Chapter 473 Showdown with the Mountain Hermit
As soon as he spoke, the Mountain Guest still had some disbelief in his heart. He flashed in front of Chen Yuan and directly touched his divine power.
Sensing the surging divine power within his disciple, he suddenly looked up, his face filled with shock: "It's actually true!"
Chen Yuan smiled and nodded: "It took more than 1,600 years to finally break through the shackles; it was truly a stroke of luck."
"Sixteen hundred years —"
The man sitting on the mountain paused, speechless.
Yes, it was precisely because this speed was so exaggerated that even witnessing it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it. Only after personally experiencing the other party's divine power level did he have to admit the fact.
Now that the disciple's achievements have been confirmed, the mountain dweller is at a loss for words.
Even though he was a god-king in his previous life, he had never seen a path to cultivate divine power so quickly. That was an infinite divine body, which even god-kings valued highly.
On the Origin Continent, some Chaos Great Saints with insufficient foundations, upon obtaining the secret method of reincarnation, would first undergo reincarnation to cultivate again in order to obtain the best foundation.
And this so-called foundation refers to the Infinite Divine Body.
The Divine Power School has a far-reaching influence, and is even closely related to the nine Great Paths of the entire Origin World. No matter which Great Path a cultivator wants to go far on, they need a sufficiently strong foundation of Divine Power.
As a powerful god-king, the reincarnation technique was not difficult for Zuo Shan Ke, which is why he did not care about the targeting of the original will, even though he was forced to take the most ordinary law path in this life.
Because he can reincarnate at any time, if he wants to avoid the influence of the original will, he can go through reincarnation and reincarnate directly to the Origin Continent to start over.
With the accumulation of experience, it is not difficult for Zuo Shan Ke to achieve the Infinite Divine Body. Even returning to the first level of the God King realm is not a big deal for him. The difficulty lies in how to go further.
But whether it's difficult or not is one thing; if he were to actually retrace the path of the Infinite Divine Body, it would take quite a while.
Although it won't take as long as a full cycle, it will still take at least several hundred days.
Converted to the time system of the cosmic sea, that's hundreds of epochs.
This was almost the limit, the Mountain-Sitting Guest thought to himself. Even if a god-king who was even more powerful than him reincarnated and started cultivating again, the efficiency of forging an infinite divine body wouldn't be much faster.
That's why he was so shocked.
How long has my disciple been cultivating? At most, less than two eras, of which only one and a half eras have been spent on the path of divine power!
Not to mention, the Infinite Divine Body Barrier that had blocked countless geniuses was broken through by his disciple in just sixteen hundred years, which was simply astonishing.
"incredible."
After a moment, the mountain dweller managed to regain his composure, shook his head and sighed, "I really understand you less and less, Chen Yuan."
"Sometimes I even wonder if you are some old monster reincarnated and cultivating again, which is why you have improved so rapidly."
Chen Yuan smiled upon hearing this: "Can't you tell, teacher, whether I'm a reincarnation or not?"
The mountain hermit thought it made sense. He had watched this disciple grow up since he was weak, so he could naturally tell whether he was a reincarnation of a strong person.
After all, it's hard to fake ignorance of the basics of cultivation.
However, at this moment, he heard Chen Yuan continue, "Moreover, compared to the disciple, the teacher is more like a reincarnation of a powerful being."
"What did you say!" The mountain dweller was clearly caught off guard by the news, and his expression was shocked.
Judging from the teacher's expression, my guess should be correct.
Chen Yuan smiled slyly.
"————" The mountain dweller immediately realized that this disciple had just been bluffing him.
"We've had such a peaceful life for so many years, but we were careless after all." He shook his head and smiled helplessly. "When did you discover it, my disciple?"
Now that his true colors had been seen through, the Mountain-Sitting Guest simply stopped pretending. He dropped his lazy demeanor and his expression became dignified.
Chen Yuan already knew the teacher's identity, but he couldn't say such things.
Fortunately, he had been preparing for today's confrontation for a long time, and said, "Actually, Master's usual disguise is quite good, but it is not without flaws. It's just that I had too little knowledge of ancient civilizations, so I couldn't detect them."
"However, after the disciples successively obtained the inheritances of two ancient civilizations, they finally discovered three flaws after comparison."
"Wait a minute." The Mountain Guest couldn't help but interrupt Chen Yuan, asking, "Two ancient civilizations? Besides the Duan Dong River, you've come into contact with other lineages? That shouldn't be the case."
