Chapter 280
Chapter 280
"Over two thousand years old?" Lin Yuan also carefully observed the black mirror.
He had experienced eight transmigrations of the Gate of Myriad Realms, staying each time for twenty years, eighty years, one hundred sixty years, three hundred years, five hundred years, six hundred years, thirty years, and nine hundred twenty years.
The total time spent was two thousand six hundred ten years. If you add the time in the main world, Lin Yuan's precise age was two thousand six hundred thirty years.
This precise age refers to the age of his mental will, which is the fundamental measure of a being's true age.
As for the age of the physical body or the soul? These cannot fundamentally measure the true years a being has lived.
After all, the physical body can be replaced, and the soul can be discarded. Only the mental will and true spirit are the core of life.
"It actually calculates my real age so precisely?" Lin Yuan was a bit surprised.
Previously, when he met the Strongest one Xia Qin, the latter also sensed Lin Yuan's true age, but it was far less precise than this mirror.
Xia Qin, the Strongest one, mastered the complete time laws, so it was not surprising that he could perceive the true time Lin Yuan had experienced.
But this mirror?"It must be a treasure related to time laws." Lin Yuan speculated.
Time treasures contain the power of time, and only those who fully master time laws can refine them.
"How did you cultivate? In just over two thousand years, not only did you reach the eighth rank? You also comprehended so many cosmic powers?" The humanoid statue Shen Ji couldn't understand, "Have you never encountered bottlenecks?"
The humanoid statue Shen Ji felt it was a bit absurd.
With the talent Lin Yuan had shown, even at four million or five million years old, it would be incredible. But at just over two thousand years old? What can one accomplish in two thousand years? Can one comprehend even a single cosmic power?
At this moment, the humanoid statue had many speculations in his mind.
For example, was there a problem with the black mirror?
Or was Lin Yuan a legendary time lifeform?
The former was almost impossible. The black mirror was refined by the master of Devil Jade Tower, containing complete time laws. Even if there was an issue with this training space, it would not have a problem.
As for the latter, time lifeforms are born within the river of time. They exist in the past, present, and future, with time leaving no marks on them. Could this have allowed Lin Yuan to escape the black mirror's detection?
But even for someone as great as the master of Devil Jade Tower, time lifeforms were only heard of, never seen.
The more the humanoid statue Shen Ji thought about it, the more he found it hard to understand.
Even the most abnormal genius should at least conform to basic logic, right? But Lin Yuan shattered his worldview.
What the humanoid statue Shen Ji didn't know was that eighth-rank strength and dozens of cosmic powers were only part of Lin Yuan's achievements over two thousand years.
Lin Yuan's greatest achievement was developing the martial evolution path, which was his true heart and soul.
The martial evolution path is Lin Yuan's strongest confidence in becoming the Strongest one in the future. Whether it's the spatial laws or other laws, or various cosmic powers, they all serve the martial evolution path.
"Maybe my insight is a bit higher than others?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said.
"A bit higher?" The humanoid statue Shen Ji was silent. Is this a bit?
"Alright, I don't care how you did it. The talent and potential you've shown allow you to choose three treasures from the rewards of the first floor and second floor of the Black Tower."
The humanoid statue Shen Ji said.
Normally, those who passed the first floor of Devil Jade Tower's training would randomly receive a treasure from the first floor. This treasure would typically be of mid to low value among all the rewards on the first floor.
But Lin Yuan had used dozens of cosmic powers, including a primordial cosmic power. His potential was beyond the humanoid statue's imagination, so he decided to let Lin Yuan choose any three treasures from the first floor.
Choosing at will, and three at that.
It's much better than being randomly given a reward.
But now.
After learning that Lin Yuan was only just over two thousand years old, the humanoid statue extended the selection range to include the rewards of both the first and second floors.
The master of Devil Jade Tower had set up a separate reward pool for each floor when creating this training space. The higher the floor, the richer and rarer the rewards.
