Can't Even Learn This?

Lin Yi's gaze was fixed on those five words.

"Nine Seal Cosmos Art..."

Li looked at the name of the cultivation technique on the light screen and continued, "This cultivation technique is the foundation of a complete set of techniques from the True Source Realm to the Constant Source Realm, created by the Emperor at the request of our Imperial Army Imperial Army's Supreme Commander, General Kailuo." The True Source Realm corresponds to this <Nine Seal Cosmos Art>.

Created by the Emperor!

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Li noticed Lin Yi's solemn expression, but he wasn't surprised. He had the same attitude when he first heard that this technique was created by the Emperor.

Or rather, any spiritual practitioner would have this attitude.

Therefore, he paused for a moment to let Lin Yi process the news before continuing, "The special thing about this technique is that it is not based on a specific Origin Law; Origin Law can be used to cultivate it..."

"Because it uses the nine Origin Law that cultivators have practiced as keys to decipher the Chaos Rules, and then uses the Chaos Rules to reinforce these Origin Law in reverse, thereby condensing nine Cosmic Universe Seal."

As he spoke, Li pointed his finger in the air, and nine faint lights of different colors appeared. They were then enveloped and merged by a wisp of gray airflow, eventually transforming into nine illusory marks of different shapes, which floated in mid-air.

"Of course, the higher the level of the Origin Law one has cultivated, the more difficult it is to cultivate the corresponding Cosmic Universe Seal. However, once cultivated, the power of that Cosmic Universe Seal will be stronger." Li waved his hand to disperse the seal, "These nine Cosmic Universe Seal can not only aid in comprehending the Chaos Rules, but each seal also possesses unique power. When the nine seals are combined, one can even touch a trace of the power of the Chaos Law, making them invincible in the True Source Realm."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's heart stirred.

Although he had inquired about advanced techniques, he hadn't actually made up his mind.

The reason is simple.

In order to break through to the True Source Realm, he had almost exhausted all the Spiritual Enlightenment Qi he had accumulated, leaving only a little over an Epoch. He was currently quite poor.

His greatest advantage is that, thanks to the Purple Mist Space, there are almost no barriers to his soul comprehension.

He could have followed Lord Li's advice, chosen a mid-level cultivation technique, and then focused his main efforts on breaking through his cultivation level.

As long as one can quickly improve their cultivation level, they can then use that advantage to suppress others... it's like the strong bullying the weak.

Even if you happen to have a disagreement with a strong opponent of the same level, you can simply leave the grudge for now.

After all, many powerful individuals are unable to break through to the next level and can only rack their brains to become stronger within their current realm. Lin Yi felt that it was normal for him to be unable to match them for the time being. At worst, he could come back and demand an explanation when he broke through to the next realm.

However, now that he hears Li say that the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art> actually has the effect of assisting in comprehending the Chaos Rules, its significance is completely different.

His biggest weakness in the past was that he felt his brain wasn't quite up to par.

Without the aid of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi, he was completely baffled by anything at the True Source Realm.

As for treasures that can permanently enhance one's comprehension, they certainly exist, and there are quite a few.

Even the "Cosmic Source Soul Crystal," which raises the user's comprehension to the point of reaching the Perfect Cosmic Source Realm, is a second-to-last comprehension treasure besides the Star Soul Crystal. According to the Blood Crystal, it is said that only an Eternal Source Realm expert, along with many rare treasures, can refine one crystal.

He checked the military merit badge as soon as he received it. The Cosmic Source Soul Crystal did exist in the military merit system, but only those at the Eternal Source Realm or with equivalent authority were eligible to apply for its exchange.

With his current sergeant-level access, he can only see the names, not even the exchange prices.

Lin Yi originally thought he would have to wait until he reached almost the Eternal Source Realm before he could improve his comprehension.

Even if you don't exchange it through the military merit system, you would need financial resources comparable to the Eternal Source Realm to buy it through other channels. Now it seems that the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art> can also indirectly improve comprehension.

In this way, this technique becomes one of the most cost-effective.

Moreover, with stronger combat capabilities, it's easier to earn military merits and acquire resources faster.

