Chapter 567: Chapter 347: Mid-stage Saint Realm, Tier Three Star Lord

HUMMM!

The Primordial Spirit Manifestation erupted in a brilliant golden and silver radiance.

It was the perfect fusion of the Time Law and Wish Power.

Nourished by a vast amount of Spiritual Power, the manifestation began to grow at a visible rate.

A subtle yet clear CRACK echoed from the depths of his sea of consciousness.

It was the sound of his Primordial Spirit’s structure being optimized and strengthened as it was washed over by higher-level energy.

The manifestation’s form grew taller and taller: 15,001 zhang, 15,002 zhang, 15,003 zhang...

Its solidity increased in tandem, and profound Law runes flowed across every inch of its skin.

The manifestation’s facial features grew clearer and more majestic.

The illusory stars orbiting it became more numerous and brilliant.

They faintly formed an even more complex cosmic Star Map.

This process continued, the torrent of Spiritual Power flowing without end.

Li Wen’s mind was completely immersed, guiding, absorbing, and refining the energy.

He could feel the very essence of his spirit undergoing a fundamental transformation.

Every breath felt as if he were inhaling and exhaling a Star River.

Every pulse in his sea of consciousness seemed to faintly resonate with some deep, underlying pulse of the universe.

「Twenty days.」

Twenty full days and nights passed.

When the last wisp of pure Spiritual Power was fully absorbed, the transformation within his sea of consciousness was finally complete.

The towering Primordial Spirit Manifestation stood silently in the center of his vast sea of consciousness, its height having reached an astonishing 19,900 zhang!

He was now only a final 100 zhang away from the 20,000-zhang height of a Tier Two Star Lord’s Primordial Spirit Manifestation.

"Haaa..." Seated cross-legged in the meditation chamber, Li Wen slowly opened his eyes. A flash of gold and silver light, as deep as a starry sky, flickered in his pupils before vanishing.

He gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, a helpless, wry smile appearing on his face as he shook his head.

"To think I’m still just a little bit short," he muttered to himself, his voice carrying a slight echo.

He had originally harbored a sliver of hope that he could seize this opportunity to push his Primordial Spirit Manifestation to 20,000 zhang in one go, officially stepping into the Tier Two Star Lord Realm.

He hadn’t expected to fall just short, which once again made him appreciate just how difficult it was to advance each tier in the Star Lord Realm.

That final 100 zhang required not just a quantitative accumulation, but a qualitative leap.

However, this trace of helplessness lasted for only an instant.

’As long as I can keep publishing papers to gain Scholar Experience Points, this won’t be an issue.’ Li Wen’s gaze grew firm once more.

The promotional channels in the Lain Empire were already open. He just needed to continuously produce high-quality academic work, and his experience points would keep growing.

After completing the upgrade, Li Wen didn’t linger.

He took a moment to regulate his breath, completely calming the immense Spiritual Power fluctuations from his advancement, and then rose to his feet again.

The most direct benefit of raising his Scholar level to Lv. 22 was another enhancement to his core skill, [Absolute Focus]!

His comprehension bonus had reached a staggering 220%!

This was the perfect time to comprehend the Time Law.

He left Villa B-11 and headed to the Time Tower to cultivate.

Soon, Li Wen’s figure appeared in the grand plaza of the Time Tower.

As usual, the plaza was not crowded.

Most of the geniuses who came to the Time Tower to cultivate made reservations in advance.

But Li Wen’s arrival still instantly drew everyone’s attention.

"Look, it’s the ’God of Slaughter,’ Li Wen!"

"His aura seems even more restrained... more terrifying..."

Hushed whispers and awestruck gazes converged on him.

The few people in the plaza all hurried to nod at Li Wen, their faces showing undisguised respect.

Li Wen was long accustomed to this. His expression was calm, without a hint of arrogance, and he simply gave a slight nod.

He returned their gestures of goodwill with a gentle smile before turning his gaze to the closed main doors of the Time Tower.

After waiting outside the tower for a short while, his reservation time arrived, and the heavy, ancient doors of the Time Tower slid open silently.

Li Wen stepped inside, and the doors swiftly closed behind him, sealing off the outside world.

The familiar, isolated space appeared before him once again.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Li Wen immediately gave the command, "Star Pivot, connect to the Time Tower. Time flow, 200 times!"

After confirming the command had taken effect, the familiar sensation of time warping enveloped him once more.

Li Wen sat down cross-legged, and with a single thought, activated [Absolute Focus]!

A 220% comprehension bonus!

In that instant, Li Wen felt as if his mind had been washed in the clearest springs of the cosmos, becoming unprecedentedly transparent, clear, and sharp.

The traces of the Time Law in his surroundings, which were already quite distinct, now underwent a radical transformation in his eyes.

They were no longer blurry threads or fragmented streams of light.

Instead, they were clearly visible, intersecting "rivers" that flowed with endless profundity.

The flow rate of time, subtle deviations in its direction, fluctuations at its nodes, the principles of converting between stasis and acceleration...

All the details that had previously required immense effort to ponder and deduce were now incredibly intuitive.

’So that’s how it is!’ A wave of immense joy washed over Li Wen.

He immediately immersed himself, his mind completely dedicated to comprehending the Time Law.

Under the enhancement of his 220% comprehension, many of the bottlenecks that had previously stumped him were now easily resolved.

He instantly captured, understood, and absorbed many subtle variations of the Law.

Time flew by at 200 times the normal rate.

After an unknown amount of time, the Dao Seed in Li Wen’s sea of consciousness, which represented the origin of the Time Law, suddenly erupted in an unprecedentedly brilliant silver light.

VMMMM—!

A temporal fluctuation even more profound than before radiated from his body, instantly filling the entire cultivation chamber.
