"What kind of trial is it?" Luo Feng asked hurriedly. He certainly wanted the treasure.
But who knows what kind of trial Chen Yuan has prepared for him? This must be clarified.
After all, if he failed to complete the task, not only would he lose the treasure Chen Yuan had promised, but he would also lose a piece of the Wu assassination talisman.
"The trial is not difficult for you."
Chen Yuan smiled and, without keeping them in suspense, said, "It's about mental will, which is Earthlings' forte."
"Mental will?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up.
If that's the case, then Chen Yuan is right; that is indeed his strength.
"Don't worry, the trial I've prepared for you, although it's quite difficult, will definitely be one that you can complete."
"The so-called bet is just to put some pressure on you, hoping that you will do your best to complete the test."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "How about it? Want to give it a try?"
Luo Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Alright, then I'll take on the challenge."
"But what exactly is the test?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled. "I've already agreed to participate, so you should tell me, right?"
"No rush," Chen Yuan said with a smile. "Give me a day to prepare, and you'll find out then."
"One day? Okay."
Although he didn't know what Chen Yuan was up to, he could wait a day.
Luo Feng had only been studying "Time and Space Notes" for a short while when Chen Yuan called him over, saying it was time to leave.
The two arrived at the empty training ground. Luo Feng looked around but still saw nothing. He shook his head and said, "You're being so mysterious. Now you can finally tell us, right?"
"certainly."
Chen Yuan raised his hand, and a beam of light flew out, growing larger as it was carried by the wind, instantly transforming into a nine-story pagoda tens of kilometers high, its entire body gleaming with a bright white light.
"This is the treasure I have prepared for you: the Thousand Hearts Nine Hells Tower."
Chen Yuan pointed to the white pagoda and introduced it as: "A top-tier, supreme-treasure-level flying palace that can defend against material attacks from the Lord of the Universe and reduce soul attacks. Its flight speed can reach 1100 times the speed of light."
"Most importantly, I have endowed this treasure with the ability to attack the will of the enemy."
"Attack the enemy's will?" Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise. "Will can be used to attack?"
"Of course you can," Chen Yuan explained. "Have you ever encountered a powerful being releasing pressure in the virtual universe before? That kind of pressure is actually a form of willpower suppression, a simple application of willpower."
"The true secret techniques of attacking willpower are countless times more complex than this method, and the threshold for cultivation is extremely high."
As he spoke, Chen Yuan explained the true power of the secret art of will, leaving Luo Feng dumbfounded.
"Of course, as long as you activate the Nine Prisons Tower, you can launch a will attack on the enemy even without the willpower secret technique."
At this point, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "At the level of cultivators in the Primordial Universe, there are no effective defensive means in this regard. As long as you can master the means of attacking with your will, killing enemies above your level will be as easy as eating and drinking."
"That's amazing!" Luo Feng's eyes widened in surprise. "Wait, you actually managed to refine this ability into a treasure? Doesn't that mean Chen Yuan, you've mastered the secret technique of willpower attack?"
"Yes." Chen Yuan didn't try to hide it, after all, he figured that if the alien races had already guessed it, the human race would find out sooner or later.
Luo Feng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
In just a few hundred years, Chen Yuan has become even more unfathomable.
Whether it was the ability to refine supreme treasures or this unheard-of secret technique of willpower attack, both broadened Luo Feng's horizons.
Furthermore, he was quite interested in this secret technique of attacking willpower.
After all, according to Chen Yuan's description, as long as one's will is stronger than the opponent's, one can severely damage the opponent's will through the secret technique of will, causing them to fall into a coma and be at the mercy of others.
If the difference in will between the two sides is even greater, they can directly kill the opponent through the secret technique of will, without any means of defense!
It's no wonder Luo Feng was tempted by such a powerful secret technique, after all, willpower has always been one of his strengths.
Through hundreds of years of cultivation, especially after breaking through to the Realm Lord level, Luo Feng felt that his willpower had increased again, perhaps reaching the King level.
If such a powerful will can be utilized, it will be like adding wings to a tiger in order to enhance his strength!
Chen Yuan seemed to have seen through Luo Feng's thoughts, and immediately smiled and said, "If you are interested in this kind of secret technique, I can teach you."
"Oh?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up.
"However—" Chen Yuan changed the subject, "If you want to learn the secret art of willpower, you also need to complete the trial."
"After all, the threshold for mastering the secret arts of willpower is quite high. With your current strength of willpower, you are still far from being able to even begin."
