Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 99

Chapter 99

Silver Spirit climbed step by step.

Naturally, she knew that the first twenty steps ahead posed no difficulty for third or fourth rank evolvers.

They could easily handle it.

No matter what Lin Yuan said, he was still a Golden Mark evolver.

How could he linger on the first twenty steps for so long while beginning to comprehend the rules?

"Could there be some secret?"

A flicker of doubt crossed Silver Spirit's mind.

She believed that if Lin Yuan could reach where he was today, then he certainly wasn't foolish; every move he made was deliberate.

With this thought, Silver Spirit also stopped on the fortieth step.

Boom, boom, boom.

Soul attacks descended one after another.

Even though Silver Spirit could easily withstand attacks at this level.

She eventually realized that it was a complete waste of time.

"What nonsense secret."

Silver Spirit's expression turned ugly; she felt foolish for her actions.

Although such a long pause didn't necessarily weaken her strength, it definitely didn't offer any benefits.

Realizing this, Silver Spirit resumed her climb towards the mountaintop.

"My soul defense has increased by twenty percent, and the stability of the black and white Tai Chi 'Star System' within the Niwan Palace has increased by fifteen percent."

On the seventh step, Lin Yuan felt quite pleased.

These soul attacks, for him, were much more efficient than solitary cultivation.

"Regardless of whether I can join the Red Kun lineage, let's reap some benefits first."

Seeing that the soul attacks on the seventh step posed no threat to him, Lin Yuan stepped onto the eighth step.

His stay at the Fifth Star Cave would not affect his final passage through the Seven Star Cave test.

The duration of staying in each star cave should not exceed one month.

In the world of the Seven Star Cave, a mysterious space on a certain level.

Lin Yuan's actions also caught the attention of twelve figures.

"What is Lin Yuan doing exactly?"

"Why isn't he quickly advancing to the Seventh Star Cave and passing the final test, wasting time in the Fifth Star Cave?"

"Could it be that he lacks in soul defense, finding it difficult to cope with those soul attacks, hence dawdling like this?"

The nine figures below whispered to each other, speculating one after another.

The test of the Seven Star Cave was arranged by the great Red Kun Star Lord. Even they, the twelve disciples, had no right to intervene directly; they could only select disciples based on their performance in each test.

Lin Yuan's behavior, if not intentional, would imply either a lack of ability to resist soul attacks.

The intensity of soul attacks in the Fifth Star Cave was arranged based on the tester's own strength.

For example, if you were a third rank evolver, you would face attacks of the third rank , at most reaching the pinnacle of the third rank.

Lin Yuan was a fourth rank tenth stage evolver, facing attacks of at least the fourth rank. If he wasn't good at soul defense, it wouldn't be surprising for him to struggle against attacks of this level.

"Not good at soul defense?"

The nine figures below exchanged glances.

"No big deal."

The three figures above didn't care.

Soul defense can be improved later. If Lin Yuan is lacking in this aspect, he can be given some soul defense treasures in the future.

"At this rate, can he pass through this Fifth Star Cave in a month?" the figure on the left said with concern, his tone tinged with worry.

He was called 'Gu Ze,' the third disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord, also a presence surpassing the sixth rank.

Among the three of them, Gu Ze was the most optimistic about Lin Yuan.

"Take it slow."

Gu Ze thought silently.

Even if Lin Yuan failed to pass through the seven star caves, he still had the ability to bring Lin Yuan into the Red Kun lineage.

But in that case, Lin Yuan's status would definitely be inferior to other testers who passed through the seven star caves.

Moreover, without specific qualifications identified in the Seventh Star Cave, Gu Ze didn't know how to guide Lin Yuan's future cultivation direction.

The test of the Red Kun Star Lord's Seven Star Cave is not opened every time. The implication of this statement is that opening the Seven Star Cave test requires a certain price to be paid.

And the test effects in the Seven Star Cave are extremely precise. The seven different tests can roughly determine the potential of each tester.

On the steps of the mountain peak.

Lin Yuan moved forward step by step.

"It's not easy to encounter such uninterrupted soul attacks." Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Soul attacks are a very special form of attack, consuming the attacker's own soul power greatly.

And recovery is not as rapid as physical strength or vitality.

In general, a soul-type evolver, if they release ten or twenty soul attacks at full force, they would basically exhaust themselves and need to rest for a while.

So, Lin Yuan rarely found soul-type evolvers who could continuously attack him.

As for higher-level soul-type evolvers, Lin Yuan was also somewhat uneasy. What if the other party suddenly exerted all their strength? Would he be in danger?

"But the speed of improvement seems to be slowing down significantly."

