Li Yuan followed Cangâer and entered a mysterious bronze gate in the central area of the Immortal Divine Hall. As space shifted, a starry sky appeared beneath their feet.
In the distance, stars scattered around, and in front of Li Yuan was a gigantic light sphere with a diameter of about ten thousand kilometers. The light emitted a faint purple glow, illuminating the surroundings and involuntarily inspiring a sense of awe in Li Yuanâs heart.
However.
At this moment, Cangâer stood a million miles tall, and Li Yuan was also ten thousand miles towering, so the light sphere didnât seem large, but its aura was vast.
"What is this?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
"This is a manifestation of the Immortal Celestial Mirror," Cangâer smiled and said. "The Immortal Celestial Mirror is the supreme treasure of our Immortal Divine Hall and the core left by the creator of Immortal Heaven and Earth. The entire operation of Immortal Heaven and Earth revolves around it."
"Immortal Celestial Mirror?" Li Yuanâs heart stirred.
Back when he first entered Immortal Heaven and Earth, he obtained the âFive-star Immortal Orderâ, which was adjudicated by the Immortal Celestial Mirror. However, the Immortal Celestial Mirror in that palace looked somewhat different from the light sphere before him.
According to Li Yuanâs guess, this so-called Immortal Celestial Mirror should be similar to a fundamental operational rule.
"Heart Source Quasi-Saint, as instructed by the God Master, you can obtain the first half of an ultimate skill of the Sub-Saint level from the Void Realm lineage," Cangâer said. "Place your hand on the Immortal Celestial Mirror, and you can search for all qualified Sub-Saint ultimate skills and choose one to study."
"Understood," Li Yuan nodded.
Whew!
Li Yuan extended his palm and placed it on the light sphere. The sphere, like flowing water, instantly allowed his hand to sink into it, followed by a vast amount of information flooding into his mind.
"âDemon Cliff Songâ, created by the âDemon Cliff Emperorâ, is the strongest ultimate skill of the Void Realm lineage. It originates from the Heart Device Dao, World Dao, and Space-Time Path. Based on these three paths, it forms an incredible âDemon Cliff Dream Realmâ. When cultivated to the extreme, even a Tenth Rank Quasi-Saint will fall..." Li Yuan perceived the information he received.
Besides the introduction, there was also a brief method of cultivating the âentry-levelâ of this Sub-Saint ultimate skill, which was extremely profound; even with Li Yuanâs realm, he could only comprehend a little.
But Li Yuan also understood that this was an ultimate skill of the Void Realm lineage, aimed at bewildering and trapping the enemy.
Its name immediately reminded Li Yuan of that mysterious place in the Eighth Dark Domain, the âDemon Cliff Steleâ. Could they all originate from the same Sub-Saint?
But Li Yuan had no time to think deeply.
Soon, he received information about the second Void Realm ultimate skill: "âThousand Sword Dream Realmâ, created by the âThousand Heart Daoist Monarchâ, originates from the Heart Device Dao, Fate Path, and Reincarnation Dao. The mysteries of the three paths unite, forming over a thousand âHeart Sword Universe Realmsâ within oneself. During an attack, each Dream Universe Realm can transform into a heart sword to assault, using absolute might to destroy the soul origin of the enemy. The Thousand Heart Daoist Monarch had, on more than one occasion, annihilated Tenth Rank Quasi-Saints with a single thought..."
This is a purely Void Realm attack ultimate skill, aiming to directly destroy the soul origin of the enemy; even if it canât destroy it, it aims to cause severe damage.
As long as the enemyâs soul origin is severely damaged, the strength they can exert naturally decreases significantly, increasing the possibility of material annihilation.
Itâs incredibly formidable and terrifying.
"One person establishing over a thousand Dream Universe Realms? Even if they are all small Dream Universe Realms, itâs too incredible, how did this Thousand Heart Daoist Monarch achieve it?" Li Yuan was secretly astounded.
The hallmark of Void Realm practitioners is "Virtual and Real Coexistence", which after this, many soul attack might would greatly increase, but mostly only dominate among God Kings.
However, the true foundation of Void Realm practitioners is the âDream Universe Realmâ. Only Void Realm practitioners who establish Dream Universe Realms can control the power of the Void far beyond normal cultivators, enabling various soul attacks, illusionary realm assaults to make countless Emperor Realm Peaks and even Dominators alert and in awe.
"Too profound, I canât comprehend it at all." Li Yuan shook his head secretly. If âDemon Cliff Songââs entry-level part allowed Li Yuan to understand a little,
then âThousand Sword Dream Realmâ was like reading a book of heaven to Li Yuan, completely incomprehensible... Perhaps with meticulous research over long years, he might enter the basics.
But obviously, for now, Li Yuan found it difficult to start cultivating.
Soon.
The information about the third Sub-Saint ultimate skill âTime Dream Domainâ also came through.
Its creator is known as the âLight and Dark Sub-Saintâ. It originates from the Heart Device Dao, Space-Time Path, and Reincarnation Dao... Overall, it is somewhat similar to âDemon Cliff Songâ, both striving to make enemiesâ consciousness sink.
However, âDemon Cliff Songâ emphasizes constructing a real and vast illusionary realm to keep enemies from awakening, while âTime Dream Domainâ constructs multiple layers of illusionary realms. Although each layerâs might may be slightly weaker, it can delay the enemyâs return to consciousness.
There is no division of strength or weakness; itâs purely about the cultivatorâs own execution.
... The name of the fourth Sub-Saint ultimate skill is the simplest, consisting of only two characters âBurning Heartâ, and its operation method is completely different from the previous three ultimate skills.
