The Yimu Universe Country, at the center of an elliptical galaxy, is governed by a massive supermassive black hole.

Not far from the edge of the black hole's accretion disk lies a gigantic planet, almost entirely a magma ball due to the influence of its active core.

Above the Magma Sea stood a castle, inside which a bald young man with crimson skin listened to an elderly realm lord with equally crimson skin give his explanation.

"... This time, the Xuanshang Universe Country has produced two geniuses, one named Jiang Yao and the other named Moyilin. Moyilin has the potential to break through to the Primordial Secret Realm, while Jiang Yao should not be underestimated. He can wield both the Sui Divine Weapon and the Xing Divine Weapon simultaneously, and the Sui Divine Weapon can also use a second form, the Poyuan Blade."

"The Poyuan Blade?" The bald youth with ruddy skin looked surprised. "It seems he's a formidable opponent. It's rumored that the Sui Divine Weapon, starting from its second form, possesses both Soul Attack and physical attack capabilities. I really want to test whether his Sui Divine Weapon is stronger, or my Lie Divine Weapon!"

The old realm master laughed and said, "Your Highness Daiqin, you have comprehended the Origin Law of Wind and Origin Law of Space Lie Divine Weapon is known for its speed and penetrating power. Although it is also in its second form, the Lie Divine Weapon still has a slight advantage in the arena where space is limited."

"However, Jiang Yao can still wield the Xing Divine Weapon, the Star-Shattering Needle, which is insidious and ruthless, and difficult to defend against. Even if Your Highness has the Wind Shadow Shuttle specially crafted for you by your master, you must still be extremely careful when fighting against him."

The bald youth looked serious, but the excitement in his eyes was undeniable. "Hmm, but compared to that Yanpoluo Race genius, I do indeed prefer to be Jiang Yao's opponent."

"Indeed." The old realm master smiled helplessly, "In the past, it was rare for two geniuses ranked at the top of the Genius Tournament to use Controller Divine Weapon. However, if you were to encounter Prince Sima Yan, you would probably lose more often than you win."

The bald young man snorted and exclaimed arrogantly, "The Genius Tournament is just the starting point on the path to becoming a strong person. Entering the Primordial Secret Realm doesn't mean you can't advance to the Primal Secret Realm. I'm not even 500 years old, much younger than Sima Yan. He can only surpass me because he's lived longer."

"With such ambition, Your Highness will be able to go even further in the future..."

Biqiong Universe Country, a vast God Kingdom.

An elderly man, surrounded by a ghostly blue light and with two antennae on his forehead, read aloud from a list in his hand, "... Daiqin... Jiang Yao... Sajin Fire Dragon... Ash... Sigard..."

"Hey, most of them are just there to make up the numbers. For you, you only need to pay attention to a few of them."

Standing beneath the old man was a handsome young man with golden hair, dressed in black battle armor, Fito, who was calmly listening to the instructions of the Immortal Expert above him.

"You didn't show your true strength in the preliminaries. I guess they didn't consider you their strongest opponent. But even if you did show your strongest strength, if you and Sima Yan were to have a duel, the outcome would be uncertain."

"Besides you and Sima Yan, Jiang Yao, Daiqin, and Sajin Fire Dragon are considered second-tier geniuses, a step below you. As long as you take them seriously, you can defeat them if they are not hiding their strength."

"But this possibility cannot be ruled out. Sajin Fire Dragon comes from the Yanpoluo Race and has countless secret techniques. He is the most likely opponent to be hiding his strength."

"As for Jiang Yao and Daiqin, they are both Mental Master Controller, and they both use the Nine Great Divine Weapons of the Controller. The requirements for Controller Divine Weapon are quite high in terms of comprehension, will, and laws, so the possibility of them hiding their strength is not high."

"Especially Jiang Yao, who actually used two divine weapons and focused on comprehending three Origin Law. If he were a martial artist and had Combat Secret Technique that could combine the three Origin Law, he would undoubtedly be the number one in this year's Genius Tournament. You and Sima Yan would have a hard time matching him."

"It's a pity that he is Controller, and he even uses Controller Divine Weapon. Controller Divine Weapon are weapons that combine a lower law and a higher law, which prevents him from bringing out his greatest advantage and increases the burden on his mental energy. I really don't know what his teacher was thinking. Being greedy is one thing, but he also has no method."

"The remaining Ash, Ninan, Fanluo, Sefizi, Keluofu, Moyilin, and the others can only be considered the third tier. Just getting into the Primordial Secret Realm is already a success. Aside from Fanluo, the apothecary, whom we need to be careful with, the others are not worth worrying about."

The handsome blond youth in black battle armor smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely enter the Primal Secret Realm and will not let you down."

The old man nodded to himself. He was quite satisfied with this disciple. Despite his cautious tone towards Sima Yan, he was confident that his disciple could definitely defeat Sima Yan in a real arena battle. However, he still needed to give him a warning to prevent him from becoming complacent.

"Your strength and potential are among the best of the geniuses in the Primal Secret Realm in the last hundred Genius Tournament, but you must not be arrogant. Entering the Primal Secret Realm is just the beginning. You are only one step ahead of them, which does not mean that they cannot catch up."

