The Heavenly Bridge

Virtual Universe, Estate No. 114, Yuxiang Mountain Primal Region.

Yang Wu appeared directly in the manor.

"Your Highness!"

Those around Yang Wu who saw him quickly bowed in greeting.

"Hmm." Yang Wu nodded slightly, and at the same time commanded in his mind, "Chi Yan, request entry into the Heavenly Bridge!"

"Yes, Master!" The Auxiliary AI 'Chi Yan' on Yang Wu's shoulder immediately sent a request to the Virtual Universe System.

Soon, a deep, resonant voice echoed in Yang Wu's mind.

"Identity confirmed, Yang Wu. You have permanently gained access to the Heavenly Bridge."

"I hope you can work hard and one day reach the end of the Heavenly Bridge. Teleport now!"

Brush!

Yang Wu's figure disappeared directly from the manor.

Virtual Universe, a special dimensional space.

This dimensional space is entirely a boundless ocean, with endless, surging waters.

In the middle of this ocean lies an extremely beautiful island.

The island's edge has 52 ports, each from which an endless bridge extends, stretching to the Tiandi, shrouded in mist that blankets the entire ocean.

After disappearing from his own manor, Yang Wu appeared directly in the central square of this beautiful island.

"Look, it's Yang Wu!"

"Yang Wu is here!"

"In this year's Genius Battle, only Bolan passed the second level, while Rong Jun and Luo Feng passed the first level. Although some others didn't participate, of the geniuses initially identified as the top twenty by the Virtual Universe System, only Yang Wu remains!"

"Yeah, I wonder how many floors he can get to?"

"I think it's at least the second level, after all, Bolan has already passed the second level, and Yang Wu defeated Bolan!"

The group of geniuses who were still in the square started discussing among themselves when they saw Yang Wu appear.

Yang Wu looked around and found that most of the remaining geniuses were ranked below 100th, with only a few ranked within the top 100, and none of the top 20 geniuses.

The only one who had just come out of the Heavenly Bridge, Jiang Mo, merely nodded slightly to Yang Wu before disappearing.

"They're really working hard!" Yang Wu couldn't help but admire.

What makes geniuses geniuses, besides their innate talent, is that they work harder than others!

The higher a genius ranks, the less likely they are to waste their time watching others conquer the Heavenly Bridge. For them, knowing the final result is enough; they can then use that difference as motivation for their own cultivation.

After Yang Wu appeared, a man wearing a black Star Robe walked over from a distance. This man had four ears but no nose, and his face was full of smiles.

"Hello, Yang Wu, I am Guardian Bafen of this Heavenly Bridge Plane. You can call me the Guardian."

"Your Excellency the Guardian," Yang Wu greeted respectfully.

"Haha, I've heard that two great geniuses have emerged in this year's Genius Battle, Yang Wu, you even won first place! I'm so glad to finally meet you today!"

The Guardian Bafen, smiled and looked at Yang Wu, saying, "Let me introduce you."

"This Heavenly Bridge Plane was created specifically for the 52 Chaos Tablets within Chaos City. The further you venture, the stronger you become. Each time you successfully clear a new level, you gain an opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele."

"Yang Wu, you are studying the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, so you need to challenge the 'Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.' This 'Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge' is incredibly long, with as many as 27 levels. I hope Yang Wu one day you will be able to break through to the depths of this Heavenly Bridge!"

Yang Wu probably understands the difficulty of the Heavenly Bridge better than any of the geniuses.

These 52 Chaos Tablets vary in their complexity. Some have only 21 levels of Heavenly Bridge heaven, some have 24, some have 27, and the highest is the Giant Axe Chaos Stele, which has Heavenly Bridge with as many as 32 levels!

The different levels of this Heavenly Bridge represent the varying degrees of Law Comprehension.

Generally speaking, after mastering a Lower Law and achieving Immortal, one should be able to pass the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge.

