Chapter 418: Void Deity Will! The Evolution of Law Contemplation

Chapter 418: Void Deity Will! The Evolution of Law Contemplation



"Willful Mind as Crystal." Li Yuan felt his consciousness emitting rays of light, each of which could easily withstand various soul attacks and pressures from the outside world.

Mind as Crystal.

Like a tree with strong roots, the stability of the spiritual world far exceeded that of the past, and soul defense naturally soared.

Soul and will.

If the soul is strong but the will is weak, it will still fall prey to some soul attacks, and the soul can easily crumble.

"A single soldier may be weak, but a general commands an army." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Will is like a commander, and as long as the will is strong, the soul's power can be unleashed to its full potential and even beyond."

At this moment, even though Li Yuan's soul was still at level 49 and had not broken through, his powerful will allowed him to easily withstand the erosion of the Great Sun Radiance's rays up close.

This was the advantage of a strong will.

"Now, with my own abilities, it's difficult for most Void Deity soul attacks to directly kill me," Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Once the Thousand Heart Lotus Platform's protection is added."

"Unless it's a Void Deity peak powerhouse who is extremely skilled in soul attacks, it's difficult for them to shake me with soul attacks."

Li Yuan, who could easily annihilate many Flying Heaven-ranked beings with his soul attacks, naturally understood the power of soul attacks.

Invisible and silent.

Unlike physical attacks that create a loud commotion when unleashed, super-powerful beings can often annihilate the weak with a single thought.

"Improved life-saving abilities."

"When I launch soul attacks, their power will also increase significantly," Li Yuan thought with satisfaction.

He hadn't expected this.

He had hoped that by entering the Nine Sounds Realm, he might be able to trigger a transformation in his soul and will.

Unexpectedly, while practicing the Great Sun Star Contemplation Sutra in the quiet room, he unknowingly broke through.

"Without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles," Li Yuan thought. "The concept of a will as crystal is simple enough, and almost every Demi-God knows it."

"But."

"Only by uniting knowledge and action, and persistently enduring the pain day after day, even without seeing the hope of a breakthrough, can one unwaveringly practice what they believe in... This is true perseverance." Li Yuan had an epiphany.

If not for his soul and will both reaching level 49 and his unwavering persistence over the years, he might have had to wait much longer for this breakthrough.

He might have even had to reach the Demi-God rank and undergo a physical transformation to break through to a higher level.

"Unity of knowledge and action."

"Enlightenment is not achieved in a vacuum but through practice." Li Yuan became more convinced that he was on the right path.

"Void Deity Will."

"I should be able to try entering the Great Sun Radiance now." Li Yuan was filled with curiosity.

It had been over a decade since he first encountered the Great Sun Jade Platform in his sophomore year of high school and began practicing Law Contemplation. Li Yuan had always wanted to know what this Great Sun Radiance was... He had been striving to get closer to this sun.

But he had never been able to touch it.

In the past, his will wasn't strong enough, and he couldn't even withstand the emitted light, let alone have the qualifications to touch the main body... Now, his will had finally undergone a fundamental transformation.

"Let's give it a try!"

Huff! Li Yuan's consciousness was cautious, emitting a crystal-like aura as he approached the Great Sun Radiance step by step.

The surface of the star, like a giant fireball, was filled with boiling magma and raging fire snakes. One of these fire snakes, expanding and rising at will, was probably over a thousand kilometers long.

It was like a doomsday scene.

Huff! Li Yuan's consciousness silently and stealthily approached the surface of the Great Sun Radiance, its light far surpassing what it had been moments ago.

Even though Li Yuan's soul was covered in crystal-like light, he still felt waves of pain.

Suddenly—

"Whoosh!" A magma fire snake erupted and rose rapidly, as fast as lightning. A small amount of magma instantly grazed Li Yuan's consciousness... The two made contact.

Li Yuan didn't dodge.

His goal was to truly touch this mysterious Great Sun Radiance.

In the instant they touched—

"Boom!" Li Yuan felt his consciousness instantly sink into oblivion.

The scorching magma wasn't real and didn't harm Li Yuan's consciousness.

Instead, it was an illusion—

"Little Yuan, come to Mommy." A pleasant voice rang out, and Li Yuan's consciousness sank into another world.

It was an incredibly real world, almost without flaws.

"Martial Way is me."

"Martial arts is about igniting all our passion and enthusiasm, pushing us to train relentlessly." A burly man with a mechanical arm roared.

The entire classroom fell silent.

"Teacher Xu, why are you crying suddenly? Are you a man or not?" Xu Bo roared.

