My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 146 The Fourth Realm, World Perfection

How long has Li Chen been cultivating?

Is he really about to break through to this level?

Qin Xiaotian pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Teacher Li Chen, I heard that you set up a legacy staircase on Gu Xuan Star and recruited maids?"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow: "Principal Qin is certainly well-informed."

"Gu Xuanxing and Earth are sometimes connected by a spiritual field, so message transmission is not difficult."

Qin Xiaotian laughed and said, "I'm just curious, what are your criteria for recruiting maids?"

"A true chosen one of heaven."

Li Chen said calmly, "Talent, temperament, and perseverance are all indispensable. Only those who can complete the entire ninety-nine steps of the inheritance ladder I set up are qualified."

"Then—have you considered the most outstanding women on Earth?"

As soon as Qin Xiaotian said this, the other teachers all looked at Li Chen.

Li Chen was somewhat surprised: "Being a maid isn't exactly something to be proud of. Would the proud daughters of Earth really agree to that?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Just then, a burly man flew over and said, "Teacher Li Chen, you underestimate your influence!"

"Yes, if I were to be your maid, could I be just an ordinary maid?"

Another female Human King flew in from outside the academy: "We all know you are the Void Dao Master. You can casually set up that level of inheritance staircase, and you possess the methods of a supreme immortal at the Human King realm. Serving as your maid is an opportunity, not a humiliation!"

She was eager to try, seemingly wanting to participate.

"good!"

Qin Xiaotian said solemnly, "Teacher Li Chen, you don't know, ever since the news of you setting up the inheritance ladder on Gu Xuan Star spread back to Earth, countless talented young women have longed for it. They don't want to become maids, but rather to receive your guidance and cultivate by your side."

"We old folks have discussed it, and we strongly hope that you will also set up a ladder of succession on Earth, giving the younger generation a chance!"

Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"Do they know what a maid means?" Li Chen asked, looking at these top Earth experts with a calm expression.

"Isn't she just a bed warmer?"

The female king who had spoken earlier smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I'm willing too."

'

'

Li Chen pretended not to hear.

However, what these people said did make him fall into deep thought.

He does need a maid.

The number of divine positions within the inner world is limited, but the world itself is growing, and there will be more vacant divine positions in the future.

Earth, as his home, truly deserves to give this genius a chance.

Moreover, setting up a ladder of succession was a piece of cake for him.

"Can."

Li Chen nodded: "I will set up a ladder of inheritance in Donghe City outside Yanhuang Academy, with the same standards as Gu Xuanxing. Those who can complete the entire process can become my disciples, obtain a divine position, and reside in my inner world to cultivate permanently."

"Very good!"

Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"There's no time to lose, I'll set it up now."

Li Chen took a step and arrived in the sky above Donghe City.

Donghe City is now one of the largest cities in China.

Because of the existence of the Yanhuang Academy, a large number of people moved here.

Donghe City now has a resident population of over 30 million.

It was afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

The citizens looked up and saw a huge crack appear in the sky above Donghe City.

A majestic white jade staircase slowly descended from the crack, with ninety-nine steps, each engraved with intricate Dao patterns, exuding immense pressure.

"What is that?"

"The Inheritance Ladder! It's the Inheritance Ladder set up by Void Dao Lord Li Chen!"

"I saw it on the news; Gu Xuanxing has this too!"

"Oh my god, it's finally Earth's turn!"

The entire city of Donghe was in an uproar.

Countless cultivators flocked from all directions, including many young geniuses and even some daughters of prominent families who came upon hearing the news.

Li Chen hovered at the top of the inheritance staircase, looking down below.

"The younger generation of the Earth."

His voice resounded throughout Donghe City: "This is the stairway of inheritance, ninety-nine levels, testing talent, character, and perseverance. Those who can complete the entire journey can become my disciples, obtain a divine position, and reside permanently within my inner world to cultivate."

"This is a one-time opportunity, and the age limit is under thirty. Now, let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, the restrictions on the first level of the inheritance staircase were lifted.

"Charge!"

Thousands of young monks surged toward the steps.

But most people were thrown away by an invisible force as soon as they stepped onto the first floor.

Only a few managed to stand firm and begin the arduous climb.

Li Chen watched for a while, then stopped paying attention.

Once the inheritance ladder is set up, it will operate automatically and does not require him to monitor it constantly.

He has more important things to do now, to break through to the fourth realm of the Human King!

"Principal Qin, I'm leaving this place in your care."

Li Chen spoke to Qin Xiaotian and the others who had arrived.

"Don't worry, we will maintain order."

Qin Xiaotian made a solemn promise.

Li Chen nodded, took a step, and arrived in outer space.

Outer space, the void more than 700,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface.

The Earth has moved away as it revolves around the sun.

Li Chen sat cross-legged, surrounded by the solar system energy cloud that had gathered earlier.

These energies were so concentrated that they were almost liquefied, and under his guidance, they slowly flowed into his inner world.

-

"Let's begin."

Li Chen closed his eyes and focused his mind on the world within his body.

At this moment, the inner world is a million kilometers in diameter, with the five elements in perfect balance, spacetime stable, yin and yang in harmony, the net of heavenly punishment covering the entire area, and the rudimentary form of reincarnation has also appeared.

We are just one step away from achieving "world perfection".

