The seventh level of the Wuqi Tower was a world of icy coldness. Not far from Luo Feng, there was a mountain range of nearly transparent ice.
“The seventh level!”
Luo Feng’s heart brimmed with anticipation. “The Wuqi Tower has nine levels. The first eight levels are the obstacles. Only after passing the eighth level and entering the ninth level means summiting the Wuqi Tower and achieving success!”
The more he pondered, the more Luo Feng felt that there must be a great secret hidden within the ninth level of the Wuqi Tower.
“There are only two final challenges left.”
“The challenge of the seventh level and the ultimate challenge of the eighth level.” Luo Feng carefully scanned his surroundings, cautiously observing everything. Even with his formidable strength, he could not afford to be careless. The closer one gets to victory, the more cautious one must be.
Hua~~~
Ripples of spatial energy began to spread in the frigid high sky, and then a giant single eye gradually appeared.
“The Divine Eye?” Luo Feng was startled.
Previously, at the third level of the Wuqi Tower, he had faced a life-and-death crisis from this Divine Eye. Under its gaze, he had suffered powerful willpower assaults.
“Why does the seventh level also have the Divine Eye? Could it be another willpower assault?” Luo Feng wondered inwardly. “But the third level already involved a willpower assault. It can’t be the same, right?”
Weng~~~
The Divine Eye emitted a hazy golden light, enveloping everything below, including Luo Feng.
“Soldier Galaxy,” a voice aged and deep echoed directly in Luo Feng’s mind, “pass the trial of the Divine Eye, and you may enter the eighth level of the Wuqi Tower… the eighth level will be your final obstacle to summiting the Wuqi Tower.”
As the aged voice faded away.
Boom!!!
The hazy golden light in the high sky suddenly erupted with a powerful willpower assault, causing Luo Feng’s expression to change slightly. It was indeed a willpower assault, and its intensity immediately reached the level of the willpower assault at the end of the third level of the Wuqi Tower.
“Willpower?” Luo Feng looked up at the Divine Eye but remained still, directly enduring the assault.
The assaults of willpower were formless and intangible, impossible to evade; one could only endure them directly.
It was a battle of willpower against willpower!
“Why is the seventh level still a willpower assault?” Luo Feng’s mind briefly questioned, but he quickly pushed the thought aside and focused all his energy on resisting the willpower assault.
…
In front of the viewing screen, four commanders watched the scene unfold.
“Soldier Galaxy’s willpower should be extremely strong. It should not be difficult for him to pass the seventh level,” said the burly commander with a deep voice. “But I wonder how much of the ‘Divine Eye Secret Art’ he will be able to learn.”
“The Divine Eye Secret Art was created by the God-King,” said the Heiwu commander. “It is a special offensive technique. In our Jin World, only those who have been specially enfeoffed, made significant contributions, or shown great potential are granted this art. And even then, they are only given parts of the Divine Eye Secret Art.”
“Yes, in the Wuqi Tower, six soldiers have reached the seventh level. Five of them failed, and only one succeeded in entering the eighth level. Among these six… the weakest didn’t even fully learn the first volume of the Divine Eye Secret Art, while the highest learned only three volumes.”
“I wonder how many volumes Soldier Galaxy will learn!”
…
At this moment, Luo Feng was unaware of this. He was fully focused on resisting the willpower assault. He occasionally looked up at the Divine Eye in the sky and then at the rows of nearly transparent icy mountains around him.
“Am I just supposed to resist this willpower assault?” Luo Feng thought inwardly. “I wonder what the ultimate limit of the Divine Eye’s power is.”
Although his willpower was strong, it still had limits.
If the Divine Eye’s attack exceeded his capacity, he might fall unconscious and be expelled.
“Even so, this is also an opportunity to hone my willpower.”
“The Wuqi Tower has nine levels and eight obstacles. I don’t believe the seventh level can stop me.” Luo Feng continued to resist.
The hazy golden light enveloped everything below, making Luo Feng appear as if he were covered in golden sand.
The willpower assault grew stronger, soon reaching the level of a true god’s limit. However, this level posed no threat to Luo Feng.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng suddenly noticed something in the distance from the corner of his eye.
“That’s!”
Luo Feng quickly turned his head to look.
Inside the nearly transparent icy mountain in the distance, ancient characters began to appear, all in the script of the ancient civilization. The dense characters nearly filled the entire icy mountain.
At the top of the text was a line meaning—Divine Eye Secret Art, Volume One!
Below it were detailed contents.
“Divine Eye Secret Art?” Luo Feng immediately felt immense joy upon reading the top line.
“Haha, it’s true that rewards began from the fourth level. Although it’s also a challenge, there are rewards. This seventh level directly rewards a secret art!” Luo Feng was thrilled.
Secret arts differ from secret techniques.
Secret techniques at the level of a Cosmic Sovereign are meaningless to a Cosmic Lord. The stronger one becomes, the more one must create techniques suited to oneself. Lower-level techniques become irrelevant.
But secret arts are different.
Techniques like “Severance,” “Donghua,” and “Undying River” are secret arts. Secret arts are useful to the weak and still valuable to super-powerful beings. A powerful secret art can significantly boost one’s strength. For instance, “Undying River” provides a second chance at recovery, making it an invaluable treasure in the ancient civilization.
Luo Feng obtained the complete “Severance,” but due to the influence of the original primal will, he could only see the first three volumes.
