Chapter 160: The Ultimate Move Hidden Away

Inside the trial space of the Star Transmission Tower.

Above the mist-shrouded mountain peak, Lin Qing looked at the dark vortex that resembled a black hole and said, "So this is the Yu Xingyuan?"

"Yes, this is the simulated Yu Xingyuan."

Chen Guang said from the side, "Master, you can create an account first; only a name is required."

"How many can be created?" Lin Qing asked.

"Ten," Chen Guang said. "They will all appear on the Yu Xingyuan trial leaderboard. However, Earth has not yet connected to the Second Universe Network, so currently only the regional network rankings are available, showing only the top one thousand within the planet."

"Let's see the rankings," Lin Qing said.

Chen Guang tapped with his fingertip, and immediately a huge black leaderboard floated in mid-air, displaying dark golden names one by one.

【No. 1: Screw that damn Wisdom Star dog, Yu Xingyuan Eighth Layer】

【No. 2: Wisdom Star people are pure trash, Yu Xingyuan Eighth Layer】

【No. 3: Wisdom Star people are super durable, Yu Xingyuan Eighth Layer】

Lin Qing glanced at it and couldn't help but feel a bit confused.

What kind of names are these...

He almost thought he was looking at the leaderboard of some third-rate mobile game; the names were all randomly made up, and the top nine were all cursing the Wisdom Star people.

"Who are these people?" Lin Qing couldn't help asking.

"It is said that the top nine on this leaderboard are all accounts belonging to Hall Master Qi," Chen Guang said. "Judging from the Yu Xingyuan rankings, Hall Master Qi is the strongest on Earth, but the only account Hall Master Qi has publicly acknowledged is the one ranked eleventh."

Hearing this, Lin Qing glanced downward.

【No. 10: Lei Tong, Yu Xingyuan Seventh Layer】

【No. 11: Passerby B, Yu Xingyuan Seventh Layer】

"Passerby B?" Lin Qing was stunned and laughed, then added, "However, the Yu Xingyuan layer publicly acknowledged by Hall Master Qi is actually one layer lower? The gap between each layer should be quite large, right?"

"The gap between each layer is very large."

Chen Guang nodded slightly. "It is said that Lei Tong, ranked tenth, is the supreme leader of the Wisdom Star Group and also the publicly acknowledged strongest on Earth. He is already a Ultimate Star Creature, but he is not confident about passing the trial for the Star-level Divine Office."

"Publicly acknowledged strongest, Ultimate Star Creature? Ranked tenth?" Lin Qing felt something was strange.

"But Hall Master Qi is recognized as Earth's number one genius and is best at combat."

Chen Guang said, "It is said that Hall Master Qi has mastered a very powerful Divine Skill. Although it is unclear which tier it belongs to, looking across the entire Earth, only Hall Master Qi has the possibility of possessing such a thing."

Lin Qing examined the names of the top nine on this leaderboard and actually felt a sense of pleasure, unable to help but exclaim, "Beautiful."

However...

If Qi Lingxiao truly mastered a powerful Divine Skill of an extremely high tier, it would be very normal for his strength to rank first.

Having recently studied Divine Skills carefully, he understood even better how exquisite and brilliant the application of Divine Skills is regarding the use of energy and Divine Office abilities.

Such technique could only be created by a powerhouse of an extremely high realm, possessing transcendent height and experience.

Once a powerful Divine Skill is combined with a Divine Office, it is undoubtedly a supreme art applied to its absolute peak.

Just like the defensive Divine Skill Whirling Star, which has reached the peak in terms of defense and self-preservation; at this level, whether one possesses a Saint Word of the defensive type makes little difference.

After all, a Saint Word only increases the intensity of one aspect by one layer.

Whereas a wonderful and powerful Divine Skill like Whirling Star, once cultivated to its theoretical limit, can increase defense by nearly two layers, naturally far surpassing a Saint Word, though the difficulty coefficient of learning it is so high it is despairing.

