What is a hundred years in the outside world is only thirty years in the Initial Universe.
These past thirty years.
However, this is the only free time that all geniuses can obtain before entering the secret realm for enlightenment.
A month ago, Lu Qingshan's subordinate, the Black Mist King, had already released a message, informing these youngsters that their time for comprehension was about to end, and that those who were qualified to comprehend the Chaos Stele should hurry up and do so, and those who wanted to become disciples should hurry up and become disciples, because once they left the Chaos City of the Initial Universe, it would not be so easy for them to come back here in the future!
Today, all the geniuses have gathered here, clearly preparing to leave.
After thirty years together, apart from Fire Demon Xinyan, who remained alone, most of the other geniuses formed small groups of three or five. Those in the same secret realm chatted about their future cultivation journeys, while those in different realms bid each other farewell, promising to meet again in the Virtual Universe.
Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Wuka, Bolan, Yalun, and Harvey were also chatting together.
" Luo Feng, you're a monster! You actually made it through the eighth level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge! I even made a bet with my dad that Chaos City would definitely surpass you in thirty years, but not only did I not surpass you, you've actually pulled ahead of me."
"I'm a boy from Manka Star," said Wuka, somewhat discouraged.
"Haha, Wuka —I told you not to compare yourself to Luo Feng, but you didn't believe me—aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Rong Jun shook his head.
In the past thirty years, he and Wuka have both passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge, which would have made them outstanding in any other year. However, they never expected to encounter the monsters Luo Feng and the Fire Demon in this year's competition.
Luo Feng is alright; at least he can still be seen from the eighth level. Fire Demon, on the other hand, just entered Chaos City and passed through the 12th level of the Heavenly Bridge and the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain. No one else can even imagine how strong he is.
And Bolan!
Rong Jun glanced at the white-clad young man carrying the blood-stained sword beside him, a hint of caution flashing in his eyes!
Wuka's voice came again.
" Luo Feng is strong enough, but how come Bolan is so strong too? Rong Jun and I are both in the Primal Secret Region and we've only made it past the sixth level, while Bolan is in the Primordial Secret Realm and he's already made it past the seventh level! He's now second only to Luo Feng and ranks third among all the geniuses!"
Everyone else looked at Bolan as well.
The proud young man looked slightly embarrassed, then said, "Compared to Luo Feng, I still have a long way to go. I barely made it past the seventh level, while Luo Feng cleared the eighth level with ease."
"You can't say that, Bolan, you're already incredibly talented."
Luo Feng shook his head and said.
What are my circumstances? What are Bolan's circumstances? They are completely incomparable!
With his teacher's guidance, as well as the Golden Horned Beast and the Shadow Demon Race Clone, he had only managed to pass the eighth level over the years. Bolan, on the other hand, relied entirely on his own talent to advance from the fourth level to the seventh.
Although the gap between the seventh and eighth levels is far more exaggerated than that between the three levels, it is undeniable that Bolan's progress is still faster than his.
Luo Feng had a feeling that if it weren't for his teacher Myriad Laws Venerable, presiding over the Genius Battle, Bolan would undoubtedly have been the undisputed number one this year.
It can only be said that Bolan was unlucky to have stumbled upon such a gathering of geniuses.
Many geniuses, including myself and Rong Jun, received extraordinary training before the Genius Battle, which boosted their strength in a short period. However, these were all superficial. The progress of Chaos City over the past thirty years is the true level of these geniuses. It is obvious that top geniuses like Yalun, Anuosi, and Xueqiong do not have the same true potential as Bolan.
"Stop comparing yourselves, everyone's exaggerating. I'm the only one who barely made it past the third level."
Harvey spoke hesitantly.
He only joined this small group because of his relationship with Luo Feng and Rong Jun; his strength was nowhere near that of these guys.
With him at the bottom, the others felt much better.
Right now.
A massive metal spaceship appeared above the geniuses, almost completely obscuring the sky.
