Chapter 334: Sheng Ji: You Broke Through Without Pause? (Subscribe Please)

Galactic Central Star.

In just three days, Lin Yuan's inner world had recovered to nearly two billion square kilometers.

The immense power of the world mixed with the power of over twenty billion spatial layers, making even ordinary Tenth-level experts fearful.

"The stability of the main universe's space and countless layers is incredibly solid," Lin Yuan thought.

In the God Realm, Lin Yuan could easily open stable "Martial Realms" between many layers of space, used for the ascension of all martial deities.

But in the main universe, Lin Yuan couldn't do it. The space of the main universe was too stable. Even a Tenth-level expert couldn't forcibly open up a world. At least it required Eleventh level.

And the worlds opened by Eleventh-level experts couldn't last long. If not maintained, they would gradually be restored by the main universe's innate repair ability.

Unless they reached the level of the Strongest, with the power to create permanent spatial fissures, it was almost impossible to open a stable "Martial Realm" in the main universe.

"But these days, the hottest thing in human civilization should be the Martial Evolution Path."

Lin Yuan connected to the virtual network. The headlines of major media outlets in human civilization were all about the Martial Evolution Path.

Before the Ninth-level section of the Martial Evolution Path was uploaded, even though it had topped the Annan Star Alliance list, for the entire human civilization, it was still considered a minor evolution path.

The Annan Star Alliance? Just one of countless star alliances within human civilization.

Even if the Martial Evolution Path's skyrocketing speed was amazing, the vast majority of human civilization's evolutionists and citizens still hadn't heard of it.

But when the Ninth-level Martial Evolution Path entered the Southern Region Evolution List, it could be considered "completely out of the circle."

Regions like the Annan Star Alliance had many in the human alliance, but a region? Human civilization only had five major regions.

The regional evolution lists attracted countless human evolutionists' attention every day.

The changes in the Southern Region Evolution List, even if it was just fifty-third place, or even one hundredth place, would cause discussions throughout the entire human civilization.

"This is also a good thing."

"The Martial Evolution Path 'out of the circle' will increase the number of evolutionists practicing it."

Lin Yuan looked pleased, then opened the information about the number of Martial Evolution Path practitioners.

According to human civilization's regulations, every citizen who became an evolutionist needed to register with the local Evolutionist Association.

Lin Yuan had also registered with the Evolutionist Association on the Canglan Star before.

After registration, detailed information about each evolutionist was collected to calculate the number of practitioners at each level of the Martial Evolution Path.

"First level: 695,634,120,412."

"Second level: 9,254,300,000."

"Third level: 19,650,000."

"Fourth level: 5,420,000."

"Fifth level: 812,000."

"Sixth level: 98,000."

"Seventh level: 2,673."

"Eighth level: 0."

Lin Yuan glanced at the relevant data and nodded slightly.

It could be seen that there was a huge drop in the number of practitioners between the second and third levels.

This wasn't because the probability of breakthrough from the Martial Second to the Martial Third level was too low, but because at least half of the number of practitioners from the First to Second levels had been added in recent days.

The Martial Evolution Path ranked fifty-third on the regional evolution list, with such a massive "exposure" to the entire human race, who knew how many citizens would choose to practice martial arts.

And the transition from the first to the second level of martial arts could be achieved through some kind of "acceleration," which was a matter of accumulating energy.

As for the transition from the second to the third level, it was much more difficult.

"Following the stable path of evolution for cultivation, the efficiency and speed are indeed very high," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

How many years had passed since the Martial Evolution Path was uploaded? In the main world, it had only been a hundred years, yet over two thousand Martial Seventh-level practitioners were born.

It's worth noting. Initially, it took Lin Yuan a thousand years to open up the Martial First to Seventh levels, counting the years of traversing worlds.

Of course, Lin Yuan also knew that most of the evolutionists who could reach the Martial Seventh level within a hundred years were originally advanced evolutionists who switched to martial arts.

Many Sixth and Seventh-level evolutionists had seen the potential of the Martial Evolution Path long ago and paid a huge price to abandon their original evolutionary paths and choose martial arts.

For advanced evolutionists to re-cultivate martial arts, mastering the essence and rules of power fundamentally, they could make rapid progress in the early and mid-stages without needing any extra insight.

"These years of income sharing." Lin Yuan glanced at his account balance, which was roughly over nine million spatial crystals.

These were spatial crystals, not civilization coins or universal coins, but spatial crystals commonly used by numerous races throughout the universe.

Normally, the value of an Eighth-level expert was between several thousand to ten thousand spatial crystals.

Lin Yuan's income sharing over the past twenty or thirty years was equivalent to the fortune accumulated by thousands of Eighth-level experts over half their lives.

"Nine million spatial crystals, of which four million spatial crystals are from recent income. The price of the Ninth-level section is fifty trillion civilization coins, equivalent to five spatial crystals."

"The income from four million spatial crystals means a total of approximately twelve million spatial crystals sold in these days, equivalent to the Ninth-level section being purchased two to three million times."

Lin Yuan was somewhat astonished. There were still many wealthy individuals in human civilization, and the means by which those advanced evolutionists earned wealth were terrifying.

"Nearly ten million spatial crystals in income sharing, it will only increase in the future." Lin Yuan became increasingly aware of the speed at which the founder of a certain advanced evolution path was making money.

Although the process of opening an evolutionary path was difficult, once achieved, it was like a goose laying golden eggs.

Spatial crystals were the universal currency of the stellar myriad races. Although they couldn't compare to human civilization's merit points, as long as the quantity was sufficient, they could already purchase most of the universe's treasures and rare items.

"However, income sharing is secondary." Lin Yuan exited the income interface of the Martial Evolution Path and looked towards the stars.

"With so many evolutionists cultivating the Martial Evolution Path, the benefits I will receive when I make the ultimate leap in the future will definitely not be small."

Lin Yuan's thoughts fluctuated.

As human civilization expanded its territory and fought against other alien races, it was mainly to acquire more land and increase the population base as much as possible.

With a large population base, not only would the number of talented evolutionists born increase, but they could also try to cultivate many evolutionary paths, increasing the probability of impacting the pinnacle existence of the Eleventh level in that evolutionary path.

Among the several peak civilizations, the number of supreme beings in human civilization was the highest, with nine in total, which was also related to the huge number of humans.

Those unique and special lives could easily cultivate to the Eleventh level, but they dared not challenge the level of supreme beings because they lacked certainty.

