Chapter 228

Chapter 228

"Lord Mo Li, what does that mean?"

When Feng Yu saw Mo Li leaving without hesitation, he felt a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

In terms of background, he was far inferior to Mo Li, merely coming from a force that once gave birth to a sixth-rank evolver.

However, being designated as a "Golden Mark" by the Red Kun Star Lord, Feng Yu was no fool. He knew that the Thirteenth Peak Master had the strongest talent and favor from the Red Kun Star Lord.

After all, he was the junior disciple.

But what did that matter?

No matter how strong the talent, it had no direct connection to the ability to teach disciples.

Many star alliances in human civilization had several eighth-rank invincible beings, but the Red Kun Star Lord was unique because of his talent for teaching disciples.

Although the Grand Peak Master's talent was not as strong as the Thirteenth Peak Master's, he had been with the Star Lord the longest and had already reached the eighth rank, soon to reign over the star domain as the new Star Lord.

His choice of the Grand Peak Master, even if the Thirteenth Peak Master surpassed him in the distant future, was definitely not wrong for now.

However, Feng Yu's thoughts began to waver when he heard the tone of Mo Li's inquiry and saw the astonishment in his expression upon learning of Feng Yu's choice of the Grand Peak Master.

Was it possible that he had chosen wrong?

Self-doubt began to creep into Feng Yu's mind.

He glanced at the "one" digit on his sleeve.

This digit represented the mark of one of the thirteen Peak Masters, unchangeable once it appeared.

Perhaps a Crimson Mark Evolver could change it, but as a mere Golden Mark, he definitely couldn't.

After all, it involved the dignity of the thirteen Peak Masters. Before entering the thirteen gates, the candidates could make their own choices, but once they entered, it was set.

"I don't believe I made the wrong choice."

"Even if the Thirteenth Peak Master's talent is extraordinary, it will still take a lot of time to reach the eighth rank, maybe even thousands of years."

"Before that happens, my choice is the right one."

"No matter how strong a seventh rank is, it's still a seventh rank, inferior to the eighth rank."

Feng Yu steadied himself, feeling that Mo Li's actions were intentional, aimed at unsettling his state of mind.

Half a day later.

Feng Yu, along with many other candidates, entered the First Peak to meet the Grand Peak Master.DiisCoover updated novels on n(o)v./e/lbin(.)com

"Greetings, Peak Master."

Dozens of Evolvers bowed respectfully to the Grand Peak Master.

"Rise."

The Grand Peak Master responded casually.

Among these candidates, only that Crimson Mark could make him take a second look, while as for Golden Marks? Being chosen to join the First Peak, they were mostly Golden Marks.

"Grand Peak Master?"

Feng Yu sneakily glanced at the Grand Peak Master.

"By choosing the Grand Peak Master over the Thirteenth Peak Master, perhaps I'll be treated differently?" Feng Yu thought to himself, with a hint of anticipation in his heart.

However...

To Feng Yu's disappointment, the Grand Peak Master didn't spare him a second glance throughout the whole time. Like the other candidates, after listening to the Grand Peak Master's advice, he was led out.

"No special treatment?"

Feng Yu felt a bitter taste in his heart.

"But there's no problem."

"The Grand Peak Master is an eighth-rank Evolver. There are many days ahead."

"It's definitely better than choosing the Thirteenth Peak Master."

Feng Yu comforted himself.

In the virtual world of the Thirteenth Peak.

Mo Li and Wu Lan walked nervously into the main hall and bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan. "Greetings, Peak Master."

Lin Yuan sat on the high seat, overlooking these two young candidates.

One was eighty-seven years old, the other sixty-nine.

The Evolvers who could participate in the arena were all under a hundred years old, many of them being ninety-eight or ninety-nine, trying their luck with the last opportunity.

Although Lin Yuan was younger than these two candidates, his real age was much older, considering the years he had spent traveling through worlds.

"The population of the Thirteenth Peak is not large. Since you have been chosen by me, you will be the people of the Thirteenth Peak from now on." Lin Yuan looked at the two and began to speak.

"Yes."

Mo Li and Wu Lan were exhilarated and quickly responded.

Especially Wu Lan, she had never expected that she, a Silver Mark candidate, would be chosen directly by the Peak Master, let alone the greatly renowned Thirteenth Peak Master.

