Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 288 The Fusion Law of "Golden Void"

In front of a golden tower hundreds of kilometers high, at the sacred site of the Golden Horn Tribe.

At this moment, several members of the Golden Horn Clan were inside the tower studying the sacred stele.

Sudden--

Rumble...

With a loud bang, the nearly 1,000-meter-high gate of the golden tower slowly opened.

"Come out!"

"Come out!"

A deep voice echoed continuously inside the tower, startling several powerful members of the Golden Horn Clan who were meditating in the tower.

"What's going on? We should still have three days to meditate!"

"I don't know, let's go out and see!"

Several Golden Horn tribesmen emerged from the golden tower, puzzled, with a hint of annoyance on their faces.

No one would be happy to be interrupted when they are meditating on the laws, especially since they have three days to meditate.

The Golden Horn Clan members had just emerged from the Holy Stele Tower when they were met by a group of people walking towards them. The leader of the group was a young human wearing dark gold armor.

"It's human!"

"A ninth-tier Domain Lord—that human genius who came to the Holy City decades ago!"

"What bad luck! I never expected to run into this human trying to decipher the sacred monument!"

"Yes, we estimate that we will have to wait until the other party finishes comprehending the sacred stele before we can continue our study."

"Well, what can you do when the other party is human? Who knows how long this human genius will take to enter the Holy Stele Tower?"

Just as the Golden Horn Clan members were discussing amongst themselves, a tall figure shrouded in ancient black armor, with purple eyes and dark red skin, appeared before Yang Wu and the others.

Beside this tall figure was a giant blade more than three meters long, and the whole person exuded an incomparably sharp aura.

The astonishing pressure emanating from it was even greater than that of Terafan Ki, who was standing next to Yang Wu.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, I am the guardian of the Sacred Stele Tower!" The tall voice said in a deep tone, "You have one year to study the Sacred Stele of my Golden Horn Clan. Go in!"

Yang Wu nodded, then asked, "Guardian, I wonder if my teacher, Marquis Jin Guang, can come in with me?"

It wasn't that Yang Wu was greedy; it was simply that the Golden Horn Clan's sacred stele was of great help to Marquis Jin Guang.

During the years that Yang Wu was in seclusion, Jin Guanghou had already used his opportunity to comprehend the sacred stele.

In just one month of comprehension, Jin Guanghou's understanding of the laws improved from the initial level of Marquis to the advanced level.

Yang Wu was naturally very happy that Jin Guanghou was making such an amazing progress.

Since Yang Wu became his disciple, Jin Guanghou has been constantly helping him.

Previously, when facing assassination attempts by powerful alien races, Jin Guanghou did not hesitate to burn his immortal divine power.

How could he not repay the kindness shown to him by the Marquis of Jinguang?

It's just that we owe the Golden Horn Clan another favor. Besides, since Marquis Jin Guang and Yang Wu entered together, they didn't take up any extra time to study the sacred stele, so the Golden Horn Clan suffered no loss at all.

"Your Highness Yang Wu!" the guardian of the Holy Monument's deep voice rang out, "I'm sorry, my orders were only for you to enter the Holy Monument Tower alone!"

"If Your Highness wishes for this immortal deity to enter as well, you will need to request the elders again!"

If anyone else made such a request, the guardian of the holy monument would simply ignore it.

However, Yang Wu had been in the sacred land of the Golden Horn Clan for decades. The guardian of the sacred monument, whose strength and status in the Golden Horn Clan were second only to the elders, had already found out about Yang Wu's origins. Naturally, he would not treat Yang Wu like he would treat others.

If he could decide the qualifications for comprehending the Sacred Stele, he probably would have allowed Marquis Jin Guang to enter the Sacred Stele Tower with Yang Wu.

"Yang Wu!"

At the same time, Jin Guanghou's voice rang out: "Since this opportunity for enlightenment has been given to you by the elders of the Golden Horn Clan, you may go in by yourself!"

"Teacher, my progress in comprehending the Golden Horn Clan's sacred monument was astonishing, but that was simply because I had accumulated a lot of knowledge beforehand!"

Marquis Jin Guang explained, "But I just finished studying the Sacred Stele not long ago, so going in to study it again wouldn't be very effective!"

Jin Guanghou did not tell the whole truth.

In fact, even if his previous accumulation had been exhausted, the speed of his comprehension in front of the sacred monument was still much faster than during his usual cultivation. How could it not be of little effect?

When Yang Wu first asked for the guardian of the sacred monument, Jin Guanghou was indeed somewhat tempted.

Now that he knew the guardian of the sacred monument couldn't make the decision, Marquis Jin Guang naturally didn't want his disciple to go looking for the elders of the Golden Horn Clan and incur a favor, leaving a greedy image in the hearts of the Golden Horn Clan.

After all, even if the Golden Horn Clan had high hopes for Yang Wu's future, it was still inappropriate for Yang Wu to ask for help repeatedly.

