"The Astral World..." muttered Li Pin. He couldn't determine whether Sasha's words were true or whether the information she revealed contained subjective bias. However, that didn't matter, as he knew how selfish people could be. Even knowing that merging with the Astral World to gain immortality would burden the universe and disrupt its cycle, people would continue to pursue it. Some even believed that the actions of the Black Abyss Highlord were cutting off the path for future generations. From their perspective, these Highlords were hypocrites. They had used these very same methods they fought against to become Highlords themselves. Only after achieving their goal did they turn around and start pointing fingers, forbidding others from using the Astral World to cultivate rapidly and attain immortality under the guise of protecting the universe's balance. Under such circumstances, anyone who wasn't completely brainwashed would never obey their words and give up pursuing becoming a Highlord. Li Pin composed himself and glanced at his reserve of Creation Gold Coins. Even if he were willing to use these hundred million Creation Gold Coins to support Wang Fuyun, Liu Suxin, King Tianyu, and Shen Duxiu, it would still be unlikely for them to reach the fourth level of the Supreme Technique. It was more likely for them to successfully condense their True Spirits and comprehend the mysteries of the fourth level in one go. Once they left the Heavenly Prison World, they would need at most ten thousand stellar years to attain Cosmic Radiance. They wouldn't be run-of-the-mill Cosmic Radiances either but Tyrant-level existences. However, that was not the main focus now. "I can set aside the Galactic Starburst for now and focus on obtaining the Primordial Abyss True Demon Form first." The feeling of being completely seen through by Cosmic Radiance, with no secrets left, was too unsettling. Li Pin always acted openly and honestly, but it didn't mean he had to expose everything about himself under the watchful eyes of others. Shortly after, Wang Fuyun once again appeared in mid-air at Li Pin's small bamboo house. He directly took out a Legacy Crystal and said, "I have attained Endless Reincarnation, but I still need some time to attain Transcendent True Form." "That's enough," Li Pin replied. For Astral Gods who had not yet condensed their True Spirits, they could only cultivate one inner spirit secret art. It was only when they reached the True Spirit stage and were about to charge toward the Supreme Realm that they started cultivating as many secret arts as possible. On one hand, it enhanced their combat power. On the other hand, studying other secret arts allowed them to glimpse into the philosophies of other Supreme Techniques and extract their essence, laying the foundation for their gradual ascent to Supremacy. Be it the Solar Flare or Starshine, unless they failed to ascend to the True Spirit using their chosen secret art, they would focus on mastering just one. Li Pin was no exception to this. He had already decided to cultivate the Primordial Abyss True Demon Form. As such, other Supreme Secret Arts were more valuable when used as a reference now. If he could obtain them, that would be ideal, but if not, he would not force it. "Alright, I'll check again. If the cost is too high, I'll hold off for now," said Wang Fuyun, taking out two set of documents. "This is what I found out. Since only the Clearheart Society and the Prodigy Hall are willing to use a Supreme Secret Art to challenge you, your opponents should be the two they have put forward. One is Jin Ling from the Prodigy Hall, and the other is Chi Mang, a unique lifeform from the Clearheart Society." He quickly introduced, "Jin Ling's race is somewhat special. They are born with a pair of innate metallic wings that contain spatial profundities, rivaling the talents of the Sky Clan. They can traverse the void with incredible fluidity. As for Chi Mang, he is not well-known, and I found it difficult to gather information on him. However, all special lifeforms possess extraordinary qualities. When dealing with him, I suggest you be even more cautious than when facing Jin Ling." "I understand," Li Pin acknowledged with a nod. "I hope they have mastered decent soul secret arts." "Jin Ling has. His inner spirit secret art is the ordinary-tier Endless Hell of Slaughter Technique. It can trap people in an endless slaughter hell, ultimately destroying everything. It is very effective in chaotic battles. Back then, he used this secret art to cause over a dozen Stormwind Tower's elites to slaughter each other, creating massive chaos. But in a one-on-one fight... as long as you don't get controlled by the desire to kill or destroy, the threat should be much smaller." Wang Fuyun paused for a moment. "As for Chi Mang..." He shook his head. "There is too little information. In any case, when dealing with uniquje lifeforms, one can never be too careful." Li Pin smiled faintly. "It's fine. Unless something unexpected happens, defeating them won't be difficult." "Don't get complacent," warned Wang Fuyun. "They are also prodigies among the alien races and unique lifeforms. Their talents are in no way inferior to us human geniuses. Especially the talents of special lifeforms. They are often impossible to guard against." Those who could cultivate to an unparalleled sacred state and reach the third level of the original supreme technique in just ten stellar years theoretically had their own calm judgment and could distinguish priorities. But what Wang Fuyun feared was that Li Pin might become so arrogant that he disregarded everyone else, believing his talent to be unmatched. Li Pin seemed to