The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

A month later.

Small building, rooftop.

Ba Qi's figure was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, but his eyes slowly opened.

"As expected, without sufficient understanding of the laws of space, it's inevitable that I'll struggle to cultivate this 'Scale Armor Chapter'," he muttered to himself.

For the past month, he has been working hard to comprehend the "Seven Kills of the Beast God" in the virtual universe, but now he has finally encountered an insurmountable bottleneck.

Although his understanding of the fundamental laws of metal is sufficient, the Seven Kills of the Beast God is a path of metal-space fusion, and his spatial laws are still lacking. Of the 108 spatial essences, he has only mastered 87, which is not yet the full requirement.

However, Ba Qi was not in a hurry about this.

He was very clear-headed and rational.

Cultivating the fundamental laws of the primordial universe is never something that can be accomplished overnight. Moreover, he now has a very clear and long-term cultivation strategy, so he is not flustered at all.

"First, comprehend 'Seven Kills of the Beast God' in the virtual universe. Once you encounter difficulties or bottlenecks and your understanding of the laws of space is insufficient, then use the externally manifested fundamental laws of operation in the initial universe void to further comprehend them."

"Finally, let's study the third image on the Nine Universes Chaos Stele!" Ba Qi's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

In terms of comprehending the laws of space, the Chaos Stele undoubtedly has the best effect. Good steel should be used where it is most needed, so it must be saved for last.

Once I finish comprehending the Chaos Stele, many of my previous problems and bottlenecks will definitely be resolved to some extent. After I have gained some insights, it will be most effective to continue comprehending the "Seven Kills of the Beast God".

The next moment, Ba Qi's gaze began to scan the surrounding void, searching for a suitable place for him to comprehend.

Chaos City is located in the initial universe. Because the primordial ancestor was suppressed, the small universes not only stopped evolving, but also began to return to their original state. Therefore, there are spatial cracks in the void that expose the original rules, and the original laws of the universe are different in different places.

"In some places, the power of the laws is abundant, while in others it is relatively thin," Ba Qi thought to himself.

Moreover, in some void rifts, the power of the fundamental law of metal is more concentrated, while in other places, the power of the fundamental law of thunder is more concentrated.

Because the effects of the laws manifesting vary at different void rifts, the effectiveness of a powerful individual's comprehension of the laws differs depending on their location.

To prevent those who come to seek enlightenment from fighting each other over locations in the void rift, Chaos City emphasizes a first-come, first-served principle and strictly prohibits fighting. Once a fight breaks out, regardless of right or wrong, everyone involved will be dealt with together, a very strict approach.

"I need to find a rift where the fundamental laws of space fluctuate more strongly." At this moment, Ba Qi was constantly looking into the distance, searching for a suitable location for himself.

Soon, he set his sights on three places that were relatively close to him.

However, these three positions are undoubtedly already occupied by strong individuals.

Ba Qi even knew that there were others in the shadows watching these positions just like him, ready to take over as soon as the former left.

"It's alright, let's wait a while before we talk about it."

Ba Qi wasn't in a hurry. After all, he had a full epoch of cultivation time in Chaos City, so he could afford to wait. Besides, the people at the three rift locations wouldn't have had a short time to comprehend the laws either, at least in the form of years, so there was no point in rushing.

"I'd rather wait a while longer than try to comprehend the Chaos Stele ahead of time, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced," Ba Qi muttered to himself.

The opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele is extremely precious.

After all, there are only 52 statues in total, and each group of a dozen or so people spends seven days comprehending them.

With so many powerful individuals and geniuses in the human race, at such a speed of comprehension, many people might not even be able to join the ranks even after dozens or hundreds of eras.

"Once these ten free opportunities are used up, if you want to get another chance to comprehend the Chaos Stele, you either have to break through the Heavenly Bridge or break through the Heavenly Mountain."

Ba Qi didn't know that only by passing through one level of the Heavenly Bridge could he have another chance to comprehend the Chaos Stele.

As for conquering Tongtian Mountain, he is not confident that he can conquer the original Tongtian Mountain.

Therefore, he was very clear that to comprehend the Chaos Stele, he had to accumulate enough understanding of the laws before finally attempting to comprehend it, in order to maximize the effect.

"Well, I've never been to see the Tongtian Bridge before, so I'll go and see it for myself."

The next moment, Ba Qi remained still, but his mind instantly entered the virtual universe and headed to the Tongtian Bridge plane.

. . . . . .

The virtual universe, the Skybridge dimension.

This is a special space, surrounded by an endless ocean with its waves crashing.

There is a unique island in the ocean.

There are 52 ports along the edge of the island, each with an endless bridge extending towards the horizon, as if connecting to the distant sky. These 52 bridges completely cover the entire ocean.

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.

Ba Qi's figure suddenly appeared in the square in the center of the island.

"Is this the Tongtian Bridge dimension?" As soon as Ba Qi appeared, he immediately looked around with great curiosity.

He glanced at the 52 ports and knew that each port corresponded to a Chaos Stele, and each port was the entrance to a bridge to heaven.

As you can see, there are quite a few figures around the square where you are, all of whom are obviously here to try and cross the sky bridge.

"A newcomer?"

In the distance, a figure approached, dressed in a black star-patterned robe. He was a human man with four ears but no nose, a very peculiar appearance.

Ba Qi noticed him at a glance and knew that this person was the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge dimension, named Baffin.

"First time in the Skybridge Plane, huh?" Baffin walked up to Baqi with a smile, but his expression quickly changed. "Hmm? Realm Lord?"

Is this the first time a World Lord-level being has come to the Tongtian Bridge Plane?

"Greetings, Lord Baffin, the Guardian," Baqi said with a smile.

"You know me?" The guard, Baffin, was increasingly surprised.

Ba Qi nodded.

The other person looked him up and down, then fell into deep thought, his eyes gradually becoming somewhat empty.

Soon, the guardian Baffin returned to normal, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes as he looked at Baqi.

"Your name is Ba Qi?"

Ba Qi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Good lad, you've got quite a background!" The guard, Baffin, clicked his tongue and looked Baqi up and down.

Ba Qi also realized instantly that the guard, Bafen, seemed to have already learned his identity information.

Sure enough, the other party spoke again the next moment, with some emotion, "It's been a very, very long time since I've seen anyone from that place, little guy, it's really amazing that you were able to be guided out."

"You flatter me, Lord Guardian," Ba Qi said with a smile.

He wasn't too surprised that the guard, Baffin, was able to obtain his information in such a short time.

After all, the other party is the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge dimension.
