Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 58 Arrival in Chaos City

"The Principles of Space, Book 1, priced at 1000 points."

"The Principles of Space, Volume 2, priced at 10,000 points."

"..."

"The Principles of Space, Volume 9, priced at 100 billion points."

Yu Duan carefully read through the detailed introduction of this secret book, the first volume of which contained 3417 secret techniques, corresponding to the first picture on the Myriad Universe Chaos Stele.

These are all secret methods for explaining the essence of the first nine most basic laws of the fundamental laws of time.

The Nine Solutions to Time and Space that Teacher Qinghuan Wang imparted to Yu Duan is worth no more than 100 points.

The first volume of "The Principles of Space" has seen its value skyrocket to 1000 points.

"You get what you pay for. According to Teacher Qinghuan Wang, the speed of progress in studying this secret technique is almost close to one-tenth of the effect of comprehending the Chaos Stele. Don't disappoint me."

Without hesitation, Yu Duan placed an order for the first three volumes of "The Principles of Space" with 10 points.

The first three volumes already contain more than 5000 secret techniques, covering all kinds of categories, including combat, support, and enlightenment techniques, enough for Duan to cultivate.

"Transaction successful!"

"10 points will be deducted and the balance will be 0 points."

"Please wait, someone will deliver the secret method soon."

Yu Duan couldn't help but want to complain, "This is in a virtual universe!"
Could you please have the secret technique appear directly in my study? Why did you have to send someone over specifically?
For some reason, everything in the Rain Mountain plane is designed to simulate life in the real world. Even in Yu Duan's manor, there are servants specifically assigned to clean.

In theory, in a virtual universe, these are all problems that can be solved by simply adjusting a single value.

However, the virtual universe did not keep Yu Duan waiting long. In just two or three minutes, three staff members in silver uniforms appeared at the entrance of Yu Duan's manor.

They were carrying three silver metal briefcases, which were clearly the secret techniques that Yu Duan had purchased.

A moment later, in the study.

Yu Duan sat cross-legged on a futon, with three silver metal books in front of him.

On the cover of the first silver metal book, there are only four simple words in the universal language: the Principle of Space.

"Such a profound... artistic conception!"

In a daze, Yu Duan seemed to sense that this book of secret techniques had existed for countless years, having been born since the beginning of time and weathered by countless epochs of time.

In a daze, Yu Duan's consciousness was drawn along, as if he saw the evolution of the universe and the nascent forms of countless celestial bodies being conceived in the scorching primordial soup.

Yu Duan hurriedly opened the first volume of the secret manual. The entire volume was 40 centimeters thick and made of thousands of silver metal pages, each of which was thin and flexible.

"The Principles of Space and Time consists of nine volumes, containing 12964 secret techniques. These techniques were created randomly during the process of comprehending the mysteries of space and time. If you can find all the secret techniques in these nine volumes, you can at least become a Universal Venerable..."

This first one should be like the preface of a book. In the distance, a weathered and steady voice faintly appears in Duan's ears, explaining how he created this secret method.

Turning to the second page, one finds not words, but simple strokes and marks, resembling sword marks or knife marks, creating a mysterious and pure artistic conception.

Yu Duan's consciousness was completely immersed in it at this moment, as if he had entered some kind of illusion, and each sword move was engraved in his consciousness.

After a long while, Yu Duan's consciousness finally broke free from the artistic conception contained in the first page of the secret method.

"No wonder this secret technique is so expensive. It is taught entirely through the transmission of artistic conception. Such a method... truly befits the great being who created the Chaos Monument."

Yu Duan turned to the second page, and with a few strokes, sketched the outline of a meteor falling to earth, exuding an ancient, vast, and domineering fist intent...

As you turn the pages, each page reveals different content—whether it's strokes, words, or simple lines—each containing its own unique secret.

These secret techniques include melee techniques such as swords and knives, ranged attack techniques using telekinesis, and some mysterious illusion techniques. All these techniques illustrate nine mysterious temporal states.

Furthermore, these nine temporal realms do not exist in isolation, but rather form a mysterious whole, interconnected and evolving with each other, making them exceptionally profound.

In the blink of an eye, almost a month has passed.

"This is time. I never imagined that my understanding of the laws of time contained so many errors."

A thoughtful expression appeared in Yu Duan's eyes, and nine-colored light rippled in the third pupil between his brows.

The being who created the Chaos Monument not only imparted thousands of secret techniques, but also thousands of different ways and perspectives to comprehend the essence of the laws of time.

It's important to understand that many seemingly insurmountable bottlenecks can be easily overcome by changing one's perspective and way of thinking.

The first volume of this book on the principles of space and time alone provides Yu Duan with thousands of different methods for analyzing the nature of time.

"It's time to change our goal of understanding the essence of the first law of time within two years!"

Yu Duan once again opened the first volume of the Principles of Space and became completely immersed in it.

This time, it wasn't a superficial viewing, but a genuine exploration of the various techniques to verify my understanding of the essence of time.

……

Time flies, and more than two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Beyond the endless Milky Way, in a corner of the vast universe, lies a supercontinent-like celestial body with a diameter of tens of light-years.

