Panwang Dharma Body! Eye of Dharma Annihilation! Twelve Tribulation Bodies!

After a long time—

The intense pain subsided like a receding tide, and the ancient talisman completely merged into the Golden Vertical Eye. The area between the eyebrows closed again, leaving only a trace of broken gold, faintly containing Transcendent and unique power.

This moment.

Lin Yan reconnected his soul with his three avatars: the Green Line Devouring Worm, the Blood Hound, and the Ancestor Tree. Scenes from the past three thousand years appeared clearly in his mind, and he knew everything that had happened in the Cosmic Sea.

"It was expected that the various races in the Cosmic Sea would join forces to prevent me from entering the Tomb Ship," Lin Yan thought to himself. "The Rhino Emperor Game has actually allowed my comprehension to undergo a further transformation; it's truly astonishing."

The thought flashed through his mind, but Qing Cang's voice pulled him back to reality.

"What you have merged with is the Panwang Mountain Master Token!" Qing Cang said. "Only the successive mountain lords can inherit it. After inheriting this Mountain Master Token, you will be able to truly control the Origin Power of this world and obtain the true inheritance of the Panwang Mountain lineage."

Lin Yan nodded.

When he was merging with the Mountain Master Token, he discovered some of its functions, such as the ability to control the Origin Power of this world that Qing Cang mentioned... which is an extremely powerful ability.

The Heavenly Realm Stone is a naturally born Exotic Treasure, containing a world within it.

Just like in the Initial Universe, the Chaos City Lord used the origin of the Initial Universe to suppress and kill even the Universe's Strongest. The "Heavenly Realm" inside the Heavenly Realm Stone is even more advanced!

Lin Yan now seems to be perfectly integrated with the entire Heavenly Realm, but his strength is insufficient to fully activate the Mountain Master Token; he can only draw upon a portion of the Origin Power.

Certainly--

This has no practical significance; it's merely to uphold the absolute authority of the Panwang Mountain Master. Throughout history, the Panwang Mountain lineage Masters have never prioritized strength.

Moreover, there is no one else in the Heavenly Realm besides him.

However, it is not entirely useless. For example, Time Acceleration. Although it only draws on a portion of the Origin Power, it is enough to make the Time Flow Rate in any area of the Heavenly Realm reach ten thousand times that of the outside world!

"But there's something I need to remind you of," Qing Cang solemnly instructed. "During the heyday of Panwang Mountain, it had countless disciples, which naturally led to the formation of extremely strict Mountain Rules. These 'Mountain Rules' mainly restricted the disciples, with very few restrictions on the mountain lord."

"You should have known these things when you merged with the Mountain Master Token. There is one condition you must take absolutely seriously!"

Lin Yan pondered for a moment, "You mean the Core Inheritance is forbidden to be passed on to outsiders, right?"

"Yes." Qing Cang nodded. "The inheritance of my Panwang Mountain lineage is the culmination of the endless efforts of powerful figures throughout the ages, or important cultivation information collected from other forces. It is of immeasurable value and naturally cannot be easily passed on. It has its own rules."

"Lin Yan, although you have succeeded to the position of Mountain Lord, your strength is still too weak, and you are not qualified to open the mountain gate yet."

"Therefore... you may peruse all the inheritances of the Panwang Mountain lineage, and all the cultivation resources of the mountain lord level can be provided. However, before you are qualified to open the mountain gate, it is absolutely forbidden to Core Inheritance to outsiders!"

"Once the Mountain Rules are violated, there will be corresponding punishments!" Qing Cang said solemnly. "In the history of Panwang Mountain, the 13th mountain lord was stripped of his position for seriously violating the Mountain Rules, and his Soul Annihilation, and he was not allowed to reincarnate!"

"Spreading the Core Inheritance outside the sect is a serious crime that will lead to extremely severe consequences!"

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

Take the major powers in the Cosmic Sea as an example. Not to mention inheritance, even the map of the Cosmic Sea's Desperate Situation Map is strictly forbidden to be passed on. If there are no strict restrictions, any problem in any link will cause the endless efforts of the predecessors to go to waste.

Even he himself benefited from inheriting the estate.

"Of course, apart from the Core Inheritance, the cultivation information collected by the experts of my Panwang Mountain lineage is all-encompassing. These Basic Inheritance have no restrictions," Qing Cang said. "Although this cultivation information is simple and basic, it is more than enough to benefit you, whose highest level is only True God in the Cosmic Sea."

Lin Yan couldn't help but feel his heart surge with emotion.

How vast must the accumulated power of the countless strong individuals of the Panwang Mountain lineage be?

"Your talent is now set, and you have inherited the Panwang Mountain Master Token. Now you need to think about the path ahead," Qing Cang said. "Among the countless books accumulated by Panwang Mountain, there are many paths suitable for your cultivation. You can choose the one that suits you best. If you cultivate well, your strength will be much greater, and your future achievements will be even greater."

