Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 162 Separation
Immersed in the endless mysteries of the laws, the Nether Sea lost its sense of time.

When he regained consciousness, it was already half a year later.

The Nine Swords Venerable in green robes and scale armor had already stopped demonstrating the profound mysteries of spatial laws, and stood silently waiting with his hands behind his back.

Upon waking, Minghai's eyes were glazed over, and he did not notice the presence of the Nine Swords Venerable.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the mysteries of various laws and the complex interplay of their combinations, transformations, and derivations.

'brush'

With the 'Ice Void Sword' in his hand, Minghai began practicing the 108 sword techniques recorded in the second level of the 'Mysterious Void Manual'.

Each sword technique corresponds to a void fluctuation, a basic component of the universe, which is the essence of the laws of space.

Moreover, it is closely connected to the fourth picture of the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele," which depicts a rushing river.

The waves in the river correspond one-to-one with the sword techniques. The 108 sword techniques illustrate the profound mystery contained in the 108 waves surging forward in succession in the picture.

As he performed one sword technique after another, Minghai's perception of the unique void fluctuations of the 108 Daos became clearer and clearer. In addition to the essence of the first thirty-six spatial laws, he began to truly touch the essence of the remaining 72 spatial laws.

After practicing all 108 sword techniques, the fourth image of the Ice Peak Chaos Stele was already clear in his mind, and the essence of the 108 unique spatial laws with their own void fluctuations was clearly presented in his mind.

However, it will take quite some time to truly comprehend the remaining 72 void fluctuations and thus grasp the essence of all 108 spatial laws.

But the path is clear, and it's only a matter of time before we fully grasp the essence of the laws of space!
The Nine Swords Venerable, who was watching from the side, nodded repeatedly with a smile in his eyes when he saw that Minghai had made such a great breakthrough in such a short time.

"Such talent is absolutely a once-in-a-billion-epoch genius. I hope he can still maintain this talent when he reaches the World Lord stage!"

Nine Swords Venerable thought with satisfaction.

He just demonstrated the essence of the 108 spatial laws in a nearly naked form, which would give any genius some insight.

But someone like Minghai, who almost reached the pinnacle in one step and nearly completely mastered the essence of all the laws, can only be described as a miracle!

This talent surpasses his own back then, and it surpasses all geniuses who are "once in ten million epochs"—it can be called "once in a billion epochs"!
However, the human race's final judgment on geniuses is based on the era of World Lords. No matter how strong or heaven-defying the talent displayed by Universe Lords or Domain Lords is, it does not count.

There is a fundamental difference between the Realm Lord and any realm below Immortal!
That was the period closest to the origin of the universe; only in this stage could the true talent and potential of a genius be revealed.

Almost all super strong individuals laid their foundations during their time as realm lords.

"How does it feel?"

After Minghai finished practicing his swordsmanship, the Nine Swords Venerable asked with a smile.

"Thank you Master!"

Sheathing the 'Ice Void Sword', Minghai bowed respectfully and said:

"This disciple has already gained a preliminary understanding of the laws of space, and should be able to penetrate the origin and grasp all the essence within a hundred years!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Swords Venerable nodded in satisfaction, but then immediately added with a smile:
"What if we had the 'Ring of Space' to assist us?"

"what!"

Reminded by the Nine Swords Venerable, Minghai remembered that he also had a spatial origin treasure to assist his cultivation.

Recalling the rich spatial essence he had sensed when he probed the 'Spatial Ring' with his mind, Minghai said with unwavering confidence:

"With the assistance of the 'Ring of Space,' in twenty years, no, only a little over ten years, this disciple will be able to master the essence of all spatial laws, but...!"

After a pause, Minghai stated objectively:
"This analysis is limited to the essence of the laws of space; as for understanding the laws themselves, more time is needed to improve!"

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Swords Venerable laughed heartily, then tossed over a world ring, saying with a smile:

"Once you've mastered the path of understanding the essence of the laws, cultivation is no longer simply about comprehending them; you must combine it with secret techniques to progress even faster!"

"Inside here are the secret manuals of the 'Ice Peak Chaos Stele' lineage, which I prepared for you, totaling approximately 290,000 sets!!"

"These secret manuals are all immortal-level ultimate techniques!"

"They range from the lowest to the highest level. Once you grasp the essence of the laws, you can focus your cultivation on these secret techniques. However...!"

At this point, the Nine Swords Venerable paused, looked at the Underworld Sea, and solemnly said:
"Others' secret techniques and unique skills will always belong to them. To become a true powerhouse, you must create your own unique skills that best suit you. You must understand this!" "Disciple understands!"

"Put away the World Ring," Minghai said respectfully.

"Of course, you're still a long way from creating your own unique martial arts technique!"

The Nine Swords Venerable continued:
"My requirement for you is to first comprehend the essence, thoroughly understand the path of analyzing the laws, and then begin to cultivate secret techniques and ultimate skills!"

"Only by mastering a large number of secret techniques can you acquire the ability to create your own unique skills. I hope that you can master at least ten top-tier unique skills within a thousand years, and then begin to create your own, embarking on the path to becoming a powerful figure!"

"Yes!"

Minghai replied respectfully.

"Ok!"

The Nine Swords Venerable nodded, then smiled and said:
"As a member of the Primal Realm, the company will assign you an Immortal Master to guide your cultivation!"

"However, given your level of understanding of the laws, even ordinary immortals, or even marquis-level immortals, would find it somewhat difficult to provide guidance!"

"so……!"

The Nine Swords Venerable laughed:
"I have specially invited a King-level immortal, 'King Cangjian,' who once followed the path of analyzing the essence of laws. You can apply to have him as your mentor on the company's intranet!"

"King Cangjian is a powerful Limit-Sealing King. He is a good friend of your teacher, and you two used to travel the universe together in your early years. You must be respectful to him!"

"The ultimate crowning of kings?"

Minghai was slightly surprised.

The Nine Swords Venerable actually found him a Limitless King-level expert as his mentor.

Generally speaking, even those who have just been granted the title of King would disdain serving as mentors to geniuses in secret realms, even if they are members of the original secret realm.

Not to mention those who reach the pinnacle of power!

Any being who reaches the pinnacle of immortality is a peak existence among immortals, and may be promoted to a Cosmic Venerable at any time. They are an important force of the human race, and their status is not much lower than that of a Cosmic Venerable.

More importantly, these beings don't even consider the so-called "once-in-ten-millions-era" geniuses to be a threat. Many of them were themselves geniuses of that level in their early years!
Why would they be willing to serve as instructors in the secret realm?

It goes without saying that the Nine Swords Venerable must have paid a huge price to persuade the 'King of Cangjian' to become his mentor.

And we even owe someone a favor!
This is probably only because of his relationship with the Nine Swords Venerable.

Otherwise, it's absolutely impossible to persuade them.

"Disciple understands, thank you Master!"

Minghai was deeply moved and thanked him again.

"hehe!"

The Nine Swords Venerable chuckled and shook his head, saying:

"Don't be too happy yet. Although 'King Cangjian' is my master and friend, he only agreed to guide you for a hundred years. Disciple, make the most of this hundred-year opportunity!"

"Disciple understands!"

Minghai nodded and said.

'boom'

The spaceship door opens.

"Alright, go to your place now!"

"That's what the Nine Swords Venerable said."

Goodbye, Master!

After bowing respectfully to the Nine Swords Venerable, Minghai turned and flew out of the cabin towards the beautiful continent floating in colorful clouds.

Behind them, the large, dark blue fish-shaped spaceship flicked its tail and disappeared into the dark universe.
