During this time, Ai Chen woke up once and saw that Yang Yu was protecting her. She shyly said that she seemed to have discovered the secret of the Law Fountain and asked Yang Yu to wait a little longer.

Yang Yu was naturally happy to agree when he saw that Ai Chen had actually made a discovery.

Yang Yu's Human Original Body then stayed here to protect Ai Chen.

The Demon Dragon Clone ascended to the top, spending several days recording the Law Secret Pattern of the Tenth Floor and Eleventh Floor levels, and casually slaying the World Lord Level Fierce Beast on these two levels.

Yang Yu then sent the Demon Dragon Clone back to the first floor, where it accelerated its comprehension of the Gold Law, quietly waiting for Ai Chen to finish his secluded cultivation.

Yang Yu was already used to this kind of quiet cultivation.

After all, even if one doesn't cultivate here, one still needs to stay for three years after leaving to be considered to have fully completed the 'Cloud Palace Mission'.

So it doesn't matter where you stay.

Not to mention, one can also enjoy accelerated cultivation effects within this temple.

In the past six months.

The Zhuliuyin Clone also reaped enormous rewards, thoroughly exploring the Northwest Region of the Cloud Palace World and harvesting tens of thousands of the True Spirit of World Lord Level Fierce Beast.

Moreover, they were quite lucky; they didn't encounter any native immortals, nor were they discovered by the patrolling immortals of the Great Axe Coliseum.

However, to Yang Yu's slight disappointment, despite killing so many World Lord Level Fierce Beasts and exploring the area, he did not find any rare treasures that caught his eye.

However, quite a few hidden surveillance cameras were discovered.

This led Yang Yu to speculate that the Cloud Palace World wasn't incapable of giving birth to wondrous treasures; it was just that they were most likely discovered and harvested by the Great Axe Coliseum as soon as they were born.

Or perhaps they were eaten by Fierce Beast guarding the vicinity.

This is why Yang Yu has been working for nothing for half a year.

However, Yang Yu did not come away empty-handed. At least in all these battles, he had reached a level of consummate skill in various Combat Secret Technique and the control of the Thunder God Weapon.

Even the three most suitable Combat Secret Technique for the Demon Dragon Clone were perfectly integrated with Leidian and time perception, making them even more powerful in the hands of the Zhuliuyin Clone!

After all, the framework of the Secret Technique was there, and with the Zhuliuyin Clone's incredibly profound Law Comprehension, it could perfectly unleash the power of the Secret Technique with just a few modifications.

This shows that combat is indeed very important for the refinement and innovation of Secret Technique.

After clearing out the Northwest Region the Cloud Palace World, Zhuliuyin Clone was not idle either. It continued to kill and absorb the unfortunate World Lord Level Fierce Beast along the way.

The Cloud Palace World is vast, and although Zhuliuyin Clone killed quite a few, it didn't attract much attention.

The Great Axe Coliseum is currently busy investigating Alien Race spies from top to bottom, and can't attend to this place for the time being.

After all, killing among Fierce Beast is frequent, and after killing in one place Zhuliuyin Clone will take a spaceship to the next place, not just kill them all before moving on to another place.

Time passed.

Another six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the eighth level of the temple.

Ai Chen remained fully immersed in studying the Light Law Secret Pattern, even occasionally getting up to sketch a few lines to verify his ideas.

Seeing that Ai Chen seemed to have made some progress, Yang Yu didn't disturb him. Instead, he quietly guarded him from the side, while also studying the Beast God Statue and constantly deducing the Fusion Fit Point between Leidian and time.

Yang Yu has never given up on the fusion of different laws, but so far the progress has been minimal. He has only gained a deeper understanding of the laws he has already comprehended through repeated deductions.

This was also a good opportunity to re-examine his Law Comprehension. In the process of this re-examination, Yang Yu was pleasantly surprised to find that he had gained a deeper understanding of the Lightning Law.

Although they did not grasp any new substantive content, they became more adept at using various Secret Technique.

Yang Yu was delighted with this unexpected gain and then continued to immerse himself in the mental deduction.

The Demon Dragon Clone was quite busy, either regularly harvesting the World Lord Level Fierce Beast that flooded into the entire temple, or quietly analyzing the Law Essence.

Time flies when you're immersed in cultivation.

Another year has passed.

This year.

Ai Chen's research into the Law Secret Pattern became increasingly in-depth. In the past year, he would occasionally chat with Yang Yu and share his research insights.

By this year, Ai Chen had only woken up a handful of times, and each time he did, he was studying the secret runes around the Law Fountain.

This scene secretly delighted Yang Yu. To him, these extremely complex secret patterns were like a bunch of obscure and incomprehensible 'gibberish'. Apart from studying them for a period of time at the beginning, he had basically not spent any more time on them afterward.

