Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

Chapter 89 The Threshold of the Fundamental Law of Water, Xiaoyu [First Update]

The stone door slowly closed behind us, isolating us from the outside world.

Before Luo Yun was an incredibly spacious and enormous secret chamber.

The secret room was filled with a thick gray current of energy. This chaotic energy flowed gently, and just one breath made him feel that his consciousness had become clearer.

In the very center of the secret chamber, a massive stone monument, hundreds of meters tall, stands silently.

This is the real "Nine Universes Chaos Stele".

A mix of anticipation and nervousness welled up in Luo Yun's heart.

The other geniuses behind him also came in one after another.

Among them, a young man from the merfolk race demonstrated the most skill.

Without the slightest observation or hesitation, as soon as he entered the secret chamber, he quickly sat cross-legged on a futon a hundred meters away from the Chaos Stele, closed his eyes, and immediately entered a state of enlightenment.

His movements were swift and decisive, without wasting even a second.

Seeing this, Luo Yun and the other newcomers were all taken aback.

They instantly realized just how precious this opportunity was.

Luo Yun didn't delay any longer and stepped forward as well.

He stood before the Chaos Monument, observing it carefully.

This is the real Chaos Monument, and the image on it is exactly the same as the rubbing on the outside wall.

However, the two give people completely different feelings.

The rubbing is just a painting, but the Chaos Stele in front of us seems like a real and vast universe.

The ancient atmosphere and boundless Taoist charm emanating from it were like an invisible tide, crashing against his soul wave after wave.

Simply standing here is hundreds or thousands of times more effective than viewing the rubbings.

Luo Yun took a deep breath, sat down on a futon, and officially began his meditation.

He turned his gaze to the first image on the Chaos Stele.

The first picture is very simple; it shows nine raindrops.

Luo Yun's consciousness was immersed in it.

Thanks to his talent of "Extensive Knowledge and Excellent Memory," every detail of the nine raindrops on the stone tablet was imprinted in his mind with unparalleled clarity, without the slightest error.

Although this talent provides very little direct help in comprehending the laws, it ensures that the information Luo Yun receives is 100% accurate.

Immediately afterwards, the two great talents, [Spatial Law] and [Slightly Increased Comprehension], began to exert their power simultaneously.

hum!

In Luo Yun's mind, it was as if countless flashes of inspiration exploded.

Those nine raindrops were instantly broken down and analyzed in his consciousness.

The trajectory of each falling raindrop, and the fluctuations it contains, represent the profound mystery of a spatial law.

With the enhancement of a hundredfold understanding, these profound mysteries that seem incredibly deep to ordinary people become crystal clear in Luo Yun's eyes.

Luo Yun's consciousness was completely immersed in those nine drops of rain.

In his mind, the nine raindrops were no longer static patterns. They seemed to come alive, each drop representing a unique trajectory, a mysterious fluctuation.

Some raindrops fall silently, as if they simply blend into the space.

Some raindrops, however, have unpredictable trajectories, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, as if jumping between different spatial dimensions.

Some raindrops, carrying a lingering sentiment, flowed like water, endlessly.

These nine raindrops each contain the mysteries of space and water.

Luo Yun's understanding of the fundamental laws of water has remained at the peak of the ninth level of the domain, yet he has been unable to take the final step. What he lacks is an opportunity, a higher-level guidance.

Now, this guidance is here.

boom!

With the combined boost of his two great talents, [Spatial Law] and [Slightly Increased Comprehension], Luo Yun's thinking speed reached an unbelievable level.

All his insights into the fundamental laws of water began to collide and merge wildly with the Daoist principles contained in the nine drops of rain before him.

It was as if a layer of paper had been pierced through.

His long-stagnant understanding of the fundamental laws of water surged forth like a flood finding its outlet.

That bottleneck was thus broken through.

Things will fall into place naturally.

The fundamental law of water has officially crossed the threshold!

【Ding! 】

[Threshold for the fundamental law of water: Achievement Points +1000]

Current Achievement Points: 3117

Luo Yun suddenly opened his eyes, a look of shock and joy flashing in them.

He could clearly feel an unprecedented affinity between his soul and the water element in the surrounding world. It was as if he could mobilize endless water elemental power with just a thought.

He wasted no time and looked at the Chaos Stele again.

This time, he saw something completely different.

If before he was forcibly analyzing these nine raindrops...

So now, he truly understands them.

Nine drops of rain are no longer independent.

There is a perfect connection between them.

Nine different spatial trajectories and nine different water elemental realms together form a more complex and powerful whole.

He thought of his divine weapon, "Tears of the Galaxy".

Previously, he had used the first move, "Star River Sword," with great difficulty.

It is because the fundamental laws of water are insufficient that the power of space and water cannot be perfectly integrated.

