Time Stagnation

"When did you begin to study the essence of the Time Origin Law?"

The thin man in the white robe faced Lin Yan. His expression was still unreadable, but his tone of voice could no longer maintain its previous calm and indifference.

He could only wonder if Lin Yan had started down the path of analyzing the essence much earlier, rather than after the Genius Battle.

But...

King Tong Nan himself understood that such a possibility was not high.

If Lin Yan had already grasped some kind of essence during the Genius Battle, and others couldn't see it, how could he possibly hide it from the "Nine Swords Venerable," who was extremely strong even among the Universe Venerable?

If it weren't for that time... what a talent it must be to have comprehended these three essences in just over a year!

"From the moment I joined the Virtual Universe Company," Lin Yan confessed. "I was Primal Secret Region Member and was also given an extra reward by the Venerable One, a total of 200,000 points, which I used to buy the first three volumes of 'Time-Space Essays' and 'Cosmic Combination Theory'."

"Then I tried to analyze the essence of the Universe Origin Law through these two profound books."

Lin Yan humbly said, "Although it was difficult, we still achieved some results."

Upon hearing this, King Tong Nan remained silent for a long time.

Difficult?

I just laughed!

Is this even human language?

If others don't understand him, how could he not understand? Those geniuses who entered the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle are qualified to cultivate in Chaos City for 30 years. During these 30 years, taking the "Cosmic Extreme Chaos Stele" as an example, there are very few people who can comprehend the first picture to a basic degree.

Once you've grasped the basics, you can start working on the next picture, but this is vastly different from analyzing its essence.

Only by fully understanding the nine essential aspects of the first picture can one say that they have grasped its essence to the fullest extent.

Normally, one cultivates directly from one image to another. At the beginning, cultivation is very fast, but it becomes more and more difficult as one progresses. The more one progresses, the more one feels that the Universe Origin Law are mysterious and difficult to see through.

Many immortal beings, even those Marquis, have never truly understood the essence of existence.

Later on, it becomes even more difficult to comprehend the Law essence, because starting from the Fourth Diagram, it involves the combination of the law system, and those insights will interfere with the analysis of the essence.

Um.

He understands the principles.

But...

What are the difficulties this person is facing?

How come I feel even more relaxed than others who normally experience this!

"The 'Cosmic Combination Theory' can indeed be of great help in your analysis of the Time essence." King Tong Nan paused, still somewhat speechless after thinking it over, "But... what's the deal with 'Time-Space Essays'?"

"Do you intend to cultivate both time and space?"

He had witnessed Lin Yan's Law Comprehension, and frankly, he couldn't find any fault with it.

Lin Yan blinked. "I heard that after entering the Initial Universe, you can choose the Chaos Stele. The 'Universe Chaos Stele' explains the ultimate 'Path of Space-Time'. I think this opportunity is very rare, so I do have the idea of developing in this direction."

"However, since I was preparing to take the path of analyzing the Law essence, I did not choose 'The Chaos Principle' which corresponds to the 'Universe Chaos Stele', but instead bought these two sets of books."

"Teacher, is there a problem?"

King Tong Nan was taken aback.

Whether it's analyzing the Law essence or the "Universe stream," both are incredibly difficult paths. Logically speaking, he should have used his rich experience and exceptional insight to advise him against doing so, suggesting that focusing his energy on one of them might be the only way to succeed.

Trying to do too much at once will lead to failure.

But...

Lin Yan's behavior made it impossible for him to say such a thing.

Perhaps Lin Yan's talent truly allows him to accomplish things that are unimaginable to ordinary people? We can't let our own presumptuous experience change Lin Yan's mind.

At the level of King Tong Nan, he naturally understood that comprehending the laws was the easiest thing to do before becoming immortal, especially during the World Master period, when every law was intimately familiar.

When one reaches immortality, the soul is completely integrated into the divine body and becomes a part of it. The divine body is composed of Immortal Divine Power and can be considered a part of the ocean of the Law origin laws. If one tries to comprehend other laws, one will be strongly rejected, and the difficulty will increase by tens of thousands or millions of times.

