The Ganwu Secret Realm, the Immortal Monument Forest.

The end.

The nearly 100-meter-tall Wind-Thunder Monument resembles a black behemoth, its body covered with twisted lightning patterns and wind marks, each seemingly containing the primordial power that existed since the beginning of the universe, its oppressive aura causing the surrounding space to ripple.

Tang Ping sat cross-legged, hovering a hundred feet in front of the stele, feeling very uneasy.

In the Primal Universe, no matter how hard you try or how desperately you fight, sometimes it can't compare to the insights gained by those with extraordinary talent in just one hour.

Effort determines your lower limit, while talent almost entirely determines your upper limit.

In this vast, almost infinite starry sky, countless beings are trapped at a certain point, for hundreds of years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even billions of years, seeking but not obtaining.

Don't they try? Those realm lords and Immortal God, each with strong will, who have experienced life and death, work harder than anyone else, yet they are all stuck at a certain level because of their lack of talent, unable to move forward.

But some people can advance triumphantly all the way, easily becoming high-ranking Venerable, Universe Master, or even doing so naturally.

Everything was decided in the womb, aren't you angry?

His main concern now is that his body is completely isolated from the Time Law and Space Law.

You must understand that if one cannot comprehend the Universe Origin Laws, then no matter how powerful he is, at most he will be like the Silver Blue Empire Emperor, ruling over an area the size of eight Milky Way Galaxy and becoming the master of a territory spanning 1 million light-years.

While it's true that as long as one remains stable and avoids offending others within Human Race Territory, one can achieve immortality, how many Alien Race could he possibly favor within such a small area? How could he then fulfill his magnificent and grand ambition of Human Race resurgence?

Of course, with the head of the family as a backer, as long as one works hard for the Luo Family, in the distant future, the Luo Family's treasury will surely contain heaven-defying treasures that can forcibly enhance one's aptitude.

But that's too far in the future. What if we incur the wrath of a powerful enemy and get killed?

"Let's give it our all!"

Tang Ping's eyes suddenly narrowed, and with a thought, one hundred Star-Track Gilded Plate instantly flew out of his Storage Space, forming a perfect circular magic circle around him.

Immediately afterwards, the Laws of Origin Wind-Thunder within his body erupted!

"Buzz~"

The moment Tang Ping's Wind and Thunder Laws touched the primordial power of the Wind and Wind-Thunder Monument, the entire black giant stele trembled violently, and the thunder patterns and wind marks on the stele's body lit up simultaneously.

Tang Ping felt a roar in his mind, and countless insights into the Wind and Thunder Laws and the application of secret techniques surged in like a tide, but he was highly focused at the moment and did not get lost in them.

He channeled his Origin Force, guiding the Wind-Thunder and thunder power surging into his body towards the Star-Track Gilded Plate array around him.

"The Star-Track Gilded Plate, harnessing the power of Wind-Thunder, resonates with the passage of time!"

Tang Ping let out a low shout, unleashing the full power of his sea of consciousness, his Divine Power pouring into the gilded plate floating in front of him like a surging galaxy.

The Star-Track Gilded Plate surrounding him instantly burst forth with dazzling golden light. The star map runes on the plate lit up one by one, like ancient secret symbols being awakened, transforming all the raging Wind-Thunder power within his body into gentle and pure resonant energy.

These energies flowed rapidly along the magic array engraved on the gilded plate, eventually condensing into a visible golden bridge in the void. One end was anchored to the core of Tang Ping's sea of consciousness, while the other end connected to the deepest origin node of the Wind-Thunder Monument Stele.

In an instant, Tang Ping's consciousness was struck as if by lightning. He clearly sensed that deep within the origin of the Wind-Thunder Monument lay a supreme aura far more magnificent and vast than the Wind and Thunder Laws and thunder— the Time Origin Law!

The wind is the messenger of time.

The Wind Origin within him, amplified by the Star-Track Gilded Plate, became more acute than ever before.

Those ethereal, invisible wisps of wind seemed to transform into countless delicate tentacles, penetrating the thick material of the Wind-Thunder Monument and spreading out along the trajectory of time.