"The threshold is that high?" Luo Feng was immediately surprised: "My willpower is comparable to that of a king."
"The first level of my secret technique of will requires the will of a cosmic sage."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Do you think the difference is big or not?"
"A Universe Venerable-level will!" Luo Feng's eyes widened in disbelief. "This is too difficult!"
Although his willpower has reached the level of a king, he has only barely reached the level of a king, and is still far from the peak of kingship.
Not to mention, breaking through from the peak of the King to the Universe Venerable is an incredibly difficult feat.
Even though Luo Feng was quite confident in his willpower talent, he wasn't sure he could reach the Venerable level of willpower at the Realm Lord stage.
Unless he breaks through to immortality, the improvement in his life level will also lead to an improvement in his will, then he will have a chance to break through the limit.
"That's why I said you're only qualified to practice this secret technique if you complete the trial."
Chen Yuan smiled.
"All right."
Luo Feng had no choice but to temporarily set aside his desire for the secret technique and nodded, saying, "The trial you mentioned, is it related to this treasure tower?"
With such a large tower standing here, it's hard for Luo Feng not to make connections.
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Besides the functions I just mentioned, this Thousand Hearts Nine Prisons Tower has one more crucial ability."
"I named it the Trial of Hell 119."
"The Nine Hells Trial? That doesn't sound like a good thing." Luo Feng blinked. "Is it related to mental will?"
"That's right."
Chen Yuan explained, "The Nine Prisons Tower has nine levels. Each level presents a test of willpower. Only by passing the test of one level can you enter the next level."
"The number of levels you pass through also represents your level of control over this treasure."
"Once you control the first level, the Nine Hell Tower will possess the performance of an ordinary treasure."
"Mastering the fourth level, a supreme treasure."
"Mastering the seventh level, a supreme treasure."
"The ninth level is the pinnacle of top-tier treasures, just one step away from becoming a supreme treasure."
After a pause, Chen Yuan added, "Like the willpower secret technique I just mentioned, you can obtain it by passing the seventh level."
"As for the Nine Hell Tower's will attack ability, you will need to pass through the ninth floor and fully master this treasure before you can use it."
"Do you understand?"
Luo Feng blinked, looking puzzled. "The ordinary treasures and high-grade treasures you mentioned, are they part of the treasure category?"
Luo Feng, who only possesses one ordinary treasure so far, is indeed unaware of any information about treasures, and his teacher has not mentioned them either.
After all, no matter how talented Luo Feng is, he is only a Realm Lord now, far from the level of a Supreme Treasure, so the Chaos City Lord naturally wouldn't explain these things to him.
Anyway, these are just common sense. When Luo Feng becomes stronger and enters this circle, he will naturally understand these basics.
However, Chen Yuan didn't think too much about it. Seeing that the other party didn't understand, he explained to him the classification and grade of the treasures, as well as the value of each category.
"Do you see the Qianbao River?"
Chen Yuan pointed to the enormous river shimmering with light in the sky above the secret realm and said, "This is your teacher, the Chaos City Lord's, famous treasure, the Thousand Treasures River, a top-tier domain-level treasure, whose value is comparable to my Nine Prisons Tower."
"No, if we include the means of attacking with willpower, the Nine Prisons Tower is even more valuable than the Thousand Treasures River."
"Unbelievable—" Luo Feng looked up at the river that stretched as far as the eye could see, and was deeply shocked. "So this wonder was formed by one of my teacher's treasures."
What he found even more unbelievable was that the treasure pagoda that Chen Yuan had refined was even more valuable than the Thousand Treasures River!
In the end, Luo Feng could only utter two words to express his shock: "Awesome!"
"Haha." Chen Yuan chuckled and continued to explain, "Now that you understand the Nine Prisons Tower, let me tell you about the specific requirements of the trial."
Seeing that Luo Feng was listening attentively, he said, "To pass the first trial and gain initial control over the Nine Prisons Tower, your will needs to reach the initial King level, and you need to steadily progress towards that level."
"With your current level of willpower, it's probably a bit of a stretch, but with proper training, you should be able to meet the requirements."
"Hmm." Luo Feng nodded, then said, "The first level is the initial stage of the King-level, so what about the second level? It wouldn't be the advanced stage of the King-level, would it?"
He thought to himself, if we follow this standard downwards, wouldn't it require the will of a universe master to fully master this treasure?
If that's the case, then it's an impossible requirement, at least not before he breaks through to the level of a Universe Venerable.
