Lin Yi silently calculated in his mind.

Including this 50,000- Epoch of seclusion, nearly 850,000 Epoch have passed since I arrived at Constant Island.

The exchange period for Constant Island is one million Epoch, and there are about 150,000 Epoch remaining.

"150,000 Epoch..."

Lin Yi silently recited the number in his mind, his brows furrowing slightly.

Breaking through to the Constant Source Realm is something that can't be predicted in terms of time. He wasn't really sure if 150,000 Epoch would be enough for him to break through.

"Forget it, who cares?"

Lin Yi muttered something to himself and stood up from the stone platform.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Prepare first, and if you can break through, then do so; if it's too late, go back and we'll deal with it later."

Breaking through to the Constant Source Realm is no trivial matter; countless geniuses have failed at this step.

Although Lin Yi was confident in himself, confidence is one thing, but all the necessary preparations were still essential.

With this in mind, Lin Yi focused a wisp of his consciousness into the emblem of the Constant Guard.

A golden curtain of light silently unfolded before him.

The list of exchangeable privileges for the Constant Source Realm -level permissions was much longer than that for the Eternal Source Realm- level permissions, and the densely packed entries flashed past his eyes at high speed.

Lin Yi didn't waste time wandering around and went straight to the point.

The first thing that pops up is a row of classic texts explaining how to perceive and come into contact with the Chaos Origin Law.

Lin Yi quickly glanced through the summaries of these classic texts.

These classic texts each have a different focus.

Some approaches start with the evolutionary relationship between laws and Origin Law, some with the resonance between the Soul Origin and the Chaos Source Sea, and others use the analysis of the cultivation experiences of the sages of the Constant Source Realm to deduce the methodology of comprehending Origin Law.

Although they take different directions, they are essentially answering the same question.

How to advance from the Eternal Source Realm to the Constant Source Realm.

At the end of each classic work, there are some little tricks that only the author discovered, and these little tricks are the most valuable part of each classic work.

Lin Yi did not dwell on these classic texts.

He directly selected the three most expensive books on the exchange list, then clicked to exchange, spending a total of over 150,000 contribution points.

After all, with the Commander's extra one million contribution points, his total contribution points were close to two million, so he wasn't short of money.

Then Lin Yi continued scrolling down.

Origin Law Technique.

There was really no choice.

Because, in the exchange list for the Constant Source Realm, there is only one book explaining how to comprehend the Origin Law. Almost all Constant Source Realm in the entire empire study this one.

<The Way of Origin Law>.

Author: Dao Lord Yican Can.

It is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower.

Lin Yi's gaze fell on this line of text, and he felt a surge of emotion.

The origins of this cultivation technique are known to almost all experts above the Eternal Source Realm level.

That was during the imperial era, when the entire Chaos Cosmic Sea was under the rule of the Emperor.

The cultivation system back then was much more prosperous than it is now, and there were many more Dao Lord- level experts. Various cultivation methods and classics flourished, with no fewer than ten thousand cultivation methods explaining the Way of Origin Law alone.

Until Yican Dao Lord Can appeared out of nowhere and compiled this book, "The Way of Origin Law".

The moment this cultivation technique was published, it caused an extremely strong shock among the empire's top brass.

It is said that the Emperor personally invited Yican Dao Lord the Imperial Palace, where the two discussed Dao for a full seven hundred Universal Epoch.

After the discussion, the Emperor designated this cultivation method as the standard cultivation method for the empire's Constant Source Realm.

There's no way around it, the <Way of Origin Law> is just too powerful.

It is profound yet simple, insightful and penetrating. Compared to it, the writings of those Dao Lord are simply unreadable.

It is said that at the time, no fewer than ten Dao Lord silently destroyed their own compiled cultivation methods after reading the "Way of Origin Law," and never mentioned the Way of Origin Law cultivation methods again.

Even the Emperor himself admitted that in terms of Origin Law Techniques, Yican Dao Lord had reached his limit, and even what he wrote himself could not compare.

Therefore, other cultivation methods are basically no longer widely circulated, and they are certainly not on the exchange list.

170,000 contribution points...

Lin Yi glanced at the price without even blinking.

I bought it.

