Chapter 248 The Soul-Suppressing Bell and the Lecture
The Lord of Chaos thought of the time when he reversed time and replayed Ye Yang's past life experiences, in places such as Earth, the intergalactic space between the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region and the Cui Lang Star Region, and Cuiyan Star.
The "time-space irreversible zones" that appear in multiple places, and whenever such zones appear, Ye Yang obtains some new things that may be useful or useless, and escapes death!
He knew that this was probably his disciple's incredible opportunity.
So I didn't investigate further.
Even if it's impossible to reverse time and space to fully observe Ye Yang's life trajectory, judging from the part that the Chaos City Lord can observe, if Ye Yang becomes a top powerhouse among the human race in the future, he won't be as extremely selfish as the Yan Emperor back then.
Since Ye Yang's growth is beneficial to humanity as a whole, it doesn't make much difference whether this opportunity is in Ye Yang's hands or in the hands of humanity's higher-ups.
"After you are assassinated this time, the alien race will definitely send a master of the Universe Venerable level to assassinate you next time, and they will definitely be aiming to enslave your soul."
The Lord of Chaos City said, "Therefore, I bestow this 'Soul-Suppressing Bell' upon you. Place it with your true self to protect your soul."
"With your illusionary abilities and resistance to mental pressure comparable to the peak of the King-level realm, using this 'Soul-Suppressing Bell' should at least be able to resist illusions and soul attacks at the level of a Universe Venerable, and ignore the infiltration of ethereal divine power below the Venerable level."
"Of course, given the preciousness of this treasure, even the super-strongest among the Venerables, those who can be called cosmic overlords, would know about it."
They will also come and frantically plunder.
"However, once this treasure recognizes its master, you can store it directly in your sea of consciousness, keeping it hidden from the world and using it only to defend your soul. Even immortals would not know its power."
Ye Yang was taken aback. This was actually a soul defense treasure?
Although we don't know what grade of treasure it is, since it was made by the Lord of Chaos City, its grade must not be low.
Didn't you hear the phrase "Ignore all the infiltration of ethereal divine power below the Venerable level"?
This means that even when the ultimate soul master, a King-level expert, launched a soul attack on Ye Yang, he couldn't even break through his defenses!
It can't deal any damage at all!
And how many of those invincible kings who can rival the Venerables are actually Soul Masters?
Even if he were to happen to encounter someone who is skilled in soul manipulation, that wouldn't be enough to kill Ye Yang.
"If physical defense is comparable to that of an invincible king, wouldn't that mean being invincible below the Venerable level? Achieving invincibility as a king while being a World Lord?"
Ye Yang thought to himself.
His hands moved swiftly, and he respectfully accepted the treasure with both hands.
"One more thing, to recognize this treasure as your master, you must possess a will comparable to the initial level of a Marquis during the Realm Lord period, and a will reaching the high level of a King during the Immortal period. However, this restriction should not be a problem for you."
The Lord of Chaos added at the end.
Ye Yang compared it in his mind and realized that compared to the Star Tower's requirement of having the peak will of a Universe Venerable when he was a Realm Lord, this was indeed a piece of cake.
However, compared to the weapons of the God King, that would be giving the Soul-Suppressing Bell far too much credit.
"Thank you, Teacher!" he said, bowing again.
"Alright, that's enough for now. Come find me again when you leave the initial universe to gain experience." The Chaos City Lord smiled.
The figure disappeared into the chaotic air currents.
Ye Yang returned to his residence and examined the three items he had obtained: the physical copy of the second volume of the "Cosmic Chaos Manuscript", a pair of "Broken Army Claws", the weapon used by the Cosmic Venerable, and the "Soul-Suppressing Bell", a supreme treasure for soul defense.
"First, I will bind the two treasures to my body and then nurture them slowly within my inner world. After that, I will begin to study the 'Cosmic Chaos Manuscript,' combining it with the 'Cosmic Wandering,' the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument,' and the Serpent Bead to continue to comprehend the laws of spacetime fusion."
