Chapter 501 147 Days! The 21-Story Sky Bridge!
Besides verifying his own understanding, the Tongtian Bridge also serves another crucial purpose for Chu Yang: to gain points.
During his hundred years in Chaos City, he enjoyed the benefit of earning ten times the points, a perk that all new core members of a virtual universe company would receive.
However, this benefit has a great advantage for Chu Yang, because he is an immortal after all. Even without this heaven-defying comprehension, it would not be difficult for him to force his way through the Tongtian Bridge.
To put it bluntly, this is essentially the Virtual Universe Company giving him points for free.
The Boundless Sky Bridge has twenty-nine levels. The reward for passing the first level is one thousand points, the second level is two thousand, the third level is four thousand, and so on, doubling with each level.
Under the tenfold points bonus system, the first level of reward is equivalent to 10,000 points, and then the reward doubles for each subsequent level!
Those who pass through the eighteenth level of the Sky Bridge will gain permanent residency in Chaos City.
Normally, anyone who can pass through the eighteenth level of any Heavenly Bridge is at least at the level of an invincible king.
Those who can pass the eighteenth level of the Sky Bridge will not only have permanent residency in Chaos City, but will also be qualified to establish a sect in Chaos City.
The fifty-two Chaos Steles represent fifty-two schools of thought, each with powerful figures capable of founding their own sects and spreading their teachings.
Because the fifty-two Chaos Steles vary in their profoundness, the number of levels on the different Heavenly Bridges also varies.
The lowest number of floors is twenty-one, and the highest is thirty-two.
The only 32-story bridge to heaven corresponds to the Chaos Stele, which is the giant axe Chaos Stele!
The Sky Bridge of the Boundless Chaos Stele has twenty-nine levels, making it one of the best among the Chaos Steles.
Passing through the eighteenth level signifies becoming an invincible king, while passing through the twenty-first level is equivalent to becoming a cosmic ruler, or a cosmic venerable.
To pass through those extremely profound bridges to heaven, one would need to be a cosmic overlord, or even a cosmic master!
…………
Virtual universe, the Bridge to Heaven dimension.
This dimension is formed from an endless ocean, and the only land in the ocean is a beautiful island.
There are fifty-two ports along the edge of the island, each with an endless bridge extending from it, as if connecting to the horizon.
Fifty-two long bridges span the ocean, creating a magnificent sight.
After entering the Tongtian Bridge dimension, Chu Yang appeared directly in the square in the center of the island, where a man dressed in a black star-patterned robe stood not far away.
The man had four ears but no nose. He was slightly surprised by Chu Yang's arrival, but then he smiled and greeted him.
The man tentatively asked, "The Cosmic Genius Battle isn't over yet. This unfamiliar face appearing here must be His Highness Chu Yang, right?"
Chu Yang nodded and said, "It's me."
The man introduced himself: "I am Baffin, the guardian of the Skybridge dimension."
Typically, when introducing himself to core members, the man would add that he prefers to be called the Guardian rather than by his first name.
However, he did not adhere to this principle when facing Chu Yang.
Because Chu Yang's position in the Virtual Universe Company is too special and too dazzling.
His status as a core member and chief when he first joined the company was enough to earn him the respect and courtesy of many senior executives.
The news that Chu Yang has become the fourth disciple of the Primordial Ancestor has already spread throughout the entire Virtual Universe Company, and no one dares to underestimate him in the slightest.
In terms of status alone, although Chu Yang is only an immortal god at the limit of the King level, he is already comparable to the Lord of the Universe.
It's important to know that the entire Virtual Universe Company only has five Universe Lords!
Four of them were from the same sect as Chu Yang, and one of them was even his junior. Who would dare to disrespect him?
"Mr. Baffin, I want to cross the Boundless Sky Bridge," Chu Yang said with a smile, revealing his purpose.
This was three and a half years ago in the initial universe. He might have politely addressed Baffin as "Sir".
But nowadays, not to mention in the Virtual Universe Company, even in the entire Primal Universe, there are very few people who deserve to be called "Master" by him.
This was not because Chu Yang was arrogant, but because as the fourth disciple of the Primordial Ancestor, his words and actions outside represented the sect, and it would be inappropriate for him to be too humble.
To this, Chu Yang could only say...
The original name of the bird food is very useful!
