Day after day, year after year.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already the tenth year that Ou Yangming had arrived at this place.
The young man who sat in the middle of the Enlightenment Pavilion had grown into an adult.
His long hair draped over his shoulders, and his sharp chin and mouth were covered with a beard.
“Huff… Huff…” After letting out a long breath, Ou Yangming opened his eyes.
“No, it still won’t work. This last step is impossible to cross.”
During this period, Ou Yangming had been studying the powers of laws. The Enlightenment Pavilion had conned countless people and contained all kinds of powers of laws. Cultivating here did not require one to painstakingly comprehend the laws. As long as one chose a power of law and fused one’s mental power into it, one could feel the evolution process of this power from the beginning to the end.
The beginning was the law boundary, and the end was the peak of the third step.
In 10 years, Ou Yangming had seen a lot of law powers, and his understanding of them had reached an extremely profound level.
Nonetheless, he still could not break through the threshold of the third step.
This was a bottleneck. No matter how proficient one’s control of the law powers was, or how amazing one’s comprehension was, as long as one could not break through this bottleneck, everything would be for naught.
In these 10 years, Ou Yangming had tried countless times, but he was still unable to break through to the third step of the law of Yin and Yang.
Of course, it was not without gains.
Compared to 10 years ago, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. The power of the law of Yin and Yang had reached the peak of the second step. Not only that, but Ou Yangming had also evolved the law of time to the second step.
In other words, he had now grasped 2 laws of the second step.
The path of Law Cultivation was fraught with difficulties. It was usually very difficult to comprehend one. Those who comprehended 2 laws could be called geniuses.
Moreover, Ou Yangming’s laws were not ordinary laws. The law of Yin and Yang was also a high-level law, and the law of time was even more so.
Time was king, and space was supreme. The law of time was the most powerful existence of all laws, and it was also the most difficult to cultivate.
Next was the law of space.
There were countless laws in the Enlightenment Pavilion. Ou Yangming had also learned the law of space and had preliminarily fathomed it.
3 laws were already the limit of a human.
Ou Yangming also knew the principle of biting off more than one could chew. What he needed the most at this time was not to control more powers of laws, but to push one to the third step. Even a thousand troops and horses could not stop an invincible general. The most important thing for him at the moment was to break through the stone door and walk out from here.
There were still 40 years left, which seemed very long.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming knew very well that if he could not break through the bottleneck, even if he cultivated for 400 years, it would not be of any use.
Just a few decades was really nothing to an expert at Ou Yangming’s level.
It was not even comparable to the time that other experts spent in closed-door cultivation.
Ou Yangming was a little distracted, so he decided to start from another direction. It was not wise to fight to the death, especially when the time was limited and his life was in danger.
He took out the dark Meteorite from his interspatial bag.
Ou Yangming thought to himself, ‘If I merge the Meteorite into the Reincarnation Spear, it’ll definitely improve the quality of the spear. By then, I might be able to break through the stone door.”
A Low Grade Taoist Tool was already pretty good. With Ou Yangming’s strength, it was enough. Even so, it was still not enough to break through the stone door.
Ou Yangming had tested it a few times. When the Reincarnation Spear hit the stone door, it could not even leave a mark on it. From this, it could be seen that the quality of the stone door was not ordinary. At least in terms of hardness, it had reached the level of a Taoist Tool.
The young fellow stretched out his hand, and the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron flew out. Then, it gradually became bigger and fell to the ground.
Putting the Meteorite inside, Ou Yangming’s expression gradually became serious.
Afterward, the purple Heavenly Phoenix Fire tightly surrounded the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. The flames were fierce, and the powers of laws in the sky hurriedly dodged away.
The Meteorite was extremely sturdy. Even if an ordinary refiner obtained it, it was almost impossible to refine it. However, Ou Yangming was different. He controlled the highest level of the Heavenly Phoenix Fire, and he also had the Innate Spirit Treasure, the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. Even the Meteorite could not withstand it.
A hot air current came from the air, and a wave of heat came from the surface. The temperature in the Enlightenment Pavilion seemed to have increased a lot.
The Meteorite melted into liquid bit by bit. Seeing this scene, Ou Yangming thought, ‘If I put the big door into the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, I can probably melt it too. Unfortunately, the door is fixed there and can’t be put into the cauldron.’
After melting the Meteorite, Ou Yangming put the Reincarnation Spear into the cauldron.
Ou Yangming carefully controlled the flames. The Meteorite was a treasure at the beginning of the world. It was extremely rare and could not be wasted.
It was not an easy thing to fuse with the Meteorite, but Ou Yangming had long been familiar with smithing. Even if he used a new material, it would not be difficult for him. He was not in a hurry to smith the Reincarnation Spear again. He took one step at a time, not letting go of any details.
