Hundredfold Psionic Amplitude, Nine Heavens Atlas

The trials of the Mountain of Souls and the Mountain of Power share a certain similarity in their underlying principles.

When the secret patterns on the Mountain of Power are triggered, they produce an effect akin to spatial Imprisonment.

Because this Imprisonment originates from the space of the universe itself, the binding force is capable of permeating the very sinews, bones, and flesh of one's body.

For the trial-taker, this pressure is maintained at the same level as their own physical strength.

Only by employing superior force-exertion techniques can one break through it.

The binding pressure of the Mountain of Souls, however, is directed specifically at the spirit and consciousness.

Anyone standing upon the stairs of the Mountain of Souls finds their spiritual consciousness unable to leave their body, as if they had been stripped of their abilities as a Spirit Reader.

Only by manifesting one's spiritual consciousness amplitude can one shatter this blockade and ascend to higher steps.

Jiang Luo's original spiritual consciousness amplitude was not particularly high; it was only after he cultivated the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body that it leaped directly to around 60 times.

However, after devouring the bloodline of the Flame Star Behemoth, he gained the innate secret technique Soul Flame.

If cultivated to the seventh and final level, it can reach a terrifying 6400 times spiritual consciousness amplitude.

With the Flame Star Behemoth bloodline's enhancement to his soul, combined with the nourishment gained from contemplating the Nuwa Map.

During his journey on the spaceship to the Gulun Secret Realm, Jiang Luo easily mastered the first level of Soul Flame, reaching 100 times spiritual consciousness amplitude!

This is also the limit of spiritual consciousness amplitude for a normal Sector Lord powerhouse, and one of the three hurdles to becoming an Immortal.

If a Sector Lord powerhouse can achieve 100 times spiritual consciousness amplitude, 100 units of perfect force-exertion, and then overcome the hurdle of the Laws, they can immediately ascend to Immortality.

However, reaching 100 times spiritual consciousness amplitude seems easier than achieving perfect force-exertion.

After all, the Mountain of Souls has a thousand stairs; only by reaching a thousand times spiritual consciousness amplitude can one be considered to have reached the summit.

Even though Jiang Luo had stepped onto the 100th stair, he was still at the foot of the Mountain of Souls.

He did not trigger the mountain to shake and resonate across the entire continent as he had just done when reaching the summit of the Mountain of Power.

Yet, even so, it left the crowd watching Jiang Luo's ascent dumbfounded.

The previous tremors from the Mountain of Power had attracted many disciples of the Ancient Wheel Hall, many of whom were Domain Lords or even Sector Lords.

"My god!! He actually climbed to the 100th stair on the Mountain of Souls as well..."

"This guy just arrived at the Gulun Secret Realm and has already climbed two mountains, both reaching the 100th level. He's a total freak; I've never seen a Star-level like this."

"Wait... I don't quite get it. Didn't he just reach the summit of the Mountain of Power? To achieve perfect force-exertion, he must be a martial artist, right? What does this mean? Is he actually a Spirit Reader?!"

"To have such astonishing talent in both the Spirit Reader and martial artist paths—what a happy problem to have..."

Listening to the exclamations of the Domain Lord and Sector Lord-level senior brothers and sisters, Ji Chen and Eloise felt as if they were in a dream.

Eloise looked at the figure being carried away by Marquis Mo Yan in a beam of golden light and asked hesitantly, "Senior Brother Ji, even your spiritual consciousness amplitude hasn't reached 100 times, has it?"

Ji Chen gave a wry smile. "My spiritual consciousness amplitude is about 94 times, close to 100. That is the highest among the current Universe-level disciples of the Ancient Wheel Hall. Junior Brother Jiang has hidden his strength far too well..."

Inside a palace entirely wreathed in flames.

Marquis Mo Yan looked at Jiang Luo with a complex expression, his eyes filled with both delight and a hint of annoyance. "You have also been cultivating a spiritual consciousness amplitude secret technique?"

Jiang Luo replied, "Disciple has been cultivating the Flint God Weapon during this time."

He was not lying.

Ever since he devoured the Flame Star Behemoth bloodline, his talent for the Laws of Fire had far surpassed his talent for the Laws of Water.

He would certainly have to focus his energy on the Origin Laws of Fire and the Origin Laws of Space for some time to come.

