It should be known that the fastest record for breaking through to the Chaos Emperor realm in all the heavens and myriad realms is more than two million years. One million years is far too short. If Yi Shuihan can break through in one million years, he will be the fastest person in the history of all the heavens and myriad realms to break through to the Chaos Emperor realm.
Of course, the shortest breakthrough speed of three million years here refers to the first breakthrough. There are also some special cases where it only takes a few hundred thousand years to break through to the Chaos Emperor level.
These special cases refer to the reincarnation and rebirth of a Chaos Emperor or a Great Dao Emperor under certain special circumstances.
Even the Chaos Emperor and the Great Dao Emperor are not immortal. After all, they are not just people who die in battle or are reincarnated through special secret techniques. However, once reincarnated, even if they were once the Chaos Emperor and the Great Dao Emperor, it is extremely difficult for them to regain their previous cultivation level. They may not even be able to awaken their memories.
Once one reaches the level of a Chaos Emperor, if forced to reincarnate, the only way to awaken their memories is to cultivate again to the level of a True Saint, after which they can make rapid progress.
Don't underestimate a True Saint. There are very few people in the myriad worlds who can achieve the status of a True Saint. It takes countless worlds to produce just one. And if you ask that a True Saint is achieved over hundreds of thousands of years, the probability becomes even lower.
"Six months have passed just like that. There are still six months before the reunion. However, we can no longer simply cultivate like this. We need to make use of the school's facilities. The power of the boundary cannot be improved in a short time. Instead of using this time, we should go to the Enlightenment Pavilion to comprehend the Dao. If we can break through to the sixth level of the Tower of Babel, our strength can be greatly improved."
Having boundaries means being capricious. You should know that the Enlightenment Pavilion is a high-end place, and those who are not wealthy basically dare not go there. After all, the boundaries that ordinary students control are only around double digits, as can be seen from Wordsworth.
The two-digit threshold means you can stay in the Enlightenment Pavilion for a few decades, which is not very useful. Generally speaking, if you want to break through from the 5th floor to the 6th floor of the Tower of Babel in the Enlightenment Pavilion, it is impossible without staying for more than a thousand years.
Yi Shuihan has nearly ten thousand boundary points, so he's not worried for now. He'll definitely have enough to break through to the sixth floor of the Tower of Babel, and there's even a slight chance he can reach the seventh floor. This is the advantage of having a powerful backer. If he weren't part of the company, it would have taken him countless millennia to earn those ten thousand boundary points.
The Wudao Pavilion 6-month package only cost 0.6 boundary points. Yi Shuihan said that less than one boundary point is hardly a boundary point. Let alone 0.6 boundary points, he estimated that he could spend 60 boundary points without batting an eye.
In the blink of an eye, time had passed. Six months had passed, and Yi Shuihan had not yet broken through to the sixth level of the Tower of Babel. He had only improved by a tiny bit, probably less than one percent. However, Yi Shuihan was still very satisfied. At this rate, he would be able to break through to the sixth level of the Tower of Babel in a few decades, no doubt about it.
Progress is certainly a good thing. After all, sometimes when you get stuck, going to the Enlightenment Pavilion won't help. Forcing yourself to stay there will only waste time.
......
"Brother Yi, you've arrived. Look at my achievements this year. I've already recruited half of the students in the class into our ranks. Before long, we'll all be in the same gang. I've also recruited quite a few members from other classes. Now I declare that the Batian Gang is a large gang with over a hundred members."
Ba Tianhun boasted to Yi Shuihan as always, completely forgetting that Yi Shuihan had decisively rejected him a year ago.
"You only accomplished this in a year?"
Yi Shuihan found it somewhat unbelievable; this Ba Tianhun was truly beyond redemption.
"Of course not. I also investigated a lot of first-hand information. Look, this is full of valuable information! With this, we can avoid many detours in our future development."
The magician produced several small notebooks. Yi Shuihan looked closely and saw that the covers of the notebooks were titled "The Most Beautiful Women in All-World Universities," "The Top Ten People You Shouldn't Mess With in School," "A Collection of Things You Absolutely Shouldn't Do in School," and "How to Become a Gang Leader," etc.
"How about that? I'm amazing, aren't I! My goal is to become the school's all-knowing expert within a hundred years."
Ba Tianhun seemed to want to show off his greatness, but Yi Shuihan didn't intend to continue the conversation. If they continued, he would be unable to resist beating Ba Tianhun.
Fortunately, Wordsworth arrived quickly, and business finally began.
"There are more than 3000 new students enrolled this year, in 99 classes. This joint entry into the new secret realm will be competitive, divided into class competition and individual competition. Two lists will be generated: a class list and an individual list. Only the top ten in the class list will receive a reward, while only the top one hundred in the individual list will receive a reward."
