Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 236 News from Qian Shui (Updated on October 5th)

After fusing the third Blood Crystal, Yang Wu began attempting to fuse the fourth Blood Crystal.

Unfortunately, the fourth Blood Crystal failed before it was even halfway fused together.

However, Yang Wu was not discouraged, after all, he had only been in this ancient god ruin for a little over a year.

Luo Feng's human body had spent decades in the ruins of the ancient gods, which allowed him to fuse three Blood Crystals and become a Blood Warrior.

"Continue your intensive training!"

Yang Wu soon resumed his secluded cultivation.

……

While using the malevolent energy within the ruins of the ancient god to alter his body, Yang Wu was also constantly comprehending and studying the laws.

With the aid of the Blood Luo Power, Yang Wu's perception of the laws became clearer, and his cultivation speed was much faster than before.

Yang Wu also frequently attends public lectures by those who have been granted the title of Immortal King or even the Venerable One of the Universe in the virtual universe.

With the aid of "Time and Space Notes" and many other basic secret techniques, plus the rainstorm diagram left by the Nine Swords Venerable when he guided Yang Wu, Yang Wu's cultivation speed was not much slower than when he was in Chaos City.

Every now and then, Yang Wu would occasionally try to fuse with the Blood Crystal.

Unfortunately, each time a Blood Crystal is fused, the physical requirements increase more than tenfold. Therefore, Yang Wu was unable to successfully fuse a fourth Blood Crystal in a short period of time.

……

Comprehend the fundamental laws, study the mysteries of secret methods, and temper your mind.

Throughout the long years, Yang Wu has continuously improved and perfected himself.

In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed.

……

"Hahaha! We finally succeeded!"

In the virtual universe, in Manor No. 114 of the Primitive Zone of Yuxiang Mountain, Yang Wu stood in his training ground, extremely excited.

Nearly ten years after leaving Chaos City, with the help of many precious secret techniques and the guidance of the Nine Swords Venerable, and with his significantly improved perception of the fundamental laws after becoming a Blood Warrior, Yang Wu finally comprehended the 37th essence of the spatial laws.

This is also one of the 72 most difficult-to-understand essential aspects of the laws of space.

In fact, Yang Wu had already comprehended the 37th essence under the guidance of the Nine Swords Venerable when he first left Chaos City, but it was only today that Yang Wu truly understood the essence of the 37th space.

"I had grasped this essence long ago, but I never expected it would take me nearly ten years to understand it. Could it be that my talent hasn't improved at all?" Yang Wu couldn't help but think to himself.

In fact, Yang Wu's idea was completely wrong.

Has your talent not improved?

How is that possible?

The peerless genius who created the "Bloodstained" secret technique, Lian Luo, was directly named "Blood-Clad Marquis" upon achieving immortality. At the Realm Lord level, it took him three thousand years in Chaos City to comprehend the essence of 108 spaces.

Even a genius like Luo Feng spent over a hundred years in Chaos City when he was at the World Lord level, comprehending the 72 most profound spatial essences.

It should be noted that the comprehension speed of a World Lord-level being far surpasses that of a Universe-level or Domain Lord-level being.

Although Yang Wu comprehended the 37th essence this time because he studied the Nine Universes Chaos Stele before leaving Chaos City and later received detailed guidance from a Space Venerable, his comprehension is still extremely astonishing, as he was able to comprehend one of the 72 most difficult spatial essences in such a short time.

The reason it took so long is entirely because these 72 spatial essences are just too difficult to understand!

Even the most exceptional geniuses, who could spend a thousand epochs of their lifespan at the World Lord level, would never be able to comprehend all 108 essential aspects of the laws of space.

Among these 108 spatial essences, the most valuable are undoubtedly the 72 new essences that appeared in the third rainstorm map.

"There won't be any more Nine Universe Chaos Steles for me to study next, and the teacher's guidance is only most effective the first time. The effect of watching it later will definitely not be as great as the first time! I wonder how long it will take to comprehend all 108 essences of the spatial laws?" Yang Wu sighed inwardly.

In fact, given Yang Wu's current talent, even without the opportunity to comprehend the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, and without any other fortuitous encounters, it would take him over ten thousand years to fully grasp the 72 most difficult essences!

Moreover, the ten thousand years mentioned here refers to the time spent at the cosmic level and domain lord level. If Yang Wu can break through to the realm lord level, a few hundred years should be enough!

Such talent far surpasses that of Lian Luo, who created the "Blood Flowing" secret technique.

Of course, although Yang Wu muttered to himself, he was quite happy inside.

Peeping into the essence of the fundamental laws of the universe is already incredibly difficult, and these final 72 essences are even more difficult.

And now, Yang Wu has clearly stepped through this last door!

"Hmm? There's an email?"

Yang Wu suddenly received three emails in quick succession, sent by Jiang Mo, a genius from the Primordial Secret Realm who was in the same year as Yang Wu.

"Jiang Mo's email?" Yang Wu curiously opened the email and found that Jiang Mo wanted to meet him in the public area of ​​Yuxiang Mountain.

……

Yuxiang Mountain, public area, Rongzhuang Hotel.

Yang Wu, dressed in all black, appeared in a private room.

"Yang Wu!" Jiang Mo's anxious voice rang out from inside the private room, "You've finally arrived!"

"Jiang Mo, why are you in such a hurry to contact me, sending three emails in a row? Is something the matter?" Yang Wu asked with a smile.

