Chapter 294 Recognizing the Star Tower as Master, Tempering the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent!
After listening to Zuoshanke's explanation of the structure of a small universe, Chen Yuan compared it with the original text and found that his teacher was absolutely right.
Because there's a plot point in the original story where, during Luo Feng's participation in Duan Donghe's trial, Duan Donghe refused to allow the True God to participate.
They claimed that the mini-universes were already finalized and had limited future potential, and asked several true gods who wanted to participate to explain the architecture of their mini-universes.
The most representative of them is the Dinnercloth Demon Lord from the first era of reincarnation. His small universe structure is just as Master Zuoshanke said, which is based on the eight basic laws to structure the plane and connect to the origin of the universe.
This architectural approach was described as "ordinary" by Duan Donghe, but in reality, the cosmological architecture of almost all true gods is similar.
After recalling all this, Chen Yuan finally became certain that Master Zuoshanke had not lied to him. The reason why his spacetime laws had not been perfected was because he had delved too deeply into the laws of the Beast God Realm, which led him astray.
"Teacher, how can I salvage this situation?"
After figuring everything out, Chen Yuan respectfully asked, "This isn't a big problem." The Mountain Guest smiled faintly, "You only comprehended the laws in the Beast God Realm, not that you were born from his miniature universe. The Beast God Realm's influence on you is only temporary."
"Even if you ignore everything and stay in the primordial universe for hundreds of thousands of years, those differences in the laws will gradually be corrected."
The mountain hermit paused deliberately at this point, and sure enough, he saw his disciple's expression change slightly. He then laughed and continued, "Of course, if you actively correct the errors in the laws, the correction speed can be increased several times over."
"At most, it will only be a few tens of thousands of years. Compared to the benefits you gained in the Beast God Realm, it's insignificant."
Chen Yuan nodded. His teacher was right. If it only took tens of thousands of years to comprehend the laws of spacetime and have a high probability of breaking through to the Universe Venerable level, then any King-level expert would probably be overjoyed to encounter it.
However, tens of thousands of years is still a bit long; a few thousand years would be more appropriate.
So Chen Yuan asked, "Teacher, can you go even faster?"
"Rule correction is a long and painstaking process; it can't be rushed."
The mountain dweller shook his head, paused, and then added, "However, your talent for analyzing all things might be of some use here. You can give it a try later."
Talent? Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then nodded: "I understand, teacher."
"Alright, that's enough about your question about the laws of spacetime. Anyway, there's plenty of time, so there's no need to rush."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest waved his hand and said, "Disciple, there is one more thing that is important to both you and your teacher, 'that is the matter of recognizing the Star Tower as its master.'"
"The Star Tower, is it that supreme treasure from the extraterrestrial battlefield?" Chen Yuan was certainly aware of the Star Tower's origins and the conditions for it to recognize a master, but he still pretended not to know and asked, "Does Master mean that I am qualified to recognize the Star Tower as my master?"
"Of course, in fact, I was the one who crafted this Star Tower—"
The Mountain Hermit explained the origins of the Star Tower to Chen Yuan, and finally said, "This treasure is the number one treasure in the primordial universe, and it is also my greatest masterpiece in the art of treasure crafting."
"Therefore, the requirements for the Star Tower to recognize a master are ridiculously high. Either one must have the will of a Universe Venerable at the World Lord level, or the will of a Universe Lord at the Immortal level. Moreover, it is based on the level of the soul."
At this point, the Mountain-Sitting Guest looked at Chen Yuan: "My disciple, you were previously an Immortal-level soul and a Venerable-level will, so you did not meet the requirements for the Star Tower to recognize you as its master. But now—as long as you are still before becoming Immortal, you will definitely be able to complete the recognition process."
"If you break through to immortality, your soul level will reach the peak of the King level, and the requirements for the Star Tower to recognize you as its master will also increase accordingly. At that time, your chances of passing will be much smaller."
Chen Yuan nodded, but his expression still held some hesitation: "But didn't the teacher just say that the Star Tower was prepared for Junior Brother?"
"Although Luo Feng has a high chance of recognizing the Star Tower as his master, it is not guaranteed that he will succeed. Besides, he is still far from that point and needs to continue to hone his skills for some time."
The mountain dweller shook his head. "Compared to Luo Feng, you, my disciple, are more important to me now."
"Hmm—" Chen Yuan thought to himself, if he intercepted the Star Tower, how would Luo Feng grow in the future? What if he died halfway through? Wouldn't the future be missing a Hunyuan Lord?
So he shook his head: "Why don't we wait for Junior Brother Luo Feng? This Star Tower isn't very useful to disciples." "Oh?" the Mountain Guest asked curiously, "This is a supreme treasure of the flying palace type, and you're not even tempted by it?"