But here's the problem: this technique has so many benefits, yet it's listed as the most difficult to cultivate; there must be a reason for that.

Therefore, Lin Yi hurriedly asked, "My lord, this <Nine Seal Cosmos Art> has so many benefits, surely many people cultivate it? Moreover, since this technique was specially created for our Imperial Army by the Emperor, it should have considerable universality, and cultivating it shouldn't be particularly difficult."

Upon hearing this, Li's lips twitched slightly, his expression somewhat subtle.

"There are indeed many people who practice cultivation," he said. "Not only many, but it can be said that almost every member of the Imperial Army has tried cultivation."

Lin Yi was taken aback.

"However..." Li continued, "Although this technique is available to all Imperial Army soldiers and can be exchanged for only five thousand military merits—even cheaper than the <True Source Nether-Sundering Battle Canon>—it's just too difficult to master."

He looked at Lin Yi and sighed, "Because this technique requires too much comprehension. Many people who learn it can't even condense a single seal. And the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art> requires three seals to be condensed before its power is comparable to the perfect <True Source Nether-Sundering Battle Canon>. Therefore, almost no one treats it as their main cultivation technique. Instead, they exchange for it to see if they can condense one or two Cosmic Universe Seal to improve their speed of comprehending the Chaos Rules."

He paused, then added, "As far as I know, the last person in our Silent Cosmos Domain's Imperial Army to have mastered the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art> was over 30,000 Universal Epoch ago."

"As for your question about the Emperor creating this technique specifically for our Imperial Army, and therefore having considerable universality..." He gave a wry smile, "According to rumors, when the Emperor created this technique and gave it to General Kailuo, Kailuo raised a question, saying that this technique was a bit too difficult, and whether they could really learn it?"

"But the Emperor countered with a question: 'Are there cultivators who can't even learn this?'"

These words left the general speechless. Upon returning, he made this series of techniques available to the entire army at an extremely low exchange price, adding, "If you can't learn them, reflect on your own shortcomings."

After saying that, Li sighed, "Fortunately, this cultivation technique is cheap to exchange, and as long as you can get the basics down and master one seal, it will also help you comprehend the rules. So the Emperor's efforts can not be considered wasted."

Lin Yi fell silent upon hearing this.

From the Emperor's words, he sensed a deep malice towards low-intelligence cultivators.

"However... thankfully, I have the Purple Mist Space! Besides, what if this Purple Mist Space is actually Emperor's Legacy? Maybe this guy's talent is just an act..."

Lin Yi comforted himself with this thought, and after pondering it for a moment, he decided to focus on this particular cultivation technique.

After all, the only requirement for this technique seems to be comprehension, but that's what he's least afraid of.

Besides, since everyone has tried cultivation, he should practice even more.

Therefore, after only a moment's thought, Lin Yi said, "My lord, I plan to exchange for the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art> first."

Li was not surprised by Lin Yi's choice.

Those who have reached this stage of cultivation should not give up simply because they have heard others say it is difficult; they should always try it themselves.

"I can teach you the technique," he said. "However, if you cannot condense the first seal within one Universal Epoch, you must switch to another technique immediately. This is not a suggestion, but a requirement. Otherwise, you will waste too much time on a dead end."

Lin Yi knew Li meant well, so he nodded and said, "Understood."

Then, he continued to inquire, "Sir, besides the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art>, what other cultivation manuals should we purchase?"

"Of course," Li said. "You also need to exchange for <Analysis of Chaos Rules - Book 1> and <Chaos Rules Application - Book 2>."

"Volume 1" and "Military Drill Manual - Sergeant Level." You would have been told these by Mantaji after you went to him, but since you're here, I'll teach you them all at the same time after you've exchanged them."

"Yes, thank you, sir."

Lin Yi immediately activated the sergeant's badge.

He immersed his consciousness into it and opened the military merit exchange interface.

<Nine Seal Cosmos Art>: 5000 military merits.

<Analysis of Chaos Rules - Book 1>: 8000 military merits.

<Chaos Rules Application - Volume 1>: 12000 military merits.