After mastering such a Divine Skill, the Saint Word that increases energy reserves and recovery becomes the most useful, allowing this move to last longer.

If one also masters an offensive Divine Skill of this tier and has sufficient energy reserves, then one is simply invincible within that same tier.

"I wonder how high I can climb..."

Lin Qing secretly anticipated it and immediately said, "Chen Guang, help me create an account; the name will be '02'."

He planned to use this account as his main one, using a codename just like Twilight Frontline.

Immediately, Lin Qing stepped forward into the vortex leading to the Yu Xingyuan.

Accompanied by strange distortions and transformations, when the view before Lin Qing's eyes returned to normal, he had already appeared on a vast expanse of land.

The gravity here had reached thousands of times that of Earth; no signs of vegetation or life could be seen. The ground consisted only of hard, heavy, high-density matter, and dark currents of air swirled and surged in the atmosphere, turning into gloomy gales that swept past.

Within these dark currents, Lin Qing immediately felt a trace of strange energy beginning to slowly erode and damage his body.

However, with his vitality and physique, this damage was less than his recovery speed.

"Where is the trial of the First Layer of the Yu Xingyuan?"

Lin Qing's gaze slowly swept the surroundings, remaining vigilant at all times.

"Master, the trial in every Yu Xingyuan world is the same: one must find the Yu Xingyuan passage in this world and enter the Yu Xingyuan world of the next layer."

Chen Guang said, "It is said that the Yu Xingyuan is like an inverted pyramid structure. The First Layer of the Yu Xingyuan contains countless worlds, connecting to countless Second Layer Yu Xingyuan worlds; the Second Layer connects to the Third Layer... and so on. The entire Yu Xingyuan is hidden in the dark side of the universe, seemingly finite yet infinite, and the Star Demons are creatures born within the Yu Xingyuan."

Lin Qing could understand this.

The so-called Star Demons are merely the most fitting term after translation.

"The land of this world is flat."

While expanding his domain, Lin Qing also observed all four directions, somewhat puzzled, "I don't see any traces of Star Demons?"

"Master, according to the data left by Father, there are no Star Demons in the First Layer of the Yu Xingyuan," Chen Guang shook his head and said. "The trial of this world layer is survival. Master, didn't you resist the erosion of the Yu Xingyuan environment on your body? That is the danger of the First Layer of the Yu Xingyuan."

"So this is the trial?" Lin Qing was stunned.

Although he had noticed that the energy in this environment was eroding and damaging his body, the damage was too low, so naturally he didn't take it seriously.

"Master, you not only have a foundation in the Divine Office, but you are also a Primordial Creature and have inscribed a Saint Word. Naturally, the erosion of the Yu Xingyuan energy from just the First Layer has no effect."

Chen Guang said, "But for an ordinary Inspector, in such an environment, not only would their life force be exhausted very quickly, but their soul could not withstand the erosion of the Yu Xingyuan energy either. Unless they were very lucky, they would not have enough time to find the entrance to the passage of the next layer."

Lin Qing pondered and asked, "Am I the only one in the entire Yu Xingyuan world?"

"Yes," Chen Guang nodded and said, "Earth has not yet connected to the Second Universe Network, so the Yu Xingyuan trials are all independent."

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

It was just like an online game without an internet connection; one could only play the single-player version.

"First, go to the second layer and see how far I can rush through in one breath."

Lin Qing immediately took off across the world's ground of the first layer of the Yu Xingyuan, flying at an astonishing speed.

Although the gravity was several thousand times heavier, now that he had inscribed the Holy Character 'Endless Divine Power' with Fifth-Tier Primal Energy, his physical strength had increased so greatly that this gravity was nothing at all.

After inscribing this Fifth-Tier 'Endless Divine Power', the numerical increase in strength was extremely high, raising his physical strength by nearly a whole realm.

Although once he reached the level of a High-Level Primal Being, such an increase would be average, as long as he could inscribe 'Endless Divine Power' again with Sixth-Tier energy, his strength would still see a massive boost.

