538. The Secret of Nine Heavenly Thunders

Everyone waited in silence. The area outside the tribulation grounds suddenly became eerily quiet. Lin Fei had successfully transcended all nine thunders, meaning he had completely passed his sixth tribulation. The tribulation ceased not by his choice, but because the thunder itself had vanished. Continuing to seize laws would initiate the seventh tribulation, so Lin Fei also stopped.

Many speculated that completely transcending a tribulation, meaning withstanding all nine thunders, might bring unexpected rewards. But what these rewards could be, no one knew, as nobody had witnessed it before.

Lin Fei, too, waited quietly, sensing that the sea of origin was brewing something.

Time passed slowly, and Lin Fei remained patient, calm, and collected. He was certain that whatever was brewing in the sea of origin had to be beneficial. After all, what could be worse than facing the tribulation? The worst was behind him.

"Swoosh."

Suddenly, the sea of origin trembled. At the same time, a burst of seven-colored brilliance shot out from within, enveloping Lin Fei.

"Whoosh."

Everyone was astounded. They all witnessed the seven-colored light, their excitement palpable.

"There really is something happening."

"Withstanding nine thunders brings an unexpected reward. What could it be?"

"What is this seven-colored light?"

"Perhaps only True Monarch Lin can know..."

Curiosity and anticipation filled the eyes of the onlookers, eager to know the significance of the seven-colored light. Only Lin Fei knew the answer. When the light enveloped him, he found himself in a fantastical illusion.

"A fantasy?"

Lin Fei, familiar with illusions due to his control over Shen and his ability to manipulate minds with illusions, instantly became alert. However, this illusion did not seem to have any intent to control Lin Fei's mind.

In this illusion, he was surrounded by darkness. Then, suddenly, a dazzling light appeared, along with a powerful force spreading in all directions, dispelling the darkness around him. What appeared before Lin Fei was a vast, primitive world devoid of life.

Laws, rules, and origins of the world were all exposed in the void without any order, making the world seem incredibly unstable as if it could collapse at any moment.

"Is this the process of a world's birth? The very beginning of a world?" Lin Fei pondered. "Is this because I plundered world laws? So, having withstood the nine thunders, I get to experience the birth of a world to deepen my understanding of world laws? After all, world laws are intrinsically related to the creation of a world."

Lin Fei had an epiphany. He began to understand what the seven-colored light signified.

Soon, the light disappeared, and Lin Fei opened his eyes.

"Creating a world..." He couldn't help but feel enlightened by this experience, deepening his understanding of world laws and the concept of "Dao." Lin Fei knew that his ultimate goal was to comprehend the "Dao of the World." To master a complete Dao, he still had a long way to go.

"This time, it was only the beginning of a world's birth. So, if I withstand nine thunders again, might I witness a complete world formation next time?" Lin Fei pondered, contemplating the potential implications of his newfound insights and experiences.

Lin Fei held a sense of anticipation in his heart. The birth of a world is not merely a simple event. Many worlds collapse soon after their creation. After its birth, a world needs stabilization, which requires world laws, rules, order, and so on.

Lin Fei still had much to learn about these aspects. Experiencing them firsthand would undoubtedly accelerate his understanding. Eventually, mastering a complete Dao might not be out of reach.

The seven-colored light provided Lin Fei with an opportunity for profound insight, although it didn't significantly enhance his strength, certainly not as much as acquiring an additional law would have. However, for the ambition of becoming a Martial Ancestor, understanding the "Dao" is essential, even mandatory.

Moreover, Lin Fei's strength had already increased considerably with the acquisition of nine laws. If he were to create particle worlds with them, he would have nine hundred particle worlds. These would be created under the condition of his greatly enhanced particles, making their power far exceed his previous 2,600 particle worlds.

As Lin Fei left the formation and opened the gate, countless eyes instantly focused on him. Their gazes were filled with shock, envy, and admiration.

"True Monarch Lin has emerged."

"Can you tell us, after withstanding nine thunders, what was the seven-colored light?"

"Yes, what benefits did that light bring?"

"Withstanding nine thunders must bring unimaginable benefits."

Many were curious about what Lin Fei gained after withstanding the nine thunders. So far in history, he was the only one who had managed to withstand all nine thunders in a single tribulation.

Lin Fei glanced at the crowd. The benefits of the seven-colored light, although significant, were his secret to keep. The Dao should not be carelessly shared. Would he really reveal such knowledge so easily? If they truly wished to know, they would have to exchange something valuable for it.

So, Lin Fei declared in a firm voice, "If someone possesses the Saber Worlds, bring ten of them. In exchange, I will reveal what the seven-colored light signifies." With that, he stepped forward, transforming into a streak of light and vanishing from sight.

"What, ten Saber Worlds?"

"Where can we find ten Saber Worlds?"

"For Martial Gods, acquiring Saber Worlds is not difficult."

"But even if we know this secret, what's the use? Can anyone else withstand nine heavenly thunders?"

"Indeed, even if we know, it's meaningless. Not everyone can withstand nine thunders. Knowing it would just add a bit more to our secret knowledge."

Many shook their heads. They weren't interested in chasing this spectacle. Knowing the secret wouldn't help their own strength, so why bother seeking out Saber Worlds?

However, the news of Lin Fei withstanding nine thunders and the emergence of the seven-colored light, along with the unexpected benefits he received, spread quickly. The news was too sensational to ignore. Withstanding nine thunders in a single tribulation was unheard of.

Furthermore, people understood that starting from the eighth thunder, the difficulty level reached that of a True Monarch. Below that level, attempting to invoke the eighth thunder was almost certain death. In this regard, Lin Fei contributed to the understanding of the Martial Gods' tribulation process.