"These rewards are reserved for true geniuses. Most of you shouldn't even think about it. Without the strength to reach the fourth level of the Tower of Babel, it's all in vain. In our class, only Yi Shuihan, Ba Tianhun, and Lu can give it a shot."
"To be honest, the better you perform, the more benefits I will receive. However, I still hope that you will act within your capabilities. Exploring this secret realm is also dangerous. Even if you don't get a good ranking, I hope that you can come out intact."
The students at the school are not safe and sound. Exploring the secret realm is the number one cause of student death. Many students perish every time they explore the secret realm. This is why the school's student body is kept at around ten million. More than half of the new students will die in the secret realm.
The secret realm contains great treasures, but these treasures cannot be taken at will. The greater the treasure, the greater the danger. If one cannot examine oneself and understand one's own limitations, one will eventually be killed by one's own greed.
The Multiverse United High School is a school that cultivates the strong, but becoming a strong person often requires stepping over countless corpses, and death is as commonplace here.
Chapter 1261, The Mysterious Platform
The entrance to the secret realm is very large. Almost all the new students enter the secret realm at the same time, but they are separated after entering.
Three thousand people is far too small for a secret realm; even if the number were increased tenfold to thirty thousand, it would still be the same.
"This is what they call a secret realm? It is indeed quite peculiar."
Standing on a patch of grass, Yi Shuihan curiously surveyed his surroundings, discovering that beneath its ordinary appearance lay countless secrets.
The grass was not ordinary grass, but grass composed of chaotic energy; the land was not ordinary land, but chaotic soil.
He reached out and stepped on a blade of grass. After the grass left the ground, it turned into a cloud of chaotic energy, then drifted back to the ground, merged with the ground, and transformed into a new blade of grass.
The soil on the earth is the same; once it leaves the ground, it quickly transforms into chaotic energy and returns to the earth.
"In that case, it seems we can't take these things with us, so let's look for things we can take with us."
Choosing a direction at random, Yi Shuihan stepped forward. Why walk instead of fly? Because flying was not allowed in this secret realm. As soon as Yi Shuihan entered, he discovered that this secret realm had many restrictions. Even with his True Saint body, he could not take to the air in this secret realm. Even the power of his Chaos Body could only create a pit a few meters deep on the ground at most.
It's not that his physical strength is gone; his body still possesses the protective power of the Chaos Body. It's just that the power he unleashes will be weakened countless times in an instant.
This secret realm seems to be filled with a rule called weakening, which does not allow for the emergence of overly powerful forces.
"The power of the Dao is the least affected. It seems that the deeper one's understanding of the Dao, the greater the advantage. However, since we are all new students, I am not afraid that anyone can surpass me in this aspect."
Using the power of the Dao, Yi Shuihan felt that he could barely destroy a hundred-meter-tall mountain, which was indeed the most powerful in comparison.
Traveling at roughly the speed of a sports car, it took Yi Shuihan a good half hour to leave the initial grassland and arrive at the edge of a forest.
"It's really strange. We haven't seen a single living creature in all this time, and the forest in front of us feels completely desolate."
Standing before the forest, Yi Shuihan looked into the distance and found that the forest was faintly shrouded in a thick fog. With his eyesight, he could only see a few hundred meters away, and apart from the naked eye, no other means were effective here.
The forest gave Yi Shuihan a very bad feeling; whether or not to go in was a question.
"Should we change direction? Or go straight in?"
After hesitating for more than ten seconds, Yi Shuihan finally decided to enter the forest. Although there might be dangers in the forest, the greater the danger, the greater the possibility of finding treasures. The probability of finding treasures in safe places is much smaller. Besides, what if other places were even more dangerous?
Upon entering the forest, all sounds around him vanished. While one could faintly hear the wind on the grassland, Yi Shuihan couldn't even hear his own footsteps in the forest, as if some force had isolated everything.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding trees remained monotonous, as if they had entered a maze, the tranquility almost unsettling.
Yi Shuihan's mindset is naturally worry-free for a short time, but if this continues, he will be affected to some extent. The most important thing is to worry about what else might happen.
Many True Saints have died in the secret realm, so Yi Shuihan naturally dared not underestimate it, especially since this secret realm was newly discovered and its threat level had not yet been explored, so he needed to be even more careful.
After traveling for more than a month, Yi Shuihan finally saw a different place: a huge platform that looked completely natural.
On the platform, there are dozens of stone sculptures, none of which belong to any race that Yi Shuihan recognizes, and they all look very unfamiliar.
"Come on up! Come on up and you'll get what you want."
A confusing voice suddenly reached Yi Shuihan's heart.
