High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

A sharp light flashed in Su Jie's eyes. Without further hesitation, he calmed his mind completely and unleashed his level 28 soul power into the visualization diagram in an unprecedentedly concentrated state!

"BOOM—!!"

It was that familiar, terrifying impact, as if the will of the entire universe was crushing down upon us!

The endless Daoist principles, the overwhelming will, and the complex and incomprehensible rules and information, like a destructive torrent, instantly engulfed his consciousness.

The pain remained intense, as if the soul had been thrown into an eternal furnace to be forged.

but!

The differences become immediately apparent:

The soul power at the beginning of level 28, in terms of both quantity and quality, is more than ten thousand times greater than before.

The spacetime power integrated into the origin of life formed an exceptionally tough "spacetime membrane" around his soul, which to some extent "smoothed out" some of the most violent rule impacts, making the influx of information relatively "orderly".

This subtle difference, in such a high-level confrontation, has an effect magnified countless times!

The 500% increase in comprehension brought by the Orange Martial Arts Heart allowed him to maintain a sliver of clarity even as his soul was being crushed, enabling him to actively capture and comprehend the subtle fragments of laws concerning the essence of "suppression," "power," and "existence" contained within the torrent!

Five seconds! Ten seconds! Fifteen seconds!

Time passed slowly, and Su Jie remained focused, veins bulging on his forehead, his body trembling slightly, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter! He held on for far longer than ever before!

At the limit of nearly twenty seconds, he felt as if his soul was about to be assimilated and completely disintegrated by the meaning of that "hair," but he also clearly captured a more core essence.

That wasn't a specific technique or move, but rather a kind of introduction about how to resonate one's own will and power with the rules of heaven and earth, thereby drawing upon a greater power to empower one!

"Retreat now!"

At the critical point when his soul was about to give out, Su Jie, relying on his strong will, suddenly severed the connection with the visualization diagram!

"puff--"

He swayed, spitting out a small mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale, a profound sense of weakness washing over him. But instead of weariness, his eyes shone with an excited light!

Immediately activate the "Nourishing Spirit Technique" to nourish your soul.

After a moment, the weakness subsided, and Su Jie carefully savored the gains he had made in those twenty seconds.

"I see... Visualizing this image is not only for tempering soul power, but also for comprehending the 'momentum' that triggers the rules and empowers oneself!"

If I could grasp that fleeting sense of power just now, my combat strength would likely increase dramatically, giving me another powerful trump card!

He felt that his control over his own power and his understanding of the rules had improved to a new level. His soul power, under the extreme pressure just now, had also become more condensed.

"This first volume of the 'Myriad Gods and Demons Suppressing Prison Diagram' is indeed a supreme treasure! At my current pace, as long as I persevere, I might be able to truly grasp even a sliver of its true meaning!"

Su Jie clearly felt that an invisible barrier had been broken between him and the "Myriad Gods and Demons Suppressing Prison Map," and an unprecedented opportunity for enlightenment was right in front of him.

He made a decision—to stay within this stone hall, detach himself from worldly affairs, and devote himself entirely to comprehending this supreme visualization diagram.

He had a premonition that if he could truly master the basics, his skills would definitely reach a new level!

Time flies, and the years pass unnoticed within the stone hall.

Su Jie was completely immersed in the profound meaning contained in that "hair".

With the help of the Time-Space Dao Eye, he gained an extraordinary perception of the fluctuations of rules, as well as the terrifying comprehension boost from the Orange Martial Arts Heart.

He no longer passively endured the impact as before, but actively tried to "analyze" and "understand" the fragments of laws contained in that mighty will.

His consciousness seemed to transform into a tiny probe, struggling yet steadfastly navigating the destructive torrent of information, capturing the essential meanings of "suppression," "power," "binding," and "existence."

One day, two days... ten days...

Under continuous high-pressure tempering and feedback from his understanding, his soul power steadily improved, progressing step by step from the early stage of level twenty-eight to the middle and late stages...

His understanding of that "hair" deepened. It was no longer just an incomprehensible and terrifying image.

Its outline, its curved arc, and every ripple it emitted gradually corresponded to some kind of universal principle in Su Jie's perception.

He seemed to see that with a gentle press of this "hair," a world would be born or destroyed; with a slight tremor, time and space would be reversed.

A nascent concept called "the true meaning of all things" began to sprout and coalesce in his heart.

This is a kind of "momentum" that transcends mere force; it is the key to invoking rules and mastering all laws!

A month later.

Su Jie, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes!

"Buzz—!"

The entire stone hall trembled! He did not exude a powerful aura, but an invisible "force" that seemed capable of suppressing all heavens and stabilizing the universe naturally flowed out.

As the eyes open and close, the left eye seems to contain layers of space, while the right eye seems to contain a flowing river of time. Deep within the eyes, there is a chaotic, all-encompassing meaning at its core, unifying the power of time and space!

Success! In just one month, with the incredible assistance of the Time-Space Dao Eye and the Orange Martial Heart, he managed to decipher the first volume of the Supreme Visualization Diagram of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Sect at the age of less than eighteen!

Just as he achieved his goal—

A sudden change has occurred!

Inside the stone hall, the "Myriad Gods and Demons Suppressing Prison Map" suddenly burst forth with unprecedented light, and all the ancient runes on the walls came to life, flowing endlessly!

The entire stone hall, no, the entire Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace, emitted a deep and grand hum!

An indescribable, vast, and immeasurable will, as if dormant for countless epochs, suddenly awakened at this moment, traversing endless time and space, and crashing down upon this place!

Under the weight of this will, Su Jie felt as insignificant as dust, but the "True Meaning of All Things" that he had just comprehended spontaneously activated, protecting his mind and allowing him to barely maintain his ability to think under this terrifying pressure, and look up at the source of the will's descent.

A grand voice, indistinguishable in gender and seemingly woven from countless rules, resounded directly in the depths of his soul, carrying an undisguised astonishment and scrutiny:

"Under eighteen...having deciphered the first volume of the 'Prison Suppression Diagram'...and awakened a trace of the original true meaning..."