After exchanging for the main cultivation technique, Lin Yi still had a little over 1.6 million contribution points left.

After selecting the cultivation method, the next step is the Origin Law True Body Condensation Method.

Lin Yi had long had a goal regarding this.

The Nine Radiant True Spirit Art, written by the Emperor.

Thus concludes the cultivation method created by the Emperor.

Because each Path Source Realm has its own path, the Emperor did not create Path Source Realm cultivation method. The previous <Nine-Seal Vast Cosmos> and <Nine-Origin Constant Pact> were essentially in service of this <Nine Luminaries>.

The Nine Radiant True Spirit Art is a method for refining the Origin Law True Body, personally created by the Emperor, and consists of nine levels.

The Origin Law True Body condensed through practicing this technique is called the "Nine Luminaries True Body". With each advancement, in addition to continuously strengthening the True Body Main Body, one can also condense a true treasure for the True Body based on the characteristics of the Origin Constant Harmony.

Compared to ordinary Constant Treasure, True Treasures are treasures used by the Origin Law True Body. These treasures can greatly enhance the power of the Origin Law True Body, and there are very few materials suitable for forging True Treasures.

Moreover, after spending a huge amount of money to obtain the raw materials for the True Treasure, those Constant Lord still had to forge the True Treasure themselves. Furthermore, the stronger the True Treasure, the higher the probability of failure, which often resulted in them losing everything.

As a result, the saying "Refining treasures can ruin one's life" has even circulated.

Therefore, only those veteran High-Rank Constant Lord usually possess one or two genuine treasures.

After completing the <Nine Radiant True Spirit Art>, one can directly possess nine top-tier true treasures, each perfectly suited to their own needs!

Furthermore, once the <Nine Radiant True Spirit Art> is perfected, it can fuse the nine true treasures, resulting in unparalleled power!

Of course, that's still too far off for Lin Yi right now.

Currently, he thinks the Nine Radiant True Spirit Art is great in every way, except that it lacks the function of increasing soul comprehension.

Lin Yi sighed inwardly, "Perhaps the Emperor thought that since everyone has cultivated to this level, there shouldn't be any intellectually disabled people left..."

After purchasing the necessary cultivation techniques, Lin Yi waited patiently.

A few days later, the management system notified the hospital that the delivery Mechanical Servants had arrived.

Lin Yi easily accepted the goods and then returned to his cultivation room.

He first carefully stored the memory crystal of the <Nine Radiant True Spirit Art> separately.

This is not the time to study this technique; he should at least wait until he successfully touches the threshold of the Origin Law before he is qualified to look at it.

As for the "Way of Origin Law, Volume 1" and the three classic texts on the experience of breaking through to the Constant Source Realm, I need to start studying them now.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged and first took out three crystals that recorded his insights on breaking through to the Constant Source Realm, absorbing them one by one.

These three classic works each have their own emphasis.

The author of the first classic was a Constant Guard named Huo Yan, a high-level Constant Source Realm expert.

His approach was extremely pragmatic; the entire book revolved around one theme: how to touch upon the Origin Law using the simplest and most reliable method.

"Don't try to get fat in one bite. The Chaos Origin Law are unimaginably vast. Let alone someone at the Eternal Source Realm Completion, even an old fellow like me, after countless years, can only glimpse a tiny corner of it. Therefore, the biggest taboo for beginners is to be greedy and try to comprehend the entire Origin Law system at once. That's tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock."

"The correct approach is to choose a tiny, tiny point—a point you are most confident in. Then repeatedly sense it, repeatedly touch it, once isn't enough, try ten times, ten times isn't enough, try a hundred times, until its imprint is left in the Soul Origin."

"The moment you successfully imprint the first Origin Law mark upon the Soul Origin, you have already stepped one foot into the threshold of the Constant Source Realm."

The second classic text goes to the other extreme.

The author is a Dao Lord from an imperial era, and the entire book talks about mindset and emptiness.

"Don't deliberately pursue the Origin Law. The more you try, the further it gets from you. The Chaos Origin Law is not a mountain you need to conquer, but a river you are already in without realizing it. You are a fish in this river, and the water around you is the Chaos Origin Law. What you need to do is touch it and feel it."

