Chapter 346
The legendary holy land, ten thousand times the efficiency of comprehending the laws!
Boom!
The moment Venerable Mingshan's treasured palace entered the vortex passage, the three thousand stellar-level geniuses in the hall seemed to sense something, and their faces showed extreme shock.
It was an incredibly wonderful feeling, as if one were immersed in an ocean of laws.
The ten fundamental laws of time, space, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light transform into countless visible colored threads of law, densely interwoven to form a vast net.
"This is……"
Luo Feng widened his eyes, trying to see more clearly.
However, such opportunities are fleeting.
The next second, the Treasure Palace emerged from the other end of the vortex passage, and that strange feeling vanished instantly.
“Babata, I think I just saw the origin of the universe.”
Luo Feng muttered to himself.
"This is the strongest cultivation holy ground in the Five Elements Secret Realm Primordial Dao Field. Even the most incredible things are normal here."
"You will understand after you have cultivated here for a hundred years."
Babata's reaction was very calm, with a hint of sigh in his voice.
Not only Luo Feng, but all three thousand geniuses in the hall showed expressions of fascination, some even reaching out involuntarily to try and grab the drifting threads of law.
Unfortunately, those mysteries are visible but intangible; they vanish into nothingness the moment they are touched.
"arrive."
The voice of Venerable Mingshan rang out.
The three thousand geniuses turned around and saw a scene that shocked them greatly.
This is a vast starry sky.
In the starry sky, a majestic and ancient city floats.
The city was so enormous that it stretched across the void, like a sleeping behemoth.
The city was entirely forged from ancient, bluish-gray divine stone, its height stretching for thousands of miles, seemingly endless, with no end in sight.
The city gate was as black as ink, and two ancient divine symbols were engraved on it—"Tai Xu".
"Tai Xu."
Luo Feng only glanced at those two words, but he felt a thunderous explosion in his mind, as if endless mysteries were pouring in.
"Don't stare!"
Babata hurriedly reminded him, "That was left behind by some great being. Not to mention you, even your teacher didn't dare to force his way to comprehend it back then!"
"Babata, why didn't you say so sooner?"
Luo Feng quickly looked away, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
Boom!
The magnificent palace slowly descended and finally came to a stop in the vast square in front of the city gate.
Immediately, an invisible spatial ripple spread out.
Before the three thousand geniuses could react, they were instantly teleported to the plaza.
"Ok?"
"Such clear fluctuations of the laws!"
Luo Feng had just appeared in the square and hadn't even had time to check his surroundings when his eyes widened and he shuddered.
Spatial Laws!
The laws of space are incredibly clear!
How clear is it?
Luo Feng didn't even need to actively comprehend it; every single second, countless profound laws surged into his mind.
"One year of cultivation here, comprehending the laws of space, is equivalent to ten thousand years outside!"
One genius was so excited that he trembled all over.
With such an extraordinary environment for cultivation, what reason is there not to become a powerful figure?
The group of geniuses went completely mad.
Some sat down cross-legged and began to meditate on the spot; some were so excited that their faces turned red and they roared to the sky; some were even so excited that tears streamed down their faces.
Luo Feng was considered one of the more composed among the group of geniuses.
After all, he already knew that the Five Elements Secret Realm was ten thousand times more efficient at comprehending the laws than the original universe.
However, knowing something and experiencing it firsthand are completely different things.
"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"
Luo Feng was deeply shocked.
No wonder Ji Ge said that after cultivating in the Five Elements Secret Realm for a hundred years, each of them, this group of geniuses, would possess a level of understanding of the laws comparable to that of a Marquis or an Immortal.
At the time, Luo Feng was still somewhat skeptical.
Now, let alone his understanding of the laws that rivals that of a marquis, he is even confident that it rivals that of a king.
After all, he has two trump cards: the Golden Horned Beast and the Enlightenment Tree clone.
"No wonder..."
Luo Feng murmured, "No wonder the Hongmeng Dojo can cultivate so many super strong people, and even the King-level Immortals can be sent out to escort Stellar-level geniuses."
Cultivating in a place like this, even a pig could comprehend the laws and achieve immortality, right?
"Quiet down."
Venerable Mingshan's voice rang out, carrying a faint sense of oppressive power.
The fervent geniuses gradually calmed down, but they could not hide the joy in their eyes.
Venerable Mingshan swept his gaze over the crowd and said calmly, "I have brought you here. The rest of the journey is up to you. I will come back to pick you up in a hundred years."
"hope……"
Venerable Mingshan, his expression calm and devoid of any smile, said, "I will see all of you again in a hundred years."