"I know." Lin Yan's eyes brightened slightly.

A sudden thought crossed my mind.

Wow!

The surrounding space and time were plunged into darkness, and in the distant depths of that darkness, an ancient stone gate appeared faintly. Within this huge stone gate, beams of light seemed to rise and fall, flickering one after another.

"The Gate of Myriad Laws!"

Lin Yan looked at the ancient stone gate.

This is the most important place in the Heavenly Realm, where all the ancient texts collected by the Panwang Mountain lineage over countless long years are stored.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan flew directly towards the ancient stone gate, which slowly opened, pouring out endless dazzling light. Lin Yan flew straight inside.

As soon as I stepped in.

All around seemed to be a vast, Dark Void, and within this void floated countless ancient texts.

Lin Yan casually picked up a book from the side, opened it and started reading. The words and pictures on the book transformed into Illusory World, and with each page he turned, a large amount of information was directly transmitted into his mind.

"It's actually a technique related to the Treasure Refining School." Lin Yan's heart stirred. "The Original System doesn't require weapon crafting, so it seems it was obtained from other forces."

Buzz...

Invisible energy gathered and condensed into a Green Divine Bird in this Dark Void.

"The Gate of Myriad Laws encompasses all laws... and can be roughly divided into five levels," Qing Cang laughed. "The highest level can only be inherited by the Mountain Lord! Originally there were four gates, but now only three remain, and one of them requires an extremely high level of cultivation to begin."

"The second tier... can be cultivated by the sect's super experts, totaling 476 techniques; the third tier can be True Inheritance core disciples, totaling 5238 techniques; and the fourth tier is passed down to elite disciples, numbering over 100,000!"

"As for the fifth level, they are all Basic Inheritance, vast and countless. For example, the book in your hand contains various information collected by the experts of Panwang Mountain lineage countless years. It can only be called low to mid-level, but if placed in the Cosmic Sea, it can be considered extremely advanced."

"These ancient texts are the foundation of our Panwang Mountain lineage. You can arrange the fifth-level cultivation information as you wish, but the first four levels are currently forbidden to be circulated outside."

Lin Yan couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Any book here, which would be considered a treasure in the Cosmic Sea, is countless here.

"You can read through all these books. Once you understand them, you should know how to proceed," Qing Cang said.

"Hmm." Lin Yan nodded, looking at the countless books with longing in his eyes.

Knowledge is power!

In an environment like the Cosmic Sea, knowledge is extremely scarce. Only the powerful inheritance from the Origin Continent can be his best teacher.

"Call."

Lin Yan gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

Then he began to peruse these ancient texts with complete focus. These were the foundation of a super power on the Origin Continent, so vast and profound that he became completely engrossed in them.

Time flies like water.

Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years...

What happens outside is a thousand or ten thousand years, but with the Time Acceleration, it becomes tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years...

During this long period of time, Lin Yan did not engage in any cultivation. Instead, he carefully read and studied these cultivation information. The experiences of countless powerful individuals and the philosophies of countless cultivation schools all became nourishment for his growth.

He may not attempt to cultivate in most cases, but by drawing inferences from one instance to another, he will broaden his horizons and be able to quickly understand the background, strengths, and weaknesses of various opponents he encounters in the future.

He would occasionally show a look of joy, as if suddenly realizing something.

Sometimes I am confused and puzzled, and I rack my brains to figure it out.

His understanding of the Universe Rule has improved dramatically, and he has an extremely profound understanding of the Original System. His understanding of "Tao" is like a parched desert gradually turning into an oasis.

Time passes.

Even with Lin Yan's astonishing speed of consciousness, and by adjusting the surrounding Time Flow Rate to ten thousand times faster, 16,231 years still passed before his research came to an end.

"160 million years!" Lin Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and sighed softly. "This is because the Panwang Mountain lineage has the most Original System of classics, which do not need to be studied in great depth. Otherwise, even if it takes tens of thousands of years, only a very small part will be studied."

The Universe Rule System must be studied to understand its essence and the workings of those Universe Rule, in order to create various unique techniques for application.

The Original System was different.

The Original System doesn't require complete comprehension; as long as you can execute it, you've succeeded. There's no need to delve into its underlying mysteries; it relies more on talent and inheritance! The truly extraordinary are incredibly extraordinary, while the weak are also quite weak!

"These years of research have brought about tremendous changes in my vision and understanding, but to translate that into real strength, I still need to rely on cultivation."

"These are the two books!"

Call!

Two books appeared in his hands, one gray and exuding an aura of death, the other a hazy black, with illusions faintly appearing around the books.

Through years of research, Lin Yan has gained a clearer understanding of his future path and can easily select suitable classic texts for himself.

