The first picture shows a dense array of tiny meteorites; after careful counting, there are a total of 10081.
The second image is a planetary diagram, showing a solitary, enormous planet with nothing else in it.
The third image is a star chart, with a giant star seemingly suppressing spacetime, surrounded by eight different planets, forming a star system.
The fourth image is a galaxy map, with a black hole that devours everything located in the center, connecting 10081 star systems.
The fifth image, the Galaxy Map, is a galaxy composed of 1008 galaxy maps, containing nearly countless stars and planets.
The sixth picture is completely different from the previous universe picture. It features an artificial mountain, a lake, and a wooden house. The structure is extremely simple, like a work of art. However, the interconnected elements seem to create a world.
"The greatest truths are the simplest..."
With a single glance, Lu Yunhe's entire spirit and will were completely immersed in the "World Chaos Monument" and its surroundings.
The original path of the ten laws, which had been entirely self-taught, finally received some guidance at this moment. It was no longer like the blind men and the elephant, where the elements were superficially combined, but rather a complete picture of creation could be constructed.
The sixth picture, in particular, impressed Lu Yunhe the most. It contained only three things that created a world that completely encompassed the ten laws.
Subconsciously, a picture began to form in Lu Yunhe's mind.
A towering tree, seemingly supporting the sky, stands on the earth. A larva nibbles on a leaf, a golden beast rests at its roots, and a dazzling orb of light sits atop the tree, constantly scattering its radiance.
Several things together form a picture of the world, and above the world, a giant hand is holding a pen, continuing to sketch the picture.
When Lu Yunhe saw the "World Chaos Stele," his four avatars naturally saw it as well, and they all fell into comprehension, each searching for the corresponding laws within the "World Chaos Stele."
Because their consciousnesses were connected, the four avatars also poured all their own consciousness and insights into the illusory world constructed by Lu Yunhe, making this illusory world seem to have a certain sense of reality.
……
The seven days of reflection passed in the blink of an eye.
"Everyone come out!"
A voice came in, directly entering everyone's mind.
"Come out, everyone!" "Come out, everyone!" "Come out, everyone!"... The voices echoed in everyone's minds, growing louder and louder, instantly waking them up.
The booming sound that kept echoing in his mind startled Lu Yunhe from his cultivation, and the mental pattern he had constructed in his mind instantly dissipated.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Everyone rushed outside. The moment they crossed the threshold, the sound that had been echoing in their minds disappeared instantly, and they felt a sense of relief.
"Is it over?"
Lu Yunhe thought with some regret that this "World Chaos Stele" was more than enough for him to use until he became immortal. After all, he had never fantasized about fusing the Ten Laws at the World Lord level, and he probably couldn't even do it in the Cosmic Sea.
However, the path afterward is actually simpler and clearer, though it only seems simple; in reality, the cultivation process is still fraught with difficulties.
“You newbies, wait a moment,” Guardian Kandri said with a smile.
"Ok?"
The many geniuses looked at the old man with some doubt. Kander smiled and said, "This is your first time entering the cultivation chamber. I would like to remind you... You should first find a place to stay for the next 30 years of your cultivation. After that, you will enter the virtual universe and apply to enter the 'Bridge to Heaven'."
"The number of times you can comprehend the Chaos Stele is limited, so the City Lord has set up the Bridge to Heaven. Each time you pass through a level of the Bridge to Heaven, you will get a chance to comprehend it. Make good use of it."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of many geniuses lit up. They were quite confident in their talents and were sure they could pass through one or two levels.
Compared to the many confident geniuses, Lu Yunhe had a headache. The Tongtian Bridge was naturally used to test the Chaos Stele. The power of each level of the Tongtian Bridge might not differ much, but the difficulty of cultivation was vastly different.
The Giant Axe and the Cosmic Chaos Monument are widely recognized as the most difficult, the latter only testing the two laws of spacetime, but the World Chaos Monument...
Chapter 114 Tongtian Bridge
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Lu Yunhe and the others dispersed to find places to cultivate.
