Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Having passed the fourth layer was entirely dependent on those two Time Attributed True God Forms from the World of Gods.

With the help of those two Time Attributed True God Forms, Lin Yuan observed the essence of the Rule of Time in the World of Gods and made rapid progress in his comprehension of the Rule of Time.

Although he was still far from fully comprehending the complete Rule of Time, compared to those at the ninth or even the tenth rank, Lin Yuan certainly had a pioneering status in the domain of the Rule of Time.

"Do you want to try the fifth layer?" The Stone Statue Shen Ji appeared once again.

"Sure," Lin Yuan nodded.

He felt that he probably couldn't get through the fifth layer of the Black Tower, since he had even made it through the fourth layer with utmost caution.

But he had to take a look regardless.

Hum.

A moment later.

Lin Yuan voluntarily retreated from the fifth layer of the Black Tower.

"At least, comprehending the complete Rule of Time seems necessary to have any hope of passing the fifth layer," Lin Yuan marveled inwardly, as even the mere initial position of the fifth attempt, with the time flowing in reverse, was somewhat troublesome for him.

Seeing this, the Stone Statue Shen Ji let out a slight sigh of relief.

Even though he had already judged from Lin Yuan's display of mastery over the Rule of Time while passing the fourth layer that there was no hope of passing the fifth.

But just now, Stone Statue Shen Ji had also doubted Lin Yuan's ability to pass the third layer, let alone the fourth.

"Alright, according to the rules left by the Master, by getting through the third and fourth layers, you are entitled to select one treasure from the treasuries of both the third and fourth layers..."

Stone Statue Shen Ji glanced at Lin Yuan and after pondering for a moment, he said, "However, I can offer you another choice, which is to directly select from the fifth layer's treasury, though you can only pick one item."

"Of course, you may refuse and choose two items from the treasuries of the third and fourth layers respectively," said the Stone Statue.

The so-called treasuries of the third, fourth, and fifth layers correspond to the respective levels of the Nine Floors Dark Tower.

The higher the level, the more precious the treasures in the treasury.

"I choose to select from the fifth layer's treasury," Lin Yuan said without hesitation.

To get through the Black Tower's fifth layer, at least an Eleventh Rank Powerhouse who had comprehended the complete Rule of Time was needed, and the corresponding treasury probably started at Eleven-Star rank, and even top-quality Eleven-Star treasures like the World Tree were not uncommon.

A top-quality Eleven-Star treasure was invaluable, simply incomparable to several ordinary Eleven-Star treasures.

"Good," the Stone Statue Shen Ji nodded, and with a wave of his hand.

Three shadows appeared in front of them.

The first shadow was a crystal-clear jade stone that, while seemingly ordinary, Lin Yuan dared not underestimate since it was in the fifth layer's treasury.

"This jade stone contains a record of a broken Evolution Path," said the Stone Statue Shen Ji with a slight smile, "A broken... Supreme Evolution Path."

"This Supreme Evolutionary Path's ultimate existence had fallen a long time ago," he added.

"Supreme Evolution Path?" Lin Yuan's heart quivered. This was definitely a treasure beyond measurable value, a supreme evolutionary path of ultimate beings, even if only broken, it could cause a frenzy among numerous Eleventh-Rank Lives.

After all, even if the Evolution Path was broken, it was originally of a supreme level and setting down the pathway based on the intact parts; the rest could simply be slowly completed over time.

Lin Yuan felt that if the peak other species of the Cosmic Starry Sky learned of a broken Supreme Evolution Path, it might trigger a full-scale war among the Peak Clans.

"The second item is a special Secret Treasure, somewhat stronger than the usual Eleven-Rank Secret Treasures,"

Stone Statue Shen Ji looked towards the second shadow, which was a gray long spear with some mottling, but the faint sense of killing intent emitted was chilling to Lin Yuan.

"Stronger than an Eleven-Rank Secret Treasure?" Lin Yuan's heart heated up, for this was a treasure that could directly cause an exponential increase in his combat power.

How were the Eternal Spatial Rifts in the Small-Sized Otherworldly Battlefield and the Medium-Sized Otherworldly Battlefield formed?

By a Supreme Being's personal intervention? Generally, Supreme Beings do not directly meddle in battlefields smaller than the large-scale ones; the Eternal Spatial Rifts in the small and medium-sized battlefields are caused by certain Tenth Rank or Eleventh Rank powerhouses wielding supreme weapons, delivering a blow at the supreme level.