The second floor's reward pool was naturally much higher than the first floor's.
Lin Yuan had only passed the first floor but could choose rewards from the second floor's pool, showing the humanoid statue's immense shock.
If the rewards on the second floor weren't mostly unsuitable for Lin Yuan, the humanoid statue would have likely opened the third floor's pool for him.
After the humanoid statue Shen Ji finished speaking, he raised his right hand, and multiple layers of light screens appeared before Lin Yuan.
They recorded many treasures and rare items.
"So many treasures?"
Lin Yuan's heartbeat accelerated. Most of the treasures listed were ones he had never heard of, but the annotations confirmed their immense value.
In the main world, they would be enough for ninth or tenth-rank powerhouses to fight over.
For example, the essence gold that the Red Kun Star Lord obtained at great cost was ranked at the bottom of this reward list.
"Too many, too many."
Lin Yuan looked through it several times, finding it difficult to choose. Most of the treasures he had never heard of, and while the annotations provided basic explanations, it was hard to fully understand them and determine their suitability.
"Senior Shen Ji." Lin Yuan looked away from the reward list and glanced at the humanoid statue beside him. "Which three treasures should I choose?"
Lin Yuan found it hard to choose because he didn't understand these rewards.
But the humanoid statue Shen Ji, as the guardian of this training space and in charge of the rewards, must be clear about the value of each treasure.
"You want me to choose for you?" The humanoid statue Shen Ji's face showed an unusual expression.
Normally, he wouldn't bother with such matters, but he had been lonely for so long and was intrigued by Lin Yuan's unbelievable talent.
The humanoid statue Shen Ji was willing to offer his suggestions.
"Are you looking to choose the most valuable treasures, or the ones most suitable for you?"
The humanoid statue Shen Ji asked, needing to understand Lin Yuan's needs to provide specific advice.
"The ones suitable for me," Lin Yuan said without hesitation.
Most of the treasures on the list Lin Yuan had never heard of, meaning they were likely hard to obtain even in the main world.
So he wanted to choose the ones most suitable for him, as even the most valuable treasures must be usable to be worthwhile.
"Then I do have some ideas." The humanoid statue Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "The most important thing for you now is to comprehend the complete spatial laws."
"Comprehend the complete spatial laws?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.
"A normal eighth-rank life form indeed does not need to comprehend the complete spatial laws to break through to the ninth rank." The humanoid statue Shen Ji glanced at Lin Yuan.
"Because of the vastness of spatial laws, only a small part needs to be comprehended to accommodate and integrate other laws."
The humanoid statue Shen Ji said.
"Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.
The Yin laws and Yang laws need to be fully comprehended before they can be integrated because they are on the same level.
But spatial laws are pillar laws, vastly more profound than ordinary laws. Integrating ordinary laws with spatial laws does not require full comprehension.
"But this is the normal situation." The humanoid statue Shen Ji sighed, "Even some eighth-rank life forms who comprehend several cosmic powers can break through to the ninth rank, with cosmic powers integrating with ordinary laws into spatial laws."
"Generally, it has little impact."
The humanoid statue Shen Ji paused, "But you have comprehended too many cosmic powers, including a primordial cosmic power."
"To step into the ninth rank, you must comprehend the complete spatial laws."
"Only complete spatial laws can accommodate the dozens of cosmic powers you have comprehended."
The humanoid statue Shen Ji stopped speaking.
"I see." Lin Yuan suddenly understood.
No wonder he had recently felt it was strenuous to comprehend and integrate laws. It turned out that his current comprehension of spatial laws was insufficient.
This was not Lin Yuan's fault. The description of how to step into the ninth rank by the human alliance in the main world did not mention how to integrate dozens of cosmic powers.
Moreover, Lin Yuan had not exposed the fact that he had comprehended dozens of cosmic powers, so others couldn't offer advice.
"So I suggest you choose the first treasure, 'Interpretation of the Void.'" The humanoid statue Shen Ji said slowly.
