Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 102 A Decade of Enlightenment, Conquering the Heavenly Bridge

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed quietly.

An aged voice rang out in the cultivation chamber where the Cosmic Chaos Monument stood.

"Everyone come out!"

The voice kept echoing in everyone's minds, instantly waking them all up.

"It's a pity that seven days have passed so quickly."

Ye Xingkong sighed, took one last reluctant look at the Cosmic Chaos Monument, which was a hundred meters high and nearly a hundred meters wide, and finally transformed into a stream of light and left the cultivation chamber filled with chaotic energy.

"The first time you comprehend the Cosmic Chaos Stele, it's completely free, but you won't get such a good deal after that."

“Every opportunity to comprehend the Cosmic Chaos Monument is extremely precious.”

A moment later, Ye Xingkong returned to his mansion and palace, sat cross-legged on a futon, and looked deep in thought.

"The Cosmic Chaos Monument follows the path of cultivating both the two superior laws of time and space."

"If one can directly comprehend these two laws, one can directly reach the supreme realm of the Lord of the Universe. Of course, this also means that following the 'Universe' school of thought will be extremely difficult."

"Therefore, the foundation is very important. The taller the building, the more solid the foundation needs to be."

Ye Xingkong glanced at his proficiency panel.

[Time Rule: 100/100000]

[Space Law: 14000/100000]

The seven days spent studying the Chaos Monument of the Universe yielded extremely rich rewards.

Not only have the laws of space made significant progress, but they have also crossed the threshold of the laws of time.

Of course, these seven days of contemplation only brought many vague "inspirations" to Ye Xingkong's mind.

These inspirations need time to be digested before they can gradually transform into one's own understanding of the laws governing them.

The time available to comprehend the Chaos Monument of the Universe is extremely limited, and every minute and second is precious.

Ye Xingkong just tried his best to memorize the contents of the Chaos Stele, not daring to delve into any particular question in detail.

After all, with his current understanding of the laws, if he were to delve into a particular problem carefully, not to mention seven days, even seven years would be just a blink of an eye.

"The Cosmic Chaos Monument is too profound."

"It is different from the 'Secret Codex of the Qianwu,' which, although it also describes the complete laws of space, still requires one to slowly comprehend and understand them."

"But comprehending the Chaos Monument of the Universe guides you to understand the laws, just like teaching a child to write."

A look of infatuation flashed across Ye Xingkong's face, and he unknowingly became engrossed in cultivation.

······
The ratio of the time flow rate of the initial universe to that of the primordial universe is 1:3.28.

In other words, the past thirty years in the initial universe are equivalent to the past hundred years in the primordial universe.

On the Qiongyu Star.

Ye Xingkong himself entered seclusion for cultivation once again.

Because of the relationship between the clone and the original, the original could perceive exactly what the Five Elements clone saw and heard in Chaos City.

As for the difference in perception caused by different time flow rates, Ye Xingkong, the Lord of the Universe, can completely ignore it with his will.

The two clones each had their own tasks. The Five Elements clone devoted itself to comprehending the laws of space, while the main body opened the long-hidden "Notes of Time" and began to comprehend the 108 essences of the laws of time.

To achieve great things, one must first lay a solid foundation.

Therefore, just like with cultivating the laws of space, Ye Xingkong also planned to first comprehend the 108 essential aspects of the laws of time before beginning to cultivate them.

······
Time is long.

Three years in Chaos City and ten years in the Primordial Universe passed quietly.

In the Yuanliu Palace.

Ye Xingkong named the palace he built for himself in Chaos City "Yuanliu Palace".

The palace is 1,000 kilometers long, wide, and high, covering an extremely large area.

Although it is called a palace, the interior of Yuanliu Palace is not a pavilion or tower, but a winding mountain range, an endless gray forest, and a beautiful natural landscape.

Along the shore of the vast lake, a few wisps of chaotic air currents drifted across its surface.

On a small boat drifting aimlessly, Ye Xingkong slowly opened his eyes.

"After three years, I have finally fully digested what I have learned from comprehending the Chaos Monument of the Universe."

Ye Xingkong let out a long breath, a look of joy flashing in his eyes.

[Time Capsule: Twelfth Floor (52/100)]

[Space Law: 15000/100000]

"I never imagined that a single period of seclusion would last for three years."

Ye Xingkong was quite moved.

It only took seven days to comprehend the Chaos Monument of the Universe, but it took a full three years to digest what was gained in those seven days.

Of course, this is because it is Ye Xingkong's first time comprehending the Chaos Stele.