Tang Ping's spirit wandered with the wind, finally "capturing" the trajectory of time: it was an all-pervasive current, permeating every corner of the universe, seemingly formless and intangible, yet capable of penetrating all existence;

The swift movement of the wind corresponds to the rapid passage of time, as if crossing the vast ocean in the blink of an eye; the slow movement of the wind is the gentle flow of time, like still waters running deep, nourishing things silently; and the brief pause of the wind is the moment when time is stretched and slowed down, even the surrounding energy fluctuations become sluggish.

Thunder is a measure of time.

At the same time, purple-gold lightning exploded in his sea of consciousness, each roar like the pulse of time, each Arc Light like a mark of time.

Tang Ping's spirit extended along the rhythm of thunder, "heard" the inner rhythm of time: it is a long river without beginning or end, flowing with an irreversible majesty;

The explosive acceleration of thunder is like a sudden increase in the speed of time, covering several times the normal passage of time in an instant; the slow accumulation of thunder is like the gradual slowing down of the river of time, making each second feel weighty and clear; and the sudden cessation of thunder is the moment when time is briefly imprisoned, freezing the movement of all things in that instant.

I see!

Tang Ping was overjoyed, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun. Wind and thunder, though seemingly from different origins, both contained the rhythm of time!

Wind carries the trajectory of time through its "flow," while thunder marks the scale of time with its "rhythm." The two complement each other, together forming a bridge connecting themselves with the higher Time Law!

The magic array on the Star-Track Gilded Plate shone even brighter at this moment, and the energy flow on the golden bridge became more and more rapid, continuously transforming the fragments of the Time Law that he had captured with the help of the resonance of Wind-Thunder into pure energy that could be directly absorbed, and frantically injecting it into his sea of consciousness.

The power of time, which was originally isolated from him and ethereal, now seemed to have found its home, slowly condensing into wisps of silvery-white energy in his sea of consciousness, exuding an ancient and pure aura.

He could clearly "touch" the barrier of the Time Law: it was an invisible and intangible membrane covered with fine, star-like patterns, each pattern corresponding to a way of using time, whether it was accelerating, decelerating, or freezing.

Tang Ping's consciousness was like that of a newborn infant, carefully following the flow of the wind, leaving gentle marks on the barrier of time; and closely following the thunderous rhythm, etching clear marks in the river of time.

At this moment, countless profound knowledge flooded into my mind like a tidal wave: the secrets of perceiving the flow of time through the wind, the methods of fine-tuning the speed of time through the laws of thunder, and the profound meaning of capturing Time Fragment under the resonance of Wind-Thunder ----

Within his sea of consciousness, the silvery-white energy of time gradually merged with the bluish-white Wind Origin and the purplish-gold origin of thunder, causing Tang Ping's aura to steadily rise, directly transforming towards a higher level.

His soul power was being rapidly depleted, yet it was constantly replenished under the nourishment of the wind and Wind-Thunder power. His proficiency in the laws was soaring at a visible rate, from nothing to something, from weak to clear.

After an unknown amount of time, the moment the last wisp of wind and Wind-Thunder power transformed into time energy and was injected into his sea of consciousness, Tang Ping felt a "buzz" in his mind, as if some invisible shackles had been completely broken!

[Rule: The Time Law (10/100 Billion)]

I did it! I did it!

He finally touched the threshold of the Time Origin Law. That innate insulating barrier was cleaved open by the combined power of Wind-Thunder and thunder and the Star-Track Gilded Plate!

After the ultimate excitement comes the dual depletion of the soul and the sea of consciousness.

Tang Ping's vision went black, his consciousness plummeted into an abyss, and his body lost all strength.

The instant he fainted, the Star-Track Gilded Plate surrounding him automatically dimmed, and a soft golden light enveloped his figure, instantly breaking through the spatial barrier of the Immortal Monument Forest and disappearing from the spot.

With a flash of light, Tang Ping and the Star-Track Gilded Plate appeared together in the secret chamber of Linghu Island, lying quietly on the Jade Bed.

The housekeeping robot was already used to it. It silently put away and folded the Star-Track Gilded Plate, and then carried its owner to soak in the Spirit Liquid to restore its physical strength and spirit.
