The Outbreak

At this moment, Xu Qing's message, transmitted through the Heavenly Bridge, had already reached all the geniuses.

"What?! That Perverted Lobster Head made it through the second level! I thought he was finally getting his comeuppance and was about to fall from grace, but I guessed wrong after all."

"That damn Perverted Lobster Head, is he going to end up like Bolan? No way! Draw a circle and curse him!"

"That Perverted Lobster Head is definitely doing it on purpose, trying to torture others. That's why he deliberately didn't try to cross the Heavenly Bridge for so long, and then suddenly did it. He's absolutely insane!"

Immediately, many geniuses were furious about this.

Considering Xu Qing's despicable behavior in the Genius Battle, they were all quite certain that Xu Qing had done it on purpose, playing them for fools.

God knows how happy and thrilled they were when they discovered that Xu Qing hadn't even made it past the first level. They were on the first level, while Xu Qing was on the second.

After crossing the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, no one else but Xu Qing could be cursed by so many people in their hearts.

"Oh no, Uncle Little Azure Dragon is starting to exert his power!" Rong Jun and Wuka both realized what was happening.

Only a few people who knew Xu Qing understood that the more low-key Xu Qing was and the more pathetic he appeared, the more terrifying he became.

As expected, Xu Qing made a move and passed through the Heavenly Bridge.

Bolan also learned of this, and frowned slightly, "This guy treats cultivation like a game."

He knew that Xu Qing, who dared to choose the Universe Chaos Stele just like him, couldn't possibly be that weak. He also realized that Xu Qing was doing it on purpose, just playing around.

"Just how well have you been hiding your abilities?" Bolan's eyes narrowed slightly, then he continued to immerse himself in his cultivation.

After passing through the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, Xu Qing received 3,000 points and two opportunities to comprehend the Universe Chaos Stele.

One opportunity allows you to study the Chaos Stele for seven days; two opportunities would give you fourteen days.

"Alright, it's time to go see Lord Candery," Xu Qing said as he went to the secret chamber where he was studying the Chaos Stele.

Outside the secret room, the same old men still stood, seemingly unchanging.

"Lord Candery, I've come to see you," Xu Qing called out from afar.

Candery looked at it and laughed, "Little guy, it's been ten years already, hasn't it? Didn't you say you'd come to see me often?"

"Oh, I wanted to too, but the Heavenly Bridge is so difficult. It took me a lot of effort to get through the first and second levels, and I'm here now," Xu Qing said with a grin.

"Oh, you bypassed two levels directly?" A look of surprise flashed in Candery's eyes.

"Yes, how about it, Lord Candery, am I amazing?" Xu Qing put his hands on his hips.

Candery laughed. "Little guy, only on the second level. Don't be arrogant. Alright, there's no one in the secret room. Go in. Do you want to use one chance, or both at the same time?"

"If we use both chances at once, we might not get another one. Let's use them first," Xu Qing said.

"I really don't know whether to say you're confident or not," Candery chuckled.

As Xu Qing entered the secret room and the door began to close, Candery remembered something, "Little guy, what's your name?"

"Me? Xu Qing, just call me Xiao Qing," Xu Qing replied, and then the door closed.

"Xu Qing," Candery smiled slightly.

Universe Chaos Stele, amidst the Chaos chaos, Xu Qing sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend the Second Diagram on it.

The Second Diagram primarily illustrates the foundation and essence of time.

Only after understanding the essence and foundation of space in the first diagram, and then the essence and foundation of time in the Second Diagram, can one proceed to the third diagram.

Starting with the third image, it goes beyond the basics of space and time; it becomes profound and mysterious.

In other words, the first and Second Diagram are preparations for the third and subsequent diagrams; they form the foundation.

Xu Qing quickly became engrossed in the subject, beginning to comprehend the foundation and essence of time.

This time he can study it for fourteen consecutive days, which should be enough for him to fully understand the Second Diagram.

After all, he had a foundational understanding of the Origin Law of Time.

On the eleventh day, Xu Qing opened her eyes.

"So this is the essence of time, the flow of matter, the flow of life, the flow of all things," Xu Qing murmured, a wave of time rippled out from his body, and the flow of those Chaos currents slowed down.

Even the space itself was affected to some extent.

The flow of time is an inevitable trend; to completely stop this flow, the Origin Law of Time must be perfected.

At that time, once it is unleashed, Time Stop.

The fluctuations in time quickly subsided, and the flow of the Chaos energy returned to normal.

"Akaro, how much time do we have left?" Xu Qing asked.

"Elder Brother, there are three days and eight hours left," Akaro replied.

