"Welcome, Master!" an electronic voice announced.
"The environment is quite nice."
Zhang Junbao looked around. The first floor was a huge living room, with a very complete interior, possessing everything needed for living and cultivation. The electronic voice continued, "I am Service Intelligence. During your stay, Master, I will provide you with comprehensive services."
"Thanks!"
Zhang Junbao replied and then quickly darted up to the rooftop on the third floor. This was where most cultivators had previously comprehended the Dharma, and the source of the Spacetime Distortion and fluctuations that Zhang Junbao had previously sensed was here.
However, as soon as Zhang Junbao stepped onto the rooftop, he sensed something was amiss.
The Spacetime Distortion around him actually began to intensify, and the surrounding environment slowly began to change.
"Attack?"
Zhang Junbao wanted to take a step back and leave, but found that his way back was blocked.
"What's going on? I've never heard of Cultivation Residence being attacked. Besides, I've already acknowledged this place as my master, so the entire residence should be under my control!" Zhang Junbao wondered, but he didn't feel a great sense of crisis.
"Young people who come after you, when you hear these words, it means you have already entered our test. Don't worry, we are all people who have lived in this building from the very first owner, and we set up this test."
This place is the exclusive Cultivation Residence of my ' Universe School '. Every newcomer who wants to become the master of this building must undergo our test. Those who fail are not qualified to become the master of this building.
A faint, ethereal voice echoed around Zhang Junbao.
"Interesting. I didn't expect the first owner of this building to have such a wicked sense of humor. Since this is a test set by the seniors, why not give it a try!" Zhang Junbao wasn't worried that it was some kind of trap.
The administrators of Chaos City must be aware of the special nature of this small building, but they still keep it open to the public, hoping that the geniuses who come here can gain the recognition of the building's past owners through their own abilities and opportunities.
Compared to the scattered transmission of knowledge in other Cultivation Residence, Chaos City likely hopes for more systematic transmissions like this. Each Cultivation Residence has a unique Law Comprehension the laws, and perhaps after countless epochs, this place could become a sacred site similar to the Chaos Stele, which would be of immense benefit to both the Virtual Universe Company and the human Human Race.
"You only need to walk forward and break through the time-space maze we have set up to reach the real rooftop, where you can obtain the time-space insights left behind by geniuses from previous generations. Don't compare these insights with the scattered trash in other attics. The one who can become the master of this little building must be the most outstanding genius of this era."
"Don't even think about breaking through with brute force. The first master was a Universe Venerable. If you think you can be stronger than him, feel free to try." The ethereal voice rang out again.
"Well, they've completely blocked off all escape routes. There's no way to run away now." Zhang Junbao shook his head helplessly. There are all sorts of strange people in the universe. Leaving behind trials for later generations to reinforce and form a treasure trove of inheritance is already not too crazy.
"We will set a test based on your actual cultivation level. If you feel you cannot withstand it, you can simply give up resisting completely and leave. After you leave, the building will return to its unclaimed state; this building is not suitable for you."
The assessment begins!
Let's witness the power of future geniuses!
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding space and time became completely blurred, and Zhang Junbao felt as if he had fallen into a completely Chaotic Space-Time.
"The degree of spacetime distortion here is almost comparable to the spacetime tunnel leading to the Initial Universe. These predecessors really have a lot of wicked tastes!" Zhang Junbao shook his head and laughed.
If other geniuses came here, the mere spacetime distortion would render them completely powerless, forcing them to leave on their own.
However, this problem was no challenge for Zhang Junbao.
Zhang Junbao did not reject this behavior. Not all geniuses are rigid and serious. Every genius who cultivates to the extreme will fully release their nature, true feelings, dare to speak and act, dare to venture and fight, and not be bound by worldly constraints!
"Most of what remains here are insights into the Space-Time Law from the first image of the ' Universe Chaos Stele.' It seems that those who chose this path are mostly geniuses who follow the dual Law of spacetime; no wonder they are so arrogant."
