The Third Level of Xu Yuan Space
"Within a thousand years, will he master the <Suishen Secret Code> or <Star God Six Transformations>?" King Jingluo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after Jiang Yao left.
"This is Fusion Law, and its cultivation difficulty far exceeds that of individual spatial or Law of Time. Even if he has extremely strong talent in the Path of the Beast God, 1000 years is far too short."
"The requirement to fully comprehend the essence of 216 Space-Time Law within 1000 years is also extremely demanding. It requires complete comprehension of the first three diagrams of the Universe Chaos Stele, which means you need to comprehend the <Guiyi Secret Canon to One> or your <Youyuan True Interpretation> to the third level. I remember that it took King Tianyu a full 5000 years to comprehend the essence of the two superior laws and 216 laws."
King Jingluo certainly believed that Jiang Yao would soon comprehend the essence of 216 Space-Time Law, but 1,000 years was far too short. Let alone 216 Law Essence, even comprehending the essence of a single superior law (108 types) would be far beyond what 1,000 years could achieve.
Youyuan Venerable's tone was profound. "His talent in the Path of the Beast God far exceeds your imagination. I hope he can understand the path he wants to take as soon as possible. Send him the first three levels of the <Guiyi Secret Canon> and <Youyuan True Interpretation> through the Virtual Universe. Perhaps after comprehending them, he will realize the difficulty and give up."
Yuxiang Mountain, within a luxurious manor
"These few manuals actually cost over 10 million points!" Jiang Yao exclaimed, looking at the five manuals and two black stone tablets in his hand.
A pale red metal manual, the "Suishen Secret Code," exists only in its first volume.
One of them was a completely white manual called "Star God Six Transformations," and there was only one volume.
The homepage states that mastering the first three volumes will make one invincible against the 'Universe Venerable'.
Mastering the first six volumes will make you invincible against anyone below the 'Universe Master'.
The Star God Six Transformations only has six volumes at most, while the Suishen Secret Code has a seventh volume, but it is incomplete, actually only half a volume.
Jiang Yao became completely engrossed in the first volume of "The Suishen Secret Code" after opening it.
If he had previously only been refining and studying the <Nine Styles of Bizhang> based on Bizhang's every move, and then gradually exploring the Fire-Space Fusion Law from the Nine-Character Secret...
So the <Suishen Secret Code> is like an instruction manual, explaining the Fire-Void Fusion Law in extreme detail, which is far too detailed for Jiang Yao, who had previously been like a blind man feeling an elephant.
It's like Jiang Yao previously only had a complete machine and a bunch of ready-made parts. He wanted to assemble it using the parts, just like the machine, and he did manage to assemble one or two parts of the machine successfully.
The "Suishen Secret Code" was like an instruction manual for parts; although it didn't contain images of the complete machine, it explained the specific functions of the parts, which was like a timely rain after a long drought for him.
Of course, this applies to Jiang Yao. For others, there are neither readily available parts nor complete machines to refer to. They can only manually make the parts according to the descriptions of each part in the "Suishen Secret Code" and then assemble them.
Therefore, the difficulty of comprehending the Fusion Law is thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than that of a single law, even the Law of Time or space.
"So that's how it is!"
"That's right, the 'Wing' technique can actually be used in that way!"
The "Suishen Secret Code" allowed him to re-examine the Nine-Character Secret from a new perspective, and many previously difficult and unclear points suddenly became clear as if the clouds had parted and the sun had shone through.
Jiang Yao reluctantly closed the <Suishen Secret Code>, as he still wanted to look at the other two sets of manuals.
He turned his gaze to the last three books, all black, with the words "Guiyi Secret Canon" on their covers.
There are also two black stone slabs, which are the second and third layers of the <Youyuan True Interpretation>.
The "Guiyi Secret Canon" and the "Youyuan True Interpretation" are considered the two most famous secret manuals of the Cosmic School. Both of them talk about the Space-Time Fusion Path. However, the "Guiyi Secret Canon" tends to focus on the laws of space, while the "Youyuan True Interpretation" focuses on the Law of Time.
However, this only applies to the first few levels. Later on, they all lead to the same conclusion: the way of combining the Space-Time Law.
However, the "Guiyi Secret Canon" only has 8 volumes, while the "Youyuan True Interpretation" starts with the Law of Time but has the most complete explanation of the Path of Time and Space, and has a total of 9 volumes.
