“The Nine Universe Chaos Stele has nine diagrams in total. The first diagram, the ‘Rain Drop Diagram’, contains nine raindrops, and each raindrop contains a different artistic conception.”
As Luo Feng immersed himself in the 108 characters, he continuously compared them with the insights he had gained from comprehending the Rain Drop Diagram.
“Among these 108 characters, nine correspond to the Rain Drop Diagram.”
The artistic conceptions of these nine characters and the nine raindrops felt almost exactly the same to Luo Feng. The complex strokes of those nine characters faintly gave him the feeling of nine sets of sword techniques.
“Profound.”
The more Luo Feng comprehended these nine characters, the more unfathomable they seemed.
Every sword technique contained one of the fundamental truths of the universe’s space!
Every sword technique explained one of the underlying essences of the universe’s space!
…
Although the similarity in artistic conception on the surface was enough to determine that the nine characters corresponded to the Rain Drop Diagram, being able to identify the correspondence and actually comprehending it were two completely different things.
Even someone who did not understand English could see two identical letters and determine that they were the same letter. But learning English was thousands of times harder than simply identifying whether two letters were the same.
That was exactly Luo Feng’s current situation.
While Luo Feng was immersed in the study on the rooftop of the cultivation residence, Babata, bored inside the space of his wrist, could not help sighing.
“Crazy. Who comprehends the Origin Law of Space like this? Even when the Boss became an Immortal back then, he never studied the essence of the universe’s space this deeply. That Lian Luo really deserved to be the number one genius of the Genius Battle billions of years ago. A genius is truly a genius. Even the way he does things is so abnormal.”
In fact, comprehending the Laws of Space did not need to be this complicated.
It was like how many people on Earth learned to use computers and Word documents. They only needed to learn how to use them. As long as they knew how to use them, that was enough.
But Lian Luo had actually analysed the essence of the universe’s space and expressed it through 108 characters.
It was like learning to use Word. Lian Luo had not merely learned how to use the software. Instead, he had analysed the entire document and figured out how the entire document had been created.
He was analysing the essence!
Comprehending the Origin Laws of the universe was the same.
That vague feeling of comprehension allowed cultivators to understand what they should do and what was correct. Therefore, relying on that mysterious feeling, the attacks they unleashed contained the Origin Laws, making their power ridiculously strong.
Yet that kind of feeling was regarded as something “profound and impossible to explain”.
If others asked them about it, they simply could not describe it.
They could only sigh and say, “It can only be experienced, not expressed in words.”
Wrong!
What nonsense about it being impossible to express!
It was not that it could not be expressed. It was simply that many powerful warriors, even Immortal existences, had never truly understood the essence. Naturally, they could not explain it clearly.
For example, the Mosha Clan body. Because of its compatibility with space, it might possess terrifying combat strength. But in terms of understanding the Laws of Space, the Mosha Clan body and Luo Feng’s Earthling original body were naturally exactly the same.
“True Yan King really deserves to be an existence close to the level of a Universe Country Lord. Having Luo Feng study the essence of the universe’s space is indeed the correct path.”
Babata understood this very clearly because he had witnessed the cultivation process of the Master of Yun Mo Planet, Hu Yan Bo.
At the beginning, his cultivation had progressed very quickly.
But!
The further he went, the harder it became. The further he went, the more profound and unfathomable the Origin Law of Space seemed, making it increasingly difficult to see through completely.
“If one started studying the essence of the universe’s space from the very beginning, researching it step by step, progress might be much slower at first. But later, the rate of improvement would become faster and faster.”
Babata sighed softly.
“No wonder the Boss spent tens of millions of years and only barely reached the strength of a Marquis. Yet Lian Luo became Immortal in less than 100,000 years and was directly granted the title of Marquis!”
The difference!
…
“When I use my movement technique, a single movement can create more than twenty phantom bodies. But I never understood why it could produce so many phantoms.”
After studying for a long time, Luo Feng felt mentally exhausted and finally broke out of his state of complete immersion. He could not help sighing in amazement.
“Now, I understand a little.”
Only a little.
But even understanding this tiny part made Luo Feng marvel inwardly.
“Babata, how long have I been studying?” Luo Feng asked.
“A little over eighteen days,” Babata replied.
“More than half a month, and I’ve only comprehended a tiny part of the first sword technique?”
Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
Clearly, comprehending the Origin Laws and studying their essence were completely different in difficulty.
“At this rate, how long would it take me to completely understand the first sword technique? Unfortunately, I don’t have the Floating Blood Secret Manual.”
These 108 characters were ultimately only characters.
The Floating Blood Secret Manual contained the detailed cultivation method that Lian Luo had left behind after creating it. If Luo Feng had that secret manual, he was confident that his research progress would definitely be much faster.
“It’s only 800 points!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth.
“Luo Feng, wouldn’t you get 1,000 points after successfully passing the first level of the Heavenly Bridge?”
“I know.”
Luo Feng shook his head.
“But I don’t have complete confidence that I can pass the first level of the Heavenly Bridge right now.”
During these days, at least all the insights he had previously gained from comprehending the Nine Universe Chaos Stele had been fully digested. His comprehension of the Laws of Space had deepened considerably. If he now used the Heavenly Sword Form, its power would definitely be much greater.
Perhaps he could win, but he was not completely confident.
“If I can completely comprehend the first sword technique!”
“With the nine golden swords connected through this first artistic conception, they could form a perfect whole. The power would definitely be terrifying.”