"When you completely calm your mind and stop seeking, the Chaos Origin Law will naturally manifest themselves before you."

The third book, in comparison, is more like a reference book.

The author's name is "Yuan Lian," an inscription master within the Constant Guard system, at the Constant Source Realm Completion.

He took a different approach, drawing an analogy between the process of touching the Origin Law and the inscription circuit.

He believes that the understanding of the Chaos Origin Law and the driving force of the inscription are connected in underlying logic. Both involve first understanding the basic structure of the inscription circuit, and then filling it with the power of the law to drive its operation.

The same applies to the Law Inscriptions, the Origin Law Inscriptions, and the Chaos Origin Law itself can also be regarded as a vast natural inscription circuit that covers the entire Chaos Cosmic Sea.

"If you have some expertise in inscription, you might consider the Chaos Origin Law as the most complex and profound inscription circuit you've never analyzed before. Deconstruct it using the methods for analyzing inscriptions, and try to understand it using the mindset of driving inscriptions. You might be pleasantly surprised."

Lin Yi didn't spend time studying these three classic texts himself. He only glanced at them before deciding to let his clones exert their last bit of effort, having them each study these three secret texts that would help them break through to the Constant Source Realm.

As for himself, he was responsible for studying "The Way of Origin Law, Volume 1".

Lin Yi gently placed the last crystal, which glowed with a pale blue light, between his eyebrows.

On the surface of the crystal, the pale blue patterns instantly lit up.

A massive Information Flow suddenly flooded into his consciousness.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the stone platform, his breathing gradually becoming extremely light and slow.

The Spiritual Enlightenment Qi burst forth.

He could sense that he was re-examining the relationship between the Chaos Law and the Chaos Origin Law from a completely new perspective.

It felt as if he used to see things through a blurry crystal, and now someone had cleaned that crystal for him.

Meanwhile, the clone was also absorbing the contents of the three classic texts at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, more than five thousand Epoch have passed.

On this day, Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes on the stone platform and let out a long sigh.

Over five thousand Epoch, the clone finally thoroughly studied the three scriptures that taught people how to access the Chaos Origin Law.

He himself had also understood the first 3% of "The Way of Origin Law, Volume 1".

Thanks to his newfound understanding, Lin Yi discovered that while these theories sounded complex, they weren't as difficult to grasp as he had imagined.

Of course, theory is theory, and it's still a very, very long way from truly understanding the Origin Law.

Lin Yi understood this principle very well.

Therefore, some other preparatory work is still needed.

With that in mind, Lin Yi directly activated the Constant Island Emblem exchange interface.

For something as significant as the Constant Source Realm, relying solely on classical texts and one's own comprehension to delve into it is certainly one approach.

However, he still had nearly 200,000 Constant Island Points, which were just sitting there. Given his abundant resources, it was somewhat unusual that he didn't use any auxiliary methods for such a significant undertaking as breaking through to the Constant Source Realm.

So he decided to splurge a little.

Lin Yi brought up the category of cultivation aids in the exchange interface and selected the one with the longest duration.

[Cold Veil Prism Crystal: A one-time cultivation aid that increases Origin Law Comprehension by 30%-55% for 100,000 Epoch. Exchange requirements: 1 Advanced Trial Attempt, 100,000 Constant Island Points]

Lin Yi's gaze lingered on the line of description for a moment.

The effect is decent, and the key is that it lasts for a full 100,000 Epoch, which is long enough and very suitable for him.

As for whether he can break through to the Constant Source Realm after 100,000 Epoch, that depends on fate.

Lin Yi clicked "redeem" directly.

[Redeem successful]

[Current Constant Island Points Balance: Approximately 90,000]

[Current remaining trial attempts: Advanced trial attempts × 1]

After exchanging for the auxiliary treasures, Lin Yi casually opened the auxiliary cultivation equipment and directly selected the Constant Source Tower.

The Constant Source Tower is a special cultivation tower located deep within the inner island, specifically designed for those attempting to break through to the Constant Source Realm.

The tower contains a special inscription array that can slightly increase affinity with the Origin Law, but the effect is much weaker than that of the Prism, only increasing it by about 3%-5%.

