The Monument of the Nine Heavens Chaos holds a total of nine images. The first, known as the “Raindrop Illustration,” portrays nine droplets of rain, each embodying a distinct artistic conception. Luo Feng, deeply engrossed in the 108 mystical characters, continuously compared his understanding of the “Raindrop Illustration” with these inscriptions. “Among these 108 characters, nine align perfectly with the raindrops depicted in the illustration.”
The imagery evoked by these nine characters was nearly identical to that of nine falling raindrops. The intricate brushstrokes of the characters subtly revealed nine sword techniques to Luo Feng.
“Profound.”
The deeper Luo Feng delved into these nine characters, the more unfathomable they seemed.
Each sword technique embodied the ultimate principle of cosmic space!
Each sword technique explained a fundamental aspect of the universe’s essence!
…
Though Luo Feng could vaguely sense from the surface imagery that the nine characters were connected to the “Raindrop Diagram,” there existed an immense chasm between superficial recognition and true comprehension. Even someone with no knowledge of English could identify identical letters, yet mastering the language was infinitely more difficult than merely discerning whether two letters matched.
This was precisely Luo Feng’s current situation.
…
As Luo Feng stood absorbed in the rooftop of his training residence, Babata, bored in the wrist space, sighed, “Truly insane. Who cultivates the fundamental laws of space like this? Even the Master back in his day, when he became an immortal existence, never delved so deeply into the essence of cosmic space. Lian Luo, the top genius from millions of years ago, truly lives up to his reputation. A genius is a genius, doing things in such an extreme way.”
In truth, cultivating the laws of space did not need to be so complicated.
It was like many people on Earth learning to use computers and Word documents—just learning how to use them was sufficient. But Lian Luo, back in his day, had actually analyzed the very essence of cosmic space and expressed it through 108 characters. It was as if he hadn’t merely learned to use Word, but had dissected the entire document to understand how it was written!
Analyzing the essence!
Cultivating the fundamental laws of the universe was the same. That vague, intuitive understanding allowed cultivators to grasp what actions were better and which were correct. Thus, relying on that mysterious sensation, they could unleash attacks imbued with the fundamental laws, making them incredibly powerful!
Yet such sensations were regarded as “mysterious and ineffable.”
If others asked about it, they could never explain it clearly.
They would only sigh, “It can only be experienced, not described in words!”
Wrong!
Nonsense! It’s not that it cannot be described in words!
Rather, many cultivators, even immortals, had never truly grasped the essence, so naturally, they couldn’t explain it clearly. Take the “Mosha Clan clone,” for example—he might wield extraordinary combat power through his affinity with space, but his understanding of spatial laws was naturally identical to that of his Earth human counterpart.
“Zhenyan truly deserves his status as a being close to a Cosmic Emperor. Having Luo Feng study the essence of cosmic space is indeed a very correct approach,” Babata mused, fully aware of this because he had witnessed the cultivation process of the Yantom Star Master, Huyan Bo.
At the beginning of cultivation, progress was fast.
However!
The deeper one went, the more difficult it became, and the more elusive the “fundamental laws of space” seemed, nearly impossible to fully comprehend.
“If one starts by studying the essence of cosmic space, gradually and step by step, perhaps the initial progress will be much slower. But later on, the rate of advancement will accelerate more and more,” Babata sighed softly. “No wonder the Master took several million years to barely attain the strength of a Marquis. But Lian Luo, in less than ten thousand years, became a Marquis the moment he reached one percent immortality!”
What a difference!
…
“My movement technique allows me to generate over twenty illusions with a single motion of my body, yet I’ve never truly understood why so many illusions are formed,” Luo Feng, after prolonged study and feeling mentally exhausted, finally emerged from his intense research state and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Now, I finally understand a little.”
Just a little.
But even this superficial understanding left Luo Feng in awe.
“Babata, how long have I been studying?” Luo Feng asked.
“Over eighteen days,” Babata replied.
“More than half a month, and I’ve only grasped the barest hint of the first sword technique?” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. Clearly, the difficulty of comprehending fundamental laws and analyzing their essence was vastly different. “At this rate, how long will it take me to fully master the first sword technique? Unfortunately, I don’t have the ‘Mosha’ secret manual.”
These 108 characters were ultimately just characters.
The ‘Mosha’ secret manual was the detailed cultivation method created and left behind by Lian Luo back then. If Luo Feng had that manual, he was confident his research progress would accelerate significantly.
“Just 800 points!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth.
“Once you successfully cross the first level of the Celestial Bridge, you’ll get 1000 points, right?”
“I know.”
Luo Feng shook his head. “But I’m not confident enough to pass the first level of the Celestial Bridge right now.” These days, at least all his insights into the Nine Heavens Chaotic Monument had been digested, deepening his understanding of spatial laws. If he now unleashed the ‘Heavenly Sword Style,’ its power would be much greater. Perhaps he could win, but he still lacked full confidence.
“If I could fully comprehend the first sword technique!”
“With nine golden swords bound together by the first realm, they could forge an impeccable unity, their might beyond mortal comprehension.” Luo Feng’s preliminary studies had already unveiled the boundless advantages of mastering the primordial sword art.
