Although it is only an auxiliary material, its preciousness is evident!
Marquis Tianyi continued:
"Of course, giving it to you is not for you to forge a Heavy Treasure; that's too far off. Its other heaven-defying effect is crucial for your current challenge to the Sky Eclipse Palace Lord's trial—it allows your consciousness to enter the 'Universe Origin Land' prematurely, even before reaching World Lord Rank!"
Universe Origin Land!
The core of the Primordial Universe! The place where the ten great origin laws manifest most clearly and directly!
"When consciousness descends upon the Origin Land, it's like facing the laws themselves! Comprehending laws there is hundreds, even thousands of times more effective than usual…!"
Marquis Tianyi's eyes gleamed with a burning light.
"It can greatly shorten the time you spend comprehending laws! This is an indispensable aid for you to challenge the seventh level!"
Qing Yu completely understood! And he was thoroughly shocked by the value of this gift and his teacher's thoughtfulness!
"Teacher…" Qing Yu's voice carried an unprecedented weight and gratitude.
"This kindness… your disciple…"
"Qing Yu." Marquis Tianyi interrupted him again, his smile becoming exceptionally gentle, even carrying a hint of elder-like benevolence.
"I have been stuck at the peak of the Marquis rank for hundreds of millions of years; the bottleneck is like a mountain, difficult to surmount. Mixed-element units? Points? To me, they are already external possessions; no amount of them can buy a single opportunity for a breakthrough."
He looked at Qing Yu, his gaze filled with sincere expectation:
"Watching you create miracles step by step, I, your teacher, seem to see another possibility. Rather than letting those riches, which are useless to me, gather dust, it's better to use them to help you! I, your teacher, consider this a kind of 'investment'!
Marquis Tianyi's tone was relaxed, with a hint of benevolent jest:
"You, kid, were taken as a disciple by the Sky Eclipse Palace Lord. If you become a super-existence famous throughout the universe in the future… at that time, just don't forget to give me, your 'guide' teacher, a leg up! Haha!"
This jest diluted the solemn atmosphere, yet it showed even more genuine affection.
Qing Yu looked at the unfeigned expectation, magnanimity, and deep-seated trust in his teacher's eyes, and a strong warm current surged through his entire body.
He was well aware of the cruelty of the universe, and even more so of how precious this unreserved support was! From his initial duty to this current selfless aid, treating him as his own, he engraved the friendship of his teacher, Marquis Tianyi, in his heart!
He no longer declined, took a deep breath, and solemnly bowed to Marquis Tianyi!
"Teacher will always be Qing Yu's teacher. Qing Yu will certainly engrave the kindness of his teacher's cultivation in his heart!" His words were firm and resounding.
Marquis Tianyi smiled with satisfaction and patted Qing Yu's shoulder hard:
"Good! Go, merge the world heart! You are only Universe Rank now, so you cannot continuously enter the Universe Origin Land. The effect of the world heart will last for about 100-120 years. Seize this opportunity well!"
However, Marquis Tianyi did not know that using the "world heart" in this way for a Universe Rank would have a significant limitation or hidden danger.
Qing Yu naturally didn't know either. He also wanted to try the effect of the "world heart" sooner, so he said no more and withdrew his consciousness from the Virtual Universe.
In reality, he sat cross-legged on the rooftop, carefully holding the "world heart," which carried his teacher's hopes and efforts, in his palm.
Feeling the vast and boundless origin aura within it, he no longer hesitated. His mental power slowly enveloped it, guiding this precious crystal to slowly merge into the center of his brow…
The moment the world heart completely merged into the core of his sea of consciousness, Qing Yu clearly felt that the slowly rotating eight-armed vortex core seemed to be infused with an indescribable power!
"World power?" Qing Yu instantly understood in his heart.
This power, which should only be born after the inner world of a World Lord Rank takes shape, was now budding prematurely in the core of his sea of consciousness!
This world power was not actively driven by him, but rather vibrated spontaneously at a peculiar frequency, as if resonating with some vast, unseen existence!
Qing Yu no longer suppressed it, yielding to the pull of this resonance, and submerged most of his consciousness into it.
Boom—!
An indescribable sensation, like returning to the cosmic mother body, of warmth and vastness, instantly engulfed his consciousness completely!
The boundaries of space and time blurred. His perception was infinitely elevated, infinitely extended, finally descending upon the endless land at the source of all laws!
Qing Yu's consciousness, as tiny as a speck of dust, was absorbed into a grain of sand.
The fluctuations of the ten great origin laws—gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, space, and time—had never been so clear, so directly revealed in his perception!
"If the clarity of my lower-tier laws before was '1', then now it's one or two thousand!" Qing Yu silently felt, comparing it to his time in Primordial Chaos City.
"The clarity of the Space Law and Time Law is over ten thousand! Although the clarity of my upper-tier laws has always been very high! But this is too astonishing!"
"Is this… the advantage of a World Lord Rank consciousness descending upon the Universe Origin Land?!" A monstrous wave surged in Qing Yu's heart!
"Cultivating and comprehending laws in this state… it's more than just rapid progress! It's simply… reaching the heavens in a single step!"
The immense surprise was instantly replaced by an even stronger will to cultivate! Such a great opportunity was right before him; how could he waste even a fraction of it?
"Myriad Tribulations' second-level secret technique!" Qing Yu, without hesitation, immediately dedicated his entire mind to comprehending the first 18 secret techniques of the second level of Myriad Tribulations.
Myriad Tribulations was originally created for comprehending laws, and in this Universe Origin Land, its effect reached an unprecedented level.
Countless sparks of inspiration burst forth in his consciousness like the starbursts at the beginning of the universe! A crucial node that previously took months to deduce now became clear in an instant!
"So that's how it is! The superposition of space-time vibrations needs to follow the law of 'ripple co-frequency'…"
"The trajectory of 'Space Scar Step' actually conforms to the decay pattern of the first layer of the ripple diagram…"
All sorts of insights surged forth like a floodgate opening! Qing Yu greedily absorbed, deduced, and verified, completely immersed in this unprecedented tide of enlightenment.
Time seemed to lose its meaning here.
"The first 18 secret techniques of the second level of Myriad Tribulations, which were originally estimated to take ten years to master…" Qing Yu's consciousness swam in the ocean of laws, feeling his comprehension rapidly grow, his heart filled with absolute certainty.
"Now… only three years! I will thoroughly comprehend and master them!"
One year… two years… three years…
However, just as this engrossed comprehension continued for about three years, an indescribable sense of heaviness suddenly descended!
That feeling did not come from physical fatigue, but from the deepest part of his consciousness!
"Ugh…" Qing Yu's thoughts instantly became sluggish, and the originally incomparably clear origin laws now appeared blurry and distorted.
