104: 1.87 million combat power

"Revered Master," Lin Yuan asked at the appropriate time, "What is the relationship between the mastery of the Origin Law and the Rank of the Dharma Idol?"

Li Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile, his eyes flashing with unbelievable light. "As your Revered Master, I also didn't expect you to obtain such a massive Opportunity. In just fifty-six days, you've not only comprehended an Origin Law but directly reached fifty percent mastery!" He organized his thoughts and explained, "There are ten key nodes in the comprehension of an Origin Law; every ten percent mastery reached will form a complete dao pattern. However, if the Dharma Idol Rank is too low, it cannot withstand the power of the dao patterns..."

Speaking to this point, Li Xuan made a gesture of collapse. "The Dharma Idol will suffer a backlash from the Origin Law. At best, one's cultivation will be completely crippled; at worst, one will die and their Dao will vanish! This was indeed an oversight on my part; I should have told you earlier." He sized up Lin Yuan's Dharma Idol and nodded with satisfaction. "However, your Dharma Idol's strength is a full one million Yu. Ten complete Devouring Origin Law dao patterns only require a tolerance of three hundred thousand Yu, so there's no need to worry for now."

Lin Yuan calculated silently in his heart: he had also comprehended three other Origin Laws—Chaos, Life, and Death—but his mastery of them had not yet reached ten percent, so complete dao patterns had not yet formed. According to the bonus ratio of the Chaos Origin Law, ten Chaos dao patterns would require a tolerance of one million Yu. Adding Life and Death to that... This terrifying number made Lin Yuan frown involuntarily. "Revered Master, as far as I know, below the Immortal Dharma Idol is the Divine-Grade Dharma Idol, and below that is the Spirit Rank Dharma Idol. Even at the Peak of the Myriad Laws Realm, a Spirit Rank Dharma Idol only has a strength of one hundred thousand. Wouldn't that mean they don't even have the qualification to comprehend a high-tier Origin Law?"

Li Xuan chuckled upon hearing this and waved his sleeve, causing several lines of golden text to appear in the air. "If the Dharma Idol Rank is insufficient, one uses a special Physique to compensate. Among the Prodigies of the Taichu Divine Continent, which one doesn't possess a Divine Body? As long as the total tolerance of the Divine Body and the Dharma Idol meets the standard, it's fine." He paused and added, "Furthermore, after the Perfection of the Myriad Laws Realm comes the Dharma Domain Realm. Although the focus of cultivation is not on the Dharma Idol, the improvement in Realm will also passively enhance the Dharma Idol's strength."

The Grand Hall Master looked at Lin Yuan with burning eyes, his tone carrying a rare sense of admiration. "You truly are the most monstrous Prodigy I have ever seen. Two months ago, I felt you couldn't compare to those Prodigies of the Taichu Divine Continent, but now..." He shook his head and did not continue.

"Fifty-six days, from zero to fifty." Li Xuan's voice still carried a tremor. "You must know that in the history of the Taichu Divine Continent, those who can comprehend a high-tier Origin to 10% before the age of twenty can basically all achieve Sainthood in the end."

Suddenly, Li Xuan changed the subject, his gaze becoming as sharp as a blade. "Why did the Soul Ruins Secret Realm collapse?" Without waiting for Lin Yuan's answer, he spoke directly, "Has the heaven swallowing pagoda recognized you as its Revered Master?"

This was not a question, but an assertion. Lin Yuan remained silent for a moment, and with a flash of blood-light in his palm, that miniature blood pagoda appeared indistinctly.

"No need to be nervous." Li Xuan sighed and waved his hand to set up a triple soundproofing barrier. "Except for a successor of the Devouring Origin, no one can take the heaven swallowing pagoda. Moreover..." He gave Lin Yuan a meaningful look. "Relying solely on your own cultivation, it would be absolutely impossible to reach such achievements in such a short time. That was the Origin Crystal of a Soul Clan Saint King."

Li Xuan turned his back, his voice carrying a hint of emotion. "I just didn't expect... that the Legacy left by the Ancestral Master would actually be obtained by a sixteen-year-old youth."