<Military Drill Manual - Sergeant>: 6000 military merits.

Total: 31,000 military merits.

Lin Yi confirmed the exchange immediately.

Li's badge access allows him to view the publicly available exchange information of his subordinates. After seeing Lin Yi make the exchange, he raised his hand and gestured, and four information crystals quickly solidified and floated in front of Lin Yi.

"The 'Analysis of Chaos Rules ' and ' Chaos Rules Application ' are the foundation; go back and study them yourself. You must memorize the 'Military Manual,' which stipulates the basic duties of sergeants, battlefield discipline, emergency response procedures, and so on," Li said. "If you have any questions, you can ask Mantaji or Zero Three."

"Yes."

Lin Yi put away the four crystals and then prepared to take his leave.

"No rush," Lord Li raised his hand to stop him.

As he spoke, another slightly smaller silver crystal condensed.

"These are my personal insights into the books you just exchanged, mainly focusing on the difficulties in <Analysis of Chaos Rules> and <Chaos Rules Application>," Li said. "As for <Nine Seal Cosmos Art>, although I've only condensed one seal, it should be enough for your initial reference. It contains my insights from when I condensed my first seal, as well as some common methods for avoiding mistakes."

Lin Yi accepted the silver crystal and carefully put it away. "Thank you, sir."

"Go then." Lord Li waved his hand. "Report to Mantaji. He will arrange your equipment and follow-up tasks."

"Yes."

Lin Yi bowed again, then turned and left the bridge.

The arched gate closed silently behind them.

Lin Yi stood in the corridor outside the bridge, with Zero Three's Light Sphere silently hovering beside him.

"Zero Three, please take me to Captain Mantaji."

"Received. Please follow me."

As Lin Yi passed through two corridors and crossed an intersection, he caught a glimpse of several blood-armored warriors emerging from a side passage.

When they saw Zero Three and Lin Yi, they paused slightly, their gaze lingering on Lin Yi for a moment.

One of the soldiers nodded slightly to Lin Yi as a greeting.

Lin Yi also took the lead in responding.

Without pausing, Zero Three continued forward.

After turning two more corners, a heavy metal door appeared ahead. There were no markings on the door, only a dark red sensor area on the side of the door.

"Mantaji is inside," Zero Three said.

The moment the words left his mouth, the metal door slid open silently.

Behind the door was a small room with dark metallic walls and no decorations.

Mantaji is inside.

He saw Lin Yi, his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes swept over Lin Yi.

"They've arrived."

"Captain Mantaji, Lin Yi reporting."

Lin Yi bowed slightly.

Mantaji waved his hand. "Zero Three has already told me. Lord Li has already told you about the cultivation technique, so I won't go on and on."

He walked to one side of the room and operated the controls a few times.

A hidden compartment slid silently open in the wall, revealing several blood-red metal spheres neatly arranged inside, each only the size of a thumb.

Mantaji took out two coins, turned around and handed them to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi reached out and took it.

The two metal spheres felt slightly cool to the touch and were almost weightless.

"These are standard equipment," Mantaji said. "One of them can automatically adapt to your body shape and transform into the Fierce Blood Battle Armor. The other can transform into a weapon according to your wishes."

"Both of these are treasures at the mid-stage of the True Source Realm. The Fierce Blood Battle Armor is enough to reduce 90% of the Chaos Rules attacks from a mid-stage True Source Realm cultivator, while the weapon is sufficient to withstand and amplify rule attacks from a mid-stage True Source Realm cultivator. For soldiers who have just entered the True Source Realm, this is more than enough."

Lin Yi looked at the crimson metal sphere in his hand, sensing the subtle energy fluctuations contained within it.

"But remember," Mantaji's tone became more serious, "You only have the right to use these equipment, not ownership."

If the item is damaged outside of a mission, and you wish to reapply, the corresponding combat merits will be deducted.

He glanced at Lin Yi: "Believe me, you don't want to know how much this will cost."

Lin Yi nodded. "Understood."

