Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

477. The Second Layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra

As the third bolt of thunder struck, Lin Fei's physical body was almost entirely annihilated, including nearly half of his hundred particle worlds. He was unable to withstand the third thunderbolt on his own.

Fortunately, Lin Fei's world laws came to the rescue, immediately sealing the third bolt. Although the thunderbolt broke the seal, its force was largely spent, gradually weakening and finally being withstood by Lin Fei's physical body.

In the end, everything settled, leaving Lin Fei with only about one-tenth of his physical body intact. It was indeed a dangerous gamble, but worth the risk, as Lin Fei gained three world laws from this tribulation.

Each world law could create a hundred particle worlds, so with three new laws, Lin Fei could create an additional three hundred particle worlds.

Moreover, these new worlds, strengthened by the more potent world laws, were far more powerful than his previous ones. This cumulative increase in power was not merely threefold, but potentially five or even ten times greater.

Feeling the three new world laws within him, Lin Fei began integrating them with his Original world laws. Without hesitation, he commenced the creation of new particle worlds. The vast world laws supported the simultaneous creation of multiple particle worlds.

"Boom!"

One after another, new particle worlds were created, each enhancing Lin Fei's physical strength further. In a short time, he added three hundred new particle worlds to his body, bringing the total to four hundred.

Lin Fei opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashing within them as he called upon the system panel to review his status.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Realm: Martial Gods (First Thunder Tribulation)

Great Dream Heart Sutra: First Layer (Progress 1%)

Four Symbols and Five Elements Creation Method: Four Hundred Particle Worlds

Lin Fei's martial realm was now that of a Martial God who had passed the first Thunder Tribulation. Furthermore, he had successfully created four hundred particle worlds through the Four Symbols and Five Elements Creation Method, making him incredibly powerful. The only weak point was the Great Dream Heart Sutra, still at the first layer.

However, with plenty of contribution points at his disposal, acquiring the second layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra was not a problem. Rising, Lin Fei left the formation. As he did, countless eyes outside the formation immediately focused on him.

"It's him, the one who acquired three laws in a single Thunder Tribulation."

"Indeed a new face, truly incredible."

"Great Dream Sect has gained another powerful member."

"Though he has only passed one tribulation, his strength is unfathomable."

"Perhaps the Great Dream Sect might produce another Martial Ancestor in the future!"

"Leaving aside Martial Ancestors, reaching True Monarch is quite probable."

In no time, information about Lin Fei spread among the various powers of the Ancient Covenant. The Great Dream Sect, being a significant force, naturally drew attention when it gained a new official member, especially one capable of enduring three bolts of thunder in a single tribulation.

Lin Fei, accustomed to being the center of attention, paid no mind to the whispers and gazes. No matter how low-key he tried to be, his presence was as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark night.

Accepting the inevitability of attention, Lin Fei, as a Martial God, felt no need for undue concern. In the Ancient Covenant, a Martial God might not be a titan but was certainly not to be underestimated. Killing a Martial God was no easy feat.

Returning to the inn, Lin Fei contemplated his situation. An inn was not the most convenient place for him; he needed his own residence. However, having just arrived in the Ancient Covenant, there was no rush. His priority was to acquire the second layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra. With twelve thousand contribution points at his disposal, enough for the ten thousand required for the sutra, Lin Fei didn't hesitate. He immediately went to make the exchange.

"Senior brother, I need to exchange for the second layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra."

Lin Fei arrived at the exchange location in the Great Dream City and faced a True Monarch, a grand Martial God. The True Monarch nodded, confirmed Lin Fei's identity, and deducted ten thousand contribution points. Then, with a single tap on Lin Fei's forehead, a world of information flooded Lin Fei's mind.

"Like bubbles in a dream, seeming real and yet illusory..." These profound and esoteric words were the teachings of the second layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra, imparted directly into Lin Fei's mind without any written instruction. This knowledge would gradually fade from memory if not learned, but Lin Fei didn't face this difficulty. As soon as the voice echoed in his mind, the system's voice immediately followed:

"You have obtained the second layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra."

"Your first layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra is now complete."

"You have advanced to the second layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra."

Lin Fei had thus broken through. It turned out that no profound comprehension was needed; acquiring the second layer's mantra automatically perfected the first layer. This was due to Lin Fei's "effort" in the first layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra.

Receiving the second layer's teachings was like enlightenment, instantly completing his understanding and saving him a lot of time. He smoothly transitioned to the second layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra.

The second layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra didn't offer any offensive or defensive powers. Its main benefit was the ability to enter the second level of the dream state.

With a thought, Lin Fei entered this second layer. Upon entering, his surroundings undulated like ripples in water, eventually calming down. He noticed he was still in the Great Dream City, but it was much quieter, with fewer people around. He also felt that the Great Dream City seemed more real.

"Is the second layer of the dream state even more realistic?" Lin Fei pondered.

Lin Fei found it strange. He was fully aware that he was in the second layer of the dream state, yet the more he realized this, the more astonished he became. Contrary to expectations, his surroundings didn't become more illusory; they appeared even more real. In fact, Lin Fei was now unable to discern what was reality and what was part of the dream.

The second layer of the dream state allowed control over the flow of time. With just a thought from Lin Fei, time sped up dramatically, moving at ten times the normal speed. Yet, he couldn't perceive this acceleration himself. To him, everything seemed as it always had.

To test this, Lin Fei deliberately stayed in the second layer for ten hours before leaving the dream state and the Great Dream City.

"Hmm? Indeed, only one hour has passed in the real world, but I truly experienced ten hours in the second layer of the dream state." He pondered, "Even Dao Integration True Immortals can't control time, can they? The Great Dream Heart Sutra is truly miraculous..."

Lin Fei intuited that the Great Dream Heart Sutra didn't actually control time but rather related to perception. Nonetheless, this ability of the sutra was incredibly wondrous, a truly unique scripture. No wonder the creator of the Great Dream Heart Sutra, one of the eight great Martial Ancestors of the Ancient Covenant, was revered for such profound and unparalleled mysticism.
