A Brand New Path

Within the Will Space, Lin Qingyu placed several thousand materials before him and concentrated.

In an instant, the materials seemed to be magnified countless times, and vast amounts of informational structure appeared before Lin Qingyu.

Analyzing these hundreds of materials was even easier for Lin Qingyu than analyzing the process of his own breakthrough into the Domain.

My choice was correct. As Lin Qingyu continued his in-depth analysis, he still had the leisure to marvel.

As mentioned before, although Lin Qingyu's Will Space could observe recorded Information Models without limit, he still had to process the data within those Information Models himself.

For the same material, the information contained in one kilogram was naturally greater than that contained in one gram.

If the quantity of each material was small, Lin Qingyu could analyze the data of more types of materials in one go.

Just like now, he intended to analyze 9,478 different materials at once.

After his deliberate selection, most of these materials had the Wood attribute.

At the Star level, a pharmacist needed to use both their own Mental Force and Origin Force when formulating medicine. Therefore, Lin Qingyu prioritized materials with the same attributes as his Mental Force and Origin Force for analysis. This would make it easier for him to formulate potions.

"Sure enough, different types of Cosmic Origin Energy had been mixed into these materials during their formation."

Although he had not yet reached the microscopic level of molecules and atoms, Lin Qingyu had already discovered many traces of Cosmic Origin Energy within the macroscopic structures of these materials.

Or rather, it was precisely because Cosmic Origin Energy was so abundant that the variety of materials in the universe far surpassed that of Earth. Even the most basic molecular and atomic structures differed greatly.

"Cosmic Origin Energy probably did not merely participate in the formation of matter from fundamental particles. It also participated in the formation of the fundamental particles themselves. The number of atoms and other fundamental particles in the universe should be considerable—at the very least, far greater than on Earth in my previous life." Lin Qingyu marveled at the mysteries of the universe. Having examined the macroscopic structures of hundreds of substances, he had discovered many interesting configurations.

"Good, let's continue the deeper analysis!" Lin Qingyu's physical body outside poured all of his consciousness into the Information Models of these materials. His Immortal-grade will fully operated Void Conception, and with the Will Space's Void Conception ability, he gained several times the computing power of a peak World Lord out of thin air.

Then he began analyzing the microscopic structures of these substances!

Through his extreme observation, Lin Qingyu saw Cosmic Energy gathering and changing within the fundamental particles that made up these materials.

Some formed strands of energy like bonds, linking different atomic and molecular clusters. Some Cosmic Energy did not come into direct contact, yet could resonate despite being distributed in different places. Others simply formed different Secret Pattern Diagrams. Though incomplete, they emitted certain fluctuations!

However, no matter how the Cosmic Energy changed, the scenes that entered Lin Qingyu's eyes were incomparably harmonious and natural.

Immersed in his analysis of the materials and his comprehension of the flow of Cosmic Energy, Lin Qingyu even forgot the passage of time.

"Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyu! Wake up. Your evolution pod has arrived." Bata's voice sounded within his consciousness.

"So that's how it is! So Wood-attribute Cosmic Origin Energy could operate in this way as well. What an eye-opener."

After receiving Bata's message, Lin Qingyu withdrew from his comprehension, though he was still reluctant to stop.

This analysis had given him a deeper understanding of how Cosmic Energy operated.

An emerald-green Domain spread out, enveloping the space around Lin Qingyu. His control over the surrounding space had risen to another level.

He had now reached the Domain Seventh Level! Less than a month had passed since Lin Qingyu broke through to the Domain Sixth Level, yet the insights brought by analyzing these materials had allowed his Domain to break through another level in such a short time!

Lin Qingyu's perception of Origin Law fluctuations had become clearer. Before long, he would be able to step across the threshold of the Origin Law.

"Lin Qingyu, y-you've reached the Domain Seventh Level!" Bata's astonished voice entered Lin Qingyu's mind.

"Yes, the Domain Seventh Level." Lin Qingyu smiled. "But that isn't my greatest gain. After all, the path of the Domain is already clear to me. Sooner or later, I will reach the Domain 9th layer. My greatest gain this time was discovering a cultivation method especially suited to me."

"A cultivation method especially suited to you?" Bata was puzzled, but did not ask further.

Geniuses like Lin Qingyu always had their own ideas. Lin Qingyu's talent had already completely exceeded the limits of Hu Yanbo's training plan. If such a genius had any insights into cultivation, even if his old master were still alive, he would not dare claim he could dismiss them entirely, much less Bata.

All Bata could do now was make sure Lin Qingyu did not stray onto the wrong path.

It seems I still have to persuade Lin Qingyu to join the Virtual Universe Company, Bata thought. Only within the Virtual Universe Company can Lin Qingyu receive the best and most suitable training.

Lin Qingyu did not know what Bata was thinking, but even if he did, he would not have cared much.

He was refusing to join an organization because of the Golden Horn Beast. Once he obtained the Golden Horn Beast, he would naturally find a way to join the Virtual Universe Company. There was no need to explain that to Bata for now.

What truly delighted him, however, was that he had found a new method of cultivation!

Throughout the universe, the fluctuations of the Cosmic Origin Law enveloped everything. Under the influence of those fluctuations, the energy in the universe also possessed different attributes.

These wondrous materials in the universe could form precisely because they absorbed Cosmic Origin Energy of different attributes during their formation and solidified it within themselves.

In fact, whether it was Secret Methods that mobilized Origin Force and Mental Force or these materials themselves, their essence was the utilization of the Cosmic Origin Law. The difference was merely that one was created by people, while the other formed naturally.

By analyzing these materials, Lin Qingyu could understand the operating patterns of Cosmic Origin Energy from their microscopic structures, then reverse-engineer the Origin Law.

Ordinary powerhouses directly comprehended laws before creating Secret Methods, moving from cause to effect.

Lin Qingyu's method was the reverse: deducing the cause from the result.

Most importantly, Lin Qingyu's Will Space possessed the ability of Void Conception. Therefore, for Lin Qingyu, the two paths of analyzing different materials to reverse-engineer laws and actively comprehending laws to create Secret Methods did not conflict.

He could walk both paths at the same time, allowing them to complement and validate each other.

Directly comprehending laws could lead one astray, because the results of one's comprehension might not necessarily be correct. But if he also reverse-engineered laws from existing physical objects, combining theory with practice, the chances of straying onto the wrong path would be greatly reduced.

The formation and evolution of these strange materials in the universe were themselves descriptions and manifestations of certain aspects of the Cosmic Origin Law.