Chaos City covers a vast area. Apart from a very few special buildings, almost all the cultivation residences are exactly the same. Moreover, the 'doors' of most of the cultivation residences are pale white, which means that the cultivation residence does not yet have an owner.
Lu Yunhe, who was used to being alone, casually found a quiet place to live for the next thirty years and placed his hand on the door.
"Beep, beep, beep..." The door gradually made a sound, and at the same time, the color of the door began to darken, from light white to dark gray, and then stopped changing.
"Welcome, Master." An electronic voice sounded.
"Ah."
Lu Yunhe went directly into his cultivation residence. The first floor was a huge living room with incredibly advanced and complete facilities. The electronic voice continued to sound: "I am an intelligent service assistant. During your stay, I will serve you. Please give me any requests you may have, such as food or drink."
Although their living conditions were very comfortable, Lu Yunhe and the others had limited time to stay in Chaos City, so they couldn't afford to waste time enjoying themselves.
Lu Yunhe went up the stairs to the rooftop on the third floor.
There were also some random insights and inscriptions left by previous cultivators on the rooftop, but they were completely irregular. Although one could vaguely sense some special artistic conceptions, having seen the '52 Chaos Steles', one was not very interested in these irregular and messy inscriptions.
If he really wanted to study it, the talents of his various clones were enough for him to reference and simulate, especially the spacetime realm of the Golden Dragon clone, which could fully support his research up to the level of the Universe Venerable.
In the virtual universe, at Manor No. 114 in the Yuxiangshan Primitive Area, Lu Yunhe's figure reappears.
"Your Highness!"
A group of servants and guards bowed.
"Hmm." Lu Yunhe nodded slightly, then summoned his virtual assistant, Delacion, "Request entry into the Skybridge."
"clear."
The fist-sized virtual assistant 'Delacion' that appeared on Lu Yunhe's shoulder immediately contacted the virtual universe's central system to submit an application. Soon, a voice rang in Lu Yunhe's mind: "Identity confirmed, Lu Yunhe. You have permanently gained the qualification to enter the Bridge to Heaven. We hope you will strive to reach the end of the Bridge to Heaven. Teleporting now!"
brush!
Lu Yunhe disappeared from the manor once again.
……
Virtual universe, a special plane space.
This plane space is an endless ocean with turbulent waters.
There is a unique and beautiful island in the ocean, with 52 ports along its edge. Each port has an endless bridge extending outwards, stretching all the way to the horizon... as if to connect with the distant sky. These 52 bridges completely cover the entire ocean.
Above the ocean waves, there was a faint mist, making it impossible to see what was in the ocean. The mist clung to the long bridge, making everything seem like a dream.
Lu Yunhe suddenly appeared in the square in the center of the island, and he was all alone in the huge square.
For the other geniuses, viewing the Chaos Stele will accumulate many insights in their hearts. Their first priority will naturally be to digest and absorb these insights before choosing to cross the Heavenly Bridge to gain a second chance for enlightenment.
However, because Lu Yunhe had accumulated too much knowledge and experience beforehand, and since he was not fighting alone, he could not fully unleash his accumulated knowledge in just seven days and needed a longer period of contemplation.
Therefore, after choosing his cultivation residence, Lu Yunhe rushed to the Tongtian Bridge as soon as possible to take a few opportunities to comprehend the "World Chaos Stele".
After Lu Yunhe appeared, a man wearing a black star-patterned robe with four ears but no nose, who was standing not far from the square, walked over with a smile: "Hello, Lu Yunhe, I am Baffin, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge plane. You can call me the guardian."
"Your Excellency the Guardian!" Lu Yunhe bowed.
“I’ve heard about what happened to you!” the Watcher spoke first. “This is not a good choice.”
"Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast." Lu Yunhe thought to himself. It hadn't been long, and his story had already spread throughout the entire Chaos City. Did these people not cultivate?
"This Sky Bridge plane was created specifically for the 52 Chaos Steles in Chaos City. Because our human race has spent billions of years comprehending the 52 Chaos Steles, 52 schools of thought have formed within Chaos City," the guardian Baffin remarked. "However, the school you belong to now may only have you as a member."
