On the boundless pure white land of the Vacuum Tomb’s cultivation room.
The Blood Cauldron King Avatar sat cross-legged, looking at the ’Heart Realm Source’ in his hand, which appeared as fragile as foam, his entire mind immersed in it.
In an instant, his consciousness had already fused into an illusory yet real world.
All the avatar consciousnesses are connected, and what the Blood Cauldron King Avatar perceives, the main body Lin Qing naturally can also sense.
This illusory world within the Heart Realm Source can change at will, as if evolving into a real world.
Coupled with the "Three Thousand Purgatories" secret art, it allows for personal experiences of various spiritual changes to temper willpower and elevate the spirit.
Under the extreme pressure of the Cosmic Will, Lin Qing’s consciousness is completely immersed in the illusory world woven by the Heart Realm Source, with no extra Heart Power to escape this illusory world; his spirit fully concentrates and completely integrates into this illusory world.
At this point, the "Three Thousand Purgatories" can be considered as having begun.
Next is a grinding process akin to cycles of reincarnation: pain, joy, sorrow, desire... various ways to temper the spirit.
The essence of this secret art is to have the cultivator maintain emotions without indulging in them, always observing themselves from a high, overarching perspective like the all-encompassing supreme Cosmic Will.
This requires the cultivator to remain clear-headed while experiencing these temperings.
Theoretically, this secret art allows for infinite willpower refinement using the Heart Realm Source until the spiritual will reaches the universe limit.
That is just theoretical; how long it actually takes, no one can say.
It might take billions of years.
But to Lin Qing, as long as the theory holds, he can proceed with it.
This time, after proceeding, the memory that surfaced in his mind was noticeably more vast than the information he had previously accessed, like a torrent that continuously surged, making Lin Qing’s whole being tremble involuntarily.
Memories of his various experiences cultivating the "Three Thousand Purgatories" secret art flooded his mind, and his soul trembled.
In the past, the abilities he accessed were not specifically for willpower refinement, so the enhancement of will was not apparent, but this time was completely different.
Willpower refinement is primarily about experiences, targeted at refining the spirit, and with the aid of the secret art, the boost to will is maximized.
Lin Qing felt as if he had undergone numerous life cycles that specifically tested willpower, each time leading to progress in his spiritual will, and occasionally causing significant transformation, thereby continuously improving.
Until after an unknown number of years, he sensed that this will secret technique made no further progress.
It seemed to have reached the peak.
Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, an invisible force that seemed both real and illusory pervaded the surrounding void, merging with his thoughts and moving with his spirit.
"Has my willpower truly reached the universe limit?"
Lin Qing sensed his current state, murmuring incredulously.
Willpower at the universe limit means it nearly transforms into reality, able to influence the real world solely with will.
Of course, this belongs to the legendary realm of will, transcending the universe’s limits and utterly breaking the rules.
Lin Qing, at this moment, merely touched this realm.
Even the secret arts of Fei Yuan City Lord and the universe’s supreme treasure ’Heart Realm Source’ could not break the universe’s limit of spiritual will.
"The legend... One of the essential conditions to transcend the universe is willpower reaching the universe limit, equivalent to the level of the Three Ancestors..."
Lin Qing took a deep breath, somewhat disbelieving, "My willpower actually reached this level..."
He had considered it before, but with no assurance.
After all, he is merely a Void Creature, uncertain whether he could achieve this limit in his lifetime.
Moreover, this realm pertains to the universe’s limit, reaching the level of the Three Great Holy Land Ancestors; even with foresight into the future, he did not dare dream too far.
A trace of a smile appeared on Lin Qing’s face, "Although my power hasn’t increased much, the substantial rise in willpower means that illusion attacks no longer threaten me, and furthermore..."
Resisting Spiritual Illusion Techniques relies almost entirely on spiritual will.
Furthermore, when resisting soul attacks, having sufficiently strong spiritual willpower plays a significant role as well.
"As for the Cosmic Will pressure on the Main Star..."
In the Sea of Deceitful Fog, upon the majestic Life System Main Star.
Lin Qing quietly sat within the Divine Artifact Ship, sensing the omnipresent Cosmic Will, unable to help but smile.
"Cosmic Will pressure?" He slowly stood up, "I feel nothing at all."
Neither the Cosmic Will of the main star itself nor the Cosmic Will emanating from the innate Divine Artifact deep within the canyon had any suppressive feeling for him now.
If previously the Cosmic Will was like an endless tsunami crashing down on him, which he had to struggle with all his might to barely endure.
Now it was like a gentle breeze brushing against him.
Lin Qing laughed heartily, freely channeling the Mysterious Energy within him, now without the slightest sense of stagnation, flowing and changing with his heart’s desire, and the Cosmic Will’s pressure could no longer weaken his power in the slightest.
That is to say, he could exert his full strength even on this Main Star!
