Chapter 278

Chapter 278

The Devil Jade Tower is a mysterious force from outside the universe.

According to the strongest one, Xia Qin, the owner of the Devil Jade Tower disappeared suddenly in the distant past.

Many members of the Devil Jade Tower also went missing.

The strongest one's body that drifted in from outside the universe this time should be one of the members of the Devil Jade Tower.

Otherwise, it would not contain evolutionary paths related to the Devil Jade Tower.

From the information Lin Yuan received from the Devil Jade Mark, the space connected to it was specially created by the owner of the Devil Jade Tower for training its members.

Since it was for training, there must be risks. Without reaching the peak of the eighth rank, unexpected incidents might happen.

Whoosh.

A strand of Lin Yuan's mental will descended into a mysterious space through the Devil Jade Mark.

"Is this the Devil Jade Space?"

Lin Yuan cautiously observed his surroundings.

"Am I here with just my mental will? My physical body is still on the Milky Way Main Star?"

Lin Yuan quickly assessed his state.

With multiple experiences of traversing the Gate of Myriad Realms, Lin Yuan was familiar with this feeling.

The difference was that when he first descended into the transmigrated worlds through the Gate of Myriad Realms, he couldn't feel his main world's physical body at all.

During the eighth transmigration, he could sense every detail around his physical body, thanks to the Gate of Myriad Realms acting as a 'medium.'

But now.

Lin Yuan could perceive the existence of his physical body, although it was incredibly distant, it was undeniably real.

"This Devil Jade Space is certainly not in the main world, but it should be on the same latitude and dimension as the main world," Lin Yuan speculated.

If it were in a different latitude and dimension, he shouldn't be able to sense his physical body.

"If I want to return now, I only need to disperse this strand of mental will." Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The Devil Jade Mark only brought a strand of mental will here, while the main body of the mental will was still within the physical body. Currently, Lin Yuan was similar to a consciousness projection.

"With just a consciousness projection... I can only use rule comprehension and cosmic power?"

Lin Yuan's thoughts expanded as he looked around.

All he could see was a vast expanse of white clouds and mist. Lin Yuan's mind was subtly attracted to a point ahead on the left.

"Is it directing me there?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment. This attraction came from the Devil Jade Mark.

Without the Devil Jade Mark, even if he forcibly descended into this space, he wouldn't know which direction to go in, as the white clouds and mist covered everything.

"Let's go."

Lin Yuan didn't plan to wander randomly. Instead, he followed the direction indicated by the Devil Jade Mark, heading forward.

Although he didn't know the level of the owner of the Devil Jade Tower, they were certainly not weaker than the strongest ones. Being in a space created by such a being.

Obeying their rules was the safest approach, while trying to find a new path was the most foolish thing to do.

As soon as a strand of Lin Yuan's mental will descended.

In the core of the Devil Jade Space, in front of a completely pitch-black nine-story tower.

A humanoid stone statue suddenly opened its eyes, looking at Lin Yuan, who was cautiously approaching.

"How many tens of thousands of years has it been? Finally, another member of the Devil Jade Tower has entered this training ground?"

The stone statue looked at Lin Yuan with a nostalgic expression. "Back when the Devil Jade Tower was at its peak, members came to train here constantly. Now it takes ages for one to come."

The humanoid stone statue sighed, "Master, where did you go? Without you, does the Devil Jade Tower even have a purpose?"

Milky Way Main Star.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly. He could sense everything experienced by the strand of mental will entering the Devil Jade Space.

Even as that strand of mental will explored the Devil Jade Space, Lin Yuan could continue to train and comprehend the Dao on his end.

As an eighth-rank evolver, multitasking was perfectly normal.

Unless something overly significant happened to that strand of mental will, most of his attention remained on his true body.

"I wonder if any human evolvers have become ordinary members of the Devil Jade Tower so far," Lin Yuan pondered silently.

Comprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths was one thing, but completing and perfecting a single evolutionary path might have been achieved by some human evolver over the years.

Becoming an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower this way was much easier than comprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths.

"What about alien races?"

Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

Even peak alien races didn't have the means of the human virtual world to isolate most of the powers from that piece of the strongest one's body.

"The higher the floor, the greater the rewards," Shen Ji added. "But don't get your hopes up too high. Normally, life at the eighth rank would find it incredibly hard to pass the first floor. From the seventh floor onwards, only life at the twelfth rank can attempt it."

"Twelfth rank?" Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

In the main world's universe, the twelfth rank had many names.

Ultimate existence, Supreme Beings or the strongest ones.

According to Shen Ji, even the strongest ones only had a chance to pass the seventh floor, with the eighth and ninth floors still beyond.

"What specific rewards?" Lin Yuan was curious.

"I don't know. The rewards left by the owner are confidential, even I don't know," Shen Ji explained patiently.

Over countless years, he had been too lonely. Now, facing an eighth-rank youngster, he was almost 'answering every question.'

In front of the towering nine-story black tower.

Shen Ji led Lin Yuan to the entrance.

Further in would be the first floor of the nine-story black tower.

"Little one, just keep walking forward. Reach the black stairs, and you will have passed the first floor. Beyond that is the second floor."

Shen Ji instructed.

The entrance of the nine-story black tower was hundreds of miles wide. Lin Yuan glanced around and turned back to ask Shen Ji, "Senior Shen Ji, what strength is needed to pass the first floor?"

"Generally, only ninth-rank beings have a chance to pass the first floor. For eighth-rank beings? Comprehending the complete space rules also makes it possible."

Shen Ji spoke gently.

To him, Lin Yuan had no hope of passing the first floor, but having someone to chat with was enough.

Lin Yuan was an ordinary member of the Devil Jade Tower, holding the Devil Jade Mark, and could enter the Devil Jade Space at any time.

"Comprehending the complete space rules?"

Lin Yuan was shocked.

An eighth-rank being comprehending the complete space rules... was far more difficult than becoming an eighth-rank invincible.

In the main world's cosmic void, there were some eighth-rank invincibles. Human civilization, other peak races, even powerful races and ordinary races.

All had eighth-rank invincibles.

But an eighth-rank being comprehending the complete space rules? It had happened.

But only one would be born over long ages.

"Of course, if you have comprehended some cosmic power, and it's powerful enough, you also have a chance to pass the first floor."

Shen Ji added.

Implying that ordinary cosmic power had no chance of passing the first floor.

"That's good."

Lin Yuan was slightly relieved.

If he lacked anything, it wasn't cosmic power.

In fact, during the eighth traversal, he stayed in the Spirit Realm for 920 years.

If Lin Yuan hadn't spent so much time comprehending the power of creation.

He might have comprehended 7,782 core space models, mastering the complete space rules.

But Lin Yuan never regretted his decision. Complete space rules? With Lin Yuan's insight, he could comprehend them given enough time.

But the power of creation? After leaving the Spirit Realm, who knew how long it would be before encountering another world unrestricted by cosmic power.

"Go on in." Shen Ji stood at the entrance.

"Alright." Lin Yuan didn't hesitate and entered the first floor of the nine-story black tower.

Shen Ji watched Lin Yuan enter the tower.

"I wonder how long he can last. But joining the Devil Jade Pavilion by comprehending 3,333 evolutionary paths, even at the eighth rank, there's hope of passing the first floor."

Shen Ji thought, seeing the first floor's scene in front of him.

As the guardian of the nine-story black tower, Shen Ji had many rights to prevent cheating during the training.

Such as using 'external forces.'

The owner of the Devil Jade Tower created this space for training members.

Using external forces would lose the training effect, resulting in Shen Ji expelling them, never to return.
