269: Determine the breakthrough time of the two foundation-level masters, the trapped Huo Linchen

“What a great opportunity!”

In the Ancestral Court Great World, the Lao Deng Incarnation arrived silently.

He had been observing the Mirror Universe through the mirror gate.

Because the Mirror Universe had rules restricting outsiders from entering, he couldn't enter.

But as Mirror Lin Chen gained control of the source of the mirror image, the Mirror Universe's restrictions on powerful outsiders were broken, allowing him to enter the Mirror Universe through the mirror gate.

So the Lao Deng Incarnation didn't hesitate, immediately entering the Mirror Universe to protect Mirror Lin Chen.

In the Mirror Universe, the Mirror Clan's Gods were sealed and taken away, but that didn't mean there were no other Gods; many other clans still had Upper God-level powerhouses.

Once these races' Upper Gods discovered the Mirror Clan's upheaval, they would surely head to the Mirror Clan's ancestral land to investigate the situation, which would inevitably affect Mirror Lin Chen, who was currently digesting his opportunity.

This was the purpose of the Lao Deng Incarnation's arrival: he only needed to guard Mirror Lin Chen for a period, waiting for humanity's expeditionary forces to enter the Mirror Universe.

At that time, there would be no existence capable of threatening Mirror Lin Chen in the Mirror Universe, and the development of the Mirror Universe would proceed according to the established process, ultimately being completely consumed and transformed into a boost for humanity's growth.

At this moment, Mirror Lin Chen was immersed in enlightenment.

The Mirror Dao rules within the source of the mirror image were displayed to him without reservation; he merely glanced at them and fell into enlightenment, gaining insights every moment, already glimpsing the path ahead for Mirror Dao. He only needed to press forward steadfastly to surely embark on the Mirror Dao path.

Before the rules within the source of the mirror image were exhausted, he would surely be able to break through to Foundation Level, and this would not take too long.

The cosmic origin within the source of the mirror image was also being devoured and absorbed by the void-reality mirror. The void-reality mirror and Mirror Lin Chen, as a single entity, also began their transformation, evolving towards the direction of a Dao-level treasure.

For a main artifact to evolve into a Dao-level treasure, first, it needs to contain corresponding rules, and these rules are those on the path of rules, not God Rank rules.

Second, it needs a large amount of energy to aid in its transformation, with various origin energies being the best, and among them, world origin (cosmic origin) energy is the strongest and most suitable.

Now, the void-reality mirror, this main artifact, can be said to have gathered all the conditions required to evolve into a Dao-level treasure.

With cosmic origin as the evolutionary energy, and Mirror Lin Chen comprehending the Mirror Dao rules and embarking on the path of rules, its evolution is already a certainty.

This means that after Mirror Lin Chen digests the source of the mirror image, he will be able to easily achieve the Foundation Level rank without relying on any specific vessel.

From this perspective, Mirror Lin Chen will be the first clone among Lin Chen and his various clones to break through to Foundation Level, much faster than the main body's cultivation speed.

Once Mirror Lin Chen breaks through to Foundation Level, it will inevitably drive the cultivation of Lin Chen's main body, shortening the time for the main body to break through to Foundation Level. After all, the threshold has already been broken, and the path to breakthrough has been traversed once; traversing it again will only be easier.

Of course, only Lin Chen enjoys such treatment. The clones and incarnations of human Foundation Level powerhouses have not broken through to Foundation Level, which shows that this situation is not a regular occurrence.

Generally, after a Foundation Level breakthrough, the difficulty for associated clones and incarnations to break through to Foundation Level increases by hundreds or thousands of times. It's not like Lin Chen's situation, where the cultivation difficulty doesn't increase but instead decreases.

One can only say that people's physiques differ.

In the Ancestral Court Great World, Lin Chen already knew the specific details of the opportunity Mirror Lin Chen had obtained, and he was also happy.

