Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 79 Venturing into the Illusory Sea
After explaining the two cultivation worlds to Yu Duan, King Qinghuan gave him many earnest instructions on precautions.

In fact, Yu Duan is very steady and reliable, which puts Qinghuan Wang at ease.

However, he still gave Yu Duan repeated instructions for a long time, urging him to avoid any unnecessary dangers as much as possible.

"By the way, after leaving Chaos City, your virtual universe permissions will also change, and you will be able to log in to the Immortal Altar and the Illusionary Sea Plane."

"My disciple, remember your master's instructions and try to venture into the Illusionary Sea."

Finally, King Qinghuan mentioned the most important matter.

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan quickly replied, "Teacher, don't worry. I will adjust my condition in the next few days and then go to explore the Illusionary Sea."

For thirty years, Yu Duan had been on edge in Chaos City.

For thirty years, day and night, my mind and consciousness basically never rested.

Therefore, Yu Duan planned to rest for two days before venturing into the Illusionary Sea.

"Alright, go ahead. I'll have Tu Yu deliver the resources I prepared for you."

……

After leaving Master Qinghuan's palace, Yu Duan did not immediately open the virtual universe, but instead teleported to the Immortal Altar plane.

Yu Duan's physical strength exertion skills were initially very low, but after a period of seclusion in the Northern Ming Holy Land, they improved to more than 40 times.

After being taught the evil cultivation methods of Master Qinghuan Wang, he personally experienced a state of perfect control over his body, and his power exertion skills soared to 59 times.

Subsequently, while practicing the Liver Time Sword Technique, Yu Duan naturally also focused on training his physical strength.

However, after Yu Duan's power generation technique was increased by 70 times, his progress slowed down.

Reaching a power exertion technique of 70 times signifies an extremely high level of body control, making any further improvement difficult.

Even among the core members of the virtual universe, not all members of the Primordial Secret Realm, who are at the cosmic level, possess the perfect power exertion technique.

However, all three veteran members of the Primordial Secret Realm at the cosmic level have mastered the ability to unleash power a hundredfold and have perfect control over their bodies.

……

The plane of the Immortal Altar is a continuous and majestic black mountain range with precipitous peaks.

At the summit of each mountain peak stands a golden altar.

Swish!
A streak of light flashed, and Yu Duan's figure was directly teleported to a golden altar.

Instantly, Yu Duan realized that his genetic energy, mental power, and perception of the fundamental laws of the universe had all disappeared.

Here, only the pure physical strength remains unchanged.

Yu Duan stretched his body slightly, then looked at the human-shaped target in the center of the altar.

"Within one second, use your hands and feet to strike the human-shaped target, calculating the force based on the minimum attack power!"

boom!
In an instant, Yu Duan burst forward, his figure breaking through the air with a sonic boom, and then he moved his body to spread out like a full moon, striking the target six times in a row with different parts of his body.

"94 units, 95 units, 93 units, 95 units, 97 units, final score is '93 units', 31000 points."

The Immortal Altar begins awarding points when your Power Technique reaches 50 units, with a maximum of 1000 points.

Further on, 60 units will earn 2000 points, 70 units will earn 4000 points, and so on. For every 10 units the score improves, the points reward doubles.

The final 100x perfect power technique will directly reward 5 points, with a maximum cumulative reward of 8.1 points.

"A power burst technique of 93 times, not bad."

Yu Duan is quite satisfied with his mastery of his power generation techniques.

As for any further improvement, Yu Duan will not deliberately train.

In fact, as consciousness and willpower improve, all martial artists will also gain greater control over the subtle aspects of their bodies.

Even if Yu Duan doesn't deliberately train, he will be able to perfectly control his body as his cultivation level improves in the future.

After obtaining the points, Yu Duan didn't linger and disappeared into the virtual universe in a flash.

……

The Primal Secret Realm, within the territory of Yu Duan.

