Keeping Him in Suspense

"Lord Mengguang, did you instruct me to come and invite me to meet you?" Lu Yan'an was also clearly somewhat surprised. In his opinion, even if Lord Mengguang, as the supreme Beast God of the Ancestral God Religion, had previously valued him, a mere World Lord, it would not be so much for him to send a Divine General to invite him to meet.

"Yes, it was the Beast Lord Shen's order!" The Purple Fire Divine General nodded and added, "The Beast Lord Shen seems to have foreseen the crux of your failure to break through, and therefore wanted to meet with you specifically to give you some pointers. After all, you are the Guardian Divine Envoy of my Mengguang lineage!"

Despite his apparent excitement, Lu Yan'an harbored no belief that the Lord Mengguang could solve his problem. After all, Heart Power was an extremely rare and powerful force, known to very few. And aside from the two solutions he had proposed, he had never considered any other way to resolve the issues it caused.

But after all, it was an invitation from a powerful Beast God, and it was an indirect invitation from a divine Divine General had been kind to him, so he had to go no matter what!

"In that case, Divine General lead the way, Your Excellency!" Lu Yan'an said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Come with me!" The Purple Fire Divine General nodded slightly, and his projection vanished. Lu Yan'an then took to the air and flew towards the mansion's gate...

The Core Land the Ancestral God Religion is the "Mengguang Palace," one of the Eight Directions Beast God Palace. As the first Acquired Beast God of the Ancestral God Religion after the Natural Beast God Lord Yanguang, Lord Mengguang can definitely be considered an ancient being. The place where he resided was named the Mengguang Palace.

Hidden within the Mengguang Palace lies a world! In this world, rivers, mountains, snow, deserts... beautiful scenery abounds. For instance, right now, the Lord Mengguang is enjoying a warm sunbath in a desert area of this world. Its body is adorned with Secret Pattern, and coupled with its golden fur, it exudes a noble aura that emanates from the very depths of one's soul at first glance.

This time, unlike when the Purple Fire Divine General came to report the news, it wasn't sleeping. Instead, it seemed to be waiting for someone, its eyes occasionally glancing towards the entrance of the Mengguang Palace.

Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation appeared at the entrance of the Mengguang Palace. The next moment, two figures emerged from the fluctuation—it was General Purple Fire Divine General and Lu Yan'an!

Upon seeing the two figures, the Lord Mengguang's eyes lit up. He then enveloped them with divine power, instantly teleporting them to his side. On the other side, Lu Yan'an, who had just entered the Mengguang Palace with the Purple Fire Divine General, also felt a blur before his eyes. When he opened them again, he saw the legendary Lord Mengguang.

"So you are Lu Yan'an, the Illusionary Slayer King?" Though it was a question, it was a statement of certainty! The Lord of Dream Light looked at the human before him, and as he sensed a special energy emanating from him, his conviction grew stronger.

Upon hearing the question posed by the colossal creature before him, Lu Yan'an instinctively took a deep breath, then cupped his hands in greeting and replied, "Human Lu Yan'an greets Lord Mengguang!"

Hearing Lu Yan'an's response, the Lord Mengguang nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad! You've reached the limit of High Venerable in every aspect, even better than I was back then!"

The Lord Mengguang was lavish in his praise, then continued to inquire, "Has your level of secret arts reached the Ultimate Universe Overlord?"

Lu Yan'an now has a high level of vision and Law Comprehension. With the help of his enlightenment during his 100,000 years in the Secret Abyss, he has the right timing, location, and people to create a "Ultimate Technique the level of Universe Overlord".

He didn't know why the Lord Mengguang was asking him these questions, and nodded somewhat bewildered.

"How long did it take to create this secret technique?" asked the Lord Mengguang.

"About one epoch," Lu Yan'an replied respectfully.

Lord Mengguang was somewhat surprised. In his view, it was already outrageous that a World Lord could create Ultimate Technique the level of Universe Overlord, let alone in just one era.

"Even those who can create Ultimate Technique at the level of Universe Overlord cannot break through to the level of immortality. It seems my thinking was correct," said the Lord Mengguang. "Your Heart Power level should already be quite high, right? Fifth or sixth level?"

"What?" Lu Yan'an looked somewhat shocked. He didn't understand why this Beast God knew about Heart Power and could so confidently determine his level of Heart Power!

"Don't look at me with such a horrified expression! Do you really think you're the only one in the entire universe who knows about Heart Power?" The Lord Mengguang laughed. "You should know that my teacher is the creator of this Heart Power — the Lord Yanguang! The inheritance of Heart Power isn't unique to you. Strictly speaking, you should call me senior brother!"

At this moment, upon hearing the words of the Lord Mengguang, Lu Yan'an finally couldn't hold back any longer. He really didn't expect that the "Heart Sword Emperor" would actually take in a disciple in this world, and even more coincidentally, this disciple was the Lord Mengguang right in front of him!

"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything slowly!" The Lord Mengguang smiled slightly and told his only junior brother about his story with the Lord Yanguang.

"That's how it happened. After my teacher failed to break through and was suppressed by the Supreme Rule, he was ambushed and killed. Only then did I slowly cultivate to the realm of the Universe Master and inherit the position of Beast God of the Ancestral God Religion!"

"Regarding your inability to break through the Original Core due to the problem of Heart Power Reversal, I also experienced this situation back then! However, my cultivation level was not as strong as yours is now, and my Heart Power level was far inferior to yours! But I did suffer a lot because of this problem back then!"

The Lord Mengguang sighed, but his words rekindled Lu Yan'an's hope. Clearly, this senior brother had solved this problem to reach his current level, so his words were of great reference value.

After a brief moment of suspense, the Lord Mengguang imparted his experience in breaking through to the primordial core. "Generally speaking, given the Heart Power Reversal, you only have three paths to break through the Original Core in a short period of time: The first is to stimulate your mindset through trials between life and death to complete the transformation. This method strengthens willpower, but it is extremely dangerous, and I do not recommend it!"

"The second path is to perfect the secret technique. When you create the Strongest Secret Technique for the Universe Master, you can forcefully break through to the Dao! However, for World Lord, this is almost a dead end, so don't even think about it!"

"The third path is to abolish your Heart Power. Since the biggest obstacle to breaking through to immortality is the rebellion of Heart Power, we might as well abolish it. Without the obstacle of Heart Power, all breakthroughs will naturally follow! However, once you abolish your Heart Power, you will never be able to cultivate Heart Power again for the rest of your life. If your Heart Power level is not high, then I would recommend you take this path! But since you have already reached the level of the Heart World in the path of Heart Power, then I do not recommend you take this path."

The Lord Mengguang laid out all the solutions that Lu Yan'an could think of, analyzing their pros and cons one by one.

"Isn't there a better way?" Lu Yan'an asked helplessly. He knew what the Lord Mengguang had said, but it seemed that the only option he had now was to participate in the inter-clan war and undergo a true life-or-death trial to have any chance of breaking through. As for the path of self- Heart Power, he would never choose it.

"Of course!" The Lord Mengguang seemed to have been waiting for this question, answering immediately the moment Lu Yan'an asked. "Moreover, this is the most suitable path for you, neither dangerous nor requiring you to waste your Heart Power!"
