Chapter 8, The Allure of That One Slash
This soul-type treasure, originally named "Soul Radiance," possesses two layers of secret runes. With his current level of understanding of the laws, he should be able to comprehend the first layer with some time. However, the second layer absolutely requires reaching the Immortal level, given his current foundation! Many Realm Lords are in no way inferior to some Immortals in their understanding of the laws, and some are even comparable to Marquis or King, and they comprehend the laws more easily. However, basic strength is also extremely important! Even the weakest Immortal has a basic strength a hundred times greater than his own!
Even if a World Lord successfully comprehends the secret runes of a supreme treasure, it only accelerates the process of activating that treasure, making the use of world power more conserved. However, without sufficient foundational power, even if one barely manages to comprehend a higher level of secret runes, without enough World Lord power, it is impossible to successfully activate the treasure!
In other words, if Ye Muxuan were given a supreme treasure, he might be able to comprehend the first level of the secret runes and successfully activate the treasure. However, even if he succeeded in comprehending the second level, he wouldn't be able to provide the energy required to activate the treasure!
Just like in your past life, even if you don't know how or understand anything, you can easily push a bicycle, and a strong person can push a car, but you absolutely cannot push a train with your bare hands!
In the dark universe, the spaceship traveled at 35 times the speed of light. Inside the spaceship, in the quiet room, Ye Muxuan sat cross-legged, quietly comprehending the first layer of the "Soul Radiance" secret rune!
Time passed quickly, and three months went by in the blink of an eye. Ye Muxuan had made some progress in comprehending "Soul Radiance", and the Sword Leaf Grass had also recovered from its slumber and advanced to the Planetary level. A second silver-white leaf had also grown on its root, still as sharp as a sword, radiating a subtle sword intent.
The resources needed to cultivate from planetary level to cosmic level had already been purchased along the way, so the cultivation continued at this time. With the intelligent light brain monitoring it at any time, he didn't need to pay too much attention to it.
After a year, Ye Muxuan finally fully comprehended the first level of the secret rune!
"town!"
Within his sea of consciousness, a crystal sphere emitted a hazy light, which swirled like silk, entangling Ye Muxuan's soul and making it even more resilient! If his soul was previously like a wisp of mist in a valley, easily dispersed by a gust of wind, it was now like the water in a pond, able to withstand even thunder and lightning! This level of defense had increased by more than a hundredfold!
Based on Ye Muxuan's estimation, even a Marquis-level Immortal specializing in the soul might not be able to shake his soul with a soul attack alone! To kill him with a soul attack alone, one would need to be at least a King-level, or even a high-level King-level!
Of course, being a martial artist, he had no means of retaliating in terms of the soul. He didn't know any illusions, illusions, or soul attacks, since "Soul Radiance" only had the function of guarding the soul. Moreover, it would be a different story if the opponent used material means. The former Lord of the Sirius Clan was cleaved in two by him, and his Origin Pearl was torn apart before he died!
In the third year, Ye Muxuan, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and sighed softly.
After more than half a year of testing, it was indeed true that the second level of the secret runes was far too profound for him at his current level. Comprehending it was completely impossible. The only option, besides advancing his understanding of the laws several more times, was to elevate his life's genetic level. This made sense; after all, this treasure was meant for those Venerables who had fully comprehended the laws of time or space. Relying on the advantage of easier law comprehension, he had barely managed to comprehend the first level, and it was impossible for him to even think about the second level in the short term.
Composing himself, Ye Muxuan sensed the time; it was about a month's journey to the target star field. He calmed his mind, connected his consciousness to the origin of the universe, and comprehended the fundamental laws!
Regardless of the stage, comprehending the laws is fundamental! And the Realm Lord is the stage where it is easiest to comprehend the major fundamental laws throughout the entire cultivation process!
……
Consciousness descended upon the origin of the universe, and its dazzling light shone brightly. Each of the countless points of light faintly exuded a vast and inexplicable aura!
If everyone has a seed that needs ample sunlight and rain to take root and sprout, then the journey from perception to understanding the laws is like that sunlight and rain. Only when the seed has enough sunlight and rain can it slowly sprout, but that's not enough. Continuing to absorb sunlight and rain without sufficient nutrients will only result in the seed growing wildly out of instinct, yet it will still fail to grow strong.
The secret method gleaned from comprehending the laws is nourishment.
Therefore, before creating one's own secret techniques, even if one's understanding of the laws is already very profound, one still needs to learn the secret techniques of predecessors. This is to accumulate enough nutrients, or rather, foundation, for the seed that has already taken root and sprouted.
Every seed is different; some are born plump, some withered, and some are broken from the start. Furthermore, the sunlight and rain each seed encounters are different. In other words, everyone's talent is different, and their affinity for various laws is even more varied!
Leaving aside those plump seeds, even the same shriveled seeds, some people never encounter rain in their entire lives, only sunshine, or only sunshine without rain, or even neither. That seed will remain shriveled until it dies without ever having the chance to sprout!
Some people may occasionally encounter a light drizzle, or even a ray of sunshine. Perhaps over time, this can nourish the withered seeds and allow them to take root and sprout. However, it is difficult for them to grow strong and healthy.
Talent is like a seed that is full and ready to sprout and grow into a big tree when it encounters plenty of sunshine and rain.
Some people are like broken seeds; no matter how much sunshine, rain, or nutrients they receive, their seeds will never take root and sprout!
Just like the Genius Battle that ended fifteen years ago, those who entered the core area at the Eternal Star level were all considered super geniuses! But even among geniuses, there are differences. Yun Ming, who was the first to enter the Primordial Secret Realm in the Genius Battle, possessed an exceptionally full and robust seed. Ye Muxuan had only watched some highlights of his competition, which were sent by the Virtual Universe Company, and from them, he could see that his talent in comprehending the laws of space was comparable to that of a typical Realm Lord at the Eternal Star level! As long as he didn't go astray and didn't perish halfway, then stepping into Immortality shouldn't be difficult, and even becoming a King was a glimmer of hope!
As for some so-called geniuses in the post-apocalyptic zone, their seeds are only considered decent. After entering the core layer, they receive ample sunshine and rain and have sufficient nutrients. Compared to ordinary people, they are naturally super geniuses, but they are not comparable to figures like "Yun Ming," who can be described as appearing only once every tens of thousands of epochs!
Even the weakest Realm Lord, once their consciousness descends to the origin of the universe, is something that even the geniuses of the Eternal Star level cannot imagine! After all, even a genius like "Yun Ming" cannot project his consciousness into the origin of the primordial universe! Because they are still just seeds, while a Realm Lord is a great tree that can compete for sunlight and rain!
……
Consciousness descended upon the origin of the universe, and in the next moment, a shocking change occurred!
A dazzling and vast light shot out from Ye Muxuan's consciousness, slashing towards the origin of the primordial universe!
Ye Muxuan: "..."
Endless light swept across the primordial origin of the universe, and at that moment, Ye Muxuan clearly sensed the tremor of the primordial origin of the universe!
In the next instant, within the entire primordial universe, all realm lords whose consciousness was connected to the origin of the universe and who were comprehending the laws, regardless of who they were or where they were, were all kicked out!
Inside the spaceship, in the quiet room, Ye Muxuan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened his eyes. Instantly, he was covered in sweat!
