Taking on the third trial-was that all?

The gatekeeper was speechless.

In the previous trial, it clearly saw that this person didn't even have a trace of Dao Resonance; he only managed to get through by relying on the ferocity of the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame and the Starving Soul Source Slaying.

So this time, it was prepared to teach the other party a good lesson.

But it never expected that this person would bring it such a "surprise".

"You... you..."

The gatekeeper's deep purple eyes were fixed on Lin Yi's Origin Law True Body, and after a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Five strands?"

Lin Yi grinned and said frankly, "Not bad."

The gatekeeper fell silent.

Because it possesses only four strands of Dao Resonance.

Lin Yi ignored the guards' shock.

He knew perfectly well that the guardian of this second level, according to the records he found in the Constant Guard's database, had four strands of Dao Resonance, while he had already comprehended five strands. In terms of Dao Resonance alone, he had already firmly surpassed his opponent.

Not to mention he also has the Soul Source Slaying card.

Therefore, this battle was completely without suspense.

After a moment of silence, the gatekeeper suddenly spoke, "I admit, I misjudged him."

It gave Lin Yi a deep look, then continued, "You won."

The moment he finished speaking, his figure transformed from his toes into countless purple specks of light, like Star Dust scattered by the wind, and quickly disappeared.

Lin Yi was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening.

They actually admitted defeat.

However, he wasn't too surprised.

This is not a rare occurrence according to the records at the Constant Source Summit.

As energy entities, the gatekeepers are assigned the responsibility of guarding each level, but they also have a certain degree of autonomy.

When it determines that the gap in strength between itself and the trial participants has reached the point of being "crushed," it will choose to voluntarily admit defeat.

After all, creating an energy body at the Constant Source Realm level requires a considerable amount of energy. Although the energy reserves at the Constant Source Summit are vast, they will not be wasted unnecessarily.

"At least you know what's good for you."

Lin Yi silently complained in his heart, but remained expressionless on the surface.

Actually, he felt a little regretful.

He had originally intended to use this gatekeeper to thoroughly test the power of his Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame, enhanced by five strands of Dao Resonance.

As a result, the other side simply stopped playing.

It's like you've finally mastered a unique skill and are ready to show it off, but your opponent sees you make a move, turns around, and leaves without even saying a harsh word.

Frustrated.

Frustrating as it may be, it's a victory gained for free, so why not take it?

After the guardian completely disappeared, that grand and indifferent voice rang out precisely in the pure white space.

"Trial participant Lin Yi has passed the second level of the Constant Source Summit."

"You have earned 50,000 points for passing the Points and 50,000 points for the trial Points, for a total of 100,000 Points."

Current Points balance: 102,000.

One hundred thousand and two thousand.

Lin Yi stood there, his heart suddenly burning with excitement.

The Divine Evolution Heavenly Dew requires 150,000.

"Just one step away."

Lin Yi murmured to himself, clenched his fist, and his mind raced as he considered the matters concerning the third level.

As far as he knew, the guardian of the third gate should have comprehended twenty strands of Dao Resonance.

Twenty strands.

This number made Lin Yi frown slightly.

He quickly did some mental calculations.

In this second layer, he comprehended a total of five strands of Dao Resonance.

The first strand was broken through during the first 50,000 Epoch; during the remaining 150,000 Epoch, he persevered and comprehended four more strands.

In other words, after comprehending the first strand, his efficiency in grasping the Dao Resonance was approximately four strands every 150,000 Epoch.

The time required to comprehend the third stage is 300,000 Epoch.

"At this rate, I could theoretically comprehend eight more strands."

Lin Yi calculated, "Adding the current five strands, that makes thirteen. Twenty strands is still a very significant difference, but..."

He paused, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"With the Silent Nether Soul-Rending Flame and the Soul-Rending Source Slaying, I'm not without a chance!"

After considering this, his initial hesitation was suppressed by a fierce determination.

Logically speaking, the time for comprehending the Dao Origin Atlas is extremely precious. He should have gone out first to further improve his Origin Law realm. During this time, he could have used the Purple Mist Crystal to nurture his soul's comprehension.

In that case, once one's realm and comprehension have improved, when one attempts to comprehend the Dao Origin Atlas, the Dao Resonance one can grasp will undoubtedly be greater, and the certainty of success will be much higher.

Although once his Origin Law realm improves, the Points he can get at the Constant Source Summit will decrease accordingly.

After all, compared to the Points loss of points, Dao Resonance is the truly more precious thing.

But the thought of "a perfect soul comprehension at the Perfection of the Constant Source Realm level" made Lin Yi's breathing quicken involuntarily.

