Chapter 281: Three Priceless Treasures
Chapter 281: Three Priceless Treasures (End of Preview)
"Over two thousand years old?" Lin Yuan examined the black mirror before him, his eyes narrowing in concentration.
Having traversed through the Myriad Worlds Gate eight times, with durations of twenty, eighty, one hundred and sixty, three hundred, five hundred, six hundred, thirty, and nine hundred and twenty years respectively, his total time spent across these worlds amounted to two thousand six hundred and ten years. If one were to include the time spent in the main world, Lin Yuan's precise age would be two thousand six hundred and thirty.
This "precise age" referred to the age of his spiritual will, the fundamental measure of a being's true age. Physical body and soul ages could be manipulated and shed; only the age of one's spiritual will remained immutable.
"It can discern my true age with such accuracy?" Lin Yuan was astonished.
During his audience with the mighty Xia Qin, the latter had also sensed Lin Yuan's true age, but not with the precision of this mirror.
It was understandable that Xia Qin, a master of the complete time rule, could perceive the true passage of time that Lin Yuan had experienced. But for this mirror to do so...
"It must be a treasure related to time rules." Lin Yuan speculated.
Time-related treasures contained the power of time, and only those who had fully grasped the time rule could create them.
"How have you cultivated? In just over two thousand years, you've not only reached the eighth stage but also comprehended so many universal forces?" The stone statue in the shape of a man, Shen Ji, was baffled. "Have you never encountered any bottlenecks or restraints?"
Shen Ji found it absurd.
The talent Lin Yuan had displayed was unimaginable even for someone four or five million years old. But two thousand years? What could one possibly accomplish in that time? Could they even fathom a single universal force?
At this moment, the stone statue was filled with doubts and questions.
Perhaps there was something wrong with the black mirror?
Or could Lin Yuan be a legendary time-life form?
The former was almost impossible. The black mirror was crafted by the master of the Demon Jade Tower, imbued with the complete time rule. Even if this trial space encountered issues, the mirror would remain unaffected.
As for the latter... Time-life forms were born of time itself, existing in the river of time, in the past, present, and future. The passage of time left no mark on them, which was why the mirror might have failed to discern their true age.
However, even a great being like the master of the Demon Jade Tower had only heard of time-life forms and had never laid eyes on one.
Shen Ji's confusion only grew.
No matter how monstrous a genius, they should still conform to basic logic, right? Yet, Lin Yuan had shattered all his preconceptions.
What Shen Ji didn't know was that the eighth stage of power, the comprehension of countless universal forces, was merely a fraction of Lin Yuan's achievements in his two thousand years.
Lin Yuan's greatest accomplishment was the opening of the martial arts evolution path, and that was where his true pride lay.
The martial arts evolution path was Lin Yuan's greatest asset in his journey to becoming a supreme powerhouse. Whether it was the space rule, other rules, or the various universal forces, they all served to enhance this path.
"Perhaps my comprehension is a bit higher than others?" Lin Yuan mused aloud.
"A bit higher?" Shen Ji, the stone statue, fell silent. Was that all?
"Fine, I don't care how you've achieved all this. The talent and potential you've displayed grants you the right to choose any three treasures from the rewards offered on the first and second floors of the Black Tower." Shen Ji declared.
Normally, those who successfully passed the trial of the first floor of the Demon Jade Tower would randomly receive a treasure from the first floor. These treasures were generally considered lower to mid-tier among the first floor's offerings.
However, Lin Yuan had demonstrated his potential by utilizing dozens of universal forces, including primordial-level forces. This had far exceeded Shen Ji's expectations, leading him to offer Lin Yuan the unprecedented opportunity to choose any three treasures from the entire selection on the first floor.
Any three treasures, chosen freely.
It was hard to fathom how much more generous this was compared to the usual random reward.
But now...
Upon learning that Lin Yuan was only over two thousand years old, Shen Ji had decided to expand Lin Yuan's choices even further, allowing him to select from the rewards offered on both the first and second floors.
It was important to note that when the master of the Demon Jade Tower established this trial space, each floor had its own separate reward repository. The higher the floor in the Black Tower, the more abundant and rare the rewards became.
