Prime Originator

Within the mesosphere layer, Leon continued to refine Spatial Energy and Temporal Energy into Great pseudo-Grandmist Energy.

Compared to cultivating on the surface, Leon's Spatial Energy and Temporal Energy's gathering speed in the sky was many folds greater.

In fact, the difference was so significant; it was like the difference between heaven and earth, literally.

Even so, no matter how much greater Leon's gathering speed was within the mesosphere layer, there was still a limit.

This limit is set by the rate Leon expended his Mental Energy to gather Spatial Energy and Temporal Energy with Divine Will.

After all, Temporal Energy and Spatial Energy were types of energies from Great Laws that did not exist in tangible forms.

They cannot be gathered through breathing techniques like the Primary Laws.

Leon also realized this problem.

If he cannot solve this problem, he would not be able to cultivate in the sky continuously and be forced to return to the surface before his Mental Energy is depleted.

'But how can I gather Spatial Energy and Temporal Energy without using Divine Will?'

While he pondered this problem, he did not stop refining Great pseudo-Grandmist Energy before they were deposited into the central region of his Black Vortex Space.

His eyes suddenly flickered.

The Black Vortex Space was a subspace within his sea of consciousness with especially powerful Spatial Laws pertaining to Black Holes with traces of Nihility Law at its center.

If he could control its suction force and expand outside his body, not only would he be able to cultivate continuously, he would also be able to increase his cultivation speed further.

'But if I want to achieve this, I must learn how to control the Black Vortex Space… if I want to do that, I must further my comprehension of Spatial Laws and Nihility Laws.' Leon mused.

Spatial Laws should not be difficult to comprehend.

He had some foundation in Spatial Laws when he used to be in the Divine Origin Realm, even though he had only achieved such a cultivation base through the assistance of pills, and his foundation was not stable.

Nevertheless, some foundation was better than none.

The most important task he needed to do was to deepen his comprehension of the Nihility Law.

Without doing so, he will never be able to break through to the Transcendent Realm.

Leon felt a headache while thinking about this point.

Nevertheless, his gaze became decisive in the next moment before taking out a Soul Enhancing Pill and ingested it, boosting his Soul Strength by another 20 Soul Points.

It had been some time since he took one. It should be fine to take another one.

With the boost in Soul Strength, his Mental Energy Capacity also increased, allowing him to continue cultivating in the sky for a more extended period.

Shortly after, Leon resumed the refinement of Great pseudo-Grandmist Energy.

The Nihility Law was still out of reach for him unless he finds a source of nothingness to aid his comprehension.

'How can you sense something in nothingness when there is nothing to sense at all?' Leon mused wryly with a helpless expression.

Finding a source of nothingness that can be comprehended was just wishful thinking.

The systematic way to understand the Nihility Law was to follow the practice of the [Hegemon of Primal Chaos] and learn all the prerequisites laws first.

At this moment, he had gained comprehension of the Great Laws of Space and Time.

He was still missing the Profound Laws of Life and Death, and the Supreme Laws of Destruction and Creation.

While it seems like it was an impossibly long way before he comprehends any of these laws of a higher order, he was much closer than he thinks.

'If I continue to absorb law fragments from the Wrathful Demonic Energy, I might just be able to comprehend the Destruction Law. I don't need a great understanding of it. Even just a superficial understanding is enough…'

'The Profound Law of Life can be comprehended from the [Divine Book of Life]. As such, I am only missing a method to comprehend the Profound Law of Death and the Supreme Law of Creation, huh?'

Leon silently pondered.

Time slowly passed before a sizable quantity of Great pseudo-Grandmist Energy was refined and accumulated within Leon's Black Vortex Space.

Seeing the accumulated amount, Leon nodded, 'Time to patch up my first and foremost weakness.'

Shortly after, Leon reviewed the [Dragon God Consolidating Viscera Method].

Once he completely understood the steps of the first volume, he immediately put them into synchronized practice with the [Godfiend Body Forging Method].

Great pseudo-Grandmist Energy was transformed into countless needles before they drilled into his profound veins, his meridians, his heart, and the rest of his organs.

Waves of sharp and nerve-wracking pain assaulted Leon, but it was not like something he had never experienced before.

He gritted his teeth and endured the tempering process with veins protruding on his arms, legs, and face while sweats oozed from his pores.

At the same time, he felt his untempered viscera consolidating at an alarming rate after being tempered by Great pseudo-Grandmist for the first time.

First times always experience the most significant rate of improvement!

Within a matter of moments, the defensive strength of Leon's viscera soared to 10-thousand jin. However, this was only the beginning.

It was hardly anything compared to his fleshly defense of 500-thousand jin!

The ideal state is when his outer and inner body defense reached a delicate balance of equilibrium. Only when his body is well-rounded would he have no weaknesses!

From 10-thousand jin, the viscera's defensive strength began to soar to 20-thousand jin… 30-thousand jin… 40-thousand jin…

It was not long before Leon's viscera reached a defensive capability of withstanding 100-thousand jin worth of force!

'Not yet! This is far from enough! I still have plenty of refined Great pseudo-Grandmist Energy! Even if I run out, I will refine more and continue!' Leon gritted while his body was already drenched in sweats.

'I won't stop until I advance my strength by leaps and bounds!' Leon decided resolutely.

Before reaching Transcendence, Body Cultivation will be his primary source of strength!