"I also want to buy the 13 secret techniques given by the teacher and study them one by one."
"At the same time, the timing of cultivating the 'Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique' and the evolution of the two giant beast clones devouring metal must be well planned."
After organizing his tasks, Ye Yang made a list of things he needed to accomplish in the Devouring World.
Meanwhile, the Immortal Alliance leader's world had already outlined four major objectives:
1. Comprehend the laws of emptiness.
2. Strengthen the physical foundation to accelerate the cultivation of the "Extreme War God Body".
3. Complete the fourth round of true meaning refinement and true meaning rebirth as soon as possible.
4. Accumulate internal credits for the Enlightenment Project and exchange them for subsequent techniques of the "Tai Xu Refining God Method" before becoming an immortal.
Ye Yang first began to recognize the "Broken Army Claw" as his master. Recognizing this weapon as its master is relatively simple; one only needs the power of a peak Realm Lord to complete the process.
After leaving his soul imprint on the Po Jun Claw, Ye Yang absorbed it into his inner world, continuously nurturing it with the power of the world, imprinting it with an even deeper aura of his own.
Subsequent use will be much easier and more convenient.
The recognition of the "Soul-Suppressing Bell" by its owner is more difficult, but this is no challenge for Ye Yang.
"The Soul-Suppressing Bell looks just like one of those small, ancient bronze bells sold at roadside stalls, the real thing is hard to tell from the fake."
Ye Yang gently shook the small copper bell, but no sound came out.
That's normal, since there are no small balls hanging inside, and there's no collision, so of course there won't be any sound.
"Begin to acknowledge the Lord!"
As the power of the world, carrying a portion of Ye Yang's soul consciousness, surged into the Soul-Suppressing Bell—thud!
A magnificent bell tolled, seemingly capable of shaking the starry sky millions of light-years away.
Ye Yang's consciousness trembled involuntarily, but he was prepared. With the support of his will and state of mind, his consciousness and soul power, which far exceeded the peak of the World Lord but had not yet reached the level of immortal transformation, quickly stabilized.
However, this is only the beginning. The sound of that bell may shake the minds of even a low-level Immortal Army Lord, leaving them stunned.
But it certainly wouldn't reach a point where even the highest level of military leadership couldn't withstand it.
Sure enough, as Ye Yang's world power continued to penetrate deeper, he vaguely saw a huge, heavy divine bell on the level of consciousness.
The surface of the bell is engraved with countless lifelike reliefs, all depicting a group of incredibly ugly and terrifying demons.
They seemed to be burned by raging fire in purgatory, suffering terribly, their bodies twisted, their expressions ferocious, and they struggled incessantly.
The agonizing screams of the demons being suppressed and tortured echoed in Ye Yang's ears.
"Hmph, get out of my way!"
Ye Yang roared, easily dispelling those sounds.
Finally, he approached the incredibly ancient bell and even felt its coolness.
Gradually, a message appeared in Ye Yang's mind:
The first layer of the Soul-Suppressing Secret Runes can withstand the ethereal divine power of beings below the Venerable level, weaken the ethereal divine power attacks of ordinary Venerables to one-thousandth, and weaken the ethereal divine power attacks of cosmic overlords to one-tenth.
The second layer of secret runes can completely withstand soul attacks from ordinary Venerables and weaken the soul attacks of cosmic overlords to one-thousandth of their original power.
"The third level can completely withstand the soul attack of a cosmic overlord, and has weakened the soul attack of a first-tier cosmic lord to one-thousandth. Successfully recognized as a master!"
"As expected—" Ye Yang immediately understood that this defensive power should be that of an ordinary soul defense treasure.
The value of a soul defense treasure is higher than that of a material defense treasure of the same grade, and it is two levels more valuable than a pure attack treasure of the same grade!
Although it's not much for the Lord of Chaos City to take out this little bit of stuff, after all, many precious treasures in the human race's treasury were contributed by the Lord of Chaos City.
However, Ye Yang could also feel the care from his teacher.
