Profound Realm, River of Time

An Era passed in the blink of an eye.

One Era consisted of twelve periods, with each period lasting 18,000 years, making one Era 129,600 years long.

During this Era, Bai Yu had been entirely focused on comprehending the Source Laws, with no intention of leaving his current location.

After all, as a mere Celestial Immortal, he was at the absolute weakest level in the Primordial World and could easily perish the moment he stepped outside.

Therefore, Bai Yu believed it was crucial to lie low when necessary.

The current act of lying low was for future grander displays of power... cough cough...

Moreover, it had only been one Era, so Bai Yu didn't care at all.

One should know that a Tribulation lasted for fifty thousand Eras, which amounted to 6.48 billion years!

Thus, there was still a very, very, very long time until the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation erupted.

Besides the Creation Tribulation, the Primordial World had experienced three major Tribulations: the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the Witch-Demon Tribulation, and the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, with each Tribulation separated by fifty thousand Eras.

The Immeasurable Tribulation, rumored to be capable of even killing Sages, was incredibly long, spanning four hundred and eighty million Tribulations, which equated to 311.04 quintillion years.

Note, not billion years, but quintillion years!

Even Celestial Immortals in this Primordial World had no lifespan crisis. While the situation for Celestial Immortals in other worlds was unknown, Celestial Immortals here had already comprehended Source Laws, making a lifespan limit impossible.

After all, a perfected Celestial Immortal could control a Source Law. In some interpretations of the Primordial World, this was the configuration of a Sage...

[Host]: Bai Yu
[Origin]: Innate Manjusaka
[Realm]: Late Celestial Immortal (Source Immortal Path System)
[Cultivation Techniques]: Reincarnation Source Scripture, Karma Source Scripture, Destiny Source Scripture
[Source Laws]: Karma (70%), Destiny (60%), Reincarnation (30%), Time (10%), Space (10%)
[Source Great Dao]: None

"It seems my cheat isn't powerful enough," Bai Yu said with a smile.

Despite his words, the smile on his face clearly indicated his immense satisfaction with the results.

"Unfortunately, most of my time was spent comprehending the Karma and Destiny Laws. I only managed to grasp the Time and Space Laws to ten percent," Bai Yu said with a hint of helplessness.

Of course, he was crying crocodile tears, having already benefited greatly.

One must understand that apart from the Source Laws inherited from birth, comprehending a Source Law from scratch was exponentially more difficult than perfecting an inherited one!

Unless one possessed a treasure that carried the Source Law, such as a spiritual treasure or a spiritual root, it would be much, much easier.

However, these difficulties did not apply to Bai Yu.

While others had to painstakingly peel away layers of profound mist to comprehend Laws, Bai Yu experienced them differently.

The Source Laws would actively manifest themselves, even embracing Bai Yu directly...

Even without actively comprehending them, Bai Yu had a certain degree of understanding of various Source Laws, though far from ten percent.

After all, they practically came to him, like a free gift.

The joy of getting something for free is universally understood!

"Tsk, the System's Enlightenment function is unreasonably powerful..."

Bai Yu couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Without further comprehending Laws, Bai Yu stood up and looked around.

An Era had passed, yet everything around him seemed unchanged.

With a single step, Bai Yu vanished from his spot and reappeared thousands of miles away. Another step, and he was tens of thousands of miles away, moving as if strolling through a garden.

The spatial teleportation Bai Yu employed was merely a basic application of the Space Source Law.

Although Bai Yu hadn't cultivated or created any specific techniques or divine abilities, comprehending the Source Laws naturally led to the formation of such abilities.

After all, the existence of divine abilities and techniques was merely the manifestation of Source Laws.

Those flashy spells and divine abilities, at their root, were simply applications and expressions of various Laws and Great Daos.

Did Bai Yu need flashiness?

Clearly, he did not.

Setting aside other worlds, in this Primordial World, combat was not about flashy divine abilities or spells but direct collisions of Laws and the clash of Daos.

Of course, not everyone was like Bai Yu, able to easily comprehend various Source Laws. Therefore, for others, learning various spells and divine abilities was still very necessary. It could enrich their combat methods and also help them comprehend Source Laws through analogy.

"Although I really want to go out and see this world, I... I'll still lie low for now..."

Bai Yu glanced into the distance. Despite his desire to venture out, the current Primordial World was rampant with Ferocious Beasts.

Ferocious Beasts wouldn't reason with you; encountering them usually meant death.

However, with the speed brought by the Law of Space, I should be able to escape...

"Continue with the closed-door cultivation. Let's set a small goal: I won't leave until I reach the Profound Immortal stage!"

Bai Yu immediately began his closed-door cultivation, comprehending the Source Laws.

The process of comprehending laws wasn't tedious; far from it, it was incredibly exhilarating and interesting.

Thus, another hundred Yuanhui Eras passed...

Bai Yu's body emanated various profound energies, the power of laws surging, mysteries manifesting, divine light radiating, as if he were about to evolve the Primordial Chaos...

Gradually, the profound energies receded, the power of laws converged, and the multicolored radiance dispersed like smoke, all anomalies and mysteries vanishing.

Bai Yu slowly opened his eyes, deep as an abyss, a profound charm lingering, as if he could see through the entire world.

"Is this the Profound Realm?"

Bai Yu vaguely sensed a purple long river, traversing the entirety of the Primordial World.

This was the River of Time manifested by the Primordial World, mysterious and profound, seemingly containing all the mysteries of all beings and things in the Primordial World.

At this moment, in a daze, Bai Yu vanished from his spot, having directly entered the River of Time.

He felt the profundity of the River of Time, filled with the incomparably terrifying Source Time Great Dao.

This was a Source Great Dao, not a Source Law.

Bai Yu had already comprehended ten-tenths of the Law of Time, meaning perfect mastery of the Law of Time, yet he still couldn't even slightly stir this River of Time.

"The Great Dao has fifty paths, and Heaven's evolution has forty-nine. Could it be that the Primordial World contains forty-nine Source Great Daos in total?"

Bai Yu made a guess, but it was only a guess.

He knew very little about Source Great Daos, but he was certain that this manifested River of Time in the Primordial World was definitely the Source Time Great Dao!