If one can pass the 15th level, it means that the challenger has the Law Comprehension that only Marquis-level Immortal can possess, which is the current level of Yang Wu's teacher, Jinguang Marquis.

If you can pass the 18th level, you will gain the recognition of the Five Great Forces alliances and become a permanent resident of the Chaos City in the Initial Universe.

Currently, the 'Sect Masters' in Chaos City who are qualified to establish their own sects are at least those who have passed the 18th level of the King Level Immortal.

Of course, generally speaking, those who can truly establish their own sects are the most outstanding figures among the Immortal, most of whom have already passed through the 20 levels of the Heavenly Bridge.

The 21st level of the Heavenly Bridge is the most difficult hurdle. Once you pass the 21st level, you can become a super strong person ranked among the universe's top, a great being at the Venerable Level.

Therefore, the 21st level of this Heavenly Bridge is the most difficult. It seems to be only one step away from the 20th level, but its difficulty is greater than the sum of the first to the Twentieth Layer!

The Guardian Bafen, smiled and said, "There's no one on the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge now, so you can go and try it!"

Yang Wu bowed slightly, then transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and flew directly towards the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.

As Yang Wu began to break through the Heavenly Bridge, the Guardian Bafen, started sending out mass emails.

"They're hailed as unparalleled geniuses, appearing only once every tens of thousands of epochs. Yang Wu and Bolan are certainly receiving a lot of attention!"

The Guardian Bafen, sighed, "It's a pity that Bolan chose the wrong path; many powerful figures lamented his fate. Yang Wu, however, is different. He chose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, which is extremely suitable for him. This time, he might even be able to reach the fourth or fifth level!"

Instantly, dozens of emails were sent out.

The first to receive the email was the Nine Sword Venerable, who was staying at his friend's residence in Chaos City.

As early as when Yang Wu had just chosen the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, the Nine Sword Venerable had already notified Guardian Bafen of the Heavenly Bridge, Bafen naturally sent the email immediately.

"Oh, so this little guy is starting to try and break through the Heavenly Bridge?"

Upon receiving the email, the Nine Sword Venerable's heart stirred, and a huge screen immediately appeared in mid-air in front of him, showing the scene inside the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.

"Nine Swords!" The three-eyed old man sitting next to him said with a smile, "You are indeed lucky. I have already seen this young fellow. To have cultivated to this level at such a young age, his talent and comprehension are truly remarkable!"

"Haha, let's see just how far he can go!" Nine Sword Venerable said with a laugh.

"If you don't like it, you might as well give it to me!" the three-eyed old man said with a smile.

"Kandeli, how long has it been since you took on a disciple? If you really want to take on a disciple, why not give him to you?" the Nine Sword Venerable said with a smile.

He didn't pay much attention to what the three-eyed old man said.

The other party was just joking. Although a peerless genius like Yang Wu is rare, they have seen quite a few over the years. He is not yet worth the effort of Venerable like themselves to take him as a disciple.

In fact, if Yang Wu had not already comprehended the essence of the Origin Law of Space, the Nine Sword Venerable probably would not have so easily accepted a disciple.

Inside one of the nine-story towers in Chaos City.

In this Chaos City, most residences are identical, while these special buildings represent an extremely high status.

On the seventh floor of this nine-story tower.

A woman dressed in a black veil sat cross-legged on the ground. She had a human body and a snake tail, and her eyes shone brightly like stars.

"You've come!" A hoarse voice came from the snake-tailed woman.

"Ha ha!"

A burly ape-man, clad in golden armor and with golden fur on his face, suddenly appeared out of thin air. He laughed and said, "Wuni, I heard that the top-ranked genius in this year's Genius Battle has chosen our lineage's Nine Universes Chaos Stele. This little guy is currently attempting to cross the Heavenly Bridge. Let's go, let's go take a look!"

