Chapter 498 The Slaughtering Sword Gourd! The Boundless Chaos Stele! One and a half years!
This time, Chu Yang didn't continue to evade the question, but remained silent, waiting for what was to come.
The Lord of Chaos City briefly explained Liang Wei's situation, then sighed and said:
"You are the only hope I have seen all these years. If even you can't do it, I'm afraid even if we wait for countless more years, we will not be able to solve Xiaowei's problem."
Chu Yang suddenly realized, and then asked, "Does the City Lord want me to comprehend the fundamental laws of wood and time, and then merge the two?"
The Lord of Chaos City nodded, then chuckled and said, "Besides that, you also need to continuously try to make contact with Xiao Wei at the life level and the soul level until you merge with each other."
Chu Yang did not agree immediately, but instead considered the pros and cons.
For him, comprehending and integrating laws was perfectly acceptable, since even without this matter, he would still be dedicated to comprehending various laws.
However, Chu Yang had some reservations about the fusion at the level of soul or life.
This matter is not complicated, but the subsequent effects can bring a lot of trouble.
For example, after their souls merge, a connection is established between them, similar to a mutual understanding. Chu Yang doesn't want anyone to see through his thoughts.
There are many ways to achieve fusion at the level of life, the simplest and most direct of which is to combine with each other and let life naturally merge in the process.
However, upon further reflection, he realized that he possessed a Soul Palace. Not to mention Liang Wei, even the Chaos City Lord in front of him would not be able to withstand the pressure of merging with him on a soul level.
This could very well cause Liang Wei's soul to collapse!
As for the integration of different levels of life?
For Chu Yang, there were many methods, all of which were quite simple and direct, saving him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
With that in mind, he nodded and said, "Since the city lord is willing to trust me, I will do my best."
The Lord of Chaos smiled with satisfaction and then said, "I can see that you have great confidence, and the problem you are worried about does not seem to be the fusion of laws."
"This surprised me, but don't worry, in addition to the promised gift, I will also provide you with some conveniences during your hundred years in Chaos City."
One of the conditions that True King Yan, representing the Virtual Universe Company, offered to win over Chu Yang was a quota in the initial universe for a period of three hundred years.
The flow of time in the initial universe was faster than that in the primordial universe, with a time ratio of approximately one to three.
In other words, three hundred years in the primordial universe is equivalent to one hundred years in the initial universe.
Chu Yang bowed respectfully, "Thank you, City Lord!"
The Lord of Chaos City was stunned, seemingly not quite understanding Chu Yang's behavior.
Chu Yang explained, "This is a kind of etiquette on Earth..."
The Lord of Chaos City suddenly realized, and then said with a smile, "Before you joined the Virtual Universe Company, the company offered you many conditions."
"Now, only one precious treasure and one G-class spaceship are yet to be delivered."
"Three years later, you will have proven your talent and comprehension to the company's top management, and the spaceship will be delivered naturally."
"As for the most valuable treasures..."
At this point, the Lord of Chaos waved his hand gently, and a dark red gourd suddenly appeared in front of him.
This gourd was over two meters tall, exuding a menacing aura and filled with a murderous intent.
"This is the Slaughtering Poison Sword Gourd, an extremely special top-tier treasure."
The Lord of Chaos City explained, "Generally speaking, domain-type treasures are more valuable than ordinary treasures, and even more valuable than some ordinary supreme treasures."
"Strictly speaking, this Lu Ai Sword Gourd is an ordinary top-tier treasure, but it also possesses the power of a domain."
"Consider this Demon-Slaying Sword Gourd a gift from your senior brother!"
Chu Yang's eyes lit up slightly; he hadn't expected the Lord of Chaos City to be so generous.
However, upon further reflection, and considering what the Lord of Chaos City had said, he understood the other party's intention.
Clearly, his ability to instantly cross the threshold of the fundamental laws of time had already proven his comprehension and talent.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord, it was almost a certainty that he would pass the test and become a disciple of the Primordial Ancestor.
Otherwise, the Lord of Chaos City probably wouldn't have taken out the Slaughtering Sword Gourd.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Chu Yang smiled as he put away the Lu Ai Sword Gourd.
"You're quite confident!" The Chaos City Lord laughed and said, "I will have someone send you the method for using the Slaughtering Poison Sword Gourd, along with its accompanying secret techniques, through the virtual universe."
"You once said that you could comprehend a lower-level fundamental law in three to five years."
"So I gave you three years in the initial universe, hoping you could prove what you said."
