The Fourth Original Witch World, Wu Yuan's Void Continent.
Inside the Origin Tower.
"In the Temple of the Way, I received a 'Life Law Inheritance,' and there was some resonance, advancing my understanding of the True Domain Way. However, the Life Law is still quite vague," Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.
After the battle between heaven and earth, he immersed himself in cultivation once again.
Facing the bottleneck of the Way of Life, Wu Yuan chose the Temple of the Way and used one of the opportunities given by Kua Chi Master.
However, reality told Wu Yuan that, in a sense, the Temple of the Way, like the "Qiankun Divine Stele" of the Lin Xian Pavilion, could only guide cultivators in their cultivation and was not omnipotent.
"Life Law, life." Wu Yuan struggled to recall, comprehend, and deduce.
However, the harvest was minimal.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan's eyes flickered, and his figure flew out of the Origin Tower. Not far away, there was the red-robed woman Cen Jiang and several Refining Virtual Feathermen waiting respectfully.
They were waiting for him.
"Masters, I have retrieved all the treasures you asked me to collect in the Original Witch Continent." Cen Jiang respectfully said, flipping her hand and presenting several storage treasures. "These are the treasures; please check them, Master."
Wu Yuan reached out, and with his divine sense, he sensed prohibitions on the surface of the storage treasures that required corresponding methods to unlock. As someone who had purchased treasures through the witch realm, Wu Yuan naturally knew how to release these prohibitions.
Swiftly.
Wu Yuan claimed ownership of the four storage treasures, imprinted them with his life aura, and preliminarily checked the internal treasures.
No major issues.
"Alright, you may go down first." Wu Yuan said, then turned into a stream of light and flew back into the Origin Tower.
Leaving Cen Jiang and the others.
"Earth Immortal, do you think what treasures Master purchased? Earlier, in the Original Witch Continent, even an Immortal came to deliver goods?" A Refining Virtual Featherman couldn't help but whisper, "It's probably some precious items."
"Don't talk too much."
Cen Jiang frowned and said, "Remember, we are absolute servants loyal to Master. Master has amazing potential and is destined to become an Immortal or even a great Star Lord in the future."
"There must be many outsiders trying to pry into Master's secrets."
"Don't blame us for not reminding you." Cen Jiang's gaze swept over the three Refining Virtual Feathermen behind her, with a strong warning.
"Understood." The three Refining Virtual Feathermen solemnly responded.
They had all sworn oaths and could be considered absolutely loyal.
However.
Sometimes, leaking secrets might not necessarily be intentional but could be unintentional.
...
Inside the Origin Tower, Wu Yuan, rarely seen not in a cross-legged meditation, stood in the void, looking at the four storage treasures before him.
Hum~
Silently, a large number of treasures floated in the void, including battle armor, helmets, boots, arm guards, swords, shields, chains, and more.
"A complete set of high-grade spiritual treasures, totaling sixty-two pieces, almost complete, costing about a hundred God Crystals," Wu Yuan thought to himself.
He began to refine them one by one.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Facing life and death adventures, Wu Yuan naturally had to make full preparations.
Why did he want to take the title of Sky-ranked member?
Because, with the premise of obtaining legendary foundation-building treasures.
The reward for the Sky-ranked member of the Fourth Original Witch World was twenty thousand God Crystals.
This was a fortune that would make many Immortals jealous.
With such wealth, Wu Yuan could buy a large number of treasures.
As for magical treasures? For Wu Yuan, high-grade spiritual treasures were the limit.
The vast majority of Earth Immortals only possessed one or two high-grade spiritual treasures as their main battle artifacts. How could they be as extravagant as Wu Yuan?
As for Immortal Artifacts?
A random low-grade Immortal Artifact costs over a thousand God Crystals. With Wu Yuan's current cultivation level, even if he had Immortal Artifacts, he couldn't fully unleash their power.
Swiftly.
He quickly refined many high-grade spiritual treasures, several of which were specifically prepared for "Xiao Hei."
"Master, good treasures, very good treasures!" Xiao Hei was quite excited.
The treasures like the Hidden Serpent Feathers it had before were no longer suitable for its current strength.
But what about high-grade spiritual treasures like battle armor and wings?
No matter how capable it was, it could only exert power if its capabilities were enough.
"The high-grade spiritual treasure 'Purple Cloud Lock' guarding the Divine Soul, costing three hundred God Crystals," Wu Yuan perceived the purple chain before him.
Slightly illusory.
Divine Soul-type treasures, unlike ordinary magical treasures, require a powerful Divine Soul to unleash their power.
Fortunately, over the decades, Wu Yuan's body refining avatar, while not as strong as the Qi refining avatar, had reached a perfect level of Divine Soul.
Using high-grade spiritual treasures? Enough!
"In this way, ordinary Divine Soul attacks, relying on Divine Soul defensive techniques and the Divine Soul itself, can be withstood," Wu Yuan thought, "For slightly stronger Divine Soul attacks, I'll rely on the Purple Cloud Lock."
"For encountering major disasters, I'll rely on the Black Tower Pillar."
In Wu Yuan's view, if he could avoid exposing the secret of the Black Tower, he would do so as much as possible.
So, prepare well.
Whoosh~
The purple chain flew like an illusion, swiftly entering the upper Dantian palace and circling around the Divine Soul's origin.
The material of Divine Soul-type treasures was extremely special, allowing them to merge into the upper Dantian palace.
"The high-grade spiritual treasure warship 'Starry Sky Warship,' costing about five hundred God Crystals," Wu Yuan sensed the warship placed inside one of the storage treasures.
This was also a life-saving item.
By using "Source Crystals" to the extreme, it could travel at a maximum speed of "one hundred twenty thousand miles per second."
Hidden inside, even Refining Virtual Sanctum experts would be unable to shake it.
Once fully unleashed, at maximum speed, even ordinary Earth Immortals would find it hard to track.
"Void God Seals, two of them, totaling one thousand God Crystals," Wu Yuan quickly refined these two purchased treasures.
Although he had gained some insights into the Dao of Space, achieving light-speed flight was still far off. Using these Void God Seals now greatly improved his survival ability.
Apart from warships, magical treasures, etc., Wu Yuan also purchased some teleportation arrays, detoxifying elixirs, runes for killing enemies in special environments, witchcraft, and special weapons.
In other words, Wu Yuan had considered everything.
One by one, he checked and refined them.
The more methods he had, the more hidden cards he possessed. When facing powerful enemies in the future, the chances of survival would be greater.
"The most important treasure." Wu Yuan's gaze fell on the last storage treasure.
He moved his thoughts.
Whoosh~
A figure in a purple robe flew out and landed in front of Wu Yuan. Her face was delicate and beautiful, her skin smooth and snowy white, with closed eyes.
Seemingly alive.
But lacking a bit of lively vitality.
"Refine." Wu Yuan's divine sense surged in, quickly probing the core inside the puppet of the purple-robed figure, removing restrictions, claiming ownership.
Hoo!
The originally dormant figure in the purple robe suddenly opened her eyes, ice-cold to the extreme. Then, her gaze swept across Wu Yuan, her aura completely converging, and her eyes incredibly gentle.
"Bowing to the master," the woman in purple robes respectfully said.
"From today, your name will be AnYue," Wu Yuan smiled, this was the name he had long decided.
"Yes," AnYue nodded, "AnYue will do her best and swear to protect the master's safety."
Wu Yuan nodded gently.
AnYue is a powerful puppet proficient in the Dao of Wind. Her basic mana is comparable to a ninth-level Earth Immortal, and her understanding of the Dao is on par with a high-level Earth Immortal.
Powered by God Crystals.
In short, once AnYue erupts, her strength is comparable to a ninth-level Earth Immortal, and killing ordinary Earth Immortals and Earth Warlocks is no problem.
With such terrifying strength, Wu Yuan, after careful consideration, specifically prepared this as his trump card.
AnYue is powerful, absolutely loyal, and even has independent thinking, eliminating the need for direct control in battle like ordinary puppets.
Therefore.
Her price is incredibly high, costing Wu Yuan a total of twelve thousand God Crystals.
To ensure AnYue's combat power, Wu Yuan also separately exchanged two thousand God Crystals to replenish her mana.
It can be said that most of Wu Yuan's current wealth has been invested in AnYue, but the results are evident.
At least.
Below Immortal, Wu Yuan can handle it quite comfortably.
As for Immortals?
Wu Yuan didn't expect to be able to contend with Immortals now; the gap in mana foundation is too great, too unrealistic.
At most, he'll try to see if he can escape using treasures like the Void God Seals.
"However, with such powerful means, I'm just at the Violet Mansion Realm. The Immortality of the Bronze Immortal Token shouldn't be able to trap me," Wu Yuan thought.
All wealth has been converted into effective treasures.
This is the right way.
...
As days passed, Wu Yuan gradually refined, nurtured, and familiarized himself with each treasure in the Origin Tower.
The overall strength of his body refining avatar continued to improve.
In the blink of an eye.
It's been two months since the showdown in the Fourth Original Witch Realm.
After telling Cen Jiang and the others that he would be in closed-door cultivation in the Origin Tower and not to be disturbed by anyone, Wu Yuan, disguised as an ordinary Qi refining realm cultivator, quietly left the Fourth Original Witch Realm and also left the Cang Feng Witch Realm.
"The first stop."
"Battlefield No. 42 of the Witch Immortal Realm." Wu Yuan chose his target.
For more than ten years, he had been thinking about whether accumulating Blood Mist to the limit would produce a Blood Source Bead in the Black Tower.
Battlefield No. 42 of the Witch Immortal Realm is also a low-level battlefield.
...
"Warrior Qianshan, hello, welcome to Battlefield No. 42 of the Witch Immortal Realm," the tall and burly black-armored warrior said.
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
Qianshan.
It's a good name!
...
