Chapter 147 Harvest
Within the realm of the mind.
When Chen Yuan regained consciousness, his will had successfully reached the peak of the King-level!
Looking at the stunned Marquis Shang in the distance, Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, Senior Marquis Shang, you have lost this time."
The next second, Chen Yuan's will, carrying immense power, launched a full-scale counterattack!
The mental world that was originally occupied by Shang Hou is being reclaimed at an alarming speed.
"That's impossible!"
Marquis Shang stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "How could your will have changed so quickly?"
"Nothing is impossible." Chen Yuan shook his head slightly; he had no time to continue chatting with the other party.
Because, when he communicated with the origin of the universe, the reality had already reached the seventh day.
Soon, the guardians will discover the anomaly here.
Although Chen Yuan had previously regarded the other party as a lifeline, now that he was fully capable of killing Shang Hou, there was no need to create unnecessary trouble.
Thus, with the full eruption of Chen Yuan's willpower, carrying a trace of the great power of the origin of the universe, even though both sides' wills were at the peak of the King level, Shang Hou was forced to retreat step by step.
In less than ten minutes, Chen Yuan regained more than 99% of the mental world that had been occupied by the other party, leaving only a small foothold for Shang Hou.
At this rate, in a minute at most, the remaining strength of the opponent will be completely eliminated.
"I actually lost."
Marquis Shang stood there for a long time, then finally shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "I never thought that all my scheming would end up benefiting you."
"Because your defeat was inevitable," Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Impossible!" Marquis Shang shook his head decisively. He was still somewhat unconvinced about this point: "If it weren't for your inexplicable breakthrough at the end, I would have successfully possessed your body long ago."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled and reminded him, "Senior Marquis Shang, haven't you noticed anything special about my willpower?"
"Your willpower?" Shang Hou was slightly taken aback. He hadn't paid attention, but upon hearing this, he carefully sensed it and immediately exclaimed in shock, "The power of the universe's origin! How is this possible!"
"Yes, this is the power I obtained from the origin of the universe."
Chen Yuan sighed, "If it weren't for your possession of my body, I don't know how long it would have taken me to find this path."
"How did you do that?" Shang Hou asked, his eyes filled with confusion. "You're just a mere Hengxing-level cultivator, and your understanding of the laws isn't high either."
How can we connect to the source?
"You should know the reason very well, Senior Shanghou." Chen Yuan smiled faintly, then continued, "Didn't you say that the path you've chosen isn't recognized by the primordial universe?"
These words struck Shang Hou like a thunderbolt, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face: "So, the primordial will of the universe, in order to stop me..."
"So it directly strengthened your will?!"
"You could say that," Chen Yuan nodded. "At least, my sensing of the origin of the universe went exceptionally smoothly this time."
Subsequent breakthroughs came naturally, as if divine intervention had been at play.
"Perhaps this is the blessing of the primordial universe."
"I see--."
After listening to Chen Yuan's explanation, Shang Hou shook his head and said bitterly, "It seems that all my plans were within the calculations of the Primordial Universe, and it didn't even give me a chance to start over."
At this moment, Shanghou's will was almost completely gone, leaving only a last shred of despair.
Knowing he was about to vanish, Marquis Shang felt a sense of relief. He looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "Before we part, can you answer one last question?"
Without waiting for a response, he asked himself, "Why do you think I failed?"
"What secrets does this path hold that even the primordial universe cannot tolerate?"
He muttered to himself, not really expecting an answer—because even he didn't understand the truth, how could a junior at the Hengxing level possibly know it?
But before he disappeared, he heard Chen Yuan's reply.
"That is, of course, the fusion of the eight laws—or rather, the ten laws—which involves a realm beyond true gods."
Chen Yuan calmly said, "Even a True God isn't qualified to comprehend the fusion of the Ten Great Laws. You, a mere Realm Lord, dare to attempt to walk this path."
"If the primordial will of the universe isn't targeting you, then who is it targeting?"
"So that's how it is—" Marquis Shang looked shocked, then sighed, "I understand."
"It seems I really did take the wrong path."
The figure of the Marquis of Shang gradually faded away, leaving only a sigh echoing in his mind: "If only I could do it all over again—"
"It's a pity, but you probably won't have a second chance." Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, then went to the spot where Shang Hou had disappeared.
Although the other party's will disappeared, a lot of things remained in their soul.
"Next."
Chen Yuan reached out his hand, accepting the scattered memories scattered throughout his inner world.
Time passed quietly, and in reality, Bai Lijia's voice rang out on time.
"Time's up, come out!"
In the secret room, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
He took one last look at the purple-hued carvings on the stone wall, and after confirming that the mysterious patterns were still intact, he smiled slightly and turned to leave.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he probably won't come to this place again.
Upon arriving outside the magnificent stone palace, a strange look flashed across Bai Lijia's face: "Why do you seem a little different from before?"
"Besides, you finished early today; you only called out once before coming out."
"Thank you for taking care of me during this time, Guardian." Chen Yuan bowed respectfully with a sincere smile on his face.
Although Bai Lijia did not make a move throughout, her very presence posed a significant threat to Shang Hou.
If it weren't for the seven-day limit, Shanghou could have slowly exhausted his soul power and then directly possessed his body, instead of risking choosing the uncertain method of willpower resistance.
After bowing, he replied with a smile, "This trip has been quite fruitful, meeting my expectations, so I came out."
"Alright then." Bai Lijia waved her hand. "I hope you've made enough progress. The branch assessment is coming up soon, so do your best then."
"Definitely." Chen Yuan nodded, then left Ziyao Peak.
Three days later, in the secret room of Manor No. 012.
Chen Yuan let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes: "I've finally finished sorting out Shang Hou's memories."
For three whole days, he was processing the fragments of Shanghou's memories.
It must be said that the legacy left behind by this genius realm master who was able to kill an immortal being was indeed substantial.
Although some memories are missing due to the complete dissipation of will, there are still many valuable gains in the existing content.
It includes a large number of martial arts secret techniques related to the Eight Laws, as well as rare and top-tier soul secret techniques and body amplitude secret techniques.
Unfortunately, he had already mastered the body amplification technique "Nine Luminaries Body," while the opponent's proud soul defense technique "Seven Sorrows Armor" was only comparable to his "Soul-Shaking Cauldron."
Considering that one only needs to specialize in one soul defense technique, Chen Yuan decided to use the "Seven Sorrows Armor" as a reference for system optimization to improve his "Soul-Shaking Cauldron".
After all, the Seven Sorrows Armor conflicted with Chen Yuan's Heavenly Light Battle Armor, while the Soul-Shaking Cauldron, being manifested outside the soul core, was perfectly compatible.
Similarly, the Soul Attack Secret Technique of Marquis Shang, "Heaven-Breaking Halberd," also conflicts with the Azure Sky Sword and cannot be cultivated.
What Chen Yuan regretted most was that the illusion-type soul techniques he had longed for were nowhere to be found in Shang Hou's memories.
From the remaining memories, it was learned that it was because the era in which Shanghou lived was too far back, and the "Illusion Warrior" school had not yet appeared, so naturally there were no related secret techniques.
For Chen Yuan, the secret techniques he obtained this time were mediocre. Most of them were unusable, but they could still serve as data reserves for system optimization, so it wasn't a complete loss.
Therefore, Chen Yuan only briefly learned about it and then put it aside for the time being. At this moment, all his attention was focused on another more important gain.
That is all of Shanghou's insights into the Ten Laws!
