Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Boiling
"Li Yang, don’t be so skeptical. The Cosmos is incomparably vast; any kind of genius imaginable has likely appeared at some point. You have two powerful doppelgängers, but do you really think other geniuses haven’t had their own fortuitous encounters?"
Soul Ink said with a sigh, "Never underestimate anyone. Take Celestial Net from the Yuanlan Clan, for example. His strength was already a match for the Mid-Longevity Realm, but he’s only affiliated with the Yangyuan Empire, not the Human Race Eternal Saint Hall. This shows that his talent still isn’t great enough to be recruited by them."
Hearing this, Li Yang asked, "Does that mean I don’t have a chance?"
His strength was about the same as Celestial Net’s had been a year ago.
"Not necessarily."
Soul Ink’s tone suddenly shifted as he said, "Because of the Path of Deities."
"The Path of Deities?" Li Yang was a little confused.
"Li Yang, do you know why the talent selection for the Human Race Eternal Saint Hall is hailed as the single greatest event for geniuses in the entire Human Race?"
Soul Ink explained, "It’s all because of the Path of Deities!"
"The stairway on the Path of Deities has three thousand steps in total. On every single one, there are all kinds of opportunities! Cultivation Techniques! Law imprints, and so on!"
"These opportunities and Cultivation Techniques are all top-tier, even surpassing those of factions led by Deities! Didn’t you enter Lombart’s palace in the Relic Space on Celestial Wave Star and observe those Law imprints?"
Li Yang nodded. He had observed one of the Law imprints—a fist. It contained a trace of Thunder Law Profound Skill and had been deeply inspiring to him. In just a short time, his mastery of the Thunder Law had progressed noticeably.
But he hadn’t had much time to observe it.
Soul Ink continued, "The Law imprints on the steps of the Path of Deities...the ones on just the first ten steps are probably no weaker than those in Lombart’s palace. The higher you go up the stairway, the greater the opportunities, the stronger the Cultivation Techniques, and the more effective the Law imprints!"
"What?"
At these words, a fiery passion ignited in Li Yang’s eyes.
’The Path of Deities is filled with Law imprints? And the ones on the lowest steps are comparable to those in Lombart’s palace?’
Soul Ink explained, "In the Cosmos, the strong are revered. The major star systems are all ruled by various factions of Deities!"
"Powerful factions naturally have powerful Cultivation Techniques. But some incredibly weak factions have no Cultivation Techniques to speak of. A Planet Zero like your Earth is a prime example."
Li Yang nodded. If he hadn’t discovered the Purple Essence Ore on Earth, he never would have been able to afford the Hexagram Spear Cultivation Technique, even with his Thunder Star Beast and Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon doppelgängers.
And he certainly wouldn’t possess his current Mid-Longevity Realm-level strength.
Many Cultivators practiced with common, run-of-the-mill Cultivation Techniques.
Without money, even some very talented people gradually faded into obscurity.
Why do so many people scramble desperately to join a powerful faction? It’s because powerful factions offer superior Cultivation Techniques and training conditions.
"Major factions only recruit a small minority of geniuses. More than ninety-nine percent of those in the Law Realm are left without good Cultivation Techniques or fortuitous opportunities!"
Soul Ink said emotionally, "Just imagine: every single person in the Human Race who has reached the Law Realm can enter the Path of Deities. They can choose Cultivation Techniques and study endless Law imprints! It doesn’t matter if they’re from a faction run by Deities or a Planet Zero—everyone can participate! Powerful Cultivation Techniques are there for the taking! Law imprints are there for the comprehending!"
"It’s like everyone has joined an immensely powerful faction!"
"That’s why the Path of Deities is also called the Stairway of Inheritance! The Stairway of Opportunity!"
"If someone is a true genius, even if they’ve never had a Cultivation Technique to practice with before, they can advance rapidly as long as they set foot on the Path of Deities!"
"The Path of Deities lasts for a full five years! In five years, someone with peerless talent can grow to a terrifyingly formidable level!"
"The Human Race Eternal Saint Hall’s Path of Deities won’t overlook any peerless genius who lacks strength simply because they didn’t have a Cultivation Technique!"
Never joined a powerful faction? Couldn’t get a good Cultivation Technique? Lacked good training conditions?
The Human Race Eternal Saint Hall would give you all of that! What’s more, they’d give you a full five years to grow!
As long as you were a genius, five years, combined with so many opportunities, was more than enough time to rise to prominence!
It had been less than two years since Li Yang himself had broken through to the Law Realm!
If there were geniuses comparable to him, one could only imagine their growth rate over five years!
You could be sure that countless Law Realm experts throughout the Human Race were going wild right now!
At this moment, the Law Realm geniuses across the countless star systems of the Human Race had indeed gone wild.
"Haha, the Path of Deities has appeared!"
"I, Basra, a peerless genius, have always been targeted by those bastards, preventing me from getting any decent Cultivation Technique! This time, with the appearance of the Path of Deities, who can stand in the way of my, Basra’s, path to greatness?"
"I am Barton! The strongest expert on my home planet is only in the Longevity Realm, and our cultivation environment is terrible! This time, I will use the opportunities on the Path of Deities to advance swiftly and lead my planet to glory!"
Countless Law Realm experts, especially those who lacked Cultivation Techniques and resources, were beside themselves with excitement.
They lacked everything and practiced with run-of-the-mill Cultivation Techniques. Now, countless opportunities were on the horizon!
On Earth, Soul Ink continued, "So, Li Yang, your current strength isn’t enough to be recruited into the Human Race Eternal Saint Hall just yet. However, you can still continue to improve during these five years! If you make enough progress, you’ll have a chance."
Li Yang took a deep breath. "Five years." A surge of excitement and thrill coursed through him.
’Every Law Realm expert in the Human Race, rapidly improving on the stairway of the Path of Deities, relying on its countless opportunities!’
’This truly is the grandest event for geniuses in the entire Human Race!’
His heart pounding with excitement, Li Yang continued reading the competition rules.
"The Path of Deities has three thousand steps. Those who pass one thousand steps of the Path of Deities within five years can enter the second round of selection..."
’Although the first trial is about providing countless opportunities, the stairway obviously has some restrictions. If your comprehension isn’t deep enough and your progress isn’t significant, you won’t be able to ascend to the higher steps, let alone pass a thousand of them.’
"Passing one thousand steps on the Path of Deities means your strength will be a match for the Early Longevity Realm. Clearing this stage isn’t difficult; the hard part comes later. Li Yang, you must work hard. If you truly enter the Human Race Eternal Saint Hall, with your Thunder Star Beast and Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon doppelgängers, your path to supremacy will be unstoppable!" Soul Ink said with a smile.
"A match for the Early Longevity Realm?"
Li Yang nodded. According to Soul Ink, anyone who passed the first trial of the Human Race Saint Hall’s Path of Deities would possess the strength to fight an Early Longevity Realm expert while still in the Law Realm!
The thought of battling countless geniuses made Li Yang’s blood boil with excitement!
"Sign up!"