The previous three ultimate skills either made enemiesâ consciousness sink or forcibly destroyed the enemiesâ soul origin.
In short, they all sought to perform soul attacks, essentially having no difference.
While âBurning Heartâ, it originates from the Heart Device Dao, World Dao, and Material Dao, aiming to construct an extremely massive vast Dream Universe Realm, then transforming the power of the Void into material force with the most violent speed, thereby greatly enhancing the cultivatorâs material attack might... this ultimate skill does not pursue the annihilation of the enemyâs soul origin.
Instead, it uses the Dream Universe Realm as an auxiliary means to pursue the strongest material attack.
"Such a special Sub-Saint ultimate skill." Li Yuan was secretly astounded, "The creator of this ultimate skill is named âTribulation Fallen Sub-Saintâ?"
This is also a Sub-Saint that Li Yuan had never heard of.
Hoo!
Li Yuan received the relevant information on four Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skills and fell into deep thought. Each skill had its own unique qualities, and cultivating and comprehending them would provide significant assistance to Li Yuan in further developing his own Eternal Dao.
But at the moment, Li Yuan can only choose one skill.
"âThousand Sword Dream Realmâ and âTime Dream Domainâ cannot be chosen," Li Yuan first eliminated these two, for a very simple reason.
The Eternal Dao that these two skills originated from were only accessible to Li Yuan through the Heart Device Dao, making cultivation extremely difficult.
And with only a few thousand years remaining until the opening of the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice, Li Yuan naturally had to choose the Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skill with the greatest chance of entry.
"Both Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skills, whether itâs âDemon Cliff Songâ or âBurning Heart,â are extremely suitable for me," Li Yuan thought to himself. "The former allows me to not fear group battles."
"While the latter is even more suitable for me, since my greatest strength has always been material techniques, whether itâs Spear Technique or Domain, they are essentially material attacks."
After pondering for a long time.
Li Yuan finally made a decision, and immediately, an even more vast and immense wave of information rushed into his soul origin.
"Haha."
"Another junior has chosen the ultimate skill I created?"
"Being promised by a Saint, it seems you are also a highly talented individual," a rather domineering voice echoed in Li Yuanâs mind. "I hope you do not disappoint this ultimate skill, and I hope you can surpass the Tenth Rank Quasi-Saint and transcend the sea of suffering."
"What I pursue is the ultimate physical destruction. Soul? Void Realm? They are just auxiliary! This is âBurning Heartâ!"
...
After a long time, Li Yuanâs consciousness returned to clarity, and he finally memorized all three layers of the âBurning Heartâ ultimate skill.
However, merely memorizing it does not equate to successful cultivation.
It is necessary to reconstruct the âHeart Sealâ in the Spiritual True Realm and imprint the Dao Pattern to be able to perform this super ultimate skill at critical moments.
This still requires a long period of time.
"You chose âBurning Heart,â created by the Tribulation Fallen Sub-Saint?" Commander Cangâer couldnât help but say, "It seems youâre planning to pursue the strongest material attack."
"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.
Soul attack? Ultimately, I am only at the God King Realm. In the short term, it is difficult to transform the Spiritual Void Realm into the Dream Universe Realm. My foundation is insufficient. No matter how defiant the Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skill, how strong can the soul attack be? It may be challenging to greatly impact an Emperor Realm Peak Expert.
But material attack is different.
My material attack has already reached the threshold of the Emperor Realm Peak. With the addition of the Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skill âBurning Heart,â the efficiency of utilizing the Power of Void will be tenfold or even a hundredfold greater than before... with hope for my material attack to reach the Dominator Level in the future.
"Other Void Realm Practitioners, even if they step into the Emperor Realm, generally only open up two Eternal Paths. Even with the cultivation of âBurning Heart,â the increase in material attack is limited," Li Yuan thought to himself. "But I am different; I have developed four Eternal Paths, with the Heart Device Dao being just one of them... using it as an auxiliary is the best."
Having one specialty, one can thrive anywhere.
Li Yuanâs cultivation time is too short to possibly cover all aspects, so strengthening the strongest side offers the most hope to gain benefits in the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice.
"Thatâs fine." Cangâer nodded; he wouldnât interfere with Li Yuanâs choice.
"Commander Cangâer." Li Yuan quickly asked, "Will I have the opportunity to choose other Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skills in the future?"
Although âBurning Heartâ is the most suitable choice, if feasible, Li Yuan also hopes to learn âDemon Cliff Song,â which is also quite suited for him.
"Naturally possible."
"If you truly can establish the Immortal Lake deep within the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice, it will be easy to master all four Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skills of the Void Realm line," Cangâer smiled. "Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skills, though precious, are ultimately for later generations to learn and comprehend."
Li Yuan understood.
Indeed, like other Treasures, if taken by oneself, it would mean a total loss for the Immortal Divine Hall... However, Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skills, while seemingly valuable, are ultimately not physical objects. If the Immortal Divine Hall is willing, they can allow a multitude of experts to learn them.
"Is there anything else youâre curious about?" Cangâer asked.
"Indeed, there is one more thing."
"Each introduction of the Sub-Saintâs Ultimate Skills mentions the Tenth Rank Quasi-Saint." Li Yuan was curious, "Does this Tenth Rank Quasi-Saint refer to the Emperor Realm?"
"Haha, that is indeed somewhat of a secret, but you will come to know it if you become a Supreme in the future," Cangâer laughed. "You should know, in the eyes of the various Eternal Relics, your Cosmic Cultivators, whether God King or Divine Emperor, or other cultivation system Emperor Realm existences, can all be classified as âQuasi-Saint.â"