Then, the crimson crystal palace transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the vast starry sky.
On the Void Plaza, three thousand geniuses looked at each other in bewilderment.
What was the meaning of Venerable Mingshan's last words?
"I'll see all of you again in a hundred years..."
"Could it be that there are dangers in cultivating in the Five Elements Secret Realm?"
Some of the geniuses' expressions immediately turned rather ugly.
"I've heard that there are many dangerous places in the Five Elements Secret Realm, and even immortals can perish there..."
Another genius spoke up.
"Babata, is there really danger in the Five Elements Secret Realm?"
Luo Feng frowned slightly and asked himself inwardly.
Yes, of course.
Babata said lazily, "However, your teacher was already an immortal when he came to the Five Elements Secret Realm. You are only at the Stellar level now, so you probably won't be able to access those dangerous places."
Just then, a streak of blue light flew over.
The light faded, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in blue with a thin face.
The man exuded a gentle aura, yet his every move subtly blended with the surrounding space, clearly indicating that he was an immortal deity with a profound understanding of the laws of space.
"Congratulations to everyone for passing the Hongmeng Grand Competition and arriving at the Five Elements Secret Realm."
The man in blue smiled and said, "I am an envoy from the City Lord's Mansion. You can call me Gu Li. Next, I will lead you into Taixu City."
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
All the geniuses bowed respectfully.
"Come with me."
Gu Li smiled slightly, said nothing more, and turned to fly towards the huge city gate of Taixu City.
brush!brush!brush!
Three thousand geniuses quickly followed, like a mighty army.
Deep within Taixu City, it seemed as if countless hidden gazes swept across the city gates.
"Time flies, another HarmonyOS competition is here."
An aged voice rang out, as if it came from countless years ago.
"This batch of kids is quite good."
"I've heard there's a guy named Luo Feng who's hailed as the greatest genius our dojo has ever had since its founding," another cool voice commented.
"I've heard about it too."
"It's a pity that Luo Feng has the Lord of Qianwu behind him, otherwise, he might have been destined to be with my Taixu lineage."
Several voices exchanged words in the void for a moment, then gradually dissipated.
In Taixu City.
The group of geniuses passed through the colossal gate that stretched for thousands of miles, and suddenly a bright and open view appeared before them.
The sight inside the city made everyone gasp in shock.
This is a solemn and ancient metropolis, with rows of white buildings lining both sides of the streets.
On the rooftop of each small building sat a powerful figure, immersed in comprehending the laws of nature, his aura unfathomable.
"I go!"
"That guy in white, his aura seems to be comparable to Venerable Mingshan. Could he also be a Universe Venerable?"
A genius secretly remarked.
"Don't look around."
The Gu Li envoy said calmly, "Here, you are among the lowest-level cultivators. If you disturb the cultivation of any powerful individual, we will have no choice but to send you out of the Five Elements Secret Realm."
The group of geniuses quickly averted their gazes and followed behind with their heads down.
As Gu Li's envoy walked, he introduced, "The Five Elements Secret Realm is the core cultivation holy ground of my Hongmeng Daoist Temple. You will be cultivating here for the next hundred years."
"Now, I will tell you about the rules of the city."
His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
"First, no fighting is allowed."
"Fighting of any kind is prohibited within Taixu City. Anyone who initiates a fight will be imprisoned in the Star Domain Prison at best, and killed on the spot at worst."
The group of geniuses felt a chill run down their spines.
"Second, you must not disturb other powerful cultivators' cultivation."
"Many powerful individuals reside in seclusion in Taixu City, some for tens of thousands of years. If you disturb them, you will bear the consequences."
The envoy from Guli paused for a moment, then said, "As long as you abide by these two rules, you are free to move around in the city."
As they spoke, the group arrived in front of a magnificent and ancient building.
This is a palace built entirely of deep purple stone, with three large characters written on it: "City Lord's Mansion".
"We've arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Please follow me inside."
As Gu Li walked, she said calmly, "The City Lord of Taixu City is a great being of my Hongmeng Daoist Temple. If you have the opportunity in the future, you may be able to see the City Lord's true face."
A certain great being...
Luo Feng was startled and secretly guessed that for an immortal god to be so respectful, this city lord must be at least a top-tier existence among the universe's venerable beings, or even possibly the master of the universe!
Envoy Gu Li said no more and led everyone to a huge square inside the city lord's mansion.
In the center of the plaza, a huge teleportation array floats silently.
The teleportation array was a thousand feet in diameter and covered with dense array patterns.
The array patterns flickered erratically, radiating fluctuations of spatial laws.
