Please be my partner.

It begins with Wudang Fist and takes Wudang Intent as its soul, encompassing all the martial arts concepts learned after entering the Outer Heaven.

The 365 divine treasures illuminated by the Holy Body of Wudang resembled 365 stars, radiating brilliant light. They were interconnected, faintly transforming into a complete starry scroll.

Under the shimmering light of the starry scroll, Murren and all things in the world were no longer hindered or discordant, but became perfectly harmonious.

This is precisely the solidified legendary quality that the complete Wudang Holy Body can awaken... Wudang.

Solidified legendary traits are not true legendary traits and cannot help one truly achieve legend. They can only exert a small amount of power in the first step of martial arts. Only after truly achieving legend can one unleash its full power.

The Wudang trait is an enhanced and sublimated version of the Wudang conception, which can harmonize all things in heaven and earth.

In layman's terms, it can harmonize the internal microcosm, keeping the essence, energy, and spirit in a balanced state. Even when practicing different types of energy cultivation techniques, it can be more harmonious, and it can also neutralize external attacks to a certain extent.

More importantly, the Wudang trait can strengthen the connection between the human microcosm and the external macrocosm by eliminating the barrier between them, thus increasing the speed of cultivation and the strength of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth by ten or a hundred times.

Of course, in terms of the legendary realm, the speed of cultivation is more reflected in the integration and absorption of the power of the 'other self' position.

The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually became misty, transforming into tangible vortexes of clouds that spread out layer by layer, forming a thick cloud layer in the sky outside the quiet room. This cloud layer continued to expand, devouring more and more power of heaven and earth.

The commotion caused by this naturally attracted many people. Many busy disciples stopped what they were doing, their eyes filled with admiration and envy. Having grown up in the Wudang Sect, they were quite knowledgeable and naturally understood what had happened.

In another layer of space, several faintly visible figures were communicating with each other...

"I didn't expect him to be so impatient; he started trying to advance to the legendary level after only three months."

"Yes, he could have had more time to mature. So, the natives from the lower realm are just a bit short-sighted."

"You can't say that. After all, he's a rare genius. He has no shortage of talent, temperament, and methods. It's only natural that he's confident. Miracles are most likely to happen in people like him. Maybe this kid's future achievements will even surpass ours!"

"Ha! The path of legend is fraught with peril at every step. The struggle between the 'id' and the 'other' is fraught with unpredictable twists and turns. It's not an easy road at all."

"Alright, we've gotten a bit off-topic. Let's see if this little genius can get through this."

"..."

In the quiet room, Mellen sat cross-legged and opened a wooden box in front of him. Inside the box was a fist-sized, translucent crystal. As the box was opened, a special aura began to slowly emanate from it.

That translucent crystal is the Heart of the World. The Heart of the World has a very special use. As long as it is placed in any ordinary world, it will continuously dissolve, thereby releasing the power of the world. This power is essentially absorbed by heaven and earth, and this act can even be regarded as a simple sacrifice.

During this process, Mellen can sense the power of the world emanating from the Heart of the World. At the same time, because of the sacrifice, the outside world will also give him a certain return, which is equivalent to using one treasure for two purposes.

Therefore, the Heart of the World can be considered the most conventional and practical treasure that breaks through the legend.

It is said that some precious Hearts of the World possess special attributes that can help users perceive different legendary qualities, and even the rewards given by the heavens and earth after they are sacrificed will vary.

At this moment, Mellen was already immersed in analyzing the power of the world. Under the reflection of "Heaven's Heart Belongs to Me", every slight change in the world was reflected in his mind.

Unlike others who need to observe the essence through performance, the 'essence' is directly and clearly presented to Mellen.

In addition, Mellen is not a complete novice; his previous experience in various universes has laid a solid foundation for him.

The essence of life began to converge, merge, and unify, giving birth to a completely new quality from the very nature of Mellen's life, which represents... space!

In that instant, everything about Mellen was completely sublimated under the influence of spatial properties. Every tiny particle in the most essential structure of his body and soul was imbued with the power of spatial properties. The so-called limits of life were naturally released, and the power that had been accumulated before suddenly surged out like a flood breaking through a dam.

The spatial properties further eliminated the barrier between Melen and the world, which not only meant that it was easier for him to access the power of the 'other self', but also that he was qualified to travel through the world.

