Chapter 176: The Significance of the Life Scepter
Looking at the Life Scepter before him, Yang Ziyuan's heart was filled with confusion and resentment.
After all, this opportunity was rare.
If he failed to gain the Life Scepter's recognition now, he would likely have to wait until the next Heavenly Embryo Day.
However, this would severely impact his cultivation.
After all, he intended to utilize the unique environment here during future Heavenly Embryo Days to cultivate,
rather than waste time pondering the Life Scepter's intentions.
Therefore, he had to gain the Life Scepter's recognition as soon as possible.
With this thought, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
He began to carefully review all the information about the Life Scepter in his mind.
From Kui Yuan's account, he understood that the Life Scepter manifested on Heavenly Embryo Day to help young spirits who met the requirements reincarnate.
This meant that the Life Scepter was closely linked to the continuation of life.
Since the Life Scepter's mission was to promote the cycle of life, perhaps he could start from this perspective.
He decided to try to understand the cycle of life and find a way to resonate with the Life Scepter.
Yang Ziyuan sat cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the breath of life around him.
He tried to sense the young spirits' longing for life and their anticipation for a new beginning.
As time passed, Yang Ziyuan seemed to enter a wondrous realm.
He witnessed the cycle of life, from birth to growth, from aging to death, and then to the birth of a new life.
He felt the tenacity and endlessness of life.
In this process, Yang Ziyuan's heart gradually became peaceful and resolute.
He began to understand that the meaning of life lies not only in individual existence, but in the continuation of the entire chain of life.
When Yang Ziyuan awoke from this state, he noticed that the light on the Scepter of Life seemed to have changed.
It was no longer as cold as before, but had a gentler glow.
Seeing this, Yang Ziyuan's heart moved, and he slowly stood up and walked towards the Scepter of Life.
"Scepter of Life, I understand the cycle of life. I wish to use my power to protect the inheritance of life and bring new vitality to this world," Yang Ziyuan whispered.
The Scepter of Life trembled slightly, and a green light fell on Yang Ziyuan.
Instantly, Yang Ziyuan felt a new connection with the Scepter of Life.
At the same time, the voice of the Goddess of Life echoed in his mind.
"Little one, congratulations on completing the seventh of the Nine Trials of Life. Rewards: 200,000 years of age for all your spirit rings, one divinely bestowed spirit ring, and a 20% increase in affinity with the God of Life!"
"Nine Trials of Life, Eighth Trial! Within four years, achieve Peerless Douluo! Rewards: 500,000 years of age for all your spirit rings, one divinely bestowed spirit ring, and a 30% increase in affinity with the God of Life!"
Another Peerless Douluo?
It seemed the Destruction couple couldn't wait any longer; even the requirements for the eighth trial were identical!
But that was a good thing!
It saved him a lot of trouble!
Thinking of this, Yang Ziyuan felt the pressure on his shoulders ease, and the drive within him intensified!
At this moment, the Goddess of Life continued, "Little one, I hope you don't forget what you said. Furthermore, although you have the Scepter of Life's approval, I cannot let you take it with you."
"Why?"
"As you can see, the Scepter of Life is extremely important. I won't give it to you until you have sufficient strength!"
The Goddess of Life's tone was firm.
Upon hearing this, a flicker of disappointment crossed Yang Ziyuan's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He knew full well that the Scepter of Life was crucial to the reincarnation of the young spirits, and that his current strength was insufficient to shoulder this responsibility.
Without divine attainment, he couldn't send the young spirits on to reincarnation.
Therefore, for now, this task still depended on the Goddess of Life!
Furthermore, now that he possessed the Scepter of Destruction, he didn't really need a healing artifact like the Scepter of Life.
After all, his Black Hole Martial Spirit was his primary damage output.
With the Scepter in hand, the Black Hole Martial Spirit, bearing the Destruction Godhood, would also be greatly empowered by its influence!
Thinking of this, Yang Ziyuan felt a sense of relief.
"Goddess of Life, I understand."
"That's good! The Heavenly Embryo Day is almost over. Take this opportunity to cultivate!"
Hearing the Goddess of Life's reminder, Yang Ziyuan nodded and entered a meditative state once again.
As midnight approached, the Scepter of Life on the stone pedestal ceased its green glow, and its entire form began to fade, as if it had never existed.
Only a phantom shadow remained.
A moment later, Yang Ziyuan slowly opened his eyes, a wave of reluctance welling up in his heart.
Time had flown by so quickly, leaving him with a sense of unfinished meaning.
Despite his utmost effort in absorbing the surrounding soul energy, he felt no improvement.
However, he didn't lose heart.
After all, at his current level, the thought of a breakthrough after just this brief training session was simply unrealistic.
Besides, the real action was yet to come.
With this in mind, Yang Ziyuan unhesitatingly withdrew the precious divine soul ring.
"I hope you can help me advance further on the path to level 98!"
Yang Ziyuan muttered to himself, gazing at the crystal ball in his hand.
He believed this divine soul ring would undoubtedly propel him to level 98.
However, the gap between level 98 and level 99 was like a chasm, insurmountable.
This gap wasn't just a vast gulf in soul power, but also a gulf in the understanding of martial spirits.
To break the shackles of level 99 with just a divine soul ring was sheer wishful thinking.
However, he still harbored hope, crushing the crystal ball and giving it a try!
Two hours later, a brand new golden spirit ring swirled around his feet.
After feeling the changes within himself, Yang Ziyuan felt somewhat disappointed.
This divinely bestowed spirit ring had only pushed him to level 98.
Without the training he had just undergone, he even doubted that the soul power boost from this divinely bestowed spirit ring would have allowed him to reach level 98!
"Forget it, forget it! More haste makes waste! Now, let's go check on Dad and the others!"
Yang Ziyuan sighed and walked out of the Hall of Rebirth.
As soon as he emerged, he found Kui Yuan already waiting for him.
"Master Kui, why are you here?"
"I sensed His presence earlier. So, I came to see. How is everything going?"
Hearing Kui Yuan's question, Yang Ziyuan nodded, "Not bad! It's just that the Heavenly Embryo Day just passed, and I wanted to go out and take a look. So..."
"That, I can understand. But don't get carried away and forget about the Divine Test!"
"Don't worry, I will come back every Heavenly Embryo Day!"
After saying that, Yang Ziyuan waved goodbye to her and left the Source of Life.
