Each main vine of the Sha Luo Flower is tens of thousands of kilometers long, with countless branches on the main vine, and huge, bright flowers blooming in full glory.

"Whoosh..." The Blood-colored airflow, like fresh blood, formed a vortex, spinning wildly and creating ring after ring of vortexes.

The whirlpool suddenly expanded, as if becoming a scarlet curtain of water.

Call!

Shrink!

The previously expanding rotating water curtain suddenly contracted again, instantly transforming into a giant rotating blood-red sphere.

The water sphere's color became much thinner, and the fully erupted Sha Luo Flower floated within it, with various strange lights faintly flashing on its body. These strange lights seemed to have their own life, incredibly lively.

"Boom!"

The surrounding Universe Space began to tremble, and endless Blood-colored airflow arose, drifting and filling everywhere before merging into the giant rotating water sphere.

The water sphere's color deepened, and it even began to evolve into crystals, its surface covered with dense, blood-red crystals, creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

An invisible and strange fluctuation emanated from the crystal sphere.

Whew...

The boundless crimson mist continued to gather, and the mist swirling around the surface of the giant crystal sphere grew stronger and stronger. As time passed, the "crystal sphere" inside the mist could no longer be seen clearly.

Lin Yan, watching this scene from a distance, smiled slightly, "I hope this is a good opportunity for Sha Luo."

Those treasures of life's transformation are most effective when one is weak.

This made Lin Yan feel a sense of anticipation.

"However, this makes the success rate of Sha Luo Flower breaking through to immortality even lower. The universe is fair; for such a heaven-defying and powerful being to become immortal is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

"Fortunately, they are not Intelligent life form and have no requirements for the Universe Law. They can evolve by relying on external factors. Once they evolve, the universe will naturally enable them to perceive the Universe Law that are similar to their own."

If it's just about resources and treasures, there's always a chance.

He could clearly sense that the consciousness of the Sha Luo Flower had fallen into a strange state, and according to calculations, such an evolutionary process would take a long time.

Brush!

Suddenly, two figures appeared out of thin air beside them.

On one side was the Green Line Devouring Worm clone, and on the other side was a strange life form with an upper body resembling a human, a lower body consisting of four thick hooves, and a scaly tail.

This is a creature of the Prison Race, and also a World Lord level Life Puppet that Lin Yan created after arriving at the Purgatory Abyss.

His strength is at the World Lord Third Stage.

"Let's assign a clone to guard this place."

Lin Yan's heart stirred. "And I will use the 'Shadow' talent to hide on this Prison Race Life Puppet and control it to go to 'Prison Realm Mountain', hoping to gain something there."

Because he obtained the memories of the World Master puppet, he had a deep understanding of the Origin Land of the Prison Race. There were many dangerous places here, but the more precious the treasure, the more likely it was to be in the most dangerous place.

Prison Realm Mountain is truly a treasure trove.

It is said that many powerful members of the Prison Race rose to prominence after obtaining precious treasures within this place.

Lin Yan's eyes brightened slightly. "From my memories, I know that the powerful Prison Race member 'King Qi Sha' obtained the Clear Soul Yuan Dew in the Prison Realm Mountain more than 20,000 epochs ago. If I can find it, it will be of great benefit to me."

Knowing this at the time, Lin Yan decided that this was the primary objective of this adventure.

The Clear Soul Yuan Dew is an extremely expensive material with unique and miraculous effects, and is a special treasure renowned throughout the universe.

The Clear Soul Yuan Dew is the essence extracted from the extremely rare "Clear Soul Bamboo," possessing the miraculous effect of changing the soul and transforming it!

This is not like the "Nine-Colored Eye Fruit." The Nine-Colored Eye Fruit is a magical fruit that can only work on those below the World Master, while the Clear Soul Yuan Dew is effective even on Universe Venerable.

The vast universe has given birth to countless treasures.

Even a single drop of Clear Soul Yuan Dew is worth more than Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal. Most importantly, unlike the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal, which is useless to him and can only be exchanged, the Clear Soul Yuan Dew's miraculous effect of changing the soul has a more special significance for Lin Yan.

If it weren't for the Nine-Colored Eye Fruit, the Chaos True Spirit, and the subsequent upgrades from the Sacred Artifact Crystal, Lin Yan, despite his astonishing will, would not have been able to possess his current Soul Amplitude.

Lin Yan possesses the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone and the complete "Desireless" secret technique, making certain treasures beneficial to the soul extremely important.

Life leaps achieved solely through level increases have very limited effects.

