Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 251 The Master of the Time Law

Bai Yang told He Qiya everything about his insights and understanding from clearing the first level, as well as his doubts about the second level.

After listening, the other party thought for a moment and said:

"It's good that you can realize that the Bridge to Heaven is guiding you to understand the Dragon's Chaos Stele."

The main reason is that you are too strong in other aspects, and you have forcibly overcome certain difficulties, so your overall strength has surpassed the previous two levels.

No one else can replicate your experience, so you'll only have these doubts after hitting a wall on the third level.

But for most people, the feeling when you first reach the second level is the same as when you encounter the third level.

Bai Yang asked, "Professor He Qiya, are you saying that I haven't understood the second level of the Bridge to Heaven, or even the first level?"

Heqia praised, "That's exactly right."

You've grasped that "intervening in everything" is fundamental, which is true, but you've misunderstood the main point of the first image.

The six "Confrontational Images" in front of the Dragon Soaring Chaos Stele are actually demonstrating the 72 mysteries of the laws of time.

Bai Yang was shocked and hurriedly asked, "The 72 mysteries of the laws of time? What's going on?"

Heqia explained in detail:

"Since you are proficient in the techniques of Duan Mingfeng, you must have some understanding of the seven mysteries of the laws of light."

They should also know the laws of time, but only have two profound mysteries: [stillness] and [change in flow rate].

Then why is the law of time the superior law?

That's because the so-called "mysterious" can be understood as a specific skill.

When you reach a higher level of understanding of the laws, you must analyze and break down the "mysterious" aspects, restoring them to the "profound" nature of the laws, which you can understand as the basic attributes of the laws.

Only through this method can you one day truly understand the essence of the law.

Bai Yang suddenly understood: mystery, wonder, essence—these are actually related in this way!

These are the three manifestations of any law.

Lian Luo used the "Blood Flowing" manual and the 108 sword techniques recorded in his residence to break down the laws of space into 108 profound mysteries.

Therefore, it is only natural that the laws of time possess similar mysteries.

He Qiya did his best and immediately explained the division of the Dragon Chaos Stele to Bai Yang.

It turns out that the Dragon-Riding Chaos Stele is divided into three levels:

The first level consists of the first six "Confrontation Diagrams," each demonstrating 12 mysteries.

The second level consists of the seventh and eighth images.

The seventh image, "Abyss Map," demonstrates the strongest time-related secret technique comprehended by the Dragon Lord.

The river in the eighth image represents the most complete fundamental law of time.

As for the third level, the "line diagram," it is a means of connecting and integrating the fundamental law of time with other laws.

Heqia's explanation of this point was rather vague.

But Bai Yang understood the basic principle behind this: the ability to integrate different laws was the level of a master of the universe.

Every universal master knows that this should be done, but whether they can actually do it is another matter; it cannot be achieved simply by talking about it.

He Qiya told Bai Yang that the original meaning of the Tongtian Bridge was that the second level required one to comprehend a trace of the mystery of the first type of time law.

To pass the third level, one needs to grasp a trace of the essence of the laws of time.

Bai Yang has never seen a transmission that elucidates the mysteries of the laws, so naturally he wouldn't understand the 72 mysteries of time, and he simply doesn't have the foundation to comprehend them.

If you rely on sheer strength to break through the second level, then it's perfectly normal to encounter the third level and suffer heavy losses.

"As for your feeling that the difficulty of the third level is strange, I also have a question for you."

Why aren't you breaking through? Why are you still at the Constant Star level?

Many geniuses in this generation have already broken through to the cosmic level, and the third level has correspondingly increased the hard power of the gatekeepers in response to this.

Luo Feng's breakthrough in mental power to the first level of the universe level made the power of the Divine Weapon even stronger.

But Bai Yang couldn't break through the limit in order to maximize the number of times he could perform the [realistic simulation].

However, now that he knows the problem, he can instantly leave them far behind once he uses [Real Simulation].

"Professor He Qiya, where can I learn about those 72 mysteries of time?"

Heqia laughed and said, "Take it."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and instantly 216 books appeared on the ground of the training ground.

Bai Yang was surprised and quickly picked up the top book to check it.

On the cover of the black book, the two large gold characters "Shi Hang" were clearly visible.

Below that was a line of smaller print that read "Volume One".

"This is a basic manual I created after analyzing the fundamental laws of time, and it is called 'Time Navigation'."

Although every practitioner of the laws of time must take this step, it is the most fundamental of all.

But I am confident that I have made some achievements in this area.

Since you've chosen me as your mentor, here you go and take a look.

"Thank you, Professor He Qiya!"

Bai Yang is truly grateful this time.

He instantly understood why the two Venerable Ones had recommended Heqia.

Luo Feng once thought that Bolan was more terrifying than Lian Luo in terms of spatial talent.

Lian Luo died too early, and his achievements were ultimately limited.

A good understanding of the basic principles does not guarantee ultimate success.

Then Heqia is probably a living [Lianlu] in terms of the laws of time!

This is much better than trying to copy anything from anywhere, and it even eliminates the need to consult a master of a particular school of thought.

How can taking a general course compare to one-on-one tutoring?

"Take the book back first. If you don't understand anything, just come and ask me."

I have written about each of these mysteries in three volumes, which should explain them in great detail.

Bai Yang was very grateful. After putting the entire set of books into the ring, he sent him back to the manor.

Such mentors are truly rare and hard to find.

Bai Yang instructed Lu Ye to treat him well.

He knew in his heart that this favor was extremely significant.

Not only He Qiya himself, but also the Nine Swords Venerable and the mysterious Xue Chen Venerable.

Without their favors, Heqia might not have taken it so seriously.

"I wonder who this Venerable Xuechen is. It's really strange that I can't even find his name."

With this set of "Time Navigation" materials, Bai Yang no longer needs to rush to cross the Tongtian Bridge.

Even the Dragon-Riding Chaos Stele itself, for the sake of maximizing efficiency, will not need to be visited for the time being.

He returned to his study, took out the first volume of "Shihang" and read through its contents extremely quickly.

They immediately discovered many of the secret techniques used by the men in black on the first and second levels of the Tongtian Bridge, and were overjoyed.

"Now that everything is ready, we can go find the Chaos City [Third Treasure]."

It increases comprehension by as much as it can.

Improving one's basic understanding is essential to maximizing the effectiveness of time simulation.

Bai Yang immediately set off, preparing to hunt the Chaos Beast and seize the [Chaos True Spirit] to enhance himself.

He has a little over 8 days left until the deadline for the [realistic simulation].