At the summit of the majestic mountain behind the courtyard, Yu Duan, dressed in a loose-fitting martial arts robe, sat cross-legged with his eyes half-closed.

At this moment, Yu Duan did not deliberately try to comprehend the laws of time, but instead emptied himself of his thoughts.

Put aside all your insights and experiences from studying and analyzing the essence of the laws for the time being.

He simply calmed his mind, listened to the fluctuations of cosmic time, and responded to the 'breath' of cosmic time. In the blink of an eye, Yu Duan's aura changed, merging with heaven and earth, as if he had become a part of cosmic time.

As time passed, Yu Duan's mind gradually calmed down completely.

When no thoughts arise, nothing in the world can enter this tranquil mind.

For Yu Duan at this moment, everything in the world is an illusion.

Nothing exists, everything is empty, let go of thoughts and be pure.

As time passed, the 136 stars on the outer edge of Wuchen Space-Time revolved according to specific trajectories.

In the blink of an eye, almost seven days had passed.

Yu Duan opened his eyes again, his expression serene and clear, without any delusions, thoughts, or desires.

Tu Yu, who had been keeping an eye on Yu Duan, naturally noticed the changes in Yu Duan.

But Tu Yu didn't know why, looking at Yu Duan's gaze, he suddenly had the illusion that he himself was infinitely insignificant.

"Log in to the virtual universe..."

As soon as Yu Duan had a thought, his consciousness directly detached from himself and entered the virtual universe, and then was directly teleported to the Illusionary Sea Plane.

……

The plane of fantasy sea.

The vast, boundless black ocean surged and roared.

The wind howled, and waves and tides, tens or even hundreds of meters high, roared in from the boundless sea in the distance, crashing against the cliffs on the shore.

Yu Duan stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the islands covered in white sand on the dark sea.

The island's environment is tranquil and beautiful, and it is home to some plants that are rare and beautiful in the entire primordial universe.

"I also want to know... what level my heart has reached."

Yu Duan's gaze was frighteningly calm; it wasn't a kind of calm and peacefulness, but rather a kind of indifference.

By ignoring everything, one's mind naturally becomes calm and detached.

"boom--"

In an instant, Yu Duan's figure shot out, transforming into a dazzling rainbow, like a meteor streaking across the sky above the islands of the Illusionary Sea.

In the blink of an eye, the shooting star streaked across ten islands.

Each time he entered the airspace above an island, layers upon layers of oppressive consciousness swept towards Yu Duan, each layer stronger than the last.

Until the tenth island, the overwhelming and powerful pressure of consciousness crashed down on Yu Duan's heart, like a towering mountain collapsing.

Willpower, to be precise, is the mind, subjective thinking, and has little to do with strength.

The strength of consciousness, more accurately, should be described as the strength of the soul; the higher one's strength, the stronger one's consciousness will be.

Willpower, relatively speaking, is rather ethereal. It can't be said that it's completely unrelated to strength, as strength still guarantees a certain minimum standard.

This lower limit is referred to as the 'XX' level of will.

Yu Duan's level of consciousness is only at the peak of the cosmic level.

But in the face of that absolute will and state of mind, the soul and consciousness frantically coalesce and collapse, as if transforming into an unshakeable 'black hole' and 'singularity'.

Despite the relentless onslaught of towering waves of consciousness, the soul and consciousness, condensed to their zenith, remained steadfast and unmoved.

At this moment, in the deepest part of the Illusionary Sea, at the edge of the 21st island.

An aged figure dressed in a golden battle robe is resting here with his eyes closed; he is the administrator of the Illusionary Sea Plane.

Suddenly, a series of short but sharp notification sounds echoed in his ears.

"This is……!?"

The old man in the golden robe opened his eyes in disbelief. The situation that could trigger this notification sound was only theoretically possible.

"A ninth-tier cosmic-level being has actually reached the 12th island of the Illusionary Sea?"

"How can this be!?"

The old man in the golden robe was shocked to see Yu Duan fly over the 12th island in the blink of an eye.
