chen Yuan's human body was the smallest, making him the first to complete the transformation into an immortal god body. However, since he was already a perfect genetic life form, he continued to absorb primordial power after transforming into a god body.
As it absorbed more and more primal power, the Earthling's avatar grew larger and larger, until it finally reached a height of 90,000 kilometers.
It finally stopped.
At the same time, his Soul-Devouring Beast clone also grew to a size of 90,000 kilometers, completing its final transformation one after the other with his Nine-Hua Abyss Whale clone.
The only one that hasn't completed its transformation is the Blood Sea Avatar.
As Chen Yuan's largest clone, the Blood Sea has a diameter of 10 billion kilometers. Even the combined divine power of the other three bodies is less than one ten-thousandth of the Blood Sea clone's power.
Fortunately, compared to the ocean of laws, his sea of blood was insignificant, so after only a short while, Chen Yuan's last clone also completed its transformation!
With this, Chen Yuan officially entered the realm of immortality!