Countless stars, planets, and other celestial bodies revolve around this continent.

This is the global headquarters of Virtual Universe Company.

The numerous stars, planets, and other celestial bodies orbiting the continent have all been transformed into super war bases, which even the ruler of a cosmic nation cannot forcibly enter.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, ripples spread across the space surrounding this supercontinent, and then four ancient spaceships appeared, landing on the continent following the guidance signal.

Wow!
As the spaceship opened, Yu Duan, Aarons, and others, surrounded by a group of guards, flew out of the hatch. At that moment, not far from where the spaceship landed, a large number of uniformed staff members hurriedly came to greet them.

"Your Highnesses, we are here on His Majesty's orders to guide you to the assembly point." The leader of the group of staff bowed to Yu Duan and the others.

"Thank you."

Yu Duan nodded slightly, bid farewell to Minks, the leader of his guards during this period, and then followed the staff along a corridor.

Before long, Yu Duan and the others entered a huge hemispherical building hall. The dome of the entire hall was transparent, allowing them to see the vast universe and starry sky outside.

"Yu Duan and Aarons are here too!"

Upon seeing Yu Duan, Aarons, and the other four members of the Northern Miasma Universe Kingdom approaching together, many geniuses came forward to greet them.

In the distance, Kodi, who was sitting cross-legged on a suspended chair, also opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Yu Duan.

"Yu Duan, over here!"

Koti waved and shouted.

Beside Kodi were several people familiar to Yu Duan, including Yan Nujia, a young man from the Yanpoluo tribe, and Nan Er, the prince of the Nanhu tribe, among other geniuses ranked in the top ten of the genius battle.

Over the past two years, Kodi has frequently invited his peers to gatherings, and he always pays for the meals. He has a generous personality and is not arrogant.

His only flaw is that he likes to show off his progress in the rules. Every time he makes a significant improvement, he drags Yu Duan and others to a gathering.

"Kodi, in a sense, this is our first time meeting."

Yu Duan brought Aarons and Cordi together, but Pennolai and Delis did not come along.

At the beginning of the gathering, Yu Duan also brought Peng Nuolai and another person, but they only attended twice before they stopped going, because it was too discouraging.

"Tell me about your speed of progress in the laws?" Kodi asked curiously as he approached.

Yu Duan chuckled: "Not much progress. There's still a gap between us."

Kodi gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction and looked at Yan Nujia and the others beside him: "Yu Duan is too mature and has no fun at all."

Yan Nujia and the others simply smiled and did not agree with Kodi's words.

There are some things that Kodi can say, but they can't say.

"Everyone, prepare to enter the initial universe!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, echoing throughout the entire hall.

Then, an elderly man with white hair and golden eyes, shrouded in an elegant white robe, appeared, and a chilling aura emanated from him.

With a wave of his hand, the white-haired, golden-eyed old man unleashed a gentle yet unstoppable force that instantly enveloped everyone present.

Swish!
In an instant, Yu Duan, Ke Di, and thousands of other geniuses vanished from their original spots.

……

A moment later, in a magnificent palace carved from white jade, a group of geniuses gathered together.

Inside the palace hall, Venerable Yucheng, clad in black battle armor, swept his gaze over the group of geniuses before finally settling on Yu Duan and Kedi, nodding in satisfaction.

"Let's set off! Open the cosmic portal and head to the Primordial Universe!"

The voice of Venerable Jade City contained a special power, which was transmitted directly to the outside world through the white jade palace.

"boom!"

A deep rumble sounded from the outside world, and the white jade palace rose into the air before being swallowed up by a spacetime vortex.

Instantly, a sense of temporal and spatial distortion filled the perceptions of the many geniuses present.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, please help me up."

"No, I feel like throwing up!"

In an instant, thousands of geniuses turned pale, and dizziness, headaches, and other negative feelings surged up.

In just a few seconds, more than 700 of the thousands of geniuses collapsed onto the white jade ground, with only a few able to stand. Among them, Yu Duan was in the best condition.

"We are now in the passage between the original universe and the original universe."

Looking at the reactions of the many young people, Venerable Jade City smiled faintly.

Especially after seeing Yu Duan's normal expression, admiration appeared in his eyes. He truly deserved to be called a genius whose will far surpassed his own level.

"The flow of time in the initial universe is different from that in the original universe, which causes the flow of time within the passage to be disordered, making you feel a little uncomfortable, but it will disappear soon."

A few minutes after Venerable Jade City's voice faded, the chaotic feeling of spacetime distortion disappeared, and the many young people finally caught their breath.

"We have now entered the initial universe..."

Venerable Yucheng looked at Yu Duan, Kedi, and a dozen other outstanding geniuses, and explained to them the difference between the primordial universe and the initial universe.

"The efficiency of comprehending the laws in the initial universe is more than ten times that of the original universe."

"Therefore, the progress of the past thirty years is very important to you."

"Finally, remember the rules of Chaos City, and do not break them."

"I hope that you will all be alive thirty years from now."

As Venerable Jade City finished speaking, everyone arrived at their destination.

The palace, carved from white jade, slowed down and finally landed on a wide platform outside Chaos City.
