Chapter 2176 The Origin Of The Universe! The Limit Of The Cosmos Stage! (2)
"Which path?" w.a.n.g Teng was stunned. This question was a little familiar. His expression turned strange.
"I see that your spirit is powerful. Do you want to major in spirit?" The white-haired middle-aged man asked.
"I don"t major in spirit." w.a.n.g Teng shook his head.
"Your Force cultivation is not bad too. That means that you major in Force," the white-haired middle-aged man said. "Which Forces do you plan to use?"
"Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, poison, ice, light!" w.a.n.g Teng counted with his fingers and replied honestly.
Well, he shouldn"t say anything about Dark Force.
The white-haired middle-aged man: …
"Master?" w.a.n.g Teng felt a little guilty.
"Do you have all these Forces?" The white-haired middle-aged man looked at w.a.n.g Teng and asked.
"Yes." w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
The middle-aged man with white hair had a profound gaze, seemingly lost in thought. He said, "Little one, you have surprised me."
"You"re too kind," w.a.n.g Teng replied.
"I"m not praising you," The white-haired man said. "Do you know what the consequences are of cultivating so many types of Forces simultaneously?"
"I know," w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
"Do you still want to continue?" The man asked indifferently.
"Yes!" w.a.n.g Teng said firmly.
"Good!" The white-haired man looked at him deeply and remarked, "You have extraordinary spirit. Even your senior brother and sister are not as impressive as you."
"Master, is this a compliment?" w.a.n.g Teng asked carefully.
"Yes!" The white-haired middle-aged man replied.
"In that case, thank you," w.a.n.g Teng said with a cheerful smile.
"So, you"re planning to focus on cultivating Forces," The white-haired man shook his head and commented.
"To be honest, master, my development in various aspects is relatively balanced. Whether it"s spiritual strength, Forces, physical strength, and so on, there are no weaknesses. So, in a sense, I am focusing on all of them," w.a.n.g Teng explained with a shy smile.
This statement might sound a bit boastful, but it was the truth.
The white-haired man didn"t expect w.a.n.g Teng to say such things, and even he, for a moment, was left speechless.
In the past, he was the one who excelled in showing off, but today, he found himself being outdone by this newly-accepted disciple. It was truly a first in his life.
For some reason, the white-haired middle-aged man felt relieved.
His first two disciples were not as adept as him in the art of showing off.
"Master, can"t I?" w.a.n.g Teng noticed the white-haired middle-aged man"s silence and thought that he had angered him. He called him carefully.
"In my experience, your situation is unprecedented." The middle-aged man with white hair spoke after a moment of silence. He looked calmly at w.a.n.g Teng and said, "Though in my philosophy, all paths lead to the summit, and one can reach the pinnacle regardless of the chosen route, I must admit, your choice is the most challenging."
"Let me ask you once more, are you certain you want to proceed?"
"Yes." w.a.n.g Teng nodded without any hesitation.
He had long contemplated this question. Without the presence of the system, he would not have made this choice. But since the opportunity was laid before him, he couldn"t afford to miss it.
"Good!" The middle-aged man with white hair, whether relieved or harboring complex emotions, glanced at him and nodded. "Since you"ve chosen this path, I will support you."
With a casual wave of his hand, a transparent sphere the size of a head appeared in front of w.a.n.g Teng, emitting a faint and ethereal glow as it hovered in mid-air.
"This object is the Origin of a Universe. I happened to pa.s.s by a universe on the brink of destruction in my earlier years and condensed it into existence. Now, I bestow it upon you."
"The Origin of a Universe!" w.a.n.g Teng"s eyes widened in astonishment. He had heard about this treasure from Round Ball. It was said to be an extremely rare item that could only be obtained from within a secret realm, and few were fortunate enough to possess it.
The last time he entered the Chaotic Uncharted, he didn"t get the origin of the universe even though his gains were not bad.
Reflecting on it later, he couldn"t help but feel a tinge of regret.
Yet, his master was able to take out the origin of the universe so easily. This was unbelievable.
If Round Ball were present, its eyes would likely widen in disbelief.
What it had mentioned about others obtaining the Origin of a Universe in the past seemed trivial compared to the colossal sphere before him.