However, judging from the current situation, Ai Chen seems to have a great talent for runes.

Based on Ai Chen's previous research insights, Yang Yu was quite certain of this.

Moreover, judging from the Secret Pattern Diagram School that appears in the Original Work, this school is also one of the directions leading to the supreme path.

It's just that it's even more difficult and more unorthodox than the Fusion Law.

It is a very niche cultivation path in the universe. Perhaps in this Reincarnation Era, there has not yet appeared a strong person who can rival the Universe Master solely through secret runes.

However, although it is a niche field, once someone achieves success, their abilities can be exceptionally strong.

In the Reincarnation Era, there was a clear direction for cultivating the Secret Pattern Diagram, and many powerful individuals achieved success in it.

Just as Yang Yu was pondering...

Ai Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened her eyes, her bright and beautiful eyes reflecting rapidly flashing secret pattern light spots.

The next moment.

Suddenly, the Law Fountain ahead erupted with blinding Light Law of light!

"@&&#..."

A sound that was indescribable and incomprehensible suddenly appeared, resounding throughout the entire eighth floor of the temple.

Immediately.

A Force Field appeared at the core of the Law Fountain, drawing Ai Chen into it.

Just as Ai Chen was about to fully enter the core of the fountain, Yang Yu received a telepathic message from Ai Chen, telling Yang Yu not to worry, as this was a good thing.

Seeing this, Yang Yu summoned his Demon Dragon Clone and once again used the Yan Shen Armament to set up Sword World, focusing on protecting Ai Chen, who seemed to have obtained an unknown opportunity.

"I had suspected before that the Cloud Palace World must hold secrets, and now it seems that the Law Fountain within the Cloud Temple may very well conceal an unknown inheritance!"

Yang Yu's eyes flashed with dazzling light, "Xiao Chen may have passed the test and is qualified to activate the inheritance. Choosing this Cloud Palace Mission was really the right decision!"

Knowing there was no danger, Yang Yu sat down by the fountain and waited with peace of mind.

There's still a year left in the three-year period, and even if Ai Chen doesn't appear by then, it won't hurt to stay a little longer.

After all, three years is just the minimum timeframe; if you have the ability, you can stay for decades or even centuries.

Inside the core of the Law Fountain.

An unknown, mysterious palace.

Ai Chen was currently inside. "Is this the Light Secret Pattern Palace?"

Looking at the majestic palace, thousands of meters high and hundreds of meters long and wide, bathed in a faint halo of light, Ai Chen walked slowly inside.

At this moment, Ai Chen remained completely calm. After studying the light-based runes inscribed on the rock wall at the edge of the Law Fountain for two years and grasping a trace of their essence, she had just finished studying them.

A mysterious voice echoed in Ai Chen's mind, "Congratulations to the 862,402nd examinee for successfully activating the Secret Pattern Diagram Trial. Please proceed to the 'Light Secret Pattern Palace' to continue the trial!"

As the sound dissipated, the Law Fountain underwent a strange change, and Ai Chen arrived there shortly afterward.

"The assessment now begins!"

"Please decipher all the Light Secret Pattern Symbols within one year. Success will grant you the <Light Pattern Inheritance>, while failure will permanently disqualify you from the assessment."

Ai Chen didn't have time to think much about it.

A Light Law beam of light appeared in the center of the palace.

Then the Light Law shifted, and streaks of light appeared in the sky above the palace.

Ai Chen stared intently and saw that these bands of light were covered with countless special light spots. Upon careful counting, he found that there were a staggering 10,081 of them!

Each point of light is also a unique symbol.

I carefully examined all 10,081 beams of light ahead.

Ai Chen discovered the pattern.

Especially since many of these appearing points of light were familiar to Ai Chen!

It was a special symbol that was deciphered from the endless and complex runes after two years of studying the Law Fountain!

At this time.

These symbols all appeared on the band of light, constantly flashing and undulating.

This is in conjunction with the anomaly of the Law Fountain earlier.

The naturally intelligent Ai Chen immediately understood.

The 108 special symbols she had previously deciphered were the key to unlocking this assessment.

"The 10081 symbols of the Light Pattern?"

Ai Chen looked at the undulating band of light in the sky, his eyes filled with joy.

"Although I don't know the true value of this so-called <Light Pattern Inheritance>, I must seize the opportunity when it arises, and we only have one year, so we can't waste it!"

Ai Chen immediately focused all his attention on analyzing the special symbols on the light band.

With dedicated research.

Ai Chen also discovered the pattern in these symbols.

The 108 symbols she previously deciphered can be considered basic units!

By continuously combining these 108 most basic unit symbols, other symbols can be formed.

After realizing this...