"As you have just joined the Thirteenth Peak, I will guide you once." Lin Yuan looked at Mo Li and said, "Mo Li, you have condensed the 'Heart of Battle' and have great talent in combat. Don't resist."

"Understood."

Lin Yuan pointed with his right hand and transmitted an evolving secret art to Wu Lan's mind.

If Wu Lan could comprehend the depth of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth at the sixth rank and master the basics of spatial rules, comprehending the basic spatial models.

There would be a chance to open a small world of the five elements at the peak of the sixth rank. But Lin Yuan felt that with Wu Lan's current talent and aptitude, it would be difficult to achieve this.

But if the sixth rank wasn't enough, then the seventh rank, with the five elements plus spatial rules, the method of 'opening up the world' was basically set, and there would be no major problems in Wu Lan's future path.

"This..."

Wu Lan widened her eyes. The evolving secret art transmitted to her mind by Lin Yuan was like a pearl of wisdom, as if it were the essence of martial evolution.

At this moment, Wu Lan finally understood why Mo Li, as a Crimson Mark candidate, would show such an expression.

This was seeing the path of one's future, the excitement of enlightenment at dawn.

"Thank you, Peak Master, for your guidance."

Wu Lan also knelt down without hesitation and kowtowed.

"Alright."

"Both of you, practice well."

Lin Yuan waved his hand, signaling for the two to leave.

It wasn't until Mo Li and Wu Lan had departed that Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze.

"I hope you two don't disappoint me," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Red Kun Main Star.

Deep within the Thirteenth Peak Hall.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his mind observing the 'Devil Jade Mark' imprinted in his soul.

"The mysterious space connected by this Devil Jade Mark."

Lin Yuan's thoughts spread out, faintly sensing the existence of a vast and mysterious space.

This mysterious space was completely closed off. Even if one sensed its existence, they couldn't enter it. Even the strongest individuals were no exception. Only by having the Devil Jade Mark as the key could one explore it.

"In fact, the current Evolvers of human civilization, comprehending the evolving paths contained within the body of the strongest one, this approach isn't wrong," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

To condense the Devil Jade Mark, one needed to do it through two methods.

One was like Lin Yuan, comprehending the 3,333 evolving paths.

The second was to choose one evolving path to cultivate, continuously perfecting and supplementing it along the way. Eventually, one could also condense the Devil Jade Mark.

Currently, most Evolvers of human civilization were using the second method.

However, so far, no Evolver had succeeded. Most Evolvers even failed completely.

As for the first method, Lin Yuan possessed extraordinary comprehension, which was difficult for the Evolvers of the Human Alliance to replicate.

"Better inform the Goddess of Wisdom. At least, it's another avenue," Lin Yuan decided.

According to the rules set by the Three Goddesses, as long as it could be of assistance to the Human Alliance, one would receive merit points as a reward.

The Human Alliance wouldn't mistreat any Evolver who made contributions.

"Goddess of Wisdom."

Lin Yuan directly connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.

"Respected Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, the Goddess of Wisdom is pleased to serve you."

The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.

"I have information about the body from the large-scale alien battlefield," Lin Yuan said immediately.

With this statement, there was an obvious moment of silence from the Goddess of Wisdom.

Clearly, she hadn't anticipated that Lin Yuan would bring up this topic. What's more, the key issue was, the intelligence related to the body of an ultra-powerful being from beyond the world.

"Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, please continue," the Goddess of Wisdom responded.

Lin Yuan could perceive the seriousness in the tone of the Goddess of Wisdom, and he even had a feeling that her primary consciousness had descended at this moment.

"I don't know the specifics."

"I'm only aware that there are two ways to comprehend the secrets within that body. One is to cultivate and comprehend the evolving path and follow it to the end."

"The second is not to cultivate any evolving paths but to comprehend the 3,333 evolving paths within that body."

Lin Yuan concealed the part about the Devil Jade Mark and the Devil Jade Tower. Until he was certain which faction the Devil Jade Tower belonged to, Lin Yuan felt it was better not to reveal that information.

Anyway, he had already stated the methods, which was fair enough as a human.

"Level Seven Citizen Lin Yuan, please wait a moment," the Goddess of Wisdom said before falling silent.

Lin Yuan understood that the Goddess of Wisdom was confirming the authenticity of the intelligence he had provided.

The Three Goddesses were not fools. Lin Yuan couldn't expect them to believe whatever he said without verification.
