Chapter 260: Chapter 249 Comprehending the Law
Time swiftly passed by, and ten years slipped away in the blink of an eye. Wang Xu was still inside the Sand Tower, comprehending the "Formless Sacred Image".
In the outside world, ten years equaled six hundred years inside the Sand Tower.
Wang Xu spent a full six hundred years solely on understanding the "Formless Sacred Image", in order to strengthen his survival abilities.
"Clone!" Wang Xu uttered softly, and suddenly countless shadows emerged from his body, each resembling Wang Xu perfectly and radiating the invincible White Hole Level aura.
Thirty thousand clones!
Wang Xu’s six hundred years of contemplation greatly improved his mastery over the "Formless Sacred Image". Although he still couldn’t condense the Sacred Image, his Clone technique had made great progress, allowing him to split into a full thirty thousand clones, all possessing invincible White Hole Level strength.
Although these clones aren’t strong, when united, they form a Cosmic Martial Artist army. If they self-destruct, they can severely damage an existence of the Immortal Chaos Realm!
"Brother Wang Xu!" Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, awakening Wang Xu from the Sand Tower’s space. He saw the white-robed figure before him, and his eyes instantly lit up.
"Brother Lu Chen." The Lu Chen before him was no longer the ragged, drunken figure from ten years ago, who seemed like a beggar drunkard. His messy hair was neatly trimmed, clothed in an elegant white robe, paired with his originally handsome features, the whole person rejuvenated, transformed from a beggar into a refined gentleman.
"I couldn’t find a trace of you at your Palace Mansion, but later heard from other junior brothers that you went to the Mortal Realm. Ah, those are the humans on Earth, already built to this state," Brother Lu Chen said, smiling as he witnessed the thriving scene of humanity.
"Brother Lu Chen, your change is immense. But being able to move beyond the past is indeed a blessing, haha." Wang Xu laughed sincerely.
Lu Chen showed a bitter smile: "It was Master’s intention. When I returned, Master was extremely delighted but insisted I change my appearance, or he would expel me from the White Sun Hall... I had no choice."
"With Brother Lu Chen’s current appearance, charming and graceful, if seen by the girls of the outside world, they would definitely fall madly in love with you." Wang Xu teased.
The two chatted and laughed, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
"You said you are cultivating a Secret Scripture of Ancient Inheritance?" Brother Lu Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Xu nodded. He didn’t often exchange ideas with Brother Lu Chen, but their interests aligned well, and he admired him deeply. Moreover, Brother Lu Chen’s achievements in strength far surpassed his own, so Wang Xu expressed his inner doubts, seeking Brother Lu Chen’s advice.
"The ’Formless Sacred Image’... This Clone Secret Scripture... tsk tsk tsk..." Brother Lu Chen shook his head with admiration upon hearing this. "Incredible!"
Despite Brother Lu Chen never having cultivated the "Formless Sacred Image", just hearing Wang Xu’s description revealed how powerful this Secret Scripture must be, capable of creating independent life identical to oneself... It’s akin to having a second life!
"It’s good, but I still can’t condense the Sacred Image, only able to cultivate the Clone part," Wang Xu said with a wry smile.
The essence of the Formless Sacred Image lies in the Sacred Image; otherwise, simply creating clones makes its survival ability inferior to even a Divine Treasure.
Brother Lu Chen pondered for a while, unable to come up with a solution immediately.
After all, even the Saint Venerable couldn’t succeed with this Secret Scripture, so even if Lu Chen joined efforts, it was impossible to clarify the mystery.
"Sigh, I don’t have any means either." Lu Chen shook his head dejectedly after a moment, "but I suggest you might attempt using other Cosmic Laws, perhaps your own Cosmic Law isn’t suitable, yet other Cosmic Martial Artists might succeed."
"Cosmic Law?" Wang Xu questioned in confusion.
Lu Chen widened his eyes: "Really? You mean you haven’t yet comprehended a Cosmic Law?"
"Well..." Wang Xu was taken aback, "No!"
"My heavens, without comprehending a Cosmic Law, you could still reach the Immortal Chaos Realm in strength?" Lu Chen looked at Wang Xu as if he was a monster, disbelief evident on his face.
Seeing Wang Xu’s bewildered expression, Brother Lu Chen slapped his forehead, marveling at how Wang Xu managed to enhance his strength up to this point without comprehending a Cosmic Law!
"I now solemnly tell you, Cosmic Laws are vital, especially for your current realm; they are crucial. You can only truly step into the door of the Mixed Universe Realm and become a genuine Mixed Universe Realm upon truly comprehending a Cosmic Law," Brother Lu Chen said.
"Comprehending a Law to become Mixed Universe Realm!" Wang Xu was astonished, but indeed had never heard of this. Upon slight reflection, he realized that all the Mixed Universe Realm individuals he encountered, whether in attack or defense, contained Cosmic Laws...
"Cosmic Laws divide into numerous categories, with the most common being the Five Elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the most broadly and universally recognized Laws. The Five Elements are the most convenient and easiest to comprehend. Most Mixed Universe Realm individuals start from the Five Elements and break through to the Initial Chaos Universe Realm," Brother Lu Chen explained. "Other Cosmic Laws include thunder, wind, light, time, void, darkness, etc... What you currently need to comprehend is the Law of Light."