However, once he reaches the level of a Void True God in the future, he will naturally be able to see the later parts of “Severance.” At the Cosmic Lord and True God stages, “Severance” surpasses many other god-force-consuming techniques, and its advantages will only grow further. One step ahead leads to continuous advantages, and the further one goes, the more precious it becomes.
Even in the Jin World, only the first few levels of god-force-consuming secret techniques are widely circulated.
…
“What a secret art!” Luo Feng was overjoyed. “I wonder what kind of secret art it is, and whether my Donghe Clan has it!”
After all, the Donghe Clan was just a single lineage, with only one inheritor per generation.
The God-King, who built a superpower, might possess something the Donghe Clan does not.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng quickly focused on reading it, as for the willpower assault?
At this moment, the willpower assault was only at the level of a true god’s limit, which had no effect on Luo Feng.
“The Divine Eye Secret Art is a technique that utilizes willpower!” Luo Feng glanced at it and was immediately delighted.
A great gain!
A great opportunity!
With the inheritance of the Donghe Clan and his understanding of the ancient civilization, he naturally understood the importance of the Divine Eye Secret Art.
The Divine Eye Secret Art is a technique that utilizes willpower!
Perhaps the third generation ancestor of the Donghe Clan could create three or four volumes, but if the ancestor was not skilled in this area, the created secret art would not reach a high level. For a major power or lineage, having only the first few volumes is meaningless.
Only a complete series, reaching the peak and surpassing the ancient civilization, is something to be proud of.
Works like “Severance,” “Donghua,” and “Undying River” are all complete series.
“Willpower…”
“All strong individuals possess willpower, which varies in intensity!”
“The weak perish and fade away completely.”
“But for the strong, even after death, their willpower endures. Even a single drop of blood or a single scale from their body carries immense willpower pressure and impact.”
“When a strong warrior is alive… during battle, willpower clashes against willpower. A warrior with superior willpower can disrupt their opponent’s mind, seizing the advantage even before the fight begins. If the disparity in willpower is immense… natural willpower assaults can render the opponent unconscious, leaving them utterly defenseless.” Luo Feng glanced at the opening passage of the “Divine Eye Secret Art, Volume One” and nodded in agreement.
In fact, for the strong,
Take blood-based life forms as an example. There is a distinction between soul, consciousness, and willpower!
When the soul perishes, one dies completely.
Consciousness is rooted in the soul. Generally, the more powerful the soul, the stronger the consciousness; conversely, the weaker the soul, the feebler the consciousness! When two powerhouses clash—for instance, a True God versus a Cosmic Sovereign—the disparity in their consciousness is so immense that the sheer pressure alone can obliterate the opponent’s soul, resulting in instant annihilation!
But willpower is different.
Willpower is transcendent.
Even if the soul and consciousness are weak, as long as the heart is strong and the mind is powerful, one can still possess extremely strong willpower! Superb willpower!
When one is weak, willpower isn’t very useful. Generally, it’s only used to resist “illusions” and to maintain one’s core self, etc. Once one dies, the willpower naturally dissipates, having little offensive utility.
However—
When one reaches the level of a True God, Void True God, or even higher, willpower becomes increasingly important.
Even after a supreme powerhouse perishes, their willpower may not vanish! Like the drop of ‘divine blood’ Luo Feng obtained! Even in the ancient civilization… some supreme powerhouses typically only engage in willpower confrontations to suppress their opponents. They don’t know how to better utilize willpower.
Willpower is too elusive, a very abstract existence.
How to utilize it?
Only some supreme beings can experience and create techniques from it. Unlike god-force consuming techniques, the most basic first level of god-force consuming techniques can be understood by powerful Void True Gods. But willpower techniques, even Eternal True Gods cannot comprehend. Only after mastering the Chaos Laws can one gradually gain insights.
The ‘Divine Eye Secret Art’ is a powerful technique created by the God-King.
…
“Must one reach the level of a Void True God in willpower to begin cultivating the Divine Eye Secret Art?”
“Hmm?”
“Why does this feel similar to heart cultivation?”
As Luo Feng read through the first volume of the Divine Eye Secret Art, besides some cultivation content, it also provided guidance on enhancing willpower. According to its teachings, to improve one’s willpower… one must focus on the inner self, constantly analyze one’s inner being, understand oneself, comprehend one’s inner heart, and continuously elevate oneself.
…
High in the sky, the Divine Eye radiated a hazy golden light, and the willpower assault it contained continued to intensify, surpassing the limit of a True God and further increasing.
The leap from the True God limit to the Void True God is a significant one.
Therefore, Luo Feng could still easily withstand it.
Inside the icy mountain in the distance, more and more text continued to appear, still part of the first volume of the Divine Eye Secret Art. Obviously, this first volume was quite lengthy. Finally, everything ceased, and the entire first volume of the Divine Eye Secret Art was fully revealed.
“Just the first volume took so long to completely manifest. If one’s willpower had not surpassed the True God limit, one probably couldn’t even finish reading the first volume.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but sigh.
Shortly after the first volume was fully revealed—
“Ah…” Luo Feng suddenly noticed text appearing in another icy mountain in the distance. “Divine Eye Secret Art, Volume Two!”
Luo Feng was immediately overjoyed and quickly began reading and memorizing it.
A complete secret art is naturally divided into many volumes.