Different low-level Immortal Witch battlefields were similar. Wu Yuan, who had already familiarized himself with the environment through his Qi refining avatar, didn't hesitate much.
He directly descended to the main continent of this battlefield.
Formally, he began the killing journey of his body refining avatar, no different from his Qi refining avatar's killing journey back then.
The only difference is that the efficiency of killing is much lower.
However, so-called low efficiency is only relative to the Qi refining avatar, and it's only a year and a half later.
In the mainland of the battlefield, there is a vast mountain range.
"Warrior Qianshan, congratulations on becoming a ninth-level warrior and gaining the following privileges..." Wu Yuan received the notification from the Witch Realm.
However, he felt no joy in his heart.
"As expected, the Blood Source Bead seems to be unique to the Qi refining avatar. Even if the Blood Mist reaches the limit for the body refining avatar, there is still no change," Wu Yuan observed the surging Blood Mist in the upper Dantian palace.
"Unable to give birth to a Blood Source Bead, continuing to stay in the Witch Immortal battlefield is not meaningful."
"There is not much time left, it's time to go to the Qingling Immortal Realm."

Chapter 342: Dark Knife Young Master, Hello
Wu Yuan's body refining avatar arrived at the 42nd Blood Witch battlefield with several purposes. The first was to try to make the Black Tower Pillar give birth to the 'Blood Source Bead.'
After all, breaking through the limits of the primordial spirit and entering the extreme realm was unimaginable, and the power was far superior to the same level.
Moreover.
Wu Yuan, considering how quickly his Qi refining avatar comprehended spatial laws, had reason to suspect that, aside from the empowerment of faith and innate talent, the more significant possibility was related to the extreme realm primordial spirit.
As for Wu Yuan's body refining avatar, with a perfected divine soul, as long as a drop of Blood Source Bead was obtained, a breakthrough could be achieved.
Unfortunately.
This goal was not achieved.
"The Black Tower causes the continuous transformation of the body refining avatar's physique, whether it was originally born as a second-class Witch Foundation, or later transformed into the 'Stellar Divine Body' during the selection of three, fundamentally targeting the constant growth of the body," Wu Yuan thought.
"Whereas the Black Tower possessed by the Qi refining avatar saw a rapid growth of the divine soul. Later, through continuous and unbroken slaughter, it condensed the Blood Source Bead, making the divine soul extremely powerful."
"The first-grade immortal foundation of the Qi refining avatar? Just born with the extreme realm of the primordial spirit."
In the depths of his thoughts, Wu Yuan had some insights. The two avatars' Black Towers were continually strengthening based on their respective avatars' optimal points.
For Qi refiners, emphasis was on the divine soul.
For body refiners, emphasis was on the physique.
"When I had a Ling body, my body refining avatar received a great blessing; when I reached the Violet Mansion Realm, my Qi refining avatar received a great blessing too," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly. "Could it be that my body refining avatar will only gain the Black Tower's opportunity when it reaches the Saint Domain?"
These were just Wu Yuan's deductions and speculations about the Black Tower.
The mystery of the Black Tower still awaited further exploration by Wu Yuan.
In addition to studying the mysteries of the Black Tower, the other two purposes of coming to the Witch Immortal battlefield were to accumulate Blood Mist and complete trial missions.
"Looking at the entire Great Realm."
"The only place where I can accumulate Blood Mist safely and risk-free is the Witch Immortal battlefield," Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile.
Heading to the Qingling Immortal Realm, everything was uncertain, and Blood Mist supplementation might be challenging. Naturally, Wu Yuan had to make all-round preparations.
As for trial missions?
The reasons were simple. The original Witch Realm issued a large number of trial missions for its talented individuals at every stage. Some trial missions were optional, while others had to be completed.
For example, one mandatory mission: becoming a seventh-level warrior in a low-level Witch Immortal battlefield.
Becoming a seventh-level warrior is a 'common trial mission' for the entire Purple Mansion Mountain and River stage, completing ten common trial missions or one elite trial mission.
This is the minimum requirement for members of the Fourth Original Witch Realm.
If the trial requirements are not met and a breakthrough to the Saint Domain is achieved, then one is not qualified to enter the Third Original Witch Realm.
Becoming a seventh-level warrior is somewhat difficult for ordinary members of the Fourth Original Witch Realm.
A little carelessness could lead to danger.
Completing ten similar tasks in a row? Each task is a life-and-death trial, and even though the talented individuals of the original Witch Realm have many means, people will still fall continuously.
Because of this, the vast majority of the original Witch Realm's talented individuals take hundreds of years to break through.
Starting from the Fourth Original Witch Realm, batches of talented individuals are selected, tempered, eliminated, and fallen.
Ninety-nine percent of the talented individuals will fall on the path to becoming a Heavenly Immortal every billion years.
And those who ultimately survive are destined to be entities with good strength and luck.
"For the Witch Realm, what they want is not ordinary Heavenly Immortals who will die out every billion years but eternal Star Lords and powerful Star Monarchs that will last through the ages," Wu Yuan deepened his understanding of the mechanism of the Witch Realm's operation.
The more he understood, the deeper his insights became.
"However."
"Completing ten common trial missions is challenging for ordinary members of the original Witch Realm," Wu Yuan grinned. "But for me? I just need the time for my body to adapt, and I can break through."
Because, among many trial missions, there is an elite trial mission that requires becoming a ninth-level warrior in a low-level Witch Immortal battlefield.
Once successful.
There is no need to complete ordinary trial missions one by one.
"Let's go, back to the Fourth Original Witch Realm," Wu Yuan stood up.
He headed straight to the nearest battlefield stronghold.
...
As Wu Yuan hurried through the teleportation array, in the Cyan Peak Witch Realm, the body refining avatar descended to a special dimension in the Witch Realm.
In a small space.
"Master." A blood-robed figure with an indistinct face respectfully said.
"Have you prepared the requested information, intelligence, and tokens?" Wu Yuan asked casually as he sat on a chair.
This was Wu Yuan's personal palace in the Blood Shadow dimension of the Cyan Peak Witch Realm.
The Blood Shadow dimension is managed by the Blood Shadow Star Lord.
It is the core of intelligence for the entire Witch Realm.
As a named disciple of the Witch Lord, he has 'Level Five Authorization,' allowing him to access a large amount of information and mobilize many resources for free.
To note, ordinary Heavenly Immortals generally have eight or nine levels of authorization, Star Lords usually have six levels, and most Star Monarchs have only four levels.
Wu Yuan's possession of level five authorization is already quite high.
"Everything is ready," the blood-robed figure respectfully said. "This is brief information about the Qingling Immortal Realm, and this is information about the entire Baihai Immortal Continent..."
A divine symbol condensed in front of Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan touched it with his fingertips, lightly tapping to quickly check the coordinates of the entry of the Bronze Immortal Command in the Qingling Immortal Realm's Baihai Immortal Continent.
He had already looked up some of this information before, but apparently, the intelligence collected by the Blood Shadow dimension was more detailed.
"Qingling Immortal Realm, one of the seven top forces in the Great Realm, is recognized as the strongest, occupying about two thousand immortal countries and having more than ten million immortal continents. Nearly forty percent of the entire Great Realm's spatial domain is occupied by the Qingling Immortal Realm..." Wu Yuan quickly read through.
The Qingling Immortal Realm is vast and immense.
If only the territory is considered, it surpasses the combined territories of the Cyan Peak Witch Realm and the Thunder Feather Divine Hall, and this is the result of the support from the Witch Court and the Immortal Court.
It can be imagined how powerful the Qingling Immortal Realm is.
With its vast territory and the passage of long years, it has naturally nurtured an extremely prosperous cultivation civilization and powerful individuals.
Internally, the Qingling Immortal Realm is incredibly united when facing external threats, but internal conflicts are also severe, much more serious than even the Hengyang Immortal Realm and far beyond comparison with the Cyan Peak Witch Realm.
As for the Baihai Immortal Continent.
It is one of the more powerful continents among the over ten million immortal continents in the Qingling Immortal Realm. It is jointly ruled by six major sects, each of which has a Star Lord behind it, and each sect has a large group of Heavenly Immortals.
"The situation is somewhat similar to the situation in the Red Moon Immortal Continent," Wu Yuan thought.
When he first arrived at the Red Moon Immortal Continent, Wu Yuan was not clear.
However, after his Qi refining avatar gained a high position in the Northern Ghost Lineage and searched for a large amount of information, he understood that powerful entities like the four major royal families and the Dragonstar Immortal Sect were superior.
This was because they had Star Lord-level powerhouses.
The thirty-two first-class sects on the Red Moon Immortal Continent all had Heavenly Immortals behind them.
However, the Red Moon Heavenly Immortals were dominated by the most top-notch Star Lord, suppressing all others, making the Red Moon Immortal Palace exceptionally dominant.
Compared to this.
The six major sects of the Baihai Immortal Continent do not show a clear distinction between strength and weakness. They all obey one immortal country, but internally, they compete with each other.
The intelligence also included detailed introductions of the six major sects of the Baihai Immortal Continent and many strong individuals, including well-known Heavenly Immortals and even some Purple Mansion Mountain and River stage geniuses.
It can be imagined how detailed this intelligence is. If it weren't for the Blood Shadow dimension, Wu Yuan himself, even with his strong abilities, would not be able to obtain it.
"Master, the coordinates you requested, after our comparison, are in a special world called the 'Leize World,' located in the Baihai Immortal Continent of the Qingling Immortal Realm. In history, a Star Lord once lived here, leaving behind many treasures and a powerful formation that envelops the entire world, turning it into an extremely special place that gave birth to many treasures related to the way of thunder..."
"The Leize World is jointly controlled by the six major sects of the Baihai Immortal Continent. Our intelligence personnel cannot intrude, and the next time the six major sects will open it is six months later..."
"Therefore, we have compiled the following identity information for the master, which can accompany the 'Changxing Immortal Sect' team into the Leize World..."
