Chapter 415: Three Hundred Years Later
Chapter 415: Three Hundred Years Later (Seeking Subscription)
Lin Yuan's true self presided over the main headquarters in the Tianqing World, while his two projections, the Solar Yuan Shen and the Lunar Yuan Shen, set out to explore separately.
This was the safest method.
Both the Solar and Lunar Yuan Shen possessed combat strength comparable to that of Lin Yuan's true body. Even if they were to perish, Lin Yuan could easily recreate them with a mere thought.
It was the most prudent approach.
Although the Endless Void was not as formidable as the Main Universe, Lin Yuan never underestimated it. At the very least, the legendary ninth-stage Fallen Gods could pose a minor threat.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Under Lin Yuan's watchful gaze, the Solar Yuan Shen and Lunar Yuan Shen departed from the Tianqing World.
"The Secret Realm of the Void?" Lin Yuan's solar projection swiftly followed the coordinates within the map scroll, heading towards the location of the Secret Realm.
With Lin Yuan's mastery over space and time, it would take the Black Magic Pavilion Master five or six days to reach the entrance of the Secret Realm from the Tianqing World. However, Lin Yuan arrived in just half an incense stick's worth of time.
"The Secret Realm of the Void, a place where even the memory of entering is shrouded and cannot be shared. What kind of place is it?" Lin Yuan was intrigued.
The human civilization in the Main Universe could also achieve such feats, but they had nine mighty beings at their helm.
"Also, what benefits can be gained by slaying the creatures of the void?" Lin Yuan wondered, as the message in the map scroll made no mention of any rewards. However, he speculated that there must be some advantage to it.
"Could it be the bodies of the void creatures themselves, or some kind of valuable material?" Lin Yuan pondered silently.
This was the most plausible speculation. Just as Lin Yuan could study the bodies of the Fallen Gods he defeated, the bodies of the void creatures could also be subjected to similar examination.
Soon enough, Lin Yuan came to a halt.
"I've arrived." Lin Yuan gazed into the boundless void before him.
However, from the outside, this part of the void appeared no different from any other region.
Yet, with the map scroll in his possession, Lin Yuan could faintly sense a mysterious space hidden deep within the void.
To be precise, it was the entrance to a mysterious space—the entrance to the Secret Realm of the Void.
"This?" Lin Yuan's expression shifted slightly.
Even without the aid of the map scroll, Lin Yuan's profound understanding of space and time would have allowed him to perceive the existence of the Secret Realm.
But the more he sensed it, the more solemn his expression became.
He could feel the vastness of the Secret Realm; it was as if it existed on another layer of the Endless Void.
And the 'entrance' before him was merely one of many entrances to the Secret Realm.
Similar to the Xuanhuang Secret Realm in the Main World, this Secret Realm of the Void likely had numerous entry points.
"If I didn't have this map scroll, I wouldn't be able to enter." Lin Yuan thought to himself, "I estimate that only by reaching the fifth level of the Space-Time Fusion Rule would one be able to forcibly enter the Secret Realm of the Void without the aid of the map scroll."
Lin Yuan was awe-struck by the realization.
"Then how profound must the understanding of the Space-Time Fusion Rule be for the being that initially discovered this Secret Realm? The sixth level? Or perhaps the realm of the mighty beings?"
Lin Yuan did not dare to underestimate the Secret Realm in any way.
While many secret realms were naturally formed, this Secret Realm of the Void had undoubtedly been influenced by external factors, as evidenced by the fact that one could enter it directly with the aid of a map scroll.
"Let's take a look inside." Lin Yuan immediately activated the map scroll, and a suction force emerged from the depths of the void, drawing him in.
If it had been his true self, Lin Yuan would never have dared to enter an unknown secret realm so lightly. However, with just his solar projection, he could afford to take the risk and make attempts.
Buzz!
The next moment, Lin Yuan found himself in a vast space.
Endless in all directions, with no sign of an end, black mist occasionally drifted in the sky.
"Is this the Secret Realm of the Void?" Lin Yuan was cautious and quickly hid himself within the layers of space.
Within the Secret Realm, it felt like another Endless Void, with countless layers of space.
"Where are the void creatures?" Lin Yuan looked around but saw no signs of any life forms.
"I'll have to explore slowly." Lin Yuan began to carefully choose a direction to venture into.
The Secret Realm of the Void was too vast. While Lin Yuan could easily traverse vast distances with a single step, that was only when he was rushing through.
To search for the void creatures, he would have to do it step by step, or he might miss them if they were hiding in the vast expanse.
One month after Lin Yuan's solar projection entered the Secret Realm of the Void...
Buzz!
Lin Yuan moved swiftly, but from the outside, there was no sign of any disturbance.
However, tens of thousands of miles away, beneath a black mountain peak, a massive creature was staring at the flying Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan's true self was hidden within the layers of space, but this massive creature seemed to be able to sense the aura of those layers and could pinpoint Lin Yuan's location.