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The treasures at the mid-stage of the True Source Realm were directly provided to all the most ordinary soldiers at the initial stage of the True Source Realm. Although it was only the right to use them, it was still something that no single powerful family could compare to. The Imperial Army was indeed extravagant.

Seeing Lin Yi put away his equipment, Mantaji continued, "This is the Fifth Squad. Including myself, the squad originally had ten members. Two of them died in battle, and one broke through to the middle stage of the True Source Realm. Just then, the captain of the seventh squad died, so he was transferred to become the captain. Of the three vacancies, Zhaoyue and Frost Rainbow filled the positions with me. With you, we are now at full strength."

"Most of the other members are cultivating. As is customary, you will have one Epoch to familiarize yourself with the cultivation method and complete the initial training. After one Epoch, I will gather the team members, both to introduce them and... to conduct a small induction test."

Lin Yi had heard Zhaoyue mention these things before; it wasn't meant to make things difficult for him, so he simply nodded and said, "Understood, Captain."

Mantaji looked at Lin Yi, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke again, "Cultivate diligently. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

"Thank you, Captain."

Mantaji didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Lin Yi bowed again, turned and walked out of the room.

He stood in the corridor, hesitated for a moment, and then walked directly towards the warehouse area.

The news of the promotion should naturally be shared with everyone.

Warehouse area.

The place remained empty, with the metal walls and floor gleaming coldly.

However, it has changed somewhat compared to the beginning.

The group had been living here for some time, each having carved out a simple cultivation area in a corner and set up some basic isolation or auxiliary measures.

When Lin Yi walked in, he saw Zhaoyue and Frost Rainbow standing in an open space in the center of the warehouse.

Zhaoyue, dressed in blood-red armor with her helmet tucked under her arm, was speaking to the group of rulers sitting cross-legged in front of her.

As she spoke, she would occasionally raise her hand to draw simple lines in the air, demonstrating certain techniques.

Frost Rainbow stood beside her, listening quietly, occasionally nodding slightly.

Lin Yi knew that he had encountered Zhaoyue and Frost Rainbow giving their routine guidance to the Sovereigns during their cultivation, so he did not immediately make a sound to disturb them, but simply stood at the entrance and waited quietly.

But Zhaoyue noticed his arrival immediately.

She paused in her narration, her gaze shifting to the doorway.

Following closely behind, Frost Rainbow also turned her head to look over.

The other people immediately noticed their reaction.

Everyone turned to look at the doorway.

Lin Yi stepped in.

His steps were neither hurried nor slow, yet the aura belonging to the True Source Realm silently spread out.

There was a moment of silence in the warehouse.

"Congratulations," Zhaoyue said first, her voice carrying a hint of a smile.

"Congratulations," Frost Rainbow said, her tone still concise, but her sincerity was evident.

The Eternal Beginning Dominator looked at Lin Yi. He didn't offer his congratulations, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Other supreme beings and rulers also offered their congratulations.

The crowd wasn't too surprised by Lin Yi's breakthrough. In their minds, as a two-star seal reporter, it was only a matter of time before Lin Yi broke through to the True Source Realm.

After exchanging ideas with everyone for a while and sharing his insights on breaking through to the True Source Realm, Lin Yi turned to Zhaoyue and Frost Rainbow: "I have some questions I'd like to ask you both."

Zhaoyue placed the helmet on the ground beside her. "You speak."

Frost Rainbow also looked over.

Lin Yi briefly explained the situation, "Lord Li has given some insights into the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art>, <Analysis of Chaos Rules - Volume 1>, <Chaos Rules Application - Volume 1>, and <Military Drill Manual - Sergeant>, but I would still like to hear your suggestions."

Zhaoyue and Frost Rainbow exchanged a glance.

"<Analysis of Chaos Rules> and <Chaos Rules Application> are basic textbooks," Zhaoyue said first. "We've all exchanged for them. The first three chapters are relatively simple, mainly introducing the basic properties and basic applications of Chaos Rules. I suggest you read them through first to establish an overall understanding, and then study the difficult parts in detail."

She paused, then added, "As for the insights Lord Li provided, those are naturally invaluable; we didn't receive such treatment back then."