The middle-aged man"s earlier words hinted that this particular Origin of a Universe was extracted from a universe on the brink of demise, making it a complete and intact cosmic source.
It was unlike the mere fractions acquired by previous martial warriors.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Teng could distinctly sense the peculiar power emanating from the Origin of a Universe. It seemed to encapsulate the most fundamental forces of the universe. With just a slight exposure to the radiance emanating from the transparent sphere, he felt as if his entire being was undergoing a sublime transformation.
"Do you know what the cosmos stage is?"
The middle-aged man glanced at w.a.n.g Teng, not affording him a chance to respond before continuing.
"To reach the cosmos stage is to birth a small universe within a warrior"s body. Upon absorbing this Origin of a Universe, the Inner Cosmos will tend towards perfection, leading to a metamorphosis and elevation of the soul and physique."
"Martial warriors at the cosmos stage should be able to reach the limit of the cosmos stage after absorbing the Origin of a Universe of this magnitude!"
"The limit of the cosmos stage?" w.a.n.g Teng repeated in surprise.
"Every realm has its limits, but those who truly reach them are exceedingly rare. Generally, the deeper the foundation within each stage, the stronger one"s abilities become. Upon advancing to the next stage, the strength also surpa.s.ses those of the same stage. To go far, one must have a profound foundation, reaching the limits is the best outcome," The middle-aged man patiently explained.
"What happens after reaching the limits?" w.a.n.g Teng inquired curiously.
"Nothing special. It merely means invincibility within the same stage," The middle-aged man replied nonchalantly.
"Invincibility within the same realm!" w.a.n.g Teng raised an eyebrow, fell silent for a moment, and internally quipped, "Quite the "nothing special.""
He had always believed that defeating all geniuses at the same stage would make him invincible within that stage. However, it now seemed that true invincibility required pus.h.i.+ng the boundaries of the stage to its limits.
And achieving these limits appeared to be an immensely challenging feat.
Without sufficient opportunities, it was simply impossible.
Regarding the Origin of a Universe before him, w.a.n.g Teng dared to a.s.sert that even a true G.o.d-stage powerhouse might struggle to produce such a treasure.
"Let"s merge. I"ll protect you," The white-haired middle-aged man said.
"Alright," w.a.n.g Teng nodded without hesitation. He seated himself in a meditative posture, his gaze fixed upon the transparent sphere.
With a casual gesture from the middle-aged man, the transparent sphere floated toward w.a.n.g Teng, gradually merging into his body from above.
Boom!
In an instant, w.a.n.g Teng felt a shock throughout his body. A peculiar force erupted within his Inner Cosmos, transforming into wisps of transparent energy that swept through his entire internal universe, reaching every corner.
The transformation was starting!
Outside, the middle-aged man with white hair watched w.a.n.g Teng with a gaze that carried a hint of complexity.
This individual was the most unique genius he had encountered.
And also the most gifted!
"Could you be the person I am seeking?" The middle-aged man mumbled to himself.
The voice was so soft that no one would have heard it.
As time pa.s.sed, w.a.n.g Teng completely absorbed the Origin of a Universe. Slowly opening his eyes, he sensed that his entire being had transformed. Unable to resist, he glanced at his attribute panel.
Origin Of Life: 118000
Origin Of Soul: 118000
Spirit: 20000/236000 (cosmos realm)
My Origin Of Life and Origin Of Soul have both increased! There"s also my Spirit attribute. It"s already at the perfected stage but there"s a new limit now. 236,000 points. It"s going to increase again! Is this the limit? w.a.n.g Teng was surprised.
He clenched his fist and instantly felt a subtle metamorphosis in his physical form, as if his body had undergone a profound transformation, making his strength incredibly formidable.
Boom!
A punch erupted, creating a resounding explosion in the air. The s.p.a.ce twisted collapsed, and then shattered, revealing a pitch-black void of nothingness.
The might of a single punch was terrifying!
"So powerful!" w.a.n.g Teng marveled. His physical strength was already formidable, capable of rivaling a heaven-stage martial warrior. Now, it seemed to have become even more potent, a development that was nothing short of incredible.
