My lord?

Lin Yun took note of the word 'My lord' in True Martial Saint Lord's speech.

The identity and strength of True Martial Saint Lord were such that few could be addressed as 'My lord' by him... Could it be the First Saint from the Immortal Origin Holy Land?

Previously, True Martial Saint Lord also uttered the word 'My lord,' only with the addition of the name Er Lee.

"I heard that the real name of the Elder Lord is Er Lee, rumored to be the First Saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land. Perhaps, 'My lord' as mentioned by True Martial Saint Lord refers to him," Lin Yun thought to himself.

Thinking of the First Saint from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, Lin Yun also considered the strength of True Martial Saint Lord. It was said that the strength of the First Saint vastly exceeded other saints and that other saints ascended to sainthood under his guidance.

If that were the case and True Martial Saint Lord was so powerful, then what sort of terrifying strength could that First Saint possess?

"Your guess is not incorrect; 'My lord' whom I speak of is indeed the one known as the First Saint from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, Er Lee, my lord," said True Martial Saint Lord with a slight smile at that moment.

Lin Yun was startled upon hearing this from True Martial Saint Lord. Although his thoughts had not been deliberately concealed, he had instinctively reined them in somewhat, and ordinarily, even a saintly being should not be able to easily sense the nature of what he was thinking about.

Not to mention, from the words of True Martial Saint Lord, it seemed that he knew the details of Lin Yun's thoughts very accurately.

It seemed that True Martial Saint Lord's strength was even beyond what he had imagined.

"Just as some have speculated, Er Lee, my lord, is indeed the powerful saint reincarnated. He chose to reincarnate into this universe actively, intending to seek the reincarnation of a friend in this universe," True Martial Saint Lord paused before continuing.

"Could it be that Er Lee, my lord's friend, is related to the Heavenly Principle Tower?" Suddenly, Lin Yun had a moment of inspiration and blurted out the question.

He had long heard that the First Saint from the Immortal Origin Holy Land was likely the reincarnation of a powerful saint. Having heard various legends about the First Saint, he also leaned towards the general consensus.

Thus, True Martial Saint Lord's confirmation only slightly surprised him, and he quickly accepted it. Then he thought of the connection between the First Saint and the Heavenly Principle Tower along with True Martial Saint Lord's mention of it, leading him to ponder this question.

"Indeed, the Heavenly Principle Tower is an important treasure of Er Lee, my lord's friend, from his previous life. His friend perished for some reason, and the Heavenly Principle Tower ended up in our universe. After calculations by Er Lee, my lord, his friend's reincarnation is very likely to appear in our universe.

Er Lee, my lord, has waited many years in the outside world without encountering his friend's reincarnation. Therefore, he reincarnated into our universe to search, because as per the cosmic laws, a being of his strength cannot enter our closed universe directly," the True Martial Saint Lord explained with a nod.

"A closed universe?" Lin Yun was taken aback.

"Yes, universes like ours, that have not yet interacted with the outside world, are known as closed universes…" the True Martial Saint Lord said.

He proceeded to explain to Lin Yun the differences between the universes.

It turns out there are different tiers of universes, some strong and some weak.

And these universes share one thing: they all have a beginning phase.

During the beginning phase, universes are differentiated into tiers, generally including the nine-layered cosmic system, eighteen-layered cosmic system, twenty-seven-layered cosmic system, thirty-six-layered cosmic system, and so on, increasing by multiples of nine.

The more layers a universe has, the greater its potential and the more powerful the beings it can produce. Once opened, it will occupy no small position within the whole world, known as the Cosmic Ocean.

The Cosmic Ocean is the term used by outsiders for the environment made up of numerous universes.

Reportedly, the strongest universes in the Cosmic Ocean are the three eighty-one-layered cosmic systems, each with a renowned reputation across the entire Cosmic Ocean.

Within a universe in its beginning phase, the strong within must shatter layer after layer, until all the layers of the universe are broken through, thus fully connecting the universe with the outside world.

Outsiders can then enter the universe, although their strength will be limited; they cannot exceed the maximum force that the universe can accommodate, but it's considered to have opened this universe to the eyes of countless strong beings in the entire universe.

One wrong move can be dangerous.

However, to develop a universe better, this step must be taken. With each shattered layer, the universe connects with a kind of energy in the Cosmic Ocean, triggering a significant evolution in the universe.

When the last layer is broken, the changes in the universe are exceptionally great.

Also, with each shattered layer, those who break through the new layered heavens receive substantial rewards from the universe. The rewards for breaking the last layer are enormous, which is a temptation too great for many to resist.

Listening to True Martial Saint Lord, Lin Yun was extremely shocked.

He had never imagined such great intricacies between universes.

"So, how many layers does our universe have, and how many have been broken?" Lin Yun couldn't help asking.

"Ha, our universe is a thirty-six-layered cosmic system, and thirty-three layers have already been broken through," laughed True Martial Saint Lord.

"Ah? Only thirty-six layers? And we have already broken through thirty-three layers..." Lin Yun was somewhat disappointed.
