Qing Yu sat cross-legged on the sky platform, his thoughts exceptionally clear.
The 18 secret techniques of the first level of "Myriad Tribulations" correspond to the first picture of the universe chaos tablet, progressing in layers, profound and unfathomable.
He had already comprehended the first 12 secret techniques, but before, he only used them in isolation, failing to truly integrate them, which led to his inadequacy when facing the "Time Imprint Cocoon" on the second level of the Tongtian Bridge.
After 60 days of selfless cultivation, he finally assimilated all the insights from his first comprehension of the chaos tablet; not only did he merge the 12 secret techniques, but his space-time laws also improved!
With his current comprehension of laws, if he were to challenge the trial tower from the genius battle again, he would be confident in passing the first two levels of the seventh trial tower!
"The latter six secret techniques are several times more profound than the first 12 combined!" Qing Yu's eyes were calm as he pondered silently.
"However, in this Primordial Chaos City, leveraging the convenience of the external manifestation of the origin laws, I am confident that I can fully comprehend and integrate them within five to six years, thoroughly mastering the first 'Still Water Diagram'!"
Just as he was planning his subsequent cultivation, his intelligent assistant sent a notification: an email had arrived.
Qing Yu opened the email and found that it was from You Meng.
The content was concise: "Qing Yu, do you know about the third treasure of Primordial Chaos City?"
The three treasures of Primordial Chaos City?
Qing Yu certainly knew.
The first treasure was the externally manifested laws of the universe's operation within the Primal Universe.
The second treasure, naturally, was the 52 chaos tablets.
And the third treasure... Qing Yu's gaze narrowed slightly as he replied, "primal chaos spirit?"
You Meng's reply was quick:
"That's right! Hunting Chaotic Beasts and absorbing the primal chaos spirit that dissipates after their death can nourish the soul's origin, subtly enhancing soul strength and affinity for laws. This allows us to comprehend laws with half the effort, saving a lot of time. Do you... want to try it together?"
Nourish the soul, increase law affinity?
Qing Yu's thoughts raced; this was indeed what he needed currently. A stronger soul meant higher comprehension and stronger will. Increasing law affinity would directly accelerate his comprehension of the latter six secret techniques of "Myriad Tribulations" and the chaos tablet.
"The law affinity boosted after absorbing primal chaos spirit... will it enjoy an eightfold talent amplification?!" Qing Yu also wanted to verify his own talent.
"If it can! Then that would be... truly wonderful!"
"Okay, see you outside the city." Qing Yu replied briefly.
A moment later, Qing Yu walked out of the ancient, weathered city gate of Primordial Chaos City. Outside the city, the vast chaotic airflow was even denser, carrying a primitive and wild aura.
A graceful figure was already waiting there; it was You Meng, dressed in a form-fitting purple combat suit that outlined her perfect figure, with a hint of undetectable joy on her exquisitely beautiful face.
"Qing Yu." You Meng came forward, her voice soft.
"You Meng." Qing Yu nodded slightly.
The two walked side by side, the atmosphere somewhat subtle.
You Meng was the first to break the silence, her tone filled with genuine admiration:
"Congratulations on passing the first level of the Tongtian Bridge. You are the only one among us who has passed the first level, and I... haven't even touched the edge of the first level yet."
Her eyes flickered with complex emotions, both admiration for Qing Yu and a hint of sadness at her own lagging progress.
"It was a stroke of luck, coupled with an outburst of insight from the chaos tablet." Qing Yu responded calmly, without any complacency. "I believe you will pass the first level eventually! Keep it up!"
"Mm, I definitely will!" You Meng's tone became firm.
She then turned the conversation back to business, her expression becoming serious: "primal chaos spirit is indeed precious."
"But Chaotic Beasts are extremely dangerous. They have low intelligence but immense power, and their numbers are vast. I've heard that among our batch of geniuses, more than a dozen have already fallen to the claws of Chaotic Beasts due to venturing too deep or being ambushed." She looked at Qing Yu, a hint of warning in her eyes.
Qing Yu nodded, then asked appropriately, "You Meng, do you have a universe spaceship?"
This was crucial; once surrounded by a large number of Chaotic Beasts, it would be extremely dangerous. Having a spaceship to provide aerial support would greatly increase safety.
A flicker of understanding passed through You Meng's eyes, and she nodded, "Yes, it's an F-grade spaceship."
Qing Yu's heart stirred slightly; an F-grade spaceship! It was quite valuable, usually only Immortals could afford one. He also had a spaceship from the Qinglin Clan, but it was only an E-grade, though it was the best in his clan.
"My spaceship is E-grade." Qing Yu stated directly.
"Then let's use my 'Violet Mark'; an F-grade has better speed and defense." You Meng immediately suggested, without any hesitation.
"Okay." Qing Yu agreed; safety first, and an F-grade spaceship was indeed the best choice.
The two quickly reached a consensus, and You Meng waved her hand, summoning the sleek, purple-glowing shuttle-shaped spaceship—the Violet Mark.
Boarding the spaceship, the Violet Mark ascended, flying close to the chaotic airflow layer.
Chaotic Beasts were divided into three zones: Universe Rank, Domain Master, and World Lord Rank.
The Universe Rank Chaotic Beasts were closest to Primordial Chaos City, about 2000 kilometers outside, and were Qing Yu and You Meng's target.
The spaceship traveled through the hazy airflow, and as expected, the detection instruments were severely interfered with, forcing them to rely on eyesight and perception to search for isolated Chaotic Beasts in relatively sparse areas.
"Front-left, in the mountain hollow, there's one!" You Meng's eyes were sharp as she pointed downwards.
Qing Yu gazed intently; a Chaotic Beast resembling a leopard was wandering among jagged, strange rocks.
Its entire body was covered in dark golden scales, its muscles were bulging, its eyes were crimson, and it exuded a violent Universe Rank aura.
"Attack!" Qing Yu low-growled.
The two simultaneously descended from the spaceship, You Meng understanding perfectly, her powerful mental energy instantly erupting!
Several sharp mental energy shuttles transformed into purple light, not attacking vital points, but precisely shooting at the rocks around the leopard Chaotic Beast, creating loud noises and dust!
Roar—!
The leopard Chaotic Beast was startled, its crimson eyes instantly locking onto You Meng behind the dust! Just as the leopard pounced, Qing Yu, who had already been poised, moved!
"Weaving Sky Net!" A massive net of death precisely covered the leopard in its pouncing trajectory!
Chii chii chii—!
The silver threads, imbued with space-time laws, violently collided with the leopard Chaotic Beast's tough dark golden scales! Sparks flew! It actually failed to kill it directly!
Qing Yu's thoughts stirred, and the massive light net instantly collapsed inwards.
"Time Imprint Cocoon!"
Puff puff puff puff!
Countless cutting threads instantly tightened! The leopard Chaotic Beast's tough scales and muscles were finally completely torn apart under the double attack!
Blood mist, accompanied by shattered dark golden scales, exploded! The flesh and scales rapidly decayed and decomposed, transforming into chaotic airflow, and a single emerald green light point floated up from within.
primal chaos spirit!
Qing Yu's mental energy swept, instantly collecting it!
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Almost at the moment these green light points were collected, heart-pounding roars echoed from all directions! Hundreds of Chaotic Beasts of various forms burst out from the chaotic airflow, pouncing madly!
"Retreat!" The two showed no desire to fight, their figures rapidly falling back!
