Chapter 182 Breaking Through the Tongtian Mountains!
After leaving the Tongtian Bridge, Chen Yuan paid no attention to the commotion he had caused and immediately returned to the real world, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion, ready to see the Chaos Stele again.
After all, it had been five years since Chen Yuan last comprehended the Chaos Stele. In the past few years, Chen Yuan had made rapid progress, but at the same time, he had also accumulated a lot of doubts.
Having crossed the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, Chen Yuan naturally gained another opportunity for enlightenment. He wouldn't just keep it to himself; he would use it when necessary.
This time, the effect of comprehending the Chaos Stele was even more obvious, because the deeper Chen Yuan's understanding of the laws became, the greater the gains he made from the Chaos Stele each time.
Seven days later, Chen Yuan returned to his residence, brimming with inspiration.
"Irene, shut down all communications. Don't bother me unless it's important."
Having just given the instructions, Chen Yuan plunged into immersive seclusion once again.
This seclusion lasted another two years, and 29 years had passed since Chen Yuan arrived in Chaos City.
On the third-floor rooftop, Chen Yuan finally opened his eyes.
"This time in seclusion, I finally comprehended the 82nd, 83rd, and 84th essences."
A hint of joy appeared on Chen Yuan's face: "Moreover, I've gained a certain understanding of the remaining essence. This time, comprehending the Chaos Stele has been the most rewarding experience I've ever had!"
Looking at the panel, he saw that his progress in the Law of Time had reached 30.7%, and his understanding was comparable to the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
Unfortunately, this level of strength was not enough to pass the eleventh level.
Based on Chen Yuan's previous experience, starting from the eleventh floor, the Bridge to Heaven places higher demands on the rules for those attempting to pass the test; at least 35% of the time limit is required to have a chance of success.
Even considering his current understanding of the laws, he is still lacking. Chen Yuan estimates that he will have to comprehend at least 90 essential principles before he will have a chance to pass through the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.
Now that he only has one year left in Chaos City, he doesn't think he can comprehend 90 essences in such a short time.
"However, although we can't cross the Tongtian Bridge, we can try Tongtian Mountain."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "I remember that the cosmic-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain requires the Tongtian Bridge to be at the level of 12 layers. I probably can't do that, but there is also the Primordial Tongtian Mountain and the Heaven and Earth Tongtian Mountain."
"Surely the requirements for these two Tongtian Mountains wouldn't be that high?"
If Chen Yuan can pass through the Primordial Sky-Reaching Mountain, it means that he can become a member of the Primordial Secret Realm in one step, saving him the long process of slowly climbing up through the qualification battle.
After all, even if he could advance every time through the once-in-a-century qualifying battle, it would still take him 300 years to fight his way from the Apocalypse Secret Realm to the Primal Secret Realm.
In that time, he could have even finished conquering the original Tongtian Mountain.
As Chen Yuan's consciousness logged into the virtual universe, he opened the permission list and clicked to teleport to the "Tongtian Mountain" dimension.
The next second, he arrived on a vast, desolate land, with three towering mountains standing in the distance, each one taller than the last.
On the mountainside of the three high mountains, large golden characters shimmer, respectively inscribed: Heaven and Earth, Primordial Beginning, and Primordial Origin.
Among them, the original Tongtian Mountain is the highest, while the Tiandi Tongtian Mountain is the lowest.
Chen Yuan transformed into a streak of light and flew to the foot of Tiandi Tongtian Mountain—as a member of the Doomsday Secret Realm, he could only start fighting from Tiandi Tongtian Mountain.
Otherwise, he would have preferred to attack Taichu Tongtian Mountain directly, since it would have been easier.
As Chen Yuan stepped into the area of the Heavenly Connecting Mountain, he saw a burly minotaur fast asleep on a platform not far away.
"Tauren, wake up!"
Chen Yuan shouted loudly, "I will conquer the Tongtian Mountains!"
Hearing the commotion, the minotaur jumped up, his copper-bell-like eyes widening: "You want to break through the Tongtian Mountains?"
Chen Yuan nodded.
"White ape, and a slut, come quick! Someone's trespassing through the Tongtian Mountains!"
The minotaur's voice boomed and echoed at the foot of the mountain. Soon, two figures flew over from other directions: a golden-haired ape-man and a snake-woman with a human head and a snake's body.
Upon learning that someone was going to attempt the challenge, all three of them pulled up Chen Yuan's information, and his record on the tenth floor of the Tongtian Bridge shocked them all.
"The tenth level of the Bridge to Heaven?" The minotaur, the ape-man, and the snake woman exchanged glances. The snake woman smiled bitterly and said, "With this kind of strength, you're probably good enough to conquer the Primordial Bridge to Heaven. Among the universe-level geniuses in the Primordial Secret Realm, there isn't a single one who can compare to you."
