Before Breaking Through
"You are quite clever," said the enormous face formed from condensed elements. "Good, this is the 'Ancestral God Token'."
A Black Token appeared out of thin air in mid-air, and along with the massive gravity token of Tree Island descending from the sky, it landed directly in front of Lu Yan'an.
Lu Yan'an took it without ceremony. It was heavy and icy cold. The Ancestral God Token only had two words on it: "Ancestral God". The characters were made up of countless Secret Pattern. Lu Yan'an did not recognize them, but he knew at a glance that they were the words "Ancestral God".
"Imprinted on your Life Imprint, the Ancestral God Token can only be used by you."
The colossal face formed by the Strongest World Tree, condensed from elements, looked down at Lu Yan'an and said, "Through this Ancestral God Token, you can contact Ancestral God Religion Ancestral God Religion Sect. The Ancestral God Sect also issues missions through the Ancestral God Token. As long as you are within this universe, you can contact them through the Ancestral God Token. However, it is limited to text communication, and the Ancestral God Token is very special, so be careful not to lose it."
"From this day forward, you are the ' Protector Envoy of the Ancestral God Religion's peripheral organization, the Mengguang lineage. As your strength increases, your status will naturally rise as well," it announced loudly.
"Yes, thank you, Your Protector Venerable!" Lu Yan'an bowed slightly.
"Afterwards, if anyone from the Ancestral God Religion comes looking for you, just show them this Ancestral God Token, and they'll understand." The enormous face formed from elemental energy smiled gently after Lu Yan'an accepted the token. "You kid, you're quite the sought-after fellow now!"
"Yes," Lu Yan'an replied respectfully. In fact, there was no need for the Strongest World Tree to say more; Lu Yan'an had long known that many factions within the Ancestral God Religion were eyeing it. Even the City Lord Luo in the original story was like that. As long as your talent was exceptionally heaven-defying, there would be enough forces within the Ancestral God Religion to want to "befriend" you. This has been the law of the universe since ancient times.
"Then you may go!"
As soon as the World Tree finished speaking, an invisible force enveloped Lu Yan'an.
"Finally, let me give you one more piece of advice: you must break through as soon as possible! All the difficulties you are facing now are essentially due to the talent you have displayed as World Lord! Now that your Law of Space have been recognized by the Universe Origin Law, delaying any longer will only increase your risk of death. Having Clone can certainly increase your chances of survival, but there are also many ways to counter Clone in this universe."
Whoosh! Before being teleported away by this force, the World Tree's final warning rang in Lu Yan'an's ears.
As Lu Yan'an departed, the enormous face formed by condensed elements spoke, "This King Huanshi has joined my Mengguang lineage. I didn't coerce him; he came to my Tree Island to observe the battle. If that Zihuo fellow knew, I wonder how furious he'd be? Hahaha, it's rare that Lord Mengguang has given us the task of recruiting this King Huanshi; the reward for the referral is so generous..."
"Hmm?" Lu Yan'an looked around and found himself in the void, where he could see the Jiuyou Space-Time in the distance at a glance.
"I... I actually arrived outside the Jiuyou Space-Time in an instant." Lu Yan'an was secretly shocked by the methods of the Strongest World Tree. You must know that his understanding of the laws of space and time is no worse than that of an ordinary Venerable, but even so, he still couldn't understand the intricacies of the methods of the Strongest World Tree.
"However, what the Strongest World Tree said at the end was not without reason. My Law of Time is only one step away from perfection, and I have basically mastered the three directions of sealing, killing, and instantaneous movement in the Space Law. If I continue to comprehend it now, there will be no big difference between me and World Lord or an Immortal."
"Now I only need to comprehend the remaining seven Lower Origin Law. Although the World Lord can save me a lot of time, the difficulty of Lower Origin Law is not as great as that of higher-level laws. Even if I have to spend more time comprehending them after I break through to immortality, it is still much better than the current situation where I am surrounded by wolves."
With his current strength World Lord, it wouldn't be easy for him to survive in the Ancestral God Religion. The gains are meager, and the risk is extremely high. Under these circumstances, breaking through is undoubtedly the optimal solution!