So, there were many "ancient gods" hidden deep in the starry sky, constantly spreading the evolutionary path formed by their own characteristics, such as the "ancient god" evolutionary path circulating within human civilization.

It was all in preparation for that step.

Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

Lin Yuan raced wildly through many spatial layers.

"I'm getting close to the core area." Lin Yuan sensed the 'calling' and knew he was very close to the core area.

"Probably about another half month." Lin Yuan calculated the time and became increasingly eager.

The sense of calling became clearer as he approached.

"Your Majesty Xuanhuang?"

Lin Yuan translated the call into the language of human civilization. "Is it the Majesty of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm?"

According to the information collected by human civilization over the years, the Majesty of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm should be the former ruler of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

He was also an existence at the level of a supreme being.

"A calling associated with a supreme being."

As Lin Yuan pondered, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"There?" 

Lin Yuan sensed that a hidden breath was lurking in that area.

"Boom!"

A gigantic million-zhang-sized insect nest soared into the sky, madly fleeing towards the distance.

"Insects?"

Lin Yuan smiled as he encountered a ninth-level insect race, all the other ninth-level alien races had been avoiding him along the way, so encountering one was unexpected.

The vast Xuanhuang Secret Realm rendered Lin Yuan's route insignificant compared to the entire secret realm, so meeting a ninth-level insect race was a complete surprise.

"Stay."

Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and the power of two billion spatial layers spread out. Although the insect nest had comprehended nearly thirty million spatial layers, it was clearly insufficient in front of Lin Yuan.

"Galactic Lord!" The insect nest expressed indignation and emitted a strong spiritual fluctuation, then directly self-destructed, its huge body exploding.

"So decisive?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Insect nests had huge bodies, and losing one avatar was a much higher price compared to a ninth-level being like Xilan.

"Does it know I have the 'Memory Poison'?" Lin Yuan speculated the reason.

While other ninth-level alien races were worried that Lin Yuan would capture them and take them back to the human territory, the insect race knew that Lin Yuan didn't need to do that at all.

Previously, when the insect race sent out four invincible eighth-level beings to surround and kill the Galactic Lord, they used a 'Memory Poison' that could completely destroy a powerful being's memories at the memory level, making it impossible for them to be resurrected. The four invincible eighth-level beings fell, and the insect race naturally knew that the 'Memory Poison' had fallen into Lin Yuan's hands.

"The harvest is not bad, probably worth four million spatial crystals." Lin Yuan nodded. This particular insect race clearly had gained a lot in this secret realm.

But now, it all ended up benefiting Lin Yuan.

Galactic Main Star.

Lin Yuan finished his cultivation for the day.

"Right."

"I can visit the Jade Space and challenge the third level of the Black Tower." Lin Yuan's mind stirred.

He was still quite tempted by the rewards after passing each level of the Black Tower. The 'Chaos Crystal' obtained after passing the second level was often watched by Lin Yuan for insights.

Moreover, the secret techniques like "Interpretation of the Void" and "Illusory Reality" were all from the master of the Jade Tower.

"Let's go."

Lin Yuan sensed the 'Jade Mark' deep in his soul, and his mental will followed the mark, instantly arriving at the Jade Space.

"It's been a long time."

Lin Yuan looked around at the hazy mist and felt a bit sentimental.

Here, 'a long time' counted the millennia spent in the world of gods. As for the time in the main world, it hadn't passed much.

Whoosh.

In no time.

Lin Yuan arrived in front of the majestic nine-story Black Tower.

"You're here?" The humanoid stone statue, Shen Ji, walked out, smiling at Lin Yuan.

"Wanna try the third level again?" Shen Ji saw through Lin Yuan's intentions. In fact, apart from challenging the third level, Lin Yuan had nothing else to do in the Jade Space.

"Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.

In previous attempts to challenge the third level of the Black Tower, Lin Yuan had always failed, and the distance to passing the third level was extremely far.

But now?

Lin Yuan was confident.

"Go in."

Shen Ji, the humanoid stone statue, didn't waste any words, directly opening the entrance to the Black Tower and clearing a path.

Whoosh!

Lin Yuan walked straight in.

The third level of the Black Tower.

Every inch of space was filled with ubiquitous pressure.

After many attempts by Lin Yuan, he already knew what the third level of the Black Tower tested.

The first and second levels tested resistance to invisible pressure, requiring the challenger to resist the pressure.

The pressure on the third level was something the challengers couldn't resist at all. The true test of the third level was for the challengers to occupy more spatial layers to avoid the pressure from all directions.

So, the key to the third level of the Black Tower was evasion.

"Last time I tried to challenge the third level of this Black Tower, I opened less than a hundred thousand spatial layers, and in the end, I didn't even walk one percent of the distance." Lin Yuan recalled the scenes from before.

According to his estimate, to pass the third level of the Black Tower, he would need to open nearly a hundred million spatial layers.

Nearly a hundred million spatial layers were probably beyond the reach of the strongest ninth-level beings in the universe's stellar sky at this time.

"But for me now..."

In an instant, Lin Yuan occupied layer after layer of space and took a step forward.

Outside the Black Tower.

Shen Ji, the humanoid stone statue, watched eagerly as the scenes of the third level unfolded.

"Last time this little guy spent half an hour to walk just one percent of the distance. It must have dealt him a heavy blow." Shen Ji thought to himself.

Geniuses were always proud, especially freaks like Lin Yuan.

Even though he clearly told Lin Yuan that passing the third level required special ninth-level beings or even tenth-level beings, seeing himself in the third level of the Black Tower, as fragile as paper, must have been unpleasant for him.

"This time, the little guy dares to challenge the third level again. Perhaps he has made a breakthrough and will be able to walk two or even five percent of the distance in the end?"

Shen Ji thought to himself, already assuming Lin Yuan had made a significant breakthrough, otherwise, he wouldn't have this judgment.

To walk two or even five percent of the distance, it would require a ninth-level being to open nearly a million spatial layers.

Lin Yuan had previously opened less than a hundred thousand spatial layers.

"Truly deserving of being a genius who comprehended dozens of cosmic powers at the eighth level. It's only been a short while, and he has made such a big breakthrough."

Shen Ji, the humanoid stone statue, watched with a smile as Lin Yuan gently took a step forward.

Whoosh.

Lin Yuan disappeared directly from where he was standing.

"Hmm?"

Shen Ji hadn't reacted yet when he saw another figure appear at the end of the third level.

It was Lin Yuan.