After a long time, a long spear was formed again.
Compared to the Reincarnation Spear, this spear was even more gorgeous. It carried a terrifying aura.
A mysterious yellow Heaven-opening Qi!
This was the aura carried by the Meteorite. Now, it had perfectly fused with the Reincarnation Spear.
The color of the Reincarnation Spear had also undergone a great change. It had changed from its previous silver-white color to a dark-black color.
Ou Yangming waved his hand. The purple Heavenly Phoenix Flame gradually extinguished, and the temperature on the cauldron also quickly dissipated.
Within the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, a dark-black long spear flew out.
Ou Yangming stretched out his hand and grabbed the long spear tightly in his hand.
“What a treasure! What a treasure!”
Looking at the long spear that just came out of the cauldron, Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with excitement. The size of the long spear did not look much different from before, but its weight was more than 10 times greater. The small long spear weighed 5,000 kilograms, and 90% of it came from the weight of the Meteorite.
After using his blood to make the spear recognize him as its master, information about the long spear gradually appeared in Ou Yangming’s mind.
A High Grade Taoist Tool!
As expected, the level of the Reincarnation Spear had increased by 2 levels, reaching the level of a High Grade Taoist Tool.
How precious a High Grade Taoist Tool was could be seen from the fragments of the Nine-sworded Ruler’s soul. Even in their ancient world, High Grade Taoist Tools were only legendary existences. Only beings such as the alliance master of the Heavenly Path Alliance were qualified to possess such legendary magic treasures.
As for people like the Nine-sworded Ruler, most of the weapons they used were Low Grade Taoist Tools, and some of the poorer ones were only High Grade magic tools.
The Reincarnation Spear’s name was still the Reincarnation Spear. It had somewhat been remade, but Ou Yangming did not change its name.
Ou Yangming did not know that there were also gaps between High Grade Taoist Tools. Even among High Grade Taoist Tools, the Reincarnation Spear was one of the top-notch weapons. This came from the mysterious yellow Heaven-opening Qi on the Reincarnation Spear. With that, it was equivalent to having the qualification to advance to an Innate Spirit Treasure.
As for the other Taoist Tools, even if they had the ability to advance, their peak was fixed. They were nothing more than High Grade Taoist Tools.
Ou Yangming did not think so much. The main reason he advanced the quality of the Reincarnation Spear was to break open the stone door. This was the most important thing. If he could not break open the stone door, even if he had countless magic treasures and comprehended 100 types of law powers, it would be useless.
After the Reincarnation Spear acknowledged its master again, Ou Yangming held the spear and walked toward the stone door.
Now that his law powers had increased a lot, and he had even smithed a High Grade Taoist Tool, the Reincarnation Spear, he should be able to give it a try.
Ou Yangming’s eyes flashed with anticipation.
The Reincarnation Spear was incredibly heavy. If it was not for the fact that he had fused so many Dripping Blood Stones in the Fallen Land, he would have used up a lot of spiritual power. Now, he could easily swing the spear, and his strength was more than enough.
“Boom!”
The long spear broke through the air and hit the stone door at the speed of light.
Consequently, the Enlightenment Pavilion shook, and the sound was as ear-piercing as thunder.
A hole the size of a grain of rice finally appeared on the stone.
Although it was very small, it was still discovered by Ou Yangming.
“So powerful!”
Ou Yangming had to admit that the strength of the owner of this place was unfathomable. Just this stone door alone had left him in a terrible state.
One had to know that with Ou Yangming’s boundary at the moment, he could already be considered a top-notch almighty expert in the Great Wide World. He would not be afraid even if he faced a power house in the third step.
In any case, at the very least, there was now hope.
Compared to his previous lack of achievements, this hole the size of a grain of rice made Ou Yangming very happy.
Constant perseverance would yield success. There were still 40 years left before the final deadline. As long as Ou Yangming continuously attacked the same place, perhaps he would be able to poke a hole in this stone door after just a few years.
With hope, he would be motivated. He attacked again and again.
The muscles on his arms bulged, and all the spiritual power in his body gathered on the Reincarnation Spear.
“Rumble!” Waves of explosions continued.
Ou Yangming’s eardrums were ringing. He closed his hearing and attacked again and again as if he wanted to vent all his strength on this stone door.
Hope was beautiful, but the reality was abnormally cruel.
After striking the stone door for an hour, Ou Yangming was exhausted, and the spiritual power in his body had been squandered.
That said, at this moment, he realized that his crazy attacks just now were just a waste of energy.
The gap on the stone door did not increase, and it was actually healing bit by bit.
