Chapter 622: Century-long Plan, The Edge Of Life And Death (3)

However, fifty years ago, he had methodically broken through to the ninth-level Domain stage, and then spent several decades to reach the peak of the ninth-level Domain stage.

For the past thirty years, Wu Yuan had been constantly accumulating insights and attempting to comprehend Life True Intent. He could already vaguely see the nascent form of Life True Intent, and was just a hair\'s breadth away from success.

But this final step was like an insurmountable chasm.

No matter what he tried, he couldn\'t cross it, firmly trapping Wu Yuan at this bottleneck.

Wu Yuan could only helplessly accept this situation.

This is Dao comprehension. Sometimes, breakthroughs happen without even realizing it. And sometimes, it can take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to break through. However, I reckon it\'ll take another fifty years to achieve it at most. Wu Yuan wasn\'t in a hurry.

The True Intent of Life, once grasped, could rival a fully comprehended Lesser Law in power. Naturally, breaking through was arduous.

Nine out of ten High Immortals couldn\'t take this step even after cultivating for a million years.

Wu Yuan was already extremely satisfied.

Even if it took another fifty years to break through, he would only be 220 years old when he would be able to conquer level one hundred of the two-star tower. That wasn\'t slow at all.

Moreover, over these decades, my qi refiner self seems to have made considerable progress. I don\'t know what I experienced, but I have even comprehended the True Intent of Qiankun, significantly strengthening my means of self-preservation. Wu Yuan\'s body refiner self mused inwardly.

The Qiankun Dao couldn\'t overlap with the Law of Life to produce devastating power. Yet, each had its own uses.

I\'ll take it slow. The soul of my body refiner self has also evolved to the Yuan Soul level, comparable to many Earth Eldritches and Earth Immortals.

His body refiner self wasn’t as extraordinary as his qi refiner self in soul talent. But after Wu Yuan transitioned to the Elysian Field phase, it had unknowingly surpassed the Soul Will level.

Now, with a single thought, Wu Yuan\'s Soul Will could perceive an area of nearly two million li in radius.

Among Earth Immortals and Earth Eldritches, this was considered impressive. The speed of his soul’s progress could only be described as terrifying.

My mana cultivation will have to remain at the ninth-stage Elysian Field phase for now. I\'ll focus on contemplating the Dao while striving to cultivate this grand ether art ‘Rending The Heavens’ to later steps. Wu Yuan thought to himself.

With a second-degree immortal root, he could cultivate another grand ether art after entering the Elysian Field phase.

Wu Yuan ultimately chose \'Rending The Heavens\', a grand ether art centered around the two Intermediate Laws of Qiankun and True Domain. This was a terrifying ether art that combined movement skill and attack into one.

Of course, as a grand ether art, one must fully comprehend the Law of Space to cultivate \'Rending The Heavens\' to its ultimate form.

The Dao patterns of any grand ether art were centered around a Greater Law, just like the \'Great Eldritch Divine Body\', which applied the Law of Life as its core. That was why Wu Yuan found it the most suitable one to cultivate.

However, in Wu Yuan\'s inheritance memories, there were no movement skill focused grand ether arts with the Law of Life as their core, only advanced ether arts.

Different Greater Laws have their own specialties. There are no all-rounders. Wu Yuan mused. Though I may not be able to cultivate ‘Rending The Heavens\' to complete mastery, just a small degree of mastery will benefit me immensely.

Fully mastering a grand ether art? That was something for Sovereigns to consider.

For the current Wu Yuan, being able to cultivate \'Rending The Heavens\' to the third or fourth step would already grant him terrifying power.

However, the Eldritch-Immortal war across Huanggu seems to be escalating. Wu Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling the gentle breeze caress his face.

Over the decades in the Archeldritch tribe, he had befriended various Eldritch Generals, High Eldritch veteran elders, and Eldritch Deities. Through the care they had shown Wu Yuan and interactions with him, he was further integrated into the Archeldritch tribe.

How long had Wu Yuan lived before this? So-called deep emotions were mostly born from shared experiences and beautiful memories, rather than mere words.

Initially, he was a cold observer. Then, he developed killing intent toward Imperial Majesty Lei Fu because of the Hou Cheng Tribe’s extermination. And now, Wu Yuan basically viewed himself as a member of the Earth Archeldritch tribe, lamenting at the fall of each Earth Eldritch and High Eldritch, rejoicing at the breakthroughs of other Eldritch Generals, and worrying about the intensifying battles. This was human nature.

However, according to the Snake Ancestor, the three Imperial Majesties of the immortal race should be plotting other schemes in this war, and are not just targeting me. Wu Yuan pondered.

Occasionally, he would communicate with the Snake Ancestor. At first, the Snake Ancestor and the two Eldritch Deities believed the immortal race\'s target was Wu Yuan, but as time passed and the war intensified, this speculation gradually faded.