"With the Soul-Suppressing Bell, I won't need to replace my soul defense treasure until I reach the level of a Universe Lord. Even after reaching the level of a Universe Lord, I can still use it for a while."
Ye Yang was confident that once his strength reached the level of the Lord of the Universe, he would be able to quickly obtain an even better one to connect with!
The Soul-Suppressing Bell had completed its recognition of its master. Considering his own safety, Ye Yang decided to first study the secret runes of the first layer of the Soul-Suppressing Bell.
Even without activating the secret runes, the special material of this Soul-Suppressing Bell can weaken the penetration of ethereal divine power below the Venerable level to one-thousandth, but activating the first layer is still safer.
Studying the secret runes that activate treasures is simpler than learning secret techniques of the same level.
Therefore, Ye Yang cultivated the "Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique" and studied the secret patterns of the Soul-Suppressing Bell while also researching the laws of spacetime fusion.
Occasionally, his consciousness would detach from the world he devoured and return to the world of the Immortal Alliance Master to cultivate for a few years.
After all, comprehending the laws of the void and traveling to various worlds of benefits can accelerate Ye Yang's growth in all aspects.
1 II
As one's cultivation level increases, time becomes increasingly worthless.
In the blink of an eye, half of the 90-year development period of the Enlightenment Program has passed.
Fifty years have passed.
"In the last welfare world, all the assessment items for the 'Time and Space' introductory courses have finally been completed."
Ye Yang emerged from a teleportation array. As a student with a special talent in space-time, he was required to complete the assessments for the beginner and intermediate courses in space-time within the Enlightenment Project's training program.
Only by completing the intermediate course assessment can one be considered a "genius in the field of time and space" in the eyes of the Immortal Alliance's higher-ups, and should reach a certain level before becoming an immortal.
The assessments for the introductory spacetime courses are partly conducted at the Enlightenment Main Base in the human-spirit realm.
Some of these take place in welfare states.
These welfare worlds, like the Devouring World, have different laws of time and space, and each can be independently comprehended as a world law system.
In these worlds, one can independently comprehend the laws of time or space and reach a certain standard to pass the initial assessment.
Therefore, these time-space-related welfare worlds are not only excellent training grounds for students with time-space-related specialties, but also testing grounds.
There are 20 such time-space cultivation worlds. You cultivate through them one by one and pass the tests, just like passing through levels.
Passing the assessment in the 9th time-space cultivation world means passing the initial assessment.
Ye Yang—before the training phase in 90 was even over, he had already passed the primary assessment, which broke the highest record in history!
The highest record in the history of time-space categories is that of "Luo Xingjun" who passed the preliminary assessment in 78 years.
"I have enough credits. Next, I'll exchange them for some rare and precious herbs and ask Master Huang to prepare the Body Refining Elixir according to the recipe he gave me last time—..."
Ye Yang began browsing the redemption list.
At the same cultivation level, cultivating the "Extreme War God Body" is far too slow. However, if one could strengthen the body without exceeding their original body-tempering cultivation level...
It will make cultivation much faster.
Ye Yang can unify his true intentions, transferring the physical strength and genetic evolution achievements of the devoured world to his true body in the main world.
The physical strength of a World Lord-level being, with a life gene level 3600 times higher, even if only one ten-thousandth of it is transferred, is still far beyond the fourth-order Divine Treasure stage.
However, due to the different laws of the world, Ye Yang's understanding of the "Way of Life" is not deep enough, and his true meaning and the Great Way are insufficient to support this migration.
This requires the use of special substances to compensate for the defects.
The "Huang Danshi" is a professor in the Enlightenment Main Base of the Human and Spirit Realm who is specifically responsible for training students with expertise in "elixirs".
He was also a knowledgeable biologist and physician who had traveled throughout the world.
However, just as Ye Yang had exchanged the materials and was preparing to find Master Huang, he suddenly received a message on his terminal:
Three years from now, Luo Xingjun will conduct the 48299th General Education Lecture at the Shuhua Auditorium, the main base of the Enlightenment in the Human and Spirit Realm. All students are welcome to register.