All the geniuses stopped talking, raised their heads one by one, and their expressions became respectful.
"Greetings, Myriad Laws Venerable!"
All the geniuses spoke up in unison.
No need for formalities.
A figure clad in a long blue robe appeared before the crowd, his kind and gentle gaze sweeping over all the geniuses.
"That's good. There are still 928 people alive. The survival rate is much higher than in other years. I remember only 811 people survived in the last year."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
One by one, the geniuses fell silent.
Basically, someone around each genius perished in the mouth of that Chaos Beast. They initially thought it would be extremely dangerous, but unexpectedly, their generation suffered the fewest losses.
" The Black Mist King has sent me all your information. Not bad—it's beyond my expectations. According to the information I have, in the previous thousand Genius Battle, only thirty-three people were able to pass through the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge before leaving. But in your year, a whopping 107 people have passed through the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge —it truly surprises me."
" Rong Jun, Wuka, Anuosi, you guys did well! You passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge and broke the record for this thousand-times Genius Battle."
A flicker of excitement crossed the eyes of the boys, but they remained standing ramrod straight.
" Bolan, you've passed the seventh level. In these thirty years of cultivation, your progress has been the greatest, and you deserve praise. Your choice was correct; the Nine Universes Chaos Stele is the most suitable Chaos Stele for you, allowing you to progress even faster."
"Thank you for your praise Myriad Laws Venerable."
Before the Universe Venerable, Bolan could not afford to be arrogant.
"Um.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then looked at Luo Feng: "You have some perseverance; you really did manage to learn that move."
Luo Feng didn't know whether the teacher was praising him or mocking him, so he could only chuckle.
After all, his teacher had said that spending time studying this move would be a waste of his time. If he had followed his teacher's instructions and used the gains from studying the Chaos Stele and the time spent studying it on the Law of Space, he might have had a chance to pass through the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
" Xinyan."
Lu Qingshan finally looked at this Special Lifeform of the Fire Demon Race.
" The Myriad Laws Venerable."
Xinyan said respectfully.
"Complete a few extreme missions in the Universe Level trial phase; there's no need to waste time at the Universe Level. Become World Lord as soon as possible."
"Yes, Myriad Laws Venerable, I understand."
Xinyan nodded quickly.
The other geniuses all looked at Xinyan, their hearts filled with shock—they were only at the Universe Level, yet the Myriad Laws Venerable was urging Xinyan to break through to the World Lord Level.
However, considering Xinyan's terrifying Law Comprehension, they dared not doubt anything.
Let alone the World Lord Level, even becoming Immortal directly wouldn't be a problem for Xin Flame Capital.
After offering a few words of encouragement, Lu Qingshan didn't say much more, allowing the geniuses from the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and the Apocalypse Mystic Region to enter the spaceship first.
Only ten people remained from the Primal Secret Region and the Primordial Secret Realm.
Ten geniuses.
They all followed the Space Origin Law.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand.
Ten transparent crystals, each the size of a fingernail, slowly flew to each genius.
"You are the ten most outstanding geniuses among this generation. I hope that all of you will survive to the end and leave Chaos City. It is not easy to comprehend the Chaos Stele —that's why I prepared this for you."
"After you leave in a moment, simply enter into it with your consciousness, and you will know what it is. This is extremely important for your cultivation, so keep it safe and don't lose it!"
"It is the Myriad Laws Venerable."
The ten geniuses quickly reached out and grasped the strange crystal, the size of a fingernail, in their hands.
Although they didn't know what was inside, the Myriad Laws Venerable's serious reminder suggested it must be something extraordinary.
Moreover, this item was possessed by only the ten of them, which shows that it was a special privilege bestowed upon them by Myriad Laws Venerable.
"Alright, you can all go up to the spaceship now. From now on, focus on your training and don't slack off!"
"He is the Myriad Laws Venerable."
Ten geniuses also flew into the spaceship, and Lu Qingshan personally led them away from the Initial Universe.