"This?!" Shen Ji was stunned, feeling a bit bewildered.

Chapter 335 Micro Universe (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Did he... just pass through?"

Shen Ji, the humanoid stone statue, glanced at the starting point of the third level of the Black Tower, then looked at where Lin Yuan was standing now, finally realizing something.

"How could this be so fast?"

Shen Ji couldn't believe it. He had already speculated that Lin Yuan had made a breakthrough, which was why he dared to continue challenging the third level of the Black Tower.

After all, the test of the third level was different from the first and second levels. While challengers needed to resist omnipresent pressure in the first and second levels, the third level tested the occupation of spatial layers, a rigid standard where you either could or couldn't.

So when Lin Yuan appeared again, Shen Ji was certain that an important breakthrough had been achieved.

If Lin Yuan's strength remained stagnant, there would be no need for him to come here.

But this breakthrough was too terrifying.

Even though Shen Ji had experienced the glorious period of the Jade Tower, Lin Yuan's speed in conquering the tower frightened him.

Shen Ji could confirm that the essence of the faint mental will that Lin Yuan descended with was still at the ninth level.

However, to pass the third level of the Black Tower with just the ninth level? According to the standards left by the owner of the Jade Tower, the difficulty of the third level corresponds to opening up millions or even tens of millions of special ninth-level spatial layers, or simply being a tenth-level life form.

Among the ninth-level beings, even those who had opened up nearly a hundred million spatial layers would need to be extremely cautious and constantly move through layers of space to evade the omnipresent pressure to pass the third level of the Black Tower.

But Lin Yuan?

Shen Ji didn't know how to describe Lin Yuan's tower-conquering speed because he didn't take any time at all. He just took a step and reached the 'finish line.'

"How many spatial layers did he occupy exactly?"

Shen Ji began to rewind the scene, continuously slowing down the step Lin Yuan took.

In the main space, Lin Yuan simply took a step, but he occupied countless spatial layers in an instant, manipulating at least over five hundred million layers of space simultaneously.

It was because of this that Lin Yuan was able to effortlessly cross the distance from the starting point to the finish line of the third level of the Black Tower.

"This... thing," Shen Ji kept shaking his head.

A freak.

Too much of a freak.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Shen Ji wouldn't have believed that such a freak like Lin Yuan could emerge in just one universe.

Opening more than five hundred million spatial layers was indeed heard of during the glorious period of the Jade Tower, but how long had it been since Lin Yuan stepped into the ninth level?

Whoosh.

Shen Ji appeared at the 'finish line' of the third level of the Black Tower. As the guardian of the ninth-level Black Tower, he had the authority to appear on any level.

"Kid, you're the fastest ninth-level life form to pass the third level." Shen Ji squeezed out a smile.

The reason he limited it to ninth level was that among those who passed the third level of the Black Tower, there were also tenth, eleventh, and even twelfth level ultimate life forms.

"Do you want to try the fourth level?" Shen Ji suddenly asked.

If it were any other ninth-level life form, he wouldn't have asked this after passing the third level.

The fourth level of the Black Tower was mostly aimed at tenth-level life forms, and a few ninth-level beings who opened nearly a hundred million spatial layers might have a chance to pass.

As for the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Black Tower, they were all for twelfth-level life forms, the strongest.

The transition from ninth to tenth level was a qualitative change, and even ninth-level life forms who had opened billions of spatial layers couldn't possibly pass the fourth level of the Black Tower.

Because the fourth level of the Black Tower didn't test the occupation of spatial layers.

"Sure." Lin Yuan nodded. He also wanted to see what the fourth level of the Black Tower was like.

Passing it would be good, but failing wouldn't be much of a loss.

Whoosh.

Lin Yuan disappeared and appeared on the fourth level of the Black Tower.

"The test of this level is..." Lin Yuan's expression slightly solemn, "Time?"

With his current comprehension of the rules of time, he immediately sensed that the flow of time between different areas of the fourth level was changing.

Some areas had accelerated time flow, some had decelerated, some had paused, and a few areas even had time flowing backward slowly.

"Let me see."

Lin Yuan carefully observed for a while, then took the first step.

Outside the Black Tower, Shen Ji's expression changed slightly as he witnessed this scene. "This kid's proficiency in the rules of time is also quite high?"

Shen Ji was stunned. Ninth-level life forms could indeed sense fluctuations in time, but they were far from comprehending it.

Generally, only tenth-level life forms began to sense the rules of time. Now, as Lin Yuan took step by step, crossing through distorted areas of time, in terms of the rules of time, he wasn't inferior to those peak tenth-level life forms.

"How did this monster cultivate?"

Shen Ji, the humanoid stone statue, felt puzzled. Even in places with exaggerated time flows, such rapid progress in cultivation couldn't be achieved in such a short time.

Half an hour later...

Lin Yuan's expression turned serious. After crossing the last area of time reversal, he finally reached the 'endpoint' of the fourth level of the Black Tower.

"I made it through," Lin Yuan smiled.

To pass the fourth level, Lin Yuan relied entirely on the two main divine artifacts with time attributes in the God World. By leveraging these artifacts, Lin Yuan observed the essence of the time rules in the God World and made rapid progress in comprehending them. Although he still had a long way to go to fully comprehend the complete time rules, compared to ninth and even tenth-tier beings, Lin Yuan was definitely ahead in the field of time rules.

"Want to try the fifth level?" Shen Ji's figure appeared again.

"Sure," Lin Yuan nodded.

He thought he probably couldn't pass the fifth level of the Black Tower, especially after being cautious in passing the fourth level. But he still wanted to take a look.

Buzz.

After a moment...

Lin Yuan voluntarily withdrew from the fifth level of the Black Tower.

"You'll need to comprehend the complete time rules at least to have a chance of passing the fifth level," Lin Yuan marveled inwardly. Just the initial position of the fifth level, with its time flow reversal, already gave him a headache.

Seeing this, Shen Ji breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although he had judged from Lin Yuan's display of time rule proficiency when passing the fourth level that there was no hope of passing the fifth level, he had also thought that Lin Yuan wouldn't be able to pass the third or fourth levels.

"Alright, according to the rules left by the master, after passing the third and fourth levels, you can obtain one treasure each from the third and fourth level treasure vaults," Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan and said after a moment of contemplation. "But I can give you another choice: you can directly choose from the fifth level treasure vault, but you can only choose one item."

"Of course, you can refuse and still pick two treasures from the third and fourth level vaults."

