Thirty Years Later!

A giant, dark blue fish, nearly a kilometer long, was flying through the unstable Chaos of the Initial Universe.

Inside this "big fish".

"Long Yu, how is this batch of new recruits doing?" The Azure-Robed Purple-Scaled Man asked indifferently as he sat on the throne.

"Your Majesty, of the 1,000 geniuses in this group, 821 are still alive," Longyu King, dressed in azure battle armor and with flowing purple hair, replied with a bow.

"The most outstanding among them is Lin Yan, who passed the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge his third year and has not passed it since. Next is Bolan, who made rapid progress after changing his comprehension path and has now passed the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge. Then there is Luo Feng, who also performed very well. He passed the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge in his 21st year."

"The best result of the previous batch of newcomers from the Virtual Universe Company during their time in Chaos City was the fourth level. The performance of this batch of newcomers is already far ahead."

The other dozen or so immortals waited respectfully.

The Nine Swords Venerable sat on his throne, listening intently. He nodded slightly and murmured, "To be able to pass the seventh level in the third year—such talent is truly terrifying."

"Given his speed of comprehending the laws, he should be able to cross the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge by now."

Thinking of Lin Yan, the Nine Swords Venerable even felt a little regretful.

If I had known this would happen, I would have taken him as my disciple during the Genius Battle.

Although Lin Yan was brought to Chaos City by him and should still be under his command after becoming an immortal, things are different now. Lin Yan is now a disciple of the Mu Xing Country Lord.

The Mu Xing Country Lord is more powerful than him. Moreover, Mu Xing Universe Country is also one of the most powerful Universe Country among the 1008 Universe Nations.

With Lin Yan's talent, the Nine Swords Venerable could easily think of Ke Di back then, who was able to kill King-level Immortal at the World Lord level. If Lin Yan could also do that, once he became an Immortal, he could directly become King Rank. When he reached the level of True Yan King, he could form his own faction.

Even the Nine Swords Venerable could not stop it.

At that time, Lin Yan will definitely choose to seek refuge with his teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, rather than the Nine Swords Venerable.

However, there were still Bolan, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun, all of whom were rare and exceptional geniuses, which gave the Nine Swords Venerable some comfort.

Rumble...

The spaceship continued its journey.

Time flows by like a never-ending river.

The ancient Chaos City, shrouded in Chaos Qi flow, has existed for hundreds of millions of years.

On the rooftop of a certain Cultivation Residence.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged, eyes closed and motionless, quietly contemplating, while others were unaware of... the Void Space within his crystal core.

The Blade Wings behind the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone vibrated at a high frequency, communicating with the origin of the Universe Space and resonating with Space Fluctuation.

Call!

The surrounding area blurred instantly, space and time were manipulated at the same time, and tens of thousands of Phantom Body appeared in the world, with countless Phantom Body flashing continuously.

Laugh!

The forelimbs, like War Blade, swept through the air so fast that they were now just barely visible Green Silk Threads in mid-air!

If others were to witness this scene, they would be utterly astonished. This was a manifestation that could only be produced by an extremely high level of Origin Law Comprehension of space. He swung his War Blade, but could only see a Green Silk Threads, which was caused by cutting through space.

This is an ability that only a very few World Master, but given the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone's special physique and extraordinary comprehension, it can already achieve this at the Cosmic level.

For the past thirty years, the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone has almost never stopped, completely immersed in analyzing the essence of the Universe Law, and hardly aware of the passage of time.

"Boom!"

On the rooftop, Lin Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, was surrounded by a shockwave that dispersed dust. Then he opened his eyes.

Those pupils, which were like deep, dark pools, suddenly gleamed with a sharp light.

"Thirty years... are we about to leave Chaos City?"

He stood up and looked into the distance. The world was vast and silent, and the ancient city was exactly the same as when he first arrived.

It will last forever.

In his third year in Chaos City, Lin Yan passed the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge. Due to the tenfold reward for newcomers, he accumulated 127,000 points. After using 100,000 of these points to purchase the first three volumes of "The Chaos Principle", Lin Yan never crossed the Tongtian Bridge again.

Apart from occasionally spending time with his family, Lin Yan devoted all his energy to rigorous cultivation.

In the blink of an eye.

Thirty years have passed.

He is about to leave this place and head to the Original Secret Realm.

Lin Yan's consciousness connected with the Virtual Universe, and his figure immediately appeared in his manor.

His gaze swept across the room and he saw a slender figure in a white robe sitting leisurely in the quiet courtyard next door, sipping tea.

He then stepped forward.

"Teacher," Lin Yan said respectfully.

King Tong Nan smiled and said, "Sit."

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of amber-colored tea into a thin stream for Lin Yan.

"Lin Yan, the 'tea' you developed is really good. I used to prefer fruit wine, but now I think this drink is the one I like best."

King Tong Nan smiled and praised, "Even that guy Zhen Yan likes it very much."

"I'm glad you teachers like it," Lin Yan said with a smile.

Thirty years have passed in Chaos City, while one hundred years have passed in the Primordial Universe.