Lin Yuan clearly sensed that the increase in soul intensity was decreasing.

If the improvement brought by one step at the beginning was ten for Lin Yuan.

Now it's eight or even five.

"The main reason is that the current soul attacks have less and less impact on me."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Only when he feels threatened can he stimulate his unrivaled insight to perfect his current physical and spiritual state, so as to better deal with the coming crisis.

But now.

Lin Yuan hardly feels any threat.

It's like the first star cave, walking on a hundred li black track.

Even without relying on other means, such as the Tai Chi field, Lin Yuan, relying solely on his physical body, can easily complete the track.

So from beginning to end, Unrivaled Insight has not realized the ability to enhance the body.

"There's still a long time."

Lin Yuan stopped on the twentieth step.

By now, he had completed nearly a tenth of the journey to the mountain peak.

Lin Yuan looked up towards the mountain top and saw that the silver-haired woman had already reached the top few steps.

But it was evident that the last few steps were making her extremely uncomfortable.

"It's a pity that I didn't exert my full strength. Just resisting soul attacks, even if I look again, I won't see anything."

Lin Yuan felt a bit regretful. He had hoped to gain more insights from her, especially regarding spatial comprehension, which was quite rare.

But for him to gain any insight, she had to take action.

For example, when the silver-haired woman displayed spatial traversal, Lin Yuan started to comprehend in that direction.

If he only focused on observing the person, then Lin Yuan's gains might be in other areas.

For example, meaningless insights like how to turn his hair silver, or how to change his gender.

"Friend, what are you looking at?"

Just as Lin Yuan was contemplating, a voice came from beside him.

She was also a Golden Mark evolver, a celestial pride that appeared only once in a thousand planets.

However, this Golden Mark evolver seemed a bit breathless. Climbing twenty steps continuously within a short period of time was equivalent to enduring twenty soul attacks, and each one stronger than the last.

It was quite unpleasant.

"Nothing much."

"Just looking at that Crimson Mark, seems like she's about to pass the star cave test."

Lin Yuan casually found a reason.

"Silver Spirit, I know her. Her master is a famous sixth-rank Falling Star, participating in the Seven Star Cave test this time, wanting to join the three of them as disciples."

The Golden Mark evolver said with a grin.

Staying on a certain step would continuously endure the soul attack of that step.

But the time between attacks was at least one or two minutes, and the intensity was consistent. So as long as you withstand the first wave, the subsequent waves would pose no problem.

"Those three?"

Lin Yuan knew who they were.

The three strongest disciples of the Red Kun Star Lord.

Each one surpassing the sixth rank.

"It seems that the Red Kun Star Lord is very good at teaching disciples."

Lin Yuan remarked.

Each one surpassing the sixth rank needed to forge their own path.

External forces played a minor role, but the Red Kun Star Lord was clearly adept at guiding disciples at this level.

"That's true."

"Not only that."

"The strength of the Star Lord is unmatched."

"During the war with the Insect Clan, the Star Lord revealed his true form and swallowed a nest of the Insect Clan in one gulp."

The Golden Mark evolver obviously admired the Red Kun Star Lord very much.

She was well aware of the Star Lord's many achievements.

"The Insect Clan nest?"

Lin Yuan's expression became slightly serious.

Each Insect Clan nest was presided over by an Insect Clan Mother Empress.

And growing to the point of casting their own nests, according to the strength division of the human race, all surpassed the sixth Rank.

A nest of the Insect Clan could continuously produce insect warriors.

First rank, second rank, third rank, fourth rank, fifth rank, and even sixth rank could be mass-produced.

Other races, to cultivate to the fifth rank or sixth rank , would often take countless years, and it would take tens of thousands of evolvers for one to appear.

But as long as the energy was sufficient, the Insect Clan mothers could produce without restriction.

A sixth-rank Insect Clan warrior might not be as powerful in frontal combat as a sixth-rank evolver of the human race.

But with their sheer numbers, could ten, hundred, thousand, or even ten thousand sixth-rank Insect Clan warriors be defeated by one sixth-rank evolver?

This was the terror of the Insect Clan, relying on swarm tactics, almost standing at the peak of the universe.

The war between humans and the Insect Clan didn't start smoothly. Fortunately, in terms of peak strength, humans were able to surpass the Insect Clan.

So the current situation was formed.

The Red Kun Star Lord swallowing a nest of the Insect Clan on the battlefield was definitely a great achievement, indirectly saving countless lives of human evolvers.

Of course, the nest was the source of the Insect Clan, and it was definitely heavily protected and not something you could deal with casually.

Many evolvers surpassing the sixth rank often hadn't found the nest yet and were overwhelmed by the vast swarm of Insect Clan warriors.