"It's fine if I'm the leader of this school of thought all by myself," Lu Yunhe said expressionlessly.
"At the same time, in order to test your understanding of the Chaos Stele, the Bridge to Heaven is also divided into many layers. The higher the upper limit of the Chaos Stele, the higher the number of layers of the Bridge to Heaven."
At this point, the guardian Baffin stared intently at Lu Yunhe: "The Giant Axe Chaos Stele has 32 layers, the Cosmic Chaos Stele has 30 layers, the Nine Universes Chaos Stele has 27 layers... but the World Chaos Stele only has 20 layers."
"And for you, the farther you go across the Tongtian Bridge, the stronger you are."
"The remaining bridges to heaven are usually reached by immortals up to the 10th level," the guardian Baffin sighed. "If one reaches the 18th level, one is practically invincible among immortals. Reaching the 21st level... one can become the 'King of the Universe'."
The Bridge to Heaven can broadly categorize the levels of understanding of the laws at the Immortal level. The ordinary Realm Lord level has nine levels of understanding, the most ordinary Immortal can reach the tenth level, and the Marquis level Immortal can reach the fifteenth level.
Reaching the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven not only grants permanent residency in Chaos City, but also signifies possessing a King-level Law, thus entering the middle ranks of the entire human race.
"But so far, the highest record for conquering the World Chaos Monument is the 15th floor."
"There's actually someone who managed to reach the fifteenth floor!" Lu Yunhe was quite curious and even wanted to ask who it was.
Seeing that Lu Yunhe had said so much but didn't seem to care at all, the guardian Baffin couldn't hold back any longer and quickly said, "The World Bridge has been empty, you should go quickly."
"Goodbye, Guardian!"
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to reveal anything, Lu Yunhe could only leave regretfully. He was genuinely curious as to who else, besides himself, would dare to choose this deadly path.
He dared to cultivate the Ten Laws simultaneously because he only planned to cultivate them at the World Lord and Immortal levels. Most importantly, he had an external cheat code to ignore the law rejection that World Lords face when breaking through to Immortality.
As long as he leaves one clone that doesn't break through to the Realm Lord level, he can continue to enjoy the Realm Lord level's speed of comprehending laws.
Whoosh!
Lu Yunhe transformed into a blur and flew directly towards a bridge that stretched to the ends of the earth. From afar, he could see a stone tablet in front of the bridge with the word 'World' on it.
……
As Lu Yunhe began to break through the overpass, the guardian, Baffin, started sending out mass emails.
"This year's Genius Battle is such a pity. That genius, who was hailed as a once-in-ten-thousand-epoch genius, went down the wrong path, which has already made many powerful people sigh."
"But compared to the previous genius who went astray, this peerless genius, who could almost be called a million-epoch genius, has actually walked into a dead end."
"A wrong path and a dead end—is this the curse that geniuses are burdened with?"
The Watcher, Baffin, couldn't help but shake his head. Many of those who asked him to send emails were high-ranking cosmic beings.
Some were just there for fun, while others genuinely wanted to take Lu Yunhe as their disciple. After all, he had passed the entire Trial Tower, and his talent was undeniable, especially since he possessed the extremely rare dual talent of time and space.
If Lu Yunhe can repent in time, most of the universe venerables would probably be willing to personally plead with the city lord to replace the Chaos Stele.
Of course, Baffin, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge who had been stationed there for many years, understood that all of this probably depended on Lu Yunhe's failure to pass the test; otherwise, given the stubborn nature of these geniuses...
However, the watchman, Baffin, had a premonition that these spectators would likely not get the results they wanted and would all leave disappointed.
"I hope my gut feeling is wrong!"
……
Tongtian Bridge stretches to the end of the world, surrounded by mist and mist, and the sea below is surging.
As Lu Yunhe stepped onto the World Bridge, Delacion's voice echoed in his mind: "Master, the Virtual Universe Company just sent a message about points rewards, which is to conquer the World Bridge."
"Pass the first level and you will be rewarded with 100 points."
"Pass the second level and you will be awarded another 200 points."