The so-called third, fourth, and fifth level treasure vaults corresponded to the levels of the nine-tier Black Tower. The higher the level, the more valuable the treasures in the vault.

"I choose to pick from the fifth level treasure vault," Lin Yuan said without hesitation.

To pass the fifth level of the Black Tower, at least an eleventh-tier powerhouse who had comprehended the complete time rules was needed. The treasures corresponding to this level were probably starting at eleven stars, and there were likely quite a few eleven-star top-grade items like the World Tree.

"Good," Shen Ji nodded, then waved his hand.

Three illusions appeared in front of him.

The first illusion was a crystal-clear jade stone. Although it looked ordinary, Lin Yuan dared not underestimate any item that could appear in the fifth level treasure vault.

"This jade stone records a broken path of evolution," Shen Ji smiled faintly. "A broken path of ultimate evolution."

"The ultimate existence of this powerful evolution path fell long ago."

"Ultimate evolution path?" Lin Yuan's mind shook. This was definitely an invaluable treasure. Even if it was broken, the fact that it belonged to the ultimate tier was enough to drive many eleventh-tier beings crazy.

After all, even if the evolution path was broken, it still belonged to the ultimate tier. Based on the parts that were not broken, the path had already been laid out, and the rest could be gradually supplemented.

Lin Yuan had a feeling that if the peak alien races of the universe found out about the broken path of ultimate evolution, it might trigger a full-scale war among several major peak factions.

"The second item is a special treasure, stronger than the usual eleventh-tier treasures," Shen Ji looked at the second illusion. It was a gray long spear, with some mottling on its surface. However, the faint killing intent emanating from it sent chills down Lin Yuan's spine.

"Stronger than an eleventh-tier treasure?" Lin Yuan's heart burned with excitement. This could directly boost his combat power.

How were the permanent spatial rifts formed on small and medium-sized alien battlefields? Did powerhouses personally intervene? Generally, powerhouses wouldn't directly intervene in battlefields below large-scale ones. The permanent spatial rifts on small and medium-sized battlefields were caused by certain tenth and eleventh-tier beings wielding ultimate weapons, delivering blows at the ultimate level.

During certain special periods when human civilization waged war against other alien races, traces of tenth-tier powerhouses could be found even on small alien battlefields.

So, theoretically, Lin Yuan could also use this gray long spear that surpassed eleventh-tier treasures, but he might not be able to unleash its full power.

"The third item," Shen Ji looked at the last illusion.

"This is a miniature universe, completely independent and intact. It was created by the master during his closed-door cultivation over millions of years."

The third illusion in front of Shen Ji was a grayish sphere. To Lin Yuan, it felt somewhat similar to the Chaos Crystal, but much deeper.

"A miniature universe?"

"A completely independent miniature universe?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. What did it mean to be completely independent? The inner worlds of those eighth, ninth, tenth, and even eleventh-tier powerhouses in the main universe were not strictly independent worlds. They relied on the main world and shared its time rule flow rate. To be completely independent, one needed to merge time and space, transforming the inner world into an inner universe. In a completely independent world, the flow rate of time inside was completely independent and unaffected by other factors.

"Once you refine this miniature universe, you can deeply sense many rule fluctuations inside," Shen Ji explained.

In a sense, this miniature universe surpassed the category of eleventh-tier treasures. Only powerhouses had the ability to refine it, and not just any ordinary powerhouse.

"Choose one of the three treasures," Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan.

"Choose one?" Lin Yuan's thoughts quickly turned. First, there was the broken path of ultimate evolution. If Lin Yuan didn't have extraordinary comprehension, he would definitely choose this. After all, a path of ultimate evolution without an ultimate existence standing at its end was an irresistible temptation for any eleventh-tier being.

But Lin Yuan had extraordinary comprehension and had already planned to deduce the martial evolution path to the ultimate level. In this case, the significance of the path of ultimate evolution to Lin Yuan was not that great because he wouldn't give up the martial evolution path to take a completely unfamiliar path.

As for learning from it? Human civilization already had nine paths of ultimate evolution, and Lin Yuan didn't lack references.

The most precious aspect of this broken path of ultimate evolution was not the path itself, but the fact that there was no ultimate existence standing at the end of the road.

Similarly, the second item, the gray long spear stronger than an eleventh-tier treasure, was also denied by Lin Yuan. He couldn't let his two main divine beings carry such precious treasures, and his true body usually resided in absolute safety, where such high-level treasures were basically unnecessary.

So, it seemed a bit redundant.

"I choose that miniature universe," Lin Yuan looked at the third illusion.

"In that case, take it," Shen Ji smiled and waved his hand.

Immediately, the misty gray miniature universe flew in front of Lin Yuan.

As Lin Yuan reached into it, he found that the space inside was only a few hundred light-years in size, but it possessed complete fluctuations of time and space.

"Quickly go back and refine it," Shen Ji smiled. "You'll find great benefits."

"Okay," Lin Yuan nodded.

Before leaving the Magic Jade Space, Lin Yuan seemed to think of something and asked Shen Ji, "Senior Shen Ji, have you heard of 'Xuan Huang' Majesty?"

The origins of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm in the main universe were unknown to the powerhouses of the major peak factions, and it was certain that it was not a product of the current universal era.

Although Shen Ji was not a powerhouse, he came from the Magic Jade Tower and had followed the mysterious master of the Magic Jade Tower.

Based on his knowledge, he might have heard about the Xuan Huang Secret Realm.

"Xuan Huang Majesty?" Shen Ji was slightly stunned. After thinking for a while, he spoke with a strange tone, "You should be referring to 'Xuan Huang' Majesty."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 336 I've Waited Too Long (Subscribe Please)

"Xuan Emperor Majesty?"

Lin Yuan's expression was astonished. All along, whether it was from Master Red Kun Star or the Xuan Emperor Secret Realm itself, it was always referred to as 'Xuan Huang'.

As for 'Xuan Emperor'?

Lin Yuan had never thought in that direction before.

"Yes."

"It's another Majesty, another Xuan Huang. I guess you're referring to 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty," the humanoid stone statue Shen Ji nodded.

"What is the origin of 'Xuan Emperor'?" Lin Yuan immediately asked.

Whether it was 'Xuan Huang' Majesty or 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty, both were ultimate-level powerhouses. The Xuan Huang Secret Realm left behind by them still had not been accurately located by any powerhouse to this day.