Jiuzhou Company has already promoted "tea" to the world, simulating the cultivation of tea in different environments on many planets in Virtual Universe, and developing various new types of tea, which have received an excellent response in the market.

Because the Virtual Universe is protected by patents, Jiuzhou Company has a large number of patent registrations in the Virtual Universe Network. Even if other companies discover some secrets, they cannot copy them, otherwise they will have to pay huge patent usage fees.

Tea Beverage have now become one of Jiuzhou Company's cash cows, generating substantial profits.

Certainly.

Nothing in this world is new. Lin Yan's identity is the guarantee of Jiuzhou Company's rapid development. Otherwise, the so-called patent protection cannot protect human lives. Once people are dead, business can naturally continue.

Among these, the most precious tea is called "the Undying Medicine".

It is the "Undying Medicine - Ancient Dao Tea Tree", an important plot item in the game "Kunlun", that is a precious tea tree specially cultivated in the Virtual Universe environment with the help of some scientific research results of the Virtual Universe Company. The investment is huge, and it is also intended to make up for the layout of the high-end market, which has a low output.

Lin Yan sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. A mellow aroma lingered in his mouth, giving him an incredibly wonderful feeling, which he could fully express through his heart.

"Lin Yan, you will be leaving Chaos City in ten days," King Tong Nan said softly. "After a while, I will also need to begin my seclusion and arduous cultivation to create a new secret technique, so... our teacher-student relationship may have to end here."

Lin Yan felt a mix of emotions.

"Thank you for your guidance over the past thirty years, Teacher." Lin Yan stood up, then knelt down heavily, prostrating himself, and said, "I will forever remember your cultivation and will never let you down."

Given the status and position of the King Tong Nan, it is an immense favor that he was willing to guide Lin Yan for thirty years.

Furthermore, they prepared numerous Soul Secret Techniques for Lin Yan, including the self-created "Heavenly Punishment" technique, the value of which is immeasurable, allowing Lin Yan to lay such a solid foundation in the realm of the soul.

He was usually very kind to him, Lin Yan could naturally see the sincerity and expectations that King Tong Nan had for him.

Although their Master-Disciple was only temporary, King Tong Nan never cared about any gains or losses.

"Get up," King Tong Nan. "Although I cannot open my eyes to see the world due to some special reasons, I, Tong Nan, have never misjudged anyone in my life. Lin Yan, these thirty years in Chaos City are merely the beginning of your cultivation. There will be many dangers and tribulations ahead, so you must be careful. If I were to express my expectations for you..."

King Tong Nan Tongnan smiled and said, "I hope that one day I will see you become stronger than me."

"Yes!" Lin Yan nodded emphatically.

Lin Yan believed it.

I will be able to do that one day.

These thirty years of travel in Chaos City have greatly improved my understanding of the Universe Origin. I have studied the "Universe Chaos Stele", consulted with King Tong Nan and True Yan King, received guidance from the Mu Xing Country Lord, and studied three sets of priceless books: "Time-Space Essays", "Cosmic Combination Theory" and "The Chaos Principle".

And the top-tier foundational secret techniques "Blood Drift" and "Shi Yu" that analyze the Law essence.

Such conditions are unimaginable to others, and Lin Yan's own talent is exceptional, making progress that is beyond the comprehension of others.

It was even faster than he had imagined.

By the sixth year, he had fully comprehended the Law essence in the Second Diagram. From then on, Lin Yan had completely comprehended the Second Diagram the "Universe Chaos Stele".

The first picture is the simplest.

The Second Diagram is more difficult, while the third picture, with its 72 essential elements of time and space, is the most profound.

After comprehending the Second Diagram, Lin Yan began to study the third diagram of the "Universe Chaos Stele". It took him more than four years, but he only managed to comprehend the third diagram normally, reaching 100 points. However, he did not comprehend any of the 72 kinds of time and Space essence!

For normal understanding, as long as you grasp the Conception in the picture and can apply it yourself, you are considered "qualified".

But what Lin Yan needs to do is not that; he needs to truly see through the essence of things!

For example, an exam paper may contain regular questions and bonus questions.

If you get all the regular questions right, you get 100 points. If you get both the regular questions and the bonus questions right, you get 150 points!

Lin Yan's first and Second Diagram both scored 150 points, but his third painting was stuck at 100 points and he just couldn't get past that hurdle.

Disaster!

Extremely difficult!

Even with his understanding of the "Universe Chaos Stele" and the explanations from King Tong Nan teacher, Lin Yan only accumulated more insights, but he still couldn't concretize those abstract insights.

But at this moment...

The Mu Xing Country Lord teacher agreed to examine his studies every ten years and to give him lessons based on his situation.

It's time for the second lecture.

Lin Yan only gave a brief demonstration, and the Mu Xing Country Lord immediately understood it. That lecture specifically for Lin Yan lasted for a month.

In just one month, the door to the latter seventy-two Space essence, which Lin Yan had been unable to grasp for more than four years, was opened.