The second floor's reward repository was naturally far superior to that of the first.
The fact that Lin Yuan, who had only cleared the first floor, was now allowed to choose rewards from the second floor as well, spoke volumes about the stone statue's astonishment at Lin Yuan's potential.
If not for the fact that Lin Yuan wouldn't be able to make full use of most of the treasures offered on the third floor, Shen Ji might have even considered opening up that repository as well.
After speaking, Shen Ji raised his right hand, and a layer of brilliant light appeared before Lin Yuan, displaying a list of countless treasures.
"So many treasures..."
Lin Yuan's heart raced as he scanned the list. He had never heard of most of these treasures, but the descriptions and annotations accompanying each one left no doubt as to their immense value.
In the main world, these treasures would be enough to make even ninth or tenth-stage powerhouses go to extreme lengths to obtain them.
The Primordial Refined Metal that Chi Kun had obtained at a great cost was listed near the bottom of this catalog, a testament to the rarity and power of these treasures.
"There are too many, too many to choose from."
Lin Yuan perused the list several times, torn between the options. Most of these reward treasures were completely unknown to him, and while the list provided basic explanations for each item, it was difficult to fully grasp the true nature and suitability of these treasures based on those brief descriptions alone.
"Senior Shen Ji." Lin Yuan looked up from the reward list and turned to the stone statue standing beside him. "I don't know which three rewards I should choose."
Lin Yuan's dilemma stemmed from his lack of knowledge about these treasures.
However, as the guardian of this trial space and the overseer of the rewards granted on each floor, Shen Ji was undoubtedly well-versed in the value and nature of each treasure.
"Shall I choose for you?" A peculiar expression appeared on Shen Ji's face.
Normally, he wouldn't bother with such matters, but after countless years of solitude, he found himself intrigued by Lin Yuan's talent, which defied all logic and understanding.
"Do you want to choose the most valuable treasures, or the ones that suit you best?" Shen Ji asked. He needed to understand Lin Yuan's priorities before offering any suggestions.
"The ones that suit me best," Lin Yuan replied without hesitation.
Most of the treasures on the list were completely foreign to Lin Yuan, suggesting that they might be extremely difficult to obtain even in the main world.
Therefore, it was wiser to choose treasures that were suitable for him. After all, a treasure's value meant nothing if it couldn't be utilized effectively.
"Normally, an eighth-stage being doesn't need to comprehend the entirety of the space rule to break through to the ninth stage." The humanoid stone statue, Shen Ji, glanced at Lin Yuan.
"That's because the vastness of the space rule means that understanding just a small portion of it is enough to accommodate other rules and merge with them."
Shen Ji explained.
"Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.
The fusion of the Yin Rule and the Yang Rule required Lin Yuan to fully comprehend both rules, as they were on the same level, and thus, complete understanding was necessary for their integration.
However, the space rule was a foundational rule, far more vast and complex than ordinary rules. Its fusion with other rules didn't require a thorough understanding.
"But that's under normal circumstances." Shen Ji sighed, "Even if some eighth-stage beings comprehend several types of Universal Forces, when they break through to the ninth stage, those Universal Forces merge with the ordinary rules and are absorbed into the space rule."
"Basically, it doesn't affect much."
Shen Ji paused for a moment after saying this, "But you've comprehended too many Universal Forces, including a Primordial-level one."
"If you want to step into the ninth stage, you must comprehend the complete space rule."
"Only the complete space rule can accommodate the dozens of Universal Forces you've understood."
After saying this, Shen Ji fell silent.
"So that's how it is." Lin Yuan finally understood.
No wonder he had felt strained recently while trying to fuse rules. It turned out that the extent of his current understanding of the space rule was insufficient.
It wasn't Lin Yuan's fault for not realizing this sooner, as the Human Alliance in the Main World had never mentioned anything about how to integrate dozens of Universal Forces when describing the path to the ninth stage.
Moreover, since Lin Yuan hadn't revealed that he had comprehended so many Universal Forces, others couldn't offer him any advice even if they wanted to.
"So, I suggest that the first treasure you choose is the 'Interpretation of the Void'." Shen Ji said slowly.
"The Interpretation of the Void?" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately found the introduction and explanation of this treasure in the reward list.