Frost Rainbow nodded and continued, "You must memorize the <Military Drill Manual>. Besides basic duties and discipline, it also includes emergency response procedures, squad coordination guidelines, and so on. It will be checked during the assessment."

Lin Yi kept their words in mind.

"As for the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art>..." Zhaoyue lowered her voice, "We've exchanged for them all."

She looked at Lin Yi, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "This cultivation technique... is indeed very difficult."

Frost Rainbow remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "I have yet to condense my first seal."

Zhaoyue gave a wry smile, "I'm about the same. Condensing the Cosmic Universe Seal requires a very deep understanding of one's own Origin Law, and then strengthening it in reverse with the Chaos Rules... That process demands too much comprehension."

She looked at Lin Yi: "Lord Li must have given you a time limit, right?"

"One Universal Epoch," Lin Yi replied. "If the first seal cannot be condensed within one Universal Epoch, one must switch to another cultivation method."

Zhaoyue nodded. "This is standard procedure. Captain Mantaji gave us the same requirements back then."

She paused, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately just shook her head. "Try it yourself. If you succeed, that's best. If not, it's not too late to switch to cultivating the <True Source Nether-Sundering Battle Canon>."

Frost Rainbow added, "The <True Source Nether-Sundering Battle Canon> contains a lot of cultivation insights and auxiliary resources. Captain Mantaji cultivates this technique; you can ask him for advice."

Lin Yi wrote down both of their suggestions.

He then asked a few more detailed questions about his basic understanding of the Chaos Rules, which Zhaoyue and Frost Rainbow answered patiently.

They achieved their breakthroughs earlier than Lin Yi and had already accumulated some experience in these fundamental areas.

The Q&A session lasted for about half a standard day.

Finally, Lin Yi put away the information crystal and thanked the two of them again.

"No need to be so polite," Zhaoyue waved her hand. "Helping each other is only right."

Frost Rainbow nodded slightly, which was considered as agreement.

Lin Yi chatted with the others for a few more minutes before taking his leave.

He didn't linger in the warehouse area; he still had a lot to do.

Back in the training room.

The hatch closed behind them, isolating them from the outside world.

Lin Yi walked to the central alloy platform and sat down cross-legged.

He first took out the two blood-red metal spheres.

According to Mantaji, one of them can transform into the Fierce Blood Battle Armor.

Lin Yi held one of the coins in his palm, a thought flickering in his mind.

A layer of crimson light shone on the surface of the metal sphere, which then transformed into countless fine streams of liquid metal that spread upwards along his arm.

Wherever the water flows, a thin but tough layer of armor quickly takes shape.

Lin Yi looked down to examine it.

The armor is dark red throughout, with extremely fine scale-like patterns on its surface. The joints are ingeniously and flexibly connected, without hindering movement at all.

Warm energy flowed within the armor, subtly resonating with his body and the Chaos Power.

With another thought, his armor instantly contracted, transforming back into a blood-red metal sphere that fell back into his palm.

Then, he picked up another metal ball.

This can be transformed into a weapon.

Lin Yi thought about it and decided to stick to his usual style.

The metal sphere liquefied and rapidly stretched and shaped in his hands.

Soon, a dark red spear with a triangular Long Spear appeared in his hand.

Lin Yi casually twirled the spear, the tip slicing through the air and creating subtle disturbances in the chaotic airflow.

He infused it with a wisp of Chaos Power.

The gun trembled slightly, the blood-red patterns on its surface lit up, and a very faint gray glint flickered at the tip.

"This is great stuff! It's really great. I don't know how long it would have taken to buy it on my own."

Lin Yi also retracted his Long Spear into its metal sphere form.

Next are five information crystals.

He first took out the four crystals of cultivation manuals, and then crushed them one by one.

First up is <An Analysis of Chaos Rules - Book 1>.

As Zhaoyue said, the content of this volume is indeed relatively basic.

It mainly introduces the essence of Chaos Rules, which are the underlying logic of the Chaos Cosmic Sea and the fundamental framework for the operation of all things.

Unlike the Origin Law, the Chaos Rules does not directly control any specific element or phenomenon, but it determines "how these elements and phenomena can exist" and "how they interact".