Jiang Yao first read the first volume of the "Secret Guiyi Secret Canon". The first volume contains the Law Essence and three essence of Law of Time. Because of his understanding of the Chaos Stele, and with the assistance of the "Zhenhuang Mirror", he had already roughly mastered the Law Essence.
The essence of the three Law of Time is basically sound, thanks to my understanding of the first level of <Youyuan True Interpretation> over the past year.
Jiang Yao has mastered most of the 5,126 secret techniques.
The second book was much more difficult, with a lot of complexities that made him feel a bit overwhelmed.
However, by calming down and using the "Zhenhuang Mirror," a magical artifact that can only be obtained by accepting the inheritance of the Zhenhuang, which lies between a treasure and a supreme skill, he was able to use the laws of space as a guide to unravel the mystery and find the path to comprehend the second level of the "Guiyi Secret Canon."
The black stone tablet on the second level of the <Youyuan True Interpretation> is even more difficult to understand than the <Guiyi Secret Canon>.
The first stone slab in <Youyuan True Interpretation> depicts the trajectory of a comet. The second stone slab increases this to nine comets, and the third stone slab transforms into a sky full of stars, with countless stars appearing and disappearing in motion.
According to the two manuals, whether it's the "Secret Guiyi Secret Canon" or the "Youyuan True Interpretation," comprehending the third level is equivalent to comprehending the Law Essence time and space.
The only difference is that the "Guiyi Secret Canon" starts with the laws of space, while the "Youyuan True Interpretation" starts with the Law of Time.
Putting down the <Guiyi Secret Canon> and the <Youyuan True Interpretation>, Jiang Yao stroked his chin and discussed with Bajie, who was like a little elf on his shoulder.
"It seems the Chaos City Lord and Youyuan Venerable are pressuring me to make a final choice about my path as soon as possible..."
Jiang Yao thought to himself, "Both Path of the Beast God are extremely difficult, and they are also the fusion of Fire-Space and Light-Time, which are not the same superior laws. If it were Fire-Space and Wood Space, some people might choose to cultivate both."
"Normal people will only choose one Fusion Law to cultivate, but the Fire-Space Fusion Law cultivation requires the analysis of the essence of the Origin Law of Space, and the Light-Time Fusion Law also requires the understanding of the Law of Time."
"If I choose to cultivate the Fire-Space Fusion Law, then I should prioritize focusing my energy on comprehending the Origin Law of Space. After all, comprehending lower-level laws is not difficult for me. After the two transformations of my soul by <Xu Yuan Opening>, my current comprehension is definitely at the level of an unparalleled genius."
"If I choose to cultivate the Light-Time Fusion Law, then I must prioritize focusing my energy on comprehending the Origin Law of Time."
This is forcing me to abandon my cultivation of the Space-Time Fusion Path!
"Conversely, if I want to rely on the Space-Time Law to pass the 12th level of the Heavenly Bridge, then I will face the problem of the <Guiyi Secret Canon> and the <Youyuan True Interpretation>. If I cultivate the <Guiyi Secret Canon>, it will indirectly lock me into the Fire-Space Fusion Law, and cultivating the <Youyuan True Interpretation> will force me to focus my energy on the Light-Time Fusion Law."
Jiang Yao pondered for a moment, "The Chaos City Lord said he doesn't care whether I pass through the 12 levels of the Heavenly Bridge within a thousand years using the Space-Time Law or the path of the Path of the Beast God. But in reality, no matter what I choose, I will eventually be determined to follow one path. It's impossible to cultivate both the Space-Time Fusion Path and the Path of the Beast God."
Bajie curled his lip. "I guess your teacher would prefer you to give up the Universe Chaos Stele and choose the Shenfeng Chaos Stele that combines fire and space, or the Zhouji Chaos Stele."
"Hehe, by setting such a short timeframe and an extremely high goal, you can only choose between the <Guiyi Secret Canon> and the <Youyuan True Interpretation>. Even if you can comprehend one of the secret manuals, it will lock you onto the Path of the Beast God."
"If these two secret texts stump you, they will hinder your progress in Fusion Law. At that point, you might weigh the pros and cons and give up on the Universe Chaos Stele, turning instead to study other Chaos Stele that are easier. Tsk tsk, your teacher is truly cunning... that sly fox."