Those who dare to choose the ' Universe Chaos Stele ' and pursue the balance of the two Law of spacetime are all unparalleled geniuses. Even someone like Bolan is slightly unqualified. It's natural for them to be arrogant, because their talent and strength match that arrogance. As for geniuses who choose other Chaos Stele, in their eyes, they are nothing more than second-rate.
"Then let me solve them one by one!"
Zhang Junbao took a step forward and immediately felt immense spatial resistance.
"You think you can stop me with just a little spatial barrier, something like the three thousand Phantom Body bodies in ' The Ten Thousand Line Flow '?"
With a slight twist of his body, Zhang Junbao took a large step forward and broke through the first barrier.
"Now it's time to act."
Not far in front of Zhang Junbao, a point of light stretched infinitely. Although he felt he had walked for a long time, he still hadn't taken a single step. The light, so close at hand, was like the Sun, so far away, forever out of reach.
"A Time Law technique based on light— Time Impact! Those who have left their tests here are indeed the freaks of each generation."
Zhang Junbao's mind raced. This point of light was exactly what the Star looked like in the first picture of the ' Universe Chaos Stele '!
"Light can extend time, and naturally it can also accelerate time."
A layer of darkness enveloped Zhang Junbao's body, gradually swallowing the light shining on him. Then he lifted his foot and stepped over the source of light.
Faced with the tests set by past geniuses, Zhang Junbao countered each move with a swift and decisive action. There was no actual combat; the contest was purely about understanding and applying the Law. Once these challenges were overcome, with slight modifications, they could be used in attack techniques. The laws of Time Law and Space Law were, in fact, the most powerful and mysterious of Law.
If used properly, its offensive power far surpasses that of other fundamental Law. No matter how many variations there are in other Law, they must ultimately converge with the Space-Time Law.
"Having passed eight trials, the shape of the rooftop is already vaguely visible. The first image of the ' Universe Chaos Stele ' has nine Star, so this ninth trial must be the final one!"
Zhang Junbao's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Although the previous tests had taken a lot of his energy, this test of competing against past geniuses from afar made him extremely excited!
The joy of fighting against the earth is endless, the joy of fighting against the heavens is endless, and the joy of fighting against man is endless!
Although there are countless dangers in the universe, most of them are dead. Only humans can use their infinite wisdom to leave behind all sorts of ethereal and strange changes.
The saying "The Great Way is fifty, Heaven evolves forty-nine, and man escapes one" proves that man is the most unpredictable factor in the universe.
Zhang Junbao looked up and saw that in the final stage, nine Star were arranged in the air, operating according to a certain pattern. The spacetime around him seemed to have formed a Strangulation array, using his understanding of the Space-Time Law to forcibly condense nine semi-transparent small swords, intending to kill Zhang Junbao.
"Nine sword bodies?" Zhang Junbao smiled in surprise. The final challenge was actually with someone who, like him, was a user of the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword. However, the person who set up the challenge had a far greater understanding of the Space-Time Law than Zhang Junbao. Without the assistance of the Space-Time Hunyuan Sword, he simply relied on his own extremely strong understanding of the Law to leave marks on the rooftop, which made a physical sword body form within the space-time maze.
At the very least, Zhang Junbao didn't think he could do that.
"I wonder which genius left behind this masterpiece. If I have the chance, I really hope to see it. But nine sword blades pose no threat to me."
Zhang Junbao's expression changed, and his eyes seemed to emit countless rays of light as he saw through the evolution of the nine sword bodies.
"Bang... Bang... Bang..."
Zhang Junbao used his hand as a sword, slashing nine times in succession, shattering all nine sword blades.
Then, the Spacetime Distortion around him quickly subsided, and the attic returned to its normal appearance.
"Congratulations on passing our test, newly emerged genius. Human Race will surely rise to become the master of the universe. I hope we can meet again on the Void Battlefield one day!" The voice from the pavilion gradually drifted away and finally disappeared.
