"With this Blade Technique, Yang Yu, you're confident you can even pass the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge," Babata's voice echoed in Yang Yu's Consciousness Sea. "When will you try to cross the Heavenly Bridge again?"

"No rush. The next thirty years in Chaos City are the most crucial. I must seize every opportunity to lay a solid foundation. I'll just go on a raid before leaving and collect all the reward Points."

Yang Yu said calmly.

"Alright, we can't waste this great opportunity for ten times the Points reward anyway." After saying that, Babata disappeared again.

As more and more geniuses emerge on Earth, Babata gradually shifted his focus to discovering these talents, hoping to find a truly suitable Successor.

During his time with Yang Yu, Babata witnessed the power and extravagance of Virtual Universe Company.

Hu Yanbo's original plan before his death was for Babata to use the wealth and legacy he left behind to teach the Successor in his place.

However, after witnessing the talent cultivation system of the Virtual Universe Company, Babata silently crossed out this option and replaced it with finding a suitable Successor, having him transform his Mental Force into the unique Mental Force of the Yunmo Planet Lineage, and after mastering the core Secret Technique of the Yunmo Planet, he would have the Successor also find a way to join the Virtual Universe Company.

Only here can a true strongman capable of avenging Hu Yanbo be cultivated!

Only then can the Yunmo Planet Lineage be truly carried forward and developed!

This is also why Babata became increasingly silent afterward.

During the time he followed Hu Yanbo, the strongest opponent he had ever faced was barely at the King-level.

But what about Yang Yu?

Even at the Universe Level, there are immortals with the strength of Marquis serving as guards, and teachers with the strength of King-level stationed there to teach.

His teacher was none other than the Chaos City Lord!

Universe Venerable often comes to provide meticulous guidance!

This treatment made Babata realize that their once-prosperous Yunmo Planet power was really nothing.

After witnessing Yang Yu's astonishing progress, Babata remained silent, hoping that Yang Yu could grow into a true powerhouse as soon as possible.

Looking at the dazzling scene of blades exploding in the distance.

Yang Yu put away the Heavenly Thunder Blade with satisfaction.

He then continued to sit cross-legged and comprehend the Lightning Law. Now that he had grasped the Law Essence of Leidian, the remaining task was to continue to comprehend the vast Lightning Law based on this foundation, and guided by the Thunder Chaos Monument, the <Lightning Canon>, and the <Time True Explanation>.

The same applies to the Zhuliuyin Clone within the body.

The Second Diagram and third images of the Thunder Chaos Monument both depict the essence of the Time Law.

Fortunately, after devouring and refining a massive amount of Chaos True Spirit, the Zhuliuyin Clone's cultivation speed has increased once again, and its speed and efficiency in analyzing and comprehending the Time Law Essence have also improved significantly.

"I still have many chances to comprehend the Chaos Monument; now is the perfect time to use it!"

Yang Yu got up and jumped off the rooftop, then flew towards the outer perimeter of the City Lord Mansion.

Along the way, Yang Yu also encountered many geniuses from other forces, such as the Great Axe Coliseum, the Galaxy Bank, and the Universe First Bank.

The strongest among them is only at the Universe Level; it seems they also came here to comprehend the mysteries.

As a sacred cultivation Sacred Land shared by Human Race, the Initial Universe is certainly not the exclusive property of the Virtual Universe Company.

After glancing at the newcomers, who had varied appearances and obvious curiosity, Yang Yu did not approach them for conversation. Instead, he quickly headed towards the room where the Thunder Chaos Monument was located.

"Your Highness, there's no one inside right now, you can go in and meditate," Kandri said with a smile.

"Kandri, Mr. Candri."

After thanking him, Yang Yu rushed into the room, sat cross-legged in front of the Second Diagram, and began to concentrate on studying it.

Meanwhile, the Zhuliuyin Clone within the special space of the body also began to comprehend the truth through the help of the Original Body.