The first time I tried to comprehend it was the most rewarding; subsequent attempts might not yield the same results.

"I have already comprehended two-tenths of the laws governing space."

"Yes, when the proficiency in the laws of space reaches 30000, the understanding of the laws can reach the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, which is the King level."

"As for now, it's about the sixteenth or seventeenth floor of the Sky Bridge."

A look of understanding flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes.

To have made this much progress in just three years is quite remarkable.

The spatial laws are progressing rapidly, and the progress in the temporal laws is also quite remarkable.

During his three years in Chaos City, which is equivalent to ten years in the initial universe, he comprehended the first twelve mysteries of the laws of time.

It took Ye Xingkong approximately four hundred years to comprehend the 108 mysteries of the laws of space.

As for comprehending the laws of time now
It should be noted that the Five Elements Avatar has a hundredfold compatibility with the six major laws of space, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, making cultivation naturally much easier.

However, in terms of the laws of time, they are no different from ordinary life forms.

Fortunately, with the ten thousand times efficiency of the golden miniature universe's core of origin, plus the ten times the comprehension efficiency of the initial universe, the combination of the two is not too slow.

"Now that the second level of the Primordial Body Refinement Technique is about to be completed, it's time to choose which clone to refine."

Ye Xingkong looked thoughtful.

He had actually been preparing for his third clone all along, starting by collecting the remains and genes of various life forms when he first entered the Qianwu Secret Realm and was only at the cosmic level.

Now that Ye Xingkong has joined the Virtual Universe Company and holds a high position, collecting the genes of ordinary life forms is not difficult for him.

Of course, the "ordinary" life forms referred to here are not truly ordinary, but rather rare races such as the Golden Horned Beast, the Demon Royal Family, the Insect Queen, and the Demon Slayer Clan.

Although these races are few in number in the universe, they are still life forms capable of reproduction, and are not unique special life forms found nowhere else in the universe.

Special life forms, at the very least, have a life gene level that is more than ten times higher, and some even have a life gene level that is thousands of times higher.

Ye Xingkong could barely manage to acquire some special life forms with certain weaknesses.

After all, he only needs to collect some fur and blood, not a complete body.

However, powerful and special life forms like the World Tree and Mount Li are beyond Ye Xingkong's level of access.

"If we can't get our hands on it, so be it!" "The unique thing about the *Primordial Chaos Body Refining Technique* is precisely its infinite possibilities, isn't it?"

"Back then, I used only the genes of a few ordinary life forms to create such a heaven-defying five-element clone. Of course, it was all just good luck back then."

"But now that I possess such a vast gene pool of life, including the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts, and even the genes of some special life forms, can't I refine a suitable clone?"

Ye Xingkong wasn't particularly anxious.

Anyway, his path is now clear and open. He can cultivate all the way to become the Lord of the Universe without any external pressure. At worst, he can spend hundreds of millions of years comprehending the laws and analyzing the genes of life.

"Given my current situation, my third clone should ideally possess talents in the four laws of time, lightning, light, and wind."

"As for the level of life genes, there's no need to force it, since we have the 'Primordial Body Refining Method' to improve it anyway."

"Besides that, well, if possible, for my third clone, I'd like it to be a person."

Although the Five Elements Avatar can use "Transformation Technique" to transform into any kind of life form in the universe, the uniqueness of this innate secret technique is such that even the Lord of the Universe may not be able to detect the disguise.

However, in the final analysis, the Five Elements Avatars are not human beings, but a kind of spiritual life form.

[Hongmeng Body Refining Technique: 92/100 (First Level)]

Ye Xingkong glanced at the proficiency panel.

Well, the second level of the Primordial Body Refining Technique is probably just a matter of a few years away.

······
"Right now, the fastest way for me to improve my understanding of the laws is to study the Chaos Monument of the Universe."

Ye Xingkong's consciousness entered the virtual universe.

Having been in Chaos City for three years, he has yet to cross the Bridge to Heaven; now it's time for him to do so.

Virtual universe, the exclusive dimension of the Sky Bridge.

This is an endless ocean, with its waves crashing.

There is a beautiful island in the ocean, with 52 ports along its edge. Each port has an endless bridge extending from it, stretching towards the horizon as if to connect with the distant sky.

Above the ocean waves, there was a faint mist, making it impossible to see what was in the ocean. The mist clung to the long bridge, making everything seem like a dream.

Ye Xingkong's figure suddenly appeared in the square in the center of the island.

