Only when he got closer to the Chaos Stele could Luo Ao see it clearly.

This is a Chaos Stele, 100 meters high and nearly 100 meters wide, with nine images on it. On the edge of the Chaos Stele are two Universal Language —'Nine Universes '.

He had seen the nine pictures on the Nine Universes Chaos Stele before and roughly understood their meanings.

The First Diagram shows a few scattered raindrops, but upon closer inspection, you can find that there are actually nine raindrops in total!

The Second Diagram is of a light Drizzle Diagram. If you count carefully, there are 36 raindrops in the Drizzle Diagram.

The third picture is of Rainstorm Diagram, with a large number of raindrops densely packed together; a careful count reveals a total of 108 raindrops.

The Fourth Diagram is Star Chart, showing a planet with four moons orbiting it.

The fifth image is Star System Chart, with one star and 12 planets orbiting it, each planet having more or less moons.

The sixth image is a Star River, with countless stars forming a vast Star River.

The seventh picture depicts what appears to be a strange monster.

The eighth picture depicts two equally bizarre monsters.

The ninth picture depicts countless strange monsters, too many to count.

From the First Diagram to the sixth picture, Luo Ao could clearly feel that the first six pictures were subtly explaining the supreme Origin Great Dao, while the last four pictures were just like pure paintings, and Luo Ao only had a vague feeling that he couldn't explain.

After inspecting the nine pictures, Luo Ao's gaze returned to the Second Diagram.

"I'm taking the approach of analyzing the essence; trying to understand the later parts of the picture in advance would interfere with my cultivation."

"I have thoroughly studied the First Diagram; we can begin studying the Second Diagram."

Analyzing the essence is a gradual process, especially the pictures after the Fourth Diagram. Trying to understand them too much will only hinder your progress.

Having thoroughly mastered the Law Essence, Luo Ao naturally and instantly grasped the secrets of the first " Raindrop Diagram ".

Those seemingly scattered nine raindrops actually represent nine different artistic conceptions of the Space Laws, wonderfully intertwined together.

However, he also knew that the nine artistic conceptions represented by this First Diagram were the simplest.

"This Second Diagram, ' Drizzle Diagram '..."

Luo Ao's gaze was fixed on the painting, and a divine light flashed in his silver eyes.

His gaze was fixed on the picture, and his mind instantly entered a state of ethereal clarity.

Raindrop Diagram contain nine fundamental mysteries.

The Drizzle Diagram contains 27 deeper layers of mystery.

On his journey to the Initial Universe, he had already mastered the first three of the 27 mysteries. However, he was also touched by several other mysteries, but his insights were fragmented, belonging to the category of having some understanding but not fully comprehending them.

For example, he learned some of the secret techniques in " Space-Time Essays," which contain 15 similar spatial mysteries, but he did not master others.

If one truly comprehends the Law Essence, then one should be able to master all secret techniques of the same level. However, he has mastered some but not others, remaining in a state of 'half-understanding'.

If one were a normal cultivator, one could naturally continue to comprehend the principles in this 'blind' way. However, with each advancement in the Laws, even the cultivator himself would be in a state of 'mystery and enigma,' and the more confusion accumulated, the easier it would be to stagnate.

Therefore, true geniuses choose to follow the path of analyzing the ' Law Essence '. Although progress may be slower in the early stages, the advantage lies in a solid foundation, preventing sudden confusion on the path of cultivation.

The aura and rules contained within the Nine Universes Chaos Stele can subtly guide others to comprehend and improve themselves.

Luo Ao focused his mind on the " Drizzle Diagram," sometimes seeing countless sword lights, attacks containing the Space Origin Law.

Sometimes what you see is a vast area that freezes the enemy, rendering them completely immobile, possessing a powerful binding effect...

"Space bound..."

Luo Ao muttered to himself, clearly sensing the wondrous connection between the Law Essence!

Although he had only grasped the first 12 of these 18 mysteries, leaving the last 6 in limbo, he by chance discovered the overall connection between them.

By considering both the individual and the overall perspective, he can naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort!

In Luo Ao's ocean of consciousness, a virtual version of him is subconsciously drawing his sword.

Gradually, his sword strikes became slower and slower, and the noise he made became smaller and smaller, but it also created a sense of near-stagnation in the entire space!

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly--

"Boom!"

The space around his body seemed to shatter like a mirror, the sound crisp and melodious...

Luo Ao was completely immersed in this special state of mind and was completely unaware of the passage of time.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Boom..."

The Bronze Giant Gate swung open with a deafening roar.

"Come out, all of you!" A voice rang out, directly entering his mind.

"Come out, everyone!"

"Come out, everyone!"

A sound, like Demonic Sound, suddenly echoed in their minds, growing louder and louder, instantly waking everyone in the cultivation chamber.

Luo Ao frowned slightly; the constantly echoing booming sound instantly shattered his special state.