"The following are precautions..."
"As for related identity tokens, the Divine Virtual Jade of the Baihai Immortal Realm, etc., please inform us of the location, and we will deliver them." The blood-robed figure spoke with utmost respect.
Wu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
The reason why the body refining avatar did not rush to the Bronze Immortal Command when it obtained the Bronze Immortal Command back then was because, after checking the coordinates of the time and space, it found that there was no chance to enter.
Unless it was someone like Houqu Star Lord who could take Wu Yuan inside.
However.
Why would Houqu Star Lord help Wu Yuan?
What is a trial mission?
For the Kuachik Witch Lord, it is a requirement for Wu Yuan to reach the coordinates using his own strength within the scope of resources he can mobilize, entering the Immortal Land with his own power.
If everything depends on the elders, on external forces.
What is the point of calling it a trial?
And the reason for delaying until now is because Wu Yuan found out, after querying the six major sects of the Baihai Immortal Continent, that at this time, a large number of cultivators would enter the Leize World together. Wu Yuan could easily blend in and enter the world.
"Send all the tokens to the Fourth Original Witch Realm," Wu Yuan quickly informed the location. "I will arrange for someone to pick them up."
"Yes." The blood-robed figure spoke respectfully.
...
Time passed.
Wu Yuan silently returned to the Fourth Original Witch Realm, and after instructing Cen Jiang and the others to obtain the tokens and deliver them, he quickly left.
There was no need for any additional preparations.
Because, before the body refining avatar went to the Forty-Second Witch Immortal Battlefield, Wu Yuan had already prepared everything.
He left directly.
Within the Cyan Peak Witch Realm, with Wu Yuan's permissions, all kinds of super-large teleportation arrays could be used.
So, just two days later, the Wu Yuan with disguised identity arrived at the border area of the Cyan Peak Witch Realm and the Hengyang Immortal Realm.
The reason for going to the Hengyang Immortal Realm is also very simple.
"Just like in the Witch Immortal Battlefield, the cultivators who come from the Qingling Immortal Realm and join the Immortal Court camp are standing on the overall perspective of the entire Great Realm. The Qingling Immortal Realm is also vaguely standing on the side of the Immortal Court. Although there hasn't been a major decisive battle between the Qingling Immortal Realm and the Cyan Peak Witch Realm so far, there are hidden conflicts." Wu Yuan naturally understood this.
Although.
The Hengyang Immortal Realm leans toward the Witch Court camp, there is no direct conflict between the Hengyang Immortal Realm and the Qingling Immortal Realm.
The relationships between the seven major top forces are extremely complex.
...
"Once I leave the Witch Realm, the road ahead will depend entirely on myself," Wu Yuan thought silently. "In the Qingling Immortal Realm, powerful individuals are as numerous as clouds. As a Mountain and River stage cultivator, the so-called genius is actually quite weak in terms of strength."
"Just a slightly formidable Heavenly Immortal could kill me."
"Everything can only rely on my own strength."
"I must be extremely cautious."
"On this journey, it's not like the battles between heaven and earth, or the confrontations without danger like the Dragonstar duels. It's also different from areas like the Witch Immortal Battlefield and the Blood Refining World, which are restricted and bound by various limitations." Wu Yuan reminded himself silently.
Perhaps, encountering a super existence with a bad mood could wipe out millions of beings with a flip of the hand, and he would be unlucky to be in that area.
Perhaps, encountering an enemy in the Purple Mansion Mountain and River stage or even the Refining Void stage with amazing cards, using talismans and divine crystal weapons that could kill Earth Immortals.
This is the real meaning of venturing into life and death.
"Once I die, the body refining avatar cannot be re-cultivated by the Qi refining avatar." Wu Yuan was full of vigilance in his heart.
Different from the Source Body and the Dharma Body.
Once the main body dies, it is truly dead.
Swoosh!
Wearing a war knife on his back and a bald beast skin, Wu Yuan, who looked like a sturdy man, followed the crowd and strode into the super-large teleportation array.
Huah!
Accompanied by a soaring brilliance, Wu Yuan had already entered the spatial domain of the Qingling Great Realm.
Six days later.
Baihai Immortal Continent, Changxing City.
As the main city of one of the six major sects in the Immortal Continent, here lived billions of cultivators.
Rarely seen Refining Void experts on the Immortal Continent could occasionally be seen walking on the streets here.
In terms of scale and prosperity, Changxing City was only slightly inferior to 'Changyue City' in the Red Moon Immortal Continent.
Southern part of Changxing City.
Here, there was a massive floating palace complex covering hundreds of miles, standing above the vast void.
Occasionally, cultivators could be seen entering and exiting.
Swoosh!
A black streamer flashed and came to a stop.
"After more than ten teleportations, taking six days, I finally arrived." Wu Yuan stopped, his gaze sweeping over the nearby palace.
He flew directly towards the main gate.
Although this huge palace complex seemed accessible, a slight sense would reveal multiple prohibitions and formations, making it an absolute key location.
Visible to the naked eye, there were many guards patrolling around the palace.
Of course, they were mainly Ling Shen Golden Pellet cultivators.
Purple Mansion Mountain and River stage cultivators, placed on any Immortal Continent, belonged to the elite, and their status was quite good.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
"Stop." Two consecutive cold voices sounded. The leaders guarding the entrance were two Purple Mansion cultivators.
They were only at the second or third level of the Purple Mansion, but they showed no fear sensing Wu Yuan's Mountain and River Ninth Stage strength.
"Please report your identity, just say that someone from 'Qiu Hu Hall' has arrived." Wu Yuan said casually.
Qiu Hu Hall is Wu Yuan's disguised identity origin in the Qingling Immortal Realm.
It is a somewhat famous force in the Qingling Immortal Realm, led by a Star Lord.
"Qiu Hu Hall?" The two guard leaders looked at each other, having never heard of it.
"Wait a moment." One of the leaders entered the interior of the palace complex.
Quickly.
Swoosh! An old man in a white robe flew out of the gate, revealing a smile before he even caught up. "Has the 'Dark Blade Young Master' of Qiu Hu Hall not arrived yet? Please forgive him."
This scene surprised the two Purple Mansion leaders secretly.
Who is this visitor?
To make the guards so polite?
"Senior, you can directly call me by my name." Wu Yuan said.
"Haha, the identity of Dark Blade Young Master is noble. How can I directly call you by your name?" The white-robed old man smiled.
In his eyes, Qiu Hu Hall is an unimaginably huge force in Changxing Immortal Sect. Any formal disciple would have a very high status.
"Senior, I came to Changxing Immortal Sect just to participate in the Leize trial, and the identity is not important." Wu Yuan shook his head. "Just call me Dark Blade."
"Okay."
"Dark Blade Young Master, please come this way." The white-robed old man responded, but his address remained unchanged. "This time, the journey to Leize is led by an Earth Immortal. I am the guard leader of 'Team Number Three' in the sect. Young Master, you can accompany me."
"Alright." Wu Yuan had no objections, casually asking, "May I ask for Senior's name?"
As long as he could enter the Leize World, it didn't matter which team he joined.
"Chi Chang." The old man in the white robe said.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The two of them traversed the palace complex.
Soon after, he arrived at a courtyard separated by walls, with beautiful scenery, murmuring streams, giving off a sense of an immortal residence.
"Dark Blade Young Master, in this team, apart from you, there are some trial participants from other Immortal Realms," Chi Chang smiled, "We will officially depart in three days, so please stay temporarily in this 'Baiqiong Courtyard.'"
"When the team gathers, I will inform you."
"This is the token of the mansion, Young Master, please take it." Chi Chang flipped his palm and took out a token, handing it to Wu Yuan. "With this token, you can freely enter and leave the Cold Light Palace. Young Master can explore the city freely."
"My Changxing City also has its own unique charm."
"As for the detailed information about the Leize World, I will send it directly to Young Master through the Immortal Realm, and you can read it at your leisure."
"Hmm," Wu Yuan nodded.
Not long after Chi Chang led Wu Yuan to the mansion, he left, and Wu Yuan used the token to open the mansion and entered.
Suddenly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Two figures in white robes flew from a distance and arrived at the mansion next to Wu Yuan.
One man and one woman, both incredibly handsome.
"All in the Refining Void realm? Around the third or fourth stage of Refining Void?" Wu Yuan's divine sense was so powerful that he easily sensed the aura of the two individuals.
This level of cultivation is already extraordinary on one Immortal Realm.
"Are they trial participants from other Immortal Realms?" Wu Yuan speculated secretly. Only from their appearance could he roughly determine their magical power cultivation.
As for their strength? It was difficult to judge.
Wu Yuan entered the courtyard.
"Mountain and River realm?"
"Staying in Baiqiong Courtyard, also trial participants from outside?" These two Refining Void cultivators naturally sensed Wu Yuan's aura.
They were quite surprised.
If it were disciples from the native sect, they wouldn't stay in Baiqiong Courtyard; they would live within the sect.
But from other Immortal Realms?
Moreover, only in the Mountain and River realm, this was very rare.
"I'm afraid they come from a powerful force." The two Refining Void cultivators instantly made a judgment, noting Wu Yuan's divine sense aura.
...
"The environment is decent." Wu Yuan stayed in the quiet room of the mansion, silently cultivating.
...
As time passed, in the blink of an eye, two days later, inside a fairy city in the Changxing Sect.
In a large hall.
"Old Chi, can you kick that bastard Nie Le out? I feel nauseous just seeing him," the young woman in a green robe frowned.
"Young Master."
"He is the son of an elder. This time, he was specifically named to join the team I lead, and it can't be rejected." Chi Chang, the old man in a white robe, smiled bitterly. "Actually, Young Master, becoming Dao companions with him might not be a bad thing..."
"Old Chi, don't try to persuade me again."
The young woman in the green robe shook her head. "My Dao companion must be a true powerhouse or a genius; otherwise, what's the point to me?"