"The fourth realm of the Human King, World Perfection—requires the complete fusion of the world's laws to form the 'World Origin.'"

With a thought, Li Chen caused the Nine-Layer Jade Platform Dao Fruit to begin rotating slowly.

The first layer of Five Elements Law, the second to fourth layers of Spacetime Law, the fifth to seventh layers of Thunder Punishment Law, the eighth layer of Yin and Yang Law, and the ninth layer of Great Freedom Dao Heart Laws all began to converge towards the center of the Jade Platform!

This is not a simple addition, but a true "fusion".

The five elements interact and counteract each other, transforming into the chaotic "material origin".

Time and space intertwine and flow, transforming into the silvery-white "origin of time and space".

The net of lightning punishment contracted, transforming into the purple "source of laws".

The intermingling of Yin and Yang energies transforms into the "balanced origin" of black and white.

Finally, the Great Freedom of the Dao transformed into a point of spiritual light, merging into all origins and endowing them with "spirituality".

This process lasted for three whole days.

Three days later, the nine-tiered jade platform disappeared.

Instead, there was a fist-sized mass of "the origin of the world" that was constantly changing colors.

This primordial energy may seem small, but it contains the full power of the entire inner world!

"The origin of the world has been established; what follows is—world expansion!"

Li Chen no longer suppressed the desire to expand his inner world.

"boom-

"6

At the edge of the inner world, the world barrier is expanding wildly outwards!

1.5 million kilometers! 2 million kilometers! 3 million kilometers! 5 million kilometers!

As the pace of expansion accelerates, the laws governing the world are also being refined in tandem.

The area of ​​the Five Elements regions expanded dramatically, and the Five Elements principles began to evolve to a deeper level.

The principles of metal give rise to characteristics such as "sharpness", "strength", and "conduction".

The laws of wood give rise to characteristics such as "growth", "healing" and "parasitism".

The laws of water give rise to characteristics such as "flow", "inclusivity" and "purification".

The laws of fire give rise to characteristics such as "burning", "explosion", and "sublimation".

The laws of earth give rise to characteristics such as "bearing", "nurturing", and "stability".

The spatiotemporal structure is also changing.

The time flow ratio has increased from three hundred years inside the realm to one day outside the realm to five hundred years inside the realm to one day outside the realm.

The number of spatial folds increased from nine to eighteen, and the deepest part even began to show the prototype of "mini-dimensions".

The coverage of the Thunder Punishment Net has expanded simultaneously, and the three mechanisms of punishment, purification, and heavenly tribulation have all been upgraded.

The biggest changes occur in the cycle region.

The "underworld" palace solidified completely, the Bridge of Helplessness was completed, and the vortex of reincarnation began to slowly rotate.

Although the actual loop function is not yet available, the framework has been completed.

Seven million kilometers! Eight million kilometers! Nine million kilometers!

"One last push!"

Li Chen fully activated the world's origin.

"The diameter of the inner world has steadily exceeded ten million kilometers!"

The fourth realm of the Human King has been achieved!

According to the normal cultivation system, after breaking through to the fourth realm of the Human King, one needs to consolidate their realm for a long time before attempting to break through to the Emperor realm.

But Li Chen is different.

He is a forbidden life form, breaking the rules of the universe, and there are no bottlenecks for him.

Therefore, the moment his inner world broke through ten million kilometers, he felt the call of the next realm.

"Royal Realm —"

A glint of light flashed in Li Chen's eyes.

The fourth realm of the King level involves cultivating the inner world.

The fifth realm of the Emperor level is about cultivating the transformation of the world!

"Since there are no bottlenecks, let's go all out!"

With a thought, the very essence of the world trembled once more.

This time, it's not just a simple expansion, but a fundamental transformation!

At the center of the inner world, the origin of the world began to contract and compress inward.

In a world with a diameter of ten million kilometers, all matter, energy, and laws converge towards the center!

This process was extremely violent. If it were a normal cultivator, the world would have collapsed and they would have died by now.

However, Li Chen's inner world had an extremely strong foundation, and with the "Great Freedom" Dao Heart suppressing everything, he managed to withstand this terrifying compression.

The world is shrinking.

Nine million kilometers! Eight million kilometers! Seven million kilometers! ————

When the world's diameter was compressed to one million kilometers, a qualitative change occurred!

The original world structure of "a round heaven and a square earth" is beginning to transform into a "planetary world"!

The edges of the world began to bend and close, the earth contracted towards the center, and the sky rose upwards.

The five elements and their corresponding regions began to merge, transforming into the Earth's crust, mantle, and core.

The spacetime structure began to stabilize, transforming into the gravitational and magnetic fields of the planet.

The two energies of Yin and Yang began to differentiate, transforming into the alternation of day and night and the cycle of the four seasons on the planet.

The Thunder Punishment Net began to disappear into the void, transforming into the Heavenly Dao rules of the planet.

The cycle region sank into the Earth's core, becoming the planet's cycle core.

"This is—the planetary world!"

Li Chen was shocked.

He could sense that the planetary world was more stable, more perfect, and closer to the true structure of the universe than the flat-sky world.

Moreover, the potential of planetary worlds is even greater!

"continue!"

The fundamental workings of the world continue.

A planet compressed to its limit begins to expand in the opposite direction!