Furthermore, he had the readily available Boundless, a controller's secret manual from the Flint Star Sector Lord.

Cultivating the Flint God Weapon was, therefore, a logical progression.

"Nonsense!" Marquis Mo Yan barked. "Do you think a controller's god weapon is easy to cultivate?

"Whether it is a martial artist or a Spirit Reader controller, whether it is a Force weapon or a controller's weapon.

"Each one requires one's full energy to cultivate deeply; how can you split your focus between two?

"Once you achieve Immortality in the future, you will have plenty of time to explore and cultivate different paths, but as a genius of the Ancient Wheel Hall, the most important thing is to focus on one path!

"Perfect force-exertion is even harder to achieve than a hundredfold spiritual consciousness amplitude. Since you have such talent, you should continue to walk firmly on the path of the martial artist."

After speaking, Marquis Mo Yan looked at Jiang Luo, who was listening obediently to the lecture, and nodded with satisfaction. "The 10,000 Hunyuan unit reward for reaching the summit of the Mountain of Power has been transferred to your account.

"In addition, there is another reward, specifically for geniuses below the Domain Lord level who reach the summit of the Mountain of Power."

With that, Marquis Mo Yan produced a book with a black cover.

On the cover, written in golden Universal Common Language, were the words 'Nine Heavens Atlas'.

"You have stepped across the threshold of the Laws of Water, so the reward for you is this Nine Heavens Atlas. This secret manual is a secret technique primarily for researching the analysis of the Origin Laws of Space."

Marquis Mo Yan smiled. "The law patterns on the stairs of the Mountain of Power are derived from this Nine Heavens Atlas. Even when you enter the Giant Axe Arena or the Virtual Universe Company in the future, you wouldn't be able to easily redeem this manual."

He had no doubt that Jiang Luo would enter the core of the Giant Axe Arena or the Virtual Universe Company in the future.

With the perfect force-exertion and hundredfold spiritual consciousness amplitude Jiang Luo had displayed, even if his comprehension of the Laws were slightly lacking, both giants would still be willing to take him in.

Marquis Mo Yan exhorted, "This secret manual is not something you can cultivate right now. Wait until you have gained some insight into the Origin Laws of Fire, then see if you can touch upon the Laws of Space by combining them with the Laws of Water."

"Only after stepping across the threshold of the Origin Laws of Space will you be qualified to cultivate this Nine Heavens Atlas."

"Before you have touched upon the Laws of Space, do not waste your time trying to comprehend it."

Jiang Luo replied respectfully, "Many thanks, My Lord. This disciple will obey your command."

After Jiang Luo left the palace, Marquis Mo Yan shook his head slightly, thinking of how incredibly difficult it was to comprehend the higher-order laws.

However, this secret manual could at least give the lad a goal, preventing his temperament from wavering and wasting precious cultivation time.

Upon returning to his own castle, Jiang Luo's expression immediately turned somber.

"Master, there are a total of 431 emails in the inbox. Quite a few are even from Immortal Gods wanting to take you as their disciple..." Wu He said excitedly.

Any movement within the Gulun Secret Realm would quickly be known to the Immortal Gods under the command of the Gulun Kingdom Lord.

This time, Jiang Luo had truly made a name for himself among the upper echelons of the Gulun Universe Kingdom in one fell swoop.

"Help me decline them all. Tell them I am going into secluded cultivation."

After giving his instructions to Wu He, Jiang Luo entered his internal world directly.

The pyramid-shaped flagship containing all the treasures of the Flint Star Sector Lord was right there within his internal world.

Why would the treasures of the Flint Star World make the Blood Demon King so relentless? Jiang Luo was filled with doubt.

The egg of a Flame Star Behemoth was precious, but not enough to make the Blood Demon King value it so highly, right?

After all, the Flame Star Behemoth did not possess the ability to create clones.

If possessing a Golden Horned Beast could be considered an upper-middle-tier opportunity in the universe, possessing a Flame Star Behemoth was at most a mid-tier opportunity within the primordial universe.

Of course, one could not rule out the possibility that the Blood Demon King wanted to change his disciple or descendant into a Flame Star Behemoth body.

After pondering for a long time and ruling out the various treasures and secret techniques one by one, Jiang Luo finally set his gaze upon the golden Eye of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast.

Could it be because of this item?