Although Holy Characters are not as powerful as Divine Techniques, they have the advantage of being 'passive'; once successfully inscribed, they require no energy consumption.

Moreover, the difficulty of inscribing a Holy Character is far less than the difficulty of mastering a Divine Technique.

Normally speaking.

As long as there is a Holy Character inheritance, as long as one persists... inscribing a Holy Character with energy of one's own tier basically guarantees success.

Even though Holy Characters and Divine Techniques cannot be calculated using multiplication, Holy Characters can still make up for many shortcomings; naturally, the more the better.

Divine Office as the main focus, Holy Characters as the supplement; this is the most common path in the universe.

And Divine Techniques...

They are merely the most distant shortcut, with difficulty far too high.

"Found it."

In a short while, Lin Qing found a dark vortex channel within this first layer of the Yu Xingyuan world; from the depths of the vortex, one could sense an even more astonishing aura of Yu Xingyuan energy.

He did not hesitate and immediately flew into it.

After passing through this dim, lightless channel that seemed to condense endless darkness, Lin Qing immediately appeared in the world of the second layer of the Yu Xingyuan.

This was a dark red land; besides the more intense dark currents in the void, the ground was covered with oval, black cocoon-like objects resembling silkworm pupae, absorbing vast amounts of dark currents.

The gravity in this world was even more astonishing; ordinary Primal Beings would likely struggle even to walk here.

At the same time, Lin Qing could clearly sense that the surrounding Yu Xingyuan energy was denser, and its corrosive damage to him was much more severe.

Even if he expanded his Domain, it was useless; the Domain could not affect the Yu Xingyuan energy at all.

If not for his Holy Character 'Fountain of Life', with its vast vitality and extremely rapid recovery, where the recovery speed was slightly faster than the erosion speed, he would not have been able to hold on for long.

If it were someone at the level of a High-Ranking Official, they would likely die on the spot before long.

"Master."

Chen Guang said, "These cocoon-like objects nurture Star Demons; they can be understood as eggs of Star Demons, yet they possess a certain self-awareness and can influence the energy of the Yu Xingyuan."

"Oh?"

Lin Qing immediately expanded his Domain and began sensing the location of the channel leading to the third layer of the Yu Xingyuan.

The world of this second layer of the Yu Xingyuan was obviously much larger; within the dozens of kilometers covered by his Domain, he sensed no channel.

However, he could vaguely sense the direction where higher-tier Yu Xingyuan energy was located.

"It should be over there."

Lin Qing immediately rushed in that direction.

Just then—

He had only advanced a few steps when, upon approaching one of the cocoon-like objects nurturing a Star Demon, he felt the surrounding Yu Xingyuan energy suddenly surge.

In the next moment, that cocoon-like object suddenly lit up; a vast amount of surrounding Yu Xingyuan energy immediately converged, forming a dense and fierce black pillar of light that shot straight toward Lin Qing!

"Hmm?"

With a thought, Lin Qing immediately controlled his Domain to suppress and attempt to block this black pillar of light formed by a massive amount of energy.

Yet that black pillar of light only dissipated partially; after becoming thinner, it still charged toward Lin Qing.

"Forget it, let's try; at worst, I die once."

Lin Qing was too lazy to use Flash Step to dodge, letting that black pillar of light strike his chest.

In the next moment—

"Sss..."

Lin Qing suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest; looking down, he saw that a patch of skin and flesh on his chest had vanished, as if erased.

Under the power of the Holy Character, the flesh and blood began to writhe and grow at an astonishing speed.

"Quite strong?" Lin Qing was secretly surprised.

Even he could not block it; a Fifth-Tier Domain pushed to its limit could only block part of it, showing just how strong the energy pillar emitted by that cocoon-like object had been.

If it were someone at the level of a High-Ranking Official, failing to dodge would mean certain death.

"Break."