"Nie Le? If not for him being the son of an elder, let alone cultivating to the sixth stage of the Purple Mansion, I'm afraid he wouldn't even enter the Purple Mansion realm in his whole life." A trace of disgust flashed in the young woman's eyes. "His whole life, he won't reach the Refining Void realm."
Chi Chang couldn't help but sigh.
"Old Chi, this time, is the information of the six external trial participants complete?" asked the young woman in the green robe.
"Yes, it is." Chi Chang waved his hand, and a light curtain projection appeared, displaying names and cultivation descriptions.
"All in the Refining Void realm, hmm, no, why is there a Mountain and River Ninth Stage cultivator?" The young woman in the green robe showed a hint of doubt in her eyes. "Dark Blade?"
"Young Master."
"Don't underestimate this Dark Blade. He is a formal member of the Autumn Lake Pavilion, with the most prominent background among the six external trial participants."
Chi Chang smiled, "His individual strength may be weak, but with any casual means, he might be able to eliminate Refining Void cultivators."
"Autumn Lake Pavilion?" The young woman in the green robe was stunned, obviously unfamiliar with it.
"It is a massive force on the same level as the Illusionary Immortal Country," Chi Chang reminded.
A hint of astonishment flashed in the young woman's eyes.
She naturally knew about the Illusionary Immortal Country, a force hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than the Changxing Sect.
"Such a background?" The young woman in the green robe muttered to herself.
After a brief thought.
"Old Chi, tonight, when the team gathers, will there be a feast for all disciples and protectors in the Cold Light Palace?" the young woman in the green robe said.
"Yes," Chi Chang nodded.
"Hmm," the young woman in the green robe nodded slightly, lost in thought.
...
The Cold Light Palace is a crucial place in the Changxing Sect for receiving external visitors, with numerous facilities for various pleasures.
Today, in a super-sized banquet hall, hundreds of cultivators gathered.
Wu Yuan received a notification about the team gathering early in the morning. When he arrived at the banquet pavilion, a large number of cultivators had already gathered here.
The majority were in the Purple Mansion and Mountain and River realms.
"Dark Blade Young Master, please come this way." A maid respectfully led Wu Yuan to the frontmost 'guest area' in the hall.
Several cultivators were already here, with only one young man in a green robe being in the Purple Mansion realm, while others were all in the Refining Void realm.
"Who is he?"
"Never seen him before."
"He's probably here to participate in the Leize trial from another Immortal Realm, but only in the Mountain and River realm?" Many Changxing Sect disciples quietly discussed.
They were curious.
"Dark Blade Daoist friend, we meet again." The bizarre young man in a white robe smiled.
"You must be Daoist friend Yunya." Wu Yuan smiled.
The six external trial participants had received information about each other, and Wu Yuan, being the only Mountain and River realm cultivator, was easily recognizable.
"This is my Dao companion, Yun Ling." The white-robed bizarre young man introduced the white-robed woman.
As time passed, the six of them gradually chatted and became familiar.
Yunya, Yun Ling, and others didn't neglect Wu Yuan because he was the weakest; on the contrary, they attached great importance to him, considering Wu Yuan to have a significant background.
Meanwhile, in the hall, more and more people gathered.
"We six are all external trial participants. Who is that young man in the green robe?" Wu Yuan's gaze swept over the figure in the corner.
In the VIP area, there were a total of seven people.
Wu Yuan was the only Mountain and River realm cultivator, and the young man in the green robe was weaker than Wu Yuan, deliberately concealing his vitality.
Suddenly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Two figures walked in from the outside. The leader was Chi Chang, a cultivator in the ninth stage of the Refining Void.
Following closely behind was a beautiful woman in a purple robe, with a charming figure beneath her innocent appearance.
"It's Fairy Mu Xin."
"Mu Xin is here." The hall quickly quieted down, and most of the hundreds of Purple Mansion cultivators focused their gazes on the woman in the purple robe.
Clearly.
Mu Xin had some fame within the Changxing Sect.
"Haha, Mu Xin, you finally came. Do you know we have..." The young man in the green robe, who had been silent on the side, stood up, smiling, and actively greeted her.
But to everyone's surprise.
"Hmm." Mu Xin, the woman in the purple robe, nodded calmly. Then, she walked directly to Wu Yuan and smiled, "Dark Blade Young Master, greetings. I've heard Old Chi mention you many times. Today, I finally get to see you in person."

Chapter 343: Leize World (42,000 Monthly Votes + Bonus Update)
This scene surprised everyone around, and the hundreds of Purple Mansion and Mountain and River cultivators below all looked over in astonishment.
It's important to note that there were many external trial participants, and the other five were all Refining Void cultivators. Yet, Mu Xin specifically greeted a Mountain and River realm cultivator first?
In a sense, it provided evidence of Wu Yuan's background.
"Daoist Friend Mu Xin, too much praise," Wu Yuan replied calmly, standing up.
Mu Xin? He had never heard of her before just now.
However, judging from her performance when she entered, Wu Yuan could roughly determine that Mu Xin's status among the Purple Mansion cultivators of the Changxing Sect was probably top-notch, similar to the top Purple Mansion true transmissions of a sect like the Dragonstar Sect.
As for her outer appearance? Just skin! While Mu Xin appeared pure, the charm she naturally exuded, enough to make ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators yearn for her, was a joke to Wu Yuan, who had experienced the Extreme State Tribulation and possessed a Dao heart comparable to an upper immortal.
As if sensing Wu Yuan's calm gaze:
"Dark Blade Young Master is indeed extraordinary," Mu Xin smiled, radiating charm.
In reality, she was somewhat surprised.
She believed that even disciples of other true transmissions in the sect, when facing her, would have some difficulty controlling themselves. She was accustomed to it.
But Wu Yuan? He didn't seem moved at all. Eyes are the windows of the soul.
Involuntarily, she had a higher opinion of Wu Yuan.
Suddenly:
"Hmph!" The young man in the green robe snorted coldly, glanced at Wu Yuan, said nothing more, put on a stern face, and sat back at his table.
Wu Yuan glanced at him thoughtfully and sat down calmly.
Afterward:
With Mu Xin, Chi Chang greeted the other trial participants one by one and introduced each other.
Finally, Chi Chang introduced the identity of the young man in the green robe—Nie Le!
"Nie Le, the son of an elder. I hope all fellow cultivators, when entering the Leize World, if possible, will help him." Chi Chang smiled.
"Absolutely."
"Of course." Yunya, Yunling, and others responded one after another, expressing goodwill toward Nie Le. Wu Yuan also nodded gently.
This scene made Nie Le even more displeased, and his expression became more indifferent.
Because Chi Chang's actions completely treated him as a 'well-connected waste.'
Even if that was the truth.
At this moment:
Swoosh! A burly man in black armor flew into the hall, directly entering the VIP area. His aura was extremely majestic, drawing the attention of everyone.
Eightfold Saint Domain.
He was a powerful body refiner.
His appearance made Chi Chang and Mu Xin's expressions change slightly, followed by smiles. "Protector Fang."
"Protector Fang."
"Protector Fang." Nie Le was even more pleasantly surprised.
"Young Master." The burly man in black armor nodded slightly to Nie Le, then turned to Chi Chang. "Protector Chi, since not all six external trial participants are Refining Void Saint Domain cultivators, there is a vacancy."
"Therefore, the elders have sent me to protect Young Master on his journey through the Leize World."
"Haha, that's excellent. Protector Fang, please sit." Chi Chang smiled warmly, seemingly very welcoming.
The burly man in black armor sat next to Nie Le.
As time passed, the cultivators who were about to go to the 'Leize World' were almost all gathered, and the banquet officially began.
During the banquet, Mu Xin frequently raised her glass to Wu Yuan, showing a deep admiration.
This scene made Nie Le feel even more irritated.
For decades of pursuing Mu Xin, he had never been treated like this. Occasionally, Mu Xin would show him a hint of a smile, but most of the time, she remained indifferent.
"Protector Fang, what background does that Dark Blade have?" Nie Le coldly transmitted his voice.
Chapter 343: Leize World (42,000 Monthly Votes + Bonus Update)
This scene made everyone around, including the hundreds of Purple Mansion and Mountain and River cultivators below, involuntarily surprised. Mu Xin, who radiated both charm and strength, showed a preference for Wu Yuan, the Mountain and River realm cultivator.
Nie Le, lost in his thoughts, browsed through the intelligence about the Autumn Lake Hall in his divine sense. He was shocked by the power of the Autumn Lake Hall but felt increasingly uncomfortable.
In terms of strength, Wu Yuan was obviously superior. In terms of background, being a formal member of the Autumn Lake Hall didn't necessarily mean he was weaker than Nie Le, the son of an upper immortal. At the moment, Mu Xin seemed to be quite interested in Wu Yuan.
The banquet continued for nearly two hours. With Chi Chang's final inspirational words, many Purple Mansion and Refining Void cultivators began to disperse.
Nie Le and the burly man in black armor also stood up.
Suddenly, a faint voice echoed in Nie Le's mind, "Nie Le Daoist Friend, I am Dark Blade. It's better for the Young Master not to offend me. I'll transmit information about the Autumn Lake Hall to you."
"I observed Dark Blade, and he showed no signs of interest. Young Master, you don't need to worry too much," the burly man in black armor advised.
He understood his Young Master's desire to become Dao companions with Mu Xin. Mu Xin not only possessed captivating beauty but also formidable strength, having reached the Refining Void realm in Dao insights.
"Is the Autumn Lake Hall really that formidable?" A thought flashed through Nie Le's divine sense as he perused the intelligence about the Autumn Lake Hall.
He was astonished by the power of the Autumn Lake Hall but felt increasingly discontent. In terms of strength, Wu Yuan was obviously superior. In terms of background, being a formal member of the Autumn Lake Hall didn't necessarily mean he was weaker than Nie Le, the son of an upper immortal. At the moment, Mu Xin seemed to be quite interested in Wu Yuan.
