Chapter 64 Comprehending the Laws, Sudden Severe Pain
In the blink of an eye, it was April of the 175th meeting, 1013. (A meeting is held every 10800 years.)
At the end of April, Ye Yang, as one of the three contestants from Ziteng University, participated in the University Daoyan Tu League in this star region.
Despite training with Jianwo Zhenren for a month, Ye Yang's performance in the Star Region League, which is full of geniuses, was only average.
This star region has 36 key universities and 1349 ordinary universities. If each school sends 3 participants, there are 4155 contestants. These are not 4155 ordinary cultivators; each of them has stood out from their own school and possesses formidable strength in the Dao Evolution Diagram Competition.
Ye Yang trained intensively for a month and achieved a mid-range ranking, which shows that his talent is not bad. If he could put more effort into the competition, his ranking might be even better.
However, this was impossible; he was different from the other students.
Ye Yang's instance itself is the greatest opportunity! So although the rewards from the competition are very tempting, they still cannot make him change his focus.
In the Star Zone League - Foundation Establishment level, the first place winner will receive a reward of 100 million Destiny Points, as well as the qualification to choose any 'Earth-level' second-tier divine ability from the Immortal Alliance Inheritance Treasury.
Earth-level supernatural power represents the highest level of cultivation that can be achieved up to the seventh rank, a realm below True Immortal!
Second, third, fourth... each major realm has corresponding supernatural abilities, which can be cultivated along the way without needing to change.
The second place winner will receive 50 Destiny Points and a ticket to the 1013 annual sermon by the seventh-tier Grandmaster "Qingben Zhenren".
Tickets to a lecture by a seventh-level powerful being are indeed quite valuable; for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it's an opportunity that money can't buy.
However... judging from the rewards for first and second place, it's clear that these weren't very attractive to Ye Yang.
His master was a seventh-level powerhouse!
They're just being a bit low-key.
The Supreme Immortal Martial Dao lineage contains even the 'Heaven-level' divine abilities used by True Immortals, let alone the Earth-level ones.
Therefore, Ye Yang felt that his reward of 3 league points was more practical.
League points can be understood as a kind of "credit" recognized by all the universities that co-host the league.
In other words, it can be used in schools in almost all star sectors.
Of course, if it's not your own school, you can't use it to redeem physical rewards; you can only redeem inheritance.
Ye Yang opened his school's resource list with some anticipation, hoping to find a spirit item related to the "Law of Time and Space".
As a result, they came full of enthusiasm but left disappointed; there was nothing there at all!
Only after asking my master did I learn that in the world of the Immortal Alliance, the threshold for comprehending the three great laws of [Time and Space], [Cause and Effect], and [True Spirit] is extremely high.
Even among immortals, there are many who haven't even begun to understand the basics, so don't even think about it before you've achieved true enlightenment!
The treasures that can help people comprehend these three laws are naturally extremely precious and are not found in the university's resource library.
The simplest way to comprehend the laws of space and time is to start with the "laws of the void," which are contained within the former.
However, even with the laws of the void, Ye Yang could not find any relevant treasures for comprehension.
Even with his special divine soul, which had mastered the first level of the "Great Void Refining Divine Method," and could sense the ripples of spacetime and be very close to the void, he could not directly comprehend the laws of the void through this.
After all, not every world is like the original universe, openly revealing its cosmic origin fluctuations.
We had no choice but to give up.
So Ye Yang exchanged for a copy of "Twilight Fire and Water" to enhance his comprehension of the fire element laws.
One of the biggest advantages of cultivating immortality in terms of comprehending the laws is that one can cultivate a natal object.
Such as one's natal spirit fire or natal magic weapon.
Ye Yang has an inexhaustible spiritual fire within his body. Although it is not cultivated in the way that is his natal object, it still drives him to use it for various purposes.
Ye Yang used his magic to nourish the "Inexhaustible Spiritual Fire," causing it to actively refine and devour the "Twilight Fire and Water," while he watched the process unfold.