"Because of the transformation of my soul by the Sacred Artifact Crystal and the 'Desireless' secret technique, ordinary treasures are of little use. I was thinking of waiting until I reached the Domain Lord level to exchange some in the treasure vault to see the effect, but if I could find the Clear Soul Yuan Dew, that would be wonderful."

Lin Yan sighed inwardly, "Even a single drop is worth hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit. It's insane. I wonder what the effects will be. However, among the world-renowned treasures, there is even the Ice Prison Green Dew, which costs 2 trillion Hun Yuan Unit per drop. It is truly enchanting."

The Ice Prison Green Dew originates from the Ice Prison Star Belt of the "Wu Hua Secret Realm". It is created by the Special Lifeform Green Dou Kou with endless effort, while Purple Dou Kou can create the "Ice Prison Star Stone" with great difficulty.

After making his decision, Lin Yan set off.

After determining his location, he knew that it would take a long time to reach "Prison Realm Mountain," but Lin Yan didn't care much. For him, the survival mission was the least important thing in coming to the Purgatory Abyss.

The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone controlled the Life Puppet to travel without much effort, so he cultivated while traveling.

He studied under King Tian Yu teacher in the Virtual Universe, and occasionally went to the Original Zone to listen to lectures by the King level Immortal. Although their strength was not as great as that of King Tian Yu, they had some unique insights that could bring Lin Yan a lot of inspiration.

Comprehending the laws and cultivating secret techniques, Lin Yan was like a precise machine steadily moving forward, or like a parched desert frantically absorbing nutrients.

Virtual Universe.

Original Zone, Lecture Hall No. 1.

Below, hundreds of geniuses sat in their seats, listening to a tall man, eight meters tall, wearing Silver Armor and with a thick dragon tail behind him, giving a lecture.

"So that's how it is."

"That's brilliant."

Lin Yan sat in the crowd and couldn't help but show his joy. This lecture had resolved many of his doubts, and he suddenly felt enlightened.

Of the Four Great Secret Realms, the Original Secret Realm is the most prestigious.

Not only can one take a super strong master as a teacher and receive personal instruction from Marquis-level Immortal, but the public classes in the entire Original Zone are all taught by King-level Immortal God, and there may even be Universe Venerable giving lectures!

How extravagant!

The person lecturing on the stage at this moment is none other than the Country Lord the Flame Crystal Universe Country. It is extremely rare to see such a super strong person lecturing, even in the Original Zone. This is why, in the Original Secret Realm a total of only 115 people, hundreds of geniuses can gather to listen to the lecture.

Except for a few who were really unable to come, almost all the other Primal Secret Region Member were here.

The Flame Crystal Country Lord belongs to the Virtual Universe Company faction and is the Tribe Leader of the "Yan Poluo race," a top human race. He is proficient in the Space Law, Time Law, and Law of Fire, and is very powerful among the Universe Country Lord.

Every Universe Country Lord Super Existence at least High-grade Venerable, and a few powerful figures like the Mu Xing Country Lord and the Gu Lun Country Lord are even Universe Overlord!

When Lin Yan was studying under the Mu Xing Country Lord, she mentioned that the Flame Crystal Country Lord had finally taken this step in recent years.

As Lin Yan listened to the lecture, he thought to himself, "However, listening to this Flame Crystal Country Lord's lecture seems to be giving me some pointers. Many of the things he said can be corroborated with 'Black Hole Evolution,' which has been very helpful to me."

He himself cultivated the "Black Hole Evolution" technique, so of course he knew the person in front of him. Very few people could cultivate the "Black Hole Evolution" technique to a high level, and the person in front of him was the only one Lin Yan had ever heard of.

But he didn't know...

This was the first time he had seen this Super Existence before him, but the Flame Crystal Country Lord had seen him before. He and Venerable Mang Ya had watched Lin Yan's entire process of breaking through the Tongtian Bridge 11th floor.

And it was after Lin Yan passed the test that he entered the Universe Tongtian Bridge and passed the 24th level!

The special guidance given to Lin Yan during the lecture was naturally intentional on the part of the Flame Crystal Country Lord. As he spoke, his hands moved, and Law Secret Patterns appeared in mid-air.

"Yes, that's it." Lin Yan listened carefully, and many of his thoughts were confirmed one by one.

For a long time--

That's all for today.

The tall Silver Armor- armored man with the dragon tail smiled as he spoke.

"Thank you, Teacher Xie!"

The hundreds of geniuses from the Original Secret Realm listening to the lecture below all bowed respectfully.

