High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1718 - 748: The Three Major Levels

Chapter 1718: Chapter 748: The Three Major Levels

“Limit of the First Stage of the Eternal Heart?” Li Yuan wondered.

“Yes.”

“The Star God Cultivation System, known as the most powerful cultivation system, means that the willpower of the Divine Kings generally reaches the level of the ’Eternal Heart,’” Jin Yuan explained. “But for other cultivation systems or some Star Beast Emperors, their willpower may not transform upon reaching the Eighth Rank.”

Li Yuan nodded unconsciously.

Indeed, within the Immortal Heaven and Earth, many low Rank Quasi-Saints can persist for hundreds of millions of years due to their strong willpower.

However, many Eighth Rank Cultivators who haven’t broken the Path, even if their true self is entrusted to the Inner Universe Space-Time at the Emperor Realm, still struggle to survive for over a billion years in the Eternal Relics.

The main reason is insufficient willpower.

Only with the willpower reaching the level of the Eternal Heart can one retain their consciousness and clarity in the face of the erosion of endless years.

“The Eternal Heart is also divided into levels,” Jin Yuan said. “Like the Divine Kings, those at the Emperor Realm, and even the Supremes, their willpower all belong to the ’Eternal Heart,’ but can they be the same? The terrifying willpower of a Supreme can destroy countless low Rank Quasi-Saints with just a glance.”

Li Yuan realized, indeed so.

As for himself, his willpower alone is far stronger than when he first ascended Purple Mountain, yet still falls under the category of the ’Eternal Heart.’

“Please guide me, senior,” Li Yuan respectfully said.

“The Eternal Heart can be divided into three major levels,” Jin Yuan smiled, seemingly satisfied with Li Yuan’s attitude. “They are Unity of Will, Immortal Heart, and Heart Transformation of Ten Thousand Universes.”

Three major levels? Li Yuan silently committed them to memory.

“Like countless low Rank Quasi-Saints and even most ordinary Emperor Realms belong to the First Stage, ’Unity of Will,’” Jin Yuan said. “This stage emphasizes one’s obsession, merging heart and action as one, making it difficult for external temptations and illusionary realm tactics to sway their mind and spirit.”

“It is precisely this powerful willpower that allows them to resist the erosion of time,” Jin Yuan said solemnly.

Li Yuan pondered.

According to Jin Yuan’s meaning, his willpower has now reached the peak level of ’Unity of Will’? In other words, his willpower is already not inferior to most ordinary Emperor Realms?

Li Yuan was not surprised by this.

The development of the Heart Device Dao, the deduction of the soul origin, and his changed understanding of the Void Realm and material world have naturally led to a transformation of his willpower.

“What about the Immortal Heart?” Li Yuan asked.

“This level typically requires the Emperor Peak to have hope of reaching,” Jin Yuan said. “Of course, there are many ordinary Emperor Realms whose willpower cultivates very strongly and also reach this level… and some Dominators have never grasped this, remaining at the Unity of Will stage.”

Li Yuan was not surprised by this.

Discussing the strength of the soul origin, the Dominator is certainly stronger, but the will can be more mysterious… weaker in power, the will can still be strong.

“For Cultivators, Unity of Will, the will is like a god, relying on that strong inner obsession,” Jin Yuan said. “But can that obsession truly sustain eternally? True eternity is not being bound by obsession.”

“Abandon obsession?” Li Yuan frowned.

Whether it’s strong cultivation or mundane efforts, everyone has desires, something to pursue… without desires, how can great achievements be made?

Even those with so-called great virtues are often burdened by fame.

Fame in itself is a desire.

And like Li Yuan, he yearns to reach the peak of cultivation, to protect the Seven Star Civilization, Chaos Divine Court, and hopes his soul can shelter close friends and family within the Inner Universe forever…

It is precisely because of these desires that he can advance so rapidly.

“No!”

