Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 199 The Bridge to Heaven

Virtual Universe, Manor No. 114, Yuxiangshan Primitive Area.

Yang Wu appeared directly in the manor.

"Your Highness!"

Those around Yang Wu who saw him quickly bowed in greeting.

"Hmm." Yang Wu nodded slightly, and at the same time commanded in his mind, "Red Flame, request entry into the Sky Bridge!"

"Yes, Master!" The auxiliary AI "Crimson Flame" on Yang Wu's shoulder immediately sent a request to the virtual universe system.

Soon, a deep voice echoed in Yang Wu's mind.

"Identity confirmed, Yang Wu. You have permanently gained access to the Tongtian Bridge."

"I hope you can work hard and one day reach the end of the Bridge to Heaven. Teleport now!"

brush!

Yang Wu's figure disappeared directly from the manor.

……

Virtual universe, a special dimensional space.

This dimensional space is an endless ocean, with endless waves crashing endlessly.

In the middle of this ocean lies an extremely beautiful island.

The island's edge has 52 ports, each with an endless bridge extending to the horizon, shrouded in mist that blankets the entire ocean.

After disappearing from his own manor, Yang Wu appeared directly in the central square of this beautiful island.

"Look, it's Yang Wu!"

"Yang Wu is here!"

"In this year's Genius Battle, only Bolan passed the second level, while Rong Jun and Luo Feng passed the first level. Although some others didn't participate, of the geniuses initially identified as being in the top twenty by the Virtual Universe System, only Yang Wu remains!"

"Yeah, I wonder how many floors he can get to?"

"I think it's at least the second level, after all, Bolan passed the second level, and Yang Wu defeated Bolan!"

……

The group of geniuses who were still in the square started discussing when they saw Yang Wu appear.

Yang Wu looked around and found that most of the remaining geniuses were ranked after 100th, with only a few ranked within the top 100, and none of the top 20 geniuses.

The only one who had just come out of the Tongtian Bridge, Jiang Mo, merely nodded slightly to Yang Wu before disappearing.

"He's really working hard!" Yang Wu couldn't help but think to himself.

What makes geniuses geniuses is not only their innate talent, but also their greater effort compared to others!

The higher a genius ranks, the less likely they are to waste their time watching others conquer the Heavenly Bridge. For them, all they need to do is know the final result and then use that difference as motivation for their own cultivation.

After Yang Wu appeared, a man wearing a black star-patterned robe walked over from a distance. This man had four ears but no nose, and his face was full of smiles.

"Hello, Yang Wu, I am Baffin, the guardian of this Sky Bridge dimension. You can call me the guardian directly."

"Your Excellency the Guardian," Yang Wu greeted respectfully.

"Haha, I've heard that two outstanding talents emerged in this year's Genius Battle, and Yang Wu, you even won first place! I'm so glad to finally meet you today!"

The guard, Baffin, smiled and looked at Yang Wu, saying, "Let me introduce you."

"This Sky Bridge plane was created specifically for the 52 Chaos Steles within Chaos City. The further you venture, the stronger you become. Each time you successfully clear a new level, you gain an opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele."

"Yang Wu, you are studying the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, so you need to challenge the 'Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.' This 'Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge' is incredibly long, with as many as 27 levels. I hope that one day you will be able to break through to the depths of this Heavenly Bridge!"

Yang Wu probably understands the difficulty of the Tongtian Bridge better than any other genius.

These 52 Chaos Steles vary in their level of profundity. Some have only 21 floors, some have 24 floors, some have 27 floors, and the highest is the "Giant Axe Chaos Stele," which has a corresponding bridge with as many as 32 floors!

The different levels of this bridge to heaven represent the different degrees of understanding of the laws.

Generally speaking, after mastering a lower-level law and achieving immortality, one should be able to pass through the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

If one can pass the 15th level, it means that the challenger has the understanding of the laws that only a Marquis-level immortal can possess, which is the current level of Yang Wu's teacher, Jin Guanghou.