The Flame Crystal Country Lord nodded, gave Lin Yan a meaningful look, and then, under the fervent gazes of a group of peerless geniuses, vanished into thin air and left the Original Zone.

Lin Yan closed his eyes to organize and digest the many profound points that had been explained earlier, while he heard the discussions of others around him.

"Look, that's Lin Yan!"

"We've only been in the Virtual Universe for a short time, and we've already passed the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge. That's a monster. We're all Domain Lord level, and we've only reached the Tenth Layer after tens of thousands of years of cultivation."

Not far from Lin Yan's seat were the only two women among the Domain Lord level members. One had pointed ears and was as beautiful as a mythical elf, while the other had misty wings and watery eyes. They looked at Lin Yan curiously and whispered among themselves.

The elfin woman chuckled, "Speaking of which, you and he are related. His teacher is the Country Lord of your Universe Country."

"Mu Xing Country Lord... When I participated in the Genius Battle and won first place that year, I only met the Holy Lord once, and never the Country Lord." The woman with misty wings fluttered and eyes as calm as the ocean sighed softly.

At this moment.

It was quite unusual; no one left after the open class ended, and some members in other seats were discussing it.

"That's Lin Yan, hailed as the strongest genius among humankind?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Back when we were at the Cosmic level, the highest we ever reached was only the eighth level, and that was thousands of years after we joined the Virtual Universe Company. My God, how could such a freakish guy appear!"

"In just a few decades, his Law Comprehension has become comparable to that of 'Lin E,' who is ranked number one among the Domain Lord level. When I heard that, I thought it was a joke. It was too exaggerated. I'm afraid that in a few thousand years, it will be our turn to bear this kind of pressure."

"Don't forget, he took the route of analyzing the Law essence. I also took this route when I was at the Cosmic level. I spent thirty years in Chaos City and only managed to comprehend the seven simplest Space essence before finally choosing to give up."

Several World Master were also discussing among themselves.

"However... he has already crossed the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, but has not yet broken through to the Domain Lord level. Is he preparing to challenge the Cosmic Level Original Tongtian Mountain?"

"The Original Tongtian Mountain! Hmm, with his talent, he should be able to do it. I'm truly envious. If he can conquer the Cosmic Level Original Tongtian Mountain and break through to the World Lord level, he can directly receive a reward of 100 million points!"

"Given his rate of progress, if given a hundred years, he might be able to conquer the Original Tongtian Mountain."

Lin Yan rarely attends public lectures because he has guidance from King Tian Yu teacher. This time, it was because Flame Crystal Country Lord lecturer that almost all the Primal Secret Region Member gathered here.

Many Primal Secret Region Member were seeing Lin Yan for the first time, and he instantly became the center of attention.

The fact that they were able to pass through the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge in such a short time was not a question of whether they had ever seen it before; it was a precedent that had never been set since the Tongtian Bridge Plane appeared.

The greatest genius in history!

This sent shivers down the spines of almost everyone.

In a corner, a Cosmic Level Nine youth clad in Golden Battle Armor glanced at Lin Yan from time to time, his eyes filled with a mixture of jealousy and worry.

"Damn it! How could this happen in the Genius Battle! In a few decades, it will be the Cosmic level Qualification Battle. There are only three spots in the Original Secret Realm, so two people will have to be eliminated to go to the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm."

"The geniuses in this Genius Battle are truly terrifying. Lin Yan is too strong; there is no one who can compare to him. He will definitely take a spot. Even Bolan, who was completely suppressed by Lin Yan, I am not confident of victory."

He felt a little anxious. "This is really annoying. The Original Secret Realm and the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm are not comparable. If I am eliminated, it will not be easy to come back up."

"No, after I further refine 'Beast Fist', I must undertake Desperate Level Mission. I hope this will improve my strength."

Lin Yan opened his eyes, silently got up, and clearly heard their discussion.

He was already used to such discussions; he was accustomed to the praise and knew that if he slacked off, it would all turn into criticism.

The emergence of every peerless genius involves the allocation of a large amount of resources, not to mention Lin Yan's rapid rise. Many important figures in the human race believe that he will become a super strongman.

This is why the Mu Xing Country Lord accepted him as a disciple, and even the King Tian Yu, with his status, spared no expense in providing long-term guidance. Even the Flame Crystal Country Lord took special care of him.

And who knows when he first became known as "the Humanity's Strongest Genius"!

"The Humanity's Strongest Genius?" Lin Yan thought to himself, "If they knew about the existence of the 'Primordial Ancestor,' they wouldn't have said that."

"However... I hope that even when the world knows of the existence of the Primordial Ancestor, this idea will not waver. Besides, what I want is not just the suffix of 'genius'."

