My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 144 The First Appearance of Reincarnation, Inheritance of the Five Elements

The energy that Li Chen absorbed from the outside world first entered this place.

All external energy must pass through here before flowing into the body's internal world.

Even if a powerful being were to attempt to enter Li Chen's inner world, they would have to pass through here first.

In a sense, this is the entrance to Li Chen's world.

Ordinary creatures that enter it will be assimilated into the chaos in no time.

But for Li Chen, it was an excellent "testing ground for the laws".

Any newly understood principle can be tested on a small scale first before deciding whether to integrate it into the main body of the world.

The world's "skeleton" is already quite stable.

Li Chen's divine sense continued to penetrate deeper.

He looked at the world's "legal system"—the Thunder Punishment Network.

After the breakthrough, Skynet's coverage has expanded to the entire world.

The triple mechanisms of punishment, purification, and heavenly tribulation have all been strengthened.

The biggest changes occurred in the "Reincarnation Illusion" area.

That originally hazy phantom has now coalesced into the prototype of a magnificent palace.

The palace gates were tightly closed, and two ancient Taoist characters—"Netherworld"—naturally appeared on the lintel.

A murky river flows in front of the gate, and the remnants of souls can be vaguely seen floating in the water.

There is a bridge over the river, and a stele stands at the bridgehead. The inscription on the stele is blurred, but Li Chen can make out two characters: "奈何" (Nai He).

This seems to have evolved based on his subconscious perception.

"The rudiments of reincarnation—have they already evolved to this extent?"

Li Chen was somewhat surprised.

He did not actively construct the cycle of reincarnation; it was all a spontaneous evolution of the world.

It evolved based on his subconscious cognition, so it looks somewhat familiar.

It seems that the "original Dao Realm" characteristics of the inner world are far more powerful than I imagined.

It is not passively accepting the indoctrination of its own laws, but actively improving itself according to some higher-level "blueprint".

"Perhaps—this is the true feedback I received after breaking the rules of the universe and creating a forbidden life form?"

Li Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

His last look was toward the core of the world—the Nine-Layer Jade Platform Dao Fruit.

After the breakthrough, the height of the Jade Platform increased from nine zhang to ninety-nine zhang.

Of course, this is its core essence; to some extent, there is no concept of space or size here.

To outsiders, this place doesn't exist.

If he dies, this place will vanish.

Li Chen had already discovered that his power was beginning to transform into a concept.

Of course, this is only the beginning of the signs; the transformation has not yet truly occurred.

Perhaps it will take until I advance to the highest level of immortality to truly grasp the concept.

However, after the fourth realm of the King level, there is the fifth realm of the Emperor level, and then the ninth realm of the Immortal Path.

If nothing unexpected happens, the fourth realm of the King level should be the perfection of the world. Then, the world of a flat earth and a round sky will transform into a planetary world.

Of course, this is just his speculation, and it is not yet certain whether it is true.

If a planetary world is indeed superior to a flat, earthly world, then it must be correct.

In the quiet room of the Void Dojo on Moon Spring Star, Li Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Ten days of seclusion in the outside world after ten years of seclusion.

He not only broke through to the third realm of the Human King, but the diameter of his inner world also exceeded one million kilometers.

Furthermore, in the process of analyzing the origin of the abyss, they gained a deeper understanding of the essence of the laws.

"It's time to leave the customs area."

Li Chen stood up, and the door to the quiet room opened silently.

"Master!"

Yao Ruoxi was already waiting outside. When she saw Li Chen come out, she was pleasantly surprised and went to greet him.

Ten years have passed, and the girl's figure has become more upright, and her demeanor has become much more composed.

She has already reached the peak of the Cave Heaven Realm, and is only one step away from becoming a Human King.

If Li Chen hadn't forbidden her from breaking through inside Moon Spring Star, she would have already done so.

Li Chen looked her over and nodded slightly: "Not bad, solid foundation, harmonious flow of the five elements, you should be just one step away from transcending the Moon Spring Star."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ruoxi smiled with delight, but then a hint of worry crept into her eyes: "Master, I sensed a breakthrough opportunity, but you said I couldn't break through on Moon Spring Star—"

"I will naturally remember what I said."

Li Chen waved his hand, and a stone platform appeared in the training ground. The two sat down beside the platform: "Ruoxi, do you know why your master asked you to break through on Moon Spring Star, but not directly within Moon Spring Star?"

Yao Ruoxi pondered for a moment: "Does Master hope that I can break free from the planet's defensive array using my own strength and break through in space, so that I can gain the greatest benefit?"

"You're only half right. Your Five Elements Sacred Body is a physique that is naturally close to the laws of the Five Elements."

Li Chen lightly tapped his fingertip on the stone platform, and instantly the five elements of light flowed and condensed into a miniature planetary phantom.

"After I modified Moon Spring Star, the planetary array incorporated the true meaning of the Five Elements Laws that I had comprehended. If you can break through the array using your own strength, you will be able to resonate with the Five Elements Laws within the array at the moment of breaking, causing your Five Elements Sacred Body to undergo a fundamental leap. I call this transcendence," although it is only transcendence of a single planet.

In fact, this was also the main reason why he did not continue to reinforce the planet's defense array.

Otherwise, that Starry Sky Demon at the peak of the Emperor Realm would not have been able to shake the great formation at all.

Yao Ruoxi's eyes lit up: "I see! Then Master, when can I try it?"

"No rush."

Li Chen reached out and grabbed, and five radiant runes immediately appeared in the void.

Those were the five elemental runes he had peeled from the "Ancient Tree of Laws" within his inner world.

"This is a manifestation of the Five Elements Laws within my inner world, containing the profound principles of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint. Refining it will help you perfect your Five Elements Sacred Body, and when you advance to the Human King realm in the future, you can forge the Five Elements Dao Foundation."

Five runes floated in front of Yao Ruoxi.

Each of them emits a radiance of five colors: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and each one seems to contain the weight of a small world.

Yao Ruoxi solemnly accepted the gift and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure upon me!"

This is an absolute treasure to her.

"And this too."

With a flick of his fingertip, Li Chen sent a silver-white spatial imprint into Yao Ruoxi's brow.

This is the mark of the supernatural power of "space-time teleportation," containing nine layers of restrictions. With each layer you comprehend, you will master the corresponding teleportation distance. Reaching the ninth layer allows you to freely traverse within the same universe, and even cross galaxies.

Feeling the massive flow of information surging into her mind, Yao Ruoxi exclaimed in shock, "Master, this—this supernatural power is too precious!"

"As your personally taught disciple, I naturally cannot be stingy. In fact, this is the first time I have truly taught you something, not counting the cultivation techniques."

Li Chen smiled and said, "With this, if you want to go back to Earth for a visit, you can go back anytime. But remember, you must complete the breakthrough to the Human King Realm on Moon Spring Star—this is your only chance for the Five Elements Sacred Body to transform."

This is also the entity that has the best chance of getting infinitely close to the pseudo-forbidden state.

Otherwise, given Yao Ruoxi's theoretical limit of physique and strength in the Body Tempering Realm, such strictness would not be necessary.

Under normal circumstances, Yao Ruoxi's foundation has already reached its limit.

"Your disciple will remember this!"

Yao Ruoxi nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Li Chen gave some more instructions on cultivation points and then prepared to leave.

"Master, where are you going?" Yao Ruoxi asked.

"Let's go back to Earth."

Li Chen gazed into the depths of the starry sky: "I will break through to the fourth realm of the Human King on Earth."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.
