The Charm of That Blade

This Soul-type Heavy Treasure, originally named "Soul Brilliance," possesses two layers of secret patterns. With his current level of law comprehension, he should be able to fully grasp the first layer given some time, but the second layer would absolutely require him to reach the Immortal level; after all, his foundation is limited! In terms of law comprehension, many World Lords are not at all inferior to some Immortals, even rivaling Marquis Rank or King Rank experts, and they find it easier to comprehend laws, but foundational power is also extremely important! Even the weakest Immortal possesses a hundred times the foundational power of a World Lord!

Even if a World Lord successfully comprehends the secret patterns of a Heavy Treasure or Supreme Treasure, it only accelerates the process of activating the item and saves more of their own World Force when using it. However, if the foundational power is insufficient, even if one manages to comprehend higher-level secret patterns, they simply cannot successfully activate the treasure without enough World Lord energy!

In other words, if Ye Muxuan were given a Supreme Treasure, he might be able to comprehend the first layer of secret patterns and successfully activate it. But as for the second layer, not to mention whether he could successfully comprehend the patterns, even if he did, he would not be able to provide the energy required to activate the Supreme Treasure!

It is just like in his previous life; even if you don't know how to ride one, you can easily push a bicycle, and a strong person can push a car, but you could never push a train with your bare hands!

In the Dark Universe, the spaceship traveled at 35 times the speed of light. Inside the spaceship, in a quiet room, Ye Muxuan sat cross-legged, quietly comprehending the first layer of secret patterns of "Soul Brilliance"!

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three months had gone by. Ye Muxuan had made some progress in comprehending "Soul Brilliance," and the Sword Leaf Grass had also recovered from its slumber, advancing to the Planet Rank. A second silvery-white leaf had grown on its stem, still resembling a sharp sword and radiating a faint sword intent.

He had already purchased the resources to cultivate it from the Planet Rank to the Universe Rank, so he continued the cultivation process. With an Intelligent Optical Brain monitoring it at all times, he didn't need to divide his attention too much.

After spending a year, Ye Muxuan finally fully grasped the first layer of secret patterns!

"Suppress!"

Within his consciousness sea, a crystal sphere emitted a hazy light. The light coiled like silk, wrapping around Ye Muxuan's soul and making his entire soul much more resilient! If his soul had previously been like a mist in a valley that could be blown away by a gust of wind, it was now like the water in a pond, capable of withstanding even thunder and lightning! This level of defense had improved by more than a hundred times!

According to Ye Muxuan's estimation, even a Marquis Rank Immortal specializing in soul attacks might not be able to shake his soul at this moment! To kill him with soul attacks alone, one would need to be at least a King Rank, or perhaps even a high-level King Rank!

Of course, he is a Fighter and has no means of counterattacking in terms of the soul; he knows nothing of illusions or soul-based mental attacks, as "Soul Brilliance" only has the function of guarding the soul. Moreover, it would be a different story if the opponent used physical means; the Sky Wolf Race World Lord he encountered before was split in two by him, and he died once his Origin Bead was shattered!

In the third year, the seated Ye Muxuan opened his eyes and sighed slightly.

After more than half a year of testing, it was clear that the second layer of secret patterns was far too profound for him at his current stage. It was impossible to fully grasp it; aside from making several more breakthroughs in law comprehension, he would also need to raise his life gene level. It made sense, after all; this Heavy Treasure was intended for Venerables who had fully comprehended the complete Time Law or Space Law. Relying on the advantage of easier law comprehension, he had barely managed to grasp the first layer, and there was no way to think about the second layer in the short term.

Putting aside his thoughts, Ye Muxuan sensed the time; there was about a month left until they reached the target star field. He calmed his mind, connected his consciousness to the Origin Land of the universe, and comprehended the Origin Law!

No matter the stage, law comprehension is the foundation! And the World Lord stage is the easiest time in the entire cultivation journey to comprehend the various Origin Laws!

As his consciousness descended into the Origin Land of the universe, brilliant light shone, and every speck of light faintly radiated a vast and mysterious aura!

If everyone has a seed that needs to be watered with sufficient sunlight and rain to take root and sprout, then the transition from comprehending domains to comprehending laws is that sunlight and rain. Once this seed has enough sunlight and rain, it can slowly sprout, but that is not enough. If it continues to absorb sunlight and rain without sufficient nutrients, the seed will only grow wildly by instinct, yet it will never be able to thrive.

And the secret techniques derived from comprehending laws are the nutrients.

Therefore, before creating one's own secret techniques, even if one's law comprehension is already deep, one must first learn the secret techniques of predecessors. This is to accumulate enough nutrients—or rather, foundation—for the seed that has already taken root and sprouted.

Everyone's seed is different; some are plump, some are shriveled, and some are broken from the very beginning. Furthermore, the sunlight and rain each seed encounters are also different. This means everyone's talent is different, and their affinity for various laws is even more so!

Not to mention those plump seeds, even for shriveled seeds, some people never encounter rain in their entire lives, only sunlight, or perhaps only rain without sunlight, or even worse, neither. That seed will remain shriveled until they die, never having the chance to sprout!

Some people occasionally encounter a drizzle, or perhaps a stray beam of sunlight. Over time, the shriveled seed might receive some nourishment and manage to take root and sprout, but it would be very difficult for it to grow vigorously.

Talent is when someone's seed is plump, encounters sufficient sunlight and rain, sprouts smoothly, receives enough nutrients, and finally succeeds in growing into a towering tree!

And some people are that broken seed; no matter how much sunlight, rain, or nutrients they receive, their seed will never take root and sprout!

Just like the Genius Battle that ended fifteen years ago, those Star Rankers who entered the core area can all be considered super geniuses! But even among geniuses, there are gaps. Yun Ming, who came first in the Genius Battle and entered the Primal Secret Realm, possessed that kind of exceptionally plump and sturdy seed. Ye Muxuan had only watched some highlights of his matches—pushed by the Virtual Universe Company—and from them, it was clear that his talent in Space Law comprehension at the Star Rank was comparable to an average World Lord! As long as he didn't take the wrong path or fall midway, stepping into the Immortal level should not be difficult, and there was even a glimmer of hope for him to reach the King Rank!

As for some of the so-called geniuses from the End Times District, their seeds could only be described as decent. After entering the core layer, they had sufficient sunlight, rain, and nutrients. Compared to ordinary people, they were naturally super geniuses, but they were incomparable to someone like Yun Ming, who could be called a once-in-ten-thousand-epochs figure!

And even the weakest World Lord, once their consciousness descends into the Origin Land of the universe, is something those Star Rank geniuses could never imagine! After all, even a genius like Yun Ming still cannot project his consciousness into the Origin Land of the Primal Universe! Because they are still just seeds, while a World Lord is already a tree; they can fight for the sunlight and rain themselves!

As his consciousness descended into the Origin Land of the universe, the next moment, a sudden, shocking change occurred!

A brilliant, vast light flew out from Ye Muxuan's consciousness and struck toward the Origin Land of the Primal Universe!

Ye Muxuan: "..."

Endless light swept across the Origin Land of the Primal Universe. At this moment, Ye Muxuan clearly sensed the trembling of the Primal Universe's origin!

The next instant, inside the entire Primal Universe, every World Lord whose consciousness was connected to the Origin Land of the universe to comprehend laws—no matter who they were or where they were—was kicked out!

Inside the spaceship, in the quiet room, Ye Muxuan, who had been sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. In an instant, sweat poured from his entire body like a river!