All three wore expressions of helplessness. Who would have thought that such a monster would be hidden in the apocalyptic secret realm?
"There's no other way. After all, those who enter the core level through internal channels can only enter the Doomsday Secret Realm."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Fortunately, there is the shortcut of Tongtian Mountain, otherwise I would have to wait hundreds of years to enter the Primal Secret Realm." After saying that, he drew his Qingxiao Sword and looked at the three of them: "Alright, let's get to the point quickly."
The three nodded and each took out their weapons; the battle began!
One second later, the battle ended.
There was nothing he could do; the gap was simply too vast. Chen Yuan felt that the strength of these three gatekeepers was only close to that of the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
Based on the increase in strength between the mountainside and the summit, the strength at the summit is estimated to be around the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
"If the eighth level of strength is enough to pass through the Cosmic-level Heaven-Reaching Mountain, then the Primordial Heaven-Reaching Mountain must be ten levels?"
Chen Yuan guessed in his heart, and without hesitation flew towards the mountainside.
Ten minutes later.
"Congratulations, Your Highness Chen Yuan, on passing through the Heavenly Passage Mountain."
The three resurrected people smiled and congratulated him: "With Your Highness's strength, passing through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain should not be a problem. We hope to see Your Highness at the summit of the Primordial Heavenly Mountain one day."
"Thank you for your kind words." Chen Yuan smiled, and then, under the watchful eyes of the three, flew towards the Primordial Heavenly Mountain.
A moment later, they successfully arrived at the foot of the Primordial Heavenly Mountain.
The three gatekeepers were already waiting there. After all, the entire gatekeepers of Tongtian Mountain were composed of these three, so they naturally knew about the situation of Tongtian Mountain.
"Your Highness Chen Yuan," the minotaur warrior grinned, "let's begin."
"Um."
Without wasting words, Chen Yuan drew his Azure Sky Sword and instantly flashed into the time rift.
After the three sword strikes, all three gatekeepers perished.
At the foot of the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, the difficulty level is only the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Naturally, the gatekeeper could not survive a single move against Chen Yuan.
Subsequently, Chen Yuan easily passed the checkpoint halfway up the mountain without much effort.
At the mountaintop.
"Your Highness Chen Yuan, you'd better be careful in this situation."
The snake woman, her veil swaying gracefully, her eyes sparkling, chuckled softly, "Although Your Highness is quite powerful, you can still make a mistake if you're not careful."
"Don't worry, I know you guys pretty well, I shouldn't lose."
Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Let's begin."
Before the words were even finished, the three gatekeepers attacked simultaneously. The minotaur warrior wielded a large axe and slashed at Chen Yuan, while the white-haired ape-man wielded a nine-section whip-like telekinetic weapon called "Arc Serpent" and swiftly closed in.
As for the snake woman, she had been casting illusions since the start of the battle, but unfortunately, they were completely useless.
Chen Yuan's figure flashed, ignoring the bull-headed warrior, and instantly closed in on the white-haired ape-man who was a mentalist.
However, as the guardians of the mountaintop, the ape-men were no pushovers and had their own ways of dealing with the situation.
As soon as Chen Yuan appeared, he immediately manipulated the Arc Serpent, which spun around and came in front of Chen Yuan. The telekinetic weapon straightened up in a flash, binding his figure like a chain.
"Bull, hurry up and do it! I've got him cornered!"
The white-haired ape immediately transmitted a message, and the burly minotaur warrior, wielding a giant purple axe, swung it towards Chen Yuan: "Die!"
With a deafening roar, Chen Yuan was cleaved in two by the giant axe. Just as the ape-man and the minotaur exchanged a knowing smile, the snake woman's urgent voice rang in his ears: "You two idiots, you've fallen under an illusion!"
"Illusion?!"
Before the two could react, a flash of blue light appeared, and the white-haired ape-man's body was cut into several pieces, dying instantly. The telekinetic weapon lost control and fell to the ground.
When one of the three guardians was gone, especially when the other illusionist was practically nonexistent, the lone Minotaur Warrior could no longer withstand Chen Yuan's sword.
In a flash, the cyan sword light pierced his head.
With the Minotaur Warrior fallen, the remaining Snake Woman posed even less of a threat. Chen Yuan smiled as he passed by her, his sword light cleaving her and her weapon in two.
Soon, the three figures reassembled and congratulated each other, saying, "Your Highness Chen Yuan, congratulations on passing through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain."
"From this moment on, you are a member of the Primordial Realm."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled with satisfaction.
