Chapter 720: Greater Dao Body (4)
The Creation Divine Hall stood towering and endless, just as before.
Whoosh! Wu Yuan appeared out of thin air, landing on the ground. At a glance, he saw a familiar elderly man in black robes not far away, smiling at him.
"Sir Emissary," Wu Yuan bowed respectfully. He understood that earlier congratulatory words were likely uttered by this Creation Emissary.
"Originally, I thought it would be impressive enough if you passed level eight of the Creation Tower. After all, all of the nearly one hundred individuals who have entered the tower in history have reached the benchmark of a Supreme Genius. Among them, you could only be considered above average, not among the very top," the elderly man in black robes smiled.
“I didn't expect you to undergo such a transformation in just a few hundred years, successfully crystallizing Creation True Intent."
"It was luck," Wu Yuan said.
"How could crystallizing the True Intent of a Great Dao be a matter of luck?" The elderly man in black robes shook his head, "Previously, you only showed extremely high affinity for the Law of Life, but didn't reveal any talent in the Law of Death..."
Law of Death? Wu Yuan's heart stirred.
Indeed, when it came to the Law of Death, he couldn't be considered talented. Just as the core of the Law of Life was the Law of True Spatial Domain, the Law of Death, at its core, was the Law of Time.
The Law of Death was formed by the fusion of parts of the Laws of Time, Thunder, and Fire.
Even with consecutive breakthroughs in his soul level and hundreds of years of cultivation, his comprehension of the Thunder and Fire Daos remained ordinary. It was his breakthrough in the Law of Time that led to his breakthrough in the Law of Death.
More accurately, it wasn't the talent of his body refiner self, but the insights of his qi refiner self that helped him break through.
However, being able to take the final step and crystallize Creation True Intent wasn't purely a stroke of luck as the elderly man in black robes said.
Since his visit to the Thunder Marsh World, he had intentionally imitated and perceived the spiritual resonance and artistic conception of each Thunder Beast Diagram.
The peace and leisure of the thunder beasts represented life. The slaughter and struggle of the thunder beasts represented death.
It was not long after the start of the four-hundred-year test that Wu Yuan firmly chose to walk the path of a Great Dao.
Before accepting the test, how long had Wu Yuan lived? Yet in those hundreds of years, despite setback after setback, he never once thought of giving up. His determination did not waver in the slightest.
With this accumulation of insights and persistence, plus the breakthrough of his body refiner self, he finally achieved the breakthrough with some luck and sudden epiphanies.
Without the persistence of his body refiner self, failure would have been inevitable. Without the achievements of his qi refiner self, success would have been equally impossible.
Neither could be lacking.
...
"Of the previous hundred peerless geniuses, over sixty percent eventually went on to become true Supreme Geniuses. Among them, quite a few are now powerful existences whose names resound throughout the river of space and time," the elderly man in black robes said, "However, in terms of their aptitude for the Essence Great Dao of Creation, none of them match you."
Wu Yuan revealed a faint smile.
"Of course, six others before you have passed level nine of the Creation Tower’s test," the elderly man in black robes said, "Among them, two even received the recognition of the Great Dao imprint, becoming Master’s successors."
Wu Yuan nodded involuntarily. Six? Two?
This probability was undoubtedly very low. The successor selection criteria of this mysterious Immutable True Saint were indeed stringent. Those who qualified to enter the test location were already extraordinary.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
For instance, throughout the endless ages of the Greenridge Macrocosm, not a single person had been able to enter the test location apart from himself.
"You should call him Master," the elderly man in black robes smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Hou Feng, look over there."
Wu Yuan looked in the direction that he pointed to.
Whoosh~ In the void a distance from the temple, space seemed to distort faintly, as if projecting a scene from endless ages ago.
There stood a temple, and within it sat a Daoist in azure robes, his features too blurry to discern. Below him, countless beings seemed to be kneeling, listening to his teachings.
Suddenly, this azure-robed Daoist seemed to sense something, and he looked over, his gaze falling upon Wu Yuan.
Boom! A vast amount of information flooded into Wu Yuan’s mind.
"Wu Yuan, from this moment on, you are my third nominal disciple. I am Bu Xiu," a gentle voice resounded in the divine hall. [1]
Whoosh~ The chaotic and bizarre scene dissipated, and the entire temple returned to normal.
Wu Yuan’s eyes remained closed, still digesting the enormous wealth of information he had just received.
The elderly man in black robes smiled contentedly, watching from the side.
...
Scene after scene appeared in Wu Yuan's mind.
This was a spear expert who had practiced with the spear since childhood. Initially, his spear techniques were not particularly impressive, but he grew obsessed with practicing, becoming a true fanatic.
His cultivation environment was extremely rudimentary, not even comparable to the Middle Land. Yet he stubbornly carved out a path with his spear, becoming the strongest expert in that small worldlet, and even began to comprehend the nature of heaven and earth.
His spear techniques grew increasingly powerful, and relying on self-created techniques, he reached the Amethyst Cradle phase.
Later, he finally arrived at a cultivation sect on an immortal continent, and from there, his progress skyrocketed.
Void Refiner phase, Earth Immortal, High Immortal... at the High Immortal phase, he stepped onto the path of the Creation Great Dao.
He continued to hone his spear techniques, striking terror in the hearts of Astral Lords. Even Astral Monarchs fell to his spear, while Sovereigns watched in disbelief, marveling at his prowess.
Then, he broke through to become an Astral Monarch. As an Astral Monarch, he was already the strongest Astral Monarch in the vast river of space and time, battling Sovereigns and defying the heavens.
After breaking through to become a Sovereign, he stood at the very pinnacle of Sovereigns, worthy of being called invincible among Sovereigns, until he transcended.
Such spear techniques! Wu Yuan was completely shocked.
Each thrust of the spear carried endless vitality.
Each sweep of the spear carried endless lamentations.
Each movement of his spear embodied the nature of life and death. Even before transcendence, his spearmanship was so terrifying that ordinary Sovereigns could scarcely withstand a single strike.
This spearmanship pierced through life and death, transcending the samsara cycle of heaven and earth.
This ultimate set of spear techniques was known as ‘The Will of Life and Death’.
