Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 76: Piercing the Sky in Half

Then Jiang Ye opened the "Study Column" again.

Learning column, divided into theory and practice.

The theory is that many powerful people give public lectures, usually immortal beings, and occasionally even the "Lord of the Universe" will give lectures.

The practice column is divided into "Bridge to Heaven", "Sea of ​​Illusion" and "Immortal Altar".

"Speaking of which, when I left Chaos City, I finally made it through the 12th floor of Tongtian Bridge. According to the tenfold points reward, I earned a total of more than four million points."

"However, considering that my current strength is a bit low, I have to arrange for life support, spaceships and the like. As for the secret technique... I'll just forget about these points!"

Thinking about the exaggerated prices of those secret books that were useful to him, Jiang Ye sighed.

It seems that I can only wait until I break through to the realm master and use the hundreds of millions of points I got from passing through the original Tongtian Mountain to exchange for those secret techniques!

Then Jiang Ye looked at the introduction of the "Fantasy Sea" on the screen.

You can give this sea of illusion a try to test your will and the limits of your consciousness.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye’s figure immediately disappeared in the study.

There are a total of 21 islands in the Fantasy Sea from outside to inside.

The first island has 100 points, the second island has 200 points, the third island has 400 points... and so on. The 21st island is the deepest in the Fantasy Sea.

The Sea of Illusion and the Bridge to Heaven are all being tried by the Immortals, and even the Venerables. The reason for this is that it is safe because the points are high.

The plane of fantasy sea.

Rumble! The black sea roared, and the waves, tens of meters high, hit the cliff shore again and again.

Jiang Ye stood on the cliff, looking at the endless sea of fantasy.

"Being strong, besides talent, understanding, and hard work. Besides external resources such as secret techniques, what is more important is to have a strong heart!"

No protagonist in a novel can achieve supremacy by relying on external things. Only by seriously honing oneself can one reach the pinnacle of cultivation.

Although he has the help of the system, but...

So what! Having a system is also your own strength.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and then with a bang, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards the first island in the illusion sea.

With the comprehensive transformation of his body and soul by the Jade Disc of Creation, and the constant nourishment of his soul by the Xuanhuang Pagoda Pearl, Jiang Ye's will and consciousness have absolutely reached a terrifying level, at the very least no worse than Luo Feng who has no system!
The sea in the distance was dark. But at this moment, a white smudge gradually emerged in the distance, which was an island deeper in the sea. Only after passing through the illusion of an island, the next island would emerge in the illusion sea.

"This illusion is too fake, I give it a bad review!" Jiang Ye spat at the island, then instantly soared into the sky, turned into a stream of light, and flew towards the eighth island.

Yes, just now Jiang Ye had already entered seven islands in the Fantasy Sea.

The seven islands did not affect Jiang Ye at all! In the deepest part of the Illusion Sea, on the edge of the 21st island, an old man in black scale armor shrouded in a golden robe was sitting cross-legged. He was the manager of the entire Illusion Sea.

"Hmm?" The old man with black scales on his face opened his old eyes, looked into the distance, and exclaimed in a low voice,
"How could a little fellow of the ninth rank of the universe pass through the seventh island of the Illusionary Sea so easily? Many realm masters may not be able to pass through this island, but he passed through it so easily."

"Let's take a look at his detailed information. Hmm, Jiang Ye, the disciple of the Lord of Chaos City?"

“The Chaos City Lord’s disciple must have a good talent for the laws of nature, but as for consciousness and will, even a great being like the Chaos City Lord cannot teach him. Let’s see which island this little guy can get to. I just don’t know if he can compare with Luo Feng, the former disciple of King Zhenyan. It would be amazing if he can get through the ninth island, which is something that many peak realm masters cannot get through.” The old man in black scale armor smiled and looked into the distance, watching Jiang Ye breaking through the sea of illusion.

moment.

"The eighth island passed?" A trace of surprise flashed across the eyes of the old man in black scale armor. He stood up and said, "Did we really pass the eighth island? And it was so fast! Faster than Luo Feng!!"

The 21 islands in the Fantasy Sea are actually very similar to the 21st floor of Tongtian Bridge.

However, consciousness and will are very illusory and unpredictable. A little apprentice-level guy is not necessarily inferior to a world master-level strongman in terms of will alone!
Of course, the "intensity of consciousness" is definitely far inferior to the realm master level, but pure will is hard to say!
However, the sea of ​​illusion not only tests one's will but also consciousness.

