Chapter 164 The Second Essence: Preparing to Become an Apprentice
The cosmic bridge to heaven, at the end of the third level.
The battle has begun!
"This time, I see right through you. You're nothing special!"
Ye Yang stepped precisely on each spatial fluctuation node, as if he were dancing, while the mental master controller fighting against him manipulated the spacetime divine weapon, twisting and suppressing spacetime time and time again, trying to suppress and crush Ye Yang.
The third level of the Time-Space Divine Weapon forms a three-layered Time-Space Pagoda, which is extremely powerful and can also distort space, creating a mysterious pulling force. If you are not careful, you will be sucked into the bottom of the three-layered pagoda and completely suppressed and crushed!
However, although Ye Yang was still using the third level of "Vacuum Illusion Body", it was fundamentally different from before.
Last time, even with the same third-level movement technique, he couldn't dodge the attacks from the enemies on the third level of the Sky Bridge. But this time, facing the even more difficult-to-avoid spacetime divine weapon, Ye Yang seemed much more relaxed.
The key lies in the essence of space that he has come to understand!
Even Bolan, who has reached the fourth level of movement technique, is not as precise as Ye Yang in adapting to spatial fluctuations.
Precision means greater control and higher efficiency!
"Damn it! Is all you can do is hide?!"
Ye Yang's opponent on the third level of the Sky Bridge manipulated a spacetime weapon, attempting to kill him time and again, but he evaded each attack.
I'm really annoyed.
"Alright, I'll grant your wish!"
Ye Yang suddenly focused his gaze, and a powerful mental force almost instantly pierced through layers of space and time, finding the enemy's true location among the hundreds of illusory bodies created by the flying secret technique!
Boom!
In my mind, it was as if the sky had fallen and a golden sun had descended.
At this moment, Ye Yang's move, the golden sun, not only contained a large amount of insights into the fundamental laws of fire, metal, and space, but also included a portion of the laws of time.
The combination of space and time, especially the flames spewing from the surface of the great sun, subtly revealed the increasingly terrifying power of the essence of space.
!
The mysterious man on the third level of the Sky Bridge suddenly had his head caved in and died instantly.
"It's approved."
Ye Yang took a deep breath; this was expected.
However, there's not much hope for the fourth level, since every three levels of the Sky Bridge present a hurdle.
The 3rd to 4th floors and the 6th to 7th floors are both quite difficult to cross.
But he still looked at the new road that extended out and stepped onto the fourth level of the sky bridge.
"Excellent, truly excellent!"
In the plane of the Sky Bridge, on the beautiful island, the Minotaur and the White Feather Woman still reside.
The watchman, Baffin, smiled as he watched the two men.
King Manshan and King Baimo are both powerful sect leaders of the Cosmic School who were able to establish their own sects in Chaos City.
One belongs to the Giant Axe Arena, and the other belongs to the Virtual Universe Company. However, the two have a very good relationship, and it is obvious to anyone with eyes that their relationship is not ordinary.
Bolan had already taken another powerful sect leader from the Virtual Universe Company as his teacher, so Bai Mo Wu instructed the guardian Bafen to immediately notify her if Ye Yang tried to break through the Tongtian Bridge.
"This Ye Yang has already crossed this threshold and grasped a trace of the essence of space." The Minotaur Barbarian King laughed, "I really didn't expect that he would succeed in doing this in just over a year, less than two years."
"No, not just two years. He had already begun studying the nature of space during the three years he spent on the spaceship before he even arrived in the initial universe."
"Bai Mo, that's not how it works. How bad is the comprehension effect in the primordial universe? The efficiency is only one-tenth of that in the initial universe, right? Those three years can actually be converted into at most four months. This kid comprehended a trace of the essence of space in just two years. He is definitely a peerless genius who appears once every billion years." The Barbarian Mountain King shook his head and said.
"In any case, his rate of progress has begun to surpass that of Berlan." Bai Mo Wang stared at the screen: "He failed to reach the fourth level."
"Failure is normal."
"Let's go, I need to prepare for my next lecture."
"This is outrageous. The opponent on the fourth level has a level of mastery over time and space that I can't understand at all."
Inside his residence in Chaos City, Ye Yang opened his eyes, revealing a helpless expression.
"Next, continue to comprehend the second kind of spatial essence—"
During his last visit to the Chaos Stele, Ye Yang had already "normally comprehended" the nine stars representing space.
However, he did not continue to study the 36 stars in the second picture, "Shattered Waves Reflecting Stars".
For a normal person, the nine stars in the first picture are worth a maximum score of 900. But for Ye Yang, the maximum score is 1350.
He wouldn't study the next diagram until he had fully grasped the essence of the nine spatial concepts.
On the beautiful island in the Tongtian Bridge dimension, the figure of a young man in white suddenly appeared.
Then they quickly ascended the Cosmic Bridge.
"Berlan went to try the fourth level?"
"The Bridge to Heaven is more difficult with each level. He is cultivating the most difficult 'Cosmic Chaos Stele'. It is not easy for him to pass the fourth level in such a short time."
"If Bolan can't get through this time, he will really be caught up by Ye Yang."
Uka, Aichen, Qianshui, and others also appeared in the central square and discussed the matter.
"Where are Rong Jun and Luo Feng? I haven't seen them."
"They announced their seclusion a year ago, and they won't be coming out to join the fun anymore."
After a short while, the watchman, Baffin, shook his head.
