Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 205 Guidance

A moment later, Yang Wu followed the Nine Swords Venerable to a very large mansion in Chaos City.

"This is my residence in Chaos City!" Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile. "However, I rarely come here."

Although the mansion has been uninhabited for many years, it remains exceptionally clean and tidy.

Nine Swords Venerable led Yang Wu into the living room and then sat directly in the main seat.

Suddenly, the Nine Swords Venerable exuded boundless aura, directly pressing down on Yang Wu.

Rumble...

In an instant, Yang Wu felt the entire space pressing down on him. The aura released by the Nine Swords Venerable alone already surpassed the full power of the gatekeeper when Yang Wu broke through the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.

If the Nine Swords Venerable's aura hadn't been devoid of killing intent, Yang Wu would probably be pulverized to pieces by now.

Faced with the oppressive presence of such a great being as the Nine Swords Venerable, Yang Wu's entire soul trembled.

However, Yang Wu continued to resist with all his might.

"Yang Wu!"

A calm voice rang out, and the oppressive feeling around Yang Wu instantly disappeared.

"How do you feel?" Nine Swords Venerable asked Yang Wu with a smile.

"The teacher's power is boundless!" Yang Wu couldn't help but exclaim.

Over the years, Yang Wu had seen many powerful figures, but the oppressive feeling he had just experienced was something he had never felt before.

"What I just released was only a small fraction of the power of the complete laws of space!"

Nine Swords Venerable exclaimed, "Your talent and comprehension are exceptional. Many great beings have high hopes for you; otherwise, Thunder Venerable wouldn't have wanted to take you as his disciple! Your teacher also hopes that you will become a powerful figure comparable to us in the future!"

"This disciple will certainly strive to do my best!" Yang Wu said firmly.

Looking at the confident Yang Wu, the Nine Swords Venerable smiled and said, "Yang Wu, I watched the video of you crossing the Bridge to Heaven. You were able to pass the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven by analyzing the essence of the laws of space. It seems that you have fully comprehended the first diagram of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele. You even have a very profound understanding of the second diagram."

"Of the 36 mysteries of the fundamental laws of space depicted in the second image, how many have you grasped?"

"Replying to Master, this disciple has just comprehended 15 profound mysteries!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

Out of caution, Yang Wu did not reveal all his insights into the laws, but decided to gradually reveal them in the future.

"Fifteen kinds?" Nine Swords Venerable exclaimed, "I thought you would be good enough if you could comprehend twelve kinds. I didn't expect you to comprehend fifteen kinds of spatial essence. That's quite impressive."

"If you can continue to progress at this pace, your future achievements will be limitless."

Then, the Nine Swords Venerable pointed to the void, and countless energies converged, forming a simple drizzle pattern in mid-air.

"What kind of profound mystery are you currently comprehending?" the Nine Swords Venerable asked.

"This kind!" Yang Wu pointed to the profound mystery he was currently comprehending.

Among the 27 newly appeared mysteries in the second picture, there is no order of precedence, so Yang Wu is not worried about the Nine Swords Venerable discovering the flaw in his hidden insights.

Upon seeing Yang Wu's choice, the Nine Swords Venerable waved his hand, and nine flying swords appeared in mid-air.

"I will demonstrate all the mysteries of the second diagram of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele before you. After you have fully comprehended this diagram, I will demonstrate the third diagram for you!"

After the Nine Swords Venerable finished speaking, the nine flying swords in mid-air immediately began to move, completely activating the fundamental laws of the universe.

Yang Wu was completely absorbed in it, and various insights kept popping into his mind.

At the beginning, the nine flying swords practiced the nine most basic mysteries from the first picture, which were contained in the second picture.

Yang Wu had already fully grasped the meaning of the first picture, so he could easily understand and master it.

However, as the nine flying swords continued to practice, Yang Wu found it somewhat difficult to watch.

When the flying sword began to demonstrate the mysteries that Yang Wu had not yet mastered, Yang Wu could no longer understand it at all. He could only barely remember the flying sword's flight trajectory so that he could slowly comprehend it later.

Once the second picture was fully rehearsed, the nine flying swords stopped and then disappeared.

Yang Wu, however, remained immersed in his thoughts, showing no signs of waking up, with scenes constantly flashing through his mind.

There were insights gained from the simulator, insights gained from studying the Chaos Stele, the scene of fighting the guardian of the seventh level of the Bridge to Heaven, plus the profound mysteries demonstrated by the Nine Swords Venerable with his flying sword just now...

Many insights came together and corroborated each other.

As numerous doubts were gradually resolved, Yang Wu eventually fully comprehended this new mystery without even realizing it.

But when Yang Wu wanted to continue to comprehend the next profound mystery, he didn't know where to begin!

