Chapter 27, Level 3
The email from Virtual Universe Company made Ye Muxuan's eyes narrow slightly.
For countless eons, the five major powers have been the five pillars of humanity, supporting the human race. Throughout endless eons, they have witnessed far too many geniuses, so they look down on ordinary so-called "geniuses."
These World Lords and Immortals who entered the Initial Universe were given an opportunity to showcase their talents by comprehending the Chaos Stele and crossing the Heavenly Bridge within the allotted time. Only the most outstanding individuals would be invited to become official members of the five major powers. Correspondingly, those successfully recruited would receive not only corresponding points but also rewards and a very high amount of free points for exchanging secret techniques.
Therefore, if they encounter a true genius, they are never stingy with the resources to nurture them! The amount of free points is so high that even if these people try to pass the Sky Bridge, very few of them will be able to get it before they die!
Lost in thought, Ye Muxuan flew to the end of the first level.
"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Choose any opponent. Defeat your opponent to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven." At the end of the first level of the Bridge to Heaven, there was a huge cloud of mist, from which a voice emanated.
Ye Muxuan stopped in his tracks. The Tongtian Bridge wouldn't exempt him from the first few levels just because he was a Realm Lord. Only after defeating his opponent and the clouds dissipating would he be able to enter the next level of the Tongtian Bridge.
"I choose... a martial artist!" Ye Muxuan said, his voice echoing across the Tongtian Bridge.
With a whoosh, a ball of black liquid flew out of the clouds and instantly transformed into a figure wearing a black mask, a suit of jet-black armor, and a long, slender sword on his back, exactly the same sword used by Ye Muxuan.
The figure behind the black mask spoke in human language, "Let the battle begin."
"Defeat him to enter the second level." A voice came from within the clouds.
Ye Muxuan sized up the gatekeeper who was dressed exactly like him, and suddenly a battle blade appeared in his hand, the very same Wind Shadow Blade he used in reality.
The blade is long and straight, with a slight curve at the tip.
Their eyes met; Ye Muxuan's gaze was indifferent and cold, just as the gatekeeper's was aloof and devoid of emotion.
Suddenly, the gatekeeper lunged forward, simultaneously slashing at the gatekeeper with a swift, deadly strike.
Ye Muxuan's eyes narrowed suddenly.
The gatekeeper, like himself, was at the peak of the Realm Lord level, but the level of his understanding of the laws was merely the first trace of light and shadow in the first picture of the "Surprising Chaos Stele"!
A World Lord who has suppressed his understanding of the laws of time to the peak of the threshold realm could not possibly exist anywhere else except at the Tongtian Bridge.
With a soft, trembling sound, Ye Muxuan blocked the attack.
The mysterious figure's wrist trembled, and then a second slash came crashing down!
Ye Muxuan reached out, raised his sword, and blocked the second strike!
The third cut, the fourth cut, and so on until the ninth cut!
"Wind... airflow... disturbance... time... so the first picture also has this artistic conception of the fundamental law of wind!" After blocking the ninth strike from the gatekeeper, Ye Muxuan's eyes suddenly lit up!
With his current strength, he could easily cleave through the first level with a single strike, but there was no need. He chose the Chaos Stele of Startling Clouds. The guardian of the Sky Bridge of Startling Clouds naturally used the secret techniques of the Chaos Stele, so he regarded the guardian of the Sky Bridge of Startling Clouds as the best guide and teacher.
"Thank you for the sword!" Ye Muxuan suddenly spoke, his voice like thunder. With a twist of his wrist, the Wind Shadow Blade in his hand turned into a line of light and slashed at the battle sword in the guard's hand.
Directly into the center!
With a single slash, he cleaved through the gatekeeper's defenses, the tip of the blade lightly and deftly touching the primordial pearl located in the heart of his body.
The Primal Pearl shattered, and the Realm Lord died!
"First level passed, please proceed to the second level." The clouds dispersed, revealing a gap in the second level.
Ye Muxuan took a deep breath and stepped into the second floor.
……
The second floor, the third floor...
Baffin, on the island, suddenly brightened up. Looking at the group of people in front of him, he said, "Not bad. To reach the thirteenth level on the first attempt at the Sky Bridge, Mu Xuan's understanding of the laws is very high, and his foundation is also very solid. It seems that the core layer of the five major forces will now have one more core member!"
"Mu Xuan has reached the thirteenth floor?"
"He actually made it to the thirteenth floor?"
"Oh my god!"
Waiting on the island were not only the realm master of the Jinghong Tongtian Bridge lineage and the immortal who arrived later, but also other powerful figures waiting at various Tongtian Bridge ports. Upon hearing Baffin's words, they all gasped in shock.
What does the thirteenth level mean? It means that Ye Muxuan's level of understanding of the laws is at the upper-middle level among the Immortals, even among the Military Lord Immortals.
"Next, who will be the next to attempt the Sky Bridge?" Baffin glanced at the twelve people present: eleven Realm Lords and one Immortal.
"I'll go!" The only Immortal Military Lord among the seventeen members of the Shocking Chaos Stele stepped forward and spoke.
……
In Chaos City, on the rooftop of a gray building, a young man sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the visible law runes in the sky above!
The Sky Bridge, the thirteenth level!
This is his expectation!
After all, he had already defeated the Madman Li Zheng with a single strike. Many immortals and realm lords knew that his understanding of the laws was extremely high, and his self-created secret technique had even reached the Marquis level!
However, creating one's own secret techniques and comprehending the laws are not the same thing. Many powerful individuals, through years of accumulated experience, can create higher-level secret techniques in a flash of inspiration, even if their understanding of the laws hasn't kept pace. Of course, there are also some powerful individuals with very high understanding of the laws, but whose self-created secret techniques fail due to temporary difficulties.
So if I go all out, I should be able to reach the fifteenth floor.
This is the threshold for being granted a noble title!
However, his rapid improvement in his understanding of the laws has occurred in recent years! Especially after that slash from the depths of his consciousness! Before that, his strength was about the same as Kong Yan and Zhen Dan, and even if he was slightly better, it wouldn't be by much. He estimated that these two should also be able to reach the twelfth or even thirteenth level.
and so……
All I need to do now is to dedicate myself to studying the Chaos Stele for the next three thousand years in this Chaos City, and before leaving, see how far I can go.
Even if you manage to pass the fifteenth, or even the sixteenth or seventeenth floor, others will only be amazed by your visible progress and will not suspect that you have had some extraordinary encounter!
At least, it reduced the possibility of such suspicion. After all, he was alone now, and there was no powerful figure behind him who could keep things under control!
Oh, and you can also earn points at the Immortal Altar and the Illusionary Sea, as well as another important treasure of Chaos City, the Chaos True Spirit.
