Wang Xu was extremely excited. In the past two years, he endured inhuman pain and torture to blast open the city gate, living every day as if he were in hell. This piercing pain tormented Wang Xu’s body and battered his spirit.
Wang Xu had thought about giving up. He wanted to let it all go at once and commit suicide, ending it all.
But whenever he thought of his parents, tears couldn’t help but fall, and he gritted his teeth to persist.
He could die, he didn’t care if he was quartered or had to walk through fire and climb mountains of swords.
But his parents couldn’t. They were still hoping for his return. If he died and the aliens invaded, his parents would be killed or enslaved, living in pain for the rest of their lives. Wang Xu, even in death, couldn’t forgive himself.
It was precisely this tie in his heart that made Wang Xu abandon everything and persist fiercely.
In two years, Wang Xu had advanced from the Upper Rank Star Level to the Extreme Rank Star Level, just one step away from the Void Level. He had also successfully cultivated the Formless Giant Power to the Third Layer, capable of unleashing a hundredfold of power, and blasted open the giant palace doors in one go!
With excitement in his heart, he stepped through the giant palace doors, and what lay before his eyes was a dazzling hall of gold and jade.
The decorations in the hall were unheard of and unseen by Wang Xu; everything was full of novelty.
While observing the hall, Wang Xu walked towards the inner chamber.
"Another door!" Wang Xu quickly saw a man-sized circular door in the distance. Although this door wasn’t as tall and dazzling as the city gate, Wang Xu still gripped his fiery red sword, ready to use great force to break through it.
This was the second door, which should be a level more difficult than the city gate. After two years of tempering, Wang Xu’s resolve had become extremely strong. The moment he saw this door, he was ready for a long battle.
However, Wang Xu had just taken three steps when a surge of overwhelming spiritual pressure violently hurled him away!
"Argh!" Wang Xu’s spiritual consciousness was severely hit, involuntarily spitting out blood, and he looked at the door with a pale face.
This door tested not strength, but spiritual consciousness.
Spiritual pressure was a means of attack for spiritual consciousness. Wang Xu had gone through the secret techniques of spiritual consciousness and knew that it not only had sensing capabilities but also possessed strong attack power, provided that his spiritual consciousness was strong enough.
With his current spiritual consciousness, he was extremely powerful on Earth. But in the eyes of Cosmic Martial Artists, it was ordinary beyond ordinary and completely lacked any offensive capability.
Wang Xu stood up, took a deep look at the second door, and turned to walk out of the palace.
He picked up a secret technique for cultivating spiritual consciousness from the table and immediately sat cross-legged to cultivate.
Spiritual consciousness is not like ordinary attack secret techniques. It is often more about whether a person possesses spiritual consciousness talent. Usually, a martial artist with strong spiritual consciousness finds it easier to cultivate secret techniques than an ordinary martial artist.
"No, my cultivation speed is too slow." After engaging with the secret techniques of spiritual consciousness, Wang Xu discovered that his spiritual consciousness talent was ordinary, and progress in cultivation was unusually slow.
The stronger the spiritual consciousness talent, the easier it is to enter the cultivation state, and naturally, the faster the progress. Conversely, it was difficult for Wang Xu to enter the cultivation state with slow progress. Unless there was an environment now that could quickly help him enter the cultivation state, it would be hard to make any achievements in ten years given his spiritual consciousness talent.
After thinking it over, Wang Xu’s eyes lit up as he thought of the most effective method.
Wang Xu immediately prepared himself and started cultivating the Fourth Layer of Formless Giant Power.
Severe pain surged like a tide. In the fierce state of pain, Wang Xu’s face began to show calmness. He gritted his teeth against the pain, beginning to forget it in his heart.
The more painful it was, the more, when Wang Xu held on and abandoned all pain, he suddenly felt he had entered another realm.
"This method works!" Wang Xu’s heart fluttered with emotion.
When pushed to the limit, the situation reverses!
Wang Xu used the pain brought by the Formless Giant Power to allow himself to concentrate more easily, thus speeding up his entry into the cultivation state, and the progress of cultivating spiritual consciousness also became faster.
In this way, Wang Xu reentered the monotonous state of cultivation, with time slipping quietly by.
In the blink of an eye, another year passed.
"Luo, I have no issue with you giving Wang Xu a spot, but you know the dangers inside. If he encounters any misfortunes in there, even you and I would find it hard to save him. You must think it through," said a man with a square face seriously, standing atop a mountain peak with ten silhouettes.
"I believe in him. He is the turning point for Earth and won’t die easily," Luo replied, frowning slightly, "There’s only an hour left until the opening, and Wang Xu hasn’t arrived yet?"
Everyone was waiting.
They had once ventured into the First Forbidden Zone, encountering numerous dangers and acquiring some treasures from the cosmos, eventually returning safely.
In the First Forbidden Zone, they only felt like insignificant members, like ants constantly facing the threat of death.
Wang Xu, being only a Star Level, would face even more unfavorable circumstances inside.
But Luo had already made up his mind, and Wang Xu had accepted the token, so they could only accept this fact.
A suction force suddenly appeared, and then a man-sized black hole began to emerge.
The black hole was pitch black and deep, but upon closer observation, it was exactly like the massive black hole Wang Xu had encountered in the cosmos, only much smaller.
"The forbidden zone has opened, Luo, let’s go in!" said the square-faced man, entering the black hole first, followed by the others entering the zone one by one.
"Why isn’t he here yet?" Luo waited another two minutes, seeing the black hole begin to dissipate, and sighed before stepping into the black hole.
Moments later, the black hole slowly disappeared, and the world returned to silence.
Meanwhile, in front of the second door.
"Argh!" Wang Xu was only five meters away from the second door when he was violently hurled away, spitting out blood.
"Still not enough." Wang Xu didn’t feel frustrated or discouraged. He wiped the blood from his mouth and gave the second door a determined look before turning away.
In one year, Wang Xu’s spiritual consciousness had significantly improved and was beginning to possess attack power.
Facing the spiritual pressure from the second door, Wang Xu could calmly advance partway, but the pressure intensified the closer he got to the door.
Through a year of cultivation, Wang Xu had gotten within five meters of the second door, enduring unprecedented spiritual pressure.
In response, Wang Xu headed directly outside the city gate, cultivating the Formless Giant Power, while simultaneously entering a cultivation state for spiritual consciousness.