His accumulated experience has been exhausted, and it is unlikely that he will make such amazing progress again in a short period of time.

After finishing his comprehension, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder countless geniuses are rushing to join the Virtual Universe Company! The advantages here are far greater than cultivating alone!"

In the previous simulations, Yang Wu's progress was slower than that of Uka and others after he first joined the Virtual Universe Company. Even though he had a greater advantage at the beginning, he fell behind a bit when he left Chaos City.

However, when Yang Wu entered Chaos City for the second time, he became a disciple of the Immortal King Feng Wang in the first year. Even though he was on the path of studying the essence of spatial laws, his progress was almost the same as that of Uka and others.

In the third simulation, Yang Wu's progress was even faster. Even when studying the more difficult essence of the 27 spatial laws, his progress was still astonishing.

Only now did Yang Wu understand the real reason. It was because his new teacher at the time was the Universe Venerable.

With insights from the Chaos Stele, guidance from the teacher, and a wealth of knowledge, how could one not progress quickly?

"Yang Wu!" The voice of the Nine Swords Venerable rang in Yang Wu's mind.

Yang Wu immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly said respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"

"Did you gain anything?" the Nine Swords Venerable asked with a smile.

"I am fortunate to have grasped the profound mystery I was trying to comprehend!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

"Hmm, not bad!" Nine Swords Venerable nodded with a smile.

Just now, when the Nine Swords Venerable was demonstrating the profound mystery that Yang Wu was comprehending, he deliberately slowed down. Given Yang Wu's talent, it's not surprising that he was able to comprehend it.

"but……"

The Nine Swords Venerable continued, "Yang Wu, you are currently only at the Hengxing level. Even I, your teacher, cannot violate the rules of the Virtual Universe Company for cultivating geniuses. At this stage, apart from guiding your cultivation, I cannot offer you any other assistance. Do you understand?"

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu quickly replied.

Perhaps a few resources casually offered by the Nine Swords Venerable would surpass all of Yang Wu's gains at the Universe and Domain Lord levels. However, such a comfortable environment cannot cultivate true powerhouses.

In the original work, even when the True King helped Luo Feng purchase the secret technique, it was after Luo Feng was preparing to cultivate directly to the level of World Lord.

Furthermore, the treasure bestowed upon Yang Wu by Venerable Lei Ming after accepting him as a disciple is only available if Yang Wu breaks through to the Immortal realm.

Hearing Yang Wu's words, the Nine Swords Venerable nodded in satisfaction and said again, "Yang Wu, what you have comprehended is the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele.' With the points you received from the Genius Battle, and the large number of points you just accumulated after passing the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge, you can easily purchase the first three volumes of 'Time and Space Notes' from the treasure vault!"

"This book, 'Notes on Time and Space,' was written by the creator of the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele.' The many secret methods recorded within are quite profound and can completely help you comprehend the Nine Universes Chaos Stele more quickly!"

"Random Thoughts on Time and Space"?

After learning that he had chosen the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele," Yang Wu had already planned to buy the "Time and Space Notes." And of course, there was also the "Blood Flowing" technique that Luo Feng had initially cultivated!

"Yes, teacher!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

"besides……"

With a wave of his hand, the Nine Swords Venerable summoned the names of more than ten secret manuals in mid-air.

"These manuals are foundational techniques created by some of the most outstanding geniuses in the Nine Universes School. Although they aren't expensive, they are top-tier among foundational techniques and will greatly help you in your research on the essence of spatial laws. You may consider purchasing a few!"

"Among these, the 'Blazing Flames' secret technique is most suitable for you. After purchasing it, you can go to the rooftop of cultivation facility number 0290023671, where you'll find some inscriptions left by the original creator of the 'Blazing Flames' secret technique!"

"I understand, teacher," Yang Wu quickly replied.

At the same time, Yang Wu secretly felt lucky. Among the more than ten secret manuals displayed by the Nine Swords Venerable, Luo Feng's "Blood Flowing" was among them, but the one most suitable for Yang Wu was "Blazing Flames".

And that is the importance of having a good teacher!

The Nine Swords Venerable nodded and said, "Then you may step down!"

"I will be leaving Chaos City shortly. If you encounter any questions in the future, you can find me in the virtual universe. I have already granted you access to my palace on Thunder Island; you can simply teleport there!"

"I hope that by the time you leave Chaos City thirty years from now, you will have fully comprehended the second 'Drizzle' painting!"

As soon as the Nine Swords Venerable finished speaking, the voice of the auxiliary AI Crimson Flame rang in Yang Wu's mind, reminding him that he had obtained new teleportation privileges.

"This disciple takes his leave."

Yang Wu bowed respectfully and then slowly left the residence of the Nine Swords Venerable.

Thank you to reader i阿晨 for the 20000 points reward. An extra chapter will be coming up later.
