I gain ten years' worth of cultivation every day, and even geniuses will only see my doorstep!

He passed through the light curtain, and the scene before him changed abruptly.

This is a continent suspended in the void. The continent is not large, only about ten thousand miles in circumference, but it has mountains and rivers, flowers and grass, palaces and pavilions. The sun is warm and the breeze is gentle, somewhat similar to his new world.

In the center of the continent stood a stone monument. Inscribed on it were four large characters: "Alliance of Myriad Realms".

Qin Yuan landed in front of the stone tablet, but before he could examine it closely, several figures flew out of the palace. The one in the lead was an old man with white hair and an aged face, but his aura was unfathomable—a ninth-level Void Walker.

He was followed by several people, the weakest of whom was at least a Voidwalker Level 1.

The white-haired elder's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Qin Yuan. "The Supreme Chaos God Emperor? You've come from the myriad realms?"

Qin Yuan nodded.

The white-haired old man sized him up, then glanced at Lin Qing'er beside him. "Chaos God Emperor? How did you manage to cross the Sea of ​​Nothingness?"

Qin Yuan said, "We encountered something called the Devourer. It destroyed our home, and we escaped."

The white-haired old man's pupils contracted slightly. "A Devourer? You encountered a Devourer and still managed to come out alive?"

Qin Yuan nodded.

The white-haired old man was silent for a moment, then stepped aside to make way. "Come in. This isn't the place to talk."

Qin Yuan, accompanied by Lin Qing'er, stepped into the palace in the center of the continent.

The palace was not large, but it was exquisitely furnished. After everyone was seated, the white-haired elder introduced himself: "My Daoist name is 'Void Child,' the third leader of the Myriad Realms Alliance. This is the last stronghold of the Myriad Realms Alliance in the Sea of ​​Nothingness."

Qin Yuan frowned slightly. "The last stronghold?"

Void Child smiled bitterly. "The Alliance of Myriad Realms once had thirty-six strongholds scattered throughout the Sea of ​​Nothingness. But in recent years, the Devouring Legion has continued to expand, and one stronghold after another has been breached. Now, only this one remains."

He paused, looking at Qin Yuan. "You were able to escape from the Devourer, which means your strength far surpasses that of a typical Chaos God Emperor. I dare ask, would you be willing to join the Myriad Realms Alliance?"

Qin Yuan remained silent for a moment. "What are the benefits of joining the Alliance of Myriad Realms?"

Void Child said, "The Myriad Realms Alliance has complete cultivation techniques for Void Walkers, methods for collecting Void Crystals, and detailed maps of the Void Sea. By joining the alliance, all of these can be shared."

Qin Yuan looked at Lin Qing'er. Lin Qing'er nodded. "You can make the decision."

Qin Yuan looked at Xu Wuzi. "I'll join."

Xu Wuzi smiled. "Very well. From today onwards, you will be a guest elder of the Myriad Realms Alliance."

He raised his hand, and a jade slip flew towards Qin Yuan. "This contains the cultivation techniques of the Void Walker and the method for collecting Void Crystals. Take a look."

Qin Yuan took the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense. Countless pieces of information flooded into his mind.

The Void Walker is entirely different from the Supreme Chaos God Emperor. The Supreme Chaos God Emperor cultivates the Laws of Chaos, the ultimate form of "existence." The Void Walker cultivates the Laws of Void, the beginning of "nothingness."

To reach the first level of the Void Walker, one must absorb Void Crystals in the Sea of ​​Void to temper their soul. Void Crystals are energy crystals that form naturally in the Sea of ​​Void, each containing pure Void power.

Qin Yuan opened his eyes. "Void Crystals...where can I find them?"

Void Child said, "They are everywhere in the Sea of ​​Nothingness. But most of them have been occupied by the Devouring Legion. The area controlled by our Alliance of Myriad Realms is only a radius of one million miles. In this area, there are three Void Crystal veins."

He took out a map and marked the locations of three mineral veins. "You can go and mine them. But be careful, there are often void creatures near the mineral veins. Although they are not as strong as the Devourers, they are still not easy to deal with."

Qin Yuan nodded. "Thank you."

He took Lin Qing'er and left the palace, flying towards the first mine.

The mineral vein lies 30,000 miles north of the continent, in a desolate, grayish-white wasteland. Everywhere on the wasteland are fist-sized, ethereal crystals, emitting a faint grayish-white glow.

Qin Yuan landed on the ground, about to gather the materials, when suddenly the ground shook. A gigantic void creature emerged from the ground, its massive jaws snapping open to bite Qin Yuan! A Void Walker, Level One!

Qin Yuan neither retreated nor yielded, unleashing a punch! The Chaotic Great Handprint! He used all his strength in this punch!

"boom!"

The void being was blasted away by a punch, crashing to the ground with a deafening roar. But it didn't die; instead, it pounced even more ferociously!

Qin Yuan frowned slightly. The power of chaos was far less effective against void beings. He needed to learn how to use the power of nothingness.

He gritted his teeth, took out the Void Crystal he had just obtained, and swallowed it directly. The Void Crystal entered his stomach, transforming into a chilling coldness that surged into his soul. His soul trembled, it transformed, it turned into nothingness!

A system notification sounded: [Host detected refining Void Crystal, beginning to comprehend the Void Laws. Current progress: 1%.]

Qin Yuan gritted his teeth and persevered. The chill grew stronger and stronger, almost freezing his soul. But he didn't stop, because he knew this was the only way to break through.

After an unknown amount of time, the chill finally subsided. He opened his eyes, a glint of grayish-white light flashing within them. The Void Laws, the beginning.

He raised his hand, and a grayish-white light condensed in his palm. The power of nothingness. He looked at the ethereal being and struck out with his palm!

The grayish-white palm print collided with the body of the void creature! There was no explosion, no roar; the void creature was directly swallowed by the palm print and turned into nothingness!

One-hit kill!

Qin Yuan's lips curled into a smile. The power of nothingness was indeed useful.

He collected the Void Crystals left behind by the Void Beings and began mining the crystals in the veins. A month later, he had collected over a thousand Void Crystals. After refining them, his Void Law progress reached 10%.

Three months later, the progress of the Void Law was 30%. Six months later, it was 60%. One year later, the Void Law was perfected, and the Void Practitioner reached the first level, breaking through!

A system notification sounded: [Congratulations, host, on breaking through to the first level of the Void Walker realm. Daily cultivation gains have been recalculated. Void Walker base gains: 100 trillion trillion trillion trillion years/day. With the Void Law bonus and the Void Sea bonus, the final daily cultivation gains are: 1 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion years/day. Energy points: Countless.]

Qin Yuan stood up, his aura as deep and boundless as the ocean. He was a first-level Void Walker. His combat power was enough to crush an ordinary third-level Void Walker.

He returned to the Alliance of All Realms' stronghold. When Void Child saw him, his eyes were filled with shock. "A year? Only a year?"

Qin Yuan nodded.

Xu Wuzi fell silent. It had taken him a full million years to break through from the highest level of Chaos God Emperor to the first level of Void Walker. This young man had done it in just one year.

"Who... exactly are you?"

Qin Yuan said calmly, "Someone who wants to become stronger."

Xu Wuzi smiled wryly. "Alright. Then I won't ask any further. Since you've already broken through, I'll grant you another opportunity."

He raised his hand, and a jade slip flew towards Qin Yuan. "This is a complete map of the Sea of ​​Nothingness. It marks the distribution of the Devouring Legion and also marks a place—the Temple of Nothingness."

Qin Yuan's eyes lit up. "The Void Temple?"