And the nest wasn't a soft persimmon; it also had its own means of self-preservation.

After chatting with the Golden Mark evolver for a while, Lin Yuan continued to stay on the current step.

After a while, he climbed a few more steps.

Similarly, he disconnected from the virtual world and returned to reality.

"A bit tired."

Lin Yuan rubbed his brow.

In fact, at the level of a fourth-rank evolver, the body hardly experienced fatigue.

Under the circulation of qi and blood, swallowing and spitting out the power of Yin and Yang pervading the heavens and the earth, it was almost comparable to a weakened version of a 'perpetual motion machine.'

But while the body wouldn't tire, the mind would.

Especially experiencing soul attacks, even though Unrivaled Insight slowly improved soul defense, over time, he still felt tired.

"Sleep."

Lin Yuan closed his eyes.

He hadn't slept for a long time.

Now was a good time to get a good rest.

One day later.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

He felt the exhaustion dissipate.

[Your Unrivaled Insight has endured a large number of soul attacks and comprehended the Soul Defense Secret Technique 'Mind Palace'.]

Hum.

Within the Niwan Palace at his brow.

A vast amount of soul power boiled, and the black-and-white Yin-Yang Tai Chi 'Star System' also vibrated.

Eventually, a transparent five-colored pagoda took shape, enveloping the entire Niwan Palace.

"Soul Defense Secret Technique."

Lin Yuan felt joy in his heart.

He could sense that outside the Niwan Palace, the invisible pagoda constructed with his own soul power had a defensive ability that even surpassed the 'Soul Calming Bell'.

What concept was this?

The Soul Calming Bell was a soul defense weapon that could guard the soul. Now Lin Yuan could achieve these effects without relying on the Soul Suppressing Bell? And even surpass it?

"In the future, even if I transmigrate, I shouldn't worry about soul defense."

Lin Yuan felt pleased.

When transmigrating through the Gate of Myriad Realms, unless he was transmigrating with his physical body, Lin Yuan couldn't bring the Soul Calming Bell with him.

But with the Soul Defense Secret Technique, even without the Soul Calming Bell, Lin Yuan had enough confidence in soul defense.

"Continue, continue."

Lin Yuan was full of energy, reconnecting to the virtual world and entering the Seventh Star Cave world.

Whoosh.

The Fifth Star Cave.

Halfway up the mountain.

Lin Yuan's figure suddenly appeared.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

The moment he appeared, the soul attack belonging to this level of the steps descended upon him.

However, this soul attack, before entering the Niwan Palace, was blocked by that invisible pagoda.

"Mind Palace."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but marvel.

The soul attack on this level of steps could shake the outer defense of Lin Yuan's soul.

However, at this moment, facing this Soul Defense Secret Technique, not only could it not shake, it couldn't even affect it.

"Disperse."

Lin Yuan's mind moved slightly.

The invisible Mind Palace immediately began to dissipate.

Since it was a soul defense secret technique, it was natural that it could be controlled.

In order to continue to use the soul attacks of this star cave, Lin Yuan would certainly not allow the Mind Palace to block the way.

Boom boom boom.

As time passed.

Lin Yuan increasingly felt that the soul attacks were becoming less effective against him.

Until finally

They had no effect at all.

Because even if Lin Yuan stood still, the descending soul attacks couldn't threaten him.

"Almost there."

Lin Yuan silently thought.

At this moment, he had already reached the last step.

"Let's go to the next star cave."

Unknowingly, Lin Yuan had spent more than half a month in this star cave.

Although there was still plenty of time before the one-month stay limit, since he couldn't reap any benefits, there was no need to continue staying.

"There are still many evolvers."

Lin Yuan looked down.

He found many evolvers scattered around the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain.

These evolvers were mostly Silver Mark evolvers. After passing the fourth star cave test, they came to the fifth star cave, struggling to resist soul attacks.

"Let's go."

Lin Yuan's figure flickered.

He directly ascended to the summit of the mountain.

Hum.

A slight spatial fluctuation came.

The next moment.

Lin Yuan had already disappeared from the mountaintop.

Heading towards the Sixth Star Cave.

In the mysterious space.

Twelve figures saw Lin Yuan pass through the Fifth Star Cave, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"He finally passed."

"The difficulty of the Sixth Star Cave isn't great. If you can pass the Fifth Star Cave, it's just a matter of time for the Sixth Star Cave."

Among the three figures above, 'Gu ze' looked towards Lin Yuan with a hint of expectation on his face.

He really wanted to know what Lin Yuan's performance would be like in the Seventh Star Cave.