Turning his attention away, the banquet continued for nearly two hours. With Chi Chang's final inspirational words, many Purple Mansion and Refining Void cultivators began to disperse.
Nie Le and the burly man in black armor also stood up.
Suddenly, a faint voice echoed in Nie Le's mind, "Nie Le Daoist Friend, I am Dark Blade. It's better for the Young Master not to offend me. I'll transmit information about the Autumn Lake Hall to you."
"Hmm?" Nie Le furrowed his brows and looked at Wu Yuan. He found Wu Yuan smiling and raising his cup to him, leaving Nie Le increasingly puzzled.
What's the meaning of this?
"Nie Le Daoist Friend, I am a cultivator who pursues the Dao. I came to the White Sea Immortal Sect this time with the plan to explore the Leize World. When the exploration is over, I will naturally return to the Autumn Lake Hall," Wu Yuan calmly transmitted, "As for Mu Xin, I don't mind. I hope, Daoist Friend, don't let yourself be manipulated."
"I don't want to provoke Daoist Friend, but Daoist Friend doesn't need to treat me as an enemy."
"This journey, we are all members of the Changxing Immortal Sect team, so we can be considered teammates." Wu Yuan smiled, put down his wine cup, and left.
Leaving behind a bewildered Nie Le, he was lost in thought for a while, seemingly contemplating something.
"What's wrong, Young Master?" The burly man in black armor said in a low voice.
"Protector Fang."
"You're right." Nie Le suddenly spoke calmly, "There's no need for us to provoke Dark Blade; it's pointless."
"It's good that Young Master understands." The burly man in black armor showed a smile.
He was most worried that Nie Le would provoke Wu Yuan in the Leize World. Being a formal member of the Autumn Lake Hall, even if he was only a cultivator in the Mountain and River Ninth Stage, he was probably not someone easy to deal with.
---
In the Baiqiong Courtyard, in the quiet room of the mansion.
"Sure enough, wherever there are people, there are disputes," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, "The word 'emotion' is truly intriguing."
Having experienced many things, Wu Yuan's insight into the human heart was extraordinary. Just now, with a little thought, he could discern the situation.
"Is this Mu Xin, with a 90% probability, using me as a pawn, using the name of my Autumn Lake Hall to attract attention?" Wu Yuan pondered silently, "She and Chi Chang seem unwilling for Nie Le and Protector Fang to accompany them?"
"A tiny probability that she has fallen for me at first sight?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
The probability was too small.
Powerful cultivators, each with a strong Dao heart and will, knew that appearance was just a fleshly body, inconsequential. How many would be so easily moved?
Even if charm techniques were used, it was only stirring lust, not genuine affection!
However.
Regardless of Mu Xin's intentions, Wu Yuan had no interest. He didn't want any additional troubles.
Wu Yuan had only one goal—coordinates to the Immortal Land!
"Hopefully, Nie Le remains calm."
"Otherwise, whoever blocks my path."
"I will kill them." A touch of coldness flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes, having experienced countless slaughters in the Witch Immortal Battlefield and the tribulation of the Extreme State of the Soul.
His Dao heart was so strong that it was virtually unshakable.
In all things and various laws, the only pursuit was the Dao!
Having reviewed numerous pieces of information, Wu Yuan had a basic understanding that once they smoothly entered the Leize World, the probability of encountering powers at the Immortal level would decrease.
As for Celestial Immortals?
"In One Immortal Continent, there are dozens, or even hundreds, of Celestial Immortals, but most of them venture outside," Wu Yuan thought, "Moreover, as long as we don't display anything too extraordinary or deviate too much from the norm, where would we attract the attention of Celestial Immortals?"
Placed in major forces like the Cangfeng Witch Realm or the Lei Yu Divine Temple, ordinary Celestial Immortals were indeed inconspicuous, and there were countless of them.
However.
Half a day later, Wu Yuan, Yun Ya, Yun Ling, and the other four trial participants, along with the group led by Chi Chang and Protector Fang, totaling more than three hundred Purple Mansion Mountain and River cultivators, completely gathered at a certain location.
Following that, the entire Changxing Immortal Sect, with a total of six teams and thousands of cultivators, under the leadership of an Earth Immortal, collectively passed through the teleportation array.
They directly arrived at the periphery of the mysterious Leize World.
...
Leize World.
Countless ages ago, it was chosen as a residence by a Star Monarch who expended a great price to propel a small world into an area spanning several hundred million miles. A powerful thunder formation was laid out, enveloping the entire world.
However, later, the Star Monarch fell... Yet, this Leize World persisted, and the formation continued to function.
Leize World was located outside the main continent of the White Sea Immortal Sect.
In the vast starry sky.
A towering temple stood majestically. A violent upheaval of the heavens and earth accompanied a shimmering radiance.
Six teams, thousands of figures, walked out of the teleportation array, arriving in the outer space.
These cultivators.
The weakest among them were Purple Mansion Mountain and River cultivators, with the ability to survive in the starry sky.
"That's the Leize World?"
"So vast. I've never seen such a huge small world."
"Me neither." Thousands of cultivators looked in awe at the starry sky millions of miles away.
Wu Yuan also looked.
Compared to the vastness of the Leize World, it was too close, separated only by millions of miles.
As a result, the entire world occupied nearly half of their field of vision.
Visibly.
The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, as if countless thunderstorms were gathering and covering.
"Quietly wait here."
"We are the first of the six major sects to arrive." The Earth Immortal in red robes stood in the void.
His gaze swept across.
Instantly, the entire starry sky fell silent.
As an Earth Immortal, if he wished, he could completely annihilate the thousands of Purple Mansion cultivators present with a single move.
"This is the token that allows you to safely enter the Leize World. Remember, the token is disposable, and you must leave the Leize World within six months at most," said the Earth Immortal Qihuo indifferently.
With a wave of his hand, thousands of rays of light flashed. Each person's front was marked with a token charm.
Everyone took one.
Wu Yuan also received his and sighed inwardly. Why didn't anyone venture into the Leize World directly but had to go through the six major sects?
The first reason was that the six major sects of the White Sea Immortal Sect had set up restrictions on the periphery.
The second reason was that, over countless ages, the Celestial Immortals of the six major sects of the White Sea Immortal Sect had explored the Leize World time and time again. After paying a great price, they had gained sufficient understanding.
At least.
Uninterrupted production of talismans continued.
Without the token charm? Entering the Leize World would undoubtedly be a life-or-death situation.
A protective formation laid down by a Star Monarch still possessed terrifying power, even after endless years.
In the starry sky, the scenery remained unchanged.
In just a few hours.
One large sect after another appeared.
The six major sects of the White Sea Immortal Sect, each seemed to have a similar number of powerful individuals.
"All led by an Earth Immortal, with dozens of Refining Void Feathered Sages and thousands of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators?" Wu Yuan pondered silently.
He had been observing.
Because these people could potentially become obstacles.
But due to the presence of an Earth Immortal, Wu Yuan didn't dare to casually sweep his divine sense. He didn't want to attract attention.
Finally.
With a clattering sound, another beam of light flashed in the void. Thousands of figures flew out of the temple's teleportation array.
At this point, the teams of the six major sects had all gathered, all led by Earth Immortals.
They didn't make Wu Yuan and the others wait too long.
Suddenly, with a burst of light from the void temple, thousands of figures shot out of the teleportation array.
At this moment, the six Earth Immortals simultaneously flew out, quickly approaching the Leize World. Then, six radiant beams shot into the vast world, like a massive dark cloud.
"Boom~"
The heavens and earth resounded. The entire Leize World seemed to tremble, indicating that the six Earth Immortals had triggered external restrictions.
"Get ready."
"Go!"
"Life and death adventure is about to begin." The Refining Void Sanctum cultivators of each major sect reminded one another. Following that, they transformed into streaks of light, flying towards the Leize World.
Wu Yuan, Yun Ya, and others also followed suit.
Behind them were numerous Purple Mansion Mountain and River cultivators.
"Dark Blade friend, see you in the Leize World," Yun Ya suddenly smiled at Wu Yuan during the flight.
"Yeah." Wu Yuan nodded with a smile.
Over the past few days, he had been communicating most smoothly with Yun Ya and Yun Ling. Their relationship was relatively good.
"Dark Blade young master, don't forget me." Mu Xin, who was flying not far in front of them, suddenly smiled and winked at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan nodded casually in response.
"Ready to enter."
"In the Leize World, I hope we don't encounter elite Thunder Beasts; that would be troublesome."
"Gather quickly and cooperate."
"Everyone come out alive." The six teams, dozens of trial participants from other immortal realms, encouraged each other, as if their relationships were deep.
However, was it partly true and partly fake?
The disciples of the major sect teams were also communicating with each other, making final preparations before entering.
Swiftly.
Wu Yuan and the others approached the Leize World even more. Suddenly, an invisible force enveloped this side of the void.
An extremely overbearing force instantly made tens of thousands of cultivators in this void disappear without a trace.
Even the six Earth Immortals disappeared.
The starry sky fell silent.
...
Hum~
Wu Yuan only felt a spatial fluctuation enveloping him. Immediately, the surrounding scenes became blurry, and when they solidified again...
Before me, there is a rugged and continuous mountain range, with sparse vegetation. The mountains are towering, easily reaching several thousand miles in height.
Beneath my feet is the muddy ground.
Above, a dark cloud seems to shroud everything, occasionally revealing flashes of lightning within.
Surrounding me, there is no one in sight.
"The token charm was detected by the formation and shifted here? Is it random teleportation? What about the others?" Wu Yuan pondered, sweeping his gaze around.
His divine sense expanded widely.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly because he sensed an invisible force suppressing him, significantly reducing the range of his divine sense.
