263: Taiyida Jue

At Lin Chen's current realm, each breakthrough required countless years of accumulation.

For example, true spirit power required enduring trials again and again, improving the true spirit's various abilities... But Lin Chen's breakthrough only required continuously enduring the growth and transformation of his true spirit power.

Just like that, another 320 years passed.

Lin Chen's current breakthrough finally reached its final stage.

After nearly a hundred years of continuous improvement, his true spirit power broke through its shackles today, reaching a new realm!

Lin Chen's thought processing speed and comprehension surged dramatically, increasing by a thousandfold compared to before!

His Physical Strength transformation had long since concluded.

Feeling the changes within him, he believed that if he were to face Ye Shaoyang again, he would definitely be able to kill him!

After collecting his thoughts, Lin Chen looked at the system panel.

Name: Lin Chen

Realm: Nine-Step Emperor Realm + (Promoted after comprehending 1% Source Great Dao and true spirit transformation)

true spirit: Nine-Step Emperor Realm + (Cost 50 million Energy Points to promote)

Golden Body: Imperial Rank Eight Forging + (Cost 15 million Energy Points to promote)

Physical Strength: 500 trillion Dragon Elephant

Taiyi Great Dao (Source): 0%

...Energy Points: 81.5 million

System Upgrade: 100,000 Energy Points

Source-level Great Dao?

Lin Chen gazed at the system panel, deep in thought.

In the dimensional world, the Great Dao evolved by the heavenly dao will was the Source-level Great Dao, hence called the Source Great Dao.

The Source Great Dao involved the most fundamental power of the Great Dao, and its power would undergo a qualitative leap!

It was just like the Source-level Battle Skills and body techniques deduced by the system.

The amplification factor far exceeded the limit-breaking level!

"So, the Great Emperor Realm requires elevating one's self-created Great Dao to this level."

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and understood some of the cultivation path for the Great Emperor Realm.

It was very likely that the Great Emperor Realm required elevating one's self-created Great Dao to the peak of the Source level!

This meant that he could currently only unleash a mere fraction of the Taiyi Great Dao's true power.

Emperor Realm cultivation merely involved perfecting one's self-created Great Dao, forming a complete system, which was why there were nine steps... Just like the Great Dao of Time, the reason the Time Saint Lord could be called a Saint Lord was because he had comprehended the Great Dao of Time to an extremely high realm.

It was very likely beyond the Source level, a realm Lin Chen couldn't even imagine... "Let's see how many Energy Points are needed to comprehend 1% of the Source-level Great Dao."

With a thought, Lin Chen wished to comprehend 1% of the Source-level Great Dao.

Buzz—

The system panel flickered, instantly consuming 50 million Energy Points.

Lin Chen's pupils contracted. Although he had already prepared himself mentally,

He felt that the Energy Points consumed this time wouldn't be small, but he hadn't expected to still underestimate the consumption of the Source-level Great Dao!

1% required 50 million Energy Points, so wouldn't full comprehension require 5 billion Energy Points!

Before Lin Chen could react,

Boom—

Countless Great Dao profound insights appeared in the Origin Chamber.

Information regarding this 1% of the Source-level Great Dao also continuously poured into his mind.

His true spirit, at the Nine-Step Emperor Realm level, was barely able to accept it. If his true spirit realm were any lower, he would probably have suffered qi deviation...

Lin Chen still had 500 million points. He quickly exchanged them for 5 enlightenment spirit pills, and then lit the thousand-core ancient lamp.

The 30,000-fold comprehension amplification was activated!

Immediately, Lin Chen entered a state of super enlightenment, and his speed of comprehending Great Dao profound insights reached an unbelievable level.

Soon, ten years passed.

Lin Chen finally fully mastered this 1% of the Source-level Taiyi Great Dao!

"I still have over 30 million Energy Points left, enough to upgrade my Golden Body once more."

"And the system can also be upgraded now."