"Especially Jiang Yao, he possesses a very important Inheritance Token. Countless Immortal Expert in Chaos City are lining up to take him as their disciple. In terms of teacher training, he is likely to be ahead of all of you and even stronger than you. It wouldn't be difficult for him to catch up with or even surpass you."

Yuanchen Universe Country.

A giant stands tall in the starry sky, seemingly the master of all things in the universe, causing the starlight to distort.

The giant spoke to a young man with purple hair, intricate patterns on his forehead, and purple eyes.

"Your understanding of the Origin Law of Fire has reached an extremely high level, but you still lack a lot in the Origin Law of Space. This time, you must get the first place in the 1008 Universe Country and enter the Primal Secret Realm."

"Jiang Yao and Sajin Fire Dragon both have some understanding of the Origin Law of Fire. You should be careful, as they may have strong resistance to your Soul Attack, or they may have achieved something in Soul Secret Technique..."

"If you can enter the Primal Secret Realm, King Cangjue will agree to accept you as a disciple!"

The purple-haired youth's eyes flashed with an eerie magic, and upon hearing this, he said decisively, "This disciple will definitely enter the Primal Secret Realm, please rest assured, Master!"

"Call!"

With a single thought, Jiang Yao acted like a deity within the Xu Yuan Space, instantly repairing the damage caused by his and Bizhang's wills.

Jiang Yao looked at the "himself" standing in front of him, with the same body and face as him, looking on with a blank and excited expression, as if wanting to have another round of one-sided torment. He couldn't help but shudder and quickly said, "Be good, the game is over, go play by yourself."

Having said that, he waved his hand and annihilated the body, freeing Bizhang's illusory will from the human body, which excitedly let out a series of cries.

"Time really flies, but the gap between me and Bizhang is still too big..."

Jiang Yao awoke from his meditation, looking somewhat depressed. Being tormented day and night for several years would be unbearable for anyone.

"Hehe." Bajie transmitted his thoughts. "The use of the Origin Law is just an instinct for Bizhang. In fact, to be honest, Bizhang is the embodiment of the Origin Law. It's just that it is still in its infancy and the Origin Law it can control are not profound yet."

"But even so, it is still incomparable to normal life. No matter how exquisite your mastery of the Origin Law is, how can it compare to the Origin Law themselves?"

Don't be discouraged. I'm sure there aren't many beings in this universe who can compare to Bizhang in their mastery of the Origin Law. You've already entered the realm of the <Nine Styles of Bizhang>.

In the early days of the Tianhuang Ancient Continent, early cultivators all took the Desolate God as their teacher, contemplating the Desolate God's appearance or learning from the Desolate God's every move in battle. As a result, countless cultivation techniques and secret manuals were born, as well as countless powerful individuals and sects.

You're now on par with the early cultivators of the Tianhuang Ancient Continent, and you're even better off than them. Who can spar with the Desolate God every day without worrying about getting killed?

Jiang Yao smiled confidently. He was just complaining casually; in reality, he was quite satisfied with his progress over the past few years.

The "Nine Styles of Bizhang" is not a progressively stronger martial art, but rather it is divided into nine parallel parts that can complement each other.

Simply put, the nine forms of Nine Styles of Bizhang are actually the nine forms of beak, claw, wing, cry, sweep, swallow, leap, fly, and seal.

Just as Bajie said, it's similar to how the early cultivators of the Tianhuang Ancient Continent took the Desolate God as their master and turned his every move and technique into secret manuals and ultimate skills.

However, it is extremely complex, because each of these nine moves combines the four Origin Law of fire, light, space, and time into one technique, containing countless variations.

In Jiang Yao's vision, in the later stages, he could even integrate the nine styles into one, combining the myriad variations of the four Origin Law into a single move.

However, Jiang Yao is far from reaching that level of complexity and sophistication, and doesn't even know how to achieve it.

At this stage, I can only say I've just begun.

"It's still the Law of Time are holding us back," Jiang Yao sighed.

This unique skill, which combines and applies multiple principles, ultimately depends on the shortest plank of the barrel.

Although he has crossed the threshold of the Origin Law of Time, he is still far behind the Origin Law of Space.

His understanding of the Origin Law of Light allowed him to progress rapidly simply by aligning himself with the two laws.

Although his perception of the fluctuations in the Origin Law of Space is far weaker than that of fire and light, the <Zhenhuang> inheritance can greatly make up for this deficiency.

In particular, the "Zhenhuang Mirror" is an abstract manifestation of the Origin Law of Space. It can help him analyze the laws of space and is a very good teacher. It has enabled Jiang Yao to make progress in the Origin Law of Space that is not much weaker than the laws of fire and light.

However, Jiang Yao's perception of the fluctuations in the Law of Time was rather vague. Without the help of a powerful inheritance like the Zhenhuang, his consciousness could not enter the Universe Origin like a realm master, and he had nothing like the Chaos Stele to comprehend. Naturally, his progress was quite slow.

Of course, this slowness is in comparison to the other three laws. Among stellar-level geniuses, there are not many who have a higher level of understanding of the Law of Time than Jiang Yao.