He could only sense an area of about thirty thousand miles in diameter, pitifully small.
At the same time, the invisible suppression in the heavens and earth became more terrifying, making Wu Yuan feel like flying became even more difficult.
"No wonder it's a world modified on a large scale by a Star Monarch at a great cost." Wu Yuan mused, and his figure moved.
Whoosh!
Transforming into a stream of light, he soared into the void. However, he only flew up to a thousand miles, not surpassing the distant mountain range obstructing his line of sight.
"Boom~"
Suddenly, an explosion erupted in the void.
As if endless thunder gathered within the dark clouds in the void, followed by a terrifying thunderbolt roaring down!
It struck towards Wu Yuan.
"Whoosh!"
Wu Yuan remained calm. A battle knife suddenly appeared in his hand, its gleam cutting through the sky, colliding with the thunderbolt.
"Boom, rumble~"
Thunder resounded, and countless rays of thunder seemed to penetrate through the battle knife, spreading across Wu Yuan's entire body.
However, when the lingering thunder dissipated, Wu Yuan remained calm and unchanged.
Apparently, the residual thunder did not harm Wu Yuan.
"Just as described in the intelligence, once you exceed a thousand miles above the ground, you'll encounter thunder, enough to threaten the life of a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator." Wu Yuan pondered, "If you rush through three thousand miles, the thunder that descends is enough to kill a Purple Mansion Ninefold cultivator."
"If you ascend tens of thousands of miles above the ground, the power of the encountered thunder would be sufficient to kill a Refining Void Ninefold cultivator."
"These continuous mountain ranges actually divide the vast land." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
Not many people dared to climb to the top of the towering mountains.
Leize World.
The first danger is the thunder formation in the void, covering a massive world with a maximum diameter of six billion miles.
"Let's go, explore around first, determine the specific direction." Wu Yuan turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the distance, closely following the ground, "Then, based on the direction, head to the spacetime coordinates I want to reach."
If it were the outer starry sky, Wu Yuan could easily accelerate to a speed of a thousand miles per second.
However, under the invisible suppression of Leize World, Wu Yuan's speed could only increase to about five hundred miles per second. Moreover, he dared not accelerate recklessly and maintained a speed of only two to three hundred miles per second.
Heading towards his destination.
One after another, the towering mountain ranges crisscrossed, continuously guiding Wu Yuan towards different areas. The scope of Wu Yuan's vision was limited to hundreds of thousands of miles, at most, not exceeding a million miles.
For a while, Wu Yuan couldn't determine the direction.
However, with Wu Yuan's powerful memory, he could firmly remember the paths he had taken. Therefore, given some time, he would naturally be able to compare with the intelligence and understand his specific position.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?" Wu Yuan abruptly stopped. His divine sense spread out, sensing three cultivators approaching him at an astonishing speed.
"Purple Mansion Sixfold?" Wu Yuan's eyes flashed with suspicion. "What's going on that makes them so urgent?"
Normally.
Just arriving in the Leize World, even if they were to explore and seek treasures, there was no need to be so anxious.
The mountain ranges stretched endlessly, and the earth undulated with hills.
Therefore, Wu Yuan's line of sight was obstructed. However, when those three purple figures appeared in Wu Yuan's sight in a panic.
He finally understood why the other party was fleeing so frantically.
Because!
There are dozens of figures of strange beasts with four hooves, roaring and chasing the purple-robed figure. Their speed is extremely fast.
These strange beasts all have faint thunder flickering on their bodies.
At this moment, only a few thousand miles away, with Wu Yuan's vision, he can see the fur on the bodies of these strange beasts clearly.
"Thunder beasts? Can they evade divine sense detection?" Wu Yuan's pupils contracted.
The second danger of Leize World - Thunder Beasts!
Even an ordinary Thunder Beast has the strength of the Mountain and River Realm. Some evolved elite Thunder Beasts can even unleash the strength of the Holy Domain.
The crucial point is that neither divine sense nor consciousness can detect the presence of these Thunder Beasts. They can only be sensed when approaching, relying on the fluctuations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and visible to the naked eye.
However.
The dozens of Thunder Beasts in front of Wu Yuan are quickly judged from their size and speed - ordinary Thunder Beasts.
"Hmm? Is it Lord Dark Blade? Lord Dark Blade, save me! Save us!" The leading man in the purple robe also saw Wu Yuan, his eyes lit up.
The other two were equally excited.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The three of them, as if they had seen a savior, rushed straight towards Wu Yuan.
"Disciples of Changxing Immortal Sect? And all from Team Three?" Wu Yuan had recognized them long ago.
With his memory, it was easy to remember the spiritual aura of over ten thousand people from the six major sects before. Moreover, they had feasted together.
Although Wu Yuan hadn't communicated with them.
But these disciples of Changxing Immortal Sect were memorable to Wu Yuan.
"Three Purple Mansion Sixfold cultivators facing dozens of Thunder Beasts, no wonder they're trying to escape." Wu Yuan mused.
Thousands of miles.
In an instant.
The three disciples of Changxing Immortal Sect rushed to Wu Yuan's back. The dozens of powerful Thunder Beasts, each with a body length exceeding thirty meters.
"Roar!"
"Boom!" "Roar!" Dozens of Thunder Beasts, each with slightly red eyes, stared at Wu Yuan, charging straight towards him.
Hooves trampling, causing the vast land to tremble faintly.
They are war beasts born in Leize World, with little intelligence and only the instinct to fight.
Wu Yuan stood still, shaking his head slightly.
"Clang!"
He suddenly drew his sword, then exerted a slight force with his legs. The whole person suddenly burst out with ordinary Mountain and River Ninefold strength.
Boom!
However, he directly transformed into a towering giant, and eight arms appeared at the same time, each holding a war knife, with an overwhelming momentum.
"Roar!"
"Roar!" Dozens of Thunder Beasts also roared and rushed towards him.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" The three of them, as if seeing a great savior, rushed straight towards Wu Yuan.
"Disciples of Changxing Immortal Sect? And all from Team Three?" Wu Yuan had recognized them long ago.
With his memory, it was easy to remember the spiritual aura of over ten thousand people from the six major sects before. Moreover, they had feasted together.
Although Wu Yuan hadn't communicated with them.
But these disciples of Changxing Immortal Sect were memorable to Wu Yuan.
"Three Purple Mansion Sixfold cultivators facing dozens of Thunder Beasts, no wonder they're trying to escape." Wu Yuan mused.
Thousands of miles.
In an instant.
The three disciples of Changxing Immortal Sect rushed to Wu Yuan's back. The dozens of powerful Thunder Beasts, each with a body length exceeding thirty meters.
"Roar!"
"Boom!" "Roar!" Dozens of Thunder Beasts, each with slightly red eyes, stared at Wu Yuan, charging straight towards him.
Hooves trampling, causing the vast land to tremble faintly.
They are war beasts born in Leize World, with little intelligence and only the instinct to fight.
Wu Yuan stood still, shaking his head slightly.
"Clang!"
He suddenly drew his sword, then exerted a slight force with his legs. The whole person suddenly burst out with ordinary Mountain and River Ninefold strength.
Boom!
However, he directly transformed into a towering giant, and eight arms appeared at the same time, each holding a war knife, with an overwhelming momentum.
"Roar!"
"Roar!" Dozens of Thunder Beasts also roared and rushed towards him.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" The sky was filled with dazzling blade lights in an instant, mysteriously communicating with the stars.
The blade lights were fast, precise, and powerful!
No need to activate the domain.
"Splatter!" "Splatter!" "Splatter!" Countless blade lights instantly illuminated the sky, revealing the mysteries of the stars.
Eight war knives.
With just one glance
, dozens of Thunder Beasts' heads were either cut off along the neck, directly severed, or split in half.
Blood splattered.
"Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!" The bodies of the Thunder Beasts continued to rush forward due to inertia, causing the ground along the way to crack layer by layer, until they fell to the ground and couldn't get up, affecting an area of several hundred miles.
Only then did it quiet down.
"Although these Thunder Beasts are amazing, their heads are still a fatal weakness compared to true Mountain and River Realm cultivators." Wu Yuan shook his head.
These Thunder Beasts, even if they have enough speed and strength, are far inferior in strength to cultivators of the same level of body refining. They just have a terrifying ability to hide their breath.
"This!"
"So strong."
"Lord Dark Blade? Truly an outsider participating in the trial." The three disciples of Changxing Immortal Sect, who had barely escaped with their lives, were already dumbfounded.

Chapter 344 Thunder Beast Diagram, Mysterious Realm
Buzz~ A hazy earthy yellow light radiated from Wu Yuan's center, spreading in all directions, covering an area of several hundred miles.
"Pong~" "Pong~"
"Swoosh!" Only to see the bodies of those Thunder Beasts being torn apart by invisible force, and crystal stones with a translucent and glossy sheen flew out from their bodies.
Flying towards Wu Yuan.
In the end, under the manipulation of domain power, they all surrounded Wu Yuan.
"Thirty-two Thunder Beast Stones." Wu Yuan reached out and grabbed one of the Thunder Beast Stones.
The crystal stone was entirely purple, with mysterious runes faintly appearing on the surface.
If one were to carefully sense with divine sense, they would find that there was a faint thunder light flashing inside the stone.
"What a magical stone." Wu Yuan felt the power contained in the Thunder Beast Stone, as if there was a thunderstorm within.
This Thunder Beast Stone is a special product of the Leize World.
It is used to make talismans and source crystal weapons related to thunder, and can also be used in formations, with many uses.
A third-order Thunder Beast Stone produced by ordinary Thunder Beasts is worth thousands of source crystals.
If it's the 'second-order Thunder Beast Stone' produced by elite Thunder Beasts, it's worth tens of millions of source crystals, quite precious, enough to drive any Mountain and River Realm cultivator from Purple Mansion Mountains crazy.
