Heavenly Bridge

He was already a World Lord who had received the recognition of the Origin Law of Wind, and his insights into the Time Origin Law were also extremely profound. Especially over these past three years or so, thanks to the soaring clarity of his insights into the laws, his understanding of the Time Origin Law had grown even deeper. This first diagram represented the most fundamental mysteries of the time origin. Even though he followed a grand and orthodox path, his own deviation was minimal, so this diagram held no secrets for him.

In just half a day, he had completely comprehended the first diagram.

Among the dozen or so powerhouses who chose the Jinghong Chaos Stele, not all were warriors, and not all warriors used blades as their weapons. However, as a supreme treasure for the human race to cultivate and comprehend, the Chaos Stele appeared differently to everyone; what one saw depended on what one excelled at.

Moreover, these dozen or so powerhouses were all at least peak World Lords who had received the recognition of the Origin Laws. They all possessed a certain level of confidence in themselves, and using the Origin Law of Wind as a springboard, the first and second diagrams were not particularly difficult for them. The real challenge began from the third diagram, which contained the final and most profound mysterious units of the Time Origin Law.

The Great Path of Time!

The dozen people immersed in their comprehension were completely unaware of the passage of time. Even the rumbling sound produced by the opening of the bronze gates failed to wake them.

"Everyone, come out!" A voice entered, pouring directly into the mind of each person.

"Everyone, come out!" "Everyone, come out!" "Everyone, come out!" "Everyone, come out!"

The voice echoed continuously in their minds, growing louder and louder, causing everyone to wake up instantly. The booming sound echoing in his mind made even Ye Muxuan involuntarily cover his head.

He hurriedly covered his head and dashed out of the secret room, and only then did the sound echoing in his mind vanish.

"Is it over?" Ye Muxuan looked back at the secret room with some reluctance. Amidst the endless swirling chaotic air currents, the massive Chaos Stele loomed in and out of sight.

Virtual Universe, Yunmeng Lake, lakeside cottage, third floor, meditation room.

"Master, you have new mail."

Ye Muxuan walked out of the secret room. He had casually chosen one of the pale white buildings outside as his residence in Chaos City. As soon as he entered the Virtual Universe, Nine Phoenix gave him a reminder.

Gently tapping the screen in front of him, three unread emails appeared in his inbox.

Pouring a glass of wine, Ye Muxuan opened the unread emails.

The first email informed Ye Muxuan that after finishing his comprehension of the Chaos Stele, he was qualified to enter the "Heavenly Bridge," the "Illusion Sea," and the "Immortal Altar." Furthermore, during his three thousand-plus years in the Initial Universe—to be precise, three thousand two hundred and eighty years—Ye Muxuan would have the qualification to enter at any time.

The second email stated that once Ye Muxuan reached a certain level of the Heavenly Bridge during his time in the Initial Universe, the five major powers would send specific powerhouses to invite him to join them. The email specifically advised that if he had decided which power to join, it would be best to make contact with them first.

The third email explained the function of points. Points were earned in relation to the "Heavenly Bridge," the "Illusion Sea," and the "Immortal Altar," with specific details provided upon entering those locations. Points could be used to exchange for various treasures within the human race's internal treasury, including exchanging them for cultivation time in Chaos City. Furthermore, those below the Immortal level did not have the qualification to exchange Hunyuan Units for points.

The attachments at the end of the three emails contained a vast amount of various graphic and textual materials.

Ye Muxuan let out a soft sigh of relief.

These things were basically the same as what he remembered, so the first step of his primary goal now was to challenge the Heavenly Bridge.

At his lakeside cottage, three teleportation points had appeared. Ye Muxuan fixed his gaze on one of them and tapped it lightly.

Swish! Ye Muxuan vanished into thin air.

Virtual Universe, a special plane of space.

This plane of space was an endless ocean with surging waves. On the ocean sat a single, beautiful island. Along the edge of this beautiful island were 52 ports, each extending into an endless long bridge that stretched toward the horizon. As if trying to connect to the distant edge of the sky, these 52 long bridges completely shrouded the space above the entire ocean.

Above the ocean waves, there was a faint mist, making it impossible to see what lay within the ocean. The mist coiled around the long bridges, making everything feel dreamlike and illusory.

Ye Muxuan's body appeared abruptly at the edge of the island.

"Wind Blade!"

"Muxuan!"

"Muxuan, you've come too!"

There were a dozen or so people at the port on the edge of the island. Ye Muxuan swept his gaze across them; they were all the same people who had been comprehending the Jinghong Chaos Stele earlier. Clearly, they had all come here immediately after finishing their comprehension, and those who spoke to him were the ones who had come from the Outer Battlefield.

After all, they were more familiar with each other.

"Qing Lun, Blood Sword, Bone Hand, you are here too." Ye Muxuan greeted the familiar faces, casually calling out the nicknames they used on the Outer Battlefield, and then asked, "What is this place?"

"This is the Heavenly Bridge. You can ask Guardian for the specific details." A young man with green clothes and blue hair spoke up. He was also a World Lord General from the Outer Battlefield, nicknamed "Qing Lun," and followed the path of a Spirit Controller. He was a renowned World Lord on the Outer Battlefield.

Ye Muxuan naturally knew what this place was, perhaps even better than these World Lords who had arrived earlier! However, he naturally needed to ask at this moment; after all, as a World Lord General with no background, where would he have the channels to know so much secret information about the internal affairs of the human race?

Not far away, a man wearing a black robe embroidered with stars and possessing four ears but no nose walked over with a smile on his face: "Hello, Muxuan. I am Bafen, the Guardian of the Heavenly Bridge plane, though I prefer it when others call me Guardian."

"Hello, Guardian!" Ye Muxuan bowed his head slightly and offered a salute.

Following that, Guardian Bafen introduced the information regarding the Heavenly Bridge to Ye Muxuan. He also learned that the number of times one could comprehend the Chaos Stele was related to the level reached on the Heavenly Bridge, and that passing the 18th level would grant one permanent residency in Chaos City.

"The Jinghong Chaos Stele actually has 27 levels! Passing the 18th level allows one to become a permanent resident of Chaos City, and the 21st level makes one a Kingdom Lord. As for ordinary World Lords, even peak World Lords who have received the recognition of the Origin Laws, their comprehension of the laws usually only reaches the 9th level." Although he knew much of this information, when truly faced with these facts, Ye Muxuan still felt a sense of suffocation.

The Chaos City Lord's Universe Chaos Stele had 30 levels, and the Giant Axe Founder's Giant Axe Chaos Stele had 32. From this, it seemed that the Universe Master who inscribed the Jinghong Chaos Stele likely possessed strength at the peak of the 4th tier or even the 5th tier! He just didn't know if it was the Darkness Master or the Peng Gong Master from the original story, or perhaps some other Universe Master from the history of the human race who had already fallen.