"This is a teleportation array."
Gu Li pointed to the teleportation array and said, "Through this array, we can teleport between the Tenth Heaven and the Reincarnation Platform."
"The Tenth Heaven?"
Someone asked curiously.
"The Tenth Heaven is the core of the Five Elements Secret Realm."
Gu Li explained, "Each heaven corresponds to one of the ten lower laws: space, time, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light. Each heaven possesses ten thousand times the clarity of the laws."
"Ten thousand times!"
Although they had already experienced it outside the city, everyone was still shocked when they heard this number.
Not only the laws of space, but also the ten fundamental laws of the universe, all have a ten-thousand-fold increase in the efficiency of comprehension!
"The space law corresponds to the 'Tai Xu Tian'."
The Gu Li Envoy continued, “The law of time corresponds to the ‘Extreme Universe Heaven.’ The law of metal corresponds to the ‘Geng Metal Heaven,’ the law of wood corresponds to the ‘Gu Li Heaven,’ the law of water corresponds to the ‘Weak Water Heaven,’ the law of fire corresponds to the ‘Li Fire Heaven,’ the law of earth corresponds to the ‘Hou Tu Heaven,’ the law of wind corresponds to the ‘Gang Wind Heaven,’ the law of lightning corresponds to the ‘Thunder Tribulation Heaven,’ and the law of light corresponds to the ‘Aurora Heaven.’”
“In each heaven there is a city for the strong of my Hongmeng Daoist Academy to cultivate.”
Everyone was deeply moved.
Tenth Heaven!
The Ten Fundamental Laws!
The 10,000x Law: Clarity Enhancement!
"If you intend to comprehend the laws of space, you don't need to use the teleportation array; you can cultivate directly in Taixu City."
Gu Li added, "Tai Xu City is located in Tai Xu Heaven itself, and anywhere within the city, one can feel a spatial law clarity ten thousand times greater."
"May I ask, envoy..."
A genius cautiously asked, "What exactly is the Reincarnation Platform?"
Gu Li glanced at him and said calmly, "The Reincarnation Platform is a sacred place for the strong to hone their will."
"but……"
He changed the subject and laughed, "Only immortal gods can enter the Reincarnation Platform. You little guys aren't even immortals, so don't even think about it."
The group of geniuses smiled sheepishly and dared not ask any more questions.
"All right."
Envoy Gu Li waved his hand: "I've given you all the information you need to know. You can choose for yourselves. Those who wish to stay in Taixu City to comprehend the laws of space can find a place to stay. Those who wish to comprehend other laws can travel to the corresponding first heaven via the teleportation array."
The three thousand geniuses looked at each other, and then each set about on their own.
Most of the geniuses chose to stay in Taixu City, after all, the Law of Space is one of the two superior laws, and more than 60% of this group of geniuses majored in the Law of Space.
Some geniuses who specialize in the laws of time head to the "Extreme Universe Heaven";
Only a very few geniuses went to the first level of heaven corresponding to the eight lower-level laws.
"Luo Feng, Rong Jun, I specialize in the Law of Time, so I'll be going now."
Ji Ge said.
"Let's meet in the Nine Towers Realm when you have time."
Luo Feng nodded and said.
"Keep it up, don't embarrass our Qianwu trio."
Rong Jun patted Ji Ge on the shoulder and said in a serious tone.
Ji Ge wasn't annoyed, he just chuckled and said, "Rong Jun, don't be so arrogant. Who knows who will surpass whom in a hundred years!"
After saying that, he walked onto the teleportation array and headed to "Extreme Universe Heaven".
The three then parted ways.
After a while.
Luo Feng walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and walked alone on the streets of Taixu City.
Taixu City is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The outer city is a cluster of white buildings that stretch out in waves, while the inner city consists of magnificent and ancient palaces.
It is said that only those who become the strongest among the universe's supreme beings are qualified to live in the inner city.
Luo Feng found an empty white building and pushed the door open to enter.
In Taixu City, all unclaimed residences have white doors, while those with owners have black doors, making them easy to distinguish.
Upon entering the cultivation residence, the first floor features a very large living room with complete facilities.
Luo Feng didn't linger and instantly darted up the stairs to the rooftop on the third floor.
On the rooftop were some random insights and records left by previous cultivators, but they were completely irregular. Although one could vaguely sense some special artistic conceptions, they were of little use to Luo Feng's own cultivation.
"call!"
"From this day forward, I will truly begin my long cultivation journey in this Five Elements Secret Realm!"
Luo Feng was deeply moved.
This marks the beginning of his path to becoming a powerful figure! (End of Chapter)