However, the strength of elite Thunder Beasts is at least in the Holy Domain Sixth Layer.
Moreover, there are legendary 'first-order Thunder Beast Stones' produced by Thunder Beast Kings that are comparable to the strength of Earth Immortals.
A piece is worth tens of billions of source crystals, one of the top treasures in the entire Leize World.
Even Earth Immortals would pay attention to it.
Of course, for Wu Yuan, who surpasses many Earth Immortals in wealth, even the first-order Thunder Beast Stone is not something to be desired.
"However, these Thunder Beast lives are indeed peculiar." Wu Yuan's gaze fell in the distance.
I saw that the bodies of those Thunder Beasts, which were originally dozens of zhang long, were rapidly dissolving.
Soon, there was no trace left.
"The intelligence says."
"Thunder Beasts are special creatures born with Thunder Beast Stones as their core and have no intelligence." Wu Yuan muttered, "The source is the Thunder Beast Stone."
Wu Yuan has never seen this kind of special life.
Normally, even if a life dies, its body will remain. These Thunder Beasts give Wu Yuan the feeling that they are more like puppets, similar to Golems.
Curious in his heart.
Wu Yuan carefully sensed the Thunder Beast Stone in his hand, and divine sense poured into the interior of the Thunder Beast Stone, trying to explore the secrets of the Thunder Beast Stone.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Three streams of light rushed to Wu Yuan.
"Lord Dark Blade."
"Thank you for saving us, Lord." The three rescued disciples of Changxing Immortal Sect flew over.
They respectfully saluted Wu Yuan.
They couldn't help but look at the dozens of Thunder Beast Stones surrounding Wu Yuan, and a trace of envy flashed in the depths of their eyes.
With their strength, it is extremely difficult to obtain dozens of Thunder Beast Stones. Usually, they can only hunt one by one.
How could it be as easy as Wu Yuan?
Of course, they understand that with the strength Wu Yuan showed just now, it is probably comparable to a true Holy Domain powerhouse.
A battle between higher realms?
In the entire Changxing Immortal Sect, there is no such genius to be found.
"Didn't you encounter people from other sects?" Wu Yuan put away the Thunder Beast Stones, casually asking.
In theory, among the nearly twenty thousand cultivators who entered the Leize World, Changxing Immortal Sect only accounted for one-sixth, so the probability of encountering them is relatively low.
Still, they all belong to Team Three.
"Dark Knife Young Master."
The only female disciple among the three couldn't help but smile and said, "Our token auras are close. Even if we teleport randomly, we are likely to end up in the same area in the Leize World."
"So encountering each other in advance is normal."
"The disciples of various sects and teams will mostly gather quickly in one place. Otherwise, why bother dividing into several teams in advance?" The leader of the purple-robed man also smiled.
Wu Yuan nodded, understanding now.
"Did you record the map as you walked over here?" Wu Yuan asked.
"Yes."
...
In the vast and boundless Leize World, according to the intelligence of Changxing Immortal Sect, it is divided into three major regions - Outer Region, Inner Region, and Core Region!
The closer to the center, the more dangerous it becomes. The possibility of encountering elite Thunder Beasts or even Thunder Beast Kings increases, but correspondingly, the probability of obtaining treasures also increases.
Time passed.
Although Wu Yuan's strength is astonishing, he is not in a hurry. Along the way, he encountered many disciples of Changxing Immortal Sect.
Most of them were from Team Three.
After exchanging information, these disciples mostly chose to follow Wu Yuan.
Along the way, they encountered disciples from other sects, but everyone tacitly avoided conflicts.
Although Leize World prohibits killing, and the ordinary cultivators, even those in the Immortal Realm or even the Divine Void Realm, cannot use their powers due to the suppression of the Leize World formation, they must rely on the 'Green Spirit Immortal Realm.'
The information of ordinary disciples can't be transmitted outside.
However, without significant treasures, there is usually no need for bloodshed.
As for occasional encounters with Thunder Beasts, they were mostly killed by the gathered disciples of Changxing Immortal Sect. Wu Yuan didn't bother with some Thunder-type treasures, such as spirit herbs, special ores, and so on. They were all taken by these disciples.
Four days passed.
In the undulating mountainous land, they traveled three million miles, but the straight-line distance was probably only a few million miles.
On the wilderness.
"Friend Dark Knife, judging by your appearance, you probably won't just wander in the peripheral areas. Carrying these burdens all the way, our progress is too slow." A handsome young man in a white robe, 'Cloud Tooth,' communicated through sound.
Beside him was his dao companion, Yun Ling.
"What does Friend Cloud Tooth mean?" Wu Yuan responded.
Yesterday, the team led by Wu Yuan encountered Cloud Tooth and Yun Ling. Both sides chose to travel together.
"Based on the map information we have gathered in this location."
"We are currently in the 163rd region of the Outer Region," Cloud Tooth said. "If we continue forward, we should see the stone wall patterns of this region. After passing through a mountain range, we can enter the Inner Region."
"The Inner Region holds some meaning of life and death challenges for us."
"At that time, we can completely cooperate in advancing together." Cloud Tooth smiled, appearing sincere.
"Cooperate? In the Inner Region?"
Wu Yuan smiled and nodded, "Let's wait until we reach the stone wall patterns and observe before deciding."
"Alright," Cloud Tooth said.
He understood Wu Yuan's thoughts. People like them, who came from other immortal realms for trials, mostly came for the stone wall patterns.
"Stone wall patterns?" Wu Yuan also felt a mysterious anticipation.
Apart from the numerous Thunder Beasts and Thunder lineage treasures, what attracted countless strong beings to the Leize World for billions of years?
It was the stone wall patterns that covered the entire world!
These were left behind by a powerful Star Sovereign in ancient times.
"According to the information I obtained, the ancient 'Myriad Thunder Star Sovereign' from that year was extraordinarily powerful, definitely the top existence among Star Sovereigns," Wu Yuan thought to himself.
"The Leize World he painstakingly left behind is very special."
Wu Yuan had two monarchs standing at the pinnacle of the Great Realm as mentors. While the monarchs' strength far surpassed that of Star Sovereigns, it didn't mean they were stronger in all aspects.
Just like the Dao of Space, most monarchs could only rely on 'force breaking laws' to match the speed of Later-stage Star Sovereigns and Fire Cang Star Sovereign in higher-dimensional space.
In terms of expertise in space, they were far inferior.
"Most importantly."
"Just these Thunder Beast stones are quite special." Wu Yuan's numerous divine thoughts had been observing the dozens of Thunder Beast stones within his body for a long time.
Since obtaining them a few days ago.
Wu Yuan had been pondering over them. In the end, he even used the source of life to directly shatter these Thunder Beast stones.
When all the thunderous spiritual energy dissipated.
What remained were intricate and complex mysterious patterns formed by the power of thunder.
They emitted mysterious fluctuations.
In his body's mountains and rivers.
The World Tree branches were lush, and Xiao Hei was leisurely lying on the huge tree trunk.
Wu Yuan's divine thoughts incarnation was sitting cross-legged under the tree, silently deducing the thirty-two incomplete patterns floating in the void in front of him.
"Thunder!"
"All are secret patterns of the Dao of Thunder." Wu Yuan carefully pondered.
Since the birth of his primordial spirit from the Qi Refining Ancestor, he had unknowingly gained some insight into other Dao.
Although the insight was shallow and he had never deliberately deduced them.
At least recognizing some mysteries was not a problem.
"No, it's not just thunder; there's also... flames, the mysteries of the law of fire, just very few." Wu Yuan became more puzzled.
Each pattern in front of him was very simple but extremely profound, and the two did not conflict.
"Thunder, flames... perfectly merged together. But why do these Thunder Beast stone core patterns give me a feeling similar to the Dao patterns of life?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
This was why Wu Yuan attached great importance to these Thunder Beast stone patterns and even looked forward to the stone wall patterns!
The sense of similarity!
Splash~
A huge silver light sphere appeared beside the World Tree, covered with countless Dao patterns.
In terms of complexity, the patterns formed by the core of these Thunder Beast stones were less than one-billionth of the surface secret patterns of the silver light sphere!
The fundamental mysteries contained by both sides were also completely different.
One involved the Dao of Thunder and Fire.
The other involved the combination of Earth, Wood, and Void.
However, when the two were compared, inexplicably, Wu Yuan felt a strange sense of similarity, as if the two originated from the same source.
Naturally, it shocked Wu Yuan.
"This shouldn't be the case. Whether it's the information I know or Elder Kua Chi's guidance, there should be no mistake." Wu Yuan frowned, "The Dao of Life is composed of the three mid-level laws of Eternal Life, Stars, and True Domain."
It had nothing to do with the laws of Thunder and Fire.
"But where does this sense of similarity come from?" Wu Yuan couldn't figure it out and suppressed his doubts.
He continued to observe, trying to find commonalities to attempt comprehending the mysteries of life.
After all, the Dao of Life is incredibly difficult to grasp.
Up to this day, Wu Yuan has not found any opportunities to step into the threshold of life laws.
However, these thirty-two rudimentary Thunder Beast stone patterns were a pleasant surprise for Wu Yuan.
Naturally, he was unwilling to miss any chance to comprehend the laws of life.
One must know, originally, Wu Yuan didn't pay the slightest attention to the Leize World.
"Patience."
"Take it slowly." Wu Yuan had enough patience.
...
Time passed.
Wu Yuan, Cloud Tooth, Yun Ling, and over thirty Purple Mansion cultivators led the way for millions of miles.
Finally, they arrived at one of the most important areas in the 163rd region of the Outer Region.
Here, like a canyon, it seemed no different from winding mountains elsewhere. However, on one side of the canyon, there stood a towering and enormous mountain wall for miles.
Upon entering the canyon area, an invisible pressure enveloped everyone, making them instinctively feel uneasy.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Wu Yuan, Cloud Tooth, and others descended, reaching the central part of the canyon.