Changing the subject, his expression suddenly became serious, and his voice was kept extremely low. "Remember, in front of outsiders, you can only show the Devouring Origin." He pointed to Lin Yuan's palm. "As for the heaven swallowing pagoda, before you have enough ability to protect yourself, you must never expose it!"

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly felt something—the Clone he left in the Spirit Martial Hall had just finished comprehending the third Time Rune and had officially ended its seclusion. This subtle change in expression did not escape Li Xuan's eyes. "What is it?"

"My Disciple's Clone has just finished its seclusion," Lin Yuan told him truthfully. "I was fortunate enough to comprehend three Time Runes."

"Time Origin Law?" Li Xuan raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by this news as well.

The Grand Hall Master suddenly raised his hand and struck out a profound hand seal. A light screen immediately appeared on the wall of the cultivation room, displaying the scene of the seclusion room where Lin Yuan's Clone was located. The Clone was surrounded by three silver runes, each emitting mysterious time fluctuations, causing the surrounding space to ripple with subtle distortions.

"Truly abnormal." Li Xuan revealed a hint of a smile. "Although it's not worth mentioning compared to your main body's achievements in the Devouring Origin, the comprehension of the Time Origin Law is inherently difficult." He stroked his beard thoughtfully. "Your Clone has now comprehended the three runes on the Time Origin Law stone tablet, reaching a 3% mastery of the Time Origin Law. With your bone age of 16, I estimate the Time-Space Divine Temple has already arranged for someone to come and guide your Clone on the way to the Taichu Divine Continent. I wonder what plans your main body has?"

Lin Yuan bowed slightly, his posture respectful but not lacking in character, his back as straight as a green pine. "This Disciple has thought it over repeatedly and wishes to wait for the Clone to first head to the Taichu Divine Continent to scout the situation before deciding on the main body's destination. Currently, the main body's cultivation has increased too quickly and the Foundation still needs to settle, so the main body will go into seclusion for a period of time first."

"A wise choice." Li Xuan nodded, a flash of approval in his eyes, his fingers in his sleeve lightly calculating. "Although your Clone only has Spirit Refining Realm cultivation, a 3% mastery of the Time Origin Law should be the first among the current generation of the Spirit Refining Realm. The Time-Space Divine Temple has always valued those with talent in the Time Origin Law; their cultivation methods..." Speaking to here, Li Xuan paused meaningfully, "are far beyond what my Spirit Martial Hall can compare to. There is one more thing you must keep in mind: your main body is already at the Myriad Laws Realm. In the future, when you comprehend the Devouring Origin Law, you must never go to a place with time acceleration."

Lin Yuan's gaze shifted slightly as he understood in his heart. The great powers of the Taichu Divine Continent would use the power of the Time Origin to accelerate the cultivation process of their Disciples before they reached the Myriad Laws Realm. However, to comprehend an Origin Law in a place with time acceleration would increase the difficulty ten thousand-fold because of the interference from the Time Origin. Therefore, except for the Time Origin Law itself, other cultivators in the Myriad Laws Realm cannot use time acceleration to speed up their Law comprehension!

Lin Yuan's final plan was to have his Clone infiltrate the interior of the Time-Space Divine Temple, which would allow him to obtain their resource cultivation while also serving as a secret escape route. Meanwhile, the main body could take this Opportunity to solidify his Foundation and wait for the right moment to go to the Taichu Divine Continent.

"Your Devouring Origin Law has reached 50% mastery; you can try to study those five Origin dao patterns." Li Xuan suddenly changed the subject. With a light wave of his sleeve, the space runes on the four walls of the cultivation room flowed like a galaxy, flickering in and out of existence. "Remember, when walking outside, you can appropriately reveal the Devouring Origin Law, but..." His gaze suddenly became as sharp as a sword, "the matter of the Origin Dao Artifact must not be known by a second person for the time being."

"This Disciple will keep Revered Master's teachings in mind," Lin Yuan responded solemnly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking his storage ring.

Li Xuan gave Lin Yuan a deep look before his figure gradually blurred, turning into a streak of green light that pierced through the spatial barrier and departed. Silence returned to the cultivation room, with only the occasional glimmer of the runes on the walls reflecting Lin Yuan's thoughtful face.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and after calming his mind, he called out the Data Panel. A translucent light screen expanded before his eyes, emitting a faint blue light:
