The Path of Law Analysis

After some thought, clearing the first level of the Heavenly Bridge was not impossible.

Even if his current level of insight was still a bit lacking, he would certainly be able to pass if he waited for a while longer.

The problem was that he still had some reservations about letting others watch him fight.

He could currently hold his own against the virtual version of his original self, but when he watched the recordings afterward, he often felt that his split-second reactions and decision-making appeared incredibly stupid. If not for these flaws, he could have achieved a seventy-thirty split against his original self.

"No, the bridge-crossing matter will have to wait. In that case, I can only..." Li Dui's heart stirred, and he said, "Xiao Le, look up the residence Lian Luo once occupied in Chaos City."

"Searching now."

The auxiliary AI acted quickly.

"Master, the residence number for Lian Luo in Chaos City is 0290028981."

"Navigate," Li Dui said decisively.

"Understood. Plotting your route now."

He left his residence without looking back, following the navigation as he flew toward his destination.

At the entrance of residence 020028981.

A line of text was inscribed on the wall of this dwelling—Nine Universe School.

Li Dui knew that any residence with this marking belonged to a public cultivation site of special significance. They were designed to facilitate the meditation and practice of geniuses who needed them and were not permitted for private occupation.

He entered directly through the main gate and leaped onto the rooftop terrace.

There were no other geniuses here at the moment. The path of analyzing laws was not an easy one to walk, and the average genius did not have much understanding of such information.

Li Dui strolled around the terrace, which was a hundred meters in length and width.

The terrace was covered in various messy, casual carvings, along with a few lines of very peculiar text.

Li Dui paid no mind to the casual carvings; he had come for these few lines of peculiar text.

There were 108 characters in total.

Li Dui did not recognize the characters, nor did he need to. What mattered were the characters themselves. Each character represented a sword technique, and each sword technique expressed what Lian Luo believed to be the most fundamental mysteries of the essence of the Law of Space.

Li Dui did not need to follow Lian Luo's path entirely. He needed a template to show him how to analyze things; otherwise, he would not know where to begin.

He sat cross-legged before the first character. Within a few short seconds, Li Dui successfully entered a state of focus. He was an old hand at this now; not only could he enter the state quickly, but he also wouldn't be kicked out just because his mind wandered.

If one were to ask about Li Dui's current speed of insight, let's put it this way: his original self comprehended the Earth Origin Law at age 310, crossed the threshold of the Law of Earth at 340, and comprehended a sliver of the Origin Law of Space at 350.

The peak genius competition began when he was 376, lasting about four years. It took another three years of travel to reach Chaos City, where he meditated on the Giant Axe Chaos Stele and then spent another year in quiet cultivation.

That was a total of 74 years, or 888 months.

Yet, Li Dui was now confident. If he started from scratch, he could spend one month specializing in Wind and Time, or Lightning and Time, or Light and Time. Any one of these would allow him to reach or even exceed the level of law comprehension his original self had attained before death.

Just one month. That was nearly a thousand times the speed of insight.

Is it exaggerated? It is, yet it isn't.

The human race is vast. Some geniuses possess talent that transcends the imagination of ordinary people.

Without looking too far back, just take Luo Feng's batch.

In thirty years in Chaos City, Bolan passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Luo Feng passed the fifth, and Rong Jun the fourth.

Bolan's sixth level was only because of his own stubbornness. Had he specialized in the Space branch instead of stubbornly tackling the Time branch, he could have passed the seventh level.

As for the one thousand geniuses in each competition, over 99% of them could not pass the third level of the Heavenly Bridge within thirty years.

Bolan was merely a genius encountered once every ten thousand epochs. The human race produces a genius of Bolan's caliber every hundred million years. Even for a genius at this level, whether they can become a King Rank Immortal is uncertain. They might get stuck one day and remain there for endless epochs.

One must remember that the human race has been a peak race of the universe for a very, very long time. If Li Dui remembers correctly, there are only a few hundred thousand King Rank Immortals currently in existence.