Next is <Chaos Rules Application - Volume 1>.

This volume begins to cover practical operations.

How to invoke the power of Chaos Rules, how to transform the Chaos Power into specific attack, defense, and support methods, and the most basic ways to use it.

The content of the Military Drill Manual - Sergeant Level is varied, but all of it is very important.

Standardized procedures for handling various situations, including the basic duties of sergeants, battlefield discipline, and emergency response procedures.

These details may seem tedious, but on the battlefield, a single mistake can lead to the failure of the entire mission.

Finally, there is the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art>.

According to the manual, the cultivation of the Nine Seal Cosmos Art is divided into three steps.

Step 1: Imprinting.

Based on the nine Origin Law that one has fully mastered, one condenses Origin Law imprints for each. This step requires a profound understanding of the essence of the Origin Law, extracting their core meaning and forming a seed.

Step Two: Refining the Seal.

Using the power of Chaos Rules as fuel, the Origin Law Void Seal is "forged" to allow the Chaos Rules to permeate and merge, ultimately transforming it into the true Cosmic Universe Seal. This step requires simultaneous mastery of the Origin Law and the Chaos Rules, demanding extremely high levels of soul strength and control.

Only when you reach this stage can you be considered to have mastered the Cosmic Universe Seal.

However, if all nine seals can be completed, there is one last step: combining the seals.

Although the nine seals can be used individually, each possessing unique power, their combined power surges dramatically, even reaching a point where they can touch upon the Chaos Law.

Disaster.

It's really difficult.

It's not that he has difficulty understanding; he can comprehend the theoretical parts.

The difficulty lies in practice.

The first step in imprinting requires a profound understanding of the essence of each Origin Law. This is not just about simple mastery, but also about delving into the core meaning of the Origin Law, extracting it, and forming an independent imprint.

This requires an absurdly high level of comprehension.

"No wonder so many people can't master it..." Lin Yi thought to himself.

But he did not back down.

He sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and calmed his mind completely before assigning tasks to his clones.

One person was responsible for studying "Analysis of Chaos Rules - Book 1" in detail, another was responsible for "Chaos Rules Application - Book 1" and the last one was responsible for memorizing "Military Drill Manual - Sergeant".

His Main Body picked up the small silver crystal and crushed it.

In addition to detailed analyses of "Analysis of Chaos Rules" and "Chaos Rules Application," there is also a discussion of "Nine Seal Cosmos Art."

Some of those thoughts also surfaced in my consciousness.

Lord Li's notes are very detailed, from the initial confusion when he first came into contact with the cultivation method, to the setbacks when he tried to condense the seal, and finally to the complete understanding process of successfully condensing the first seal.

Lin Yi noticed that at the end of the record, Lord Li calmly wrote, "The first seal of the <Nine Seal Cosmos Art> was the fastest to condense the first Fire Cosmic Universe Seal in the historical cultivation records of the Jizuo Cosmic Region Imperial Army, taking less than half Epoch, setting a record that remains unbroken to this day."

A faint sigh permeates the words.

Lin Yi kept this information in mind.

Half Epoch.

Because he had never truly cultivated before, he didn't know whether this half- Epoch was long or short for him.

"I don't need half an Epoch. It's enough to condense the first seal within one Epoch. Anyway, the order doesn't matter. Don't cultivate the most difficult one first. Let's test the waters with a basic gold seal. If we can complete it within half Epoch, then we'll count it as a performance that takes slightly more than half Epoch. After all, we've just joined the Imperial Army, so it's best not to attract too much attention or do anything that breaks records."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yi made up his mind.

Gold was the first rule he mastered, accompanying him from his previous life. It had the most solid foundation and the purest characteristics. Compared to higher-level Origin Law such as time and space, the true meaning of the Origin Law of gold was relatively easier to extract.

He took a deep breath and composed himself.

Consciousness sinks into the depths of the soul.

A purple flame of enlightenment silently ignited within his soul.

Next, he began to sense the omnipresent metal Origin Law meridians within his body's source universe.