"Teacher should know that your disciple is not lacking in treasures."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, and with a thought, summoned his ultimate treasure set and the Primordial Palace.
This was the first time the Mountain Dweller had seen all of his disciple's treasures, and he was immediately taken aback: "It includes a set of top-tier treasures in the realm and soul categories, and the flying palace has also reached the level of a top-tier treasure."
"My disciple, your equipment is unmatched even in the entire primordial universe."
"Thanks to the master's treasure-forging manual and my talent, I was able to forge these supreme treasures."
Chen Yuan smiled and explained, "Moreover, I believe that as long as I continue my research, obtaining the ultimate treasure will be just a matter of time."
"Therefore, the Star Tower is not very meaningful to me, far less so than it is to my junior brother."
Seeing that Chen Yuan had put away the treasure, the Mountain Guest also came to his senses and laughed: "Good, as expected of my disciple, this talent is truly unique in the entire universe."
"My disciple, you are right. The Star Tower is indeed not very meaningful to you." The Mountain Guest shook his head slightly. "However, I still suggest that you acknowledge it as your master first."
"Even if you don't need to activate the Star Tower for battle, after completing the bondage, you can still browse all the secret runes within the Star Tower, which is of great reference value for your in-depth study of treasure refining techniques."
Chen Yuanyi's eyes seemed to be deep in thought as he presented the evidence. "The teacher is right about that."
It should be noted that the Star Tower is a supreme treasure of the God-King level, and even the system cannot decipher the information inside it. But if he becomes the master of the Star Tower, wouldn't he be able to obtain God-King level secret runes?
Seeing that his disciple finally showed a hint of interest, the Mountain Hermit pressed on, saying, "Besides, even if you successfully complete the Star Tower's recognition of you, you can still give it up if you don't want it anymore in the future."
"If you no longer want it in the future, and Luo Feng meets the conditions for the Star Tower to recognize you as its master, you can completely revoke the Star Tower's recognition and then hand it over to Luo Feng."
"Can the Star Tower's bond with its owner be broken?"
Chen Yuan was taken aback; he had never thought about this question before.
"No matter how magical the Star Tower is, it's still just an object. Of course, the relationship can be severed."
"It's only natural," said the mountain dweller.
"Then—" Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Then this disciple will give it a try."
"That's right." The Mountain Guest grinned. Regardless of whether the fourth disciple would succeed in the future, he would first let the third disciple complete the recognition of his master.
In case Luo Feng fails to recognize a master in the future, he will still have this third disciple as a backup.
After all, once the relationship is successfully established, Chen Yuan can refine the Star Tower again even if the relationship is dissolved in the future, and this time the refinement will not require the test of establishing a master.
In any case, no matter who controls the Star Tower in the end, the Mountain Dweller's goal will be achieved.
"In that case, let's not delay and head to the Star Tower area first."
The mountain-sitting guest seemed impatient; before Chen Yuan could even react, he felt a shift in time and space.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived in another time and space.
"Is this inside the Star Tower?"
Chen Yuan looked around and found himself in a vast and mysterious palace. The palace was supported by nine pillars that were tens of thousands of kilometers high, and countless stars twinkled around it.
These stars all belong to the Star Tower's treasured artifact: the Star-Sealing Star.
Chen Yuan had once exchanged three of them from the clan's treasury to enhance the sealing ability of the Shiyuan Palace, so he was quite familiar with this treasure.
"teacher?!"
From the other side of the hall, a surprised voice suddenly rang out. Chen Yuan turned his head and saw a figure with a human upper body.
The snake-man, whose lower body was a snake's tail, flew over quickly and soon arrived in front of the two. He respectfully bowed to the mountain-sitting guest and said, "Puti greets the teacher."
"Alright, get up." The Mountain Guest waved his hand, then pointed to Chen Yuan and introduced him, "Let me introduce you. This is my newly accepted third disciple, Chen Yuan."
"So it's Junior Brother Chen Yuan." Puti straightened up, smiled and nodded at Chen Yuan: "I've long heard that the human race has produced a peerless genius, but I never expected it to be Junior Brother Chen Yuan."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Puti. I am a servant of the teacher, and I am fortunate to have been accepted as a disciple by the teacher."
"Greetings, Senior Brother Puti." Chen Yuan returned the greeting.
After the two introduced themselves, Puti looked at the Mountain Guest and asked, "Why did you suddenly come to the Star Tower today, teacher, and bring Junior Brother Chen Yuan with you? Could it be that—"
"It's just as you think." The Mountain Guest nodded with a smile. "Chen Yuan is qualified to be recognized as the master of the Star Tower."