"'Xuan Emperor' Majesty was a title the master occasionally learned from some cosmic ruins. It's said that the Xuan Emperor lineage established by this 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty had great fame in the distant past, and 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty himself had gone very far in the ultimate domain."

Shen Ji seemed to be lost in memories.

"In the distant past?" Lin Yuan pondered.

"Yes, in the era the master lived in, almost no one knew about 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty. The master only learned bits and pieces about this 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty from some ruins."

"'Xuan Emperor' Majesty suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason, and the Xuan Emperor lineage fell as a result. By the time the master rose, it had almost vanished."

Shen Ji said.

He was not a true life form but rather like a spiritual device, with a vast amount of memories instilled by the master of the Magic Jade Tower, making him quite knowledgeable.

"'Xuan Emperor' Majesty also disappeared inexplicably?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. Previously, the master of the Magic Jade Tower also disappeared suddenly, leading to the decline of the Magic Jade Tower, and now 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty seemed to have a similar fate.

"Do you know why the master of the Magic Jade Tower disappeared?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked directly.

"Why did the master disappear?" Shen Ji fell silent for a moment. "Now you're a core member of our Magic Jade Tower, and you're qualified to know some things."

"Before the master disappeared, he told me that he wanted to go somewhere." The humanoid stone statue shook its head.

"And then, the master disappeared."

Shen Ji's tone was complicated.

"Go somewhere." Lin Yuan's heart surged.

The master of the Magic Jade Tower was best at spatial manipulation. The vast and endless pathways of space allowed ninth-tier powerhouses to comprehend the complete spatial rules, but they only grasped a certain aspect of true spatial rules.

To completely transform the spatial rules into one's own space avenue was the domain of powerhouses. Even if they were both space avenues, they were not the same, not even similar.

However, there was no doubt that the master of the Magic Jade Tower's attainment in spatial manipulation was terrifying. Just considering the Magic Jade Spaces he opened, he could silently transport the World Tree and the Chaos Crystal to Lin Yuan's side in the main universe.

Even that was incredible.

It's worth noting that initially, the powerful Xia Qin had to specifically command Vice Tower Master Nalan to run in order to deliver the Divine Seal to Lin Yuan. And that was just within the same universe.

From this alone, it could be seen that Xia Qin was not as proficient in spatial manipulation as the master of the Magic Jade Tower.

"Did 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty also go to that place?" Lin Yuan asked.

"I don't know about that." Shen Ji shook his head. "The master didn't leave any memories about this."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan didn't pursue it further. The reason for the disappearance of the master of the Magic Jade Tower was too remote for him now.

What difference would it make even if he knew?

It was meaningless.

If there was time, it would be better to figure out the core area calling sensation of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm.

The main star of the galaxy.

A very obscure spatial fluctuation descended in front of Lin Yuan along the Magic Jade mark.

"A miniature universe."

Lin Yuan looked at the hazy gray sphere floating in front of him, his eyes slightly heated.

This was a miniature universe completely independent of the main universe, possessing its own complete set of time rules.

Most importantly, this miniature universe could be refined by Lin Yuan, equivalent to being able to observe the operation of internal time rules from the most fundamental aspect.

Although the main universe also had time rules, Lin Yuan could only observe and study them from the outside. But facing this miniature universe, Lin Yuan could enter and observe.

The difference between the two was too great.

"Let's refine it now." Lin Yuan immediately began the refinement.

Several days later.

Lin Yuan had completely refined this miniature universe.

This treasure was specially provided by the master of the Magic Jade Tower for the members of the Magic Jade Tower, so there were no hidden dangers left behind, and Lin Yuan refined it very easily.

Buzz.

At the moment of refining the miniature universe, Lin Yuan's mind entered it.

The vast pillars of time rules, space rules, life rules, and many other foundational rules, along with numerous basic rules, were all reflected in his mind.

All the rules formed a stable balance, supporting the operation of this miniature universe together.

"Is this a complete universe?" Lin Yuan was somewhat shocked. Although he had once become a figure similar to the heavenly path in the Tianqing World, the Tianqing World was just a small world in the boundless void. How could it compare to a miniature universe? Moreover, when Lin Yuan became the heavenly path of the Tianqing World, his strength was weak, and even if he faced the essence of the Dao, he wouldn't gain much.

But now, after refining this miniature universe, many rules were reflected in his mind.

Although this miniature universe seemed to be just a half-meter-sized sphere on the surface, the space contained within it was hundreds of light-years in size. Even though it was far smaller in size compared to the main universe, its core essence was almost the same.

"Time." Lin Yuan was almost obsessed, carefully feeling the operation of the time rules within the miniature universe.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary, observing the essence of time, your understanding of the time rules is rapidly deepening.]

Several hours later, Lin Yuan barely broke free from the state of enlightenment.

"This miniature universe is better for me than any treasure or weapon." Lin Yuan murmured to himself.

Although the miniature universe had almost no attack or defense capabilities, it balanced many rules.

This would greatly assist in transforming the internal world into an internal universe, which would be completely independent of the main universe in the future.

The transformation of the internal world into an internal universe was one of the thresholds to becoming a powerhouse.

Why could powerhouses exist eternally? It was because of the internal universe.

The internal universe existed independently, with its own river of time, allowing powerhouses to transcend the river of time of the main universe, making their flesh, soul, mind, and will eternal.

"Master of the Magic Jade Tower," Lin Yuan became increasingly admiring of the master of the Magic Jade Tower.

Although this miniature universe was far inferior to the internal universe of a powerhouse, it was a perfect replica of the internal universe.

It allowed life forms below powerhouses to witness certain scenes of the ultimate domain.

"Continue to comprehend."

After resting for a while, Lin Yuan took out the miniature universe again and carefully observed it.

Time passed.

Xuan Huang Secret Realm.

The Solar Spiritual Deity finally arrived at the core area.

Boom!

The layers of space shook heavily, and finally, a figure appeared.

It was Lin Yuan.

"Finally arrived."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. It had taken nearly thirty years from entering the Xuan Huang Secret Realm to reaching the core area.

This didn't include the end of Lin Yuan's ninth traversal, during which his strength greatly increased, and his traveling speed soared.

It took more than twenty years to travel from the peripheral area of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm to the core area, and then another twenty years to return to the peripheral area to wait for rejection from the Xuan Huang Secret Realm.

Round trip, it took fifty years.

"The gains along the way."

Lin Yuan glanced at the internal world, where there were piles of 'Xuan Huang Crystals' and many treasures and weapons.

