Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1398 Lady Virelia's Teachings!

Previously on Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100...

Max returned to his room, haunted by Tian's revelations about his class and Revona's Void Origin Eyes, prompting him to seek stronger inheritance techniques for his flames and ice, as his old ones proved inadequate in the Divine Realm. Entering the Dimension of Flames, he found it incomplete and its Inheritance Chamber locked, so he turned to the Dimension of Lightning, where numerous floating islands now offered new paths; he claimed the strongest inheritance from the farthest island after three days of immersion, emerging confident it could decisively overpower foes like Revona. As he prepared to test it, Carl summoned him to Lady Virelia, who delivered a storage ring brimming with cultivation resources to reach the Rebirth Realm's peak, then questioned the unnatural shift in his demeanor during the battle with Revona, suspecting forbidden techniques.

Max's face grew grave as he took in her words. Moments later, he shook his head gently. "Master, that shift you detected isn't due to some wicked method," he responded steadily. "It's the route I've selected for my sword's cosmic path. It's the Emotion Severing Cosmic Path."

Lady Virelia arched an eyebrow in astonishment. "You've already brushed against your cosmic path?"

Max gave a nod. "I'm not sure what it really means to brush against a cosmic path," he confessed truthfully. "But I do know the ultimate route my sword will follow, and that route leads to the Emotion Severing Cosmic Path."

Lady Virelia stayed quiet for a beat before nodding gradually. "To fully grasp a cosmic path, a cultivator needs to hit the Divine Lord Realm. That's when they earn the right to properly delve into their cosmic path, though even then, victory isn't assured." She let out a soft sigh. "Talking about these things is way simpler than pulling them off."

Deep down, she thought Max was advancing at a breakneck speed. She'd meant to cover this ground with him once he entered the Law Awakening Realm, but after seeing what he'd shown, guiding him right away felt like the smarter move.

"Pay close attention," Lady Virelia instructed, her tone steady and guiding. "The Rebirth Realm marks the point where every Divine Spark in your body turns into a Law Embryo. When you advance to the Law Awakening Realm, that Law Embryo develops and solidifies into a Law Seed. Next, the Law Refinement Realm tempers your body with the Law Seed, getting it ready for the real infusion of law. Finally, the Law Manifestation Realm arrives, the initial phase where law truly appears inside the body."

She pressed on without stopping, making sure Max caught every detail. "Beyond the Law Manifestation Realm lies the Divine Lord Realm. At that point, a cultivator might start sensing their cosmic path via the laws woven into their form. Still, it's just a chance, not a sure thing. Plenty of Divine Realm masters don't fully seize their cosmic path until the Divine King Realm, and others wait until the Holy King Realm."

Her eyes narrowed as she delivered the following words. "Grasp this: a cosmic path sums up all your knowledge and trials. It blends your ideas, skills, legacies, fighting history, and grasp of a specific element into one unique route that's purely yours. It's the peak art of the Divine Realm. Nothing tops a cosmic path in this realm of being."

She edged closer, her voice turning urgent. "That's why I urge you to ease up. Dive into the cultivation methods, war techniques, and endless legacy skills of the Divine Realm. Face off in fights, brush with death, and seize flashes of insight before locking in your cosmic path's direction. Once set, a cosmic path can't be switched lightly, and its burden will shadow your entire path ahead."

"I get it, Master," Max replied, bowing his head in respect to her advice, taking its gravity to heart. He'd planned to go this way anyway, since though he'd spotted his sword's cosmic path direction, he was nowhere near finished.

He still had to delve into and polish other forces like flames, ice, space, lightning, and time, each brimming with its own layers and secrets.

The secret to why he could already sense his sword cosmic path's direction was straightforward. Out of all his abilities, the sword was the one he'd traveled farthest with, shaped by endless clashes, close calls with doom, and bursts of understanding that outshone any other power he held.

Lady Virelia nodded, pleased with his answer, then went on. "Now, let's get to why I called you here for real. Seeing your battle prowess and gauging your present power, I've chosen to nominate you for the Thirty Six Hall Grand Trial. This stands as a key event in the Black Dragon Palace. It's a massive contest judging disciples from every one of the thirty six halls, acting as the arena to split real prodigies from the average. Shine there, and big rewards will come your way."

She held for a second before tacking on with a subtle grin, "I know you crave tougher legacy skills and war techniques, especially for your flame force. Nail top marks in the Thirty Six Hall Grand Trial, and you'll earn the freedom to pick any legacy skills or war techniques from the Black Dragon Palace's vaults. That ought to fix your issues handily."

"Looks like I've got no grounds to turn it down," Max said with a firm nod. "I'll join this trial. What do disciples need to qualify?"

"Only outer disciples can enter this trial," Lady Virelia clarified evenly. "Meaning, anyone at the Rebirth Realm or above can join. The tests for inner and core disciples are done, so this one's just for those still on the outer side."

"Got it," Max murmured, nodding once more. This fit perfectly for him. Armed with the fresh resources, hitting the Rebirth Realm was now just a waiting game, not a wall.

Lady Virelia offered a faint smile before her face hardened again. "Don't brush off this trial. It goes beyond raw cultivation rank or raw power. They'll probe you in fights, insight, flexibility, and promise. Catch the eye of key elders in the Black Dragon Palace, and you might skip the normal steps to become a true disciple outright."

She eyed Max with obvious esteem as she wrapped up, "You've already shown your value by claiming the Sword Sovereign's sword, a feat beyond any regular disciple. Do strong in the Thirty Six Hall Grand Trial, and landing as a true disciple in the Black Dragon Palace turns from luck to destiny."