As Chaos Monument combining Leidian and time, the Second Diagram and third images, while mostly analyzing the Time Law Essence, still contain a portion that interprets the Lightning Law.

Therefore, Yang Yu's Human Original Body was also frantically analyzing the Lightning Law part of the Second Diagram.

However, this part becomes less and less frequent as you go further in the story.

After all, the Time Law are far more vast than the Lightning Law.

Look at the second Thunder Net Diagram, composed of 12 lightning bolts.

Yang Yu's Human Original Body comprehended 12 of the 6 essential aspects of the Lightning Law from it.

These twelve mysteries transformed into these twelve bolts of lightning, forming this picture.

However, the Zhuliuyin Clone within the body saw more than 40 kinds of the Time Law Essence!

It was created using these 12 lightning bolts.

Now.

Both of Yang Yu's souls were in a state of high-speed comprehension.

The previous understanding of the laws is now being transformed into personal insights at an extremely rapid pace through the Chaos Monument.

"Come out~"

"Come out~"

A dreamy voice gently entered Yang Yu's Consciousness Sea.

"Time flies so fast." Yang Yu sighed and got up to leave the room.

"Your Highness, you are welcome to Your Highness again next time," Kandri said with a smile.

For the other seekers of enlightenment, Kandri would directly bombard them with "demonic sounds," and if they were delayed for even a second, they would be tormented by the sounds.

However, Kandri Registered Disciple Yang Yu, the Chaos City Lord's Registered Disciple, with exceptionally rapid progress, quite well.

After all, he himself is Virtual Universe Company Faction.

Back on the rooftop.

Yang Yu sat down cross-legged.

Continue to digest what you've learned over the past seven days.

Three days later.

Having fully digested his insights, Yang Yu opened his eyes. "It's really different after comprehending the essence of all the Leidian Law Essence. Now, comprehending them feels quite easy and enjoyable, and the progress is much faster!"

The results of these seven days of comprehension were, without exaggeration, completely comparable to Yang Yu's progress in the seven months before he fully grasped all the essence!

Of course, this exaggerated speed is only possible with the assistance of the Chaos Monument. If the Chaos Monument were excluded, the speed would be several times faster.

It wasn't nearly as exaggerated as it is now.

But that wasn't the biggest surprise for Yang Yu.

What truly surprised him was that the Zhuliuyin Clone within his body, after seven days of comprehension, had actually grasped the Time Law Essence in one fell swoop!

The Time Law have now been fully understood in 23 aspects!

This speed is like riding a rocket!

This is also because the Zhuliuyin Clone had already gained a lot of insights recently, and the Original Body had also comprehended all the essence of the Lightning Law. With these successive impacts, the understanding of the Time Law has also become deeper.

Keep in mind that Yang Yu has only been in the Initial Universe for a little over a year.

Moreover, half of the first six months were spent hunting Chaos Beast.

The actual time spent in seclusion for meditation and contemplation was only about six months.

But in that short time, both Yang Yu's Human Original Body and Zhuliuyin Clone underwent significant transformations in their souls and comprehension.

His enlightenment in just six months was equivalent to that of the previous few years. Compared to ordinary geniuses in the Primal Secret Realm, it was comparable to their decades of arduous cultivation!

Moreover, this gap will only widen further as time goes on.

This is the powerful momentum that the Thunder Inheritance bestows upon Yang Yu!

Actually, this speed of comprehension is quite normal. If Yang Yu didn't obsess over analyzing the Law Essence, his cultivation speed could be even faster!

However, that kind of speed is not what Yang Yu is pursuing.

In the days that followed, Yang Yu continued his arduous cultivation on the rooftop of his residence.

Occasionally, he would enter the Virtual Universe to ask questions of Marquis Zhenlei and Venerable Gui Yi, and sometimes he would chat with Ai Chen and listen to her share interesting stories about her cultivation.

Then I video chatted with my grandfather, Wang Lin, and other relatives and friends on Earth.