Lin Qing pointed with his fingertip; in the void within his Domain, dots of dark golden light condensed, forming divine weapons that immediately turned into streaks of light in the sky, tearing through the air and accelerating continuously toward that huge black cocoon-like object.

"Clang clang clang clang—!!"

Each streak of light struck the surface of that black cocoon-like object, but could only barely leave a scratch or a slight dent.

"Even an egg is this sturdy?" Lin Qing was somewhat surprised.

"Master, the second layer is still about survival; these eggs of Star Demons will launch an attack once they sense someone approaching. Master, you just need to dodge," Chen Guang reminded.

Lin Qing glanced over, waved his hand to recall the divine weapons one by one, and then used his Domain to form a shallow Sky-Track coordinate in the void dozens of kilometers away.

Now that the abilities of the Sky-Track Monarch had merged into his Divine Office, the Sky-Track coordinate could be used without inscribing a physical object; he could directly form a Sky-Track coordinate in the void through his Domain.

And then—

"Flash Step, return to the coordinate!"

He immediately turned into a streak of light with astonishing speed, shooting straight up; like teleportation, he instantly crossed that distance of dozens of kilometers, appearing in the half-sky at the end.

The massive black cocoon below seemed to sense his presence and began gathering energy once more, attempting to attack.

Lin Qing again followed the direction of higher-energy Yu Xingyuan energy, stamped another Celestial Track coordinate, then activated the return coordinate.

Three times in succession, Lin Qing traversed over a hundred kilometers in an instant.

He still had about one-tenth of his energy left, but it was recovering at an astonishing speed.

It wouldn't take much time before he fully recovered.

After all, in this environment of incredible gravity, it was far faster than running on foot himself.

"Hum…"

At that moment, another cocoon below sensed his presence and began gathering Yu Xingyuan energy, preparing to attack.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately behind Lin Qing, a pair of dim, murky dark-gold wings unfolded.

The Celestial Wings, now fused with multiple powers, had changed color and been enhanced by the Sacred Glyph "Infinite Divine Power," making their flight burst speed far faster than the original Celestial Wings, and far quicker and more agile than his leg-powered running on the ground.

"Boom!"

A jet-black beam shot skyward, striking directly at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing's dark-gold wings flapped, and his entire body instantly shifted sideways, dodging the black beam.

"It's pretty easy to dodge, isn't it?" He relaxed slightly.

The beam itself was fast—much faster than his movement—but the cocoon's attack initiation was too slow, too rigid and direct, posing no real threat to him.

Lin Qing flew through the air, searching for the Yu Xingyuan passage to the third level, while rapidly restoring his energy. "Boom!"

"Boom!"

At that moment, one after another black beam erupted from the ground below, but all were effortlessly dodged by Lin Qing's illusions.

Only because his current strength was sufficient could he fly in this ultra-high gravity environment.

After briefly scanning along the direction of higher-energy Yu Xingyuan energy, Lin Qing found the vortex entrance to the third-level Yu Xingyuan world.

"Not that hard."

Lin Qing mused inwardly, "An Upper Director with sufficient strength could pass through."

His greatest distinction from the Upper Director level lies in the strength of his Domain, his rare Divine Office, and his possession of Sacred Glyphs.

That's why he was so relaxed.

But an Upper Director, with good luck, could also pass this level.

"Does the difficulty of each Yu Xingyuan trial level increase precisely by one tier?"

!.

As he pondered, Lin Qing flew toward the third-level Yu Xingyuan world.

"Master, the third-level world begins with true Star Demons," Chen Guang warned. "Your current strength may not be enough to pass."

…

"Whoosh!"

Lin Qing had already flown into the third-level Yu Xingyuan world; gravity had not increased—it had weakened considerably, now only several hundred times Earth's.

In this world, low Shanfeng could still be seen, their slopes covered in strange vegetation and dotted with numerous caves.

"Hmm?"

"The erosion power of this level's Yu Xingyuan energy?"

Upon entering this Yu Xingyuan world, Lin Qing couldn't help but frown slightly.