Having just grasped the 37th essence of the laws of space, he was indeed in a good mood.

"It's really urgent!" Jiang Mo said anxiously.

Ever since Qian Shui and Yang Wu started cultivating on the rooftop of a residence in Chaos City, Jiang Mo felt uneasy.

Jiang Mo rationally understood that it was perfectly normal for his younger sister to fall in love with someone. Moreover, Yang Wu's talent was extraordinary, making him an excellent candidate.

But when Jiang Mo saw his younger sister Qian Shui, who had been cultivating with him for many years, getting close to Yang Wu in Chaos City, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Therefore, during this period of time, Jiang Mo, who had previously gotten along quite well with Yang Wu, rarely contacted Yang Wu anymore.

"What is it?" Yang Wu asked with a smile.

"It's related to Qianshui!" Jiang Mo quickly said.

"Qian Shui?" Yang Wu exclaimed in surprise, and quickly asked, "What happened to Qian Shui?"

Not counting his experiences in the simulator, Yang Wu is only in his eighties now, but he has spent thirty years in Chaos City.

Yang Wu spent more time with Qian Shui in Chaos City than with anyone else, including his family.

Therefore, even though Yang Wu and Qian Shui did not have a confirmed relationship, Qian Shui was very special to Yang Wu.

"Isn't it all because of you, Yang Wu?" Jiang Mo said with a wry smile.

"Because of me?" Yang Wu asked, puzzled.

"Of course!" Jiang Mo said, "After we came out of Chaos City, the eight of us from the Primordial Zone went to the Primordial Secret Realm under the protection of the Meteor King. The members in the Primordial Secret Realm were quite far apart, so Qian Shui and I separated."

"After cultivating for a while, we both started taking on cultivation missions. Qian Shui and I initially chose the difficult-level missions. Although the mortality rate for these missions wasn't too high, they were still a considerable challenge for both of us. After all, we don't have Yang Wu's heaven-defying comprehension!"

"However, just a few days ago, after completing a difficult-level mission, Qian Shui immediately accepted the dangerous-level 'Blood Luo World' mission! The mortality rate for dangerous-level missions is as high as 50%. Although Qian Shui has some trump cards bestowed upon her by her teacher, the possibility of encountering danger is still very high!"

"This..." Yang Wu was stunned.

Yang Wu knew without Mo continuing that Qian Shui's arrival in the Blood Luo World was definitely because of him.

"I tried to persuade Qianshui to abandon the mission, but she ignored me! Later I learned that you had already gone to the Blood Luo World years ago!" Jiang Mo sighed, "Yang Wu, you and Qianshui spent so much time together in Chaos City, you should know her very well. I hope you won't let her get into danger!"

Yang Wu nodded very seriously and assured him, "Jiang Mo, don't worry, I will definitely bring Qian Shui safely to the Blood Luo World!"

In that instant, Yang Wu thought of the thirty years he had spent with Qian Shui, of some of the things Qian Shui had said, and of the kiss before they parted...

……

Soon, Yang Wu contacted Qian Shui in the virtual universe.

At this moment, Qian Shui had only just arrived in the void outside the Blood Luo World in reality.

Although the Blood Luo World is located within the Primordial Secret Realm, Qian Shui still needs to make some preparations before heading there.

After obtaining Qian Shui's coordinates, Yang Wu quickly soared into the sky and flew to the void above the Blood Luo World.

An hour later, Yang Wu finally saw the familiar silver-white E-class spaceship.

The spaceship hatch opened, and Yang Wu flew straight inside.

"Yang Wu!"

"A thousand waters!"

After exchanging greetings, the two fell silent.

Qian Shui lowered her head and quietly looked at the Blood Luo Continent below through the exterior simulation, waiting for Yang Wu to speak.

Looking at the serene figure before him, Yang Wu felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Even when facing a World Lord-level expert, Yang Wu dared to fight him, but his feelings towards Qian Shui were somewhat complicated.

The two cultivated together in Chaos City for thirty years. When they parted ways, as long as Yang Wu wasn't a blockhead, he could sense Qian Shui's feelings.

Moreover, Yang Wu also had some feelings for Qian Shui. But that was precisely why he was somewhat at a loss.

Yang Wu has lived two lives and experienced countless years in the time simulator, but this is the first time he has ever fallen in love with someone.

"Qianshui!" After a long silence, Yang Wu finally smiled and asked, "How have you been these past few days?"

Qian Shui looked up at Yang Wu and smiled, "I've been doing well lately! Although the Primordial Secret Realm can't compare to the Primal Secret Realm where you are, it's still better than the place I lived on Planet Augustus."

"Furthermore, I've also been accepted as a disciple by Master Jianhuang Wang. With his guidance, although my progress during this period can't compare to yours, Yang Wu, it's still quite remarkable!"

Qian Shui's words made Yang Wu feel much more relaxed.

"And you?" Qian Shui asked with a smile, "Yang Wu, you arrived in this Blood Luo World quite a while ago. How have you been these past few days?"

"I'm fine too!"

Looking back on his experiences over the years, Yang Wu realized that although the time was short, he had gained a great deal.

The story of Norwich's revenge, the magic of the Blood Crystal, and his secluded cultivation in the ruins of the ancient god... Scenes flashed through Yang Wu's mind, and he shared all of these things with Qian Shui.

Qian Shui sat quietly beside Yang Wu, listening to every word he said.
