Chapter 615: First In The Divine Court, A Full Ten Years (4)

"Junior Nephew Ming Jian, are you there?" A voice suddenly called from outside the courtyard, its tone quite gentle.

Hmm? Wu Yuan opened his eyes.

In a flash, he left the meditation chamber and appeared outside.

"Senior Uncle Gu Lai," Wu Yuan bowed respectfully.

"Haha," the plump Astral Monarch Gu Lai laughed, his eyes crinkling into merry crescents. "Junior Nephew Ming Jian, you're truly remarkable. Congratulations on clearing level one hundred of the one-star tower, setting a record in our Eternal Sun Immortal World."

"Thank you, Senior Uncle," Wu Yuan smiled slightly.

"I'm here not only to congratulate you but also to take you to meet the Immortal Sovereign," said Astral Monarch Gu Lai.

"Grandmaster?" Wu Yuan was slightly surprised.

"Yes, you've comprehended the True Intent of an Intermediate Law. The Immortal Sovereign has learned of this, so he specifically ordered me to come and fetch you," Astral Monarch Gu Lai clicked his tongue in admiration. "Junior Nephew, to be summoned by the Immortal Sovereign repeatedly in such a short time is something that even we older disciples can rarely experience."

Wu Yuan smiled.

There was something he didn't say aloud: in terms of progress rate, few of Immortal Sovereign Bei You's numerous disciples could match his own.

"Let's go," Astral Monarch Gu Lai waved his hand, swiftly leading Wu Yuan away from the Immortal Belvedere.

They advanced quickly through the mountain range, soon arriving before the temple.

"Go in," said Astral Monarch Gu Lai. "The Immortal Sovereign hasn't summoned me, so I won't enter."

Wu Yuan nodded.

He flew swiftly into the temple.

"Ming Jian pays his respects to Grandmaster," Wu Yuan bowed respectfully. The figure at the far end of the temple remained unchanged, seemingly embodying the descent of all of heaven and earth, existing eternally.

Eldritch Sovereign Kua Chi and Immortal Sovereign Bei You were both Sovereigns, yet the mastery of different Greater Laws imbued them with starkly different auras.

"Ming Jian, I hear you have cleared level one hundred of the one-star tower. Excellent, your rate of progress is faster than I had imagined," Immortal Sovereign Bei You leaned forward as he looked down at Wu Yuan below, smiling. "However, you were able to clear it because you stepped through the threshold of the Law of Life, am I right?"

Wu Yuan was secretly shocked.

During his battles in the Seven Star Luminaries Tower world, he hadn't revealed any profundities related to the Law of Life, yet it had still been seen through. A Sovereign was indeed someone not to be underestimated.

"Grandmaster's insight is profound." Wu Yuan spoke with utmost respect, choosing his words carefully: "This disciple has made extremely rapid progress in the True Domain Dao and Qiankun Dao, but in terms of the Law of Spatial Rift, progress has indeed been pitifully slow."

Wu Yuan was concerned that Immortal Sovereign Bei You might grow displeased because of this.

"Yes, Grandmaster," Wu Yuan bowed respectfully and slowly retreated.

...

Wu Yuan's qi refiner self returned to his residence at the Immortal Belvedere.

The two requirements for the second stage? A thousand years to comprehend Spatial Rift, True Domain, and Qiankun, all to the True Intent stage? Wu Yuan sat cross-legged on the jade platform, pondering over the earlier conversation.

Though he didn't understand what the greatest opportunity mentioned by Immortal Sovereign Bei You was, the fact that an Immortal Sovereign valued it so highly meant it must be extraordinarily remarkable.

Master Kua Chi wants to raise another Sovereign of Life. Wu Yuan thought to himself. Grandmaster Bei You likely also wants to nurture another Sovereign of Space... but should I walk both paths simultaneously?

Immortal Sovereign Bei You's intentions were clear as day, believing Wu Yuan had extremely high aptitude for Space and wanting to guide himself onto the path of the Law of Space.

The decision, however, lay in Wu Yuan's hands.

To say that Wu Yuan entertained no thoughts on the matter would certainly be false. In some ways, a Sovereign of Space was even rarer, nobler, and more powerful than a Sovereign of Life.

But after just a moment, Wu Yuan calmed down.

No, that's not right! My heart actually wavered? As expected of a Sovereign, with just a few simple words, he unknowingly influenced my choice. Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, then his eyes regained their determination.

Biting off more than one can chew leads to nothing. It's only with both of my true selves collaborating and striving together that I have a slight hope of mastering the Law of Life, and it's also the path most suited to me.

Though the Law of Space is excellent, it doesn't align with my heart, at least for now.

If I were to cultivate both Daos? I fear that in the end, I wouldn't succeed in either. Wu Yuan's qi refiner self had already thought it through clearly, and his Dao Heart grew increasingly pure.

Constant reflection was the way to making one's inner heart stronger, purer, and more unshakeable.

However, I shouldn’t give up on those million divine crystals. Wu Yuan thought to himself. Next, I'll focus on comprehending the Qiankun Dao to the True Intent stage.

Although he didn't intend to comprehend the Law of Space, Wu Yuan was still unwilling to give up on the Qiankun Dao, which would greatly improve self-preservation.

As for the rest, I’ll think about it when my body refiner self returns from the Immutable Land. Wu Yuan's qi refiner self gently closed his eyes. I wonder what exactly my body refiner self is experiencing?

...

Wu Yuan's body refiner self was unaware of everything his qi refiner self had experienced.

In the mysterious Huanggu, Wu Yuan's body refiner self was fully focused on cultivating within the Archeldritch Hall.

In the blink of an eye, another four years passed. A full ten years had elapsed. Unknowingly, Wu Yuan was one hundred years old.

Has it been ten years already? Wu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, sensing the rapid decline in the Archeldritch Origin's potency.

At the same time, the unique enhancement effects of the Eldritch Chamber, which boosted his comprehension, were also fading quickly.
