Chapter 40 Shen Ji: You just barged through without pausing? (Please subscribe)_2
Although the process of developing an Evolution Path is difficult, once achieved, it becomes a chicken that lays golden eggs.
Cosmic Crystals are the universal currency of the Starry Sky Races, and although they may not compare to the Merit Points of human civilization, as long as the quantity is sufficient, one can purchase the vast majority of rare treasures and treasures of the universe.
"However, the percentage of the revenue is secondary..." Lin Yuan exited the income interface of the Martial Path Evolutionary Path and looked up at the starry sky.
"With so many Evolvers cultivating the Martial Path Evolutionary Path, when I make my ultimate leap, the benefits I'll gain will certainly not be small."
Lin Yuan's thoughts fluctuated.
Human civilization constantly expands its territory and wages war against Different Species to acquire more land and increase the population base as much as possible.
With a larger population base, not only does the number of genius Evolvers born increase, but one can also try to cultivate many Evolution Paths, increasing the chances for those on said paths to make a strike at becoming a Supreme Being at the Eleventh Rank Peak.
Among the several peak civilizations, human civilization has the most Supreme Beings – a total of nine, which is related to the vast number of humans.
Those unique life forms that can easily cultivate to Tier 11 but dare not strike at becoming a Supreme Being do so because they have no confidence.
That is why there are many 'Ancient Gods' in the depths of the starry sky who continuously spread evolutionary paths formed from their characteristic information, such as the 'Ancient God' Evolution Path circulating within human civilization.
It is to prepare for that step.
...
Xuanhuang Secret Realm.
Lin Yuan dashed freely within the many Spatial Layers.
"I'm close to the core area." Lin Yuan felt the 'calling sensation' and knew he was near the core area.
"About half a month's time left." Lin Yuan calculated the time, looking forward to it more and more.
As he drew closer, the calling grew clearer.
"His Majesty Xuan Huang?"
Lin Yuan translated the call into the text of human civilization, "Is it His Majesty from the Xuanhuang Secret Realm?"
His Majesty of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, according to the information collected by human civilization over the years, should be the former ruler of this realm.
Also a supreme being at that level.
"A calling related to a Supreme Being..."
Lin Yuan was pondering, when suddenly his expression changed slightly. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
"There?"
Lin Yuan sensed a subtle aura lurking in that area.
"Boom!"
A hundred thousand zhang large Insect Race Hive suddenly soared up and fled frantically into the distance.
"Insect Race?"
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face; along the way, those Ninth Rank Alien Races had been avoiding him, and he didn't expect to encounter an Insect Race by chance.
The Xuanhuang Secret Realm is vast and boundless. The route Lin Yuan is on is far too insignificant compared to the entire realm, so encountering a Ninth Rank Insect Race is a complete surprise.
"Stay behind."
Lin Yuan raised his right hand, the power of two hundred million Spatial Layers spread, and the Insect Race Hive had mastered nearly thirty million Spatial Layers, but it was clearly no match for Lin Yuan.
"Galaxy Master!" The Insect Race Hive cried out in despair, emitting strong mental fluctuations, and then it self-destructed, its massive body exploding.
"So decisive?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
The bodies of Insect Race Hives are immense, and the loss of an Avatar costs much more than a small-sized Ninth Rank like Xilan.
"Did it know that I have 'Memory Poison' on me?" Lin Yuan speculated the reason.
Other Ninth Rank Alien Races fear that Lin Yuan might capture them alive and take them back to human territory to use the methods of human civilization's strong.
But the Insect Race knows that Lin Yuan doesn't need to do that at all.
When the Insect Race sent out four Eighth Layer invincibles to assassinate the Galaxy Master, they used a dose of 'Memory Poison' that could completely destroy a strong being at the memory level, making 'Resurrection' impossible against such destruction.
The fall of those four Eighth Layer invincibles was known to the Insect Race, thus they knew that the 'Memory Poison' had fallen into Lin Yuan's hands.
"Not a bad harvest, worth about four million Cubic Universe Crystals." Lin Yuan nodded; clearly, the Insect Race had gained quite a bit in this secret realm.
But now it all went to Lin Yuan.
...
Milky Way Main Star.
Lin Yuan ended his daily cultivation.
"That's right."