His current Early Constant Source Realm soul comprehension already allows him to comprehend the Origin Law and grasp the Dao Resonance much faster than before. If he could truly raise his soul comprehension to the Perfection of the Constant Source Realm...

"Let's give it our all!"

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination.

The situation in the Black Mist Sea is getting worse every day, and who knows what will happen next? So it's best to improve your strength as soon as possible.

Having figured all this out, Lin Yi no longer hesitated.

He took a deep breath, strode forward, and resolutely stepped into the silver-white light gate that had silently appeared sometime earlier.

Just as Lin Yi stepped into the third floor...

Beyond the Constant Source Summit, news from the depths of the Black Mist Sea also traveled back to the Seventh Constant Domain with a silent yet extremely fast speed.

The Silent Constant Great City, the Constant Guard Headquarters.

Deep within the dark golden spire, Dao Lord Lan Chen sat behind a jade table, handling the daily affairs of the Constant Guard one by one.

Suddenly, a phantom figure silently appeared three steps away from the jade table.

"Yan?" Dao Lord Lan Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. "What is it now?"

"We just received a message from the Constant Source Summit," Yan said calmly. "Lin Yi has passed the second level of the Constant Source Summit and is now ranked first on the second level."

Dao Lord Lan Chen was visibly taken aback. "You've cleared the second level too?"

"Yes," Yan replied.

Dao Lord Lan Chen fell silent.

He remembered the fruit he had specifically retrieved earlier.

But now...

"What if we go through all that trouble to snatch it from that guy's den, only to find out he doesn't even need it?"

77

Dao Lord Lan Chen chuckled inwardly and gently shook his head.

"No, no, the Qinglan Frostsky Fruit is effective against those below the Hundred Dao Resonance, it shouldn't be that bad."

He hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "Okay, I understand. Keep an eye on him and see how many levels he can reach in the end."

He paused, then added, "By the way, also send a copy of this message to the other Dao Lord."

"Yes." Yan's illusory figure dissipated like smoke.

And so the news spread.

Initially, it was limited to a few Dao Lord: Wei Shuo, Xi Mo, and Han Yu, these four top beings of the Seventh Constant Domain, received the same message almost one after another.

It is unknown which Dao Lord, after receiving the news, casually mentioned it to his subordinate, Constant Lord.

Thus, the news spread rapidly, quickly reaching the entire circle of the Seventh Constant Domain's Constant Lord.

"Lord Lin Yiheng has already passed the second level of the Peak of Eternal Origin!"

The Silent Cosmos Domain, the Wen Family Floating Island.

The patriarch of the Wen Family was sitting with several old friends, enjoying tea, when he heard the news, his hand holding the teacup paused for a moment in mid-air.

"The second floor?"

He put down his teacup, slowly exhaled, his eyes filled with emotion.

"Impressive. When he first came to visit our Wen Family, I thought he was quite extraordinary. I didn't expect I had underestimated him."

In the Silent Peach Cosmos Domain, inside the Ice Crystal Hall.

A strange light flashed in Yi Wei's icy blue eyes.

"The Constant Source Summit..." she murmured, "That's a sacred place that many veteran Constant Lord might never be able to set foot in their entire lives. And he only just entered Constant Source Realm, yet he obtained the entry permit. That's not all; the key point is that he even broke through two trials!"

Upon hearing this, a Fusion Flame Race Constant Lord standing beside her shook his head with a wry smile, "No comparison, absolutely no comparison."

On the Black Mist Sea Frontline, General Ka Lie, General Ai Nisi, and other military Constant Lord on duty also received the news one after another.

"Damn it, this kid..."

On Ka Lie Kareem's resolute face, covered in crimson scales, a look that was hard to decipher was neither a smile nor a sigh. "How long has it been? I've fought tooth and nail to get to the second level. And he, on the other hand, is already at the same level as me."

"It's alright, things might change soon." General Ai Nisi's golden eyes flickered slightly as he smiled. "Because, it's said, he hasn't come out yet."

General Ka Lie was speechless for a moment. "If you can talk, then say more..."

The other Constant Lord around him also laughed.

But after laughing for a while, they fell silent.

There's no other reason than the vast difference in skill level.

Those who passed the second level were all veteran Constant Lord who were recognized as "Dao Lord Seed".

Every one of those people was a highly capable and experienced individual.

Lin Yi, though also recognized Dao Lord Seed, was someone no one expected to attempt to conquer the Constant Source Summit so early.

More importantly, he has already passed two levels!

This talent is just fucking outrageous.

For a time, all the Constant Lord of the Seventh Constant Domain were abuzz with discussion.