"'Interpretation of the Void'?" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. He immediately found the introduction of this treasure on the reward list.
'Interpretation of the Void': The Devil Jade Tower master's interpretation of space.
The introduction was short. The only thing that caught Lin Yuan's attention was that it came from the Devil Jade Tower master.
"Spatial laws are vast and infinite. What is called complete mastery of spatial laws is only mastering a part of it. This 'Interpretation of the Void' written by the master interprets spatial laws from another perspective."
"It should be very useful to you. Even after comprehending the complete spatial laws, it will still be effective."
The humanoid statue looked at Lin Yuan seriously.
"Alright."
"I'll choose this."
Lin Yuan immediately said.
The Devil Jade Tower master was such an extraordinary being. Even a few words from him would be invaluable, let alone a complete 'Interpretation of the Void.'
So after hearing the humanoid statue Shen Ji's suggestion, Lin Yuan made up his mind.
"Great."
The humanoid statue Shen Ji smiled.
Although Lin Yuan's talent and aptitude were rare, possibly even surpassing the Devil Jade Tower master at the eighth rank, talent alone needed the right path to be effective.
There were many treasures in the reward pools of the first and second floors that could greatly enhance combat power.
But in the path of life's evolution, combat power was far less important than the evolution of life itself.
"This is 'Interpretation of the Void,' the master's painstaking work. I hope you can comprehend it well." The humanoid statue waved his right hand.
A silver-white book appeared in the air, over a meter high, emitting a faint spatial fluctuation. Lin Yuan gazed at the book, as if seeing the vast spatial laws.
"This..."
Lin Yuan stared at the silver-white book. Silver-white characters began to leave the book and approach Lin Yuan, all merging into his forehead.
One by one, the silver-white characters followed. Each character contained vast amounts of information, far beyond what millions of words in human language could express.
When all three thousand three hundred thirty-three silver-white characters merged into Lin Yuan's forehead, the entire silver-white book began to collapse and disappear.
Lin Yuan closed his eyes.
Meanwhile.
On the main star of the Milky Way, Lin Yuan's true self also closed his eyes.
In the depths of his mind, the three thousand three hundred thirty-three silver-white characters glowed. Lin Yuan carefully examined each character, realizing the vast amount of deep information they conveyed.
[Your Unrivaled Insight rapidly enhances your understanding of spatial laws as you observe the mysterious characters.]
[Your Unrivaled Insight rapidly enhances your understanding of spatial laws as you observe the mysterious characters.]
[Your Unrivaled Insight rapidly enhances your understanding of spatial laws as you observe the mysterious characters.]
In every moment, a massive amount of inspiration about space flooded Lin Yuan's mind. He had never thought that space could be comprehended this way. It was not just pure spatial comprehension but also involved comprehending the five elements, thunder, light, etc., and then understanding space from the surface to the deep.
Buzz.
In just a moment.
Lin Yuan felt that he had comprehended four core spatial models in succession.
"I've hit the jackpot."
Lin Yuan calmed himself, forcing his attention away from the silver-white characters in his mind.
"No wonder the Devil Jade Tower master's interpretation of space is so profound." Lin Yuan was excited.
"Each character contains endless depth. This is a perspective different from the human civilization's interpretation of space."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath.
He had a feeling that even the Strongest one would be greatly moved by this 'Interpretation of the Void.'
The Strongest ones have comprehended the complete time laws and spatial laws, but each one understands them differently.
Nine-story Black Tower.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
'Interpretation of the Void' was currently being comprehended by his true self, who even paused the integration of laws for it. After all, without comprehending the complete spatial laws, the integration of the Tai Chi laws and various cosmic powers would be greatly hindered.
"Alright."
The humanoid statue Shen Ji looked at Lin Yuan warmly, "As for the second treasure, I suggest you choose this one."
With a thought, an image appeared before them.
In the image, a sapling swayed, emanating the power of endless vast worlds.