Xu Qing nodded, then looked at the third image on the Universe Chaos Stele. This image began to reveal the profound mysteries contained within the two Origin Law of space and time.

Because these are the two Higher Origin Law of time and space, their profound mysteries are even more difficult to comprehend.

Fortunately, Xu Qing had been observing the operation and evolution of the Origin Law Origin Law the rifts in the universe for the past ten years. Needless to say, he had already grasped some of the mysteries of the Origin Law of Space, and he could also comprehend some of the profound mysteries of the Origin Law of Time. Therefore, comprehending the third image was not difficult.

Furthermore, Xu Qing has even made some progress in the fusion of the two Higher Origin Law, something that wasn't even mentioned on the Universe Chaos Stele.

Because he had already grasped that thread, the thread that could connect time and space.

Soon, the time was up.

This time, Lord Candery didn't shout as loudly as usual.

"Lord Candery, that's great! Here's a little heart as a reward," Xu Qing said, stepping out and giving Candery a heart gesture as a sign of praise.

Candery chuckled, surprised to be praised by a little guy. And honestly, it felt pretty good.

"Lord Candery, I'm going to cultivate now. I'll try to come see you earlier next time. Bye-bye," Xu Qing said before leaving.

"What a lively little fellow," Candery said with a smile, shaking his head.

Near the city lord's mansion, on the rooftops of two small buildings, a figure sat cross-legged on each rooftop.

One of them was Luo Feng, who had been sitting in meditation for a long time, trying to comprehend something; his hair had even grown long.

The person next to him was Xu Qing, who was using his Mind's Eye to observe the cosmic cracks in the sky.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar figure appeared in the distance, accompanied by the covering of Power of Space.

In Xu Qing's Mind's Eye, the flow of spatial power was completely transparent.

The person was tall and slender, a woman, and a very powerful one at that, who deliberately used the Origin Law of Space to conceal her presence.

"Yes, she's observing me and my brother-in-law," Xu Qing noticed the other woman's gaze.

"This older sister is quite pretty, but why is she hiding in the shadows spying on me? Is it because I'm too handsome and she's taken a liking to me?" Xu Qing wondered.

"What a sin, beautiful older sister. Although you are very beautiful, I am ultimately a man you can never have," Xu Qing sighed inwardly.

After observing Xu Qing and Luo Feng in the shadows for a moment, the woman left without a sound.

A few days later, Luo Feng, who had been studying the secret technique, finally woke up.

He went to the Heavenly Bridge immediately, and Babata told him about the situation of the others.

"Xiao Qing only tried to cross the Heavenly Bridge after ten years?" Luo Feng asked in surprise. Was this kid doing it on purpose? And he only crossed two levels, clearly holding back.

However, Xu Qing had already passed the second level and had caught up with the main group.

Next up is him. He doesn't need to think too much; he just needs to get to work.

"Bolan, I'm going to make the first move," Luo Feng said with a slight smile. His target had always been Xu Qing.

As for Bolan, he was merely a competitor, nothing more.

Soon after, news spread that Luo Feng had passed the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge, causing an immediate sensation.

"What?! The fourth level?! How is that possible?! That means he's crossed three levels of the Heavenly Bridge in a row!"

"Madman! Absolutely Madman! He's caught up with Bolan!"

All the geniuses were restless; even Bolan was astonished when he heard the news.

Yu Xiang Mountain, Tai Chu Zone.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Luo Feng has just passed through the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge and caught up with Your Highness Bolan," Lena immediately reported to Xu Qing upon hearing this news.

"Oh," Xu Qing replied calmly, leaning back in her recliner.

This puzzled Lena. Shouldn't she be happy for Luo Feng?

"Your Highness, aren't you happy?" Lena asked.

"I'm happy, of course I'm happy. Besides, isn't it expected that my brother-in-law will pass the fourth level? There's nothing to be surprised about," Xu Qing said lazily.

"Should be?" Lena didn't quite understand. Was there really such a thing as "should be" in this kind of thing?

"Lena, you still don't understand genius enough. A genius should break the rules. If you can't break the rules, you're just a talent. Below the talent, there's mediocrity, you know?" Xu Qing said.

Lena remained silent, indicating that she didn't understand, but she sensed that Xu Qing was implying something.

Come to think of it, this wasn't the first time she'd heard Xu Qing say such strange things; she never really understood them anyway.

If you say he's pretending to be profound, then what he says seems to make some sense; if you say he's smart, then he's always someone you can't understand.

"I'm not saying anything more, I'm going back to my hometown," Xu Qing said before leaving.

Lena was speechless; she had never met such a bizarre person.