Mirror Lin Chen has truly surpassed his main body; Mirror Lin Chen's cultivation path is already different from the main body's traditional cultivation route.

As an artifact clone, during the process of the main artifact void-reality mirror evolving into a Dao-level treasure, it can pull Mirror Lin Chen's cultivation to the Half-step Foundation Level.

During this process, no additional resources are needed; cosmic origin is the best cultivation resource.

Then, the moment the main artifact void-reality mirror evolves into a Dao-level treasure will also be the moment Mirror Lin Chen takes the crucial step and achieves Foundation Level.

“There's no need to worry about Mirror Lin Chen's side. As for Faith Lin Chen's side, with the Federation's efforts, there's also no need to worry. We just need to wait for time to pass, and he will naturally be able to break through to Foundation Level and become a Foundation Level existence.”

As Lin Chen thought this, he realized that his main body and the Three Souls Clone were somewhat lagging. The power they wielded was very high-end, but their cultivation speed was not fast.

The time for them to break through to Foundation Level was somewhat uncertain, and their future could not be predicted, far from Mirror Lin Chen and Faith Lin Chen, who were guaranteed to break through within two thousand years.

“Just take it slow. I don't need to rush. A clone is also me. As long as one clone breaks through, I will be a Foundation Level powerhouse.”

“The Three Souls Clone also don't need to rush. The power they cultivate isn't some righteous power; as long as they can make normal progress, that's enough.”

After understanding his own situation, Lin Chen focused his mind and continued his secluded cultivation. With the enlightenment remnant stele by his side, his cultivation speed was not slow, but it couldn't compare to Mirror Lin Chen, who had a direct cheat, essentially being directly promoted to Foundation Level.

“Heh, what kind of ghost place is this?”

The 105th generation Fire · Lin Chen, with a Ninth Order Gods cultivation, after being born, randomly chose a spatial crack and drifted for a year before leaving the spatial crack and returning to normal star space.

Lin Chen is now also immensely wealthy. Each generation of Five Elements Clone is nurtured with God Rank materials, emerging with a Fifth Order Gods cultivation.

After three months of extreme training in the Lin Chen Dao Domain, they have a Ninth Order Gods cultivation when they begin exploring. As long as they don't seek death, there's a very high probability they'll break through to Lower God within a century.

At this stage, only a Ninth Order Gods Five Elements Clone is qualified to bear Lin Chen's bad luck. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have a chance to be born; they would silently fail during gestation, and only a tiny bit of bad luck would be consumed.

So Lin Chen could only strengthen the Five Elements Clone. A powerful Five Elements Clone could consume more bad luck, while a weak Five Elements Clone would be a complete waste of materials.

Fire · Lin Chen stood in the star space. He didn't feel any malice; the star space environment was incredibly clean.

This star space not only lacked malice but also lacked the various cosmic energies he was familiar with.

The energy present in the star space was very unfamiliar. He couldn't directly absorb it yet; he needed to analyze it first and establish an energy filtering and conversion system within his body before he could utilize the cosmic energy of this star space.

Not only that, but his connection with the main body became faint, as if he were in a place very far from the main body. He suspected whether he had already drifted into an outer universe.

Only by entering an outer universe would there be no familiar malice or cosmic energy, and only by entering an outer universe would he need to consider the issues of cosmic energy analysis and absorption.

“No way, did I just arrive in an outer universe this easily?”

“I remember that humanity, with a history of seemingly hundreds of thousands of years, has only discovered less than a hundred outer universes, and many of them cannot be developed because they are too far away. Only a few universes have conditions for slow development.”

Fire · Lin Chen was puzzled, but this didn't hinder anything.

His current goal wasn't to dwell on these things, but to explore this universe, gather more information, determine if it was an outer universe known to humanity, and then try to deepen his connection with the main body. If conditions allowed, he could even summon the Heavenly Demon Human Race to come and play in this universe.

For the Heavenly Demon Human Race, not adventuring in outer universes would make their name somewhat undeserved.