……

"Blue Planet is under invasion from a foreign civilization! Evacuate, everyone evacuate!" Alarms blared across the globe, causing widespread panic among the general population.

In outer space, a figure wielding a long spear flew at an astonishing speed.

"My current flight speed is 122,620 meters per second, and my power output is..."

Li Yuan, flying at an incredible speed approximately 180 kilometers above the surface of Blue Planet, stared at a massive creature resembling a mythical divine dragon in the dim void ahead, "You should be the strongest among the invading Demi-God life forms."

......

After a long while—

Boom!

Li Yuan, seated cross-legged on a jade platform, suddenly trembled, his face streaked with tears. He abruptly opened his eyes.

"I...this..."

With a thought, the tears on Li Yuan's face instantly evaporated, and his consciousness, which had been immersed, quickly regained control of his body. He now fully understood what had happened to him.

"What a terrifying illusion!"

"Each of those illusions directly targeted my inner thoughts, stirring up my desires and fantasies, intending to make me succumb to them." Li Yuan shuddered at the thought; each illusion had been a chilling experience.

It was truly terrifying.

Countless illusions, one after another, and even if one managed to escape, another would soon follow, like falling into an endless abyss of nightmares.

"I didn't escape from most of the illusions; instead, I succumbed to them," Li Yuan thought in shock. "If these were illusions created by an enemy, I might have already died, or worse, been controlled without even realizing it."

Soul attacks among Flying Heaven Demi-Gods primarily rely on overwhelming power to annihilate their targets.

In simple terms, it's about 'might makes right.'

Consequently, it's extremely difficult for Demi-Gods to annihilate Flying Heaven-ranked beings through soul attacks.

After achieving Divinity, Divine Beings often possess unwavering minds, making soul annihilation even more challenging, and the requirements for soul mastery become exceedingly high... Illusion techniques become a mainstream approach.

When powerful beings employ soul attacks, they tend to create illusions to find their opponent's mental weaknesses, causing them to succumb entirely and eventually die silently.

Illusion Stream!

This is a prevalent and terrifying soul technique, mastered by many soul experts.

"The illusions in the Great Sun Radiance, if I were to succumb completely, would cause the illusion to collapse, leading me to the next illusion... Essentially, it's a way to further temper my soul's will."

Outside the Great Sun Radiance, the consciousness is directly eroded and tormented.

It tempers the soul's will through endless suffering.

"But when the will undergoes a transformation to the Divine Level, it becomes so strong that mere torment can hardly induce a rapid change in the soul's will... It must target the inner self." Li Yuan reflected, "Those countless illusions were all things I desired, essentially helping me address my mental weaknesses."

Li Yuan was astounded by the wonders of the Great Sun Star Contemplation Sutra.

It is essential to understand that most contemplation techniques are only effective for those below the Divine Level. Once one transcends to Divinity, the effectiveness of contemplation techniques diminishes, making it challenging for the soul's will to progress further.

However, the Great Sun Star Contemplation Sutra, with its myriad illusions within the Great Sun Radiance, offers an incredibly effective means of tempering.

It is indeed remarkable.

And this is just from Li Yuan's brief contact with a small portion of the Great Sun Radiance's magma... What if the entire consciousness were to enter the Great Sun Radiance? Would it face even more formidable and terrifying illusions?

"I'm thinking too far ahead."

"Let's not delve too deeply."

"Just from the illusions I experienced, if I could completely escape and regain clarity..."

"It likely signifies a transformation in my will, an elevation to a higher level, making my soul more impervious to influence." Li Yuan had an epiphany.

But to completely escape was too difficult.

"Those illusions were too real, making it hard to distinguish them from reality." Li Yuan closed his eyes gently.

As he closed his eyes, he recalled the heartwarming scenes he had just experienced, reluctant to let them go.

After a long meditation—

"The illusory will always remain illusory."

"Only reality is what I can grasp." Li Yuan silently affirmed.

"If I continue to enter such illusions, I might lose my way." Li Yuan made a decision: "Every time I cultivate the Great Sun Star Contemplation Sutra, I must repeatedly scrutinize myself to maintain absolute clarity."

Enduring countless illusions is a form of tempering!

But even if the illusions don't actively harm, one can still lose their sanity, eventually unable to differentiate between illusion and reality.

......

Li Yuan was cautious about the changes in his contemplation technique. After suppressing numerous thoughts, he had an epiphany:

"My will has transformed.

"I should be able to use more Awakening Star Divine Pills now." Li Yuan flipped his palm, taking out another Awakening Star Divine Pill.

Source Energy surged, and his Divine Sense enveloped the pill. He attempted to refine it once more.

