Proto Micro-particle True Meaning

Where Zhou Zheng and the others were temporarily hiding, Zhou Zheng sat cross-legged. With the help of the "True Sight Eye," his vision had fully reached the micro-particle level. He stared at part of the Special Lifeform Corpse before him. Aside from his fingers twitching slightly now and then, he made no other movements.

Zhou Zheng had no desire to concern himself with anything else. The presence of micro-particles within the Special Lifeform Corpse before him had suddenly given him tremendous inspiration. All his past understanding of micro-particles was rapidly connecting into a single thread at this moment.

Moreover, the Special Lifeform contained countless Micro-particle Profound Mysteries, practically all-encompassing. As Zhou Zheng observed these mysteries, his understanding of micro-particles improved at an unimaginable speed.

This process continued for an unknown amount of time before Zhou Zheng's previously focused gaze suddenly shifted.

He brushed a hand over his eyes, and the two crystal-like True Sight Eyes were immediately removed. Zhou Zheng's vision returned to normal, but the world he sensed was now completely different.

"Micro-particles!"

Zhou Zheng extended a hand. At once, an invisible storm swirled in his palm. It seemed soundless and formless, yet contained endless killing intent.

"This should already count as a Proto Micro-particle True Meaning, right?" Zhou Zheng pondered, unable to quite believe it himself.

Previously, all of Zhou Zheng's understanding of micro-particles had remained limited to his Bloodline Talent and observations through the True Sight Eyes. But now, he had directly grasped a Proto True Meaning.

Yet in truth, the process had not been all that complicated.

Zhou Zheng had already mastered the third level of the Particle Profound Mystery in the Myriad Realms. Although he had not spent much effort on this mystery for some time, his talent with particles was indeed exceptional. Even with only casual contemplation, Zhou Zheng had felt that his Particle Profound Mystery was on the verge of condensing into a Proto True Meaning.

And as a subordinate mystery of the Micro-particle Profound Mystery, the Particle Profound Mystery was naturally connected to it.

During this period, Zhou Zheng had rapidly perfected the Particle Profound Mystery into the Micro-particle Profound Mystery. Then, as naturally as water flowing into a channel, he comprehended the Proto Micro-particle True Meaning.

"This is a genuine Second-grade True Meaning!"

Zhou Zheng was beside himself with joy. Although the Time Deceleration Profound Mystery was also a Second-grade True Meaning, after evolving into a Divine Heart, it would only become a Third-grade Divine Heart.

But the Micro-particle True Meaning was different. Not only was it a Second-grade True Meaning, but even after evolving into a Divine Heart, it would remain a Second-grade Divine Heart!

"It seems my talent for the Particle Profound Mystery is just as outrageous when it comes to the Micro-particle Profound Mystery!" Zhou Zheng silently nodded.

There was nothing strange about that. Even if the Gate of Time and Space had granted him extraordinary talent, it was impossible for his talents in every direction to be perfectly balanced. Being especially outstanding in a particular field was entirely normal.

"Besides, this is also thanks to the Special Lifeform Corpse." Zhou Zheng looked toward the corpse before him. Within it, nearly every secondary unit composed of nine particles contained a great number of Micro-particle Profound Mysteries.

Otherwise, no matter how talented Zhou Zheng was, he could not have comprehended the Micro-particle Profound Mystery to the point of condensing a True Meaning all at once.

"The Temporal Temple probably didn't send me here merely to complete a mission!" This thought flashed through Zhou Zheng's mind.

He knew very well that the Temporal Temple would specially nurture Cyclic Reincarnators it favored.

Although Zhou Zheng was only a Bronze Token Divine Envoy, he had progressed far too quickly during the three years since meeting Zhu Jiuling. It was not strange for the Temporal Temple to consider specially nurturing him.

And the Reincarnation Temple's method of nurturing people was naturally to send Cyclic Reincarnators on suitable missions!

For example, this mission was particularly suited to Zhou Zheng!

This Special Lifeform Corpse contained far too many Micro-particle Profound Mysteries. Zhou Zheng himself possessed a Bloodline Talent related to micro-particles, and he had previously comprehended the subordinate mystery of the Micro-particle Profound Mystery, the Particle Profound Mystery. With all these factors combined, after obtaining this corpse, Zhou Zheng had a considerable chance of comprehending the Micro-particle Profound Mystery from it.

Of course, it would have been the Myriad Realms-level Micro-particle Profound Mystery.

The Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Temple probably could never have imagined that Zhou Zheng would not only comprehend the Micro-particle Profound Mystery from it, but also leap straight to condensing it into a Proto True Meaning.

The gap between a Second-grade Profound Mystery and a Second-grade Proto True Meaning was simply enormous. Out of a hundred people who mastered a Second-grade Profound Mystery, it would be difficult for even one to condense it into a Proto True Meaning.

Zhou Zheng's achievement this time had surpassed the Temporal Temple's expectations by a hundredfold.

"How long has it been?" Zhou Zheng suddenly thought of this question. At the same time, he was slightly startled and hurried outside.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong noticed the movement on Zhou Zheng's side and instantly flew out.

"Captain, you finally came out!" A trace of relief appeared on Feng Zhuhong's face, and Mo Zitong also let out a breath.

"What's the situation now?" Zhou Zheng had no intention of explaining much. As captain, he still had certain privileges.

"It's like this..."

Mo Zitong and Feng Zhuhong explained the current situation to Zhou Zheng.

As Zhou Zheng listened, he quickly fell into thought.

According to them, only three days remained until the mission ended. The two of them had already been prepared to force their way into where Zhou Zheng was resting and drag him out.

Then came a series of developments in the outside world.

The experts from the Emperor Yu Mortal World had arrived one after another. In Zhou Zheng's estimation, once these experts reached this small Transcendent World, the natives would soon be unable to hold out and would hand over the Special Lifeform Corpse they had obtained.

After all, the Emperor Yu Mortal World had Transcendent beings who had mastered Third-grade True Meanings. No matter how one looked at it, they were much stronger than those natives.

But reality was not like that. Although the Emperor Yu Mortal World had two Transcendents with Third-grade True Meanings, only one of them had come here.

Furthermore, he had actually fallen into a disadvantage while fighting Shockwave.

One had to know that unless someone with a Fourth-grade True Meaning had already condensed an Original Divine Heart, they should be completely crushed by someone with a Third-grade True Meaning. This should have remained true even if that Transcendent with the Third-grade True Meaning had mastered Shadow Space, which was not suited for frontal combat.

Yet Shockwave had apparently refined this small Transcendent World, breaking that rule.

Of course, the Emperor Yu Mortal World had many experts. Although that lone Transcendent with a Third-grade True Meaning could not deal with the native Transcendents alone, they had strength in numbers!

The native Transcendents had already reached their limit by holding out until now.

Not long ago, Shockwave had negotiated with the Transcendents from the Emperor Yu Mortal World.

Shockwave promised that they would hand over eighty percent of the Special Lifeform Corpses and scatter them throughout this small Transcendent World. When the time came, whichever outsider found a Special Lifeform Corpse would get to keep it!

And none of the outsider Transcendents objected to Shockwave's proposal. They could stand united when facing the native Transcendents, but things were different when it came to dividing the spoils.

Of the three major local powers—the Qu Feng Temple and the Blood Blade Tavern—who did not want more Special Lifeform Corpses? Since everyone wanted more, they could only rely on their own abilities!