For him, he had grasped the Law of Light, and the Time Origin Law were only one barrier away from being fully comprehended. However, he could hardly cultivate the Space Law.

Lin Yan has such talent, so letting him try is the best course of action. If things don't work out, it's never too late to change course.

King Tong Nan sighed softly, "Judging from your demonstration just now, you must have thought deeply about these things, and there is nothing that needs to be corrected. But since you have such ambition, you must put in more effort."

"I can give you guidance on the Time Law, but you'll have to rely on yourself on the Space Law."

Lin Yan respectfully replied, "Thank you, teacher!"

"Hmm." King Tong Nan nodded. "Since you are using a sword, I will use a sword to demonstrate the first diagram of the 'Cosmic Extreme Chaos Stele' for you."

Lin Yan's eyes were clear and bright, and he focused his mind and energy.

King Tong Nan stretched out his hand, and an ancient battle sword suddenly appeared in his hand. At the same time, the space in the cultivation field changed and transformed into an endless sea.

The vast sea reflects the azure sky above, like a mirror of the sky, meeting the horizon in the distance.

"Clang!"

The slender figure in white robes gently raised his sword. His figure was ethereal, as if he no longer existed in this time and space. In Lin Yan's eyes, the world was empty and desolate.

In boundless wabi-sabi.

Laugh!

King Tong Nan swung his sword, and instantly the vast sea lost its appearance of water, like a shattered mirror. The endless fragments were dazzling, but gradually disappeared.

Then, this entire world, like a flat sheet of paper, was slashed open by a sword and vanished instantly!

Lin Yan's pupils contracted.

In the span of that single sword strike, time seemed to freeze, and all things lost their natural evolutionary process. Thus, the ocean ceased to be water, and the world became as thin as paper.

Space and time are the forms of existence of matter in motion.

Space is the extensiveness of the existence of matter, while time is the continuity and sequence of the process of material movement.

"The Space Law can be applied in an incredibly wide range of ways, with the ultimate paths being teleportation, Strangulation, and blockade," King Tong Nan said coldly. "But the path of time is limited to the flow of time itself. However, behind this simplistic appearance lies the most cruel truth."

"Your profound abilities mean that you can influence more powerful things and directly deprive them of the extension of their life."

The sword in King Tong Nan's hand vanished instantly, and he said calmly, "I hope that one day you will be able to truly see what a wondrous experience it would be to live in a world where time is frozen."

Lin Yan pursed his lips, then smiled slightly.

"Yes, teacher."

He sighed softly, "One day, I will see such a world."

From that day on, Lin Yan began to study under King Tong Nan.

His cultivation of the "Desirelessness" secret technique reached a bottleneck when his Psionic Amplitude reached 87, and further progress became relatively slow. After all, he was only at the first level of the Cosmic level, and his foundation was still weak.

This is already the Psionic Amplitude at the normal World Lord level!

However, as his Law Comprehension improved, he was able to make some progress in cultivating the "Desireless" secret technique.

A three-year journey.

Lin Yan did not slack off in the slightest, and his progress was remarkable. Even King Tong Nan was impressed by his talent and paid more and more attention to his cultivation.

Because Lin Yan had already used up all his points, King Tong Nan purchased two sets of top-tier basic secret techniques through the Virtual Universe Company's treasury. Both techniques explained and analyzed the essence of the Universe Law. One was "Shi Yu," which corresponded to the first three images of the "Cosmic Extreme Chaos Stele," and the other was "Blood Drift," which corresponded to the first three images of the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele."

This will allow Lin Yan to gain insights and understanding by analogy through these two secret techniques.

During these three years, Lin Yan was completely immersed in the pleasure of dissecting the Law essence. He did not find it boring at all, but instead found a unique enjoyment in it.

Meanwhile—

The silver-gray triangular F-class ship travels through the Dark Universe at a constant speed of 20 times the speed of light.

The three-year period has come to an end!

Nalan... Pah!

The Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters is finally within reach!