It is worth mentioning that during the year or so that Yang Yu was meditating in Chaos City, nearly four years had passed in the Primal Universe.

Over such a long period of time, the most talented individuals, including Hong, Thor, and Jia Yi, had broken through to the Star Level, received the rewards and equipment left by Yang Yu in the Foundation, and then, led by Babata and Yan Hun, and protected by a small team of Star Level 9 slaves, they set off to the vast Starry Sky to begin their adventure.

Their first stop was also Qiu Long City.

Yang Yu planned to have Babata send them to Qiu Long City to register as Universe Citizen first, so they could familiarize themselves with the situation in the universe before venturing out.

Now, thanks to the Inheritance Guidance and the supply of sufficient resources, Hong has reached the Sixth Level Realm Light Domain Realm!

It far exceeded the cultivation speed described in the Original Work.

Their combat skills are also outstanding.

Following them, Thor, Dong Nanbiao, Jia Yi, and others also comprehended realms of varying degrees.

Thor is in the Fourfold Domain, while Jia Yi and Dong Nanbiao in the second realm. The four of them are teaming up to venture out together.

Instruct Babata and Yan Hun to protect them in the early stages. Once they are fully integrated into the universe, only that small team of Star Level 9 slaves should accompany them.

That's all Yang Yu can do.

If they can't sense any danger at all, then it's better for them not to venture out at all, but to stay on Earth and enjoy the massive resources Yang Yu provides for their cultivation.

But since they were willing to venture out into the world, they were naturally prepared to face danger.

After all, they were true geniuses who fought their way out Great Nirvana Period. They, too, had a heart that yearned for freedom and battle.

Yang Yu also approved of their choice.

Earthlings's rise cannot be achieved by relying solely on him.

However, when Hong and the others entered the universe, Yang Yu once again warned them not to reveal their special state of mind and will too early.

Otherwise, it might bring great disaster to the Earth.

A scourge that even Yang Yu is far from being able to resolve!

These were repeated warnings from Yang Yu, who had already joined a truly powerful organization like Virtual Universe Company.

Hong and his group solemnly agreed.

Over the years.

Everything Yang Yu has done for Earth and for them proves that Yang Yu would never harm them.

The only explanation is that Yang Yu discovered something, which is why he is being so cautious.

They naturally dared not be careless.

After explaining these things, Yang Yu continued to focus his mind on cultivation.

Two months later.

Yang Yu, who had been diligently cultivating, got up and went to the City Lord Mansion, using another opportunity to comprehend the Thunder Chaos Monument.

It's still that familiar courtyard.

Yang Yu blocked the virtual call request, then looked at the second Thunder Net Diagram and focused all his attention into a state of comprehension.

Within the Consciousness Sea.

Having already completely imprinted the Second Diagram in his mind, Yang Yu carefully savored the wonder of the Chaos Monument.

Sometimes he would open his eyes to look at the real Thunder Net Diagram, and sometimes he would close his eyes and enter his Consciousness Sea to simulate and comprehend it.

"Leidian, violent and swift, appears and disappears in an instant."

Time is eternal and mysterious, unpredictable yet forever moving forward.

At this moment, Yang Yu's Human Original Body and Zhuliuyin Clone's Consciousness Sea were filled with a massive amount of insights into the Lightning Law Comprehension and Time Law.

Guided by the Chaos Monument, these insights gradually moved from chaos to order.

Furthermore, it is constantly being incorporated into one's own cultivation system, enriching one's spiritual understanding.

Completely immersed in cultivation, Yang Yu's consciousness in both bodies was absorbed in the 'Thunder Net Diagram'. Each bolt of lightning began to evolve into numerous Artistic Conception in his mind. Among them, only the first bolt of lightning... held no mystery for Yang Yu. He had completely seen through the essence of the first bolt of lightning and glimpsed its true nature.

The Thunder Net Diagram contains 12 different Artistic Conception.