"Alright!" Yang Wu nodded and then walked directly into the Holy Stele Tower.

……

As soon as Yang Wu entered the Holy Stele Tower, he felt a bone-chilling cold assail him, and even when he breathed, he could feel the extremely low temperature seeping into his body.

Yang Wu continued forward along the dark passage and soon arrived at a vast hall.

In the center of this vast hall stands a majestic crystal, the sacred monument of the Golden Horned Clan left behind by the cosmic overlord Herodo.

The entire monument is composed of a light green crystal, and is about 300 meters high, 100 meters wide, and about 50 meters thick.

Unlike the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, this Golden Horn Clan sacred stele is only engraved with an extremely bizarre demonic pattern, like a humanoid demon roaring.

"A demon roaring image?"

For a moment, Yang Wu's entire consciousness was involuntarily drawn to the demonic image.

Rumble!!

When Yang Wu's consciousness was absorbed into the demonic diagram, it was as if he saw an endless starry sky, with countless cosmic stars evolving, a truly wondrous sight.

……

Within the inner world.

Yang Wu's Yan Shen Clan avatar also sat cross-legged there, constantly sensing the fluctuations of the universe's metal law and spatial law.

With two clones working together to comprehend the truth, Yang Wu's comprehension efficiency was naturally greatly improved.

And so, Yang Wu continued his comprehension within the Sacred Stele Tower, eager and thirsty, not daring to waste a single moment of his time.

One day, two days...

One month, two months...

Time keeps passing by.

……

In the Holy City, within the Holy Land, in an ancient cultivation dwelling, Jin Guanghou, Si Fanqi, Field, and others all reside.

Inside the living room of their cultivation residence, Si Fanqi was exchanging insights into the laws with Jin Guanghou.

To be precise, it was Terafan Ki who took the opportunity to instruct Jin Guanghou.

As the teacher of Yang Wu, a peerless genius, Jin Guanghou was highly regarded by Si Fanqi.

However, the scene that happened in front of the Holy Stele Tower before further increased Jin Guanghou's importance in Si Fanqi's heart.

Si Fanqi was absolutely certain that if Jin Guanghou hadn't refused to enter the Holy Stele Tower, Yang Wu would definitely have helped him plead with the elders, but in the end, Jin Guanghou took the initiative to refuse.

This shows that the master-disciple relationship between Yang Wu and Jin Guanghou must have been extremely close.

Jin Guanghou is an immortal in the Qianwu Universe, and the Jinjiao Clan also lives within the Qianwu Universe. Si Fanqi naturally wants to maintain a good relationship with Jin Guanghou.

That's why we have this scene in the living room right now.

Because of Herodo's existence, many powerful members of the Golden Horn Clan have comprehended the two fundamental laws of gold and emptiness.

Furthermore, Terafan Qi was a peak-level King-level expert who had mastered the ability of teleportation, so he naturally had a lot of ease in instructing a Marquis-level immortal like Jin Guanghou.

In just six months, Jin Guanghou benefited greatly.

On this day, just as Si Fanqi and Jin Guanghou were exchanging their insights on the laws, they suddenly sensed the appearance of a powerful aura.

"Um?"

Jin Guanghou and Si Fanqi turned their heads to look at the same time.

"It's the Holy Stele Tower!" the two exclaimed simultaneously.

In the distance, the towering monument, hundreds of kilometers high, was now shrouded in an extremely powerful aura of law, with countless golden runes constantly flowing and golden light radiating from it.

In an instant, the entire Holy Stele Tower shone brilliantly, and the surrounding area was filled with heart-palpitating fluctuations of primordial laws.

"The Origin of Gold has descended!" Terafan Qi exclaimed in surprise. "At this moment, only the Guardian and Prince Yang Wu are inside the Holy Stele Tower. The Guardian has already comprehended the Law of Gold, and without a doubt, it is Prince Yang Wu who has gained the recognition of the Origin of Gold's Law!"

"Yes!" Jin Guanghou smiled as well.

Yang Wu was indeed very happy that he was able to gain something inside the Holy Stele Tower.

"The recognition of the fundamental law of metal?" Kashna, who had been following Terafan Ki, was filled with shock. "Shouldn't His Highness Yang Wu specialize in the law of fire?"

When he first met Yang Wu, the flame mark between Yang Wu's eyebrows surprised him quite a bit.

"Indeed!" Terafan Ki exclaimed in utter astonishment, gazing at the distant Holy Stele Tower. "I never imagined that Prince Yang Wu possessed such astonishing talent in the Fundamental Laws of Metal!"

Although it is extremely rare for a Domain Lord to be recognized by the Origin Law, Terafan Qi has seen a few.

Even among the many domain lord-level geniuses of the Golden Horn Clan, there is one who has already been recognized by the Golden Origin Law.

Is it possible to obtain recognition of the second fundamental law at the domain master level?

Teraban Ki had never even heard of it!