"After the system upgrade, it should be able to deduce Source-intermediate level Great Dao, right?"

...Cultivation knows no years. In a blink of an eye, Lin Chen went into seclusion again for 480 years.

The main reason was that the Golden Body transformation took too long.

This time, Lin Chen's Golden Body reached Imperial Rank Nine Forging, which was the peak level of the Emperor Realm!

The improvement of the Physical Strength was inherently more difficult.

After all, using Physical Strength to contend with the power of the Great Dao was a path fraught with difficulties... A sense of vicissitude flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, then quickly returned to clarity.

Although he used the time acceleration field to cultivate in seclusion, less than 2 hours had passed in the outside world.

However, his main body had truly experienced nearly a thousand years of time!

Fortunately, Lin Chen's true spirit was strong enough. If an ordinary person were to sit in meditation for a thousand years like this, they would have long since been unable to bear it...

Collecting his thoughts, Lin Chen looked at the system panel.

Name: Lin Chen

Realm: Nine-Step Emperor Realm + (Promoted after true spirit transformation)

true spirit: Nine-Step Emperor Realm + (Cost 50 million Energy Points to promote)

Golden Body: Imperial Rank Nine Forging + (Cost 150 million Energy Points to promote)

Physical Strength: 1000 trillion Dragon Elephant

Taiyi Great Dao (Source): 1% +

Great Dao Combat Skill Deduction: Cost 500,000 Energy Points

Great Dao Combat Skill Deduction (Self-created): Cost 10 million Energy Points

Body Technique Deduction: Cost 1 million Energy Points

...Energy Points: 16.4 million

System Upgrade: 10 million Energy Points

This system upgrade did not bring major changes; only the Energy Points required for Great Dao Combat Skill deduction increased.

Lin Chen was particularly looking forward to the deduction of Battle Skills for his self-created Great Dao.

According to his estimation, this time it should be able to deduce Source-intermediate level Battle Skills!

"Let's try it!"

With a thought, Lin Chen consumed 10 million Energy Points.

As for the 28 Great Dao he had already fully comprehended, he did not plan to spend Energy Points to deduce them.

At that level of Great Dao, the Source-intermediate level Battle Skills deduced would have limited improvement on his combat power.

After all, the basic power level was too low for him now... As Lin Chen's realm improved, the Taiyi Great Dao became the decisive factor in his strength!

The Taiyi Great Dao was an ultimate-level Great Dao, and now he had comprehended it to the Source level.

The Great Dao Combat Skill deduced from it would definitely be incredibly heaven-defying!

After the system was upgraded again, the speed of Battle Skill deduction became much faster.

In three days, this Battle Skill was deduced.

Great Dao Combat Skill (Self-created): Taiyi Blade Art (Source-intermediate) (0 / 10 million Energy Points)

(The Blade Art is divided into ten stages, each containing different Great Dao characteristics. The final stage can command all nine preceding stages of the Blade Art, merging the nine stages into one!)

It truly was Source-intermediate level!

However, to fully master it still required 10 million Energy Points, which Lin Chen currently did not have enough of...

Based on this calculation, he could only learn the first six stages of the Blade Art.

After a moment of thought, Lin Chen directly consumed 6 million Energy Points.

Immediately, a vast torrent of memories surged into Lin Chen's mind.

Under the 20,000-fold comprehension amplification, he began to comprehend the profound insights of the vast Taiyi Blade Art.

As a Source-intermediate level Battle Skill, its core profound insights were too complex.

If such a Battle Skill were to be taught to ordinary beings, they would never learn it even if they studied until they died...

Because the threshold for the Taiyi Blade Art was too high!

First, one had to comprehend the Taiyi Great Dao to learn this Blade Art... This single threshold alone destined the Taiyi Blade Art to be Lin Chen's exclusive Battle Skill.

One year later, Lin Chen finally fully mastered the first six stages of the Taiyi Blade Art.