However, the most important function of the Constant Source Tower is not to improve comprehension, that is just a side function. Its main function is to provide the massive amount of Chaos Power required to break through to the Constant Source Realm.

Renting the right to use the Constant Source Tower requires 20,000 Points 100,000 Epoch.

Lin Yi also redeemed it directly.

After doing all this, I gradually calmed down.

All the necessary preparations have been made.

All that's left is to do your best and leave the rest to fate.

Not long after, the smart management system of the courtyard sent a notification that the items he had redeemed had arrived.

Lin Yi pushed open the courtyard gate, and outside stood a Constant Island personal Mechanical Servants dressed in a dark purple robe.

The Mechanical Servants took out an exquisite light purple crystal box from the storage compartment and presented it with both hands.

"Your redeemed Cold Veil Prism Crystal has been delivered."

Lin Yi took the crystal box and nodded to the Mechanical Servants.

The purple- Mechanical Servants bowed slightly, then turned and drifted away along the stone path.

Lin Yi carefully put away the Cold Veil Prism Crystal, then walked alone towards the Constant Source Tower.

The Constant Source Tower is located at the deepest part of the inner island, with almost no other buildings in sight, only large swirling wisps of pale purple mist.

Occasionally, the outlines of ancient buildings appear and disappear in the depths of the mist.

This area is very close to where the island lords are in seclusion. Ordinary students are not even allowed to approach this area; only those who have applied for cultivation permission from the Constant Source Tower are permitted to come here.

After walking for a while, Lin Yi saw a tall tower slowly emerge from the mist.

The surface of the tower is devoid of any decoration, except for a dense array of breathtaking patterns. Each Dao Patterns flows autonomously at a slow but peculiar rhythm, and each flow creates a faint, visible ripple on the surface of the tower.

These ripples spread upwards from the base of the tower, coalescing into a giant Light Sphere at the top, before cascading back down the tower's surface, repeating the cycle endlessly.

Just standing at the foot of this tower, Lin Yi could clearly feel an extremely peculiar aura permeating the air.

Lin Yi didn't linger and stepped into the Constant Source Tower.

As soon as he stepped into the tower, the light membrane on the outside of the tower door closed silently, completely isolating him from all outside sounds.

What appeared before him was a small, circular, secret room.

The walls of the secret chamber were constructed entirely of dark purple crystals, and a huge dark purple core floated in the center of the dome. Every time the core flickered, it would create a visible ripple of chaotic energy throughout the entire chamber.

In the center of the secret chamber is a circular stone platform slightly raised above the ground.

The surface of the stone platform is also covered with inscriptions. The lines extend from the center of the stone platform to the four walls, connecting with the inscriptions on the walls to form a complete closed loop.

This is the core training room of the Constant Source Tower.

The energy pool deep at the bottom of the tower provides cultivators with the Chaos Power needed for breakthroughs through this inscribed circuit.

These auxiliary inscriptions on the walls will slightly enhance the cultivator's affinity with the Origin Law Origin Law the cultivator comprehends it.

Lin Yi walked straight to the center of the secret room and sat down cross-legged on the round platform.

Then he opened the crystal box and took out the Cold Veil Prism Crystal.

The prism is only the size of a thumb, semi-transparent, and slightly cool to the touch.

Lin Yi held the prism in his palm, closed his eyes, and then infused it with a wisp of Chaos Power.

The prism suddenly lit up.

An extremely gentle and clear wave spread out from the prism, traveling upwards along his arm, reaching the depths of his Soul Origin.

The nine divine-grade seals resonated gently at the same time under the stimulation of this fluctuation.

Right now.

His Spiritual Enlightenment Qi ignited silently, and with the blessing of the Cold Veil Prism Crystal, his soul's comprehension was now at an unprecedented peak of clarity.

Following the advice of those breakthrough-aiding texts, Lin Yi focused all his attention on the very center of the Chaos Source Sea Chaos Source Sea, trying to sense its rhythm and then search for the invisible yet omnipresent "Origin Law" within the vast network of Chaos Law.

The rhythm of the Chaos Source Sea is not unfamiliar.

Countless laws flow within each breath, and Chaos Power is released with every breath.

However, finding traces of the "Origin Law" within this endless network of laws is not so simple.

Time slips away silently.

The entire interior of the Constant Source Tower was deathly silent.

Only the most acute soul perception can vaguely perceive that deep within that boundless, Chaos Source Sea, some extremely ancient and profound fluctuation is being awakened little by little.

at the same time.

On the main road of Inner Island of Constant Island, students were still scattered about. Inside the mission hall, a giant light screen displayed the latest battle reports from the Black Mist Sea Frontline and recommendations for recent trial missions.

Students gathered in twos and threes below the light screen, chatting while browsing the latest battle reports.

Have you heard?

A female student in a light blue battle robe suddenly lowered her voice and said to her companions, "Lin Yi has entered the Constant Source Tower."

"What? Really?" A gray-armored student next to him stared wide-eyed.

"It's true, my captain said he saw him head towards the Constant Source Tower with his own eyes. You know, that path only leads to the Constant Source Tower," another tall, slender student chimed in. "And soon, the light membrane outside the tower lit up, clearly someone went inside."

"But how long has he been on Constant Island? And he's already aiming for the Constant Source Realm?"

"It's not surprising, is it? He was already at the tenth level of the Eternal Source Realm when he finished the Eternal Source Ring Trial, and now tens of thousands of Epoch have passed. With his talent, it wouldn't be surprising if he reached the Eternal Source Realm Perfection Realm, would it?"

"How long do you think it will take for him to get out?"

Upon hearing this question, the trainees exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

"I don't know when it will take to come out, but it certainly won't fail."

"Nonsense."

"That's true. A monster like him could fight against the Constant Source Realm at the tenth level of the Eternal Source Realm. Now that he's reached the Eternal Source Realm Completion, breaking through to the Constant Source Realm is a sure thing."

No one doubted that Lin Yi would fail.

In the eyes of these students, Lin Yi going to the Constant Source Tower was already equivalent to "I'm about to reach the Constant Source Realm."

As for when it will succeed, it's just a matter of time.

These discussions from the outside world were completely shut out by the pale purple light membrane of the Constant Source Tower.

Inside the circular secret chamber of the Constant Source Tower.

The inscriptions on the surrounding walls are flowing autonomously at an extremely slow pace.

Each flow creates a faint purple ripple in the secret chamber. These ripples detach from the walls and converge towards the stone platform in the center of the chamber, eventually forming a faint purple halo around Lin Yi.

Lin Yi's consciousness was located deep within the Chaos Source Sea.

This feeling of being "deep in the Source Sea" is hard to describe in words.

He had also immersed his consciousness into the Chaos Source Sea countless times in the Eternal Source Realm, absorbing the Chaos Power, deducing the laws, and condensing the seals.

But at that time, he was always the controller of the Chaos Source Sea, above the Chaos Source Sea, probing his mind into the Chaos Source Sea to seize what he needed.

But that's not the case now.

His consciousness had now completely dispersed; he was no longer an independent outsider, but rather had merged into the Chaos Source Sea.

Lin Yi did not deliberately seek out the Origin Law.

He simply made himself a part of the Chaos Source Sea, and then rose and fell with the fluctuations of the Chaos Source Sea.

The burning Spiritual Enlightenment Qi amplified his senses, allowing him to clearly grasp every pulse that appeared amidst the ups and downs.

Then, after this process had lasted for an unknown period of time, a very faint yet incredibly clear sensation suddenly surfaced in his consciousness.

There's something there.

This thing is clearly not a physical entity, nor is it a pattern of laws, nor is it a fluctuation of Chaos Power.

The feeling is hard to describe; it's like being in an absolutely dark and quiet room for countless years, and suddenly feeling a gaze falling on you.

I couldn't sense the source of that gaze, nor could I sense its form.

But Lin Yi knew it existed.

Lin Yi was about to look at that "gaze," a thought suddenly struck him, reminding him of something written in an ancient text, "The more you try to get it away, the further it gets from you."

So he calmed down, stopped paying attention to that gaze, and continued to maintain this state of being immersed in the world.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yi felt that gaze begin to approach him.

Strictly speaking, it can't be considered close.

Since the concept of space does not exist in the Chaos Source Sea, the word "close to" is not accurate.

A more accurate description of touching the Chaos Origin Law would be that it has been surrounding me from the very beginning, existing in the deepest part of the origin of chaos.

It's just that I didn't realize it before.

Now, with the combined blessing of the Cold Veil Prism Crystal and the Spiritual Enlightenment Qi, he has finally touched it.

Then he pushed the door open and entered.

Origin Law Comprehension Level: 0.01%.

At this moment, he officially stepped into the threshold of the Constant Source Realm.

Lin Yi silently opened his eyes and revealed a smile.

Then he carefully sensed it and found that it had only cost him 31,000 Epoch.

This was far less than he had imagined.

"It seems there's a real chance of officially breaking through to the Constant Source Realm within 100,000 Epoch! Continue!"

Once you cross this threshold, the subsequent comprehension of the Origin Law becomes much easier than taking this first step from zero to one.

Because the first imprint of the Origin Law has already been left in the Soul Origin, it is equivalent to having a lamp of one's own in the vast and boundless realm of the Chaos Origin Law.

Although the lamp was dim, it would not go out and would continue to illuminate a small area around it, giving him a reliable reference and basis for comprehending the subsequent Origin Law.

Twenty-seven thousand Epoch later, Lin Yi's comprehension of the Origin Law reached 0.53%.

0.82% after 39,000 Epoch.

54,000 Epoch later, 0.94%.

Sixty-one thousand Epoch later.

Origin Law Comprehension: 1%!

At the moment when Lin Yi's comprehension of the Origin Law officially reached 1%, a tiny yet incredibly clear mark was slowly taking shape deep within the origin of Lin Yi's Soul Origin.

This is precisely the imprint of the Origin Law, the first mark that the Chaos Origin Law has left on the Soul Origin.

The shape of this mark is extremely complex, far more profound and obscure than the nine divine-grade seals combined.

At this moment, the same lines were slowly appearing between his eyebrows.

The patterns were an extremely faint and pure dark gold, so complex that just one glance would make one dizzy, yet they exuded a solemnity and profundity that was awe-inspiring.

At the same time, Lin Yi's Chaos Source Sea also began to undergo drastic changes.

After the Origin Law Imprint was formed, nine divine-grade seals immediately surrounded it. The law patterns on the seals began to disintegrate piece by piece, and were then rewoven and reassembled by the Origin Law power flowing within the Origin Law Origin Law.

At the same time, in the dark purple energy pool at the bottom of the Constant Source Tower, the pure Chaos Power that had accumulated for countless Universal Epoch suddenly boiled over.

Countless enormous bubbles burst open on the surface of the pool, each bursting to release a massive amount of Chaos Power. This Chaos Power surged wildly upwards along the densely packed inscription circuits on the inner wall of the tower, so fast that the entire tower began to emit an extremely deep hum.

The inscription circuits lit up layer by layer.

The first floor to light up was the basement level, followed by the ground floor, then the second, third, and fourth floors.

Once each layer of inscription circuit is activated, it projects a dazzling dark purple light onto the outer wall of the tower.

The densely packed inscription circuits on the walls, dome, and ground of the entire Constant Source Tower simultaneously erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling purple light.

outside world.

Deep within the pale purple Energy Waterfall above Constant Island, an enormous vortex is silently gathering.

The vortex was initially only the size of a fist, but it expanded wildly in just a few breaths, covering the entire sky above Constant Island in the blink of an eye.

The edge of the vortex glowed with extremely dense purple lightning. With each rotation, it stirred up a visible ripple of chaotic energy above Constant Island. Even the pale purple torrents in the Chaos Energy Tide Belt outside the island were pulled off their original paths by this vortex.

The vortex was so vast that it covered the entire Constant Island, including not only the inner island but also the outer island and the surrounding areas.

The Constant Island Emblem Constant Island atop all the pillars of Heng Island lit up one after another.

First, there was the huge emblem in the Central Plaza of the inner island, then the cultivation towers on the inner island, then the cultivation towers on the outer island, and finally the inscribed pillars and defensive towers on the outer perimeter of Constant Island.

The emblems atop countless towers burst forth with dazzling, piercing beams of light that shot skyward and plunged straight into the enormous vortex!
