Chapter 426 Domain of Trials
"How come yours are free?!" they asked in disbelief.
Fealan was also clueless, but thinking of his son-in-law, it seemed to be granted by him.
"Eternal Voyager, why does Fealan have free access to tier 10 knowledge?" Alabaster asked, summoning the Academy's spirit.
Eternal Voyager was the ship spirit of the previous Shadow Stronghold in the abyss. Retiring from fighting, Eternal Voyager was transferred to manage the academy.
[The host granted Sovereign Fealan S level authority; everything in the Etherium Academy is thus free.]
"What?! What about us? What do we get?" Alabaster asked in anger, hearing it for the first time.
[As one of the leaders of the Etherium Alliance, Sovereign Readius and Alabaster were granted A-level authority.]
[Besides the free access to tier 10 materials and knowledge, you have the same benefits and authority as S-level authority.]
Understanding their worth, Readius and Alabaster couldn't help but click their tongues.
"What about borrowing EA points? Can we?"
[Yes, as holders of A-level authority, you are eligible to borrow up to 100 million EA points.]
[However, this credit can only be used in the Etherium Alliance and can't be cashed out to origin coins.]
"This is enough," the two heaved a sigh of relief.
Calculating the cost of a common origin of law, they realized they could study about six of them.
"Let me borrow 100 million EA points."
"Me too."
Although borrowing would overdraft their share for tens of thousands of years, it was better than nothing.
They managed to wait countless epochs comprehending a trace of the origin of law. Now that it was available in front of them, no matter how expensive or long it would take, they could manage.
However, not wanting Fealan to get ahead of them because of his biased son-in-law, the two were thinking of doing tasks to quickly earn contribution points.
However, realizing that they fell to the point of working for such a brat who hasn't even lived for an epoch they couldn't help but sigh.
"What a tragedy..." Readius and Alabaster thought sympathizing with each other.
...
Virtual Realm, Domain of Trials.
"This is the Domain of Trials?" Lilith muttered in amazement.
Like the Battlefield Domain, the Domain of Trials is an alternative recruitment site.
The only difference is that instead of the top organizations recruiting, it's the individual powerhouses who are.
Around the domain, tomes of different shapes spread across: swords, halberds, hammers, furnaces, sticks, statues, books, buildings, etc.
"What kinds of inheritance can you get here?" Lilith asked curiously.
"Completing the trial, you would get the inheritance left by the powerhouse."
"From knowledge, wealth, and treasure, all of it was vetted by the Virtual Realm and would be given to the successor," Maximus explained.
"Oh~ How about we sweep through them?" Lilith asked, her eyes lighting up.
Learning badly from Maximus, Lilith got accustomed to getting everything for free.
"Stupid, how can such a loophole appear here?" Skye said, tugging Lilith's arm.
"Don't think about free things all day long," Maximus said helplessly.
Many proud geniuses had once thought of emptying the Domain of Trials.
Usually, the powerhouses who laid their inheritance here were at least tier 11.
Their wealth, knowledge, and treasures would be a huge gain even for prodigy with deep background.
However, after succeeding in one or two inheritances, they came to the realization that everything has consequences.
Aside from the benefits, the inheritance also came with calamities.
The enemies, rivals, and will—all the cause and effect—would also be borne by the inheritor.
Even if the Virtual Realm adopted top confidentiality protection, as long as the inheritor used the skills, treasures, and property they inherited, they would be caught sooner or later.
"Then what are we here for?" Lilith asked in puzzlement.
Taking them to the Virtual Realm, Maximus said that they were here for an opportunity. However, after taking Skye to the Sterling Domain to have her physique harmonized, they just went shopping and playing.
"It should be the Virtual Tower..." Skye said, looking at the infinitely tall tower in the center of the Domain of Trials.
"This—Is that an inheritance of a tier 12 powerhouse?" Lilith said in expectation.