If before, Melen had to cross worlds through rifts, now, given some time, he can open a world gate with his own power and travel between worlds.

Of course, this is on the premise of having accurate world coordinates; otherwise, Murren would have to rely on luck to find other worlds in the gaps between them.

Spatial trait is also the first legendary trait that all legendary powerhouses will unlock.

At this point, a normal legendary expert would have already completed their breakthrough, but Mellen was not normal!

As his realm was elevated, his power ceiling was raised, and the power belonging to Mellen himself began to be unleashed.

The strange phenomena of advancement in the outside world not only did not dissipate, but expanded further, constantly stirring up the heavens.

A golden river flows across the land, where countless warriors clash; streaks of blood spread, transforming into a crimson ocean; the sky seems to have turned into shattered glass, crisscrossing and reflecting different scenes on each side…

A dreamlike realm... the sun and moon blazing across the sky... a reflection of the soul... a void world... an endless divine tree...

It can be said that every dog ​​except Xiao Li manifests a legendary trait. Xiao Li is no exception, but its power is too advanced for Melon to bear at present.

Including the initial space, nine kinds of strange phenomena of heaven and earth almost covered this world, alarming countless hidden powerhouses, and even casting countless puzzled glances from outside the world.

It lasted for seven whole days before the strange phenomena that had enveloped the world gradually dissipated, and in the quiet room, Mellen slowly opened his eyes, having completed a complete transformation.

Several days later, at the Wudang Hall.

Normally, when a sect produces a legendary figure, it would announce it widely and host a banquet for all. However, given the huge commotion caused by Mellen's advancement, and his own denial of it, this advancement banquet was held in a low-key manner. As for other people's speculations, they were left to their own devices.

The promotion banquet only circulates within the Wudang Sect. This time, there are more legendary experts present than when Mellen visited the sect. Chen Zu, who led him to the Wudang world, and the Supreme Elder who was stationed in the Great Hua world, have also temporarily returned.

Watching Mellen chatting and laughing with the legendary ancestors, Elder Wu Pengfei felt a pang of emotion. With Mellen's talent, he had expected this day to come, but he hadn't expected it to arrive so soon.

Once everything was finished, Mellen was completely integrated into the legendary circle of the Wudang School.

Within the Wudang Sect, there is a dedicated world coordinate record library, which contains numerous world coordinates explored by generations of the Wudang Sect, as well as basic information about these worlds, including the basic situation of the martial arts system, the profile of the strongest individuals, and the level of activity of the world's will.

After all, the struggle between the 'id' and the 'other self' is mostly a life-or-death struggle. Everyone is their own 'id', while all other related entities besides the 'id' are the 'other self'.

By taking away his world status, you have essentially cut off his path to the future; the two are inherently incompatible.

Therefore, when legendary powerful beings invade other worlds to seize the 'other self' status, there are actually many things to consider...

Is the power of 'other self' greater than mine?

Is there a powerful figure protecting you?

Will the world's will intervene?

However, these problems were not problems for Mellen. He only needed to travel to different worlds to acquire power, and there were no other 'other selves' competing with him.

The only problem now is that to exchange for coordinates of other worlds, you need corresponding sect contributions. Although it's not much, it's not free either, which is in line with the principle of balancing giving and taking.

After figuring out the training methods of the legendary path, Melen left the Wudang Sect, where his records of the borderlands in the initial world came in handy.

The boundary is a special area that is born after other worlds partially overlap with the original world. Because it contains a corner of other worlds, Melen can harvest a very small amount of the 'other self' power of that world within it.

Now, relying on this faint connection, Melen locates these worlds one by one, first acquiring all the 'other self' power in these worlds.

The next step is to hand over these world coordinates to the Wudang Sect in exchange for more world coordinates, thus creating a virtuous cycle.

After completing these two upgrades, it is believed that Mellen's strength will be sufficient to support his independent exploration of the world.

Of course, Mellen must act quickly. Although no one has yet investigated the connection between the Initial World and the Great Hua World, as time goes by, the special features of the Initial World will eventually be exposed, and then the world coordinates corresponding to those border areas will become worthless.

Furthermore, the fact that the initial world could frequently give rise to such a strange phenomenon as borderlands might indicate that it is a special world, much like the Great Hua World, and such worlds are often of very high value.