"Even if he's a genius, he belongs to your Virtual Universe Company. Do you think he can become a disciple of my Giant Axe Fighting Arena?" the snake-tailed woman said calmly. "However, I've heard that little fellow is indeed quite talented and has already grasped the essence of the Origin Law of Space. I'll go with you to see for yourself this time!"

In a mansion on Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe.

King Longyu's expression shifted, and he gently opened the email in the void.

"Is that little brat Yang Wu going to attempt the Heavenly Bridge?" King Longyu thought to himself. "This time he chose the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge. As long as his performance during the challenge isn't too bad, the Venerable should appear to take him as a disciple!"

"I wonder which level he'll be able to pass this time? Judging from his Law Comprehension during the Genius Battle, he should have a chance to pass the fifth level!"

Immediately afterwards, King Longyu smiled and disappeared from the mansion, heading towards the Heavenly Bridge Plane.

After receiving Bafen's email, dozens of Immortal God, including King Zhenyan, Black Mist King, King Longyu, King Yanlong, Giant Elephant Marquis, and more than ten other King-Level Immortal, gathered on the Heavenly Bridge.

"Haha, so many people!" King Yanlong laughed as he looked around, but when he saw King Longyu, he suddenly froze.

"King Longyu, does the Nine Sword Venerable intend to take this little fellow as his disciple?" King Yanlong asked softly.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding area fell silent.

The other geniuses who were still present didn't dare to utter a sound.

The Nine Sword Venerable, a being comparable to Universe Country Lord, actually wants to take Yang Wu as his disciple?

As the most powerful King Level Immortal under the Nine Sword Venerable, King Longyu naturally knew why the Nine Sword Venerable remained in Chaos City. Therefore, she did not intend to conceal the information and said directly, "The Venerable does indeed have this idea, but we'll have to see how this little fellow performs when he crosses the Heavenly Bridge!"

"Alas!" Upon hearing this, the King Yanlong sighed inwardly.

He came here with the intention of taking on disciples. It can be said that most of the Immortal who come to this Heavenly Bridge Plane have the idea of becoming Yang Wu's teacher.

The King Yanlong didn't take ordinary Marquis-level Immortal seriously at all, and he was even confident that he could defeat the King Zhenyan, who was more powerful than him, this time.

Because, Chaos City the four 'Sect Masters' of the Nine Universe Lineage of the Virtual Universe Company, only he and Yang Wu cultivated the most similar Law, both being 'fire' and 'space'. Although the others' understanding of the Law of Space was no weaker than his, their understanding of the Law of Fire was inferior to his.

But the Nine Sword Venerable is different!

That is a great being who has mastered the complete rules of space. As long as the Nine Sword Venerable is willing to take on a disciple, the King Yanlong will definitely not be able to compete with him!

"Everyone!" The calmest among them was the Black Mist King with a human body and a snake tail. Because she belonged to the Giant Axe Fighting Arena lineage, she could not possibly accept Yang Wu as her disciple. At this moment, she smiled and said, "What level do you think this little guy can reach?"

"At least the fourth level! I watched his battle videos from the Genius Battle; his mastery of the Law of Space is extremely profound. He'll definitely be able to pass the fourth level!"

"I think he might be able to reach the fifth level! Although comprehending the Law Essence is extremely difficult, now that he has already grasped the basics, he'll progress faster. Several years have passed since the Genius Battle, and considering he just studied the Chaos Stele once, this little guy might have already completely understood the first diagram!"

"Hmm, judging from Yang Wu's talent, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to fully comprehend the first image after viewing the Chaos Stele for the first time!"

The conversation of these Immortal beings was not kept secret from others, so all the geniuses remaining in the square heard it.

Then, all of them looked on incredulously.

Keep in mind that Bolan had only managed to pass the second level of the Heavenly Bridge before, while Yang Wu, whose skill level wasn't that much different from Bolan's, was able to pass the fourth and even the fifth level?

This is absolutely incredible!

Little did they know that the reason Bolan only made it past the second level was because his Law of Time held him back.