Interpretation of the Void: The Demon Jade Tower Master's interpretation of space.
The description was brief, but what caught Lin Yuan's attention was that this Interpretation of the Void came from the Demon Jade Tower Master himself.
"The space rule is boundless and infinite. What is meant by 'complete mastery of the space rule' is actually just mastering one aspect of it. This Interpretation of the Void, written by the Tower Master, interprets and understands the space rule from a different perspective."
"For you, it should be of great use, and even after you've comprehended the complete space rule in the future, it will still be effective."
The humanoid statue looked at Lin Yuan and said seriously.
"Alright."
"I'll choose this one, then."
Lin Yuan said without hesitation.
What kind of existence was the Demon Jade Tower Master? Even a few words from him were invaluable, let alone an entire book like the Interpretation of the Void?
So, after hearing Shen Ji's suggestion, Lin Yuan had made up his mind.
"Very good."
A smile appeared on Shen Ji's face.
Although Lin Yuan's talent and aptitude were rare in the world, they were likely far inferior to those of the Demon Jade Tower Master at the eighth stage.
But no matter how extraordinary one's talent was, it would be futile without walking on the right path. The rewards offered on the first and second floors of the Black Tower included many weapons and treasures that could greatly enhance one's combat power.
However, in the journey of life evolution, combat power was far less important than the transformation of life itself.
"This is the Interpretation of the Void, the Tower Master's masterpiece. I hope you'll ponder over it carefully." Shen Ji waved his right hand, and a silver-white book appeared in the air. The book was over a meter tall and emanated faint spatial fluctuations. As Lin Yuan looked at it, he felt as if he were gazing upon the vastness of the space rule itself.
"This..."
Lin Yuan stared at the silver-white book, and one by one, the silver-white characters began to detach themselves from the pages, floating towards him and merging into his mind.
Each silver-white character contained a vast amount of information. If one were to use the written language of human civilization, it would take tens of millions of words, or perhaps even more, to express what was contained in just one of these characters.
In total, three thousand, three hundred, and thirty-three silver-white characters merged into Lin Yuan's mind, and then the silver-white book began to disintegrate and vanished.
Lin Yuan closed his eyes.
At the same time, in the Galaxy Main Star, Lin Yuan's true body also closed his eyes.
Deep within his mind, three thousand, three hundred, and thirty-three silver-white characters glowed with silver-white light. Lin Yuan carefully examined each character and realized that the amount of information contained within a single character was far beyond what he had ever encountered before.
[Your comprehension defies heaven. By observing these mysterious characters, your understanding of the space rule rapidly increases.]
[Your comprehension defies heaven. By observing these mysterious characters, your understanding of the space rule rapidly increases.]
[Your comprehension defies heaven. By observing these mysterious characters, your understanding of the space rule rapidly increases.]
In every moment, countless insights about space flooded his mind. Lin Yuan had never thought about space in this way before—it wasn't just about understanding space but also about comprehending the five elements, thunder, light, and so on, and then gradually delving deeper into the understanding of space.
Hum.
In just a moment's time.
Lin Yuan felt as if he had comprehended four core models of space.
"This is a huge gain."
Lin Yuan calmed his mind and reluctantly shifted his attention away from the silver-white characters in his mind.
"As expected of the Demon Jade Tower Master's interpretation of space." Lin Yuan was excited, "Each character contains infinite profundity, offering a perspective on space that is distinct from the explanations of human civilization."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath.
He had a feeling that even the most powerful beings would be greatly moved if they were to see this Interpretation of the Void.
While they might have comprehended the complete time rule and space rule, each of their understandings of these rules would be unique.
Black Tower.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
His true body was currently devoting all its efforts to comprehending the Interpretation of the Void, even setting aside the fusion of rules for the time being. After all, without a thorough understanding of the complete space rule, the efficiency of subsequent fusions, such as the Tai Chi Rule and various Universal Forces, would be greatly reduced.
"Alright."
Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan and said gently, "As for the second treasure, I suggest you pick this one."
Shen Ji's thoughts stirred, and a scene appeared before them.
In the scene, a young tree swayed, emanating an infinite and boundless World Force.