His previous fragmented insights were vague and incomplete. However, after studying the Universe Chaos Stele, Lin Yan accumulated knowledge and skills, and in just half a year, he comprehended two of the 72 most profound Space essence.

He further grasped three aspects of the Time essence.

Subsequent enlightenment is not so easy. But because one has already entered the field and has gained experience and skills, one can go from being able to understand one essence in the first two years to being able to understand one essence in a year.

The efficiency actually increases as you go further.

By now, Lin Yan has comprehended 20 of the 72 most profound Space essence and 17 of the Time essence.

Yes.

As a truly Special Lifeform, the Green Line Devouring Worm has a significant advantage in comprehending the laws of nature, allowing it to surpass Lin Yan and make his understanding of space much stronger than his understanding of the Time Law.

Unfortunately, Chaos City only lasted thirty years. If he had been given several more decades, he could have fully comprehended the Law essence.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Chaos City.

Amidst the drifting air currents, Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the rooftop of his Cultivation Residence, looking up at the externally manifested, gear-like, intertwined Law Secret Patterns in the sky, before closing his eyes to meditate.

"Come see me immediately!" A voice rang directly in Lin Yan's ears and mind.

"Come to me immediately!"

"Come to me immediately!"

"..."

The sound echoed repeatedly, causing all 821 of the 1,000 geniuses who were sent to the hospital to stop cultivating.

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. "Has the Nine Swords Venerable arrived yet?"

The Nine Swords Venerable's visit to Chaos City was undoubtedly to escort them away from the Initial Universe and to their respective secret realms.

He transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the location of the Nine Swords Venerable.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In the vast and boundless Chaos City, amidst the swirling currents, figures soared into the sky, all flying in the same direction.

Above Chaos City, a giant, dark blue fish, nearly a thousand meters long, flew over from the Chaos Space that was sometimes broken and sometimes solidified, its tail fins swaying slowly.

Click!

The hatch in the belly of the "big fish" opened, and more than ten figures flew out. The leader was a man with purple scales wearing a blue battle robe. His aura of superiority, which made people involuntarily submit, immediately spread out.

"Snort!

The Nine Swords Venerable let out a cold snort.

Like a god, his indifferent eyes looked down at the large group of people below. His astonishing pressure even spread into Chaos City, making it feel like an ant being stared at by a giant dragon.

Many geniuses held their breath.

The Venerable One is angry!

"I am very disappointed in you." The Nine Swords Venerable stood in the void, coldly looking at the large group of people below. "If nearly 20% of you can die in such a safe place as Chaos City, I'm afraid that after you return to your Primordial Universe, it will only take a hundred years for only 500 of you to die."

Silence.

None of the geniuses dared to utter a sound; they could only listen obediently.

In Chaos City, killing is strictly forbidden for humans. The nearly two hundred people who died died while hunting Chaos Beast.

"You will be leaving Chaos City in ten days," the Nine Swords Venerable said indifferently. "Now, those who should attempt to cross the Tongtian Bridge should do so, and those who should study the Chaos Stele should do so as soon as possible. If you want to come back again, it will be a very, very long time from now."

The Nine Swords Venerable said coldly, "Go, all of you."

"Yes!"

A large group of people responded respectfully.

They immediately scattered and flew off in all directions from Chaos City.

Lin Yan first went to the City Lord's Mansion to investigate. The secret chamber for comprehending the Universe Chaos Stele will not be open to the next batch of cultivators until noon tomorrow.

"I will first use this last bit of cultivation time to integrate the insights I have gained over the years into one, adjust my state to its peak, and then go to challenge the Tongtian Bridge."

Understanding is very important.

It is also important to know how to apply and utilize the principles of enlightenment.

After making up his mind, Lin Yan returned to the rooftop of his Cultivation Residence, closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and his consciousness entered the cultivation field of the Virtual Universe, where he was practicing again and again.

Meanwhile, in the Tongtian Bridge Plane.

Each genius wanted to try one last time before leaving Chaos City, Rong Jun successfully passed the fourth level.

Every three levels is a threshold, and it is extremely difficult to go from the third to the fourth level. Rong Jun spent 17 years in Chaos City trying to achieve this.

Luo Feng successfully passed the sixth level.

With the help of "Time-Space Essays", he not only fully comprehended the first picture of "Nine Universes Chaos Stele", but also gained a basic understanding of the Second Diagram, and even comprehended several of the basic mysteries of the Second Diagram.

Bolan successfully passed the seventh level.

Suddenly--

Lin Yan opened his eyes, his star-like pupils brimming with fighting spirit.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

"The Tongtian Bridge?"

Where will we go this time?

Lin Yan smiled, and a wisp of his consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe Network.

Thank you to "Yuan Pingsheng Zhuguang Chuangying Buyan" for the 2100-point reward, thank you to "Yi Jie" for the 1666 book coins reward, thank you to book friend "20180327211735823" for the 500-point reward, thank you to "Xun Gen Shu Wen Cao Xin" for the 200-point reward, and thank you to "An An O" for the 200-point reward.