The massive creature slowly moved closer to Lin Yuan.
"Is that a void creature?" Lin Yuan maintained his movement while naturally keeping an eye on the creature that was drawing nearer.
With Lin Yuan's perception, even without actively deploying his World Shadow, he could sense everything within a radius of several billion miles as clearly as if they were under his palm, making a surprise attack impossible.
"It's quite different from the Fallen Gods." Lin Yuan thought to himself. The void creature he sensed felt no different from a wild beast, devoid of any rationality. Even its attempt to conceal its aura seemed to be driven by instinct.
As for the Fallen Gods, while most of them went mad from time to time, they still possessed a degree of rationality.
"It's here." Moments later, the massive creature had closed in to within a hundred miles of Lin Yuan.
The next moment, the creature stopped and no longer drew closer.
Buzz.
A fantastical world enveloped Lin Yuan, causing his spiritual will to fall into layer upon layer of illusions.
Lin Yuan now found himself in a grand palace, surrounded by alluring beauties attempting to seduce him.
"An illusion?"
Lin Yuan was unfazed. With his abilities, even without relying on any soul-defending treasure, he could easily ward off such illusions.
"Break."
Lin Yuan's thoughts transformed into a sharp blade, effortlessly tearing through the illusory world before him.
At this moment, the void creature was planning to strike, hoping to take advantage of Lin Yuan's vulnerable state while he was still trapped in the illusion.
However, Lin Yuan's recovery was too swift. Before the void creature could even make its move, the illusion had already been shattered.
"If it's just an illusion, then you can stay."
Lin Yuan confirmed that this void creature posed no threat to him and took action.
With a mighty boom, a vast surge of world power emerged, causing space to distort. The void creature didn't even have time to react before it fell into Lin Yuan's palm.
This void creature was at least several dozen miles long, but under the immense spatial suppression, it became minuscule, wriggling helplessly in Lin Yuan's palm.
"Hmm?"
"I can't search its soul? No specific memory images?"
Lin Yuan attempted to probe its soul but to no avail.
The void creature's thoughts were as chaotic as a wild beast's, incapable of storing distinct memories.
"I'll just kill it."
After some fruitless research, Lin Yuan decided to follow the message on the map scroll and kill the void creature.
Buzz.
As the void creature died, its physical body began to turn illusory.
"What?"
Lin Yuan's eyebrows furrowed.
Once it died, its body turned illusory and disappeared?
Not even leaving its body behind?
Then what was the benefit of killing void creatures?
Before Lin Yuan could ponder further, the completely illusory void creature disintegrated into wisps of energy that merged into his body.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan was about to use his world power to expel this unknown energy, as he dared not absorb it before understanding its purpose.
However, even his world power couldn't touch those wisps of energy.
In an instant, they vanished within Lin Yuan's body.
"Oh?"
Lin Yuan sensed something, "Did my spiritual will increase because of this void creature?"
Lin Yuan found this hard to believe.
The importance of spiritual will went without saying.
As the core of the soul, a stronger spiritual will meant greater enhancement in all aspects.
Moreover, when challenging the ultimate realm, one needed a robust spiritual will; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand the backlash from the river of time.
Most importantly, compared to other physical treasures.
The enhancement of spiritual will could be directly brought back to the Main Universe.
After all, Lin Yuan's essence when traversing the myriad worlds was his spiritual will, and when he eventually returned to the Main Universe, it would be his spiritual will that returned.
Any improvements to his spiritual will during this journey could also be brought back intact.
In the depths of the Martial Hall in the Tianqing World, Lin Yuan, who had been cultivating and comprehending, suddenly opened his eyes.
"My spiritual will has indeed increased."
A shocked expression appeared on Lin Yuan's face. With the intelligence of the Main Universe's human civilization, he naturally understood how difficult it was to enhance one's spiritual will.
According to the experiences summarized by humans, one of the threshold conditions for an eleventh-stage expert challenging the ultimate realm was for their spiritual will index to reach ten million.
This was a requirement, and the higher the spiritual will, the greater the assistance when challenging the ultimate realm.
Initially, Lin Yuan had been somewhat worried about how to enhance his spiritual will.
Compared to unique beings like the Four Divine Kings, Lin Yuan's greatest shortcoming was his youth and lack of life experiences, which caused his spiritual will to lag.
"A great opportunity."
"That void secret realm is a great opportunity for me."
Lin Yuan's eyes gleamed with fervor.
"The Solar Yuan Shen's primary task in the void secret realm is to find more void creatures and kill them to enhance my spiritual will."
Lin Yuan immediately made his decision.
His true body would continue to comprehend the 'World' divine ability imprint, comprehend the spatial-temporal fusion rule, and explore various other fusion rules.
As for the two Yuan Shens, the Solar Yuan Shen would focus on finding void creatures.
The Lunar Yuan Shen, while searching for various worlds in the boundless void, would also work on comprehending rules.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, three hundred years had gone by.