Yi Shuihan's eyes were momentarily dazed, and he was about to step onto the platform. However, just before his foot was about to enter the platform's area, he suddenly snapped back to his senses, pulled his foot back, and looked at the platform with a gaze full of apprehension.
"That was close, we almost fell for it."
When Yi Shuihan heard that voice just now, he felt as if he had a mission to step onto the platform. As long as he stepped onto the platform, his life would be worthwhile, as if he was born for this moment.
Fortunately, Yi Shuihan reacted at the crucial moment, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He hadn't noticed anything when he looked at the stone sculptures before, but now that he looked closely, he saw that each of them exuded an astonishing aura, no less powerful than a True Saint. Moreover, the aura of all the stone sculptures was connected as one, spreading outward with strange fluctuations.
Before seeing the platform, Yi Shuihan had already spent a month wandering through the maze-like forest. The special environment shielded him from everything, making him subconsciously want to see other things. That's why he relaxed for a moment when he saw the platform, and was subsequently bewildered.
If Yi Shuihan hadn't regained his senses at the crucial moment and had stepped onto the platform, some things he didn't want to see would definitely have happened afterward. However, now that he's awake, even though the platform is dangerous, Yi Shuihan isn't without a solution.
"Let me test the waters a little."
The test wouldn't be done by him; Yi Shuihan simply found a few villains in his personal world and threw them onto the platform.
Before the villains could even react, they were instantly weathered and turned to dust upon entering the platform's area. The dust settled on the platform and slowly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
"It seems that a few are simply not enough!"
Unable to discern the underlying mechanism, Yi Shuihan continued his experiment, this time throwing various species onto the platform. The outcome was the same as before: they all became nourishment for the platform.
"What exactly is this power—time, devouring, or something else?"
Tens of thousands of lives were lost, yet not a single ripple was made. Yi Shuihan temporarily halted his experiment and fell into deep thought.
"In that case, let someone tell me for themselves what it feels like."
This time, the person Yi Shuihan found from his personal world was someone who cultivated with clones. Yi Shuihan directly brought both his clone and his main body over. He threw the clone in, while leaving his main body outside.
As the clones split, the main body also screamed in agony. However, to Yi Shuihan's surprise, the main body only suffered some injuries from the destruction of the clones and was affected by more serious consequences.
Chapter 1262, Chaotic Spiritual Treasure
How did you feel just now?
Yi Shuihan asked the person he had just grabbed, but he was stunned after asking because he couldn't even hear what he was saying.
I repeated it using telepathy, but the result was the same.
"Does that mean we should use the most primitive form of writing? That's right, there's also the power of Tao."
After some trial and error, Yi Shuihan finally managed to create a communication channel, which was entirely composed of laws and was very sophisticated. Although using laws to do this kind of thing was indeed a bit of a waste of talent, it was still more classy than communicating with words.
Once communication was established, things became simple. The captured person naturally dared not resist Yi Shuihan and honestly described his feelings to him.
The person who was finally captured left with a joyful expression. Yi Shuihan had given him some benefits, so losing a clone was nothing compared to that.
"Based on what he said, it's highly likely that time is at play here, but I still need to experience it for myself."
After a moment's hesitation, Yi Shuihan sent a clone into the area. He knew he couldn't catch a wolf without risking his cub. If something went wrong, Yi Shuihan was confident he could handle it. After all, this was the All-Worlds United High School. If they couldn't even solve the problem using the methods of a secret realm, then something was truly amiss. Besides, Yi Shuihan still had the system as his ultimate weapon.
Although the system is not used as frequently as it was at the beginning, that does not mean that the system is unimportant. On the contrary, the system is very powerful. With Yi Shuihan's current strength and all his methods, dealing with a newly entered Chaos Emperor is not a problem. If he adds the system, Yi Shuihan even feels that he can escape from the hands of any Chaos Emperor. Even if he encounters a Great Dao Emperor, he will not be without a chance to escape.
Of course, this might be somewhat exaggerated, since Yi Shuihan doesn't know how strong the real powerhouses among the Chaos Emperors are, let alone understand the level of the Great Dao Emperor.
With all these conditions combined, Yi Shuihan had the confidence to try it himself, and even if there were still risks, they were within Yi Shuihan's acceptable range.
"This is going too far! They actually made me do this kind of thing."
The clone, upon emerging, immediately recognized its predicament and complained to Yi Shuihan, making Yi Shuihan somewhat embarrassed.
"Fine, since we're using a sharing model this time, you'll have to experience it too. It's like sharing the good times and the bad, so I have nothing to say."
Before Yi Shuihan could speak, the clone continued.