On Black Dragon Mountain Island, Xu Qing appeared in an upscale residential area.

"Oh, isn't that my dear little nephew Luo Ping? Uncle's here!" Xu Qing exclaimed as soon as he saw a young man who looked a lot like Xu Xin.

The young man shuddered instantly, turned around, and exclaimed, "Uncle, you've come!"

"Yes, come on, your little uncle is ready to give you a warm hug," Xu Qing said, opening his arms and waiting for someone to throw themselves into his arms.

Luo Ping's lips twitched. "Uncle, stop fooling around. I'm a father now."

"What's the big deal? Even if you're a father now, you're still my little nephew. Your uncle doesn't mind, come on," Xu Qing said.

"No, Uncle, please sit down. I'll go call Mom and Uncle," Luo Ping said, and then slipped away.

Xu Qing shook her head. "This child isn't as affectionate as he gets older. He was more fun when he was little."

"Xiao Qing, you're slacking off again," Xu Xin said a moment later as she came out, dressed in a professional suit, exuding the air of a strong woman, her demeanor completely different from her previous rich girl days.

Xu Qing chuckled, "How can you call it slacking off? I just call it coming home to visit often."

"Then why didn't you call Teacher Qin and Zhao Ruo?" Xu Xin smiled.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Oh, right, my brother-in-law has finished his seclusion and should be back soon," Xu Qing said.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Xin's eyes.

"By the way, where's Luo Ping? Why hasn't he come out?" Xu Qing asked.

"It's just that I can't handle you, my little uncle," Xu Xin rolled her eyes at him. She always treated the two brothers like children, and would often take out photos of them eating feet when they were little to tease them.

The two brothers were both grown up; it was too awkward, so naturally they avoided Xu Qing like the plague.

It's fair to say that the closer the two brothers were to Xu Qing when they were young, the more afraid they are of him now.

"Sigh, the children are all grown up," Xu Qing sighed wistfully.

Xu Xin was both amused and exasperated. She raised her hand and tapped him lightly. The Luo Ping brothers were both grown up, with several generations of children, but this silly younger brother was still like a child who never grew up.

Is it because they don't have children yet?

No, Xu Xin felt it had nothing to do with the child; Xu Qing was just that kind of person.

"Okay, I'm going to find Linlin and Ruoruo now, bye-bye," Xu Qing waved and left.

Xu Xin smiled, turned around, and went back into the house.

In another building in the residential complex was the home of Xu Qing, Qin Lin, Zhao Ruo.

"I'm back," Xu Qing called out as she entered the house.

"You're here to slack off, aren't you?" Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo were both there, looking at him with smiles.

More than thirty years have passed since the Original Universe. Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo have long since retired from their posts and now spend most of their time cultivating in the Virtual Universe.

They are now both Planetary Level Warrior; Qin Lin is at the fourth level of the Planetary Level, Zhao Ruo at the Planetary Level.

With Xu Qing providing them with cultivation resources, their cultivation speed was not slow.

"What are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Xu Qing glared at them.

"You are," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo both laughed.

Xu Qing sat down among them, straddling one of them with an air of authority, just like a gangster boss.

"Is there anything about your cultivation that you need my help with?" Xu Qing asked lazily.

"Of course," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo didn't stand on ceremony with him. Having a genius at the Universe Level guide them, two at the Planetary Level, was something that outsiders could only envy.

Over the years, Xu Qing would occasionally return to visit his family and offer them guidance on cultivation. After all, he wasn't a cultivation fanatic and preferred a balance between work and rest.

After staying for a day, Xu Qing left.

Before leaving, he went to see Thor, the second brother, and showed off a bit, gave him some encouragement, and then left.

"This Fourth Brother is definitely showing off on purpose," Thor couldn't help but mutter.

Lord Wu snorted, "Who told you to be so useless? Hurry up and go cultivate."

Thor dared not argue and obediently went off to cultivate himself.

In Chaos City, a spacious training ground stands, where the grandmasters of the Nine Universe School give lectures. Every day, many Warrior and Spirit Controller from the Nine Universe School come to listen to the lectures, including Domain Lord and World Lord.

That day, a young man with black hair walked in; it was Luo Feng.

Once you pass the third level of the Heavenly Bridge, you are qualified to enter the dojo of that school to attend classes.

Furthermore, if you want to become an apprentice, you must choose the strongest master for your first lesson; this is a matter of respect. If you don't want to become an apprentice, it doesn't matter; you can listen to whose lesson first.

Today, it is the King Zhen Yan who is giving a lecture, so Luo Feng came because he wants to become the King Zhen Yan's disciple.
