The purple-robed man merely glanced at Zhang Dong and instantly saw through everything, speaking to himself: "Mastering a First-Class True Intent, are you? You should be able to become a Deity within a hundred years, perhaps barely qualified to be an outer disciple. Boy, what's your name?"
"Zhang Dong." Zhang Dong replied respectfully.
Becoming a Deity within a hundred years, and in this purple-robed man's mouth, it was only barely qualified.
The purple-robed man waved his hand casually, and Zhang Dong's original robes instantly transformed into a gray long gown, with a light blue seal on the chest, presumably representing his identity.
"Go on, go on." The purple-robed man yawned: "Become a Deity within a hundred years, become a Fourth Heaven Realm Deity within three hundred thousand years, and you can stay as an outer disciple. Cherish the opportunity."
Clearly, if Zhang Dong failed to achieve these, he would still be kicked out.
But this standard was manageable. Becoming a Deity within a hundred years—he had great confidence in accomplishing that. The latter was even easier.
In the Tianyu Universe, the fastest to become a Fourth Heaven Realm Deity was the Space-Time Island Lord, taking only one hundred and eighty thousand years. Zhang Dong, in an environment like the Boundary Heart Continent, should find it no trouble.
As that yawn finished, Zhang Dong was once again moved away by some inexplicable force.
Such means far surpassed the space-time mastery of a Universe Master, but Zhang Dong couldn't tell what level of powerhouse this being was.
"Sigh, I, a Chaos Realm cultivator, can only stay here recruiting some Transcendents, Deities, and Realm Deities." The purple-robed man muttered to himself after sending Zhang Dong off.
There was no helping it. The sect master said the sect had just been established and needed momentum. True Deities and above were directly recruited.
Below True Deity, it depended on insight. Standards were set to recruit those who might become True Deities, providing resources, and when they broke through in time, they could be taken in.
In the sects of the Boundary Heart Continent, only a few scriptures were free. True core techniques had to be bought, and disciples were no exception. Very few could cultivate techniques for free.
Unless one had exceptionally stunning talent, born as a Void God at the Initial Stage or even the Unity Stage, only then were they qualified for free techniques.
Thus, many newly established sects recruited low-level beings in massive numbers.
After those beings entered and broke through to True Deity, with infinite lifespan, as long as they weren't killed midway, they had an endlessly long time to work for the sect and earn techniques.
As for the cost of those techniques, it wasn't high. Giving away Realm Deity-level secret arts and techniques for free was worthless in the Boundary Heart Continent anyway. The more True Deities cultivated, the more profit there was.
Before Zhang Dong could react, he found himself inside a massive building.
The interior of this building was thirty thousand miles high, structured like a honeycomb, entirely deep black in color. Rows of chambers were neatly arranged, presumably for cultivation use.
As soon as Zhang Dong arrived, he noticed a faint connection between the seal on his chest and one of the chambers.
"Another newcomer?"
"A Transcendent lifeform—must have comprehended a First-Class True Intent."
Inside the chambers, some experts noticed Zhang Dong, but only gave a brief glance before returning to their own cultivation.
Experts at different stages were recruited with different standards, but all had to break through quickly.
Only by breaking through to True Deity could one truly join the sect, then exchange for a copy of the secret manual and slowly work to repay it. If one could become a Void God, that was a whole different matter.
Zhang Dong entered his assigned chamber and surveyed the environment.
The chamber was only five zhang long and a little over three zhang wide, filled with a large number of secret arts and scriptures suitable for Transcendent and Deity-stage cultivation.
There were also various pointers on First-Class Divine Hearts.
"Clone Technique." Zhang Dong first found a secret art concerning clones—this was what he urgently needed.
Clones could cultivate different Divine Hearts and walk different paths, allowing faster progress.
Moreover, Zhang Dong certainly wouldn't keep his main body in the Boundary Heart Continent or the Primordial Universe for long. He had to leave fixed clones in both worlds.
Cultivating a clone wasn't difficult. The clone techniques below Void God in the Boundary Heart Continent were simple, without so many cumbersome methods. In a short while, Zhang Dong had cultivated a clone.
Next came all kinds of Realm Deity-level secret arts.
There were far too many, all sorts, dazzling to the eye. The Boundary Heart Continent didn't have just nine types of First-Class Divine Hearts. Zhang Dong glanced briefly and saw over a thousand secret arts.
The corresponding Divine Hearts were also bizarre and varied.
"As for secret arts, I'll first choose the Primordial Body corresponding to the Pole True Intent, and this Great Extinction."
Zhang Dong quickly selected his Realm Deity-level secret arts.
The Pole True Intent was rooted in the primordial, and the Divine Heart stage was absolute unity, absolute balance. Thus, the Realm Deity-level secret art Primordial Body had astonishing defensive power.
If successfully cultivated at the Transcendent stage, the toughness of the condensed Primordial Body would be unbreakable even by peak Deity-level attacks.
Only those Deities who had comprehended powerful secret techniques could inflict some damage.
Great Extinction was about the application of power, similar to the Great Chaotic Void Force that Dongbo Xueying cultivated, transforming one's original power into a kind of great extinction force.
The Chaotic Void, this celestial body represented the extreme of material collapse, studied by everyone from Realm Deities up to Chaos Realm cultivators, and even Divine Kings.
Great Extinction was also a secret art created through the Chaotic Void Divine Heart, allowing the cultivator's internal power to become great extinction force.
Cultivated to great completion, one could shatter star rivers with a casual gesture.
Having selected his Realm Deity-level secret arts, Zhang Dong's main body began cultivation and comprehension—this was pure power enhancement.
The clone, on the other hand, focused entirely on elevating his True Intent level. He picked up scroll after scroll of scriptures, reading those analyses of various Divine Hearts. Realm was the foundation.
Pursuing power was one thing, but with realm, one would truly become strong.
These Divine Heart analyses were extremely thorough, explaining every aspect in detail—how to experience the Pole, how to balance it.
Only a great power could have such an understanding of the Divine Heart, because they grasp the complete laws of heaven and earth and analyze everything from the essence.
Even though some Fourth Heaven Realm Deities have combat power no less than that of a great power, their realm is an entirely different matter.
A Realm Deity will die when their time runs out, but a True Deity has truly infinite lifespan.
"Just by joining this sect, getting these secret arts and the explanations of the Divine Heart alone is already a huge gain. At least I won't have to worry about cultivation all the way through my Realm Deity stage and even into True Deity."
Zhang Dong looked at the explanations of three Divine Hearts: the Pole Divine Heart, the Chaotic Void Divine Heart, and the Creation Divine Heart.
The Pole Divine Heart is not extreme, but rather lies in balance. The Chaotic Void Divine Heart and the Creation Divine Heart are opposites. Comprehending these two Divine Hearts will also make one's combat power even stronger.
One month after arriving at the Boundary Heart Continent.
The Pole True Intent smoothly advanced to the second realm. In addition, he also comprehended some second-grade True Intents related to Chaotic Void and Creation.
Another half year passed, and both the Primordial Body and Great Extinction, two Realm Deity-level secret arts, were also completed.