Under the erosion of this level's Yu Xingyuan energy, his vitality began plummeting at an alarming rate; even the Sacred Glyph "Life Source" could only slightly slow the erosion.

"At most, I can hold out one or two minutes…"

Lin Qing estimated internally how long he could endure.

Just then—

"Sssssss!"

A chorus of whistling filled the air as creatures burst forth from each cave: some with crimson skin and blazing scales, others with pure black skin, some impossibly slender, others resembling Black Flame's incarnations, with blue scales and fleshy wings…

They were Star Demons!

At a glance, there were six types of Star Demons, precisely corresponding to the six factions: Life, Destruction, Order, Chaos, Nature, and Authority!

Dozens were rushing toward him!

"Master."

Chen Guang's voice sounded: "The danger of this third level lies in these newborn Demons—each is a true Star Demon, far stronger than the Divine Offices that mimic them, slightly weaker than Yan now, but lacking the ability to burn Black Flame."

Lin Qing had fully unleashed his Pseudo-God Domain, exerting maximum pressure on the approaching Star Demons.

Simultaneously, he activated the Spatial Scale Alteration he had never used before, doubling the spatial scale experienced by the Star Demons to halve their relative speed.

Meanwhile, the spatial scale experienced by himself was halved, doubling his speed!

After all, as a Weapon Master, he would never engage these Star Demons in close combat!

"Go."

Lin Qing's will shifted, and countless dark-gold Divine Weapons coalesced behind him, transforming into a blinding storm of light that, propelled by his Domain, shot toward the Star Demons at terrifying speed.

Ninety-nine Divine Weapons—this was the limit of his divided attention.

"Roar!"

As they roared, each Star Demon unleashed its own Domain.

Though their Domains hadn't reached the fifth energy tier's peak, they still negated much of Lin Qing's Domain pressure.

Fortunately, the Spatial Scale effect remained; otherwise, Domain pressure alone wouldn't have been enough.

"Ding ding ding ding—!"

High-speed flying divine weapons struck the starry demons one by one, but most of the starry demons had not even broken through their defenses; at best, they only suffered minor injuries.

"As expected... newborn demons comparable to high-level primordial beings..."

Seeing this, Lin Qing helplessly shook his head slightly.

At this moment, he already understood that relying solely on the ability of the Weapon Commander, he was definitely no match for these starry demons.

After all, these starry demons were only weaker than him in terms of domain, but their overall strength was a whole level higher than his!

Although he possessed the Holy Word, Infinite Divine Power only enhanced physical strength, which provided no bonus to the Weapon Commander's control over divine weapons.

The other Holy Words were also not combat-oriented.

Therefore, relying solely on his role as Weapon Commander, even with the advantage of the False God's Domain, he was definitely inferior to the divine servants of those high-level primordial beings.

"Then..."

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand, and the ninety-nine divine weapons simultaneously turned into light dust and vanished.

At the same time, surging energy within his body rushed out, beginning to wildly condense and compress; in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a deep radiance composed purely of energy, spreading continuously along his body and outlining winding contours.

Although it lacked a detailed physical form, it exuded a sense of near-perfection; its head was a face without features, devoid of sorrow or joy, resembling a deity.

At this moment, it was as if his entire self was hidden inside a nearly five-meter-tall translucent statue, floating within it.

The sole combat ability of the Walker Beneath the Gods—

False God Body!

The ability of the Weapon Commander could not enjoy the bonus of Infinite Divine Power, whereas the False God Body of the Walker Beneath the Gods was like wearing a layer of massive sealed armor; besides granting him astonishing defense, it would also amplify his inherent strength.

It was a perfect match for the Holy Word 'Infinite Divine Power'!

"And then, there is also..."

Lin Qing slowly extended a hand; under the continuous condensation of faint dark-golden light belonging to divine weapons, it instantly enveloped his massive False God Body.