To dwarf all of the inheritances in the virtual domain, the Virtual Tower should be of a different magnitude.
"Maybe, I don't know," Skye shook her head.
Although she knew of the virtual realm from her previous life, it all came from the rumors she gathered.
Being only at tier 8 in all of her past life, she couldn't access the Virtual Realm.
Turning their attention to Maximus, they asked for answers. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"It's indeed an opportunity created by the tier 12 powerhouse."
"To be exact, it's the inheritance of the Dimensional Alliance."
"Even top prodigies from three overlord organizations, top sects, and families rush eagerly to the Virtual Tower to get opportunities," Maximus explained.
According to Otto, on the top floors of the Virtual Tower, the reward would even reach tier 12 ultimate treasure.
This is also how most of the top sects and families got theirs.
Unfortunately, to reach that floor, one must at least have the strength to become a master of the river of law.
In Maximus's current state, where he barely is in the tier 9 realm, he still has a long way to go.
"Then should we bring others here?" Lilith said.
When she saw good things, she always thought of her family.
"It's not the time; one could only get to the Virtual Tower three times."
"Their foundation is still not at its peak; it would be a waste to use it now."
The Virtual Tower could only be accessed three times: once from tier 9, tier 10, and tier 11.
Each tier of the trial had 161,803 floors.
Passing above 161,000 floors was the milestone he had set for his family.
Advancing to this floor, one would be rewarded with the blessings of causality.
This blessing, like the tier 12 dimensional harmonizer, could improve the grade and rank of physique but at a greater amplitude.
At tier 9 virtual trial, passing above 161,000-floor guarantee that one's physique would directly advance from heroic to mythical grade, which was deemed impossible to artificially produce.
If Maximus wanted to maximize the potential of his wives and children, he had to wait until they couldn't improve anymore.
That means their realm should be at peak tier 9, comprehended insights of the origin of law, harmonized all 161,803 essences of laws, and finally have a rank 11 heroic grade ultimate physique.
This is the minimum Maximus set and could achieve before sending his family into the Virtual Tower.
Reaching the peak of the tier 9 realm and comprehending insight into the origin of law is just a matter of time with the help of abundant resources and the time crystal from his system.
Harmonizing all 161,803 laws in advance without the Etherium realm reaching the tier 12 dimension should also be achievable.
Maximus was already simulating this possibility with the help of World Tree and Etheria.
As for having an ultimate physique, Maximus planned to have his family take the tier 12 dimensional harmonizer.
Although it would consume the power of causality and may damage their plane of existence, he didn't care.
Once his physique, the Dimensional Source, advanced to rank 12, Maximus would have unlimited power of causality. Replenishing their plane of existence should be easy.
As for how he could let his family use that tier of machine, Maximus hadn't thought it through yet.
However, he would do everything in his power to give his family the best chance and potential he could.
After achieving the ultimate he had set, passing above 161,000 floors should be easy, making their physique advance to Mythical Grade.
As for passing the tier 10 trial and having a supreme grade physique, and passing the tier 11 virtual trial and having a possible origin grade physique, Maximus was not sure.
It was too far away and unclear for him to make any plans.
He didn't even know if it was possible.
After all, if such a grade of Physique could be artificially produced, the Dimensional Alliance would have long dominated their plane of existence.
Taking Skye and Lilith to the Virtual Tower this early is because he was sure that they were strong enough.
Possessing a supreme grade and origin grade physique, with the addition of his guidance using the Origin Manual, if they couldn't even pass the threshold of the tier 9 virtual trial, then no one could.
Although the blessing of causality of the Virtual Tower couldn't purify their physique to a higher quality, it should be enough to enhance their rank.
Especially for Lilith, once she enhanced her physique to rank 11, Maximus wouldn't need to spend hundreds of billions of origin coins.
After her physique reaches such a rank, it should be able to copy tier 11 physique-enhancing potions.
After explaining to them the ins and outs of the Virtual Tower, they hurried to their destination.