Ai Chen's eyes lit up. Only ten days had passed, and Ai Chen still had nearly a year left to deduce the remaining symbols.

Ai Chen was very confident that he would pass the assessment!

With the methods and techniques in hand, the deduction process becomes exceptionally easy.

A month later, Ai Chen deduced 1081 symbols.

Two months later, 3333 symbols were deduced.

Three months have passed, and 9999 symbols have been deduced!

As the simulation progressed, Ai Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that the simulation speed was getting faster and faster!

Three more days passed.

The 10081st symbol leaped from Ai Chen's fingertips.

The instant this symbol appeared.

A blinding light shone once again in the center of the enormous palace.

Congratulations to the examinee for successfully passing the assessment!

The words had barely left his mouth.

A phantom book appeared from the center of the light.

The cover prominently displays the words "The Light Pattern Inheritance"!

The virtual book started out small, but as it got closer to Ai Chen, it grew bigger and bigger!

Until it completely fills the entire field of vision.

Then the illusory book completely disappeared into Ai Chen's brow.

The palace then vanished.

Outside world.

Yang Yu, who had been waiting for more than three months, suddenly discovered that the Law Fountain had become abnormal again.

The familiar, blinding light appeared, and the gravitational fluctuations reappeared.

Really.

A moment later.

Ai Chen's figure appeared from the center of the fountain, and in a flash, he was next to Ai Chen Yang Yu, blinking his bright eyes at Yang Yu, "Brother Yu, we've got a big haul this time!"

After simply flipping through the illusory books imprinted in his Consciousness Sea, Ai Chen knew that he had encountered a great opportunity!

At the same time, I realized what I was truly good at.

"Haha, tell me what you've gained," Yang Yu asked with a smile.

"I received a Light Law Pattern, which I feel will greatly assist my understanding of the Light Law and even the Time Law, and may even open up entirely new paths for the future!"

Ai Chen was very excited, her bright and beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

"I see, that's really good news, Xiao Chen is amazing!"

Yang Yu was also very happy that Ai Chen was able to trigger such an opportunity and pass the test.

"Hehe, thanks to Brother Yu for bringing me here, otherwise I wouldn't even have the right to set foot here."

Ai Chen was well aware of her own strength. Although she was very talented in the field of secret runes, if she couldn't even see the Law Fountain, then such an opportunity was even less likely to fall into her lap.

"Well, there are still more than half a year left in the three-year period. Should we continue to cultivate here in seclusion, or go out and explore the Cloud Palace World?" Yang Yu asked.

"There's no point in staying here anymore. Let's go out. I can study the inheritance while verifying the secret rune manipulation techniques," Ai Chen said after thinking for a moment.

The two were about to leave when Yang Yu suddenly remembered something. "Xiao Chen, have you forgotten? There's Time Law Fountain in the ninth-level temple. You have a good talent for the Time Law, so let's go to the ninth level and take a look. Maybe we can find something there."

"Oh, right!"

Ai Chen exclaimed, "This is such a wonderful surprise, I completely forgot about it!"

"Haha, it's okay, we still have time to think about it now, let's go!"

After saying that, Yang Yu took Ai Chen's hand, and the two flew towards the ninth floor.

A moment later.

The two arrived at the Law Fountain on the ninth floor.

Upon seeing the fountain engraved with the Time Law Secret Pattern, Ai Chen once again immersed himself in his research.

Based on previous experience...

This time, Ai Chen only used five days.

This revealed the 108 most basic unit symbols related to the Time Law.

The succession assessment was then restarted.

Because of his previous foundation, Ai Chen took very little time this time, only three months, to pass the <Time Pattern Inheritance> test.

After receiving this This Inheritance, Ai Chen compared it with the <Light Pattern Inheritance> in his mind.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that these two traditions have many similarities and can learn from and promote each other.

Outside the Cloud Temple.

Inside the Machine Race Spaceship.

Yang Yu and Ai Chen sat facing each other.

"Brother Yu, this drink is for you!"

Ai Chen raised his glass, his expression filled with joy and excitement. "If it weren't for Brother Yu bringing me to the Cloud Palace Mission, I might never have discovered my talent in the Secret Pattern Diagram, let alone obtained these two extremely precious inheritances."

"Xiao Chen, you're too kind. I was originally going to do Cloud Palace Mission anyway, and given our relationship, saying thank you would be too formal. Don't say that again, okay?" Yang Yu raised his glass and clinked it with Ai Chen's.

Hehe~

Upon hearing Yang Yu's words, Ai Chen could no longer conceal the joy in his eyes.

"Brother Yu is so good to me, I'll toast you again."

"Hmm~"

Amidst the clinking of glasses, Yang Yu and Ai Chen sat closer and closer together.