"Finally, we've passed through. These geniuses from previous years are truly extraordinary! But now that the pavilion is empty, they must have all left Chaos City for other parts of the universe. Until we meet again."
Zhang Junbao saw several large characters carved in the Universal Language on the attic: " Universe School ".
In Chaos City, besides the 52 Chaos Tablets, there are also excellent burning insights left by geniuses from various schools, which gradually formed exclusive Cultivation Residence for each school. The one where Zhang Junbao is located belongs to the " Universe School ".
However, unlike other sects' public Cultivation Residence, this residence, which has an assessment system, is not open to all members of all Universe School.
Zhang Junbao looked closely and suddenly discovered that the four large characters " Universe School " seemed to contain endless variations, deeply attracting his attention.
"This is... the Third Diagram, the Third Diagram of the Universe Chaos Stele. The person who left these four large characters must have already comprehended the Third Diagram of the Universe Chaos Stele!"
Zhang Junbao struggled desperately and finally managed to forcefully break free of the four characters " Universe School ".
"It's actually similar to the large characters in the City Lord's Mansion, a terrifying comprehension of Law that can deeply immerse one's mind. No wonder these four characters weren't carved on the outer wall like in other Cultivation Residence; just these four characters alone are enough to make countless cultivators unable to extricate themselves." Zhang Junbao broke out in a cold sweat, almost succumbing to the spell.
After recovering, Zhang Junbao was much more cautious this time when watching the recording.
On another wall opposite the four large characters, Zhang Junbao saw several lines of peculiar text. The spirit of these characters was more detailed than that of the other burning records.
" Feitian, translate this for me, let me see what it means," Zhang Junbao thought to himself.
"No problem!" The fairy-like Feitian flew out of Zhang Junbao's hand, quickly projecting a translated message of Earth text into the air:
"I, Kedi, have comprehended the Universe Chaos Stele for ten thousand years, and have traversed the Universe Level Tongtian Mountain, the Domain Lord Level Tongtian Mountain, and the World Lord Level Tongtian Mountain! The first three images of the Universe Chaos Stele hold no more mystery for me."
Only now do I realize the true ambition of the first master who left behind the words " Universe School "! For World Lord to slay Immortal is merely a matter of a flick of the wrist. I will follow in the footsteps of the first master, venture into the secret realms of Alien Race, and surely unravel that mystery!
Later generations, after you have thoroughly understood the first three diagrams of the " Universe Chaos Stele," and then look at the four large characters " Universe School," I hope you will make the same choice as us.
"This... actually involves Kedi, the disciple of the Chaos City Lord! Venturing into the Alien Race's secret realm? If I remember correctly, Kedi, the disciple of the Chaos City Lord who once struck fear into the hearts of the Alien Race, was tricked in an Alien Race's secret realm and ultimately perished while still at the World Lord Level!"
Moreover, due to the Alien Race's arrangements, even the Chaos City Lord was unable to resurrect him.
Zhang Junbao was taken aback. He never expected that choosing a Cultivation Residence would lead him to discover such a great secret.
"No, how could the Chaos City Lord not know the secrets of this residence? In other words, the Chaos City Lord actually knew that his disciple had returned to that secret realm."
Moreover, what secrets are contained within the four characters ' Universe School ' that made Kedi want to follow the first owner who left these four characters and go to explore them?
"What exactly is the relationship between this first master and the Chaos City Lord? Why do the disciples of the Chaos City Lord trust him so much? The ' Universe School ' and the Universe Chaos Stele were left behind by the Chaos City Lord. Could it be that he didn't found this school?"
Zhang Junbao was filled with doubts; there were too many secrets involved, which he simply couldn't answer at the moment.
Inside the city lord's mansion, in a huge room, a pair of eyes as deep as the universe suddenly opened.
"That residence has reopened. Is this a blessing or a curse...?"
The owner of those eyes left behind a sigh that seemed to transcend endless time.
