Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

The Chaos Monument of the Universe, the Chaos Monument of the Heart Mark, and all other Chaos Monuments all use pictures to explain the fundamental laws of the universe.

It was only when Wang Xiu actually arrived in front of the Chaos Monument of the Universe that he discovered that, compared with the Chaos Monument of the Heart Mark that he had comprehended before, in addition to the different laws they explained, there was another biggest difference.

That's the difference in the number of pictures!

Compared to the Heart Mark Chaos Monument which only has seven pictures, the Universe Chaos Monument has as many as eight pictures!
"No wonder there are thirty floors on the Universe Bridge." Looking at the Universe Chaos Monument in front of him surrounded by wisps of chaotic air currents, Wang Xiu couldn't help but nod secretly.

Although Wang Xiu’s realm was very different from that of the Chaos City Lord who created the Chaos Monument of the Universe, in the end he couldn’t understand the last two pictures at all.

But he could still vaguely distinguish that the last two pictures were fundamentally different from the previous six pictures!

Wang Xiu has now fully understood all 108 essences of the Law of Origin of Space, and the first 72 essences of the Law of Origin of Time, so he can clearly sense that in the first six pictures in the Chaos Monument of the Universe, the Law of Origin of Time and the Law of Origin of Space coexist.

As for the last two pictures, although he could not understand them and could not perceive the mysteries in them, he could still distinguish them. The two pictures only explained one universal law respectively - time and space!

"So this is how the three different branches of the cosmic school came about." Seeing this, Wang Xiu suddenly realized.

Among the cosmic schools that comprehend the Chaos Monument of the Universe, there are three major branches: practicing both time and space, practicing time as the main and space as the auxiliary, and practicing space as the main and time as the auxiliary.

Wang Xiu took the first path, the path of cultivating both time and space.

Bolan, who entered the Virtual Universe Company with Wang Xiu, also chose the path of cultivating both time and space at the beginning. However, Bolan's talent in the law of time was weaker. In the end, he had no choice but to change to cultivating space as the main method and time as the auxiliary method.

For Wang Xiu, he must fully comprehend the mysteries of the laws of time and space contained in the first six pictures on the Universe Chaos Monument before he can truly understand and master them.

As for the other two major schools, they only need to fully understand the mysteries of the laws that they major in. As for the mysteries of the auxiliary laws of time/space, they do not need to fully understand them.

As for the seventh and eighth pictures, for the practitioners of both time and space, there is no difference between the order of appearance and the order of precedence.

But for practitioners from the other two sects, it is different.

After they have comprehended the first six pictures, the practitioners of the school that focuses on space as the main and time as the auxiliary can only comprehend the seventh picture first. After they have fully comprehended and mastered the seventh picture and become the master of the universe, they can start from the first picture and comprehend the law of the origin of time step by step. Finally, they can comprehend the eighth picture and break through to the master of the universe.

The same is true for the school that believes that time is the main focus and space is secondary, except that the order is slightly changed.

These three paths lead to the same destination.

But in terms of future potential, the first type of time and space cultivation is undoubtedly the fastest and strongest.

Those who are able to pursue the path of both time and space are all super geniuses who can amaze an era.

However, although the path of practicing both time and space is good, especially after breaking through to immortality, because one has been recognized by the laws of time and space in the realm master period, the speed of comprehending the laws will not decrease much.

If you can fully comprehend the laws of time and space, your chances of breaking through to become the master of the universe will be much greater.

As for the other two factions, they were just a helpless compromise under the reality of insufficient talent, although the difficulty of early training was much lower.

However, after breaking through to the level of Universe Venerable, the cultivation speed of the practitioners of the other two sects will drop to freezing point, and they will be no different from the practitioners who are comprehending the other Chaos Monuments.

There are even some cultivators who lack talent and have not been recognized by the laws of time/space during their period as Realm Lords. After they break through to immortality, their cultivation speed will drop drastically, and it will be difficult for them to break through to the level of Universe Lords.

However, correspondingly, if one insists on taking the most difficult path, it will probably be difficult for most practitioners of the universe's schools to break through to immortality.

After all, not everyone is a super genius who can practice as easily as drinking water and eating.

After understanding all this, Wang Xiu focused his attention on the third picture of the Cosmic Chaos Monument.

Wang Xiu has now understood the first 108 of the 72 essences of the law of the origin of time. Only the last essences are left to be understood, which correspond to the third picture of the Universe Chaos Monument.

Soon, Wang Xiu was completely immersed in the world of laws.

……

Seven days flew by.

Wang Xiu was completely immersed in the secret training room and didn't notice the passage of time at all.

"Boom..." The huge bronze door opened with a bang, but Wang Xiu was still in a trance and did not wake up.