The strong are the eternal truth in this universe.

A silvery laugh, like the sound of bells in the Wind Queen, rang in Lin Yan's mind. "Master, it seems they still haven't been able to objectively recognize your cultivation efficiency!"

"They actually think it would take hundreds of years to conquer the Cosmic level Tongtian Mountain? How dare they!"

She said in an indignant tone, "You're underestimating me!"

"Stop fooling around here," Lin Yan said with a smile.

The Core Member can venture into the Tongtian Mountain at any time. There are three Tongtian Mountain: the Original Tongtian Mountain, the Primordial Beginning Tongtian Mountain, and the Heaven and Earth Tongtian Mountain.

If a member of the "Doomsday Secret Realm" successfully passes through three Tongtian Mountain in one go, they can be directly promoted to a "Primal Secret Region Member"!

Of course, such a thing is impossible.

Because it's too difficult.

The Cosmic Level Original Tongtian Mountain obstacle, was never intended for geniuses to pass; it was merely a towering, unattainable benchmark.

One needs at least the ability to pass through 12 levels of the Tongtian Bridge to have a chance of passing through. And upon becoming World Master, one will be directly rewarded with 100 million points after passing through the "Cosmic level" Original Tongtian Mountain!

Generally, only exceptional geniuses emerge once every tens of millions of epochs, and it takes at least several thousand years to achieve this.

"However, what you said makes sense. How dare they underestimate me like that!" Lin Yan communicated with Wind Queen.

"Yes," Wind Queen quickly agreed.

The members of the World Master are innocent!

"Master, are you going to venture out?" Wind Queen asked expectantly.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Well, that's fine. I haven't made any big moves in decades. They must miss my name."

During his years in the Mizong Galaxy, he never neglected his cultivation, especially when he cultivated the secret technique through the Black Hole Celestial, from which he gained many benefits.

Brush!

Lin Yan disappeared instantly outside the lecture building.

The Virtual Universe is a specially designed Plane Space.

The space was a vast expanse of land, on which stood three majestic mountains. On the mountainside of each of the three mountains were two characters emitting golden light.

Heaven and earth, the beginning, the origin!

Among them, the Original Tongtian Mountain is the most majestic and towering!

"Whoosh!"

Lin Yan appeared out of thin air in this plane, transformed into a stream of light, and quickly flew towards the Original Tongtian Mountain.

Lin Yan landed at the foot of the mountain, looked up at the towering, Original Tongtian Mountain, and then looked not far ahead. A burly Minotaur with horns was fast asleep on a large rock, snoring loudly. Beside him was a dark purple Giant Axe, which at first glance looked like countless pieces of congealed blood, making people's hearts tremble.

"Wake up and wipe your drool off," a clear voice rang out.

The tall, sleeping Minotaur suddenly sat up, instinctively wiping his drool, then stared wide-eyed at him. "You... want to challenge the Original Tongtian Mountain?"

"Mm." Lin Yan nodded gently.

"Haha, finally someone's playing with us!" the Minotaur laughed heartily, then roared, "White-skinned Ape, five women, come quick!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

From the other two directions at the foot of the Original Tongtian Mountain, a figure flew in. On the left was a lean ape-man wearing silver-white armor and covered in golden fur, carrying a black bamboo pole on his back.

From the distance on the right, flying in, was a strange woman with a snake's tail and a human body, wrapped in a semi-transparent veil.

As they arrived, they obtained Lin Yan's information.

The Snake-tailed Woman glanced at Lin Yan with her pair of watery, foxy eyes. "Your His Highness Lin Yan of the Original Secret Realm, you have crossed the eleven levels of the Tongtian Bridge in just a few decades. You are truly amazing. But at this rate, it is not enough to conquer the Tongtian Mountain."

"Is that so?" Lin Yan chuckled.

Boom!

A dazzling Gem Sword floated in front of him, and in an instant, countless thin, cicada-wing-like Mirror Crystal shot out, bursting forth with thousands of brilliant lights. Countless crystalline threads intertwined and pierced through it, forming an absolutely perfect combination.

In an instant!

The world fell into silence, and a black dragon appeared in the sky, hundreds of meters long, its body flowing with extremely subtle Law Secret Patterns.

"Hold head high!"

With a roar, the black dragon's body, carrying a hazy, enormous phantom, seemed to bear the abyss leading to the Netherworld Kingdom. Suddenly, its eyes opened, illuminating the world.

When one closes one's eyes, darkness descends; when one opens them, light shines!

Candle Dragon!