Originally, because it was not his natal object, when the power of the 'Inexhaustible Spiritual Fire' was fully unleashed, Ye Yang's divine sense could not get too close, otherwise it would burn his divine sense.
However, after his soul acquired the characteristics of the void, Ye Yang was surprised to find that although his divine sense felt extremely painful from being enveloped by the fully unleashed power of the 'Endless Spiritual Fire'... it did not cause any substantial damage to his divine sense!
The divine sense is like a part of the void. Even though it is affected by these powers, it is not destroyed... On the contrary, it feels like it has been tempered.
So Ye Yang endured the pain and probed the 'Endless Spiritual Fire' with his divine sense, carefully sensing the entire process of it refining the 'Twilight Fire and Water'.
This is a collision and fusion of two fire-based laws.
Ultimately, the inexhaustible spiritual fire successfully refined and absorbed the twilight fire and water, its own intensity dimming considerably. However, although the spiritual fire was severely weakened, the power of the laws contained within it nearly doubled!
If this inexhaustible spiritual fire were to recover, it would surely become even more powerful!
Ye Yang also benefited greatly from this process, making a small step forward in his understanding of the fire element laws.
Furthermore, there is still room for improvement; by frequently studying this inexhaustible spiritual fire in the future, one can continue to progress.
After digesting his competition rewards, Ye Yang began preparing for his final exams.
At the end of June, the final exams were over, and Ye Yang passed most of his subjects by the passing mark... because he hadn't focused on studying during this period, but instead devoted most of his energy to condensing the initial form of the true meaning.
On July 3rd, on orbit 153 of the White Hole, Ye Yang finally integrated the effects of the first level of the "Tai Xu Refining Spirit Method" into the prototype of true meaning, making it a part of himself.
"Although it is possible to directly separate a small part of the soul of the main body and descend into the avatar, there are still differences in the laws. It would be better to integrate it with the prototype of the true meaning."
Ye Yang smiled slightly as memories from several months ago resurfaced:
In the world of Swallowed Star, he is being hunted down by the Anzac family of the Silver Blue Empire because the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship exposed the fact that he came from the "Void Zone", arousing the suspicion and covetousness of the Anzac family.
A high-speed B9-class spaceship was hot on his heels, and the Anzac family had countless pursuers closing in.
Babata had previously stopped him from fighting the enemy because his strength was insufficient to be considered invincible in the celestial realm.
But Ye Yang now... a ninth-level Hengxing, it's not impossible to kill him!
With a single thought, it descends and devours the world.
……
"I chose to orbit the Beta Galaxy a quarter of the way, and then fly into the sparsely mattered region behind the Beta Galaxy..."
Babata's voice reached Ye Yang's ears.
"We've only just left the Milky Way," Ye Yang nodded, muttering to himself.
However... as the nascent form of true meaning took effect, a little bit of barely perceptible energy was gathering towards Ye Yang's sea of consciousness.
Ye Yang is feeling extremely uncomfortable right now, like his big toes are stuffed into tiny shoes, which feels very awkward.
His consciousness had become accustomed to that "open senses," and now that it had descended upon this body and soul, it suddenly felt as if it had been stuffed into a small black box, creating a sense of confinement.
However... as time went by, this feeling gradually eased.
"My soul..."
Ye Yang couldn't help but close his eyes and look inward into his sea of consciousness.
Within his sea of consciousness, six miniature planets were spinning rapidly, absorbing and releasing streams of spiritual energy and divine sense.
However... a strange, black, and empty phantom, resembling a miniature planet, is constantly absorbing Ye Yang's spiritual power.
"What is this? Is my mental power about to advance to the seventh level of the planetary stage? But it doesn't feel like it..."
Just as Ye Yang was wondering, he suddenly felt an astonishing sharp pain in his brain!
No, not in the brain, it appears directly in the depths of the soul!
"Uh—ah—this is…"
Inside the spaceship, Ye Yang's eyes suddenly widened, and he knelt on the ground, trembling.
His eyes began to swell wildly with blood, and an excruciating pain beyond the limits of his body's pain perception descended upon his soul... making Ye Yang almost lose control of his body.