Although the clone and the original are one person, the original can only devote a sliver of his mind to the clone, and can block the connection between the two if necessary. However, the purpose of bringing out the clone this time does not allow him to do so. He needs to focus most of his mind on the clone in order to empathize with it and bear the pain that the clone suffers.
Without further ado, the clone immediately stepped into the platform area. However, unlike before when the clone directly entered, the situation did not occur.
As a True Saint, one can be said to have an infinite lifespan. As long as one has a good mindset, one can live forever. Most True Saints die because of battle, and some die because they have lived for too long and no longer want to live, thus going crazy and courting death.
However, even the most mysterious law of time is not powerless against a true saint. Time can be forward or reversed. If a true saint is reversed, then even a true saint will die. However, this operation is extremely difficult. At least with Yi Shuihan's current level, he cannot do this.
Getting back to the main point, the power on this platform is somewhat different. In Yi Shuihan's perception, his clone is bound by a mysterious power that is constantly eroding his body.
"One hundred breaths. If the clone does not leave within one hundred breaths, it will turn to ashes."
The idea came so suddenly, yet Yi Shuihan believed it without a doubt.
"That's really impressive. Even a True Saint like me can only last a hundred breaths. So, what about the other new students? They'll only last a few breaths, or maybe they'll be like those I threw in before."
Yi Shuihan considered himself the strongest among the freshmen, after all, he had the Chaos Body, which made him more than a hundred times better than ordinary freshmen. Moreover, even without the Chaos Body, he would still be far ahead on the fifth floor of the Tower of Babel. Therefore, his judgment was not far off, even if it was not entirely accurate.
The clone could last for a hundred breaths, so the main body could naturally last even longer. However, even so, Yi Shuihan was still a little scared. This platform really had the ability to do something to him. If the bewitching power had been stronger, he might have really been defeated here.
A hundred breaths is nothing to an ordinary person, but it is a long time for Yi Shuihan, enough for him to do many things.
The clone walked up to a stone sculpture and tried to destroy it, but the sculpture did not shatter despite the punch it threw.
"It's quite tough, but it's not entirely hopeless."
This time, Yi Shuihan directly used part of the power of his personal world to enhance it, and the stone carving shattered with a crack.
After the stone sculpture shattered, it turned into a cloud of dust that scattered across the platform, just like the scene of the people who had appeared on the platform before.
Seeing this scene, Yi Shuihan seemed to be deep in thought, and then continued to sabotage the great cause. In less than 20 breaths, there were no more stone carvings on the platform, only Yi Shuihan remained on the platform.
"What should we do next? I came here to get benefits, but destroying the stone carving is of no use at all."
Just as Yi Shuihan was pondering his next move, the platform suddenly began to shake violently, with a series of cracking sounds.
At the very center of the platform, a stone tablet slowly rose up.
The moment the stone tablet appeared, Yi Shuihan felt the strange power acting on his clone vanish instantly, meaning the clone could stay on the platform for as long as it wanted.
Upon reaching the stone tablet, Yi Shuihan saw what was on it: characters, characters manifested through rules.
"The time for harvest has finally come. It turns out that this is a treasure, a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and a mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure at that. The previous process was its selection of a master. Only the one who can destroy all the stone carvings within the specified time is qualified to gain its recognition."
Chaotic Spiritual Treasures are of a higher level than Innate Spiritual Treasures, surpassing even Innate Supreme Treasures. Innate Treasures only enhance the combat power of True Saints, but cannot be used to kill other True Saints. Powerful Innate Supreme Treasures can at most allow a True Saint to fight against several opponents without being at a disadvantage, or at most suppress the opponent. Chaotic Spiritual Treasures are completely different. With a Chaotic Spiritual Treasure, a True Saint has the power to kill another True Saint.
A low-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure is worth at least 10 Boundary Points, while a mid-grade one is worth at least 100 Boundary Points, demonstrating the rarity and value of Chaos Spiritual Treasures.
Chapter 1263, Black Sheep, Black Grass, and the Big Tree
"Even if we only get this treasure, this trip will still be worthwhile."
Knowing the whole story, Yi Shuihan was naturally very happy. To be honest, he didn't have a single Chaos Spiritual Treasure yet! Low-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures weren't very useful to Yi Shuihan, but this mid-grade one was different. With it as an aid in battle, Yi Shuihan's offensive power increased by more than one level. The Chaos Body was ultimately more defensive, and this spiritual treasure made up for Yi Shuihan's offensive capabilities.
Following the instructions on the stone tablet, Yi Shuihan began the refining process.
Refining a Chaos Spiritual Treasure is an extremely complicated process, but Yi Shuihan passed the test, and with the Chaos Spiritual Treasure's own assistance, it was naturally very easy for him.