The geniuses immediately stepped forward and asked:
"Lord Guardian, has Berlan successfully passed the fourth level?"
"No," said the watchman, "it failed."
The group exchanged glances.
Now, Bolan has truly been caught up by Ye Yang.
"Are you going to continue?"
Amidst the wind and snow, the cold-blooded man looked at the white-clad youth who had been sitting quietly for a long time, his feet covered in snow.
"Teacher, eight years! I will definitely pass the fourth level within eight years!" Bolan said through gritted teeth.
"Eight years?" The cold-blooded man couldn't help but sneer. "Have you come to realize your own strength? Have you seen your own talent?"
"Knowing that comprehending the laws of time greatly slows down your progress, is that why I said eight years?"
Berlan gripped his longsword tightly, about to speak, but then changed his mind and shortened the time. The cold-faced man suddenly interrupted, "Eight years. You can have another eight years."
"I can wait for you, but others won't."
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.
"Ding-dong! Master, someone has come to visit." An electronic voice sounded in the cultivation residence.
Ye Yang raised an eyebrow and went down to the living room on the first floor.
Upon opening the door, a black-robed messenger stood before it.
"Ye Yang, congratulations on passing the third level of the Bridge to Heaven. Passing the third level grants you the qualification to attend lectures at the residence of a sect-founding expert—..."
So they came to deliver information on powerful individuals.
Ye Yang thanked him and accepted the thin book.
Unlike the Nine Universes School, the number of people cultivating the Universe School is extremely small, and there are only 4 sect leaders who still remain in Chaos City to teach and lecture.
The two are from Virtual Universe Company; one is from the Giant Axe Arena, and the other is a powerful figure from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.
"To become an apprentice?" Ye Yang opened the book, which contained various information about four powerful individuals.
"King of White Foam, King of Savage Mountain, King of Accumulation—"
"If you want to become one of their teachers, you must attend their first class as a sign of respect."
Ye Yang believed that with his current level of understanding of the essence of space, it would not be difficult for him to become a disciple of a sect leader. As long as the other party was willing to take him as a disciple, they would basically not refuse him.
So, who should one take as their teacher?
The Virtual Universe Company, "Cosmic School," has only two powerful sect leaders who lecture in Chaos City, so Ye Yang only has two choices.
Bolan had already become a disciple of one of them, which means that Ye Yang could potentially become Bolan's fellow disciple.
"Ye Yang, if you take on a disciple, your future teacher will definitely favor you as his disciple for the next 30 years, since your time in Chaos City is limited."
Babata then said:
"But if you're crammed together with Berlan, the teacher's energy is limited, and the effect might not be as good."
Ye Yang nodded; Babata's words made some sense.
"So now it seems the best choice is this 'White Foam King'—? Isn't she the same race as Teacher Li Pa Hou? So beautiful—"
Ye Yang was carefully examining the information on this grandmaster, "King Baimo".
Suddenly Babata said, "Your teacher Hou sent you an email, asking you to meet him in the virtual universe."
Ye Yang quickly connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and appeared in his manor in the Primal Zone.
"Teacher." Upon seeing Li Hou, Ye Yang bowed respectfully.
"Yes, I have something to tell you." Li Hou nodded and led Ye Yang to the spacious training ground.
As we walked, we asked:
"You've already crossed the third level of the Sky Bridge, haven't you?"
Ye Yang nodded: "Yes."
"The friend from the Cosmic School I mentioned before, the one who advised you to buy 'Cosmic Wanderings' and 'Crystal Star,' is actually Bai Mo Wang."
"Huh?" Ye Yang's mouth opened slightly.
He truly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"She and I are geniuses of the same era and of the same race, so we naturally became friends. However, she is far more outstanding than me and has already established her own sect in Chaos City."
Li Tahou said calmly, "She has been keeping an eye on you. She just messaged me saying that her next lecture will be in a month."
Ye Yang immediately understood and smiled, "Teacher, I know what to do."
One month later, in Chaos City, in front of a mansion built of white stone.
Ye Yang appeared here, watching the cultivators who entered in twos and threes.
"They're all cultivators from the same lineage in the universe. It seems they're quite popular," Ye Yang remarked.
"Of course it's popular! How many grandmasters are there in the Cosmic Style? Although there are very few people who cultivate the Cosmic Style, the proportion of grandmasters is even lower because of the difficulty of this style!" Babata said.
"This lesson will focus on the first two diagrams of the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument,' so listen carefully." Ye Yang followed the small groups of people into the mansion.
Since they had already passed the third level of the Sky Bridge and were entitled to attend the class, the detector at the entrance did not react at all.
Let Ye Yang pass directly.
Ye Yang found an empty seat and sat down. Next to him was a powerful realm lord with a mark of the fundamental laws of the universe between his eyebrows.
"This White Foam King is biased towards the field of space magic, and her lectures are truly excellent—"
"I had regretted choosing the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument' before, but thankfully I found it; it's a lifesaver."
Ye Yang listened to the discussions among the cultivators around him about the White Foam King.
"King White Foam is here! The lecture is about to begin!"
As someone whispered a reminder, a strange force instantly enveloped the scene. Ye Yang felt as if he had been simultaneously transported to different times and spaces, his hands and feet seemingly at opposite ends of the universe.
The feeling wasn't too unpleasant, but it was very strange.
Suddenly, a woman with pure white wings on her back and an exquisitely beautiful face appeared ahead.