"Come out."

"Come out."

……

A voice came and poured directly into Wang Xiu's mind, echoing in his mind.

The sound continued to echo in his mind, getting louder and louder, causing Wang Xiu to wake up from his cultivation world involuntarily.

"So fast?" Wang Xiu looked at the Cosmic Chaos Monument in front of him, muttered softly, then stood up and quickly rushed out of the training room.

No matter how many times he practiced in the secret training room, Wang Xiu still could not adapt to Kanderi's awakening "magic sound".

The moment Wang Xiu rushed over the threshold, the voice echoing in his mind disappeared instantly, and he felt relaxed.

"Lord Kendri." Wang Xiu glanced at the smiling three-eyed old man beside him and bowed respectfully.

"Yes." Kandri nodded with a smile, and then smiled at the 13 people who had been impatient for a long time and said, "You can go in. Remember, you must come out immediately when the time is up!"

"Yes, Lord Kendri." The 13 people responded respectfully in unison, and then rushed into the training room impatiently.

Looking at the 13 people who turned into afterimages and rushed into the bronze gate, Wang Xiu couldn't help but secretly gasp: "So many people? No wonder Kandri said I was lucky before."

"I thought it was just a polite remark on his part."

"Lord Kendri, I have just finished comprehending the Chaos Monument. There are many insights in my mind that need to be sorted out urgently. I will go back to practice first." Wang Xiu came back to his senses and said to Kendri with a smile, then turned around and left quickly.

……

"Hmm? Big brother and second brother?" Wang Xiu had just left the corridor of the secret training room and was walking towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion when he saw two familiar figures among a group of cosmic-level people walking towards him.

"The third one?"

"Third son?"

When Hong and Lei Shen heard Wang Xiu's voice and looked up, they were also surprised when they saw Wang Xiu.

The cosmic-level beings who were with Hong and Lei Shen also looked at the three people in surprise when they saw this. Among them, those who were well-informed looked at Wang Xiu with surprise on their faces.

"Wang Xiu, that's Wang Xiu!"

"Damn, it really is Wang Xiu. What kind of luck am I having?"

……

Listening to the whispers of the people around him, someone who didn't know Wang Xiu asked curiously:

"Who is Wang Xiu?"

"Yes, it seems that he is just a domain master. Are you so surprised? Could he be a member of the original secret realm?"

Hearing these people's doubts, those who recognized Wang Xiu earlier became unhappy and sneered, "A member of the Original Secret Realm? He really is!"

"But ordinary members of the original secret realm can't compare with this one."

"so smart?"

"That's right, what do you think? This person is a legend from our Qianwu Universe Country!"

"During the genius competition, he was number one in the universe. After entering the Virtual Universe Company, he created miracles along the way."

"The first time I entered Chaos City, I passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge. Later, I even passed the universe-level original Tongtian Mountain and the thirteenth level of Tongtian Bridge!" "What's even more amazing is that I was directly accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Chaos City because of my talent!"

"A disciple taught directly by the Lord of Chaos City?"

These people are entering Chaos City for the first time. They have no idea what it means to pass through the universe-level original Tongtian Mountain, nor do they know what it means to pass through the thirteenth level of Tongtian Bridge.

But they knew the Lord of Chaos City, this great existence who had been repeatedly mentioned and warned about as soon as they entered Chaos City.

That is a super existence that is stronger than the Lord of the Universe!

But this seemingly ordinary domain lord is actually the direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord?

Thinking of this, some people couldn't help but secretly look at Hong and Lei Shen.

It seems that the two of them are also disciples of some super being, although they are only nominal disciples...

I don’t know who is stronger, the Chaos City Lord or that unknown super being.

And...from the way they address each other, they are brothers?
……

"Brother, brother, have you arrived in Chaos City?" Wang Xiu came up to the two of them with a smile.

"Yeah." Hong smiled and nodded.

"Third brother, everyone is secretly talking about you." Thor said with a smile.

Wang Xiu just smiled slightly in response.

Although those people spoke in low voices, with his strength, he could hear them clearly even without deliberately listening.

It's just that he doesn't care at all.

These people can praise him now, but if one day his strength stagnates, these people will also be the ones who laugh at him.

Wang Xiu knew very well in his heart that the only thing he could rely on was his own strength.

"Have you just arrived?" Wang Xiu ignored Lei Shen's teasing and asked with a smile.

He could see clearly that the direction Hong and his group were heading was clearly the direction of the training chamber where the Chaos Monument was located.

"Yeah." Hong and Lei Shen nodded, "It wasn't long since we arrived at Chaos City, and then we were brought here, and they told us to go and pick a Chaos Monument."

