Chapter 162 Competition of Geniuses, Chaotic True Spirit
"That's right. In just three years and with one opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Monument, you've already caught up with Berlan."
"Berlan made it to the third level, but only managed to hold out for a little longer before failing to pass through."
In the Tongtian Bridge dimension, the minotaur watching Ye Yang's challenge video couldn't help but nod in approval.
"Let's continue to observe how these two little ones perform in the future." The woman in white nodded slightly, and her figure disappeared from the Tongtian Bridge plane.
Yuxiang Mountain, the primitive area, in Ye Yang's manor.
brush!
Ye Yang suddenly appeared, and the servants and guards beside him bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Your Highness."
Ye Yang nodded, recalling the sword strike from his opponent on the third floor.
"The third level failed, but that sword strike brought the combination of time and space to its ultimate expression—so the reflections of the nine stars in the sea in the 'Nine Stars Reflecting the Sea' diagram of the Cosmic Chaos Stele were understood from this perspective."
Ye Yang entered the study with a smile and opened "A Journey Through the Universe".
Progress brings happiness, and it's addictive!
Previously, relying solely on "Vacuum Illusion," Ye Yang's progress was only average. But now, with the guidance of the Cosmic Chaos Monument and "Cosmic Wandering," his comprehension of the laws has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and he is increasingly able to appreciate the joy within them.
Only when one's understanding of the laws stagnates, without making any progress for hundreds or thousands of years, will one feel the pain of comprehending the laws.
In a training ground of a manor in the same primitive area, amidst a world of ice and snow, a young man in white was repeatedly wielding his sword, cutting through the drifting snowflakes, completely focused on his task.
However, at that moment, a cold-looking man walked into the training ground and said in a chilling voice, "Bolan!"
The young man in white stopped practicing his swordplay, looked at the newcomer, then sheathed his sword and bowed, saying, "Teacher."
"Hmph, news just came that Ye Yang has already passed the second level of the Sky Bridge."
The cold-faced man stared at Berlan and asked, "If you had chosen the path focused on space, you should have already passed the third or even fourth level. Do you still want to persist?"
Berlan was silent for two seconds.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been far ahead, leaving all his peers far behind.
Arriving at the battlefield of the Universe National Genius Battle, he still found that no one could be his match, not even able to see his back.
Only after reaching the finals of the Genius Battle across the entire universe did someone finally appear who could follow behind him.
In terms of understanding the laws, Ye Yang far surpasses others, but there is still a significant gap between him and Bo Lan.
In the final battle, Ye Yang managed to avoid defeat by fighting to the death.
Berlan's consciousness, imbued with the fundamental laws, was incredibly powerful. Even though he was no match for the domain lord-level consciousness technique attack, the damage he suffered in reality was not severe, and it didn't even leave much of a shadow on his mind.
The subsequent impact was easily overcome.
However, from that time on, he began to take Ye Yang seriously and acknowledged that he finally had a worthy opponent.
After three years of arduous training, the 10 points he accumulated greatly improved his abilities. He also gained insight into the Cosmic Chaos Monument, and Bolan believed he could widen the gap even further.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yang continued to keep up with his pace, and the gap actually narrowed.
"Teacher, I will pass the third level within six months," Bolan said with utmost seriousness.
On the rooftop of his residence, where the inscription "Lian Luo" was left, Luo Feng smiled:
"As expected of the eldest brother, he caught up with Berlan in one go."
"However—I won't fall too far behind! The path of spatial essence will surely succeed!"
In the Primordial Zone of the Virtual Universe, the young savage was incredibly excited after watching the first axe demonstration by the "Lord of Yuan Chen Kingdom".
As the figure of the Yuan Chen Kingdom Lord disappeared, he began to perform the axe technique again and again.
"No, that's not how it works."
"It can be even faster and more powerful!"
The savage youth waved his hand repeatedly.
After a long while, he stopped cultivating, a smile on his face, clearly very satisfied with his progress.
"Huh? An email from Uka? Ye Yang actually made it past the second level of the Sky Bridge!" Rong Jun's eyes widened. "No way, I must master this axe strike as soon as possible!"
So he started training again.
In various places, the geniuses of this year's competition reacted differently upon learning that Ye Yang had also passed the second level of the Bridge to Heaven.
A very small number of geniuses, such as Bolan, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun, became even more determined to cultivate after learning the news.
Most people simply shook their heads and sighed, "Sure enough, how could something tied for first place be bad?"
Why the head shake? Is it disappointment at not witnessing a great spectacle of a genius's downfall?
They themselves were not sure.
A small group—those who had previously gossiped behind the scenes and even made extreme slanders against Ye Yang—began to fall silent. In his villa in Calexie, he gritted his teeth as he stared at the emails sent by his "friends" and the mocking emails from Ye Yang's die-hard fan group.
Resentment, jealousy, and discontent!
"Why? I clearly have the ability to break into the top ten, why did I have to run into him?!"
"Why do I have to live in a place like this? Why can people in the Primordial District live in manors? What kind of treatment do they get? And what points do they get? How many points have I lost? How many opportunities have I missed?"
"It's all because of you, it's all because of you!"
Galesi's eyes were filled with madness, but deep beneath that madness lay fear.
He will never be able to get over that day.
More than a month has passed since he broke through the overpass.
At this point, Ye Yang finally managed to digest most of his insights from observing and comprehending the Cosmic Chaos Stele and his experiences fighting against his opponents on the Tongtian Bridge.
In the next six months, I should be able to fully digest all the experiences and lessons learned!
However, Ye Yang did not intend to use up the two additional opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele quickly, as these opportunities were extremely precious.