Afterwards, this dark-golden light began to transform from his arm into an armored gauntlet, followed immediately by shoulder guards, pieces of chest armor, a helmet... armor pieces for various parts floated into existence one by one, fitting perfectly onto the surface of the False God Body.

—This was armor crafted by him using the forging ability of the Weapon Commander, perfectly suited for the False God Body.

The fifth-level forging ability was sufficient to create divine weapons comparable to fifth-tier materials!

This massive armor of such solidity could also make the defense of the False God Body even more astonishing.

"Finally..."

Lin Qing reached out; under the condensation of faint dark-golden light, a battle blade over three meters long appeared in the hand of the False God Body!

The dark-golden light wings behind him also expanded and unfolded; the massive False God Body hovered in mid-air, emitting a formidable aura.

"Let's begin."

Wrapped within the False God Body, Lin Qing's light wings flapped once, and his figure instantly flew at high speed toward an oncoming crimson starry demon; his enlarged body did not hinder his speed in the slightest.

Before the nearly five-meter-tall massive body, that starry demon looked like a tiny speck.

Under the domain suppression and the alteration of spatial scale, that crimson starry demon only felt a flash before its eyes; a slash of blade light passed, and its head flew off!

This strike possessed far greater power than the divine weapons activated by the Weapon Commander's ability!

After all, the power enhanced by the Holy Word was already extremely formidable; since the False God Body could amplify one's own strength, the result was naturally completely different!

Domain suppression, speed suppression, strength suppression, defense suppression...

In every aspect, Lin Qing surpassed these newborn starry demons; the outcome of this battle was, naturally, self-evident.

Accompanied by the flashing of massive blade light.

A massacre began.

Twenty seconds later.

"Haa..."

Lin Qing slowly exhaled; the False God Body on his surface began to dissipate on its own, and those divine weapon armor pieces likewise turned into points of light dust.

He glanced at the falling demon corpses, then flew directly toward the direction where the higher-level Yu Xingyuan energy was located.

These demons each had their specialties; they were indeed troublesome.

Some possessed astonishing regeneration, remaining alive even when chopped into fragments, attempting to recover.

Some had extremely strong body defenses; some were skilled in mental illusions; some had screams that were powerful soul attacks; some were adept at binding...

Lin Qing felt somewhat relieved; fortunately, he was also comprehensive enough.

Although the process was a bit troublesome, it ultimately succeeded.

"Is this the power of the Walker Beneath the Gods?"

Chen Guang's voice sounded in his mind: "No wonder you dared to break into the third layer; it turns out the Walker Beneath the Gods possesses such abilities? You also coordinated with the Weapon Commander's ability; indeed, it is very strong..."

"My trump card." Lin Qing smiled. "This fight was quite satisfying; it's rare to have the chance to use my full strength."

"It seems your strength should not be too far inferior to the Black Flame Clone," Chen Guang said softly.

"Still quite inferior. Anyway, compared to those high-level primordial beings with only basic divine functions, we are on the same level," Lin Qing said casually. "Provided they do not possess Holy Words either."

Actually, in terms of explosive power, the Black Flame Clone was far stronger.

The Black Flame Clone itself had sufficiently strong genes and also possessed the Holy Word 'Infinite Divine Power'; under the Black Flame's full combustion, increasing explosive power by ten times—how terrifying would that be?

Even with the False God Body amplifying strength, the increase did not reach ten times.

A reckless fighting style that burned out one's life in mere dozens of seconds; how could that compare?

However, combined with the divine weapon armor made of fifth-tier materials, even under the Black Flame's full explosion, it could not break the defense of the False God Body.

Of course...

Once he mastered the Spinning Star Divine Technique of the Weapon Commander, or even passed the detection secret technique and cultivated the Walker Beneath the Gods' divine technique, he would definitely be far stronger than the Black Flame.

"If there is an opportunity, I still need to find a starry demon divine technique for the Black Flame Clone as well..."

Lin Qing began to plan secretly.