He simply used his powerful mental strength to forcefully combine them together.

That's not a true fusion, it's just a crude patchwork.

"So that's how it is—"

The light in Luo Yun's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He began to reconstruct the "Star River Sword" in his mind.

He no longer pursued the fixed sword shape, but instead incorporated the trajectory and artistic conception of the nine raindrops into the operation of the one hundred and eight Star Tear Blades.

A completely new technique slowly took shape in his mind.

It is still the first form of "Tears of the Galaxy", but it is no longer the rigid "Galaxy Sword" of the past.

It is a variant.

A more powerful and mysterious variant.

A brand new divine sword took shape in his mind.

This sword is still in the form of a sword, but it is more restrained and more agile.

The sword blade seemed to be made of real starlight and flowing water, and there was no longer any instability.

One hundred and eight Star Tear Blades operate simultaneously in nine different mysterious trajectories, overlapping and amplifying each other.

Its core is no longer about forced aggregation, but about "circulation".

If the previous "Star River Sword" was a piece of ice that had been forcibly frozen, it was hard but had lost its agility.

So this move is like a surging, never-ending river.

It possesses both the gentleness and continuity of water, and the sharpness and strangeness of spatial cutting.

Its power is more than ten times stronger than before!

Having grasped the essence of the first picture, Luo Yun didn't pause for a moment and immediately focused his attention on the second picture.

The second picture shows thirty-six raindrops.

The trajectory and imagery of these thirty-six raindrops were more than ten times more complex than those of the previous nine. They intertwined, forming a more intricate and perfect cycle.

However, time slips away unnoticed.

Seven days is but a fleeting moment for geniuses immersed in the ocean of laws.

Just as Luo Yun was beginning to understand the second picture, a gentle yet irresistible force slowly pulled everyone's consciousness out of the Chaos Stele.

Seven days have passed.

All the geniuses in the secret room slowly opened their eyes.

Everyone's eyes were filled with a deep sense of lingering affection and reluctance to part.

The feeling of being in close contact with the fundamental laws of the universe was simply wonderful.

Luo Yun also opened his eyes. He glanced at the Nine Universe Chaos Stele, which still stood in the center of the secret chamber, exuding endless Dao charm, and a deep sense of regret flashed through his heart.

Pity.

This realization allowed him to cross the threshold of the fundamental law of water, and even created the move "Flow of the Galaxy".

Given more time, he was confident that he could begin to truly comprehend the second image, "Thirty-Six Drops of Rain." Once he understood it, his strength would surely surge once again.

The group reluctantly walked out of the stone gate.

Outside the door, the white-haired and bearded guardian, Kandri, was smiling as he watched them.

Seeing the identical expressions of regret on the faces of these little ones, a knowing smile appeared in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Everyone thinks seven days is too short?" Candri asked kindly.

Everyone nodded, their faces filled with longing.

"The rules of Chaos City dictate that newcomers only have one free opportunity to comprehend the teachings; this is an ironclad rule," Kander said slowly, causing the hearts of the geniuses who had just begun to glimmer with hope to sink once more.

However, he changed the subject and said with a smile, "But, besides the rules, there are also ways to gain opportunities through ability."

Everyone's ears perked up instantly.

"You will all be able to enter the virtual universe network in a moment." Kandri looked at everyone, a hint of encouragement in his eyes. "In the virtual universe, there is a bridge to heaven. That is a place specifically used to test your level of understanding of the laws."

"Each time you pass through a level of the Heavenly Bridge, you will gain an additional opportunity for enlightenment. The more levels you pass, the more opportunities you will receive!"

Upon hearing this, the entire team erupted in chaos!

A burning fighting spirit and hope were rekindled in everyone's eyes.

There was still a chance!

Moreover, it is through one's own strength that one strives for it!

This was undoubtedly the best news for all the geniuses present.

"Go back to your dwellings and prepare yourselves well." Kander waved his hand. "The Skybridge is always open to you."

Unable to contain themselves any longer, the crowd bowed respectfully to Kander and then transformed into streaks of light, quickly returning to their residences.

Luo Yun also returned to his small building with dark gray doors.

As soon as you step inside, a soft electronic voice begins to play.

"Welcome back, Master. I am your smart butler. Please name me and set my appearance."

After a moment's thought, Luo Yun said directly, "The name will be Xiaoyu, and the image will be that of a classical jade maiden."

"Setup complete".

As soon as he finished speaking, the light in front of him converged slightly, and the image of a classical woman wearing a light blue dress, with long hair reaching her waist, an exquisitely beautiful face, and an aura like a fairy in a painting took shape.

She bowed gracefully to Luo Yunying: "Xiaoyu greets her master."