Before using it, you should not only fully digest what you have learned from the previous observation, but also accumulate questions from the past few years.
These questions will be quickly answered when studying the Chaos Stele, and the final understanding will be more profound.
"Next, let's go outside the city and see how effective the 'True Spirit of Chaos' is."
Ye Yang headed towards one of the city gates of Chaos City.
Beyond the endless walls of Chaos City, countless Chaos Beasts roam. Defeating them will yield the 'True Spirit of Chaos,' which will undergo a transformation after the soul is absorbed, similar to the transformation of a Realm Lord into an Immortal Soul, only much smaller.
Afterwards, the soul will be more in harmony with the fundamental laws of the universe, and cultivation and enlightenment will be faster.
Upon arriving at the city gate, Ye Yang immediately spotted the stone tablet:
"Chaotic True Spirit: In the initial state of the universe, the initial universe will naturally give birth to some strange creatures that kill Chaos Beasts. The Chaos Beasts will be corrupted into Chaos Qi and Chaos True Spirits in the shape of emerald green light spots. After carefully examining the stone tablet, Ye Yang began to hunt cosmic-level Chaos Beasts in the inner layer."
On the wasteland, there are weeds and rocks that seem to have never changed since ancient times.
Ye Yang stared at the four-legged monster Chaos Beast in front of him and manipulated the Arc Blade Disc to approach it.
Although the Arc Blade Disc is now severely outdated for Ye Yang, it is completely unable to unleash even one-tenth of his understanding of the laws.
However, he hasn't had time to practice another fifth-tier psychic weapon yet. Psychic weapons have a very low priority for Ye Yang in terms of cultivation.
"town!"
With a deep thought, an illusionary attack extended outwards, swiftly penetrating the head of the chaotic beast.
The Chaos Beast paused, lost all awareness of its surroundings, and its body stiffened.
A golden blade flashed, and the four-legged Chaos Beast was sliced in two diagonally by the curved blade, then quickly dissipated into countless chaotic energies and a large number of emerald green light spots.
Ye Yang swept his mental power across the area and captured all the points of light, then pulled them into his soul core—the primordial core.
"This feeling—." After capturing all the chaotic true spirits, Ye Yang quickly moved away from the crime scene, sensing the changes in himself as he went.
"It works! The human clone can sense time and space more clearly, while the first-generation Golden Horned Beast clone can sense the fluctuations of the fundamental laws of metal more clearly."
Ye Yang smiled.
Unfortunately, the changes in the first clone could not be transmitted to the second clone.
"Can I use the Gate of All Heavens to extract the Chaos True Spirit? Can the Chaos True Spirit also be used in the Immortal Alliance world?"
With this thought in mind, Ye Yang couldn't wait to start looking for a new target.
The previous Chaos Beast died quickly and decisively, without calling for reinforcements, so no large number of Chaos Beasts gathered around.
Soon, Ye Yang found a new target and killed him.
"Extract!" Ye Yang arrived at the chaotic energy flow as quickly as possible and communicated with the projection of the Gate of All Heavens deep within his consciousness.
However, at that moment, the price offered by the Gate of All Heavens startled Ye Yang.
3245 trillion!
"Why is it so high? No, it's this chaotic energy—"
Ye Yang frowned, watching the slowly dissipating corpse of the Chaos Beast. He could only use his mental power to capture all the Chaos True Spirits.
"As soon as the mental power came into contact with the Chaos True Spirit, the Chaos True Spirit began to dissolve and be absorbed, but it did not completely disappear immediately."
Ye Yang arrived at an area free from the interference of chaotic energy. Although a special energy from the primordial universe still permeated the area, the interference was much less than at the place where the chaotic beast had died.
"Try to extract the Chaos True Spirit again—"
"Hmm—it's so sticky, how do I peel it off—oh, the inherited soul imprint! I can give it a try."
Ye Yang had a flash of inspiration and immediately used a portion of his soul power to condense the "Inherited Soul Imprint" from the Soul Imprint Secret Technique. The condensed Inherited Soul Imprint was extremely weak, possibly only enough to convert the entire mental power of a second or third-level apprentice mentalist.
However, it successfully extracted the half-dissolved Chaotic True Spirit.
"extract!"
Ye Yang quickly glanced at the price: 4.52 million Fate Points.
"It's still quite expensive, but—it's within my budget now."
Through the Immortal Alliance world, Ye Yangyuan's second Golden Horn clone in the Cui Lang Starfield obtained the Soul Seal containing the Chaos True Spirit.
Absorb directly!
"The transfer cost 4520 million Destiny Points, but it's enough to allow my second avatar's soul to undergo a transformation!"
As for extracting it into the Immortal Alliance world for use, it is indeed feasible after testing, but the cost of 4 to 5 million each time is still too heavy. At Ye Yang's current rate of earning Destiny Points, he cannot support large-scale extraction.
We can only do it one step at a time.
"There are still 30 years left. When we use these Chaos Beasts to practice our moves, we can just kill some more and extract their true forms for the Immortal Alliance."
"Now, the goal is to elevate the souls of the four avatars that devoured the world!"
The Chaos True Spirit has great benefits, as it can directly improve the compatibility with the laws of the universe, so Ye Yang naturally spared no effort in hunting it down.
Moreover, he gradually used less and less ranged methods to hunt, and instead began to use a sword.
Most cultivators in the Immortal Alliance use flying swords, so Ye Yang had been practicing swordsmanship during his Qi Refining stage, so it wasn't difficult for him to get back into the swing of things.
He began to focus on practicing the sword technique in "Crystal Star" that interprets the essence of space, starting with the sword strike that he understood the most deeply.