Not far away, a man dressed in a turquoise robe walked over. He had four limbs and arms, and his head was bald. A hint of a smile flashed in his turquoise eyes: "Hello, I am Como, the guardian of the Skybridge plane."

"I want to cross the cosmic bridge."

Ye Xingkong said indifferently.

The Cosmic Sky Bridge has thirty levels, only two fewer than the Giant Axe Sky Bridge. The further you go, the deeper your understanding of the "Cosmic Chaos Monument" becomes.

"There is still one person attempting to cross the Cosmic Bridge. Please wait."

Cuomo wore a smile, but inwardly he was filled with doubt.

He had been the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge plane for millions of epochs, but he had never seen this powerful figure before.

Logically speaking, Como should know any of the slightly influential figures in Chaos City.

Ye Xingkong waited for about half an hour, and then saw a cold and aloof woman dressed in white with a flying sword on her back fly out as a streak of light.

She had a pair of sword-like eyebrows and bright, sparkling eyes. Although she was extremely beautiful, she carried an air of awe that made people afraid to get close to her.

"Congratulations to 'Sword Autumn King' for passing the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven and becoming a peak King-level expert."

Cuomo said with great delight.

Sword Autumn King shook her head, her pretty face frosty, and said indifferently, "The peak of the King-level has never been my goal. I still have a long way to go before I can become a Time Venerable."

Como nodded, then said to Ye Xingkong, "Your Excellency, you may now attempt to cross the Cosmic Bridge."

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly at Komo and Jianqiu Wang, then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards a bridge that stretched to the ends of the earth.

"Huh? Who is he?"

"He's actually a powerful figure from my 'Cosmic' school. Why didn't I know that before?"

As Jianqiu Wang watched Ye Xingkong's departing figure, a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

She did not leave, but waited for Ye Xingkong to cross the Tongtian Bridge.

In this Chaos City, there are very few powerful individuals who follow the "Cosmic" school of thought, so much so that those who follow this school are very united and occasionally exchange their insights.

Seeing a newcomer from the "Cosmic" school, Jianqiu Wang also felt a sense of curiosity.

"I don't know."

"This is the first time I've met such a powerful person."

Cuomo shook his head.

Then, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"They actually started from the first level of the Sky Bridge?"

"This unfamiliar powerful figure has never crossed the Bridge to Heaven before!"

······
Tongtian Bridge stretches to the end of the world, surrounded by mist and mist, and the sea below is surging.

The moment Ye Xingkong stepped into the Cosmic Sky Bridge, he received an email from the Virtual Universe Company regarding the points reward rules.

Passing through the first level of the Sky Bridge rewards you with 100 points.

Passing the second level rewards you with 200 points;

Passing the third level rewards 400 points;

Then it doubled in turn: 800, 1600, 3200...

Points?

"Unfortunately, there's no newcomer bonus like the tenfold points reward for first-time visitors to Chaos City."

Ye Xingkong simply sighed, but he didn't feel much regret.

At his current level, he can already exchange Hunyuan units for points at a rate of 1 Hunyuan = 1 point.

As a weapon refiner, Ye Xingkong's net worth is measured in "hundreds of billions" of mixed yuan, so he really doesn't care about these points.

What truly captivated him was the opportunity to comprehend the Cosmic Chaos Stele after crossing the Tongtian Bridge.

Let's begin!

Ye Xingkong gazed at the sky bridge stretching to the edge of the clouds. He was suddenly covered in a Force battle suit, and a silver battle blade appeared in his hand.

The Five Elements Incarnation is most skilled with a knife!
"The first level of the Sky Bridge is too simple."

Ye Xingkong cut through everything in his path, not even glancing at the guardians of the first ten levels of the Tongtian Bridge, dispatching them all with a single strike.

He chose to follow the "Cosmic Chaos Monument" school of thought, which combines the two laws of space and time, but with different emphases on each.

Ye Xingkong wasn't stupid; given his current situation, focusing on space and supplementing it with time was the most appropriate course of action.

If he chooses to emphasize both the laws of time and space, although it would not be difficult for him to cultivate them with his comprehension, he could still become the master of the universe in the future.

However, given Ye Xingkong's understanding of the laws of time, he is undoubtedly going to be a hindrance now.

"The first thirteen levels of the Sky Bridge are all very simple; they are no match for me at all."

"As for the fourteenth floor, it took a little time, but it wasn't difficult."

Ye Xingkong casually killed the black-clad gatekeeper and then arrived at the fifteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