It was too brutal! The immortal race repeatedly ambushed high-tier eldritch tribes and even Archeldritch tribes, even attacking the Earth Archeldritch tribe once, but never specifically targeted Wu Yuan.

Naturally, this lowered the suspicions of the Snake Ancestor and others, while also leading them to speculate whether the Immortal Court had other plans.

Of course, though their suspicions decreased, the level of protection they provided Wu Yuan wasn’t reduced by much.

However, due to the war, many High Eldritches had left for the Heavenly Pillar Mountain battlefield.

As of now, the number of High Eldritches within the tribe has likely dwindled to merely twenty or thirty. Wu Yuan mused silently. Yet on the Heavenly Pillar Mountain battlefield, over two hundred High Eldritches have gathered, poised for the final confrontation with the immortal race at any moment.

This was a force of unimaginable terror. Moreover, with Zhu Jiu leading the Eldritch Deities, they could have torn the entire immortal race asunder in an instant were it not for the three Imperial Majesties of the immortal race.

With the Snake Ancestor, Eldritch Deity Hou Tu, and dozens of High Eldritches, our tribe remains an impregnable fortress. Wu Yuan thought to himself. Unless the Immortal Court is willing to abandon its lair and commit everything to an all-out assault, they pose no real threat to me.

Wu Yuan wasn\'t particularly concerned about his own safety.

In another two hundred-plus years, I\'ll be able to advance to the Earth Eldritch phase. Then, I’ll make my way to Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Wu Yuan contemplated.

He needed to spend at least three hundred years at the ninth-stage Elysian Field phase. For Wu Yuan, that was still a long way off.

With his mastery over the Archeldritch Divine Artifacts, his current strength was formidable. Yet it still paled in comparison to the Eldritch Deities, lacking the power to decisively influence the outcome of the war between the two races.

"Hou Feng." A melodious voice rang out, followed by the appearance of a figure clad in fiery red robes.

Her beauty was extraordinary, her bearing even more so. As she walked through the sky, she resembled a raging inferno. All eyes were drawn to her.

"Eldritch General Hou Tong, you\'ve come for Hou Feng again," Hou Quan grinned. "Too bad Brother Hou Feng doesn\'t seem too keen on meeting you."

"You little brat, mind your own business," the woman in fiery red robes glared at him.

Hou Quan shrank back, throwing up his hands helplessly, not daring to say more.

Though both were Eldritch Generals, the woman in fiery red robes was far more powerful than him, with a formidable background. Naturally, he couldn\'t afford to offend her.

The woman in fiery red robes landed on the ground, taking a seat beside Wu Yuan.

"Why aren\'t you cultivating in the eldritch hall? What are you doing here?" Wu Yuan asked coolly.

"You\'re not there either," the woman in fiery red robes snorted.

"Even a High Eldritch is incapable of mentoring me, yet you presume to instruct me? Even when I\'m lying down, I\'m cultivating," Wu Yuan said with a faint smile, speaking the plain truth.

The woman in fiery red robes didn\'t believe him, but she couldn\'t refute his words; because Wu Yuan was indeed strong.

Even though he had concealed his true power at the Snake Ancestor\'s behest, the small fraction he revealed was enough to make him the undisputed top Eldritch General of the Earth Archeldritch tribe. His official status was that of a veteran elder-in-training. Naturally, the various rules and restrictions simply didn\'t apply to him.

While some of the more talented Eldritch Generals in the tribe had to take part in various trials and tutoring sessions, Wu Yuan was exempt.

"Hmph, if you can cultivate while lying down, I can cultivate just as well sitting here," the woman in fiery red robes huffed. "Hou Feng, don\'t even think about chasing me away today."

Wu Yuan smiled but couldn\'t be bothered to respond.

The woman in fiery red robes was named Hou Tong. She too was an Archeldritch bloodline bearer, with extraordinary talent, and the granddaughter of Eldritch Deity Hou Lu.

Having cultivated for just a few hundred years, she had already reached the peak of the Eldritch General phase, just one step away from breaking through to the Earth Eldritch phase.

Once, she had been universally acknowledged as the top genius of the Earth Archeldritch tribe.

Of course, that ended on the day of Wu Yuan\'s arrival.

At first, when Eldritch Deity Hou Lu praised Wu Yuan, she wasn\'t convinced. But after being defeated by Wu Yuan when he had just stepped into the Elysian Field phase, Eldritch General Hou Tong was thoroughly convinced of his strength.

Later, as their interactions grew more frequent, her admiration for Wu Yuan gradually transformed into infatuation. It was only natural to admire the strong!

In Eldritch General Hou Tong\'s own words: "Hou Feng, in the entire eldritch race, among those our age, only you are worthy of me. Similarly, only I am worthy of you. In the future, we could become Dao Companions like Veteran Elder Hou Qiong and his late wife."

Unfortunately, her confessions were still mercilessly rejected by Wu Yuan.