For most cultivators, comprehending the Thunder Net Diagram is considered 'qualified' as long as they understand its Artistic Conception and can execute it. But what Yang Yu needs to do is not that; he needs to truly grasp its essence!

Yang Yu had completely comprehended the essence of the Lightning Law.

These essential elements, however, only exist in the first lightning bolt in the Second Diagram!

The remaining 11 lightning bolts all embody the Time Law Essence.

After several attempts to comprehend it, Yang Yu has figured out that the Time Law Essence contained in this Second Diagram is 44!

Each lightning bolt contains four types.

The 23 Time Law Essence that Yang Yu has now comprehended are essentially the second to seventh lightning bolts. He only needs one more to fully comprehend the first seven lightning bolts. This level of Law Comprehension has already reached the average level of members of the current Universe Level Primal Secret Realm.

If we were to explain the difference between normal Comprehend Laws and analytical Law Comprehension in more detail...

For example, an exam paper might have regular questions and bonus questions.

The normal test questions are the path that most cultivators take to Comprehend Laws, which is quick and relatively easy in the early stages.

The bonus questions are meant to analyze the Law Essence, and incidentally, to help Comprehend Laws.

If you get all the normal test questions right, you get 100 points.

If you get all the regular and bonus questions right, you get 150 points!

For ordinary cultivators, their comprehension of the <Thunder Net Diagram> only needs to reach a level of 100%.

Yang Yu's understanding of the first six lightning bolts in the <Thunder Net Diagram> is now at a level of 150!

The 7th lightning bolt was close to 150 points!

The remaining lightning bolt only scored 90 points, just barely passing.

What Yang Yu needs to do now is to thoroughly understand the Time Law Essence contained in all the remaining lightning bolts.

Now that you have fully understood the Second Diagram, you can begin to study the third picture.

If we use the Heavenly Bridge to heaven to divide specific levels of understanding.

If you achieve a passing score of 90 points in understanding the six lightning bolts in the first Leidian diagram, you can generally pass the first three levels.

However, Yang Yu's previous insights had already far exceeded this level, so he easily passed through the first three levels. With his insights into the Time Law, he was able to reach the fifth level on his first attempt.

If you can comprehend all 12 lightning bolts in the second Thunder Net Diagram to a satisfactory degree, you should be able to pass the first six levels!

However, Yang Yu's situation is quite special. He analyzed the Law Essence from the very beginning. In addition, the first six lightning bolts scored 150 points, the seventh lightning bolt was close to 150 points, and the rest were all 90 points.

Therefore, theoretically, they should have been able to pass the sixth level long ago.

If you can comprehend all the lightning bolts in the third Thunder Prison Diagram to a satisfactory level, you can generally pass the ninth level!

Certainly.

If all aspects reach a perfect state of 150 points, and there are other special features, then the actual combat power exerted will be calculated separately.

Even with a minimum guarantee, you can get through level 10!

That is, they can possess the combat power of an immortal.

These thoughts flashed through Yang Yu's mind. He shook his head and then immersed his consciousness in the Thunder Chaos Monument. Guided by the Chaos Monument, Yang Yu's insights into the <Thunder Net Diagram> kept emerging. When he grasped its wonders, he couldn't help but smile.

"Come out!" a voice entered his mind.

"Come out!" "Come out!" "Come out!" "Come out!"

The sound started softly, but it kept echoing and amplifying in his mind, growing louder and louder until Yang Yu was jolted awake from that profound state. He could only grit his teeth and fly away regretfully. "Too bad, it's time again."

Two people were already waiting outside the Cultivation Chamber.

"Pity."

"If only I could stay a little longer." Yang Yu walked on the street outside the City Lord Mansion, still feeling somewhat unwilling. The feeling of comprehending the Thunder Chaos Monument was simply too wonderful. Unlike usual comprehending, where he would wake up due to mental fatigue, he felt no fatigue whatsoever in front of the Thunder Chaos Monument.

You don't even need to actively try to understand it; you can gain a lot of insights simply by being drawn into the Thunder Chaos Monument.
