“Hmm?” Braydon Neal exclaimed, taken aback by the revelation.
With his keen intellect, Braydon surmised from the elder’s words that the figure on the throne hailed not from the ruins nor the outside world, but from the boundless expanse of the starry sky.
In the cosmos, myriad intelligent life forms surely existed, dwarfing Earth’s significance in the grand scheme of things.
The goateed elder continued, “Master has left behind an inheritance, guarded by his remnant soul. The criteria aren’t stringent. As a solitary wanderer in his prime, he ascended from obscurity to greatness, traversing the vast cosmos.
“As long as you’ve reached the body-refinement realm and can amplify your combat strength by 10,000 times your current level, you’ll be eligible for Master’s basic legacy,” the elder explained nonchalantly.
Braydon’s reaction was one of bewilderment.
Were these conditions truly not demanding?
Amplifying his power by 10,000 times of the same realm—could such an individual be found on Earth or within the 3,000 ruins?
He suspected the elder was toying with him.
The goateed elder fixed Braydon with a stern gaze.
“Still hesitant? These are the minimum requirements. Once met, you’ll gain access to Master’s foundational legacy.”
Braydon was incredulous.
“And this is considered basic inheritance?”
The elder shook his head.
“A denizen of a humble world like yours could never comprehend Master’s magnificence. Star Tower has detected that your combat prowess can be magnified by 4,000 times. Let me see yours.”
Braydon’s original form remained at the level of a newly ascended emperor, lacking the strength to accumulate further.
With a mental command, he manifested the 3,000 imperial paths.
These imperial paths could amplify his strength by 4,000 times.
The old man stroked his goatee thoughtfully, his eyes narrowing.
“Interesting. He treads the path of laws, relying on them to enhance his power.”
“Laws?” Braydon inquired, intrigued.
The elder patiently elucidated, “In the great thousand worlds, billions cultivate various paths, yet all converge toward two ultimate ends. One involves augmenting combat prowess through laws, while the other centers on internal cultivation.”
Every being in the human realm bore inherent flaws.
Those born without innate flaws were the most fearsome creatures, possessing connate perfection.
If the goateed elder truly possessed the terrifying power he claimed, he could effortlessly end Braydon’s life with a mere gesture.
There was no need for all this banter.
With that thought, Braydon settled into a cross-legged position, immersing himself in deep cultivation.
His spiritual aperture emitted a faint glow as he delved into his practice.
Meanwhile, Green Lotus and the ancient martial arts banished immortal pursued their own paths of understanding, just as Braydon did.
Thanks to his refinement of the seed of life, his body had achieved perfection, and his talent had surged tenfold, hastening his comprehension of the imperial path.
Presently, Braydon’s talent matched, if not surpassed, that of Green Lotus from a month prior.
However, the transformation had also bolstered Green Lotus’ malevolent nature, amplifying his already formidable talent tenfold.
This disparity irked Braydon.
Undeterred, Braydon delved into the golden imperial path, effortlessly advancing his saber path to the second level.
Within half a day, it ascended to the third level, demonstrating his innate aptitude with the saber imperial path.
Meanwhile, Green Lotus continued his anomalous ascent, his mastery of the sword imperial path paving the way for swift comprehension of other imperial paths.
Frustrated, the ancient martial arts banished immortal also strove to keep pace, their collective efforts allowing them to explore twenty imperial paths in a single day, moving on to new avenues once the second level was attained.
The relentless march of time continued unabated.
Despite 100 days passing within the confines of Star Tower, in the outside world, only 10 days had elapsed.
Suddenly, the goateed elder materialized, his eyes alight with astonishment as if beholding something extraordinary.
“Kid, there’s a mystery within your being,” he exclaimed, his surprise palpable. “In just a hundred days here, your battle prowess has been escalating. Your cultivation pace quickens as you progress further—it’s abnormal. There must be a hidden secret within you!”
Clearly, this artifact spirit was no simpleton.
Typically, as individuals advanced in their cultivation, their progress would gradually slow down.
However, some rare beings defied this norm, accelerating as they ascended.
This anomaly hinted at one thing: their untapped potential during their youth was so vast that it couldn’t fully manifest until later stages.
As their strength and realm expanded, their vessel— their body—would likewise grow, allowing their latent potential to unfurl to its fullest extent.
This process of unleashing one’s potential represented the stage of the swiftest progress.
Thus, the goateed elder stood shocked by the revelation.
Interrupted by this revelation, Braydon abruptly rose to his feet, the 3,000 imperial paths arrayed behind him in a display of power.
“I’m a newly ascended expert of the emperor realm,” he declared, his tone firm. “Excluding the sword imperial path, 2,000 paths have reached the second level of the emperor realm. Each of these second-level imperial paths can amplify combat power by 200 times.”