After his initial research, Luo Feng already understood how enormous the benefits of completely comprehending the first sword technique would be.
Luo Feng gazed into the distance of Chaos City.
“I’ve been cultivating for so long that my mind is exhausted. I’ll go outside the city and take a look. That black robed envoy previously said that Chaos City has three treasures, and the third treasure is described on a stone tablet outside the city gate.”
Luo Feng knew that he could no longer continue his research in his current state, so he immediately headed towards one of the city gates.
What exactly was this so called third treasure?
The first treasure was the Laws visibly manifested in the Original Universe.
The second treasure was the 52 Chaos Steles.
Then what was the third treasure?
Within an enormous ancient estate in Chaos City.
“Everyone, leave,” the ape man said, waving his hand.
“Yes, Teacher.”
Dozens of Immortals and World Lords below respectfully bowed before leaving the estate.
“That Luo Feng actually hasn’t purchased the Floating Blood Secret Technique?”
True Yan King sat in a chair with a frown, communicating with his auxiliary intelligence through his consciousness.
“He’s a member of the Absolute Beginning Secret Region. He should have received the 10,000 points as a gift. What? He already used them all up right at the beginning?”
After learning about Luo Feng’s previous spending of 10,000 points from his auxiliary intelligence, True Yan King was somewhat speechless.
“He actually bought the Shadow Secret Manual?”
True Yan King repeatedly shook his head.
“At his current strength, there was absolutely no need for him to buy the Shadow Secret Manual. He should have purchased a more basic secret technique. The one most suited to him is the best.”
“This little fellow used all his points in one go. Really, really…”
True Yan King suddenly frowned.
“Troublesome!”
“That abnormal fellow Lian Luo spent tens of thousands of years back then just to analyse the 108 sets of sword techniques. Analysing some of the essences of the Origin Laws is much harder than comprehension. It tests one’s insight, mentality, and comprehension of the Origin Law of Space. Without being a supreme genius, it is very difficult to achieve anything.”
Starting from the very beginning and gradually analysing the essence of the universe’s space would lead to extremely high achievements in the future.
Which of the countless super existences across the 1,008 universe countries did not understand this?
Yet despite knowing this, this method had never been widely promoted, precisely because the requirements for mentality, insight, and comprehension of space were ridiculously high.
First, one’s comprehension of space had to be sufficiently high. If one could not even comprehend the Origin Law of Space, how could one study its essence?
As for mentality and insight, one had to remain calm throughout the continuous research. Once one’s heart became restless, all previous efforts would be wasted.
The importance of mentality could be imagined.
And when it came to analysing the essence of the universe’s space, insight was even more important.
For most powerful warriors, taking this path would only cause them to waste their long and endless lifespans.
Lian Luo, the number one genius of the Genius Battle, needed tens of thousands of years. Someone slightly less talented, such as Jiang Mo, Ai Chen, Wuka and those at their level, might need several million years.
As for ordinary genius cultivators, even if they spent the entire 1,000 eras of a World Lord’s lifespan, they might still fail.
“Mm. Although these thirty years in Chaos City are very important to him, letting him suffer a small setback and waste a few years won’t matter.”
True Yan King shook his head.
“Let him learn his lesson and understand that some precious items shouldn’t be squandered before he even understands their best use.”
True Yan King stopped thinking about it.
Although he was paying attention to Luo Feng, it was ultimately because they belonged to the same faction and the same lineage. He was merely giving him a little guidance. He was not going to busy himself with everything concerning Luo Feng.
At Luo Feng’s current level, he was not yet worth that much effort from True Yan King.
Chaos City.
The city walls stretched endlessly, with no end in sight.
The city gate opened, and powerful warriors occasionally entered or left. Luo Feng also walked outside through the city gate.
“Where is the stone tablet?”
Luo Feng stood at the city gate and looked at the vast barren wilderness stretching into the distance, shrouded in chaotic currents.
Suddenly, he turned his head and saw an enormous stone tablet on the left.
The stone tablet was covered in densely packed words written in the universal language of the universe. They described the third treasure of Chaos City.
“Chaos True Spirit?”
Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
The general content on the stone tablet was as follows:
Chaos True Spirits.
When the universe is in its initial state, the “Original Universe” naturally gives birth to some strange creatures. These creatures have bizarre appearances and have temporarily been named “Chaos Beasts”.
These Chaos Beasts vary in strength. Each of them is naturally skilled in certain Origin Laws. Some are skilled in many, while others are skilled in only a few.
When a Chaos Beast is killed, its body will directly decay into a large amount of chaotic energy and a type of emerald green light particle.
This emerald green light particle is the core of the Chaos Beast. Chaos Beasts have no souls. They only possess this life light particle, which is named the Chaos True Spirit.
All that is needed is to absorb the Chaos True Spirit into one’s body. It will then be directly absorbed by one’s own soul.
After absorbing the Chaos True Spirit, one’s soul will undergo some changes and become more compatible with the universe’s space.
…
“Luo Feng!”
A voice caused Luo Feng, who had not yet finished reading the stone tablet, to turn his head.
In the distance, the wild man Rong Jun was diving down from mid air. He landed heavily on the ground with a thud, then walked barefoot towards Luo Feng with a smile.
“Haha, I haven’t seen you come out for all these days. Are you also preparing to go outside the city to hunt Chaos Beasts? But you need to be careful. Quite a few people from our batch have already died while hunting Chaos Beasts.”