"His consciousness is as strong as that of a peak world master." The old man in black scale armor said in a low voice with shock in his eyes.

"Hiss, how is this possible? Isn't he cosmic level?"

In fact, what the old man didn't know was that with the transformation of the Jade Disc of Creation and the nourishment of the Xuanhuang Pagoda Pearl, although Jiang Ye was at the cosmic level, his consciousness strength had reached that of a realm master. Although this violated the rules of the original universe, the Jade Disc of Creation and the Xuanhuang Pagoda Pearl were too against the will of heaven.

"The ninth island!" The old man in black scale armor had a hint of nervousness in his eyes. "The ninth island is the limit of a realm master. Very few realm masters can pass it. This Jiang Ye... a little guy at the ninth level of the universe... how could he possibly pass it? It's impossible."

The ninth island has white rocks and gravel and green trees and plants.

Jiang Ye was standing on a mountain only three or four hundred meters high on the ninth island. His eyes were indifferent, as if nothing had happened!
In just a few seconds, the illusion and the pressure completely enveloped Jiang Ye!
"boom!"

Jiang Ye only felt as if a huge mountain had smashed down hard on his consciousness. This was purely a contest of the strength of consciousness.

Even many powerful realm masters would feel dizzy and confused if their consciousness was severely hit. In the dizziness and confusion, they would fall into an illusion and lose without realizing it.

However, Jiang Ye’s consciousness is also at the realm master level, so this degree will not affect him!

"This ninth level is almost as strong as my consciousness!" Feeling the pressure around him, Jiang Ye thought to himself, the cosmic level has the consciousness strength of the realm master level, it turns out that the things given by this bastard system have never disappointed anyone!
"break!"

Following Jiang Ye's roar, an extremely hideous huge crack appeared in this fantasy world, and then the entire fantasy world collapsed. The ninth island scene appeared around it, and a white spot emerged in the black sea in the distance. That was the tenth island.

"The tenth one!" Jiang Ye flew directly there.

……

At the deepest part of the Illusionary Sea, on the edge of the 21st island, the old administrator in black scale armor showed a look of shock on his face:
"It's really a world master-level consciousness, this...?"

Although Luo Feng's consciousness was strong before, it had not reached the realm master level, but only remained at the domain master level. This was mainly because Luo Feng's original body, the golden-horned giant beast, was at the domain master level.

“Before, Luo Feng relied on his terrifying willpower to break through the ninth sea of illusion. I just don’t know what Jiang Ye’s willpower is like.” Being able to enter the sea of illusion means that one has excellent talent.

With good talent and excellent resources, a genius with an extremely terrifying will has only two paths: to reach a dead end and perish, or to become a super strong!
As Jiang Ye descended on the tenth island, the illusion of the tenth island descended with an incomparably terrifying pressure...

"Boom!"

It was as if the sky was collapsing and crashing down, directly hitting Jiang Ye's consciousness. In almost an instant, Jiang Ye's consciousness was almost completely shattered.

The gap between the Realm Master and the Immortal is too big.

However, Jiang Ye is not a weak-willed person, as he is able to become a special forces soldier.

"Congee!
Jiang Ye roared from deep within his consciousness, and his almost disintegrated consciousness instantly gathered together, and he regained consciousness.

Will is equal to general!
Consciousness is equal to soldiers!
"Hey, Nighthawk, why are you still standing there? Come on! Go and get your award! You've done a great job this time, the captain will personally present the award to you!"

The scene changed, and in the moment when Jiang Ye's consciousness was hit and he was in a daze, an illusion came. A strong man in military uniform walked over. This illusion even directly invaded Jiang Ye's memory, trying to merge with Jiang Ye's memory.

Looking at his familiar comrades, Jiang Ye's deepest memories were instantly evoked: "Thunderbird..."

"You're pissing me off by treating my comrades as illusions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ye's consciousness condensed into a giant sword. He directly discarded all obstacles of the illusion and slashed at the sky with the sword, but it only caused the illusion world to tremble slightly.

Rumble!
In just a moment, the entire illusion collapsed, and the scene of the tenth island appeared around it.

Looking at the next fantasy island

Then Jiang Ye soared into the sky, with all his might and determination.
Eleven islands, destroyed!
Twelve islands, broken!
……

Fourteen islands, broken!
The old man in black scales swallowed his throat, "This kind of person with extremely terrifying willpower can survive in many life-and-death disasters as long as there is a glimmer of hope. Unless he dies in despair, he will definitely become a super strong man!"

"Report! This news must be reported," the old man in black scale armor said solemnly.

