Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Chu Yuan had never tried, nor had he ever imagined, that learning a secret technique could take him ten years!

A full ten years!

It's only the beginning... If you want to cultivate it to a high level, wouldn't it take thousands or tens of thousands of years?

Are all secret techniques at the level of a Starry Sky Sovereign this terrifying?!

Back then, he had just reached the Golden Core stage, and in terms of combat strength, he was four major realms behind Zhang Wenyuan!

However, it only took me about half a month to learn his "Kingdom of Light"...

Now, in terms of combat strength, he is only two major realms behind the city lord;

It takes ten years to learn one of his secret techniques?

However, Chu Yuan naturally understood the difference, and was just making a casual remark in his mind... His main concern was that after spending ten years, his cultivation hadn't progressed, he hadn't created any new techniques, and he'd only learned one secret method...

It seems like I'm at a bit of a loss...

He slowly stopped trying to understand;

[Ding~ Detected that the host has learned the secret technique "Soul Dream Together";]

System conversion in progress...

"The True Cause and Effect of Dreams" has been transformed!

Today's conversions: 0!

A fleeting, hazy light appeared at my fingertip, seemingly illusory;

Sensing the profound mystery within, Chu Yuan felt a surge of joy... at least his time hadn't been wasted.

This spell is probably the strongest technique he possesses right now!

The city lord's secret technique is suitable for assassination, silently pulling people into a dreamlike state. When a person is in a dream, it is actually their soul in a dream.

To die in a dream is to have one's soul annihilated...

The dream itself is controlled by the caster, giving them the home-field advantage!

If strong enough, it can pull people into a dream even in a direct battle, or make the opponent unable to distinguish whether they are in reality or in a dream!

It can be said to be the culmination of the laws of the soul!

The Dream Cause True Fruit, which is transformed from the Soul Dream and You, not only extends the insidious and unscrupulous nature of this secret method, but also carries it forward!

The city lord's secret method involves pulling someone into a dream, but you still need to personally kill them!

When facing an opponent of equal strength, if you don't attack within the dream world but instead directly target their physical form, the opponent will sense the danger and break free from the dream...

But Chu Yuan's magic only requires providing a script, and the target will willingly walk towards self-destruction...

Everything that happens in your dreams—birth, aging, sickness, and death—will be reflected back into reality without any reduction in intensity!

Even the development of the dream consumes the other party's soul power, making it even more subtle and difficult to detect...

It's not easy to cause trouble in the Origin Realm for now, but at least in the Myriad Paths Realm, Chu Yuan felt that he was already invincible with just this spell!

Unless, of course, they are cultivators specializing in the laws of the soul, and ranked among the very top-tier individuals...

After processing the information accumulated in the spiritual realm and pondering for a moment, he changed his appearance using the Heaven-Covering Shield and headed into the city.

It's not safe to rely solely on your own opinion.

We need to find someone to test its power...

There is a special place in Xuanqi City for the Sequencers to fight, but it is not lively.

Because those in the sequence don't need to compete for rankings; their rankings are determined directly by the Spirit Realm.

Besides, there's no benefit to it... so there's not much point in fighting it;

Even if you've made a breakthrough and want to test your combat strength, others have no obligation to accompany you...

Unless it was a chance encounter;

Or there might be a prize involved...

"The Time Origin of a Fallen Powerhouse... I'll take it if you win." Chu Yuan stood above the arena, his divine sense radiating outwards, the Time Origin hovering above his head, emitting a coveted aura;

This arena has been imbued with spatial magic. It doesn't look very big from the outside, but once you step inside, you'll find it to be incredibly vast!

Furthermore, it is covered with secret runes of law, making it incredibly sturdy!

If needed, you can also spend points to have the guard change the terrain...

Most of the Sequencers were used to this arena and didn't care, their attention was all on Chu Yuan;

Someone jokingly remarked to a friend, "He's obviously learned some new secret technique and is here to test his combat strength?"

"Are you crazy?! Using such a treasure as a prize?!"

"Envious? Why don't you go up and give it a try?"

The other person rolled their eyes: "I'm only at the Myriad Paths Realm, wouldn't going up there just be causing trouble?"

Intentionally causing trouble... while it can't kill, it's perfectly acceptable for someone to make you suffer for a while, and it's also very unethical...

The Sequencers have excellent eyesight and can naturally see the preciousness of the Origin of Time!

For a time, many cultivators at the Ten Thousand Paths Realm were envious.

Some even guessed the origin of the essence of time... Then one person took out two Time Crystals, sensed them for a moment, and exclaimed in horror, "It's from that person on the Myriad Races Continent..."

"The Continent of Ten Thousand Races? What, the Continent of Ten Thousand Races?"

"I know about the Continent of Myriad Races, but what is the origin of time?"

"If you don't even know this, it proves it's never meant to be yours. Don't bother asking around..."

"This person looks completely unfamiliar; I wonder who's in disguise."

"Won't you see once they make their move? There are only so many people in Xuanqi City..."

There was a lot of discussion below, and more and more people gathered, with new people arriving as they learned the news.

But no one came up to challenge it...

None of them were fools; they naturally understood that Chu Yuan dared to bring out such a treasure, one that could drive even Origin Realm martial artists crazy, because he was confident of victory!

And that is indeed the case;

Chu Yuan had no intention of giving away the Source of Time to anyone, as it was simply inconvenient for him to take out the rest of his possessions.

Having a full set of magical treasures is inappropriate from the start;

Those Blood Pills, Spirit Nourishing Pills, Law Crystals, and Time Crystals weren't attractive enough;

The Key to the Great Dao is certainly qualified, but... this is even less suitable to bring out!

Even a Dominator couldn't forge such a level, where did you get it from? It's fine to give it to an acquaintance, but even if someone accidentally lets it slip, people will just think he's bragging or has never seen anything like it.

Taking it out in front of everyone is really troublesome...

Therefore, the only option was to use the essence of time as the prize, but Chu Yuan had no intention of letting anyone win it.

Although he intended to test the power of the Dream Cause True Fruit, he admitted he couldn't afford to take the risk...

If there truly is someone that Dream Cause and True Fruit cannot defeat... he will use the Star-Picking Sword!

The allure of the Time Source was indeed great. Before long, a sixteenth-realm cultivator stepped out from the crowd and onto the arena.

"You're very confident, daring to use such a treasure as a prize;"

I wonder, if I actually win, will you regret it to the core?

Chu Yuan looked at the man opposite him who was holding a long sword and smiled, "What a coincidence, I also want to know..."

The ring guards ignored their verbal attacks and, seeing that someone was challenging them, immediately sealed off the ring.

He said indifferently, "The battle begins!"

The moment the man with the knife finished speaking, he launched an attack, his long blade tearing through the air as it slashed at Chu Yuan, who seemed to be in a daze.

He felt a slight sense of pride;

With his primary focus on the Law of Time and secondary focus on the Law of Metal, his combat strength ranks among the top in the Tai Su Star Region!

Whether this person didn't realize what was happening or was simply arrogant... the essence of time is mine now!

Thinking this, the blade swept past Chu Yuan's figure, shredding him to pieces;

phantom?

The man suddenly turned around and saw Chu Yuan appear behind him, sword in hand, slashing at him...
