A Yuanhui Era passed in the blink of an eye.
One Yuan was twelve Hui, each Hui lasting 10,800 years. Thus, one Yuanhui Era lasted 129,600 years.
Throughout this Yuanhui Era, Bai Yu had been comprehending the Source Laws, with absolutely no intention of leaving.
After all, as a mere Celestial Immortal, he could be considered among the weakest ranks in the Primordial World. Who knew if he would die the moment he stepped outside?
Therefore, Bai Yu felt that when it was time to lie low, he absolutely had to lie low.
Lying low now was so he could live more freely later... Ahem...
Besides, it had only been one Yuanhui Era. Bai Yu did not care in the slightest.
One tribulation lasted fifty thousand Yuanhui Eras, after all—6.48 billion years!
So, there was still a very, very, very long time before the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation erupted.
Other than the Creation Tribulation, the Primordial World had experienced three tribulations: the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the Witch-Demon Tribulation, and the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. Each tribulation was separated by fifty thousand Yuanhui Eras.
As for the Immeasurable Tribulation, said to be capable of killing even Saints, it lasted a staggering 480 million tribulations—31.104 billion billion years.
Note, not hundreds of millions of years, but hundreds of millions upon hundreds of millions of years!
Even Celestial Immortals did not face the threat of exhausting their lifespan. Celestial Immortals from other worlds were another matter, but Celestial Immortals in this Primordial World had already comprehended the Source Laws. How could they possibly still exhaust their lifespans?
After all, a Celestial Immortal at Perfection could control a Source Law. In some moderately powered Primordial Worlds, that was the level of a Saint...
Host: Bai Yu Origin: Innate Manjusaka Cultivation: 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 overpowered enough." Bai Yu smiled.
Though he said that, the smile on his face made it clear that he was already extremely satisfied with these results.
"Unfortunately, I spent most of my time comprehending the Karma and Destiny Laws. I only comprehended the Time and Space Laws to ten percent." Bai Yu spoke somewhat helplessly.
Of course, he was clearly taking advantage and still complaining.
One had to know that, aside from Source Laws inherited innately, comprehending a Source Law from nothing was far, far more difficult than comprehending an innately inherited law to Perfection!
Unless one possessed some kind of treasure, such as a spiritual treasure or spiritual root carrying a Source Law, which would make things much, much easier.
But such limitations did not exist for Bai Yu.
Others comprehended laws by peeling away layer after layer of profound mist.
But what about Bai Yu?
The Source Laws took the initiative to reveal themselves and even directly embraced him...
Even if he did not deliberately comprehend them, Bai Yu had already gained some understanding of every kind of Source Law. It was simply far from ten percent.
After all, when something delivered itself to his door, it was practically free.
The joy of getting something for free—those who knew, knew!
"Tsk, the system's enlightenment function is absurdly powerful..."
Bai Yu could not help clicking his tongue inwardly.
He did not continue comprehending laws. Instead, Bai Yu stood up and looked around.
A Yuanhui Era had passed, yet everything around him seemed unchanged.
With one step, Bai Yu vanished from where he stood and appeared ten thousand li away. With another step, he appeared tens of thousands of li farther away, as casually as if he were strolling through a courtyard.
The Spatial Teleportation Bai Yu used was merely a basic application of the Space Source Law.
Although Bai Yu had not cultivated or created any spells or divine abilities, once he comprehended the Source Laws, divine abilities naturally took form.
After all, spells and divine abilities were merely manifestations of the Source Laws.
Those flashy spells and divine abilities, when traced back to their roots, were nothing more than methods of using and displaying various laws and Great Daos.
Did Bai Yu need such flashy tricks?
Clearly, he did not.
Setting other worlds aside, in this Primordial World, battles were not contests of flashy divine abilities and spells. They were direct clashes of laws, clashes of Dao.
Of course, not everyone was like Bai Yu and could easily comprehend all kinds of Source Laws. Thus, for others, learning various spells and divine abilities was still necessary. They could both diversify one's fighting methods and provide insights that aided in comprehending the Source Laws.
"Although I really want to go out and see this world, I should... keep lying low for now..."
Bai Yu glanced into the distance. He truly wanted to leave, but ferocious beasts were rampant throughout the Primordial World right now.
Ferocious beasts would not reason with anyone. Encountering one basically meant death.
Still, with the speed granted by the Space Law, he should be able to escape, right...
"Continue cultivating in seclusion. Let's set a small goal first: I won't leave until I reach the Profound Immortal realm!"
Bai Yu immediately began cultivating in seclusion, comprehending the Source Laws.
The process of comprehending laws was not dull. Not only was it not boring, it was exceptionally satisfying and interesting.
Thus, another hundred Yuanhui Eras passed...
Bai Yu's entire body radiated all kinds of profound auras. The power of laws surged around him, mysteries manifested, and divine light gleamed brilliantly, as though he were about to evolve chaos itself...
Gradually, the profound aura withdrew, the power of laws receded, and the multicolored radiance dispersed like smoke. All phenomena and mysteries vanished one after another.
Bai Yu slowly opened his eyes. They were deep as an abyss, their profound charm lingering for a long while, as though they could see through heaven and earth themselves.
"Is this the Profound Realm?"
Vaguely, Bai Yu sensed a purple river running through the entire Primordial World.
It was the manifested River of Time of the Primordial World, profound beyond comprehension, as though it contained every mystery of all beings and things within the Primordial World.
At that moment, Bai Yu vaguely vanished from where he stood and directly entered the River of Time.
He sensed the mysteries of the River of Time, which was filled with the incomparably terrifying Time Source Great Dao.
This was a Source Great Dao, not a Source Law.
Bai Yu had already comprehended the Time Law to one hundred percent, achieving Perfection in the Time Law, yet he still could not affect the River of Time in the slightest.
"The Great Dao has fifty; Heaven's evolution has forty-nine. Could it be that the Primordial World contains forty-nine Source Great Daos?"
Bai Yu had a conjecture, but it was only a conjecture.
Bai Yu knew very little about the Source Great Dao, but one thing was certain: this manifested River of Time in the Primordial World was absolutely the Time Source Great Dao!