Jiang Yao didn't actually have a strong obsession with the Universe Chaos Stele. He naturally had the greed to have it all, but ultimately it was mainly for the Xu Yuan Space.
Didn't Luo Feng also primarily follow the Gold-Space Fusion Law? If he didn't have that ability, focusing on one path would definitely be better.
"Hmm, I have the <Zhenhuang> inheritance, and the 'Zhenhuang Mirror' is an invaluable treasure for assisting in comprehending the laws of space. Not only is the compatibility with the Law of Time somewhat lacking, but I also lack a treasure like the 'Zhenhuang Mirror' to assist me. It seems that the Fire-Void Fusion Law suitable. As for the Universe Chaos Stele, I'll focus on cultivating the <Guiyi Secret Canon> for now."
Jiang Yao didn't intend to waste time agonizing over it, and since he didn't suffer from decision paralysis, he directly set his future cultivation plan.
Buzz--
A vibration, seemingly emanating from an unknown place deep within his soul, startled Jiang Yao at first, then filled him with elation. "Is the Xu Yuan Space about to be upgraded?"
The nine drawings of the Chaos Stele and the complete Inheritance Secret Technique of the eight lower-level laws were all engraved in the form of Yan Script texts in the Xu Yuan Space. The rest was up to the Xu Yuan Space to analyze. However, there was no reaction after several days, and he was a little worried that something might have gone wrong.
Bajie's voice echoed in his mind, "Quickly separate your consciousness and enter the Xu Yuan Space!"
As soon as Jiang Yao's consciousness entered the Xu Yuan Space, he saw that the beautiful world with blue skies, white clouds, and numerous rivers and lakes that he had imagined had completely disappeared, leaving only a mess.
That's right, it's just paste, all that's left is a chaotic, blurry mess like paste.
Everything, including Jiang Yao himself, and even the bewildered and confused will of Bizhang in his eyes, turned into a chaotic and dim gray.
The concept of color seems to have completely disappeared.
Amidst his excitement and trepidation, Jiang Yao immediately thought of the Universe Chaos Stele. Most of the paintings on the Universe Chaos Stele were like this: chaotic and hazy, a gray and white expanse. Everything in front of the Universe Chaos Stele would be affected by its spreading artistic conception and lose its color.
Is it Space-Time Fusion Path?
Jiang Yao didn't ponder it for long; it seemed like only a moment had passed.
He himself was also affected by the spreading chaos and haze, and all his consciousness fell silent.
When he woke up again, everything was still a blur.
With a thought, Jiang Yao dispelled the chaos and revealed a beautiful world of blue skies, white clouds, rivers, and lakes once again.
It was as if nothing had changed.
But everything has changed!
In Jiang Yao's eyes!
He felt as if his soul had been unloaded of all burdens and dusted away, as if it had split into countless selves, each of them an independent personality, yet sharing the same thoughts.
This transformation of the soul far surpasses the sum of the previous two!
This even includes the difficult problems encountered when comprehending the Universe Chaos Stele, as well as the difficult problems encountered when comprehending the <Guiyi Secret Canon> and <Youyuan True Interpretation>, and the pictures that are still incomprehensible to me.
At this moment, with a gentle turn of one of the many thoughts in his mind, countless insights arose. In an instant, numerous perceptions flooded in, filling his consciousness, yet without burdening him, because each thought seemed to perform its own function, each gaining its own insights without interfering with the others.
Each thought can be assigned to a problem that was previously difficult to understand, and they can proceed in parallel without affecting Jiang Yao's other thoughts or other tasks.
With a fierce cry, Bizhang spread its wings and swooped down towards Jiang Yao.
When Jiang Yao's consciousness fell into oblivion, Bizhang's seal on his self-awareness also disappeared.
A surge of immense power enveloped him; let's call it Jiang Yao's main thought. While sensing the power of the third level of the Xu Yuan Space, he manipulated the invisible power to imprison Bizhang and seal his self-awareness once again.
This time, it will be much easier!
Jiang Yao looked up and, with a thought, the original blue sky and white clouds collapsed in an instant, the Stars Shift and Galaxies Move, leaving only a vast expanse of darkness.
It was just like the scene that greeted him when he first entered the Initial Universe through the Cosmic Passage.
Then the deep darkness was torn apart, and spatial rifts appeared. Within these rifts, strange runes formed, flowing along the edges and struggling to connect the rifts with threads.