Although Lin Yuan didn't deliberately seek out hostile ninth-tier alien races along the way, he occasionally encountered them. Once encountered, they could hardly escape, even special ninth-tier beings were no exception.

Plus, there were some fearless indigenous lives, which led to Lin Yuan's harvest exceeding eight million cubic universe crystals.

"It's only in the Xuan Huang Secret Realm that I could have this opportunity." Lin Yuan sighed.

First, only ninth-tier life forms were allowed in the Xuan Huang Secret Realm. If it were outside, on the battlefield of the alien races, beings like Lin Yuan would definitely be targeted by specialized tenth-tier beings or ninth-tier beings wielding eleventh-tier treasures.

Lin Yuan would definitely not be allowed to kill wantonly.

Secondly, many powerful alien beings on the battlefield of the alien races basically didn't carry any precious treasures. Although many ninth-tier aliens in the Xuan Huang Secret Realm didn't carry any precious treasures either, there were many genuine opportunities to be found inside the secret realm.

The ninth-tier aliens who died at Lin Yuan's hands had all worked for Lin Yuan's benefit with their previous efforts.

"The calling sensation is getting stronger."

Lin Yuan carefully felt it. After entering the core area, the calling sensation increased significantly again.

Apart from the faint tones of 'Xuan Huang' Majesty, Lin Yuan couldn't recognize any others.

"That direction."

Lin Yuan determined the position based on the calling sensation and immediately headed towards the source.

Xuan Huang Secret Realm, core area.

In front of an ancient and mysterious palace.

Several figures with restrained auras stood here.

These figures were all ninth-tier powerhouses who had arrived early. Those who could directly enter the core area after the Xuan Huang Secret Realm was opened were special ninth-tier beings who had opened up thousands of layers of space.

"This palace suddenly appeared, and it has never been here before." A ninth-tier alien with dark golden scales said eagerly.

The core area of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, every place of opportunity contains the most precious treasures, mostly surpassing both the inner and outer regions. And this palace, previously, had never appeared.

A palace that had never appeared suddenly appeared, and several special ninth-tiers on the scene realized that this palace contained great opportunities.

"In our records, indeed, there has never been this palace," another special ninth-tier observed carefully and spoke up.

He came from a peak tribe, with detailed information about the Xuan Huang Secret Realm within the tribe. Many places of opportunity were recorded, but this palace in front of them was seen for the first time.

"But how do we get in?" the third special ninth-tier spoke up.

Nowadays, everyone with eyes could see that this palace held great opportunities. But no matter how great the opportunities were, one had to enter to obtain them. Being blocked outside the palace and watching helplessly was worse than never seeing the palace at all.

"This palace can completely block our attacks. There's probably little hope of breaking in directly," the first special ninth-tier with golden scales frowned.

The moment he discovered the palace, he planned to force his way in, but it was useless. His full-powered strike on the palace received no response at all.

"Could it be that entering this palace requires some conditions?" another special ninth-tier spoke. In the areas of opportunity in the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, some indeed had specific conditions set.

However, these specific conditions were generally common and there were hints outside the palace.

As several special ninth-tiers continued to observe the palace.

Hum.

A slight fluctuation from deep within the layers of space transmitted.

"Hmm?"

The expressions of the several special ninth-tiers changed.

"Who is it?"

The special ninth-tier with golden scales looked solemn.

"The Galaxy Lord."

"The Galaxy Lord is coming."

Some special ninth-tiers had unpleasant expressions.

The information about the Galaxy Lord had been known to almost all the ninth-tier powerhouses in the Xuan Huang Secret Realm during this time. These special ninth-tiers naturally had heard of it.

The Galaxy Lord had the ability to kill special ninth-tiers.

This was extremely rare in any era.

"What should we do?"

"The Galaxy Lord clearly came for this palace."

The special ninth-tiers glanced at each other, their expressions somewhat hesitant.

"Let's go."

"We can't stay here."

After a brief mental struggle, one by one, the special ninth-tiers quickly left.

They were very eager for the mysteries and opportunities within the ancient palace, but they feared the Galaxy Lord even more.

Even if this mysterious palace didn't exist, they could still reap substantial rewards in the Xuan Huang Secret Realm. But if they died at the hands of the Galaxy Lord because of this palace, then everything would be for naught.

Especially those special ninth-tiers whose relations with human civilization were not so good, they turned away without hesitation.

For other special ninth-tiers, whether they would survive encountering the Galaxy Lord depended on luck. If the Galaxy Lord was in a good mood, it was possible to keep one's life.

But as long as they dared to approach the Galaxy Lord, they were basically doomed to die.

In no time.

Outside the mysterious ancient palace.

There was no one left.

Whoosh.

At the next moment.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared silently.

"Everyone ran away?"

Lin Yuan glanced in the direction where the special ninth-tiers had fled.

If it were before, he would have had the mood to chase after them. After all, in Lin Yuan's eyes, every special ninth-tier was a moving place of opportunity.

But now...

"Is the calling sensation coming from this palace?" Lin Yuan carefully observed the palace in front of him.

The palace exuded a mysterious and ancient aura, spanning multiple layers of space. Its main body should be in one of the space layers, while the palace in front of him should only be the entrance to the real palace.

"How do we get in?" Lin Yuan didn't make a move but continued to observe.

Based on the actions of the several special ninth-tiers hovering outside the palace just now, Lin Yuan could judge that they couldn't forcibly enter the palace.

As Lin Yuan appeared outside the palace.

Deep within the palace, a certain consciousness began to awaken. It looked at Lin Yuan standing outside the palace from afar, its expression filled with excitement.

"I've waited for dozens of cosmic eras, and finally, a little guy capable of inheriting His Majesty's mantle has arrived."

Outside the palace.

Lin Yuan was carefully observing this majestic building, spanning multiple layers of space, which was extremely unimaginable.

"According to the information about the core area of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm in human civilization, there has never been a similar palace when the secret realm was opened in the past?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

It didn't exist before.

Now it suddenly appeared?

Lin Yuan couldn't help but suspect it was related to himself.

The calling sensation he perceived came from deep within this palace.

Boom.

Just then.

The entrance of the palace, the originally closed gate, suddenly slowly opened.

"Hmm?"

"The door is open?"

Lin Yuan's expression became solemn. If before, he only suspected that the appearance of the palace was because of himself, then now, it was almost certain.

Those several special ninth-tiers had hovered outside the palace for quite some time and had not entered. He stayed outside for a while, and the door opened by itself?

