First Encounter with Great Immortal Yang Mei, the Law of Space is Profound

Lin Yue returned to the valley with the little creature as dusk fell. The "dusk" in Chaos was different from Earth—no sunset glow, only gray airflows gradually dimming, replaced by countless tiny fluorescences that dotted the Chaos like stars in the sky, emitting faint yet warm light.

He settled the little creature by the water pool. The little one seemed to love the life energy here, its wings gently fluttering, leaving ripples on the water's surface. Lin Yue sat on a rock, took out the Space Fruit he had brought back from the secret realm, and prepared to comprehend the Law of Space within it.

The moment the Space Fruit touched his hand, a surge of pure space energy flowed into his body through his fingertips, even denser than the energy in the secret realm. Following the method Great Immortal Yang Mei had taught him, he used the Law of Space to guide the energy, slowly merging it into the Law Triangle in his Dantian. The moment the energy touched the triangle, it triggered a violent resonance. The patterns of the Law of Space manifested clearly within his body, like an invisible net covering his limbs and bones.

"So profound, the Law of Space!" Lin Yue couldn't help but exclaim. He could feel his understanding of space deepening rapidly—the "Space Folding" technique he had struggled to master before now came easily; he could even vaguely "see" the "nodes" of space. As long as he found the nodes, he could achieve long-distance teleportation with greatly reduced Chaos Qi consumption.

He tried mobilizing the energy of the Space Fruit, condensing a "Space Door" in front of him. The door was translucent, glowing with a faint blue light, and beyond it he could vaguely see the scene outside the valley. Lin Yue took a deep breath, stepped into the Space Door, and appeared at the valley entrance the next second—the teleportation distance reached thirty zhang, a fifty percent improvement!

"Success!" Lin Yue waved his hand excitedly. He could feel the Space Fruit's energy continuing to transform his body, increasing his affinity for the Law of Space to the point where he could unconsciously influence the surrounding space, causing the Chaos Airflow to part automatically on both sides.

Just as he was immersed in the joy of his improved strength, a green light suddenly flashed through the Chaos, and the figure of Great Immortal Yang Mei appeared at the valley entrance. The Great Immortal was still wearing that green robe, holding Snowball in his arms, followed by the little creature he had encountered earlier in the secret realm (it had somehow run off to play with Snowball).

"Little one, making good progress." Great Immortal Yang Mei smiled as he walked into the valley, his gaze falling on Lin Yue, a flicker of surprise in his eyes: "Able to condense a Space Door right after absorbing the Space Fruit—your comprehension is even better than I imagined."

"All thanks to the Great Immortal's guidance." Lin Yue quickly cupped his hands in salute, his attitude respectful. He knew that without the Great Immortal telling him about the Space Secret Realm, he could never have improved so quickly.

Great Immortal Yang Mei waved his hand, walked over to the water pool, and watched the two little creatures playing, saying with a smile: "These two little ones get along well. Snowball is my Companion Spirit Pet, skilled at sensing Space Nodes; the other is called 'Kong Yu,' the guardian creature of the Space Secret Realm, able to guide beings to find the secret realm. For you to encounter it is also fate."

Only then did Lin Yue learn the little creature's name. He looked at Kong Yu's transparent wings, his heart full of gratitude: "Thank you, Kong Yu, for leading me to the secret realm."

Kong Yu seemed to understand his words, flying onto his shoulder and rubbing its head against his cheek, showing great affection.

Great Immortal Yang Mei watched this scene, a hint of warmth in his eyes, then turned serious: "I came this time to tell you some things about Chaos. As you know, the Three Thousand Demon Gods have gathered at the Chaos Core, all vying for the 'Origin of Heaven Opening' within it—that is the key energy for opening the heavens. Whoever obtains it will hold a dominant position in the future heaven-opening."

Lin Yue's heart tightened: "Then Senior Pangu..."

"Don't worry, that guy Pangu's strength is not something those Demon Gods can match." Great Immortal Yang Mei interrupted him, a note of admiration in his tone: "But the Origin of Heaven Opening is too important, attracting many veteran Demon Gods, some of whom are skilled in schemes and plots. Staying by Pangu's side, you must be extra cautious, especially beware of 'Luohu'—that one controls the Law of Demonic Path, his methods ruthless, best at sowing discord. Half of the previous Demon God chaos was stirred up by him."

Lin Yue silently memorized the name "Luohu," his vigilance toward the coming challenges growing.

Great Immortal Yang Mei gave a few more instructions, then took out a small booklet condensed from space energy and handed it to Lin Yue: "This is my insight into comprehending the Law of Space, containing some high-level space techniques that might help you. Remember, the core of the Law of Space is 'flexibility'—don't be bound by fixed moves; learn to adapt to circumstances and improvise."

Lin Yue took the booklet, feeling its immense weight—this was not just a cultivation guide, but also the Great Immortal's trust and expectations. He carefully put the booklet away and bowed deeply to Great Immortal Yang Mei: "This junior will not disappoint the Great Immortal's hopes. I will study it well."

Great Immortal Yang Mei smiled, didn't linger long, and with Snowball in his arms and Kong Yu (who still had to guard the secret realm), turned into a green light and vanished into the Chaos.

Lin Yue stood in the valley, looking at the booklet in his hand, his heart filled with strength. He knew the chaos of Chaos was about to end, the prelude to opening the heavens was about to begin, and he had to improve his strength as quickly as possible to survive this great upheaval, even to become an aid to Senior Pangu.

He sat cross-legged, opened the booklet, and began to comprehend the space techniques within. The content was thorough yet accessible, from Space Folding to Space Seal, to advanced applications of Spatial Teleportation—each technique came with detailed Law trajectory diagrams, making everything clear at a glance.

As his comprehension deepened, Lin Yue's understanding of the Law of Space grew ever more profound. The Law Triangle in his Dantian became increasingly stable, and the color of the Golden Vortex shifted toward deep gold. He could feel himself drawing closer to "Chaos Peak"—just one more Space Fruit absorbed, and he could break through the bottleneck to reach a new realm.

Time passed bit by bit. The Chaos Airflow outside the valley gradually calmed, and the roars of the Demon Gods completely ceased. Lin Yue knew the chaos of Chaos was over, and Senior Pangu should be returning soon. He put away the booklet, organized the supplies in the valley, and prepared to welcome the next stage.

Just then, the valley's halo suddenly blazed with dazzling golden light, and a familiar figure appeared at the entrance—it was Pangu!

"Senior!" Lin Yue was both surprised and delighted, quickly running over. He noticed that although Pangu's aura was somewhat weakened, it was more condensed than before, and within the golden light around him was a trace of the Origin of Heaven Opening's energy—clearly, he had emerged victorious from the struggle at the Chaos Core.

Pangu looked at him, a hint of approval in his eyes, and handed over a golden crystal (condensed from the Origin of Heaven Opening), saying flatly: "Absorb. Breakthrough."

Lin Yue took the crystal, his heart full of gratitude. He knew the Senior wanted him to break through to Chaos Peak as soon as possible, to prepare for the coming heaven-opening. He bowed deeply to Pangu: "Thank you, Senior!"

Pangu said nothing more, only nodded, walked to the center of the valley, sat cross-legged, and began to recover his cultivation. Lin Yue also returned to his spot, gripping the Origin of Heaven Opening crystal, ready to charge toward Chaos Peak—he knew a new challenge was about to begin, and he was prepared.