……

The Holy Land is teeming with powerful individuals, and it is not uncommon for these powerful figures to gain recognition from the fundamental laws. Therefore, the powerful individuals in the Holy Land are already accustomed to such occurrences.

But today, all these powerful figures watched this scene in astonishment.

As many people know, there is only one Domain Lord-level human comprehending the Sacred Stele inside the tower at this time.

"Has that Domain Lord-level human genius been recognized by the laws?"

"So fast!"

"A ninth-level Domain Lord can gain the recognition of the Origin Laws, that's impressive!"

Many cultivators within the holy land looked up towards the direction of the Holy Stele Tower.

As for the powerful individuals who had seen the flame mark between Yang Wu's eyebrows, they found it even more unbelievable.

……

Inside the Holy Stele Tower.

Yang Wu sat cross-legged silently before the majestic, pale green sacred stele, continuing to study its meaning.

As the surrounding space trembled slightly, a drop of golden water appeared out of thin air above Yang Wu's head.

Tick ​​tock!

The golden droplets fell, penetrating directly into Yang Wu's body and finally landing on his primordial core.

now--

Yang Wu officially received the recognition of the fundamental law of metal.

After the golden droplet was completely absorbed by the primordial core, a golden sword mark appeared between Yang Wu's eyebrows.

"I never expected to gain the recognition of the fundamental law of metal?"

Yang Wu smiled slightly, but didn't seem to care too much.

He had already gained recognition from the fundamental laws of fire when he was at the cosmic level, so he was not too surprised at this time.

Moreover, given his experience of tens of thousands of years in the simulation, although he didn't place too much emphasis on comprehending the Law of Gold, his initial comprehension of the Golden Horn Clan's Sacred Stele, coupled with the accumulation over the subsequent tens of thousands of years, makes it unsurprising that he gained the recognition of the Origin Law when he comprehended the Golden Horn Clan's Sacred Stele again.

"However, the recognition of the fundamental law of metal will greatly help my subsequent comprehension!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

After a brief moment of distraction, Yang Wu quickly immersed himself in his contemplation again.

……

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, your meditation time is up. You should come out now!" The deep voice of the guardian of the Holy Stele Tower echoed in Yang Wu's mind.

"call!"

Yang Wu was jolted awake from his reverie, his consciousness detaching from the Golden Horn Clan's sacred monument.

With a reluctant look at the sacred monument, Yang Wu turned and left, heading towards the exit along the path he had come from.

Rumble!!

The tall tower gate slowly opened, letting in the light from outside. Yang Wu walked outside.

"Yang Wu!"

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness Yang Wu!"

Jin Guanghou, Si Fanqi, and others had already been waiting outside the tower gate.

After Yang Wu appeared, Terafan Qi looked at the golden sword mark between his brows and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on gaining recognition from the fundamental law of metal!"

"The fundamental law of metal is acknowledged?" Yang Wu chuckled to himself.

If this had happened before the simulation, Yang Wu's gains after comprehending the Golden Horn Clan's Sacred Stele Tower would naturally have been something to be happy about.

However, since Terabaki and the others witnessed the arrival of the fundamental law of metal, they naturally believed that he had made great progress in the path of the law of metal.

In reality, Yang Wu made even more astonishing gains during the year he spent studying the Sacred Stele Tower.

That is--

They have crossed the threshold of the "Gold and Void" fusion principle.

The path to integrating the laws is extremely difficult; even just getting started is probably many times more difficult than comprehending the 108 essential aspects of the laws of space.

However, after the last simulation, Yang Wu had already comprehended the first level of the fusion law of 'fire and space', and his understanding of the law of space had surpassed his progress in the path of the Beast God by a considerable margin.

Herodo, the cosmic overlord, cultivated the 'Gold and Void' fusion law, and the sacred monument he left behind naturally greatly aids in comprehending the 'Gold and Void' fusion law.

Yang Wu himself possessed an extremely high level of cultivation, and with the fusion of the 'Fire and Void' laws and the reference of the Golden Horn Clan's sacred stele, he was able to comprehend the fusion of the 'Gold and Void' laws with great efficiency.

And so, Yang Wu finally crossed the threshold of the "Gold and Void" fusion law within a year.

Although this didn't significantly boost Yang Wu's strength, just like the Law of Metal, crossing the threshold of the 'Metal and Void' fusion law would greatly help him master the complete Law of Chaos in the future.

……

Soon, Yang Wu and the others returned to their cultivation residence.

"Teacher, Elder Sifanqi, Field, I need to meditate for a while to organize my insights from the Holy Stele Tower!"

After saying that, Yang Wu went directly into the quiet room where he had been before.

Yang Wu sat cross-legged in the quiet room, constantly recalling the details of his experience comprehending the Golden Horn Clan's sacred monument. At the same time, a wisp of his consciousness entered the virtual universe and began to verify it in his manor in the Primal Zone.