In certain special periods, when human civilization is at full-scale war with other Different Species, even Small-Sized Otherworldly Battlefields may see traces of Tenth Rank Powerhouses.

Therefore, this gray spear, surpassing a Tier 11 Secret Treasure, was theoretically usable by Lin Yuan, although he could not unleash its full power.

"The third treasure," the stone statue Shen Ji looked towards the final phantom.

"This is a Miniature Universe, a completely independent and integral Miniature Universe. It was created by the master after a million years of seclusion,"

The third phantom before the stone statue Shen Ji was a hazy gray sphere, which felt to Lin Yuan somewhat similar to the Chaos Crystal, yet it was much more profound than the latter.

"A Miniature Universe?"

"A completely independent Miniature Universe?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. What would it mean to be completely independent? Within the Main Universe, the Inner Worlds of Eighth Rank, Ninth Rank, Tenth Rank, and even Eleventh Rank Powerhouses were, strictly speaking, not independent worlds.

They needed to rely on the Main World, sharing the time flow of the Main Universe's Rule of Time.

To be completely independent, one must merge with time and space, transforming one's Inner World into an Inner Universe.

A completely independent world has its own time flow, unaffected by external factors.

"Once you refine this Miniature Universe, you will be able to deeply feel the various Rule fluctuations inside," explained the stone statue Shen Ji.

In some ways, this Miniature Universe had already surpassed the category of a Tier 11 treasure, only a Supreme Being had the ability to refine it, and not just any Supreme Being.

"Three treasures, you may choose one," said the stone statue Shen Ji, looking at Lin Yuan.

"Choose one?"

Lin Yuan's thoughts spun rapidly, starting with the first treasure, the incomplete Supreme Evolution Path.

If Lin Yuan did not possess Against-Heaven's Understanding, he would definitely prioritize it, as an incomplete Supreme Evolution Path without an ultimate being stood at its end was an irresistible temptation for any Eleventh-Rank Life.

But Lin Yuan had Against-Heaven's Understanding and was already planning to deduce the Martial Path Evolutionary Path to the Supreme level. Under such circumstances, the significance of the Supreme Evolution Path was not significant for Lin Yuan.

Because Lin Yuan would not abandon the Martial Path Evolutionary Path to switch to a completely unknown Evolution Path.

As for reference? Human Civilization had nine Supreme Evolution Paths, Lin Yuan was not short of references.

The most precious part of this incomplete Supreme Evolution Path is not the Evolution Path itself but that there's no ultimate existence standing at the end of the path.

And the second item, the gray spear stronger than a Tier 11 Secret Treasure, was also ruled out by Lin Yuan, as he could not possibly allow his two Primordial Spirits to carry such a precious treasure.

But his true self was usually in a place of absolute safety, hardly needing such high-level treasures.

Thus, it seemed somewhat superfluous.

"I choose that Miniature Universe," Lin Yuan looked towards the third phantom. Continue your journey at My Virtual Library Empire

"Very well, take good care of it," the stone statue Shen Ji said with a smile, then waved his hand.

Instantly, the Miniature Universe, emitting a hazy gray mist, flew in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan reached out with his right hand and discovered that the space inside was only hundreds of light-years in size, but it possessed complete Time Fluctuations and Spatial Fluctuations.

"Hurry back and refine it," the stone statue Shen Ji said with a smile: "You will find great benefits."

"Okay," Lin Yuan nodded.

Before leaving the Demon Jade Space, Lin Yuan seemed to think of something and turned to the stone statue Shen Ji and asked, "Senior Shen Ji, have you ever heard of 'Xuanhuang' Emperor?"

The Xuanhuang Secret Realm within the Main Universe, the Supreme Beings of various Peak Clans were unaware of its origins, only certain that it did not belong to the current Cosmic Era.

Although the stone statue Shen Ji was not a Supreme Being, he came from the Magic Jade Tower and had followed the mysterious Moyu Tower Master.

With his knowledge, he might have heard something about the Xuanhuang Secret Realm.

"'Xuan Huang' Emperor?" The stone statue Shen Ji paused for a moment, pondered, and his tone revealed a hint of oddity,

"What you're referring to should be 'Xuanhuang' Emperor,"
