Killing monsters with a 100% explosion rate, are you luckier than me?

"As long as the request isn't excessive, it can be met."

"It seems simple, but what is not excessive? What is truly needed?"

Ye Chuyun's brain started working at an unprecedented speed.

In an instant, countless thoughts surged into his mind like a tide.

Need a powerful piece of equipment?

For example, an abnormal piece of equipment that surpasses even divine and demonic artifacts.

The elderly might be able to provide it.

But if he just wanted equipment, why didn't he just go to the Divine Weapon Tomb? Why did he come to this Myriad Realms Secret Realm?

A powerful supernatural ability?

For example, a supreme forbidden technique that can destroy the world, or a heaven-defying secret method that can reverse life and death and peek into destiny.

Perhaps the elderly also have them.

But if all you want is supernatural powers, isn't the Enlightenment Cliff a better choice?

If we need a rare and precious herb, isn't the Myriad Herbs Garden enough?

These options are all good, all tempting, and all can immediately enhance his strength.

But Ye Chuyun only thought about it briefly before forcibly suppressing these thoughts.

"No, if it were just for these things, I wouldn't have chosen the Myriad Realms Secret Realm at all."

“My talent led me here, and it wasn’t just to make me make this choice.”

"The opportunities here should offer me something that those three regions couldn't."

"Those three areas are essentially about acquisition, about getting what you already have."

"But this old man asked what he wanted, which was more like a custom order."

Ye Chuyun's thoughts gradually became clearer, and her eyes grew brighter.

"I can't just focus on the immediate increase in power."

"What I want to see is the future, the potential, and the fundamental things that will allow me to go further on this path of pursuing excellence!"

He began to examine himself.

Equipment, supernatural powers, and resources are all external forces. They are important, but not irreplaceable, and can be obtained through other means.

Some things cannot be given by external forces.

His foundation is already extremely solid, but can he go even further?

Time passed second by second, and the sound of water in the pot seemed to grow more and more urgent, as if urging Ye Chuyun to make a decision quickly.

Fine beads of sweat once again appeared on Ye Chuyun's forehead.

But this time it wasn't because of pressure, but because of reflection.

He recalled the stringent rules that measured the upper limit of potential at each stage on his journey to heaven.

He recalled his journey and his unwavering pursuit of the limits of combat power at each stage.

"My path is the path to the ultimate."

"So what I need most is an opportunity that allows me to keep pushing my limits."

More abstract ideas began to emerge.

Perhaps I should ask the old man to improve my cultivation aptitude and comprehension, making it easier for me to comprehend the Great Dao and understand the essence of the laws.

Or perhaps it bestowed upon me a special constitution or talent.

Or perhaps you could give me a possibility, an opportunity to continuously evolve?

These demands are obviously far more excessive than asking for a divine artifact or a supernatural power, but they are also more in line with the mystery of the Myriad Realms.

Ye Chuyun's gaze gradually hardened.

He knew that if he asked for a divine weapon or elixir, the old man would likely give it to him without hesitation.

But that would undoubtedly be a waste of this unique opportunity.

He has to take a gamble!

Bet this seemingly ordinary old man possesses unimaginable power.

He gambled that this mysterious realm of myriad phenomena could fulfill his seemingly excessive demands.

“Woooooooo~~~”

Just then, the earthenware pot emitted a clear buzzing sound, indicating that the water had boiled and the time the old man had given for consideration was about to end.

The old man opened his eyes and calmly gazed at Ye Chuyun.

"How about it?"

Ye Chuyun suddenly raised her head and looked intently at the old man.

He took a deep breath and said, word by word:

“Senior, what I seek is neither divine weapon, nor elixir, nor supernatural power.”

"This junior would like to know, on the path of cultivation, is there truly an insurmountable limit to combat power at each level?"

"If it exists, I dare to ask you, senior, to help me break it!"

"I am currently at the fifth rank, and my theoretical combat power limit is 25 million. Unless I advance to the sixth rank, this limit will be an insurmountable barrier that will prevent me from moving forward."

“But I don’t believe it!” Ye Chuyun’s eyes were firm.

"Limits are born to be broken!"

"Please, senior, lend me your help to break through the 25 million limit in the fifth rank and see a wider sky."

After he finished speaking, the small house fell silent.

A ripple finally appeared in the old man's usually calm and still eyes.

He did not answer immediately, but instead gazed at Ye Chuyun silently.

Ye Chuyun felt as if that gaze had pierced through his body and was looking straight into the depths of his soul.

He could clearly hear his heart pounding.

Ye Chuyun held her breath, awaiting the old man's verdict.

This request is undoubtedly extremely excessive.

The limit of combat power is set by the rules of heaven and earth to maintain balance; it is a kind of shackle and protection of the potential of all living beings by the Heavenly Dao.

Breaking it means going against the natural order and challenging the established order.

After a long silence, the old man slowly spoke: "Breaking the limits of the established Heavenly Dao... young man, you have quite the ambition."

He paused slightly, as if weighing something.

Finally, a faint hint of approval flashed in those deep eyes.

"Very well. Your ability to reach the top of the Heavenly Ladder demonstrates unprecedented potential, which already puts you halfway outside the rules."

"My duty here is to provide a glimmer of hope for those who wish to transcend the rules."

"I can grant your request."

Ye Chuyun was shocked!

Despite his anticipation, he still found it hard to believe when the old man agreed in person.

This old man actually possesses the ability to break the rules of combat power limits?

What exactly is this being...?

The old man seemed to see through his thoughts and said calmly, "Don't overthink it."

"The Way of Heaven is vast and its rules are strict; even I am not omnipotent."

"This is not about erasing the rules, but rather using special means to temporarily pry open a gap in you, which is equivalent to pre-drawing some of your future potential after a breakthrough and converting it into an increase in your current combat power ceiling."

"Such methods involve immense cause and effect and risk, and are limited by your own foundation and potential limit, and can only be used once in your lifetime."

"After this, no matter what level you reach in the future, there will be no second chance."

Do you understand?

"Is this a once-in-a-lifetime event...?" Ye Chuyun exhaled heavily, her eyes burning even more intensely.

enough.

This was an incredible stroke of luck for him.

This means that on the fifth-tier platform, he can accumulate a more terrifying foundation than any other player of the same tier.

Those so-called geniuses and prodigies are no match for him.

This impact on the future path far surpasses that of any magical artifact or supernatural power.