While pondering, in a short while he found the channel vortex to the next layer of the Yu Xingyuan.

Lin Qing recovered his energy slightly before flying into that dark channel vortex.

Although he knew he definitely could not pass the fourth layer, he still had to try.

"Hiss..."

Above the mist-shrouded mountain peak, Lin Qing suddenly appeared, rubbing his brow helplessly. "The gap is indeed too large; even the pseudo-god body was shattered directly..."

Compared to the third layer of the Yu Xingyuan, the fourth layer still consisted of newborn demons, but their strength was far greater than the third layer; they could probably rival Primitive-level Divine Office holders.

Even with the protection of divine weapons and armor, the pseudo-god body was still shattered.

"Master, the Yu Xingyuan ranking list has changed."

Chen Guang reminded him, and at the same time, his fingertip tapped, causing a huge black list to materialize in mid-air.

The top one thousand will all appear on the list.

Lin Qing scanned it carefully and finally found himself at position 347.

"347th?"

Lin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. "Not as high as I thought; so many people possess the Star Transmission Tower?"

The strength he displayed was already equivalent to those high-level Primitive beings with basic Divine Offices; in the Urban Circle, that should count as upper-middle, yet he is only in the three hundreds?

"Master, for geniuses from extraterrestrial civilizations, as long as there is money, one can buy a Star Transmission Tower."

Chen Guang said, "People with this kind of strength have almost all been signed by extraterrestrial civilizations; possessing a Star Transmission Tower is normal. Moreover, everyone can create multiple accounts, just like Hall Master Qi, so in reality, it should only be a fraction."

She paused. "Furthermore, among the various powerful figures on Earth, almost all have gone to the Firmament Archipelago to explore treasures; everywhere are people possessing Holy Letters, with a density far higher than other civilizations in the galaxy."

"That's true..."

Lin Qing nodded as well. "As long as there is enough time, Holy Letters can be engraved; it is just that Divine Arts are too difficult... at most, one can learn some simplified versions of Divine Arts. As for truly powerful Divine Arts, there are probably only a few people on the entire Earth who have mastered them."

"Perhaps only Hall Master Qi." Chen Guang said.

Lin Qing couldn't help but smile, then looked up at the Yu Xingyuan Trial list again.

"Looking at it this way, the comparison between Yu Xingyuan layers and strength is quite simple."

"Patrol Inspectors, the most ordinary basic Divine Office holders, have a certain hope of passing the first layer of the Yu Xingyuan."

"Department Heads, Primitive beings with basic Divine Offices, have hope of passing the second layer."

"High-level Primitive beings with basic Divine Offices have hope of passing the third layer."

"Primitive-level Divine Office holders have hope of passing the fourth layer of the Yu Xingyuan..."

"Hmm, specifics still depend on individual performance and strength; those with rare Divine Offices clearly have greater hope."

Lin Qing pondered silently and concluded: "If one possesses multiple sets of Holy Letters, adding a layer is quite normal."

The reason he could pass the third layer of the Yu Xingyuan was not only relying on the Holy Letter 'Endless Divine Power' but also on the vast vitality of 'Fountain of Life' to survive in the third layer for so long.

Not to mention, it was also the 'Source Soul' and 'Mirror of Suffering' that allowed him to resist the mental illusions and soul attacks of those Starry Sky Demons.

If one's strength is insufficient, one indeed cannot pass this third layer.

"The fourth layer... there is probably no hope for it in the short term."

Lin Qing pondered silently. "I can go to the Urban Circle now; I heard the Star Patrol Council has methods to control high-level energy more easily. I hope it is useful..."

If he wants to improve now, he must either evolve into a high-level Primitive being or master a Divine Art.

Both require time.

"Moreover, that Sky Island Guardian said the Yu Xingyuan Trial is helpful for detecting the entry into secret arts; I don't know how many layers are needed to succeed..."

End of March, 2123.

After preparing thoroughly, Lin Qing left Lin'an City and headed for the Urban Circle.