"Teacher, are you trying to say that the lineage of Duan Donghe was deliberately revealed by the primordial cosmic will to combat the calamity of the World Beasts?"
"Theoretically, the cosmic sea should not have this level of inheritance, let alone two."
The mountain dweller paused, nodded, and then asked with a surprised expression, "You even know about the Beasts of the Realms?"
"Of course." Chen Yuan paused before explaining, "Due to some reasons, my will has undergone a transformation, and now I can deceive the original will and control a portion of the original universe's authority."
"I learned about the Beasts of the Realm from the Primordial Universe."
"For some reason—" a guess arose in the mountain dweller's mind, and he asked, "Is it a restriction imposed by the supreme rules?"
Chen Yuan nodded.
"Alright, then I won't ask anymore," said the Mountain-Sitting Guest. "So, regarding the Broken East River's inheritance, did you also find it through your Primal Universe access?"
"More or less." Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "But the ability to discover the Duan Donghe inheritance in advance still relies on the virtual universe."
"This secret technique has been elevated to the peak of the Eternal level, covering a range of trillions of light-years."
"I see." The Mountain Guest thought that Chen Yuan had discovered the information about the Broken East River's inheritance through the Primal Universe Authority and then found its specific location through the Virtual Universe Network.
"I never imagined that your mental will was so unique, that you could control a part of the primordial universe without possessing another body."
The mountain dweller shook his head slightly, sighing deeply. Suddenly, he paused, then asked hastily, "By the way, did you also obtain your power to resurrect true gods through this method?"
Seeing Chen Yuan nod, he asked again, "What is the limit of this resurrection power? Can beings surpassing true gods be resurrected?"
"I'm sorry, teacher." Chen Yuan could guess what the other person was thinking, and shook his head, saying, "The upper limit for resurrection is only at the True God level."
"I see—" Upon hearing this, the mountain dweller, though he had already guessed it, still felt a sense of disappointment as his only hope was dashed.
"Teacher, are you asking about the power of resurrection? Is there someone you want to be resurrected?" Chen Yuan asked knowingly.
"Hmm." The Mountain Guest nodded and tried to say, "My past life—well, I can't say that. You just need to know that this person is very important to me."
Chen Yuan knew that due to restrictions, his teacher could not proactively reveal any information about the Origin Continent, but through the system, he was not unable to block the detection of the Supreme Rules.
With the intention of being open and honest with his teacher, Chen Yuan said, "If you trust me, I have a treasure that can shield me from the detection of rules. Please come in and we can talk."
As he spoke, he took out the Shiyuan Hall and placed it in front of the two of them.
"Your secret treasure—" The Mountain Guest's expression was slightly surprised: "It has actually been reforged to the peak of the Eternal level, truly incredible."
"But even an eternal-level treasure cannot possibly block out the rules."
"You'll know when the teacher comes in," Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Alright, I'd like to see what you have up your sleeve." The Mountain Dweller shook his head, showing no fear.
His trust in this disciple was one aspect, but he also had confidence in his own abilities.
Although he is only a true god of law in this life, his will as a god-king is still there, and he can use the secret technique of reincarnation to be reborn at any time, so he is not afraid of danger at all.
Without hesitation, the mountain dweller walked straight into the Shiyuan Hall, and Chen Yuan followed him in, closing the hall door behind him.
The next second, he directly incorporated the palace into his optimization space.
Indeed, the reliance that Chen Yuan mentioned for shielding the supreme rules could not be the Primordial Palace, which is only at the peak of Eternity, but rather this optimized space.
In fact, he initially overlooked the shielding capabilities of the optimization space, treating it only as a storage space and a place to teleport.
However, when he had previously communicated with the "Spirit of the Holy Weapon Sect" in the "Mountain of the Inheritance," the Tomb Ship at that time was in this space, and the two unknowingly talked a lot about the Origin Continent.
Only after the mountains disappeared did Chen Yuan belatedly realize that he had not been restricted by the supreme rules.
Then, he noticed the extraordinary nature of the optimization space and prepared to use it as a treasure trove to shield himself from the gaze of the supreme rules.
The reason I'm prepared to confront the teacher today is because there's room for improvement.
Otherwise, under the influence of the supreme rules, even if he wanted to confront the teacher before he passed through reincarnation, it would be difficult to have a normal conversation with him.
But with room for optimization, everything is different.