"Otherwise, even if you have exceptional talent and comprehension, we will no longer be able to be fellow disciples."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yang felt time and space become disordered once again. When everything around him became clear again, he was already standing outside the courtyard.
Looking at the stone tablet at the entrance of the courtyard, Chu Yang smiled nonchalantly, then turned and left, heading straight for the outer residence.
After witnessing the power of the Chaos City Lord, Chu Yang felt a rare sense of pressure.
In the world of Swallowing the Stars, his current strength is rather insignificant, far inferior to that of the Lord of Chaos City.
If anyone knew that he was comparing himself to the Lord of Chaos City, they would probably think Chu Yang was crazy.
Who is the Lord of Chaos City?
The top leader of Virtual Universe Company!
A powerhouse who can rank among the top three in the entire human race!
The cosmic chaos monument he created is second only to the giant axe chaos monument left by the founder of the giant axe among the fifty-two chaos monuments.
Furthermore, in terms of the difficulty of comprehending it alone, the Cosmic Chaos Stele is even above the Giant Axe Chaos Stele, making it the most difficult of the fifty-two Chaos Steles.
The difficulty of the Boundless Chaos Stele lies solely in the scarcity of prior experience to draw upon, and the incompleteness of its accompanying secret techniques.
To comprehend the Chaos Monument of the Universe is an utterly impossible task!
After all, this is a path that combines the fundamental laws of practice and the fundamental laws of space. Once one can thoroughly understand and master it, one will not be far from the realm of the Lord of the Universe.
After leaving the inner palace, Chu Yang soon arrived at a corridor with towering bronze doors on both sides.
Each of the massive bronze gates is about 160 meters long and 120 meters wide, with ancient inscriptions on them.
"Giant Axe", "Universe", "Nine Spaces"...
Each door clearly represents a Chaos Monument.
At the entrance of each of the massive bronze doors stood a kind-faced, three-eyed old man.
Each old man looked and dressed the same, clearly an alter ego of the same person.
Chu Yang went straight to the massive bronze gate inscribed with "Boundless Universe" and politely addressed the old man:
"Hello, I would like to study the Chaos Stele of the Boundless Universe."
The old man smiled and looked at Chu Yang, then said, "You must be His Highness Chu Yang?"
"My name is Kandri, the guardian of the Chaos Monument's cultivation chamber. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello, Lord Candri!" Chu Yang greeted politely.
Kandri turned and glanced at the bronze gate, then said with a sigh, "The Boundless Universe is quite ancient, but unfortunately the great being who left behind this Chaos Stele has long since perished, resulting in the incomplete inheritance."
"Since you have chosen this Chaos Monument, you must know the importance of it, so I won't say any more."
"Currently, no one in Chaos City has comprehended the Boundless Chaos Stele, so you don't need to wait when you come here."
"Go ahead! Good luck!"
As Kander finished speaking, the bronze gate slowly opened, and he then instructed, "Seven days later, when the gate opens, you must come out immediately."
Chu Yang nodded and then walked directly into the cultivation chamber.
In the center of the secret chamber stood a huge stone tablet, about a hundred meters tall and shrouded in chaotic energy, with four pictures on it.
The first picture is an eye filled with cryptic text.
The second picture is of a sharp arrow. This arrow has no fletching, but instead has an eye instead. This eye has no secret patterns, but it is lifelike and contains endless mysteries.
The arrowhead was spiral-shaped, and Chu Yang felt as if he were in the river of time after staring at it for only a moment.
The third picture is of a waterfall, but strangely, the waterfall in the picture defies common sense and flows upstream.
The fourth picture is a handprint, which looks quite ordinary.
Eye images, arrow images, waterfall images, handprint images!
This is the Boundless Chaos Stele!
Chu Yang withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the other three paintings, but instead focused intently on the painting of eyes, and sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. When the Bronze Gate opened, Chu Yang heard Kandri's voice.
"Come out!"
"Come out...come out...come on..."
The sound echoed continuously, as if forming a reverberation in his mind.
Chu Yang opened his eyes, looked at the Chaos Stele again, and memorized every detail of the four pictures before getting up and leaving the cultivation chamber.
Looking at Chu Yang, Kander asked, "Did you gain anything?"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "I have some thoughts on this."
"Comprehension of the Chaos Monument of the Boundless Universe is very difficult, but if you have cultivated the General Theory of the Boundless Universe, it will be much easier to get started."
Kandri seemed to be intentionally giving a hint, "But from the third picture onwards, everything depends on yourself!"