Then, the spaceships that had been waiting outside picked up the geniuses and sent them to various secret realms for cultivation.
On a spaceship shaped like a meteorite, the six geniuses of Bolan gathered together.
Escorting them to the Primordial Secret Realm was the renowned Meteor King from the Virtual Universe Company.
They had just attended the Meteor King's banquet.
It takes three months to travel from here to the Primordial Secret Realm.
" Bolan, have you seen it?"
Yalun spoke first.
What are you looking at?
Bolan didn't quite understand.
"The crystal bestowed upon us by Myriad Laws Venerable is truly miraculous. I feel its effects are even more exaggerated than comprehending the Chaos Stele."
"Yes, Bolan, you should try it—you'll be very surprised," Baihua, the only woman among them, said excitedly.
"Even more miraculous than comprehending the Chaos Stele?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Bolan's eyes, then he took out the crystal, which was only the size of a fingernail.
Consciousness sank into it.
"Here it is?"
Bolan found himself seemingly immersed in a sea of stars.
One, two, three.
Nine stars of varying sizes and shapes appeared in a vast expanse of the night sky, arranged in an extremely irregular manner.
Further afield.
There are twenty-seven more complex stars.
Further away.
There are seventy-two stars.
"This is the essence of the 108 Space Origin Law— " Bolan took a deep breath, feeling incredulous.
The crystals bestowed upon the top ten by the Myriad Laws Venerable contained the Law Essence 108 Law of Space.
They only need to enter into it with their consciousness to comprehend it.
Being able to comprehend these 108 Space Essence anytime, anywhere, Bolan dared not imagine how fast his progress could be. This was equivalent to the Chaos Stele, which could be comprehended at any time, and was even simpler and clearer than the Chaos Stele, only its upper limit was far lower than that of the Chaos Stele.
But that's enough!
According to the records in " Qingshan One: Space Basics ", understanding the Space Essence is the same as Law Comprehension of the 12-layered Heavenly Bridge.
Moreover, laying a solid foundation in this way will make it infinitely easier for them to become Marquis Immortal God in the future compared to others.
That's outrageous!
How did the Myriad Laws Venerable achieve this?
Such incredible power was beyond Bolan's comprehension.
After meditating for a while, Bolan felt his soul was somewhat weary, so he withdrew.
Of the five geniuses, two were studying the crystals, while the other two seemed to be waiting for him to finish his study.
How about Bolan?
Baihua asked.
"Incredible! This treasure bestowed upon us by the Myriad Laws Venerable is far too precious. Even Immortal God would go mad if they knew about it!"
Immortal God have all comprehended the Lower Law; if they want to advance, they must study the Higher Law.
The crystal that imprints the 108 Space Essence and countless changes within it is equivalent to carrying a miniature Chaos Stele with you. If the Immortal God knew about it, they would surely be envious.
Immortal God possess eternal lifespans. If they obtain this treasure, they can study it at their leisure. Even if their comprehension is insufficient, they will surely gain something by directly observing the changes in the Law Essence!
After a long while, Bolan gradually calmed down.
"That's right, so we discussed before that no one should reveal the existence of this treasure. You're familiar with Bolan in the Primal Secret Region, so we'd like to ask you to convey this to Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and the others—"
Bolan hadn't expected them to think that way, but upon reflection, it made sense.
If people knew they possessed such a treasure, not only would it be coveted, but many would certainly want to borrow it. Refusing would inevitably offend many people.
" Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Wuka, I can relay your thoughts to them. As for the Fire Demon, I don't have his Virtual Universe number."
Bolan thought for a moment and then said.
"It's good that Luo Feng and the others know—they're all in the Primal Secret Region, and also in the Primal Region in the Virtual Universe. If they've all agreed, they should be able to pass it on to Xinyan," Baihua said.
"Good."
Bolan did not refuse, and then sent an email to Luo Feng and the others, telling them about the ideas of the geniuses on their side.