"Selecting the Chaos Monument." Wang Xiu sighed, feeling as if the moment he selected the Chaos Monument was right in front of him, not much time had passed.

...It seems like it hasn’t been that long.

"Brother, I won't say much else. When choosing a Chaos Monument, just choose the one that suits you best. There's no need to force yourself to choose those that look more powerful." Wang Xiu looked at them and reminded them.

“Sometimes, being strong doesn’t mean being suitable for yourself.”

"Haha, third brother, do you need to tell me this? We are not children anymore." Thor said with a smile and a wink.

"Haha, that's true." Wang Xiu smiled casually. He was worrying too much. Hong and Lei Shen's mental cultivation were both first-class. In ancient China, they were comparable to the saints and sages.

They naturally understand that what suits them is the best.

"Okay." Looking at the cosmic-level creatures that had already gone far away without stopping, Wang Xiu nodded, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

"Yeah." Hong and Lei Shen did not refuse. Now was obviously not the time for brothers to chat with each other.

After the three of them said goodbye to each other, Hong and Lei Shen left first.

After watching the two people enter the corridor of the secret training room, Wang Xiu turned around and left.

……

On the rooftop of Wang Xiu’s residence.

Wang Xiu sat cross-legged on the rooftop and began to sort out the fragments of insights in his mind.

Looking at the laws of the universe that were directly revealed through the cracks in the sky, Wang Xiu gradually immersed himself in cultivation again.

……

Time flies, and just thirty years have passed in a flash.

Thirty years, in Wang Xiu’s previous life, was half of a person’s life.

But in Chaos City, not even a splash of water could be made in thirty years. Some immortal gods sat on the rooftop and did not even move for thirty years.

Thirty years is just a blink of an eye for immortal gods or even world masters.

And during the past thirty years, Wang Xiu has maintained the cycle of "comprehending the Chaos Monument - organizing the insights gained - practicing "Liuhen" to accumulate doubts - and comprehending the Chaos Monument again".

On average, one has to comprehend the Chaos Monument once every three years or so.

For the practitioners in Chaos City, the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Monument is rare. It usually takes at least several decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation before one is willing to comprehend the Chaos Monument once.

In their eyes, Wang Xiu's frequent visits to comprehend the Chaos Monument were a very luxurious act.

So luxurious that it’s outrageous!
Under such an extremely favorable cultivation environment, Wang Xiu's understanding of the laws also increased rapidly, which could be described as making great progress every day.

In just thirty years since entering Chaos City, Wang Xiu has fully understood the essence of the remaining 36 laws.

All 108 essences of the original laws of time and space are fully understood!
"Huh, from now on, the three pictures in front of the Cosmic Chaos Monument are like patterns in the palm of your hand to me, and I no longer have any doubts."

On the rooftop, Wang Xiu opened his eyes, stood up, his eyes revealing a hint of joy, and his tone was extremely cheerful.

"It's time to go visit the teacher." Wang Xiu looked towards the City Lord's Mansion and murmured in a low voice.

Wang Xiu turned around and jumped off the rooftop directly, and came to the street. While walking towards the City Lord's Mansion, he opened the virtual universe network connection to see if anyone was looking for him during this time.

In the past thirty years, Wang Xiu has hardly ever connected to the virtual universe network, and has focused all his energy on comprehending the laws.

"Wow, so many emails?" As soon as Wang Xiu connected to the virtual universe network, he received more than a hundred emails.

Most of them were from his wife Lin Nianzhen, 102 of them, and the remaining 32 were from his daughter Wang Letian. Gu Fenghou, Nine Swords Master, and Extreme Sword King each sent one email, and the last two were from Hong and Thunder God respectively.

Wang Xiu first read the letters from his wife and daughter. They were all about trivial matters or family matters, and their words were full of longing.

The letters from Gu Fenghou's three teachers asked about his cultivation progress.

After Wang Xiu wrote back to each of them, he finally opened the letters from Hong and Lei Shen.

"Huh? Big brother and second brother are leaving Chaos City tomorrow?" Wang Xiu frowned as he looked at the letter. He didn't expect it to be so soon.

Wang Xiu looked at the sending time of the two emails and found that they were sent a week ago.

In other words, if Wang Xiu woke up one day later, he would have missed it.

But then Wang Xiu felt relieved: "Yes, it has been thirty years since they entered Chaos City. It is time for them to leave."

"Well, let's not go to the teacher yet, let's go find the eldest brother and the second brother first."

After parting at the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Xiu had gone to look for them once and knew where they lived in Chaos City.

The residence they chose was not far away from Wang Xiu, and their residences were next to each other.

Wang Xiu turned around and changed direction, turning into a series of phantoms and rushing towards the place where Hong and Lei Shen lived. (End of this chapter)