……

“Huh, the consciousness pressure of this fifteenth seat has reached the king level! It shattered my consciousness in just a moment! I really don’t know how Hong, who was only at the cosmic level in the original book, could break through the twenty levels and was only one step away from the twenty-first level!” Jiang Ye felt the terrifying consciousness pressure around him. If it weren’t for the Xuanhuang Pagoda Pearl, he would have been defeated by the pressure of the immortal king at this moment!
However, it is precisely because of the protection of the Xuanhuang Pagoda Bead, a heaven-defying treasure, that Jiang Ye is even more curious. How did Hong, who did not have any cheats in the original work, get through?

According to the original book, cultivation is divided into three levels of state of mind.

The first level is to see the nature of the mind: this realm emphasizes the unity of will and consciousness. The will controls consciousness. The mind is like a mirror, without a trace of dust. It is absolutely pure and exclusive, pointing directly to the original heart. Jiang Ye tends to this level, which is also the path taken by most practitioners!

The second level is the unity of nature and man, and the heart of a child: in this realm, the state of mind reaches perfection, with both hardness and softness, and yin and yang in harmony. In the face of strong pressure, one can remain unaffected and the resistance ability is greatly improved.

The third level is that the center is infinite and all-embracing: the mind at this level is infinitely broad and able to embrace everything. No matter how strong the external pressure is, one will not be oppressed and collapse.

The three states of mind have no distinction between high and low, but actually represent three paths.

But since they are just different paths, why can Hong reach the 21st floor, Lei Shen can reach the 14th or 15th floor, but Luo Feng only reached the 10th floor?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Ye, who still couldn't figure it out, immediately blocked the Xuanhuang Pagoda Bead.

In just a moment, the pressure of this king-level immortal consciousness crushed Jiang Ye's consciousness and collapsed! Withdrew from the illusion sea!
The most powerful defensive magic weapon in the Three Realms, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth, has undergone a system transformation. The Xuanhuang Tower beads that are part of this magic weapon have also been endowed with the function of soul defense. As long as the soul attack does not exceed the limit of the Xuanhuang Tower beads, it will not be able to break Jiang Ye's defense.

In other words, with the help of Xuanhuang Tower, Zhujiang Ye can directly pass through all the islands in the Fantasy Sea.

As for saying that this is a virtual universe, the Xuanhuang Pagoda Pearl said, so what!

However, Jiang Ye did not do so, although the points reward in this illusion sea was indeed generous.

After all, in the original novel, Hong broke through the 20th floor, which caused a sensation among the human high-level officials, and they launched a very detailed investigation into Hong and Luo Feng.

They even asked the strongest man of the human race, Giant Axe, to go back in time on Earth to leak the secrets of the Earth. Jiang Ye didn't want to be checked like this.

Although they couldn't check the system and the Jade Disc of Creation.

The human race is also very tolerant of geniuses within the race.

But it is definitely not worth it to take unknown risks just for these few points. After all, in the original novel, Luo Feng did not dare to let the human community know when he got the Star Tower.

Sometimes it's enough to behave in a way that goes against the will of heaven, but if you really poke the sky, then something bad will happen!

But although Jiang Ye himself did not feel that he had pierced the sky, he had at least pierced half of it. After all, this fifteenth level of the illusion sea is comparable to being crowned a king. It takes a cosmic-level person to get here!

Horror!
In the hazy chaotic air current at the highest point of Thunder Island, there is a temple. It is the highest temple in the entire Thunder Island.
"Whoosh..."

"Ok?"

Jiang Ye, who suddenly appeared in the temple, looked around in confusion. There was not a single servant or follower in the temple. It was empty, with only the omnipresent chaotic airflow.

"Jiang Ye!" A voice came from the depths of the chaotic airflow.

"Teacher." Jiang Ye said respectfully
"I didn't expect you to be able to reach the fifteenth illusion sea. Well done!" The Lord of Chaos City rarely praised Jiang Ye.

"Fortunately, I encountered a treasure at the stellar level. After using it, my consciousness was greatly enhanced! That’s how I achieved what I have today!" Jiang Ye did not lie. After all, isn’t the system also a treasure?

"There are so many opportunities in the universe. You are lucky to encounter a great opportunity! But don't let anyone know that you have entered the Sea of Illusions!" The voice of the Lord of Chaos spread through the chaotic energy.

"Yes, teacher." Jiang Ye was extremely respectful.

"Go ahead." A voice came from the air flow.

Jiang Ye bowed respectfully and then disappeared out of thin air.