"He's already passed two levels, and he's only at the First Rank of the Constant Source Realm... If he manages to reach the third level, what will become of him?"

"The third level? That's where the gatekeepers with twenty strands of Dao Resonance reside! Even Inspector Wen Xiao stopped at the third level back then, didn't he?"

"Only those at the Late Constant Source Realm dared to attempt the Wen Xiao Inspection Commissioner challenge; Lin Yi is only at the first level..."

"So this is just too outrageous. If someone can get past the third level, they'll probably be the most talented among Constant Lord."

Similar dialogues arose one after another among various cosmic domains and forces.

Those who were on good Constant Lord with Lin Yi, after the initial shock, felt mostly relieved.

I'm glad I made friends with them early on.

The patriarch of the Wen Family picked up his teacup again, smiled, and said to his old friends, "That's why I say, when it comes to investing, you should do it early."

Several old friends nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with envy.

At this moment, Lin Yi, who was the subject of much discussion throughout the Seventh Constant Domain, was completely unaware of the commotion outside.

He was standing on the third level of Constant Source Summit.

That grand yet indifferent voice rang out precisely on time.

"Trial participant Lin Yi has entered the third level of the Constant Source Summit."

"You will be granted 300,000 Epoch of time to study the Dao Origin Atlas."

"After the period of comprehension is completed, the guardian of the third level will appear."

Subsequently, the Dao Origin Atlas also reappeared.

Three hundred thousand Epoch.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and slowly sat down cross-legged.

He closed his eyes and immersed his entire mind in the profound and vast Dao Origin Atlas.

Within the Purple Mist Space, Spiritual Enlightenment Qi suddenly ignited.

In the first ten thousandth Epoch, he once again caught the tail end of a rhythm.

In the 30,000th Epoch, the second strand of new Dao Resonance condensed.

The 70,000th Epoch, the Third Thread.

Time, in silent contemplation, flows by day by day.

Three hundred thousand Epoch may seem like a long time, but in reality, they pass by in the blink of an eye.

When that grand and indifferent voice rang out again, Lin Yi suddenly realized that three hundred thousand Epoch had already passed.

"Your time limit for comprehension has expired. Prepare to face the guardian of the third level."

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes.

He sensed it silently for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.

Three hundred thousand Epoch, he finally comprehended nine strands of Dao Resonance.

Including the five strands he comprehended in the second layer, he now possesses a total of fourteen strands of Dao Resonance deep within his soul.

"Not bad, there's one more strand than expected."

Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction.

It should be noted that he originally calculated that based on an efficiency of four strands per 150,000 Epoch, there would only be eight strands per 300,000 Epoch.

Unexpectedly, as he comprehended more and more of the Dao Resonance, his speed of comprehension not only did not slow down, but actually increased slightly.

Nine strands.

This exceeded his expectations.

However, despite his satisfaction, Lin Yi showed no sign of relaxation.

Because the guardian of the third level is Twenty Threads.

"Fourteen against twenty..."

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, quickly weighing the options in his mind, "The gap has narrowed a bit, but it's still quite large. I have to go all out."

Just then, in the very center of that space, a very faint purple light suddenly lit up.

The purple light expanded rapidly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a surging purple mist.

A figure slowly emerged from the depths of the luminous mist.

The third layer of gatekeepers.

It stopped, its gaze falling on Lin Yi, a smile of interest appearing on its lips.

"We meet again."

As the gatekeeper spoke, Origin Law True Body suddenly rose from the ground, and the purple-white light instantly illuminated the entire dark space.

The strange aura of Dao Resonance surged and flowed around its True Body, its power several times stronger than that of the second level.

But it didn't rush to take action.

The gatekeeper hovered in mid-air, his deep purple eyes looking down at Lin Yi, and slowly said, "With your talent, you must have gained a lot in these 300,000 Epoch. How much have you comprehended? Twenty-three? Twenty-five?"

"Come on. Let me see, so we don't waste our energy."

Its implication was that it had implicitly acknowledged the likelihood of conceding defeat.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Cough...

He coughed lightly, and without saying a word, with a thought, Origin Law True Body also appeared with a bang.

Fourteen strands of Dao Resonance were fully amplified.

"Huh?"

The gatekeeper was stunned after only a slight sense of it.

Fourteen strands?

"That's it?" The gatekeeper's expression gradually turned strange, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Nothing more?"

Lin Yi immediately lost face.

He directly activated the inverted pyramid-shaped secret framework deep within the Soul Origin.

Soul Source Slaying!

A dense, blood-red mist erupted from his Origin Law True Body, instantly enveloping the entire True Body.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Lin Yi roared, "Let's fight!"