"Congratulations, teacher," Puti said immediately, then hesitated, "And the current leader of the Earth lineage—"
It's clear that Puti is also aware of the Mountain Dwellers' training of Earthlings, and even knows that the teacher has been paying attention to Luo Feng for a long time.
"I will continue to keep an eye on Luo Feng, but he is still far from being able to achieve that." The Mountain Guest shook his head. "Chen Yuan is a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect him to meet the requirements for recognizing a master so quickly."
"As for the future of the Star Tower, that's a matter between the brothers; you don't need to get involved."
The man sitting on the mountain didn't explain much to him.
"I understand, teacher." Puti nodded, but there was still a trace of worry on his face, obviously worried that his two junior brothers from Earth would fight over the Star Tower.
"Puti," said the Mountain Dweller, "You're no longer needed to guard the Star Tower. Chen Yuan and I will stay here from now on. Considering your dedication to protecting the Star Tower over the years—I'll give you a chance."
"Teacher, I..." Puti said excitedly. He had served the Mountain Master for many years. Although he was nominally the eldest disciple, the Mountain Master clearly did not pay as much attention to him as he did to the other disciples.
However, throughout countless eons, he has silently cultivated diligently, and in terms of strength, he has even surpassed the Yan Emperor. What he lacks is nothing more than a supreme treasure.
And now, he has finally waited for this day.
The mountain dweller took out a broken piece of strange wood and said to Puti, "This strange object, although not the most suitable treasure for you, still possesses enough power in your hands to rival a top-tier treasure."
"Take this and go explore the cosmic sea!"
"Thank you for the treasure, Master." Puti bowed and accepted the wondrous object, saying respectfully, "This disciple will do his utmost to live up to Master's expectations." "Go." The Mountain Guest nodded.
"Yes, sir." Puti quickly left the hall and disappeared in an instant.
After Puti left, only Chen Yuan and Zuo Shan Ke remained in the entire Star Tower Hall.
The mountain dweller raised his hand and summoned an ordinary-looking crystal ball from the depths of the main hall, which stopped in front of Chen Yuan.
"This treasure is the core of the entire Star Tower: the Tower Bead."
The Mountain Guest explained, "It can also be considered a supreme treasure of the soul. If you refine it, you can control the entire Star Tower."
'
"Of course, given the size of the Star Tower, it would be difficult for you to activate it unless you are a Cosmic Venerable. But after you complete the recognition process, you will be able to see the secret runes belonging to the Star Tower."
Chen Yuan nodded. In fact, after entering the Star Tower, he had already tried to have the system collect information about the Star Tower, but unfortunately, just like with that mysterious sword embryo, he was completely unable to collect any information.
After the recognition of the master, although the materials for refining the Star Tower are still difficult to analyze, the relevant secret patterns can be collected first. "You can refine it here. This is the core space of the Star Tower. Outsiders can never enter."
The mountain dweller said, "I will also be watching from the side. Don't worry, with your level of willpower, you will definitely be able to complete the recognition of master."
"Understood, teacher." Chen Yuan nodded and reached out his hand toward the crystal ball in front of him.
The moment his fingertips touched the crystal ball, before he could even feel it, the crystal ball instantly merged into his body, directly becoming one with the primordial spirit body in the core of his soul.
"Interesting, it's actually fused with the primordial spirit's will?"
Chen Yuan sensed it carefully, and the next second, an indescribable pain came from the depths of his soul.
Seeing the change in his disciple's expression, the Mountain Guest immediately knew that the Star Tower's recognition ceremony had begun!
"My disciple, you must hold on."
At this moment, even the mountain dweller couldn't help but feel a little nervous, silently thinking to himself, "With your willpower, you will definitely be able to successfully recognize the master."

In fact, apart from a slight pain on Chen Yuan's face at the beginning, he quickly subdued the pain with his strong mental will.
"The Star Tower's recognition ceremony is indeed powerful, but it's still short-lived, so this bit of pain is nothing to me."
A smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face. "Perfect. It's rare to encounter such a strong confrontation of wills. It can accelerate the cultivation of the primordial spirit sword intent."
As his spiritual realm broke through the stage of "sitting in oblivion," his will surpassed that of the universe's overlords, directly entering the level of the universe's master.
Therefore, the willpower secret technique [Primordial Spirit Sword Intent] that he optimized back then can now be directly cultivated to the second and third levels.
Moreover, as mentioned earlier, there are two ways to cultivate the primordial spirit sword intent. The most efficient and effective way is to engage in high-intensity willpower confrontation!
The pain Chen Yuan is experiencing when he recognizes the Star Tower as his master is an excellent test of his willpower.
Therefore, Chen Yuan, the white-robed figure in the core of his soul, took out the longsword condensed from the secret technique of will and began to temper this sword of will according to the cultivation method of the primordial spirit sword intent!