"Boom!" The pill instantly unleashed a soul attack... Previously, Li Yuan had struggled to withstand it with all his might, but now it felt effortless.

"Soul Transformation is the key."

"Many Half-God Powerhouses among the Monster Talents, like Jiang Shan, possess combat strength comparable to Void Deities. But their souls are only at the Half-God limit, and their willpower... probably hasn't transformed to the Void Deity level either." Li Yuan's eyes gleamed.

Quickly, Li Yuan successfully refined the sixty-fourth pill and, following that peculiar energy current, he awakened over two hundred Life Stars in the Life Star Space in one go.

"Continue!"

The sixty-fifth.

The sixty-sixth.

...

The seventy-second.

...

The eightieth.

...All gone! Li Yuan had obtained eighty Awakening Star Divine Pills, and with his Soul Transformation, he managed to fuse them all at once.

If this news spread, it would undoubtedly shake countless powerhouses.

After all, the Abyss Kingdom only gave ten pills to the top ten talents on the Flying Heaven Rank, and at most, thirty pills... According to the Abyss Kingdom's calculations, even the top-tier talents among the Flying Heaven Rank would reach their limit after using just ten or twenty pills before ascending to the Half-God realm.

But Li Yuan?

Far from enough! Even if he used up all eighty Awakening Star Divine Pills, it wouldn't be sufficient.

"Not enough."

"I need more Awakening Star Divine Pills." Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, "My willpower can still improve further. After the Soul Transformation, the chances of Soul Breakthrough will greatly increase... In the future, once my soul breaks through to the Void God Level, I might be able to use one or two hundred pills."

Li Yuan didn't want to wait too long.

Because in the Life Star Space, the Unowned Life Stars had accumulated tens of thousands, and perhaps by awakening tens of thousands of Life Stars, he could awaken the Nine-Star Meridian.

Of course, this was just Li Yuan's speculation.

Regardless of Master Chu Bing or Jiang Yuan True God, the information they provided didn't include detailed records about the Nine-Star Meridian.

There were too few precedents.

It was difficult to form a systematic understanding.

Just as Li Yuan was pondering.

"Hmm? Jiang Shan is sending me a message?" Li Yuan suddenly received a transmission from Jiang Shan.

On the Star Perception Continent, although there weren't various technological instruments, it didn't mean they lacked advanced means of communication. The use of puppets and transmissions was quite common.

Jiang Shan's message was simple: "My little sister and I have arrived outside the Divine Flame Palace. The Nine Sounds Realm is about to open. Do you wish to accompany us?"

"The Nine Sounds Realm?"

"It's a good opportunity to take a look." Li Yuan smiled slightly, "I'm only at the Flying Heaven Rank, but if I can demonstrate exceptional ability, perhaps I can receive a good gift from the Nine Sounds True God."

At this thought.

Li Yuan's heart moved, and with a surge of Source Energy, he opened the door to his meditation room. In an instant, he appeared in the main hall of his manor.

"Has the master emerged from seclusion?" Ren Qing immediately greeted him.

"In these two days, has anything significant happened in the manor?" Li Yuan asked.

"Not much, just some visits from Divine Families," Ren Qing replied respectfully. "These are the gifts they brought, please have a look."

Ren Qing respectfully handed over a storage treasure filled with gifts.

"Oh?"

Li Yuan took it and scanned it with his Divine Sense, and his eyes widened slightly in surprise, "One thousand eight hundred Divine Crystals?"

Even Half-God Limit Powerhouses would covet such a large number of Divine Crystals.

"You've done well." Li Yuan smiled and stored the Divine Crystals in his own storage treasure.

Along with the Divine Crystals, Li Yuan also received a list with over one hundred and fifty Divine Families recorded, along with the specified gift amounts.

"It's my duty to serve the master," Ren Qing said respectfully.

"Today, I'm heading out." Li Yuan said.

"Yes, sir." Ren Qing assured him, "Rest assured, I'll handle any matters in the manor."

Li Yuan nodded and flew out of the manor.

Ren Qing saw him off.

"How is it that the master's aura feels a bit different from before?" Ren Qing was secretly astonished, "It's as if he's facing a Divine Being, but the master is clearly only at the Flying Heaven Rank. It's mysterious."

She had no idea.

The pressure from a Divine Being was so powerful, and it was inseparable from their strong soul and willpower.

Although Li Yuan tried to conceal it, the Void Deity Will was like an elephant in the room, impossible to hide completely.

...

Soon, Li Yuan, along with Jiang Shan and Jiang Xuan, boarded the Black Dragon Warship and headed towards the Nine Sounds Tower.