Fortunately, things weren't as Luo Feng had guessed. Chen Yuan chuckled and said, "How could it be that high!"
He paused for a moment, then continued to explain: "The first six levels of the Nine Hells Tower are divided into two stages, meaning that the first and second levels both belong to the initial level of being a King."
"Three and four, high-level kingship; five and six, peak kingship."
"As for the seventh to ninth levels, they represent the level of will from the initial Venerable to the advanced Venerable."
"I see." Luo Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although the difficulty of reaching the High-Level Venerable level was not low, fortunately, he had hope of achieving it after breaking through to Immortality.
However, he then heard Chen Yuan say, "Of course, these are the tests of the Nine Prisons Tower, but not my trials."
Luo Feng felt a slight sense of satisfaction.
Chen Yuan's expression turned serious as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly: "The trials I've prepared for you require you to fully master the Nine Prisons Tower at the Realm Lord stage!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, "This is impossible!"
"You want me to reach the level of a High-Level Venerable in the Realm Lord stage?!"
His face was filled with disbelief. "That's almost impossible!"
"Of course it can be done, believe me." Chen Yuan smiled. "For example, when I was the Realm Lord, my will reached this requirement, and it wasn't difficult."
"Luo Feng, we are both from the same Earth, I believe you can do it."
Upon hearing that Chen Yuan had accomplished this, Luo Feng gradually calmed down.
"Yes, if Chen Yuan can do this, why would I, who aspires to be like him, think it's impossible?"
He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and nodded: "I understand, I will try my best."
Seeing Luo Feng regain his fighting spirit, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "The test of the Nine Prisons Tower is very straightforward: it is continuous pain. You only need to resist it with your own will."
"Once your will meets the requirements, you can proceed to the next level of testing."
"Meets the requirements?" Luo Feng asked curiously, "What exactly are the requirements?"
"The requirements are different for each floor."
Chen Yuan said, "For example, on the first level, you need to stay inside for a full thousand years to complete the test. The second level is two thousand years, the third level is three thousand years, and so on."
"It really takes this long?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. "Even disregarding the time it would take to fail, if we successfully completed all the trials..."
That would take a full 45,000 years!
"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting that long." Chen Yuan smiled slightly. "When I was refining the Nine Prisons Tower, I added time law runes to it, so time can be controlled inside this treasure."
Luo Feng's eyes lit up.
"Of course, the adjustable time range is also related to the number of floors in the Nine Hells Tower," Chen Yuan said. "If you are on the first floor, you can adjust the acceleration by 100 times, and on the second floor it's 200 times."
"Up to the ninth level, you can obtain a speedup of up to nine hundred times."
Luo Feng asked with some anticipation, "If I complete a certain level of the test, the effect of adjusting the flow of time won't disappear, right?"
"Of course not," Chen Yuan said with a smile. "After all, this is also a reward for you. As long as you fully master a certain level, you can actively turn off the willpower tempering effect and simply enjoy the time acceleration of that level."
"That's great!" Luo Feng exclaimed excitedly upon hearing this.
A hundredfold acceleration! Even if it can't be used to comprehend the laws, it can increase his speed in researching the Beast God's intent and various secret techniques.
Once you reach the level of Beast God's intent, it will become much easier to comprehend the laws.
"Confronting pain is the trial I have prepared for you."
Chen Yuan said, "But there is more than one way to enhance one's willpower."
Luo Feng listened attentively.
"As I just told you, the full name of this treasure is the Thousand Hearts Nine Hells Tower."
After a pause, Chen Yuan continued, "What I just told you all belongs to the Nine Hells, which is a test of your will."
"The other part is called the Thousand Hearts Domain, which contains thousands of different kinds of illusions."
"By immersing yourself in these illusions, you will experience many different lives, forget your memories, and start a new life with a new identity."
"I named this method 'Refining the Heart in the Mortal World,' which is different from the will-tempering method of the Nine Hells Tower."
Chen Yuan blinked: "It seems like you're completely immersed in it, personally experiencing all sorts of joys and sorrows, but you can't let these experiences affect your true self. This is also a kind of willpower struggle."
"Of course, immersive illusions are only one type. I have also prepared lucid illusions for you, allowing you to traverse the mortal world."
"The Nine Hells Trial and the Mortal World Refinement: two paths, one firm and one gentle, are available for you to try."
"I believe that with your willpower and talent, you will definitely be able to reach the ninth level and successfully master the entire Nine Hell Tower."
"At that time, I will give you a great opportunity."