If you can pass the 18th level, you will gain the recognition of the five major alliances and become a permanent resident of the Chaos City in the initial universe.

Currently, the only 'Sect Masters' in Chaos City qualified to establish their own sects are those who have at least passed the 18th level of the King-level Immortal realm.

Of course, generally speaking, those who can truly establish their own sects are the most outstanding figures among the immortals, most of whom have already passed through the 20 levels of the Heavenly Bridge.

The 21st level of the Sky Bridge is the most difficult hurdle. Once you pass the 21st level, you can become a super strong person ranked among the top in the universe, a great being at the Venerable level.

Therefore, the 21st floor of this sky bridge is the most difficult. It seems to be only one step away from the 20th floor, but its difficulty is greater than the sum of the first to the 20th floors!

The guardian, Baffin, smiled and said, "There's no one on the Nine Heavens Bridge now, you can go and try it!"

Yang Wu bowed slightly, then transformed into a streak of light and flew directly towards the Nine Heavens Bridge.

……

As Yang Wu began to break through the overpass, the guardian, Baffin, started sending out mass emails.

"They're hailed as unparalleled geniuses, appearing only once every tens of thousands of epochs. Yang Wu and Bolan certainly receive a lot of attention!"

The guardian, Baffin, sighed, "It's a pity that Bolan chose the wrong path; many powerful figures lamented his fate. Yang Wu, however, is different. He chose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, which is extremely suitable for him. This time, he might even be able to reach the fourth or fifth level!"

Instantly, dozens of emails were sent out.

……

The first to receive the email was the Nine Swords Venerable, who was staying at his friend's residence in Chaos City.

As early as when Yang Wu had just chosen the Nine Universe Chaos Stele, the Nine Swords Venerable had already notified Baffin, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge, and Baffin naturally sent the email immediately.

"Oh, so this little guy is starting to try and conquer the skybridge?"

Upon receiving the email, the Nine Swords Venerable's heart stirred, and a huge screen immediately appeared in mid-air in front of him, showing the scene inside the Nine Universe Sky Bridge.

"Nine Swords!" The three-eyed old man sitting beside him said with a smile, "You're indeed lucky. I've already seen this young fellow. To have cultivated to this level at such a young age, his talent and comprehension are truly remarkable!"

"Haha, let's see just how far he can go!" Nine Swords Venerable said with a laugh.

"If you don't like it, you might as well give it to me!" the three-eyed old man said with a smile.

"Kandri, how long has it been since you took on a disciple? If you really want to take on a disciple, why not give him to you?" the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile.

He didn't pay much attention to what the three-eyed old man said.

The other party was just joking. Although a peerless genius like Yang Wu is rare, they have seen quite a few over the years. He is not worth their esteemed status to rush to take him as a disciple.

In fact, if Yang Wu had not already comprehended the essence of the fundamental laws of space, the Nine Swords Venerable probably would not have accepted him as a disciple so easily.

……

Inside one of the nine-story towers in Chaos City.

In this chaotic city, most residences are identical, while these special buildings represent an extremely high status.

On the seventh floor of this nine-story tower.

A woman dressed in a black veil sat cross-legged on the ground. She had a human body and a snake tail, and her eyes were as bright as stars.

"You've come!" A hoarse voice came from the snake-tailed woman.

"Ha ha!"

A burly ape-man, clad in golden armor and with golden fur on his face, suddenly appeared out of thin air. He laughed and said, "Wu Ni, I heard that the top-ranked genius in this year's Genius Battle chose our lineage's Nine Universe Chaos Stele. This little guy is currently attempting to cross the Heavenly Bridge. Let's go, let's go see him!"

"Even if he's a genius, he belongs to your Virtual Universe Company. Do you think he can become a disciple of my Giant Axe Arena?" the snake-tailed woman said calmly. "However, I've heard that little fellow is indeed quite talented, having already grasped the essence of the fundamental laws of space. Let's go see him together this time!"