Luo Feng gazed into the distance at the edge of Chaos City.
“I’ve been training for a long time and feel mentally exhausted. I should go outside the city and take a look. Previously, the black-robed messenger mentioned that Chaos City has three treasures, and the third one is described on a stone tablet outside the city gates.” Knowing that his current state was unsuitable for further research, Luo Feng quickly strode toward one of the city gates of Chaos City. What exactly was this so-called third treasure?
The first treasure was the manifest laws of the Primordial Universe.
The second treasure was the fifty-two Chaos Tablets.
What was the third treasure?
…
Inside a vast, ancient estate in Chaos City,
“Everyone, leave,” the ape-like muscular giant waved his hand.
“Yes, Teacher.”
Dozens of immortals and Sovereigns below him respectfully bowed and then left the estate.
“That Luo Feng hasn’t even purchased the ‘Mosha’ secret technique?” Zhenyan, seated on a chair, frowned while communicating with his auxiliary AI. “He is a member of the Primordial Secret Realm and should have received the 10,000 points gifted at the beginning, right? What? He already spent them all at the very start?”
Upon learning from the auxiliary AI how Luo Feng had spent his 10,000 points, Zhenyan was left speechless.
“He actually bought the ‘Shadow Secret Manual’?” Zhenyan shook his head. “At his current strength, there’s absolutely no need for him to buy the ‘Shadow Secret Manual.’ He should have bought something more fundamental and suitable for himself. Suitable techniques are the best. This young fellow spent all his points in one go. Truly… truly…”
Suddenly, Zhenyan frowned. “Troublesome!”
“Even that eccentric Lian Luo took tens of thousands of years to decipher the 108 sword techniques. Analyzing the essence of fundamental laws is far more difficult than intuitive comprehension. It tests one’s insight, temperament, and understanding of the fundamental laws of space. Only the most brilliant geniuses can achieve anything.”
From the very beginning, gradually analyzing the essence of cosmic space, eventually leading to great achievements—
Didn’t all the supreme beings of the 1008 Cosmic Nations of Humanity know this?
Yet even knowing this, this method was never popularized because it demanded extremely high insight, temperament, and understanding of spatial fundamental laws. First, one must have a strong grasp of spatial laws. Without understanding the fundamental laws of space, how could one even begin to study them? As for temperament and insight, one must remain calm throughout the continuous research. Once one’s mind becomes restless, all efforts would be in vain.
The importance of temperament is evident.
Moreover, analyzing the essence of cosmic space required extraordinary insight.
For most cultivators, walking this path would only waste countless eons. Even Lian Luo, the top genius of the Genius War, needed tens of thousands of years. Those with slightly lesser talent (like Jiang Mo, Ai Chen, Wuka, and others) might need hundreds of thousands of years. Ordinary genius warriors might waste an entire Sovereign’s lifespan of a thousand epochs without success.
“Yes, although these thirty years in Chaos City are important for him. Still, letting him suffer a small setback and waste a few years won’t hurt,” Zhenyan shook his head. “Let him learn a lesson, understand that some precious items shouldn’t be squandered without first figuring out their best use.”
Zhenyan stopped thinking further.
Although he was concerned about Luo Feng, it was merely because they belonged to the same faction and school. He had given him a slight nudge, but not to the extent of personally going out of his way for Luo Feng, who was not yet worthy of such attention.
…
Chaos City’s walls stretched endlessly.
The city gates opened, with cultivators occasionally entering or exiting. Luo Feng also walked through the gates heading outward.
“Where is the stone tablet?” Standing at the city gate, Luo Feng looked out at the endless, desolate wastelands extending into the distance, shrouded in chaotic currents. Suddenly, he turned his head and saw a massive stone tablet to his left. The tablet was densely covered in universal cosmic script, describing the third treasure of Chaos City.
“Chaos Spirit?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
The content on the stone tablet roughly read—
Chaos Spirit: In the initial state of the universe, the ‘Primordial Universe’ naturally gives birth to some peculiar beings. These beings have strange appearances and are temporarily named ‘Chaos Beasts.’ These Chaos Beasts vary in strength, each naturally adept at certain fundamental laws. Some are proficient in many, others in fewer.
Upon being slain, Chaos Beasts decay into vast amounts of chaotic energy and a bluish-green luminous point. This bluish-green luminous point is the core of the Chaos Beast. Chaos Beasts possess no souls, only these life points, which are named Chaos Spirits.
By absorbing a Chaos Spirit into one’s body, one’s soul will directly assimilate it. After absorbing the Chaos Spirit, one’s soul will undergo certain changes, becoming more attuned to cosmic space.
…
“Luofeng!” A voice caused Luo Feng, who had not yet finished reading the stone tablet, to turn his head.
From the distance, the wild-looking warrior Ronjun dove down from the sky, landing with a loud thud on the ground. Walking barefoot toward Luo Feng, he laughed, “Haha, haven’t seen you come out these past days. Also planning to go outside the city to hunt Chaos Beasts? But be careful, many of our group have already died hunting them.”