Half of his focus remained on the first character left behind by Lian Luo, while the other half followed the single layer of light on the "Ring" that he had a connection with, constantly circulating.

This was not his first time attempting such a method. Previously, he would meditate on the "Ring" while simultaneously comprehending the secret manual his original self had spent 900 points to purchase.

Doing this slightly reduced his speed of law comprehension, but his speed of understanding the secret manual soared. It felt as if the "Ring" were a dictionary and the secret manual were a passage of text. When there were characters in the text you didn't recognize or understand, you would look them up in the dictionary. The dictionary would always provide the answer, allowing you to smoothly grasp the meaning of the text.

Actually, if it were only a thousand times the comprehension speed of his original self, while impressive, it might not necessarily be enough to dominate the world.

The true power of the Hula Hoop was its smoothness. There were no doubts, allowing for uninterrupted, continuous progress.

Li Dui immersed himself in his meditation.

He adjusted his focus to prioritize Earth and Space, with the other eight branches as supplements. Perhaps one day, if he suddenly needed points urgently for some reason, the most direct method would be to pass the Heavenly Bridge. Moreover, having been in Chaos City for a year and a half, many of the 1,000 people in their batch had already begun to pass the first level of the Heavenly Bridge. It was time for Li Dui to put this on his agenda as well.

On the rooftops of countless residences in Chaos City, an unknown number of cultivators were silently practicing, exploring their own paths to greater strength.

Rainy Mountain, Ten Thousand Languages Pavilion.

"Miss Luliduo, I'm that kid you saved at the city gate last time... Please pass this message if you receive it, thank you."

A voice message played in the private room.

Luliduo was barefoot, lounging ungracefully on a large chair, slurping a large drink through a straw.

Sitting opposite her was a beautiful young girl with curly green hair and delicate, sparse green secret patterns etched onto her pretty face.

The girl took a bite of a fruit and laughed vaguely, "Hahaha. 'Big Sister Luliduo~~' You actually managed to run into something so fun in a stuffy place like Chaos City. Why didn't you pass it?"

Luliduo rolled her eyes. "You still know I'm in Chaos City? If it weren't for your face, Miss Qianshui, would I have been able to come out and wander around for half a day?"

"Oh, Luli~ You've been gone for almost two years now, and I haven't even seen you log into the Virtual Universe a few times. If I didn't drag you out for a stroll, wouldn't your brain have gone numb from all that cultivation?" The beautiful girl Qianshui tilted her head as she looked at Luliduo.

"Sigh~ That's true." Luliduo took a sip of her drink and continued, "Forget it. This time, as long as I can pass the Seventh Level Heavenly Bridge. It would be best if I could accumulate a bit more. That way, even if I fall into the Doomsday Secret Realm in the future, I can quickly rise back to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm."

"Who knows, maybe one day you'll suddenly have a breakthrough. When that happens, the two of us can charge into the Primordial Secret Realm together," Qianshui said, waving her clenched fist.

"Pfft~ How is that possible? A sudden breakthrough? I can't dream that beautifully," Luliduo shook her head and said.

Qianshui retorted unconvinced, "How is it impossible? Look at Luo Feng. At the beginning, wasn't he assigned to the Primordial Secret Realm just like me? How much time has passed since then? He has already cleared the Domain Lord Level Original Heavenly Mountain. After he became a World Lord, I didn't even have the qualifications to check his files anymore."

"Luo Feng~" Luliduo couldn't help but be stunned. That was a legendary name. "Oh, right. That little guy I mentioned to you earlier—he's from the same clan as Luo Feng."

A hint of curiosity appeared in Qianshui's eyes as she said, "Is that so? Call him over then. What are you afraid of? With so many people from the Heaven and Earth and Doomsday Secret Realms chasing after you, the great beauty Luliduo, you've never been afraid. Are you afraid of a little guy?"

"Get lost. Miss, I'm going back to cultivate as soon as I finish this drink. It's Chaos City, sister. The next time you want to go, I might already be a World Lord."

"Fine, fine. You're really no fun."
