The air in the living room seemed stiff. There was heavy pressure, everyone could feel this pressure.

95%!

This number had completely shocked the newcomers.

David felt a chill.

“These days I’ve been training, listening to classes, simulation in the training grounds, studying Time Space scribbles, immersed in study. Teacher personally reminded me to go take on missions, to study and experience reality simultaneously, yet I never took it seriously.” David’s eyes were cold. “30 years of a safe life has numbed me. A true warrior can only be born from grueling hardship. Just like how it takes 100 years to temper iron, experiencing many life or death instances, only then can a true warrior be made.”

…

Silence.

The 8 sat there, thinking about many things.

Hu!

David stood up, the other 7 all looked over.

“Since we are walking this path, unless we choose to back out and return to our safe lives, we can only push forward. If we fall, we’ll stand back up. We’ll recover from heavy injuries and only death will end everything!” David’s eyes were cold. “The path to Eternal isn’t something everyone can walk!”

David immediately turned and walked out, flying into the sky and vanishing.

The other 7 were stunned.

Hu!

Wain stood up and said solemnly, “David is right. The path to Eternal isn’t something anyone can just walk. Without the right heart, it’s better to just give up.” After which he turned and left too.

“Haha, good. Isn’t it just a battle. Haha, the people of dragon are people that love battles.” Wuka too stood up and laughed loudly. However his laugh had a sense of pressure and coldness.

“Go.” Arturo stood up.action

“Hm.” Benth followed her big brother and left.

Tyrion’s death had given the members of the absolute beginning region a huge wake up call, and the ones that were truly awoken were David and the other 7. They didn’t even seem to sense any danger from before.

“Training mission.” Wain sat in his study. He opened the screen and looked carefully. “Safe level, normal, difficult, dangerous, impossible? This is the 1st time i’m taking a mission. Without any danger there won’t be any effect. I can still choose the level now, in the future I won’t even get a choice. However, the 1st time shouldn’t be too dangerous, after all I have no experience.”

“Difficult level!”

Wain opened the difficult level and chose the mission.

…

Fantasy ocean.

Rumble, a black ocean roared. The waves rose as high as 10m, crashing over and over into the Cliffside.

David stood above the cliff, looking at the endless fantasy ocean.

“For a strong warrior, other than talent, comprehension, hardwork, resources and techniques, the most important thing is his heart!” David looked far ahead. “With a heart like a blade and strong willpower, for the route ahead, any obstruction will be nothing but a joke! Progressing forward, with a heart of respect and nothing to fear!”

“Heart cold as a mirror, able to see clearly through everything.”

“Heart like a blade, able to cut through obstructions.”

David’s eyes were cold. With a rumble he became a beam of light and headed towards the 1st island of the fantasy ocean.

…

His heart was cold like a mirror. This was the state that David had reached long ago in mental, in any circumstance or situation, he could maintain absolute calm and coldness.

And 30 years of quiet study.

The death of a good friend, it made him roar!

It made him reflect on himself, seeing clearly what he was, his willpower and heart were both like a blade!

Heart like a mirror, this was where the heart had reached an absolute level of strength.

Heart like a blade, was another aspect altogether.

…

Primal chaos city.

A group was listening to True Void emperor’s class, Lcuo Feng was one of them.

“With just this level of illusion and you want to affect me? My heart is like a mirror, I see through all the haze! My heart is like a blade, I cut through all the illusions! Break! Break! Break!” David’s consciousness was like lightning, roaring and shaking the skies. The land and skies crumbled and the illusion broke, revealing the original island scenery. It was a white sandy island and on it were trees and plants, which looked silent and beautiful.

And David stood on the beach of the island.

In the distant ocean, there was darkness.

In the distance, a white shade floated and appeared. Another deeper island had appeared, only after passing the 1st level would the next island appear.

“I really wish to see what kind of illusion can stop me!” David rushed into the sky, becoming a beam of light and heading towards the 6th island.

Right, David had just passed 5 islands of the fantasy ocean continuously.

5 islands, they hardly even affected David!

At the deepest parts of fantasy ocean, within the 21st island, sat a golden armored, black scaled old man. He was the manager of the fantasy ocean.

“Hm?” The old man with a face full of black scales opened his eyes and gazed far away. With a dazed look, he said “A peak cosmos lord punk is actually passing the 7th island so easily? Even many Celestials can’t pass this island, yet he is passing it that easily.”

Looking at his details. “Hm, David. True Void emperor’s disciple?”

“True Void is good at teaching disciples. However, consciousness and will power cannot be taught. Let’s see how many islands this pink can pass. If he passes the 9th island, then that’s impressive. Even many pinnacle of Celestials cannot pass that.” The black scaled old man smiled. He looked into space and watched David’s progress through the fantasy ocean.

After a while.

“He passed the 8th island?” The black scaled old man’s eyes were filled with shock. With a swoosh he stood up, “He really passed the 8th?”

Fantasy island’s 21 islands was actually very similar to passing the 21 levels of the Divine Chaos bridge.

However…

Consciousness and willpower were from within and were hard to train. A student level punk, in terms of willpower alone may not be weaker than a Celestial! Of Course, consciousness strength would be much weaker, however just willpower alone was hard to gauge! However the fantasy island alone tested both of them and not just willpower.

“His consciousness strength definitely cannot compare to a pinnacle Celestial.” The black scaled man’s eyes were filled with shock, saying solemnly, “It’s extremely tiring for him in fantasy island, but obviously his willpower has compensated quite a bit for that.”

“His willpower is sturdy!”

“His determination and willpower is immovable! Actually, they are even stronger than the pinnacle of Celestials!”

“9th island!” The black scaled old man’s eyes were nervous. “9th island was named as one of the limits of a Celestial. Very few Celestials can pass this. This David…a peak cosmos lord punk…how can he possibly pass this. It’s impossible.”

9th island, the mountain rocks and sand were all white.

The trees and plants were lush in this island. David stood at the peak of the island’s 300m to 400m tall mountain. His body upright, eyes cold, gaze like a blade, there wasn’t any hint of worry or hesitation. Within a few seconds, the illusion and pressure began to completely engulf David!
