Chapter 568: Fifteen Years Of Progress (2)

In the distant Cang Feng Eldritch World, the elite Amethyst Cradle/Shambhala cultivators from across the eldritch world had gathered in the Fourth Origin Eldritch Field.

A decade had passed.

Wu Yuan’s body refiner self had already adapted to the environment, forming friendships with many talented individuals from the Origin Eldritch Field.

His reputation grew quickly. Merely displaying his comprehension of the Celestial Body Dao at the second-level True Intent stage earned him the recognition of many members of the Fourth Origin Eldritch Field, who regarded him as a future heaven-tier member of the field.

Within the Essence Tower on the void continent, Wu Yuan sat in lotus position, suspended mid-air. A silver triangular prism crystal floated above his head—the True Spatial Domain Tome.

Streams of knowledge surged into his mind, the flood of information rich with cultivation guidance pertaining to the True Spatial Domain. Meanwhile, an intangible mental imprint slowly manifested in his consciousness.

In a matter of days, the transfer of the inheritance was complete, and the mysterious True Spatial Domain Tome dissipated.

So this is the True Domain Dao. Wu Yuan’s body refiner self felt a flash of clarity, as though a veil had been lifted from his understanding.

Having received the Compendium of the Law of Space from Immortal Sovereign Bei You, along with the True Domain Law Codex, Wu Yuan now had an in-depth grasp of how to go about comprehending the Law of Space, especially the Law of True Domain.

The Law of Space encompasses three Intermediate Laws: Spatial Rift, Qiankun, and True Domain. Wu Yuan pondered. The Spatial Rift Dao excels in attacks, also known as spatial fissuring, and is hailed as one of the most formidable Intermediate Laws for offense.

The Qiankun Dao, also known as spatial fluctuation, excels in evasion. Astral Monarch Hou Qu and the others are so formidable because they've mastered the complete Qiankun Dao.

The True Domain Dao, also known as spatial domain, is supreme in domain creation, hailed as one of the strongest Intermediate Laws for domain manipulation.

Each of the three Intermediate Laws of Space was extraordinary, each uniquely powerful. Once unified to form the complete Space Dao, the result was naturally terrifying, subtly surpassing almost all other Greater Laws.

These three Intermediate Laws are formed by the fusion of six Lesser Laws. Wu Yuan mused.

The six Lesser Laws of Space: Spatial Trace, Dimensional Blade, Spatial Dimension, Spatial Tide, Void Shift, and Spatial Fracture.

The Spatial Rift Dao was the fusion Dimensional Blade, Spatial Fracture, and Spatial Dimension.

The Qiankun Dao was the fusion Spatial Trace, Void Shift, and Spatial Dimension.

The True Domain Dao was the fusion of Spatial Trace, Spatial Tide, and Spatial Dimension.

The Qiankun Dao and True Domain Dao have much in common, while the foundation of the entire Space Dao is Spatial Dimension. Wu Yuan reflected.

My first task is to contemplate the Spatial Dimension Dao. Then, I’ll tackle the other Lesser Space Laws. Finally, I’ll attempt to fuse them and see which path suits me best. Wu Yuan decided.

The True Domain Dao was critical for both the Greater Laws of Space and Life. But the Qiankun Dao was equally desirable to Wu Yuan.

From what he understood, mastering the Qiankun Dao would make one nearly invincible in the vast macrocosm, difficult for even Immortal Sovereigns to slay.

...

With the shared consciousness between true selves, the moment Wu Yuan’s body refiner self acquired the True Domain Law Codex, it was as if his qi refiner self obtained it as well.

With his plan laid out, Wu Yuan’s two true selves began cultivating. His progress was startlingly fast, especially for his qi refiner self.

His Yuan Soul had an acute sensitivity to the Fragmentary Spatial Layer. Guided by the True Domain Law Codex, the Compendium of the Law of Space, and the Qiankun Divine Stele, Wu Yuan’s comprehension of the Spatial Dimension Dao advanced at an alarming rate.

A month later, in the Immortal Belvedere, Wu Yuan sat in his residence, staring at the flame-like liquid in front of him.

"To progress from level one to level eleven in just three years? What manner of talent is this? And he’s only at the Amethyst Cradle phase!" The nearly two thousand cultivators training alongside him were left dumbfounded.

Clearing level eleven indicated reaching the True Intent stage of a Lesser Law. For most Lesser Laws, this was unremarkable. But for the notoriously difficult Law of Space? It was nothing short of miraculous.

...

Six years into his stay at the Immortal Belvedere, Wu Yuan cleared level fourteen of the Divine Stele Test, causing an even greater stir.

...

In his ninth year, Wu Yuan shattered all expectations, conquering level seventeen. His terrifying rate of progress astonished not only his peers but also drew the attention of Astral Monarch Gu Lai.

"Master," Astral Monarch Gu Lai reported, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Junior Nephew Ming Jian has comprehended Spatial Trace, Spatial Dimension, Spatial Tide, and Void Shift to the True Intent stage. And it’s only been nine years.

Such progress... In all my millions of years at the Immortal Belvedere, no, even in the past billions of years of the immortal world's history, I doubt there has ever been such a monstrous prodigy.

Junior Nephew Ming Jian is clearly an unparalleled genius in the Space Dao," Astral Monarch Gu Lai concluded.

At the far end of the divine hall, Immortal Sovereign Bei You listened silently.

"Leave him be," Immortal Sovereign Bei You said dismissively. "Inform me when he has crystallized the True Intent of an Intermediate Law."

"As you command," Astral Monarch Gu Lai replied.

...

In Wu Yuan's meditation chamber, within his private residence at the Immortal Belvedere.

Four Lesser Laws, all at the first-level True Intent stage. Moreover, the power of the synergy between the three Lesser Laws is equivalent to that of the seventh-level True Intent stage of a single Lesser Law.

This was merely the result of their compatibility. Once fused to the first-level True Intent stage of an Intermediate Law, the power would increase tenfold, rivaling the first-level Dao Field stage of a Lesser Law. The fusion of Laws was the key to compensate for their individual weaknesses.

The foundation is laid. Now, it’s time to select a few secret arts and begin fusing these Laws. Wu Yuan decided, rising from the jade platform and leaving his residence.

...

Not long after, Wu Yuan had selected several suitable secret arts and began cultivating them in earnest.

Empowered by the transformative power of the Fire Divine Gorge Brew and honed by nine years of rigorous cultivation, Wu Yuan’s Yuan Soul had grown increasingly powerful.

Even without the Fire Divine Gorge Brew, his comprehension of the Space Dao remained fast, slowing only slightly.

However, the process of fusing the Laws was exponentially more difficult than mastering individual Lesser Laws.

Undeterred, Wu Yuan pressed forward, his progress steady and deliberate.

Time passed like a flowing river, and another six years slipped by.

Fifteen years had passed since Wu Yuan first entered the Immortal Belvedere. He was now eighty-eight years old.

Less than four years remain until the thirty-year deadline of the Immutable Token. Wu Yuan mused, opening his eyes slowly.

My body refiner self should prepare to depart. But before I leave, I must participate in the Fourth Origin Eldritch Field’s Heaven and Earth Tournament.