"Very well."

"Let's go in and take a look."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan had made up his mind.

For him, the worst-case scenario was just losing this divine soul. As for whether it would affect his true body, with the God-sealing Bead bestowed by Xia Qin, even if a twelfth-tier powerhouse wanted to completely kill Lin Yuan, it would be impossible.

The origin of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm was mysterious, and even the ultimate existence couldn't lock its coordinates. But that didn't mean it was scarier than the supreme beings.

If what the stone statue Sheng Ji said was correct, the 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm had disappeared for countless ages, and during the era of the owner of the Magic Jade Tower, it had almost been forgotten.

How many means could be left now?

However, before entering the palace.

Lin Yuan took out a drop of blood and put all the treasures he had obtained in the secret realm into a spatial ring. Then he sent both to the depths of the layers of space.

In this way, even if an extreme situation occurred and Lin Yuan's divine soul fell in the palace,

that drop of blood could quickly 'resurrect' and leave the Xuan Huang Secret Realm with the treasures inside the spatial ring.

It wouldn't be a wasted trip.

"Let's go in."

Lin Yuan's thoughts converged, and he strode into the palace.

When Lin Yuan completely entered the palace, the originally opened door slowly closed,

and the majestic palace began to rapidly dissolve, eventually disappearing in place.

If those several special ninth-tiers who had fled returned, they would find that the mysterious palace had completely disappeared.

As if it had never appeared.

However, given the reputation of the Galaxy Lord, those special ninth-tiers who fled wouldn't dare to approach the location where Lin Yuan had appeared.

Lin Yuan entered the palace.

Feeling the obscure spatial fluctuations, he couldn't help but think to himself, "I should be far from the main spatial layer of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm now. I wonder which layer of space I'm in."

The number of layers of space in the Xuan Huang Secret Realm far exceeded that of the Divine Realm. Lin Yuan, who occupied over twenty billion layers of space, couldn't see the end.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan looked around. This was a vast plain, silent. In the center of the plain, there was also a palace.

Similar to the palace outside, but much gentler in atmosphere.

"The Xuan Emperor's Hall?"

Lin Yuan noticed the surface of the palace columns, engraved with three complex characters.

Although they weren't any script Lin Yuan had encountered, it was as fundamental as the Dao, and he could understand the meaning at a glance.

"It really is the Xuan Emperor lineage."

Lin Yuan's heart settled slightly. The stone statue Sheng Ji had mentioned a few details about the Xuan Emperor lineage. Although the information was limited, it confirmed that the Xuan Emperor lineage was not an extreme evil force.

In fact, through the 'Xuan Huang' evolutionary path, Lin Yuan could also sense the existence that created this evolutionary path. With such profound and broad-minded character, why would they intentionally leave traps for future generations? Such a powerhouse should be disdainful of doing so.

Soon.

Lin Yuan walked to the front of the Xuan Emperor's Hall.

At this moment, the palace didn't give Lin Yuan any sense of oppression, as if it were an ordinary palace.

Standing in front of the palace, the calling sensation Lin Yuan felt almost materialized.

"Child, come in." Just then, an old voice came from inside the palace.

Lin Yuan didn't hesitate and stepped into the palace with large strides.

Deep in the palace, a figure with a size of tens of meters was sitting cross-legged.

"Child, you must have many doubts in your heart right now." The figure, resembling a humanoid with six arms and wrinkled skin, smiled at Lin Yuan.

"I can't sense any breath from the other party?" Lin Yuan's face became more solemn.

Even an eleventh-tier powerhouse wouldn't give Lin Yuan such a feeling; at most, they would just be unbeatable and impossible to contend with.

"Could he be twelfth-tier?" Lin Yuan looked solemnly at the figure before him. He had seen supreme beings like Xia Qin, but only in virtual worlds.

As for meeting in reality, it had never happened.

"Child, don't be nervous. Since you've cultivated His Majesty's evolutionary path, it's like being His Majesty's successor. I won't cause you any harm," the six-armed figure said with a smile.

"His Majesty's evolutionary path?" Lin Yuan had anticipated this. The calling sensation he felt stemmed from the Xuan Huang evolutionary path he practiced, which was related to the legendary 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty and the Xuan Huang Secret Realm.

As early as when he learned about the 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty from the stone statue Sheng Ji, Lin Yuan had speculated that the 'Xuan Huang' evolutionary path was the path followed by that 'Xuan Emperor' Majesty.

"That's right."

"For countless ages, I've left the first half of the 'Xuan Huang' evolutionary path in many locations of the secret realm, but unfortunately, to this day, not a single creature has comprehended the first half and entered the Xuan Huang Secret Realm," the six-armed figure said with a tone of lamentation.

"Not a single creature?" Lin Yuan looked puzzled.

Although the 'Xuan Huang' evolutionary path was obscure and difficult to understand, if a ninth-tier powerhouse forcibly tried to comprehend it, there was still a chance to grasp it, albeit taking more time.

When Lin Yuan first comprehended the 'Xuan Huang' evolutionary path in the Seven Star Cave world, it didn't take too long.

"That's right."

"The 'Xuan Huang' evolutionary path was created by His Majesty. Only those life forms whose foundations haven't been established have the possibility of comprehending this evolutionary path."

"If the foundation is established, even if they're ultimate beings, they can't comprehend it."

The six-armed figure spoke slowly.

What does it mean to have an established foundation? According to human civilization's definition, that would be sixth-tier.

To advance to the sixth tier, one must determine their core evolutionary path and then achieve a hundred percent harmony with their own soul.

So theoretically, every sixth-tier powerhouse had already confirmed their foundation.

Of course, even if the foundation had been established, under certain circumstances, it could still be changed. Sixth and seventh-tier evolvers of human civilization had attempted to switch to other evolutionary paths.

But according to the six-armed figure, the requirement for comprehending the Xuan Huang evolutionary path was exceptionally strict. Once the foundation was established, it was impossible to comprehend.

"I see."

Lin Yuan's expression became enlightened. No wonder the Galaxy Lord, after obtaining the Xuan Huang evolutionary path for tens of thousands of years, had still not achieved anything. The reason was here.

"In fact, I can sense that outside the secret realm, there are some creatures who have practiced the Xuan Huang evolutionary path to the entry level, but they are too weak to even qualify for the calling sensation," the six-armed figure sighed.

Lin Yuan nodded.