Jin Yuan shook his head and said, “According to the master’s words, the so-called Immortal Heart is not abandoning obsession, but breaking free from it, understanding the obsession itself, not being trapped by it.”

“Nothing is given up, but everything can be let go.”

“Only in this way can the will be immortal through the endless passage of time,” Jin Yuan said solemnly.

Li Yuan was stunned upon hearing this.

Nothing is given up, yet everything can be let go, not being bound by obsession?

These words are easy to say, but understanding them is difficult to achieve… wanting to truly comprehend them, how tremendously hard that would be? In one word, let go.

How many people in this world can truly let go of their inner obsessions?

“Able to achieve Unity of Will and forge the Eternal Heart means the obsession is strong enough,” Li Yuan thought silently. “The stronger the obsession pursued throughout life, yet to be able to peacefully let go?”

After pondering for a while.

Li Yuan gently shook his head; for now, his willpower has not reached that level.

“And Heart Transformation of Ten Thousand Universes?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

“I don’t know.” Jin Yuan spread his palms. “Actually, the three major levels of the Eternal Heart were only accidentally discovered by the master… in terms of willpower, the master is only in the Second Stage and doesn’t know if he has reached the peak of that stage.”

“The Third Stage, ’Heart Transformation of Ten Thousand Universes,’ according to the master’s words, if truly reaching this level, willpower alone would be enough to rival the Supreme,” Jin Yuan said with emotion.

Li Yuan was shocked upon hearing this.

Willpower, ethereal and elusive… although strong willpower is greatly effective in resisting soul attacks, illusionary realm tactics, and similar Void Realm techniques.

Strong willpower also accelerates the deduction of the Eternal Dao.

Yet pure willpower itself holds no destructive power… the more intense the hatred in one’s heart, it cannot make the enemy die from hatred.

But according to Jin Yuan, reaching the Third Stage of the Eternal Heart seems to wield terrifying might.

“It’s all according to the master, but looking across the Vast Universe, not only now but even throughout endless ages of the cosmos, those who reach the Third Stage should be extremely rare,” Jin Yuan shook his head. “Back to the present.”

“Heart Origin.”

“With your current willpower and soul origin, you should be able to penetrate many Soul Pillars and also endure more willpower tempering… but still cannot pass through all 136 Soul Pillars,” Jin Yuan looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan nodded; his willpower now can only be considered at the normal level within the Emperor Realm.

Failing the trial is normal.

But at least, he can explore more Soul Pillars now, perhaps through constant willpower tempering, his willpower might transform again?

“Now, you should be completely free of the danger of losing oneself,” Jin Yuan said. “You can leave one of your true bodies here to temper slowly… apart from the Ancient Universe, let your other true body leave with your other treasures.”

“Leave?” Li Yuan was surprised. “Weren’t you saying I couldn’t go before?”

Previously, Jin Yuan didn’t have this attitude.

“According to the master’s rules, both of your true bodies indeed cannot leave,” Jin Yuan smiled. “But the master has passed away, and there are things in this Immortal Heaven and Earth that are more important than the rules left by him, I have no choice but to let you go.”

Li Yuan was shocked internally.

More important than the rules left in the Supreme Hall by the Supreme Hong Ying?

“Immortal Divine Hall?” Little Tomb realized instantly, the most powerful force in this Immortal Heaven and Earth was never the Supreme Star City.

It was the Immortal Divine Hall.

“Um.”

“The Immortal Divine Hall wants to see you, they’ve been waiting outside the Star City for some time, they’ve communicated with me through special permissions, requiring me to let one of your true bodies go,” Jin Yuan said. “The entire Star City is already trapped by the Immortal Sky Pillar… I can’t refuse.”

“Go ahead.”

Li Yuan and Little Tomb exchanged glances. The Immortal Divine Hall sought him?

“It shouldn’t be anything bad,” Little Tomb transmitted his thoughts. “Perhaps your potential is so great that they want to cultivate you, to my knowledge, many peerless geniuses have received similar treatment.” .