"I can go to the Demon Jade Space and try to break through the Third Layer of the Dark Tower." Lin Yuan mused.
He was still quite tempted by the rewards for advancing through the layers of the Dark Tower; the 'Chaos Crystal' he got after passing the Second Layer, Lin Yuan still often scrutinized, gaining insights.
Not to mention secret technique inheritances like "Void Interpretation" and "Illusory Reality," which were even from the hands of the Moyu Tower Master.
"Let's go."
Lin Yuan sensed the 'Magic Jade Mark' deep in his soul; a thread of spirit will followed the mark and instantly descended into the Demon Jade Space.
"It has been a long time since I've been here."
Lin Yuan looked around at the grey, foggy surroundings, feeling somewhat emotional.
'A long time' here factored in the millennial span he had spent in the World of Gods.
As for the Main World's time, not much had passed.
Whoosh.
Before long,
Lin Yuan arrived in front of the towering Nine Floors Dark Tower.
"You've come?" Stone Statue Shen Ji walked out and looked at Lin Yuan, smiling as he spoke.
"Are you thinking of trying the third layer again?" Stone Statue Shen Ji discerned Lin Yuan's purpose; in actuality, aside from attempting the third layer, there was nothing else Lin Yuan could do upon descending into the Demon Jade Space.
"Right," Lin Yuan nodded.
In his previous attempts at the Black Tower's third layer, Lin Yuan had ended in failure, the distance to success seeming impossibly far.
But now?
Lin Yuan was brimming with confidence.
"Go ahead."
Without any further words, Stone Statue Shen Ji opened the entrance to the Black Tower and made way.
Whoosh!
Lin Yuan walked straight in.
Black Tower's third layer.
Every inch of space was filled with omnipresent pressure.
Having attempted it multiple times before, Lin Yuan already knew what the third layer tested.
The first and second layers of the Black Tower tested resistance to intangible pressure, requiring challengers to withstand the force.
But the third layer... the pervasive pressure wasn't something that cultivators could resist at all. The true test of the third layer required cultivators to occupy more spatial layers, thereby avoiding the pressure from every direction.
So the key to the third layer was evasion.
"The last time I came to tackle this Dark Tower's third layer, I only opened up less than a hundred thousand spatial layers, and I didn't even walk one percent of the distance," Lin Yuan recalled the previous scenes in his mind.
By his estimation, to succeed in the third layer of the Black Tower, he would need to open nearly a hundred million spatial layers.
Nearly a hundred million spatial layers... He estimated that even the strongest Ninth Rank lifeforms among all races in the main cosmic starry sky of this era wouldn't be able to pass the third layer.
"But for the current me..."
In an instant, Lin Yuan occupied layer after layer of space, stepping lightly forward.
...
Outside the Black Tower.
Stone Statue Shen Ji was eagerly watching the images of the third layer.
"The last time this little guy spent nearly half an hour to cover just one percent of the distance, I guess it must have been quite a blow to him," Stone Statue Shen Ji thought to himself.
Geniuses are proud, especially a freakish outlier like Lin Yuan.
Even though it had been clearly stated to Lin Yuan that the standards for overcoming the third layer were those special Ninth Rank or even Tenth Rank lifeforms,
seeing oneself as fragile as a piece of paper within the third layer of the Black Tower must have left a bitter taste.
"That the little guy dares to challenge the third layer again probably means a breakthrough, maybe he can now walk two percent or even five percent of the total distance?"
Stone Statue Shen Ji thought, taking it for granted that Lin Yuan had made a significant breakthrough, otherwise, he wouldn't make such an assumption.
To cover two percent or even five percent of the distance, at least a Ninth Rank Life that had opened nearly a million spatial layers would be required.
Lin Yuan had opened less than a hundred thousand spatial layers previously.
"Truly worthy of being a genius who comprehended dozens of cosmic forces at Eighth Layer; not much time has passed, and there's already such a great breakthrough..."
Stone Statue Shen Ji watched with a smile, and just then, in the image, Lin Yuan took a light step forward.
Whoosh.
Lin Yuan vanished on the spot.
"Huh?"
Before Stone Statue Shen Ji could react, he saw that in the destination area of the third layer, another figure appeared.
It was Lin Yuan.
"What?!" Stone Statue Shen Ji was momentarily stunned and a bit bewildered.