be heading in that direction. Li Pin nodded humbly. "I understand. I will maintain sufficient respect for every opponent." Seeing his expression, Wang Fuyun knew that he hadn't taken his words to heart, but there was nothing else he could do at this point. He simply said, "Forget it, forget it. In this match, you only need to ensure that you don't put your life at risk..." After Wang Fuyun left, he turned his gaze to the Supreme Technique he had newly acquired. Compared to conventional Supreme Techniques, Endless Reincarnation felt like it combined the strengths of both the Supreme and Transcendent techniques. The concepts of reincarnation, fortune, and destiny mentioned within it intrigued Li Pin. However, since the duel was approaching, he had no way to devote much time and energy to comprehending this Supreme Technique. A stellar month ago, Li Pin accepted the challenge from Jin Ling and Chi Mang, and the heated discussions that once doubted his abilities gradually subsided. Everyone patiently awaited the day when Li Pin would finally face Jin Ling and Chi Mang in battle. Wang Fuyun had mentioned it previously, but Jin Ling and Chi Mang were not considered top-tier experts among those who had reached the third layer of the Supreme Technique. Nevertheless, as long as Li Pin could display the power of the third layer during their battle, it would be enough to provide proof to the people of the Heavenly Prison World that he had indeed mastered the third layer. All that mattered was proving that a talent who could cultivate the third level of the Supreme Technique in ten stellar years had emerged. That was enough for Li Pin to be seen as a beacon of hope for everyone in the Golden and Silver Lands. When that happened, they would willingly gather around him and follow his commands, all in hopes of using his strength to escape the Heavenly Prison World. The duel approached under such circumstances, and countless members from the Silver Land flocked to the scene. The town that served as the duel venue became completely packed. To ensure fairness in the battles, they would take place under the watchful eyes of countless spectators. Thus, the duel was not set within the town but in a mountain range outside of it. This mountain range was filled with hundreds of peaks of varying heights, and the one chosen for the duel was the tallest among them, known as Sky Martial Peak. The peak stood over three thousand meters tall, with a summit spanning several hundred meters. With numerous surrounding peaks and the extraordinary eyesight of those who had mastered the first and second level of the Supreme Technique, this mountain range could easily accommodate a million spectators. It was not yet noon, but the surrounding peaks of Sky Martial Peak were already crowded with eager spectators, awaiting the duel. From time to time, people would expend their spiritual energy to lift themselves into the air, soaring into the sky to gaze toward the distant Golden Land. Countless discussions echoed throughout the crowd. "Reaching the third level of the Supreme Technique in just ten stellar years... No matter how much I hear it, it still sounds unbelievable. But I still hope it's true because if someone can achieve this in such a short time, it means that in a thousand years, or even just a hundred, he might reach the fourth level, complete the Black Abyss Highlord's test, and restore our freedom." "Li Pin has already accepted the duel, and it's against two powerful figures—Jin Ling from the Prodigy Hall and Chi Mang from the Clearheart Society. Someone who has mastered the third level of the Supreme Technique wouldn't be a fool. If he lacked the strength, why would he accept such a duel recklessly?" "I believe in Li Pin as well. The Prodigy Hall and Clearheart Society harbor hostility toward our Human Race. If they had the chance, they would surely try to kill him. He must be aware of this, yet he still dares to accept the duel. This shows that, based on his judgment, even if he is slightly weaker, he is confident in his ability to retreat unscathed." "Completing the third level in just ten stellar years? That's ridiculous! I don't believe it! Our Clearheart Society's leader took sixty stellar years to reach this stage. Li Pin is nothing more than a Divine Being. How could he possibly achieve this? He must be seeking attention! When noon arrives, he won't even show up." Various voices continued to echo throughout the crowd. Some people even erupted into conflicts on the spot. There was still a palpable tension between the human race and the alien races. Nevertheless, due to the presence of law enforcers and factions' members patrolling both the skies and land, no one dared to act too recklessly. Among these people was Zi Luo, who had previously guided Li Pin. As she listened to the crowd's discussions, she couldn't help but recall that seemingly unremarkable man from before. She never would have imagined that in just two stellar years, he could stir up such a huge storm in the Heavenly Prison World, drawing everyone's attention to him. However, recalling the impression she had when she first met Li Pin, she sneered. It's fake, it's definitely fake. I don't know the objective of the person behind this, but I'm convinced that this is ninety percent just a farce. Believing she had seen through the truth, she deliberately bet all her gold coins in gambling arenas on Li Pin's loss, with the added condition that he had not mastered the third level. Right now, she was just waiting for that moment when the truth would be revealed and she would reap a huge profit. Thereafter, she wouldn't need to fret over Creation Gold Coins for the next few centuries.