Chu Yang nodded, bowed, and took his leave.
Kander is right. After mastering the theory of the Boundless Universe, it will be easy to get started with the Boundless Chaos Stele.
Because the theory of the universe emphasizes the basics, the first three chapters are all introductory, while the fourth and fifth chapters begin to delve into the inner sanctum, using various secret methods to verify the many mysteries of the eye diagram.
The sixth and seventh chapters correspond to the arrow diagram.
The eighth chapter corresponds to the waterfall diagram, but only half of the mystery of the waterfall diagram can be verified through the eighth chapter.
If it were a complete overview of the universe, the ninth chapter would fill in the mysteries of the waterfall diagram and guide the introduction to the hand seal diagram.
It is said that the upper limit of the Boundless Chaos Stele is very high. If we only talk about the attainment of the origin of the laws of time, few people can compare with the great being who left the Boundless Chaos Stele.
Because handprint diagrams have infinite possibilities, everyone will have different insights and different growth limits.
Therefore, even in the complete overview of the universe, the ninth chapter only guides the introduction to hand seal diagrams, without solidifying this final stage of the path.
But precisely because it has an infinite upper limit, it is extremely difficult to comprehend the hand seal diagram!
It is said that when the Lord of Chaos City created the Chaos Monument of the Universe, he was inspired by the handprint diagram.
Perhaps only a once-in-a-millennium genius could comprehend the Chaos Stele of the Boundless Universe, but even that would require a great deal of time.
Therefore, many people would rather choose the Chaos Monument with other time-law paths than consider the Chaos Monument of the Boundless Universe.
Because the time cost and the final benefit are not proportional!
Before becoming a cosmic master, the vast majority of people choose to comprehend the fundamental laws of space and their corresponding subordinate fundamental laws.
Compared to the fundamental law of time, comprehending the fundamental law of space is much easier.
Those who choose to delve into the fundamental laws of time are invariably extremely ambitious and possess astonishing talent.
But how many people with such geniuses are actually fools?
Since you are confident that you can reach the summit, why be fixated on a chaotic monument that is difficult to comprehend?
They could have gone back to study the Boundless Chaos Stele after breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable level, and explored the infinite possibilities of that handprint diagram.
This avoids wasting too much time during the realm master and immortal periods.
In fact, that's what the vast majority of people do.
To put it bluntly, in the primordial universe, the Chaos Monument of the Boundless Era was practically the exclusive domain of the Universe Sovereign!
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Chu Yang wandered around Chaos City and finally chose a small building to stay in.
On the rooftop of this small building, there is an inscription of the insights left by a master of the fundamental laws of lightning.
What the other party comprehended was the Thousand-Jin Chaos Stele, a pure Chaos Stele representing the fundamental laws of lightning.
Although Chu Yang had never met him, he could still learn by analogy from the insights left behind by this person.
In addition, the visible laws of the primordial universe and the abundant chaotic energy greatly accelerated Chu Yang's speed in comprehending the fundamental laws of lightning.
…………
On the rooftop of the small building, Chu Yang stared thoughtfully at the words carved on the wall.
"Master, Luo Feng has participated in the Cosmic Genius Battle!"
Upon hearing Pangu's words, Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and murmured, "I almost forgot about that..."
Unbeknownst to them, more than eight months had passed since Chu Yang entered the initial universe, which is equivalent to more than two years in the original universe.
Judging by the timeline, Luo Feng should have already resolved the crisis of the Nuolanshan family and participated in the selection competition for the Cosmic Genius Battle.
"Mastering the laws of lightning will take at most a year to fully comprehend..."
Chu Yang reached out and stroked the words on the wall, a smile appearing on his face.
…………
Chaos City remained unchanged, except that the number of people in the city had increased and decreased.
Ten months have passed since Chu Yang arrived here. During these ten months, Chu Yang has hardly left the small building platform.
On the platform, Chu Yang slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the words on the wall, and then used his finger as a pen to write dozens of words in the blank space on the wall.
After doing all this, he turned and walked down the small building.
The Virtual Universe Company tested him with three years of the initial universe, but Chu Yang only needed a year and a half to comprehend the fundamental laws of lightning!
Even when he comprehends the fundamental laws of the universe across different systems, even though he has broken through to immortality and his speed of comprehending the fundamental laws of the universe has greatly decreased, his speed is still astonishing!
All things considered, compared to his time as a Realm Lord when he comprehended the Fundamental Law of Metal, the time it took him to comprehend the Fundamental Law of Lightning is only four and a half times! (End of Chapter)
