The Profound Mysteries of Space Understood

Tulan City, Xin'an Residence.

Xiao No. 1 Courtyard.

This courtyard was one of the most expensive lodgings in Xin'an Residence.

That ascetic who called himself "Lord Ze" had arrived not long ago. He said he had traveled through many worlds and, upon reaching this place, felt something stir within him. He wished to stay here for a time.

Lord Ze spent lavishly, directly leasing this courtyard for ten years.

Li Dui leaned back in a lounge chair by the pond in the courtyard. Not far away, under a pergola, seven or eight maids were playing instruments.

The music was gentle. Li Dui slowly opened his eyes. It had been over thirty-seven years since he came to the Swallowed Star world. After adapting to this place, he had decided to walk the path of law analysis.

Today, he had fully comprehended all 108 mysteries of the Space Law.

How astonishing was this speed? Luo Feng had taken about ten years to analyze the first mystery. As for the time spent afterward, Li Dui couldn't recall clearly. Using that as a comparison, he was at least more than ten times faster.

And this was while maintaining a rapid improvement in his Space Law insights.

It could only be said that the "Ring" was too powerful. Connected to the "Ring," half his mind focused on comprehending the law, the other half on analyzing mysteries. Walking on two legs, both sides advanced at breakneck speed.

Li Dui had tried it—disconnecting from the "Ring" and relying entirely on himself to analyze. It would probably be about... a hundred times harder? Two hundred times?

That was still manageable. Disconnected from the "Ring," his attempts to comprehend the Space Law were completely futile, utterly stagnant. It was probably because his level of Space Law insight was already far too high, exceeding the limits of the Universe Rank.

So much so that he didn't even know how fast he was studying the Origin Law of Space and the combination of laws through the "Ring."

He beckoned a maid and told her to go to the Xin'an Residence lobby and order the best full-course banquet. Today was a good day—time to relax and celebrate.

In the Virtual Universe, Li Dui also began calling friends.

He summoned Hong and Thor. Jie Kui, Pananan, and that group of dozens—he sent messages to each one. Oh, right, and Gaido too—call him as well.

That kid was from the August Planet. Qianshui had previously instructed Li Dui, saying he was a junior relative of hers. She asked Li Dui to look after him.

Gaido had decent talent, but unfortunately, he was too young—under a hundred years old during the Genius War. This term, he had originally had hopes of competing for a spot in the War Axe Secret Realm. But in the end, he failed and entered the Battle Axe Secret Realm alongside Li Dui and the others.

He arrived at the Ten Thousand Languages Pavilion in the public area of Raging Waves Island and booked a private room. He poured himself a glass of fruit wine to sip.

Hong said he was cultivating and wouldn't join the fun.

Thor was the first to arrive. He was easy to get along with, not fussy about age or status. As soon as he came, he was joking around with Li Dui. Li Dui called him "senior," and Thor scolded him for it.

He said, "Back when you were Star Rank, calling me senior was fine. But now we're both Universe Rank, and you still keep calling me senior—are you pretending to be young?"

Glaring, he forced Li Dui to down three big glasses of wine before grinning and drinking one himself.

Of the dozens invited, about a dozen agreed to come, and they arrived one after another.

Li Dui didn't know what Qianshui had said to Gaido. But the kid was very close to Li Dui. When he came, he squeezed in with his handsome little face right next to Li Dui.

The pore-faced woman Pananan tried several times to shoo Gaido away so she could sit closer to Li Dui and conveniently ask him some questions. But she failed every time. Annoyed, she huffily grabbed a wine bottle and challenged Gaido to a drinking duel.

Li Dui enjoyed such leisurely moments. The universe was too dangerous; becoming a strong one was far from easy.

Don't be fooled—everyone present was an elite genius selected from all of humanity. By all accounts, they should have boundless futures.

But in reality, internal data from the Giant Axe Martial Arena showed that in the Mad Axe Secret Realm, about 5% of members eventually became Immortal Gods. In the War Axe Secret Realm, only 4.1%. And among the core members of the Battle Axe Secret Realm, only 2.86% could become Immortals.

Li Dui couldn't find data on the God Origin Secret Realm. The Immortal probability there was certainly much higher.

There was no helping it. The Giant Axe Martial Arena gathered geniuses through every channel. Those who truly had talent, opportunity, and managed to survive would eventually be filtered into the God Origin Secret Realm. That was the gathering place for top-tier geniuses.

Everyone present was a member of the Battle Axe Secret Realm. In ten million years, less than three percent would still be alive.

No matter what, I will definitely make it! He steeled his resolve fiercely in his heart. Then, he shoved those thoughts out of his mind and joined the clamor.

Happy times always flew by.

For secret realm members, the main theme was always cultivation and training.

His primary consciousness returned to reality, and Li Dui began to consider. With the essence of the Space Law fully comprehended, how should he arrange this newly freed "leg"?

Go all out to create his third sword technique? The difficulty was manageable—it only involved a preliminary combination of laws. The main issue was a lack of specimens; creating blindly would easily result in something deformed.

The key point was, even if he succeeded and met his expectations, being able to pass the 12th floor of the Heavenly Bridge—so what? His combat power wouldn't increase.

Create his own movement technique secret method? That was also something he had to do. But the problem was, there was no urgent need for it right now. Relying solely on basic movement techniques slightly combined with the Space Law, dealing with Domain Lords was easy and pleasant.

Start trying to analyze the mysteries of lower-level laws? This was a sudden whim of Li Dui's. He had looked up quite a bit of information in the Virtual Universe system.

The human race was so vast, its history so long. Li Dui was certainly not the first person to think of this. But all he could find were fragments of words from a few people, all of them dissuading him. Beyond that, he couldn't find any specific secret method similar to Drifting Blood.

Of course, it might exist. It just wasn't shown to children, for fear of leading them astray.

There was no helping it. For a single lower-level law, reaching the 8th floor of the Heavenly Tower would earn acknowledgment from the origin. Reaching the 10th floor meant full comprehension, allowing one to become an Immortal.

The path beyond that was to grind away at a higher-level law. Comprehending one fully made one a Venerable. To raise one's realm, this was the only correct path.

After Venerable, the next step was to grind away at another higher-level law, or walk the path of the Beast God. Both were aimed at becoming a Universe Master.

If neither path worked, one had to at least find a way to fuse laws, striving to improve combat power as much as possible.

So, what was the use of digging deep into a single law? Why waste energy on this?

If Li Dui didn't know certain things, he himself would think it was really useless.

As for the original story, since this book was quite old, Li Dui had read it years before transmigrating. There was no way he could remember everything so clearly.

As it happened, Li Dui remembered this matter. In the future, Luo Feng would witness a sixth-order pinnacle technique created from a single law during the title-level trial of the World of Jin.

Throughout the entire cosmic sea, not a single Universe Master could reach the sixth-order level through technique alone.

Thus, lower-order laws should not be underestimated.

The task of analyzing the profound essence of lower-order laws was difficult but had to be done. Even if it meant relying entirely on his own exploration, it had to be done. Moreover, he had Lian Luo's method to draw from. He refused to believe he couldn't produce results.

So then, let analyzing the profound essence of the Earth Origin Law be the main focus, with creating the third blade as a supplement. He would intersperse the creation of a movement technique to mix things up.

Li Dui thought to himself, it seems my foresight in booking this courtyard for ten years was well-founded.

To blaze his own trail in analyzing and unraveling the mysteries of the Origin Laws, he truly needed a quiet place to stay.