In the Great Hua World, seven years in the outside world can be used as forty-nine years, allowing for a continuous influx of outstanding disciples for training. Although only a few can enter each cycle for the sake of training effectiveness, it greatly increases the foundation of outstanding disciples, essentially making it a legendary resource that can be used continuously.

The World Gap is a distorted region influenced by countless worlds. It is vast and endless, bizarre and fantastical, and countless strange and bizarre pieces of information are born every moment. If there were no legendary qualities to restrain it, flesh and soul would be distorted. Without the aid of legendary qualities to observe it, the constant influx of information alone would be enough to drive people mad.

This is also the fundamental reason why Chen Zu told Mellen not to listen or watch too much when he led Mellen from the Great Hua World to the Wudang World.

At this point, these distortions naturally had no effect on Mellen.

After a moment of sensing, Melen was able to perceive the Initial World and the Great Hua World, which were most closely connected to him. In addition, there were hundreds of other faint connections. For the closer ones, Melen could sense a vague direction, while for the more distant ones, he could only confirm their existence and needed to explore them at a deeper level.

Having casually grasped a connection, Mellen began to move in that direction.

In the gaps between worlds, distance and speed are relatively vague concepts; only the stronger one is, the farther one can perceive and the faster one can travel.

After about a day, the world that Melen had locked onto became clearer and clearer. Before long, a huge barrier appeared in front of Melen. The barrier was very strong and blocked out all the distortions and grotesque things in the gap between the worlds.

It took considerable effort to enter this world, thanks to the legendary attributes.

Suddenly, Mellen felt a sense of oppression from the world, not strong, but extremely repulsive.

Based on information obtained from the Wudang Sect, this indicates that the current power ceiling of the world is not high, and there are likely no legendary powerhouses.

Of course, this is just a speculation based on experience, and the specific situation can only be known after a detailed investigation.

For other legendary powerhouses, the first step would naturally be to investigate the specific information of the current world, then they would need to find the 'other self' of this world, and finally the step of seizing the power of their position.

Mellen, on the other hand, didn't need to; he simply started 'inhaling'.

Although the world was unwilling, this was, after all, the power that belonged to Melen, and it was absorbed and integrated in just a few days.

At this point, the world's rejection of Mellen completely disappeared, because he had occupied the 'other self' position in this world, so he was equivalent to a native of this world.

Having no intention of interfering in this world, Mellen turned and left.

The power of this world is not strong, so the improvement it brought to Mellen was not as much as expected, only about one-third of the basic 'other self' level in the Great Hua World. However, because the Great Hua World has traces of his legend, in addition to the basic improvement, it can also continuously give him power, which is equivalent to a long-term 'meal ticket'.

Following these connections, he continued forward, and after experiencing five or six worlds, Mellen confirmed that there were no trackers. In that case, he could use his cheat system with peace of mind.

Chapter 657 The New World

A gap in the world.

Mellen stretched and chuckled, "Come on out, guys!"

After a brief silence, Little Red Lotus, Garuru, Golden Retriever, and Void Dog emerged from the illusion one after another. As if they had been holding back for a long time, the four dogs all rushed into Mellen's arms.

It took me a while to calm the dogs down after playing with them for a while.

Since entering the Outer Heavens, all of Mellen's original power has been suppressed by a mysterious immortal technique. However, this suppression is not a constraint, but rather a profound foundation, allowing him to thrive even more in the Outer Heavens.

If the first step in martial arts training is a slow and steady process that requires gradual accumulation, then after advancing to the legendary level, not only will the "official cheat code" be available, but the hidden potential that was suppressed by immortal arts will also be released.

Each contracted dog transformed into a unique legendary quality, causing Mellen's strength to surge instantly. Even when facing the old legends of the Wudang Sect, he could no longer sense much danger.

Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that Mellen's explosive performance seems to have misled the legends of the Wudang faction, who seem to regard Mellen as some ancient power that is reviving.

The fact that he immediately awakened the ten legendary traits (the solidification of the Wudang Holy Body, the space obtained after achieving legend, and the manifestation of eight dogs besides Xiaoli) upon achieving legend makes this speculation seem inexplicably reasonable.

When facing Mellen, he no longer treated him like a junior, but placed him on an equal footing, and also expressed his approval of Mellen's choice to keep a low profile.