In the lineage of Panwang Mountain lineage, there are three highest-level scriptures that only the mountain lord can inherit: "Panwang Dharma Body", "Eye of Dharma Annihilation", and "Twelve Tribulation Bodies"!

"Panwang Dharma Body" is a Body Refinement method created by Panwang.

This lineage cultivates the entire body into a vast universe, with blood like a boundless galaxy, voice like thunder in the sky, meridians like an endless land, and bones like mineral deposits and treasures. This universe is infinitely vast, containing endless space, stars, and land.

A single body contains numerous universes perfectly integrated together; every action it takes is a vast universe at work.

However, the entry threshold for this classic text is very high. Influenced by the Primordial Universe Origin Will, all cultivation information is concealed.

"The Eye of Dharma Annihilation" is the classic text that Qing Cang mentioned before. When cultivated to its peak, a single glance from it can cause an entire universe to disintegrate Annihilation.

The Twelve Tribulation Bodies, also created by Panwang, possess extremely terrifying defense and power, while the Twelve Tribulation Bodies Panwang Dharma Body super-strong vitality. The combination of the two undergoes a qualitative change, making it arguably the most perfect physical body!

"I am ultimately focused on the Universe Rule System. My body has transformed into Immortal Divine Body, so I cannot cultivate the 'Twelve Tribulation Bodies' for the time being," Lin Yan thought to himself. "Once I reach the True God Realm, I will also possess Small Universe. I can use the True God's Heart to quickly transfer the energy absorbed by the Small Universe to replenish the energy consumed in battle. This is not urgent for now."

"Of the two talents I have awakened, one is the 'Eye of Heavenly Punishment'. The 'Eye of Dharma Annihilation' is one I cannot miss. It is a lineage that leads directly to the King of Gods level, and its power is heaven-defying."

"The second is the 'Nightmare Technique,' which grants a natural talent for manipulating illusions and a stronger soul than others at the same level," Lin Yan thought to himself. "The best choice is the 'Thousand Eyes Inheritance.'"

Thousand Eyes, also known as "Thousand Eyes Smoke Beast," is a strange beast that is extremely adept at manipulating illusions.

Legend has it that it has a thousand eyes, each containing a different emotion. These thousand emotions are concentrated in one body, making it incredibly strange and mysterious. Once you see its eyes, anyone with slightly weaker abilities will be trapped inside, sinking into endless dreams and forever trapped in the Illusionary Realm from which they cannot escape.

Among the countless classic texts passed down in the Panwang Mountain lineage, the Thousand Eyes Inheritance is not even considered top-tier, but it is the most suitable for him. When this inheritance is cultivated to its extreme, one can reach the Chaos Realm, which is the "Chaos Master" of the Universe Rule System.

"God-Kings are extremely rare even on the Origin Continent, and probably only a handful across the entire Original System. Naturally, inheritances that can directly reach the God-King realm are extremely rare," Lin Yan thought to himself. "However, the Panwang Mountain lineage has two great inheritance holy lands. Besides the 'Gate of Myriad Laws,' the other holy land is called 'Mirror Moon Heaven.'"

"The Mirror Moon Heaven is a treasure that guided Panwang to create the Original System in ancient times. It has the magical use of deducing the methods of the Original System... Although the Thousand Eyes Inheritance is only Chaos Realm level inheritance, in the future, in my hands, I can completely open up my own path and elevate it to the King of Gods level."

In the years that followed, Lin Yan began to cultivate the "Eye of Dharma Annihilation" and the "Thousand Eyes Inheritance".

Unlike the Universe Rule System, which consumes fewer resources in cultivation, the Original System places great emphasis on resources and treasures, consuming rare treasures of heaven and earth to replenish itself.

"Call!"

Lin Yan sat cross-legged, holding seven strange black crystals in his hands. With a breath, wisps of black light flowed into his mouth.

This black crystal, called "Black Mang Crystal," contains a special energy that, even a trace of, can cause the ruler of the universe to perish. Yet, it is an essential item for cultivating the "Eye of Dharma Annihilation."

"Hiss hiss hiss..." The color of the black crystal faded more and more, eventually becoming transparent and turning into a large amount of powder that drifted away.

Why do cultivators in the Original System have increasingly extraordinary innate talents? It's because they absorb precious and rare treasures from the outside world.

Splash—

A hazy aura permeated Lin Yan's body, weaving into a gray cocoon of light.

Behind him, a massive eyeball, as large as a mountain, faintly appeared. It seemed to be the pupil of a ghost or god in the dark. Within that eerie eyeball, countless tentacles grew, waving in the air and exuding Destruction Aura.

Suddenly.

Lin Yan opened his eyes, emanating a peculiar aura.

"I'm about to... break through."