To be honest, this feeling is very uncomfortable. If he had enough time, he believed that he could have completely comprehended the first 18 spatial mysteries in one go, given his current state. But now he has only comprehended the 15th one and is stuck on the 16th.

To be honest, the feeling of having this sudden epiphany interrupted made him feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.

However, that's the rule, and there's nothing he can do about it.

Whoosh!

He and Luo Feng rushed out of the Bronze Giant Gate. The moment they crossed the threshold, a thunderous roar filled their minds.

The sound vanished instantly.

"Boom!"

The ancient bronze gate slowly closed.

Luo Ao glanced back at the cultivation chamber, where Chaos energy swirled, obscuring the infinitely mysterious Chaos Stele, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

" Luo Ao, this is your first time entering the cultivation chamber. First, find a place to stay for the next 30 years of your Cultivation Residence. Then, enter the Virtual Universe and apply to enter the Heavenly Bridge," Guardian Kandri reminded Luo Ao.

He then smiled and said, "Judging from your expression, you seem to want more. But that's alright. For every level of the Heavenly Bridge you pass, you'll be rewarded with seven more days of comprehension time. Keep it up, little guy."

Kandri had seen that 'uncomfortable' expression on Luo Ao's face many times before, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"I'll be right there after I cross the Heavenly Bridge." Luo Ao felt that if he came back sooner, he could regain that special feeling and try to fully comprehend the first 18 types in one go.

Moreover, he could sense that the combination of these 18 mysteries seemed to belong to a special 'profound meaning,' and its power was definitely much stronger than that of ordinary combinations of 18 mysteries.

"Oh, it seems you're still quite unwilling. Fine, I'll wait for you to come back." Kandri was also aware of Luo Ao's talent. In his opinion, even if it was Luo Ao's first time crossing the Heavenly Bridge, he should be able to pass through the first three levels smoothly, and he would indeed have a chance to come back soon.

Luo Ao and Luo Feng bowed respectfully to the guardian, Kandri, before transforming into two streaks of Flowing Light and departing.

" Luo Ao, are you really planning to come back right away?" Luo Feng was also a little surprised. Usually, he would first settle down for a period of time before coming to study the Chaos Stele.

Like him, it was only after ten years of arduous cultivation that he was able to pass through the first level of the Heavenly Bridge in one go, and then he came here to use his second chance for enlightenment.

These 52 Chaos Tablets are indeed the Supreme Treasure Chaos City, and the most precious Supreme Treasure of the entire Human Race in the universe. They are extremely valuable, but every opportunity to comprehend them is also very rare.

To be honest, it's a bit of a waste of opportunity for someone like Luo Ao to try to comprehend something twice in a row.

Although he knew that during the process of enlightenment, immersing his consciousness in the pictures on the Chaos Stele was far more effective than normal enlightenment.

However, the best approach is indeed to first reflect and then gain insight, as this will maximize the benefits.

"Haha, my situation this time is special. I just happen to have a chance to make a double jump. Under normal circumstances, I definitely wouldn't waste such an opportunity." Luo Ao understood that Luo Feng meant well, so he explained with a smile.

"Oh? A double leap? So confident?" Luo Feng was also surprised to hear this. The so-called 'double leap' naturally refers to a major leap of progress that crosses two levels in succession. His progress over the past ten years could only be considered as crossing one level.

"Just how deep was Luo Ao's previous accumulation that he was confident enough to advance two levels in a row?" Luo Feng secretly marveled at Luo Ao's talent. If Luo Ao could really achieve a 'double jump,' he would probably even surpass ' Bolan '.

"If you're in a hurry, you can stay with me for a while, and then go directly into the Virtual Universe to the Heavenly Bridge." Luo Feng could tell that this person was currently at a critical moment and probably didn't have the leisure to choose a personal cultivation chamber right now.

"Then I'll have to bother you." Luo Ao didn't refuse.

In Chaos City, Cultivation Residence are chosen by individuals. Any residence that is currently unclaimed is open for selection, but once occupied, outsiders are not allowed to enter. Of course, with the owner's permission, entry and exit are permitted at will.

Luo Ao followed Luo Feng to a relatively secluded residence in the very center of Chaos City.

"Please come in."

At Luo Feng's invitation, Luo Ao went directly into the Cultivation Residence. The first floor was a huge living room with incredibly advanced and complete facilities, featuring a familiar ' Blue Star style'.

"Let's go straight into the Virtual Universe Network. I'd also like to observe your fighting style." Luo Feng also followed the ' Nine Universes ' lineage, so he was naturally quite curious about Luo Ao, who also followed this lineage.

Previously, he, Rong Jun, Prince Wuka of Prince of Manka Star, and others had been very curious about who was stronger between this genius who suddenly 'parachuted' into the Primal Secret Region Realm and Bolan. This time, they would finally find out.
