After disappearing from the sight of Venerable Kandeli, Huang Wuye headed straight out of the City Lord Mansion, weaving left and right until he found a residence he had already selected.
The courtyard was not large, covering roughly several thousand square meters, and contained a small, quaint, and elegant building engraved with countless secret patterns.
Huang Wuye found the cultivation chamber, ordered Dasheng to take over the room's security system, and closed his eyes to channel his consciousness, absorbing the insights he had just gained.
Although this session of contemplating the Universe Chaos Stele had lasted only seven days, the help it provided was immense.
Previously, although Huang Wuye had the Fire Truth Interpretation, Drifting Blood, and other secret manuals to assist his comprehension of the laws, they were ultimately not as clear and intuitive as the simple, sparse engravings on the Universe Chaos Stele.
The Universe Chaos Stele was truly a treasure left behind by an existence at the level of a Universe Master; the entire human race possessed only fifty-two such existences on the surface.
This Universe Chaos Stele had laid the laws of time and space out before Huang Wuye as clearly as if they were a person stripped of all clothing, waiting for him to observe.
Within it, every combination of laws and every arrangement of profound mysteries was clearly visible, allowing Huang Wuye to understand them thoroughly without expending much effort, and it acted like parting the clouds to point him in the right direction.
Huang Wuye was currently trying his best to recall every shred of memory in his mind, wanting to maximize his gains from this session and absorb them before those insights grew blurry.
There was no helping it; the laws of time and space were too vast. Even though he had only observed the most fundamental mysteries this time, and even though his brain's calculation and memory capabilities were now on par with some high-level artificial intelligences, it still felt insufficient.
Time slipped away in a rush, unstained by a speck of dust, and this small space became quiet and still.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. Huang Wuye finally awoke from his deep contemplation. He opened his eyes, and a ripple emanated from them; the space fluctuated like water waves, spreading directly outward and striking the walls of the cultivation chamber, sparking countless flashes of fire.
Huang Wuye stood up, his joints popping with crisp sounds. His blood seemed to have been imbued with new life, bursting with astonishing vitality, surging through his vessels like magma and containing incredible power.
"Phew, the gains this time are truly massive. I have fully comprehended the first 36 of the 108 basic mysteries of the space laws. Although the remaining 72 are increasingly difficult, I now have a foundation, which will make subsequent comprehension much simpler."
Huang Wuye muttered to himself, clearly very satisfied. That was right; only now could he say he had fully comprehended the first 36 mysteries of the space laws. Although he had grasped the general idea before, a tiny difference could lead to a massive error, so it could not be considered complete, and the power had been far weaker.
Having fully comprehended the first 36 basic mysteries of the space laws caused Huang Wuye's strength to advance by leaps and bounds. Looking at the space laws alone, his current level was no less than having fully comprehended the first two diagrams of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.
Corresponding to the first two diagrams of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, if he combined them with a powerful amplitude secret technique, he would have no trouble clearing the eighth level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.
Huang Wuye nodded in satisfaction, but then lowered his voice.
"My progress in the time laws is actually the greatest. I already had a foundation in the space laws, but my time laws were only barely at the entry level thanks to my powerful talent."
"But this time, the progress was rapid; I fear it is no weaker than the level of having comprehended five or six mysteries of the space laws back then."
"Using the space origin laws as a comparison, this is about that level, which is already quite good. At the very least, I have no pressure clearing the first two levels of the time-type Heavenly Bridge with my current time law comprehension."
"But there is still a problem here: if I want to walk the path of comprehending the time laws, I am still missing a secret manual to assist my comprehension."
After a self-assessment, Huang Wuye was quite satisfied, though he pondered inwardly that he would have to trouble his teacher, Huoyu King, for this manual. He figured the King would not mind putting in a little effort.
Huang Wuye did not intend to spend his own energy on this; after all, it was nothing to Huoyu King, and the clan was not lacking in such secret manuals.
Selecting a suitable manual was easy for Huoyu King. Huang Wuye was not pedantic; he felt no psychological pressure when it came to borrowing strength.
He and the Desolate God Clan were one and the same; he might as well use the secret manual resources within the clan rather than spending points to exchange for them.
Thinking of this, Huang Wuye summoned Dasheng and had him send an email to Huoyu King, explaining the reason.
Before long, Huoyu King replied, and Huang Wuye hurriedly had Dasheng display the message.
"Wuye, I am already aware that you chose the Universe Chaos Stele this time. I will not comment too much on this, but you must know that there are three paths for the Universe Chaos Stele."
"Two of them are based primarily on either the time or space laws with the other as a supplement, and the last is the path of practicing both in parallel."
"While the path of practicing both is powerful, it is extremely difficult. I know your talent is great, and you may try it, but you must also do your best."
"Furthermore, you must remember to first comprehend the lower-level laws. Your analysis of the fire laws has already reached a high level; you should prioritize the fire laws."
"This is also the best path. After all, to become an immortal, one must first fully comprehend a lower-level law. Only by ensuring you can become an immortal will you have endless life to explore the mysteries of the universe."
"As for the time secret manual you requested, the clan has a classic called Zhou's Detailed Explanation. It can assist you in comprehending the time origin laws and was written by an elder of the clan who is a Venerable of time. I will find it for you in a few days."
After reading the message, Huang Wuye was quite moved. Although he had spent little time with his teacher Huoyu King, the King was indeed very concerned for him.
Huang Wuye also valued Huoyu King's advice highly. He decided that his main body would currently focus on the fire origin laws, followed by the time and space laws.
His law comprehension was already fast enough; as long as he remained steady, he could advance rapidly.
"However, given my current strength, I can take the path of focusing on the space laws for the Universe Chaos Stele first, while slowly improving my progress in the time laws."
A flash of inspiration struck Huang Wuye, and he felt this was also a good approach.
"Hmm, then I will clear the Heavenly Bridge first. But there is no rush; let me first integrate the newly comprehended laws into the Spear Canon."
Huang Wuye had wanted to clear the Universe Heavenly Bridge first to gain more opportunities to contemplate the Universe Chaos Stele.
However, he forcibly suppressed this impulse. He split off a wisp of consciousness to enter the Virtual Universe and headed straight for the Slaughter Space, preparing to hone his spear techniques first.
In an instant, two identical figures crossed paths in the Slaughter Space, and the sound of clashing spears rang out. Huang Wuye did not set up any other opponents; at this moment, there was no better sparring partner than an opponent with identical strength.
As they fought continuously, Huang Wuye's improved law insights were constantly integrated into the Spear Canon. The spear in his hand became increasingly agile, and its power grew more and more astonishing.
His spear technique was very simple, and everything was self-created. This was his advantage and the most suitable offensive skill for him, which allowed him to improve rapidly after his law comprehension increased, seamlessly merging with his Spear Canon.