He wasn't the first one to comprehend the Xuan Huang evolutionary path. Thousands of years ago, the Galaxy Lord's disciple also comprehended it.

But—

The growth of a powerhouse is full of twists and turns.

To qualify for entry into the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, one must be at least invincible at the eighth tier, or even most of the powerhouses entering the Xuan Huang Secret Realm are at the ninth tier.

And how many lives could give birth to a ninth-tier? One hundred million? One billion? Ten billion? One hundred billion? One trillion?

Much more than that.

The number of life planets in the Red Kun Domain exceeded one million, and according to the standards of the Canglan Star, there were five hundred billion permanent residents, which was five quadrillion citizens.

In fact, the true number of citizens in the Red Kun Domain was much higher. Citizens on some higher-level life planets alone would far exceed this number.

And it's not just on life planets that citizens reside; some resource planets and special planets also have a large number of permanent residents.

But since the opening of the Red Kun Domain until now, not a single ninth-tier powerhouse has been born.

To enter the Xuan Huang evolutionary path, the most important thing is to be compatible with this path.

Just this alone screens out the vast majority of people. Those who barely comprehend the path, if they want to continue to cultivate and reach the seventh, eighth, or even ninth tiers,

it's as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Most importantly, most powerhouses, after realizing they can't comprehend the Xuan Huang evolutionary path, will no longer pay attention to it. Like the Galaxy Lord, who values the Xuan Huang evolutionary path extremely, they are still the minority.

And even if they value it, it's useless. They have to cultivate to the invincible eighth tier or even ninth tier.

These constraints, individually, might seem achievable, but taken together... just look at the tone of the six-armed figure.

Lin Yuan was the first since the Xuan Huang Secret Realm opened.

"But it's very fortunate that I waited for you," the six-armed figure said, looking at Lin Yuan.

"Are you a supreme being?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment, asking his own question.

"I am not a supreme being," the six-armed figure said with a slight pause, shaking its head. "I am merely the consciousness condensed by this secret realm."

"The consciousness condensed by the secret realm?" Lin Yuan understood with a little thought.

Although the Xuan Huang Secret Realm is called a secret realm, it could easily be considered a world. And the so-called consciousness condensed by the secret realm is similar to the world consciousness, or even the heavenly path.

In the Tianqing World, Lin Yuan replaced the world consciousness with the consciousness of the Ancestral Demon Tree, becoming the heavenly path of that world.

Over the years, the consciousness of the Ancestral Demon Tree had always carried out Lin Yuan's orders.

The six-armed figure in front of him was probably the same, upholding the commands left by the Xuan Emperor Majesty over the long years.

"In the beginning, His Majesty opened thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Xuan Huang Secret Realms, leaving behind corresponding inheritances. I wonder how many are left now?" The six-armed figure spoke with a tone of reminiscence.

Lin Yuan was a bit speechless at this.

Even supreme beings couldn't lock onto the coordinates of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, yet there were thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three of them?

Lin Yuan was well aware of the depth of the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, which, rather than being called a secret realm, was more appropriately called the Xuan Huang World, with a depth far surpassing that of the divine worlds.

"But all that's in the past. After His Majesty disappeared, the Xuan Huang Secret Realm lost its power source and will gradually decline. If you hadn't appeared, it would have been tens of trillions of years, maybe even half a universe epoch, before I fell into a deep sleep along with the secret realm."

The six-armed figure said.

Tens of billions of years?

Lin Yuan looked at the six-armed figure.

But for eternal and immortal supreme beings, tens of billions of years truly wasn't much.

The Xuan Huang Secret Realm was created by the Xuan Emperor Majesty, and unless something unexpected happened, it should continue to exist alongside the Xuan Emperor Majesty forever.

In fact, not just worlds, even the universe would decay one day, which was the origin of cosmic epochs.

The reason why the universe within a supreme being's body could be eternal and immortal was because supreme beings themselves would often intervene and adjust.

"Whether I fall into a deep sleep or directly perish doesn't matter, but His Majesty's inheritance, His Majesty's efforts, cannot disappear like this."

The six-armed figure's tone was filled with inexplicable determination.

Lin Yuan listened quietly. He knew that he didn't need to ask, the six-armed figure would actively explain why it had called him over.

Lin Yuan didn't believe that the calling sensation from the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, spanning countless light-years, was merely to listen to the other party's 'complaints.'

"You should also be able to guess that the calling from practicing the Xuan Huang evolutionary path comes from the fact that, anyone who successfully enters the Xuan Huang evolutionary path can be considered a successor to His Majesty."

"But to truly inherit His Majesty's legacy, being a successor alone is far from enough."

The six-armed figure looked at Lin Yuan. "It requires passing the numerous tests set by His Majesty."

"Understood."

Lin Yuan said.

The nine-layer black tower left by the Lord of the Devil Jade Palace also required passing through each layer to obtain the corresponding rewards.

Lin Yuan was already familiar with this.

Even in human civilization and among the major peak tribes, if you wanted to obtain something, you had to pass some tests.

"Do I need to pass those tests?" Lin Yuan immediately asked.

"What tests?" The six-armed figure fell silent, looking at Lin Yuan with an unusual expression.

"His Majesty set up sixty-eight low-level tests, twenty-five mid-level tests, and six high-level tests."

"Only those who pass all the tests can inherit everything from the Xuan Huang Secret Realm, including the treasures and legacies of the Xuan Huang lineage."

The six-armed figure paused for a moment after saying this. "But for you, there's no need for such trouble."

The six-armed figure gazed at Lin Yuan. As the 'heavenly path' of this realm, everything Lin Yuan did in the secret realm couldn't escape its notice.

Apart from other things, just the number of spatial layers Lin Yuan occupied made the six-armed figure unable to help but be shocked.

This Xuan Huang Secret Realm could only accommodate invincible eighth tiers and ninth-tier life forms, so all the tests formulated by the Xuan Emperor Majesty were aimed at life forms of the ninth tier.

But Lin Yuan?

What could be targeted?

What tests could be taken?

"No need for such trouble?"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"That's right."

The six-armed figure waved its right hand, and a sandy-yellow crystal appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

The aura of the sandy-yellow crystal was exceptionally pure, far surpassing the Xuan Huang crystal, faintly connected to the entire Xuan Huang Secret Realm.

Looking at Lin Yuan, the six-armed figure said, "You only need to refine this secret realm core, and you can become the new master of this secret realm. Everything inside the realm, including the treasures and legacies of the Xuan Emperor lineage, will be yours."
