Chapter 1527: Instant Comprehension

Stepping on someone—there's no such thing as stepping on them like this!

After stepping on them, you have to run them over with a steamroller a few more times!

Zheng Jian felt that his worldview was about to collapse.

Since when did the state of selflessness become as common as cabbage?

Back when he was training to achieve a critical hit, he had brushed with death countless times, yet he had never once entered the state of selflessness.

But this guy had entered it three times!

Three times!

Entering the state of selflessness even once was an incredible stroke of luck.

This fellow had actually entered it three times!

And it seemed he was getting more and more adept at it!

This... was he even human?

Zheng Jian felt that he himself was nothing but a joke.

A joke that had traveled through time and space!

A genius?

In front of this guy, the word 'genius' was utterly ridiculous!

After a long while, Zheng Jian suddenly changed his demeanor. He was no longer arrogant or dismissive of everything, but like a wise man who had seen through the affairs of the world.

'It seems I was indeed a frog at the bottom of a well! Your talent is unparalleled in ancient and modern times! I have been submerged in the river of history, but you are destined to shine! Go!'

At this moment, Zheng Jian actually smiled.

That eternal deadpan face actually broke into a smile.

It was a relieved smile, as if he had understood something.

Then his figure gradually dissipated, turning into nothingness.

Ye Yuan's vision blurred, and he found himself back in the great hall.

The great hall had now changed its appearance; all the arenas had disappeared, making it seem much more spacious.

'Congratulations on successfully challenging the eighteen geniuses of the Purple Extreme Sect and becoming its successor! Your reward... is this great hall!' The old voice sounded again, surprising Ye Yuan greatly.

Hadn't it been agreed that there would be a reward for every three levels? How had it become this great hall?

Ye Yuan looked puzzled and said, 'This great hall—I can't move it away. What use is it to me?'

'Who said the great hall can't be moved? This hall itself is a space-flying true divine treasure. It can be large or small—large enough to become a magnificent palace, small enough to turn into a speck of dust. It can also travel billions of miles in a day, of course, provided you have enough divine essence stones!' A gaunt old man's phantom appeared and said.

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, 'That powerful?'

The old man snorted coldly, 'Powerful? That's an understatement! Back then, our Purple Extreme Sect poured the entire sect's resources into forging this true divine treasure to ensure the inheritance would last forever. This great hall contains extremely powerful killing formations. With enough divine essence stones, you can even kill true gods!'

It sounded... incredibly awesome!

Killing true gods—just thinking about it was exciting.

'Tsk, tsk, it seems I've found a treasure,' Ye Yuan said with some excitement.

The old man said, 'My time is running out. Now I will pass on the supreme technique of the Purple Extreme Sect. You must cultivate it well and bring glory to our sect!'

Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, 'A technique? No need. My current technique works just fine; I don't plan to switch.'

Are you kidding? A supreme technique?

Compared to the 'Chaos Heaven-Connecting True Scripture,' it was nothing!

The old man said angrily, 'You have received the inheritance of the Purple Extreme Sect; you must cultivate our supreme technique, or I will annihilate you!'

Ye Yuan's expression stiffened. Wasn't this old man being too unreasonable?

After a pause, the old man continued, 'Moreover, cultivating the 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra' is also to save yourself! There are three demon lords waiting outside. If you don't cultivate the 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra,' you won't be able to refine the Purple Extreme Hall. Once I fade away, the hall's formations will dissipate, and they will break in!'

Hearing this, Ye Yuan's heart tightened, and he immediately changed his tune: 'Then what are we waiting for? Bring it on!'

The old man smiled unhurriedly and said, 'The 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra' has six levels, allowing you to cultivate all the way to the ninth level of the True God realm, or even the half-step Heavenly Sovereign realm. It is the pinnacle among sixth-grade divine techniques! You only need to cultivate the first level to refine the Spirit Source Crystal. However, it will be very slow. Once you refine a portion, you can control the great formation and prevent those demon lords from entering.'

As he spoke, a milky-white crystal appeared before Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan said, 'So, the higher the level I cultivate in the 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra,' the faster I can refine the Spirit Source Crystal, right?'

The old man said, 'Yes, but the 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra' is profound and extensive. In a short time, you...'

Before the old man could finish, Ye Yuan interrupted, 'Then what are we waiting for? Give me the first three levels!'

The old man choked and said, 'Young man, greed leads to indigestion. You need a solid foundation, or else...'

Ye Yuan said impatiently, 'Senior, didn't you say time was limited? Can we hurry up?'

The old man choked again, but this time he still brought out the 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra,' though... only the first level's technique.

Countless divine inscriptions appeared before Ye Yuan's eyes, dazzling and confusing.

But Ye Yuan only glanced at them and said flatly, 'Where's the second level?'

The old man still said unhurriedly, 'Young man, you've only browsed it once, and you want to cultivate the second level? Don't aim too high!'

I... why does this old man have so much nonsense?

Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He began to circulate his energy according to the methods of the 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra.'

A brilliant purple light radiated from Ye Yuan's body, dazzling to the extreme—the hallmark of first-level mastery.

'You, you, you... have already reached mastery? Have you... cultivated the 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra' before? This... this is impossible!'

The gaunt old man had been unhurried all along, but now he was visibly moved, even stammering.

The old man knew all too well how powerful the 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra' was.

Even the most talented disciples of the past had needed a hundred years to master the first level.

As a Return to Void realm expert, Ye Yuan would naturally find it easier to relearn a technique, but it would still take at least two or three years to master the first level!

Yet, instant comprehension!

Ye Yuan said impatiently, 'Senior, time is urgent. Can we stop wasting time? Hurry up and show me the next two levels.'

Although Ye Yuan had the 'Chaos Heaven-Connecting True Scripture,' he could only cultivate the first three levels now.

As for the later levels, his realm was insufficient to understand them.

This time, the old man finally released the techniques for the next two levels.

After scanning them once, Ye Yuan went directly to the Spirit Source Crystal and began to refine it.

Watching Ye Yuan refine the Spirit Source Crystal using the third level of the 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra,' the gaunt old man was filled with shock.

What... what was going on?

He had heard of photographic memory, but never of instant mastery upon reading!

With just a glance, he had mastered the profound 'Purple Extreme Heart Sutra.' Was this guy a monster?

How had he done it?

'Haha, the heavens have not abandoned the Purple Extreme Sect! After endless ages, they have sent us such an incredible successor!' The old man's murky eyes suddenly brightened, and he burst into laughter.