Those veins, like metal veins, run through the entire universe, supporting the skeleton of stars and giving matter its solid properties.

After the transformation of the Chaos Origin Universe was completed, these Origin Law intertwined with the Chaos Rules, becoming even more profound and obscure.

Lin Yi needs to do is observe their essence.

What is gold?

Shi Feng, it's not just sturdy.

At the moment when the Golden Origin Law was perfected, he felt a sense of immortality.

But that's not enough.

We need to go deeper.

We need to strip away the surface and get to the core.

The burning of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi makes one's senses extremely sharp.

Those profound meanings that could only be understood intuitively in ordinary times are now becoming clearer, like textures observed under a magnifying glass.

Gold represents the ultimate in "condensation".

It is the process of forcibly constraining, compressing, and solidifying scattered energy, matter, and rules to form a stable structure.

Gold is the embodiment of "order".

It is the process of establishing a framework in chaos, defining boundaries in disorder, and bringing order back from chaos.

Gold represents the will to "sever".

It means eliminating all interference, cutting away all redundancy, and retaining only the purest and most essential existence.

A sudden realization dawned on me.

With a slight thought, Lin Yi's Chaos Power began to circulate within his body, outlining an extremely complex three-dimensional pattern deep within his soul.

These patterns are a tangible expression of the "true meaning" of the Golden Origin Law.

Every stroke requires precise control, and every connection requires perfect balance. The slightest mistake will cause the pattern to collapse and all previous efforts to be wasted.

The process is extremely slow.

In the first millennium, one percent of the pattern was completed.

In the fifth millennium, ten percent was completed.

In the ten thousandth year, fifty percent was completed.

When the 15,000th standard year arrived, a phantom mark emitting a pale golden metallic luster finally took shape deep within Lin Yi's soul.

It floats in the sea of consciousness, like a three-dimensional structure made up of countless precise gears and edges, with subtle echoes of metal clashing inside, and a heavy texture with restrained sharpness.

The first Origin Law Virtual Seal is complete.

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

It took him 15,000 standard years to condense the illusory seal, and that was only with the Spiritual Enlightenment Qi.

"No wonder so many people can't even form a nascent seal..." he muttered to himself.

Condensing the seal is only the first step; the next step is the more difficult refining of the seal.

It requires the power of Chaos Rules as fuel to burn this illusory seal of the Origin Law, ultimately transforming it into the true Cosmic Universe Seal.

Lin Yi did not rest. He closed his eyes again, his consciousness sinking into the core of the Origin Universe within his body, and began to draw upon the power of the Chaos Rules.

A wisp of extremely faint gray energy separated from the core of the Origin Universe and slowly flowed towards the pale golden illusory seal deep within the soul.

The instant the power of Chaos Rules came into contact with the illusory seal...

Boom!

Lin Yi felt as if his soul had been thrown into a furnace.

Fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the imprint, and the metallic luster quickly dimmed, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and persevered, carefully manipulating the wisp of Chaos Rules to penetrate it.

Let the disorder of the Chaos Rules soften the overly rigid order of the Metal Origin Law, and let the condensation of the Metal Origin Law restrain the overly loose inclusiveness of the Chaos Rules.

It's a delicate balance.

It's like dancing on a knife's edge; the slightest misstep will shatter the illusion and wound the soul.

His Spiritual Enlightenment Qi continued to burn, pushing his control to its limit.

Time slipped away in silent agony.

In the 20,000th year, the cracks on the surface of the virtual seal began to heal.

In the 30,000th year, the pale golden luster returned, but the color became deeper, and gray chaotic patterns began to appear faintly within.

In the fifty thousandth year, the structure of the Void Seal underwent a fundamental change. Its original pure metallic texture now possessed a chaotic heaviness, as if stardust had been incorporated into the metal.

Until the 90,000th year.

Buzz!

A deep, resonant sound echoed from the depths of Lin Yi's soul.

The pale gold imprint completely transformed into dark gold.

Its surface has countless fine, chaotic patterns flowing around it, emitting waves of strange fluctuations.

The Gold Chaos Universe Seal is complete!