"The Cosmic Law is divided into three stages: ’Unknown’, ’Half-Knowledge’, and ’Prophet’. A cosmic martial artist only needs to comprehend one cosmic law to the ’Unknown’ stage to merge with the law and use it to evolve their own black and white hole, thereby giving birth to their own ’Mixed Cosmos’."
"Every Mixed Universe Realm can only comprehend one cosmic law. Once this law reaches the ’Prophet’ stage, they are qualified to challenge the Celestial God Realm."
Senior Brother Lu Chen talked eloquently, sharing the details of cultivation with Wang Xu, who listened attentively, afraid to miss a single word.
"Do you know why I was able to rival the Celestial God Realm and almost killed that Celestial God?" Lu Chen said, "I relied on the ’Law of Time’ which I had reached to the ’Prophet’ stage!"
"The Law of Time is an extremely rare existence among cosmic laws. It can slow time and space, causing time to stand still in an entire region. Moreover, I can even reverse time around myself by three seconds... Do not underestimate those three seconds. When the opponent strikes and hits you, you suddenly reverse time to the moment before they hit you. This gap is enough to create an illusion for the opponent, giving you ample opportunity to strike back!"
Hearing this, Wang Xu roughly understood, and his reverence for Lu Chen rose once again.
The Space-Time Law, when comprehended to the ’Prophet’ stage, allows time to reverse by three seconds. It is known that in battles between cosmic martial artists, victory or defeat can be decided within millionths of a second. Three seconds is enough for a cosmic martial artist to die countless times back and forth.
"Senior Brother Lu Chen, how can one comprehend the cosmic law?" Wang Xu asked.
"You must start with the Great Will. Your Great Will is Light, so the law you will comprehend is the Law of Light. Now immerse yourself in the Great Will of Light and use it to touch the cosmos." Senior Brother Lu Chen instructed.
Following Lu Chen’s advice, Wang Xu entered the Great Will of Light and soon found his consciousness engulfed in a spotless white light. Roars, murderous aura, resentment... various emotions of frenetic destruction permeated his consciousness. This was Wang Xu’s Light’s Will, containing the intent of frenzied destruction.
"Use the Great Will to touch the cosmos." Wang Xu immersed himself in the Great Will, surrounded by white, unable to discern where the cosmos was. "Where is the cosmos?"
Unable to find the cosmos, Wang Xu’s consciousness wandered in this vast space of the Great Will, as if he could never reach the end.
In reality.
"That’s it." Lu Chen watched as Wang Xu’s Great Will gradually spread out, the unique frenetic destruction intent of his Will dispersing.
A dazzling light burst forth, accompanied by endless frenetic intent. Lu Chen immediately waved his hand, taking Wang Xu to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, bringing him closer to the cosmos.
A moment later.
Buzz~
The invisible cosmic law suddenly descended. The Great Will of Light on Wang Xu started to transform. The light was no longer dazzling but became more gentle, as if able to embrace everything.
"For the cosmic law to descend on the first touch, it seems Junior Brother Wang Xu’s accumulation is very deep." Lu Chen nodded.
Touching the cosmos through the Great Will requires a very long time to gradually perceive the existence of the cosmic law and then bit by bit understand it, before finally comprehending it thoroughly and merging with the law.
Yet Wang Xu immediately had a wealth of understanding, directly causing the cosmic law to descend. Clearly, Wang Xu had reached the limit in his comprehension of the Great Will before, with deep accumulation, allowing him to suddenly touch the cosmic law.
One day, two days, three days... A full seven days passed. Senior Brother Lu Chen did not leave, staying beside Wang Xu. Comprehending the cosmic law is a very mystical state, and the length of time cannot be controlled, and during this period, one must not be disturbed. Otherwise, once out of this state, rediscovering it depends on chance.
Another seven days passed, then another seven days. Wang Xu sat for seven years, seemingly forgetting the existence of time, immersed in the insights of the law.
"Junior Brother Wang Xu’s insight into the law is overly long." Lu Chen frowned. The duration of comprehending the cosmic law does not affect the final result, "However, the longer one immerses in the law, the easier it will be to comprehend it in the future."
Comprehending the law is not a matter of overnight success. Previously, Lu Chen spent a full ten thousand years comprehending the Law of Time, just the time spent sitting motionlessly, immersed in the law, was extremely long. Wang Xu, having passed only seven years, is still far from truly comprehending the law.
Suddenly—
A dazzling and glaring light burst from Wang Xu’s body. It seemed as if a small sun was hanging in the sky, illuminating the earth with scorching light. All humans were attracted by this light, while a wisp of cosmic law’s aura quietly spread out.
"What!?" Lu Chen was dumbfounded, "Could it be... could it be that he comprehended it completely from just one touch of the cosmic law?"
This...
How is this possible!
At the same time, Wang Xu, surrounded by light, suddenly opened his eyes. Instantly, all the light dimmed and dispersed, gathered into his eyes, with a faint white light flowing on his skin. The whole person seemed like an ethereal deity, incredibly sacred. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation.
