The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace in the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 7 Breakthrough in Comprehension

The Venerable Ancestral Tree said, "Brother Heavenly Eclipse, it's so much more comfortable talking with you. I don't even want to leave. But I won't disturb your seclusion any longer. I wish you a speedy breakthrough to the level of a Universe Lord!"

Li Yang laughed and said, "Thank you for your kind words, brother. I also wish you a speedy breakthrough!"

After saying that, the Ancestral Tree Venerable's enormous divine body instantly vanished.

"This exchange with the Ancestral Tree has been very rewarding. It seems it's time for me to go into seclusion and digest what I've learned. Before that, I need to make proper arrangements for my disciples and clan."

"Little Purple, I'm going back into seclusion. Please keep an eye on the clan and the Blood Luo World for me. Also, please summon my eldest disciple, Edgar, to come over."

Little Purple pouted and said, "Master, all you ever do is go into seclusion to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate some more. I thought that after 2000 years of relaxation, things would change, but I didn't expect you to go into seclusion again! Humph!"

"I've already notified Edgar, and he's coming right away."

Hearing Xiao Zi's complaints, Li Yang adopted a fatherly tone, "Xiao Zi, although your master is already a cosmic overlord, there are many stronger than me. I want to protect my race and also see a bigger world. I still need to work harder!"

Edgar, the eldest disciple of Tianshi, has been with Tianshi for a very long time. When he first became Tianshi's disciple, Edgar was only at the Universe level! It was the Palace Master of Tianshi who nurtured Edgar from the Universe level to his current Venerable realm. The two are as close as father and son.

Therefore, Edgar would obey Eclipse's orders without hesitation, even at the cost of his own life.

"Xiao Ai, I'm going into seclusion for a while. I promised Shi Hua that I would preach to the clansmen from time to time. I'll leave this to you. Just take some time every 1000 years to go and preach once."

"Okay, teacher! I'll be there on time." Edgar accepted the task.

"Okay, I trust you to handle things. Please call the second brother into the virtual universe for me. I also have something to tell him."

Soon, the second brother, Beckley, also arrived in the exclusive dimension of the Eclipse Palace Master.

"Second brother, I'm going into seclusion for a while. I need you to keep an eye on the cultivation of your four junior brothers and your junior sister. Especially your junior sister Qin Yun, she's already at the peak of the King-Sealing stage and could break through to the Venerable realm at any time. If she encounters any difficulties, you need to give her some guidance in time."

"Yes, teacher, I promise to complete the task you assigned!" Beckley replied respectfully.

After settling some trivial matters, Li Yang began to devote himself entirely to seclusion. Time also passed quickly.

Soon, 10.4 epochs had passed. This was considered a relatively long period of time for Li Yang since he came to the Devouring World. However, as a top-tier cosmic overlord, the passage of time did not feel long to Li Yang.

Li Yang was immersed in the joy of his continuously growing comprehension, the rapid progress in creating secret techniques, and the constant increase in his strength. In the past 100 epochs, he had experienced too much frustration and stagnation in his strength; in these 10 epochs of cultivation, Li Yang felt only boundless motivation!

Undoubtedly, as his comprehension continued to grow, Li Yang felt that creating secret techniques was becoming increasingly simple. At the same time, his perception of the various laws in the universe was becoming clearer and clearer.

During this 10.4th era, Li Yang created several ultimate secret techniques for Universe Lords, even creating the strongest one, which he named "Brilliant Light Seal." With this technique, Li Yang's divine power avatar, Snow Moon Tree, had already reached the threshold of a third-tier Universe Lord. His other two avatars had also steadily advanced to the strength of a first-tier Universe Lord.

During this period, Kong Ze, who won first place in the first Cosmic Peak Genius Battle, was fortunate enough to choose the Guangyu Tongtian Bridge created by the Lord of Tianshi Palace within the thirty years of the initial universe. He successfully passed the fifth level of the Guangyu Tongtian Bridge and was accepted as a disciple by Fred, the third disciple of Li Yang.

The next nine sessions were each led by one of the Venerable Disciples of the Heavenly Eclipse Sect in turn. However, the winners of these peak genius battles all stopped at the third or fourth level in the thirty years of the initial universe, displaying limited talent, and therefore could no longer attract Li Yang's attention. Li Yang didn't even know their names.

Time continues to pass—

On this very day, Li Yang felt as if a shackle had suddenly been broken. His talent suddenly rose to a new level, and the bottleneck of the Time Law, which he could never comprehend no matter how hard he pondered, suddenly became imperceptible. Comprehending the pinnacle secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe was no longer difficult. The ultimate secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe, which he had once spent a great deal of effort to create, were now practically within Li Yang's grasp.

Li Yang quickly activated his system, which he hadn't opened in a long time: "System, open my personal panel!"

Name: Li Yang (Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace)

Current strength: Top-tier cosmic overlord (second-tier cosmic master)

Willpower: Peak of the Universe Master (Mental breakthrough leads to an enhancement of willpower)

Insights into the laws: 100% for the law of space, 99.5% for the law of time.

Arcane Technique: The Supreme Arcane Technique of the Lord of the Universe

Current comprehension: 1000000001/10 billion (True God level)

Currently under his command: Venerable Ones (5 in total)

Comprehension increase rate: +10 points/day

The latest novel is first published here!

To Li Yang's surprise, after his comprehension broke through to one billion, his comprehension level did not rise to the genius level he had originally thought it was, which was only seen once every ten billion epochs. Instead, it directly rose from the comprehension level that was only seen once every one hundred million epochs to the level of a true god.

As the name suggests, it seems that this level of comprehension can guarantee one's attainment of the True God level, which is what the original universe referred to as being one level above the Lord of the Universe—the strongest being in the universe.

However, with such comprehension, breaking through to the realm of the strongest being in the universe might take a very long time. Perhaps only before the primordial universe is destroyed will he have a chance to become the weakest strongest being in the universe, relying on his comprehension that has just stepped into the threshold of true godhood.

This is definitely not what Li Yang wanted! Now that he has the system, he's going to become the strongest being in the universe!

Meanwhile, Li Yang discovered that the system's comprehension increase rate was still 10 points per day, indicating that breakthroughs in comprehension had no impact on the comprehension increase rate. Currently, it seems to be only linked to the number of powerful individuals under his command.

Meanwhile, the system didn't issue any rewards. Li Yang had been hoping for a breakthrough in his comprehension level, with the system awarding him a powerful treasure or something similar as a milestone. It seemed he was overthinking it. It appeared that even breaking through to the level of a Universe Lord wouldn't earn him any rewards from the system. Only a breakthrough in the number of powerful subordinates and a significant increase in comprehension speed would trigger any rewards.

Li Yang pondered silently. It seemed that breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe and then recruiting Venerables as his subordinates was an urgent matter.

Although my strength has improved, there's no need to challenge the cosmic masters of opposing races to demonstrate my power. My main goal now is to fully comprehend the laws of time and break through to the cosmic master level as soon as possible.