"Since that's the case, then let's prepare for the breakthrough! In the original story, City Lord Luo also broke through to become an immortal while he was in the Ancestral God Religion Sect. Didn't he also comprehend all eight Lower Origin Law later on? Why risk your life here to pursue maximum efficiency in a localized way when a problem can be solved by spending more time?" Lu Yan'an thought to himself, and gradually made up his mind.
Local optima do not equate to global optima. Excessively pursuing perfection at a particular stage can actually hinder the overall progress, which is not a wise choice.
Lu Yan'an wasn't stupid, of course; he'd just been trying to save time and had forgotten everything else. Only after the guidance of the Strongest World Tree did he suddenly realize the importance of breaking through. Immediately, his Demon Beast Clone Lu Yan'an used Teleportation to slip into the spatial fluctuations. As for his destination? That was, of course, the area where his main body was!
Inside the Lu Clan residence in the Zijing Island residential area.
Lu Yan'an was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion in the backyard. Since he had already decided to break through to the Immortal Realm, he immediately began to take action.
Some life forms face extremely high difficulties in breaking through to immortality, such as the Zerg Mother Emperor and the Moyun Vine of the 360 main vines. Many of them require a level of Law Comprehension comparable to that of Feng Wang to finally break through! Some Golden Horned Beast, due to the constraints of their Original Core, also need a high level of Law Comprehension to break through... As for Lu Yan'an...
Although the transformation of the Original Core is extraordinary, it is easier to break through from the inside than from the outside. If it is attacked from the outside, Lu Yan'an's Origin Bead will actively resist by merging with the Original Core. However, if he breaks through from the inside, the Origin Bead will attack the Original Core first. Moreover, Lu Yan'an also wants to break through.
Considering only the conditions...
His Law Comprehension has firmly reached the level of Overlord! If we compare it to the number of levels on the Tongtian Bridge, it's roughly the 27th level! His level of will has even reached the Great Perfection of the Mind – the unity of Unity of Heaven and Man. Even among the vast majority of Universe Venerable in the Human Race, this level of will is extremely rare! In addition, his Mental Power Amplitude is 70 times (Supreme Demon Sound Secret Technique), his Body Amplitude is nearly 40 times (Time Divine Envoy Inheritance Secret Technique), and many other combinations.
A will that defies the heavens! Wushuang Heart Power! Mental Power Amplitude! Created his own Overlord- level ultimate technique!
"My accumulated knowledge is comparable to that of High Venerable. Stepping into immortality will be a piece of cake." Lu Yan'an was also full of anticipation. Theoretically, his self-created unique skill was only slightly inferior to the Strongest Secret Technique of the Universe Master. In other aspects, it surpassed that of a high-level Feng Wang. If he really wanted to break through to immortality, it would be a very easy thing.
"It would be an injustice if it weren't broken!"
"Now let us devote ourselves to studying the Origin Law of Light, and comprehend the entire Origin Law of Light."
To break through to immortality, one must fully comprehend a Lower Origin Law in order to break through the Original Core and achieve Immortal Divine Body. For him, the Origin Law of Light is naturally his first choice for breakthrough!
Long ago, Lu Yan'an stopped studying the Origin Law of Light. He dared not study them, because he was only one step away from fully comprehending them. Once he comprehended the Origin Law of Light, breaking through to immortality would be an irreversible process. He hadn't even found all his Clone yet, so how could Lu Yan'an possibly attempt a breakthrough?
"The Origin Law of Light." Lu Yan'an sat cross-legged in the pavilion in the back of the Lu Clan family mansion. This was his private area, the best secluded place protected by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. No one dared to do anything out of line under the protection of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, so Lu Yan'an was very at ease choosing to break through here.
Half of his consciousness was focused on comprehending the Origin Law of Light, while the other half continued to create, constantly perfecting the third form of his first set of secret techniques, "Origin." Although he already possessed the Ultimate secret technique "Primal," which was at the level of Overlord, "Origin" was the secret technique to which he had devoted the most effort. Just like ordinary people, the higher the sunk cost invested in something, the more attentive they would be to it.
Now that Lu Yan'an's Law Comprehension is almost at the level of "Universe Master," when he goes back to study the Origin Law of Light, it's like a graduate student taking a kindergarten class. Everything is at the level of "1+1=2" in his eyes, and he can easily get full marks without much understanding!