Getting back to the main point, after achieving legendary status, Mellen unleashed even more power, and the dogs who could be considered one with him naturally gained the approval of the Outer Heaven, becoming equivalent to his clones in action.

Therefore, it was natural for Mellen to release the dogs to accelerate his integration into the 'other self' persona.

Furthermore, the dogs can also try to leave legendary traces in different worlds during this process, and the power that these legendary traces gather will eventually point to him.

According to information obtained by Mellen from the Undying Faction, the ways in which legends are left behind vary from world to world, but in general, most worlds are best left positive or neutral.

While committing evil deeds may leave a more lasting mark on the world—such as massacring tens of millions of people and instilling fear—it would damage the world and be met with strong rejection. In the end, one would likely gain nothing and instead be labeled as unpopular, reducing the world's affinity towards such acts.

Therefore, even though many legendary powerhouses have accumulated enough power to destroy the world, they rarely intentionally harm the world. Even when such powerhouses fight each other, it usually takes place in the gaps between worlds.

Needless to say, the powerful beings on the other side, even if their war destroys many worlds, will eventually reverse time and space to restore these worlds one by one.

After a brief assignment of tasks, Garuru, the golden retriever, and the Void Dog happily accepted their orders, barking as they rushed out to help their master collect more 'Other Self' slots.

Only Xiao Honglian kept looking back, looking pitiful, like a dog abandoned by its owner.

Mellen chuckled, reached out and grabbed Little Red Lotus, kneading it vigorously in his hand, and said with a smile, "Alright! You can come with me now."

Little Red Lotus immediately became energetic and lively, but also a little embarrassed. She stood on Mellen's shoulder and kept rubbing against him, acting cute and charming.

Mellen gently tapped the little guy's head before stepping off into the distance.

The moment Mellen entered the new world, she felt a sense of lightness in her body and mind, and immediately understood that this world must be a highly inclusive one.

After sensing it carefully for a moment, Mellen discovered that this was an extremely vast world, and the power of the 'Other Self' was at least two or three times that of the Great Hua World.

After confirming this, Mellen left without taking advantage of the situation. Unlike the previous weak worlds where even leaving a trace of legend yielded very little power, this world was worth cultivating with a little effort and leaving a legendary mark.

Of course, everything depends on the specific circumstances. If it takes more than ten years to complete unification like in the Great Hua World, then forget it. Without the time acceleration of the Great Hua World, this is a real sacrifice and too wasteful of time.

Randomly choosing a direction with a strong aura, Melen soon arrived at a place that resembled a settlement.

This is a small town converted from an abandoned fortress, with two or three thousand people, most of whom dress in a very... unconventional way.

Leather jacket and pants, covered in various odds and ends, riding a modified motorcycle, resembling a steampunk thug; retro clothing, two guns at his waist, a cowboy riding a mechanical horse; a knight clad in heavy steam armor, constantly emitting rumbling sounds and steam humming as he moves...

Coupled with the surrounding flamboyant and unique architectural style, gears, pipes, and vibrant colors, this is a typical steampunk style.

Mellen kept a low profile, walking through the town and absorbing information from this world he tentatively named steampunk.

After a long while, Mellen looked at the sticky, oily food from the street restaurant, which smelled of engine oil, and felt no desire to eat it.

Over this period of time, he learned that this was a remote town, and the people who frequented it were mostly wanted criminals, adventurers, explorers, mercenaries, and other dangerous professionals.

Not far north of the town on the edge, there is a rift canyon where a large number of mutated life forms exist, as well as some relics from the ancient era. Some people have even seen precious and rare species there.

Mutant life forms are a special life form that is prevalent in the steampunk world, and are said to be a product of the war that destroyed the old era.

As for rare species, they are probably normal life forms with special powers. These low-level guys active in the outlying towns naturally don't know the specific effects. They only know that the big shots living in the big cities value rare species and are willing to spend money to buy one!

This is a world where over 70% of the land is wasteland, with massive cities standing tall, each home to hundreds of millions of people. Between cities lie polluted areas and various mutated life forms, making it difficult for ordinary people to cross. Therefore, the vast majority of people spend their entire lives in the city where they were born.

Because of this isolation, each city is essentially an independent kingdom, and therefore their systems differ.
