307: Wildfire Elder

Xun Xiuyuan still kept over 900 trillion exotic beast value, and all the excess exotic beast value was used to boost his mental strength. After three trials, Xun Xiuyuan's mental strength reached seventy million.

He placed the spatial attribute Primordial World Fragment obtained from the trials into his Inner World, making his Inner World more complete.

After Xun Xiuyuan successfully passed the three trials of the God King Realm, the figure of Nine Nether appeared again.

"Your strength has exceeded my expectations. There are still three Saint-level trials ahead. Do you want to try them now?"

Nine Nether looked at Xun Xiuyuan and asked leisurely.

Xun Xiuyuan inquired, "What is the reward?"

Nine Nether looked at Xun Xiuyuan and said, "Do you know what the Saint Realm cultivates?"

Of course, Xun Xiuyuan knew. The cultivation of the Saint Realm is to continuously perfect one's Inner World until it becomes a truly independent world.

At that point, one achieves the Saint King Realm.

It can be said that all Saint Kings have a relatively perfect Inner World, a small universe that can operate independently.

Of course, there are still differences. Not everyone can integrate all Laws into their Inner World like Xun Xiuyuan, so there are naturally distinctions in strength.

Nine Nether did not mind Xun Xiuyuan's silence.

Instead, he directly said, "Besides continuously perfecting the Laws within oneself, there is also a shortcut for Saint Realm cultivation: devouring the Inner Worlds, or small universes, of others."

"The reward for the three Saint Realm trials is a small universe that I cannot devour. This was left behind by a dying Saint King I killed during my travels."

Xun Xiuyuan was stunned: "A small universe? Devouring?"

Seeing that Xun Xiuyuan was finally interested, Nine Nether continued, "Although I am a Saint King, I have always been unable to thoroughly comprehend the Law of the Soul. Therefore, there is no life in my Inner Universe, no true meaning of life. The Law of the Soul in the small universe offered as a reward is very powerful, which is why I cannot devour it."

"If I were to force myself to devour it, it would be counterproductive and offer no benefits."

Xun Xiuyuan now understood a little and asked, "Senior Nine Nether, are Inner Worlds all the same size?"

Because ever since Xun Xiuyuan integrated the Law of Time into himself, his Inner World had been continuously expanding, showing no signs of stopping.

Nine Nether was stunned, as if Xun Xiuyuan had asked a very ridiculous question.

"Of course not. If all eleven main Laws are comprehended, it is said that the Inner World is infinitely vast. Of course, no one can truly comprehend all main Laws, because all Laws are relative. For example, if you comprehend light, trying to comprehend darkness becomes exponentially difficult. If you comprehend the soul, then the Law of Life becomes hard to grasp."

Nine Nether explained patiently, finally pointing to himself.

"For example, me. I comprehended the Law of Life very easily, but I have always been unable to comprehend the Law of the Soul. If one comprehends eight or more of the eleven main Laws, and then advances to the Saint King Realm, they will be an existence of unparalleled power."

Xun Xiuyuan couldn't help but curl his lips: "Is eight a lot? There are many geniuses in the Extraterritorial Battlefield with nine or ten Laws."

Nine Nether said disdainfully, "What are those? Derivative Laws don't count. Although they add to strength, it's not by much. My strong suit is the Law of Life, so Laws like the Law of Protection, the Law of Slaughter, and so on, are very easy to comprehend. If you counted those, I would have twenty Laws."

Xun Xiuyuan understood that the Laws mentioned by Saint Kings referred to main Laws.

The Extraterritorial Battlefield did not differentiate them so meticulously.

Seeing that Xun Xiuyuan no longer had any doubts, Nine Nether returned to his previous question: "Do you want to try the Saint trials?"

Xun Xiuyuan shook his head. A Saint trial set up by a Saint King; his chances of succeeding if he tried now were too slim.

Nine Nether looked at Xun Xiuyuan and said, "Very good, you are very calm. If you had agreed, there's an eighty percent chance you would have died in the trials, but I'm not entirely sure, because your secret treasure is very powerful."

Xun Xiuyuan glanced at the old man in front of him; he was not a good person.

He activated the secret realm key and left the secret realm of the trials.

He looked again at the two optional attribute Primordial World Fragments in his backpack. Among the main Law Primordial World Fragments, he still hadn't obtained the ones for Time and Soul.

Without further thought, he took out the two fragments and chose the Time and Soul attributes respectively.

Then he placed them into his Inner World.

In just an instant, Xun Xiuyuan felt that the expansion speed of his Inner World had become even faster.

Although Nine Nether didn't explicitly state it, Xun Xiuyuan knew that his internal situation was definitely different, because as his Inner World expanded, it had gradually evolved into a relatively perfect world.

Xun Xiuyuan, having emerged from his seclusion, once again pondered the matters of the Yuan Ling Sect.

As long as the three envoys were still in the Heavenly Palace, the Yuan Ling Sect would temporarily be unaware of his whereabouts. He had to use this time difference to deal with the Eternal Great World.

Otherwise, if he were truly conscripted into the Yuan Ling Sect, it would not be so easy to deal with the Eternal Great World.

Nine Nether's meaning was very clear: understanding the Yuan Ling Sect before entering it would be beneficial to him.

Conversely, entering the Yuan Ling Sect would surely lead him to trust the Yuan Ling Sect and no longer believe Nine Nether's words. There could only be one possibility: his soul would be controlled or brainwashed.

For example, Xun Xiuyuan's Soul Control Technique. However, the Yuan Ling Sect did not even allow organizations like the Heavenly Palace Alliance to exist. If he used the Soul Control Technique extensively, the Yuan Ling Sect would intervene even more.

Originally, after Xun Xiuyuan returned from the Lieyang Great World, he had the idea of controlling everyone in the Heavenly Palace Alliance with the Soul Control Technique, so that his Great Barren World would be sufficiently safe.

But now, Xun Xiuyuan dared not do so, because the Yuan Ling Sect would surely intervene.

After much deliberation, Xun Xiuyuan decided to deal with the Eternal Great World first, which could also be considered a warning to others.

The Yuan Ling Sect has four Great Guardian Sacred Beasts and eight Great Elder Protectors, all at the peak of the Great Saint Realm.

At this moment, in the mountain peak of Elder Shanhuo, one of the eight Great Elders, a True Saint at the peak knelt on the ground: "Elder, please consider the Lie Family's many years of devotion and uphold justice for them."

A bald old man looked at Lie Yong below and said, "Lie Yong, you may rise. The sect has already arranged for envoys to go to that Great Barren World. News should return very soon. I will think of a way then."

Lie Yong was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Thank you, Elder. This subordinate takes his leave."

After Lie Yong left, Mountain Fire said softly, "Go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield and see. If this Xun Xiuyuan has no significant background, you can deal with him yourself. If he truly reaches the Yuan Ling Sect, it will be difficult to act."

A voice echoed in the void: "Understood. I know what to do."

Afterward, the void returned to silence.