……

In a mansion on Thunder Island in the virtual universe.

Longyu Wang's expression shifted, and he gently opened the email in the void.

"Is that little brat Yang Wu going to attempt the Heavenly Bridge?" Longyu King thought to himself. "This time he chose the Nine Heavens Heavenly Bridge. As long as his performance during the challenge isn't too bad, the Venerable One should appear to take him as a disciple!"

"I wonder which level he'll be able to pass this time? Judging from his understanding of the laws during the Genius Battle, he should have a chance to pass the fifth level!"

Immediately afterwards, King Longyu smiled and disappeared from the mansion, heading towards the Tongtian Bridge plane.

……

After receiving Baffin's email, dozens of immortal gods, including Zhenyan King, Black Mist King, Longyu King, Flame Dragon King, Giant Elephant Marquis, and more than ten other king-level immortals, gathered on the Tongtian Bridge.

"Haha, so many people!" King Yanlong laughed as he looked around, but when he saw King Longyu, he suddenly froze.

"King Longyu, does the Nine Swords Venerable intend to take this little fellow as his disciple?" King Yanlong asked softly.

As soon as he said this, the surroundings fell silent.

The other geniuses who were still present didn't dare to utter a sound.

The Nine Swords Venerable is a great being comparable to the ruler of a universe, yet he wants to take Yang Wu as his disciple?

As the most powerful Immortal King under the Nine Swords Venerable, Longyu Wang naturally knew why the Nine Swords Venerable remained in Chaos City. Therefore, she didn't intend to conceal the information and directly stated, "The Venerable does indeed have this idea, but we'll have to see how this little fellow performs when he crosses the Heavenly Bridge!"

"Sigh!" Upon hearing this, the Flame Dragon King sighed inwardly.

He came here with the intention of taking on disciples. It can be said that most of the immortals who come to this Tongtian Bridge plane have the idea of ​​becoming Yang Wu's teacher.

The Flame Dragon King didn't take ordinary Marquis-level Immortals seriously at all, and he was even confident that he could defeat the True Origin King, who was more powerful than him, this time.

Because, within this Chaos City, of the four 'Sect Masters' of the Nine Universes lineage of the Virtual Universe Company, only he and Yang Wu cultivated the most similar laws: 'Fire' and 'Space'. While the others' understanding of the laws of space was no weaker than his, their understanding of the laws of fire was inferior to his.

But the Nine Swords Venerable is different!

That is a great being who has mastered the complete rules of space. As long as the Nine Swords Venerable is willing to take on a disciple, the Flame Dragon King will definitely not be able to compete with him!

"Everyone!" The calmest among them was the Black Mist Queen with a human body and a snake tail. Because she belonged to the Giant Axe Arena lineage, she could not possibly accept Yang Wu as her disciple. At this moment, she smiled and said, "What level do you think this little fellow can reach?"

"At least the fourth level! I watched his battle videos from the Genius Battle; his mastery of the laws of space is extremely profound. He'll definitely be able to pass the fourth level!"

"I think he might be able to reach the fifth level! Although comprehending the essence of spatial laws is extremely difficult, now that he's already grasped the basics, he'll progress faster. Several years have passed since the Genius Battle, and considering he just studied the Chaos Stele once, this little guy might have already completely understood the first diagram!"

"Hmm, judging from Yang Wu's talent, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to fully comprehend the first image after viewing the Chaos Stele for the first time!"

……

The conversation of these immortal beings was not kept secret from others, so all the geniuses remaining in the square heard it.

Then, all of them looked on incredulously.

It should be noted that Bolan had only passed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge before, while Yang Wu, whose skill level was not much different from Bolan's, was able to pass the fourth level and even the fifth level.

This is absolutely incredible!

Little did they know that the reason Berlan only made it past the second level was because his time law held him back.

Thank you to reader "Burnt Corn" for the 100-point reward.