In the central area of the canyon, besides them, there were also cultivators from two other sects.
"It's from the Fire Phoenix Immortal Sect."
"And there's a team from the Youyu Immortal Sect."
"Is this the stone wall patterns? It's truly mysterious; I've only heard about it but never seen it."
Dozens of disciples from Changxing Immortal Sect whispered to each other.
Before entering the canyon, they were vigilant, fearing an ambush.
But now, they all relaxed. The cultivators from the other two sects were also at ease.
Because!
The area where the stone wall patterns were located was a forbidden zone in the Leize World! Thunder Beasts wouldn't invade here, and fighting was not allowed!
Violators.
Would undoubtedly die.
Once there was a battle here, it would attract the thunder in the Void Formation. Even experts in the Refining Void Saint Domain would perish with one strike.
This was a lesson learned over countless adventurers risking their lives for billions of years.
As for Wu Yuan and his group, they had long known.
In short, any area with stone wall patterns was a safe place.
"Such a terrifying pressure."
"Just as the legends say, these Thunder Beast diagrams contain the essence of the ancient Myriad Thunder Star Sovereign's Dao." Yun Ling, with her beautiful face, looked up.
One side of the mountain wall was extremely smooth, emitting an ancient and desolate aura. Moreover, a formidable pressure enveloped them.
On the mountain wall.
Countless mysterious patterns were engraved, seemingly perfect intersections forming a gigantic, complete pattern!
At first glance.
The entire pattern on this mountain wall seemed like a crouching Thunder Beast, slightly raising its head, as if ready to leap and burst forth at any moment.
"These stone wall patterns are also known as Leize diagrams or Thunder Beast diagrams."
Cloud Tooth marveled, "Junior Sister, even though the possibility of us comprehending the mysteries is very low... we should still give it a try."
"Yes." Yun Ling nodded.
"Dark Knife friend, what about you?"
Cloud Tooth looked at Wu Yuan and sighed, "These Thunder Beast diagrams are the greatest treasures in the entire Leize World."
"Legend has it that the Myriad Thunder Star Sovereign of ancient times was one of the top Star Sovereigns in the Qingling Immortal Realm. His strength was unparalleled, and these Thunder Beast diagrams are said to contain his Dao."
"Thunder Beast diagrams?" Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
"There are a total of 365 Thunder Beast diagrams."
Cloud Tooth smiled, "According to legends, as long as you comprehend a small part of the mysteries, becoming a Celestial Star Lord is a breeze."
"For this reason,"
"Throughout endless years, cultivators from various Immortal Realms have tried to come here to comprehend."
"Unfortunately, the Thunder Beast diagrams are too mysterious and profound. Over countless ages, no one has comprehended any extraordinary abilities from them."
"So, as the long years passed, fewer and fewer people came."
"Nowadays, it's mainly the cultivators from the six major sects of the White Sea Immortal Realm who come to comprehend." Cloud Tooth sighed, "My Junior Sister and I have only heard a bit about it. Since we both are comprehending the Thunder Law, we applied to the sect to try our luck."
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
He was well aware of this information; over the long years, the vast universe left behind many powerful existences with similar traces.
Like the nine great sanctuaries in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect.
And a Thunder World left behind by a Star Lord naturally attracted attention. However, no one had fully comprehended it.
"Or perhaps!"
"Those cultivators who truly have hope of comprehending some mysteries probably... won't even speak it out." Wu Yuan found a patch of grass and sat down, silently contemplating, "For example - me!"
Seeing Wu Yuan walk away,
Cloud Tooth didn't pay much attention. He and Yun Ling also found a place to try comprehending.
Anyone who came for the first time would give it a try.
...
"It turns out to be..."
"This stone wall pattern, this so-called Thunder Beast diagram, actually contains such wonders." Wu Yuan sat cross-legged, looking up, seemingly full of curiosity and incomprehension.
In reality, a monstrous wave had already surged in Wu Yuan's heart.
Even more filled with excitement!
Before coming to the Leize World, even though Wu Yuan knew some mysteries of the Leize World, he didn't take it too seriously.
How strong could a Star Lord's legacy be?
He only treated the Leize World as an entrance to the 'Undying Land.'
But upon truly entering, Wu Yuan first noticed the similarity between the Thunder Beast core patterns and the patterns on the silver ball.
Now.
He witnessed the Thunder Beast diagram for real.
"The rudimentary patterns on the Thunder Beast stones are only a millionth of these Thunder Beast diagram patterns! No! Even a millionth is far from enough." Wu Yuan looked at this huge Thunder Beast diagram.
Other cultivators might only feel a tiny part of the wonders, like thunder, fire, earth, space, etc.
But Wu Yuan was different.
His cultivation level was extremely high, and with a little insight, he understood that this Thunder Beast diagram not only contained the mysteries of thunder and flames but also the mysteries of the Longevity Law, the Star Law, and even the Realms Law that he was currently comprehending.
"Yes."
"These Thunder Beast diagrams are not something these ordinary Purple Mansion and Refining Void Realm cultivators can comprehend! They... their realms are too low, they're not qualified." Wu Yuan was extremely excited in his heart.
At this moment.
In the mountains and rivers within Wu Yuan's body,
Countless dots of light began to gather next to the enormous silver ball, forming an extremely complex image.
Surprisingly, it was the Thunder Beast diagram. However, it was just the appearance, and there was no terrifying pressure.
Comparing the two!
Naturally, Wu Yuan discovered that when the silver ball was magnified, countless patterns that emerged were subtly similar to the Thunder Beast diagram patterns. They even had many identical parts!
"Silver ball patterns are more complete, converging into one, incredibly flexible." Wu Yuan had been comprehending the silver ball for many years.
Although he hadn't completely grasped the mysteries of the Dao of Life,
he was quite familiar with it.
"And this Thunder Beast diagram seems to be incomplete. In terms of completeness, it is far inferior to the silver ball patterns... But the insights it contains seem to be even deeper, harboring a mysterious artistic conception, making this Thunder Beast seem truly alive! It's a living being!!" Wu Yuan's heart was roaring.
Comprehending various intermediate laws, Wu Yuan gained some understanding of the Dao patterns of the Way of Life.
Only by closely observing the Thunder Beast diagram could Wu Yuan fathom its profundity.
If it were any other cultivator, they would only feel the overwhelming pressure of the Thunder Beast diagram, finding it mysterious and difficult to comprehend.
"Compared to the silver ball,"
"Although this Thunder Beast diagram is relatively incomplete and rudimentary, it seems correct. It appears that this mysterious artistic conception is the exposition of the mysteries of life." Wu Yuan realized this and was astonished.
It evoked an incredible feeling.
After all!
The silver ball was a gift from Kua Chi, a Life Sovereign. These Thunder Beast diagrams were only a Star Lord's legacy.
"Could it be that the true mysteries of life are not just as simple as the life secrets gathered by the Longevity, Star, and Realms Laws?" Wu Yuan quickly deduced, "Does it also contain the mysteries of thunder, fire, and other Dao?"
This speculation was bold.
Combining three major superior laws was already unimaginable.
And now, even more?
Just thinking about it made Wu Yuan's heart tremble.
"Compared to the real Thunder Beast diagram, what I simulated within my mountains and rivers is only the surface patterns of the Dao, lacking the deeper mysteries and the profound artistic conception!" Wu Yuan quickly realized this, "This profound artistic conception is also missing from the silver ball."
Form is external.
The internal mysteries and artistic conception of the Dao are the core.
At this moment,
Looking up at the Thunder Beast diagram, Wu Yuan felt as if he was about to witness a powerful Thunder Beast leaping into action.
This artistic conception wasn't just profound.
It also contained a rare sense of reality.
"True essence of life."
Wu Yuan had a realization, "The ordinary Thunder Beasts I killed before probably contained a trace of the mysteries of this Thunder Beast diagram, forming the essence of Thunder Beast life."
"A trace of mystery, a Thunder Beast, represents the strength of the Mountain and River Realm."
"If this complete Thunder Beast diagram becomes the core source and transforms into a Thunder Beast, how powerful will it be?" Wu Yuan was secretly shocked.
The difference between the two.
Is more than a million times?
"Splash~"
Inside the mountains and rivers within Wu Yuan,
Dao patterns emerged around his spiritual origin, representing the concrete forms of the Longevity, Star, and Realms Laws.
"The artistic conception of true life!"
This time, Wu Yuan didn't directly attempt to integrate the Dao patterns forming the silver ball, as he had done in the past.
Instead, he directly used these three intermediate laws as a foundation to try simulating the mysterious artistic conception of the Thunder Beast diagram.
The so-called artistic conception.
In a sense, it was the manifestation of profound laws.
In short, from Wu Yuan's perspective, the Thunder Beast diagram seemed to contain deeper and more profound mysteries than the Law of Life...
"If I can comprehend even a tiny bit, even a trace of the artistic conception of the Thunder Beast diagram, when I go back to comprehend the Law of Life, it will probably be much easier." Wu Yuan realized this.
It's like learning a language.
Comprehending the Law of Life through the silver ball is like directly learning the characters out of thin air, naturally difficult. Comprehending this artistic conception is like entering the living environment of this language. Once adapted to the language environment, learning the corresponding characters will naturally be much easier.
Time passed.
Wu Yuan attempted again and again, but failed each time. Comprehending the artistic conception was easy to say but difficult to achieve. It was like a fruit hanging on top of a tree, visible but hard to pick.
"Not right!"
"All wrong."
"This Thunder Beast diagram is centered around the mysteries of thunder and fire laws, with Longevity and Space as mere supplements... It doesn't align well with the three intermediate laws I'm comprehending." Wu Yuan quickly realized this.
The ladder he was using wasn't long enough!
"I must comprehend thunder and fire, reaching extremely high depths... Only then is there hope of condensing this mysterious artistic conception." Wu Yuan pondered.