"There is no one in the Boundless Sky Bridge right now, Your Highness King Chu may enter directly." Baffin still had a smile on his face, showing no dissatisfaction at all because of Chu Yang's form of address.
Chu Yang nodded, then his figure flashed and he rushed directly towards one of the fifty-two bridges to heaven.
On the stone tablet at the bridgehead, the words "Wu Zhou" are clearly written.
After Chu Yang entered the Tongtian Bridge, Baffin murmured with some emotion, "It's been a long time since I've seen anyone comprehend the Wuzhou Chaos Stele..."
Soon, Chu Yang arrived at the end of the first level of the Boundless Sky Bridge, where he was blocked by a huge cloud of mist.
Only by defeating the opponent will the clouds dissipate and lead to the next level.
"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Defeat your opponent to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven." A voice echoed from the clouds.
Chu Yang thought for a moment, then said, "The controller."
Among the three, the mental master is the strongest in terms of attack power within the same realm.
The next moment, a ball of black liquid flew out of the clouds and then transformed into a mysterious figure wearing a black mask.
The voice from within the clouds rang out again, "Defeat him, and you can enter the second level of the Sky Bridge."
The mysterious figure rode on a dark cloud shuttle and carried a dark golden staff on his back, which was the Divine Weapon of the Nine Divine Weapons.
But then, the mysterious figure didn't immediately make a move. Instead, he stared blankly at Chu Yang and said:
"Immortal? Only immortals would attempt to cross the first level of the Heavenly Bridge?"
Damn it...
Isn't this bullying?
The Bridge to Heaven will suppress the gatekeeper to the same level as the challenger.
But the problem is...
As an immortal, Chu Yang naturally did not need the Tongtian Bridge to suppress the guardian's realm.
However, the Heavenly Bridge will not raise the level of the gatekeeper, and the upper limit of the first level gatekeeper is the peak of the universe level.
For an Immortal to fight a Universe-level opponent is almost effortless.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will suppress my cultivation level."
The mysterious figure fell silent, clearly encountering this situation for the first time.
But as the gatekeeper, he didn't hesitate for long and charged straight at the gate with his Dark Cloud Shuttle.
The outcome of this battle was self-evident; even though Chu Yang suppressed his own cultivation level, he still easily achieved victory.
His understanding of the fundamental laws of time was already there, and he had already grasped the first diagram of the Boundless Sky Bridge to its fullest extent, so naturally he wouldn't be stopped by the first level.
For the next half hour, Chu Yang made rapid progress, passing through the first seven levels of the Boundless Sky Bridge before finally stopping.
The guardian of the seventh level has already begun to comprehend the second diagram of the Boundless Sky Bridge, namely the Arrow Diagram.
Chu Yang benefited greatly from the battle. He came to challenge the Tongtian Bridge mainly to verify his own understanding and accelerate his comprehension of the Wuzhou Chaos Stele.
There's not much point in just blindly pushing through levels, so he plans to digest what he's learned from this battle before continuing.
After leaving the virtual universe, Chu Yang went to the City Lord's Mansion and then began his secluded cultivation in the cultivation chamber of the Boundless Chaos Stele.
Passing through seven levels of the Heavenly Bridge granted him seven opportunities for enlightenment, each lasting seven days, for a total of forty-nine days.
Normally, after every seven days, if someone wants to enter, Kandri will open the door and wake the person in the secret room.
However, since no one below the level of a Universe Venerable in Chaos City, except for Chu Yang, comprehends the Boundless Chaos Stele, this step is omitted.
After learning that Chu Yang had come to study the Chaos Stele, no cosmic venerable would be in a hurry to disturb his seclusion.
So Chu Yang simply started practicing in the cultivation chamber.
Using the insights gained from the battle, comprehend the Chaos Monument of Boundless Universe, and then challenge the Bridge to Heaven to "renew" your comprehension time.
After this series of actions, Chu Yang's speed of comprehending the fundamental laws of time greatly increased.
After all, this was directly facing the Chaos Monument of the Boundless Universe, which meant that many of its mysteries were laid out before him, making it several times faster than comprehending them outside.
If he could stay in the cultivation chamber, Chu Yang was even confident that he could understand the Chaos Tablet of Boundless Universe and comprehend the fundamental law of time within three years!
However, this situation was ultimately unrealistic. After 147 days of seclusion, Chu Yang finally emerged from his cultivation chamber.
This news once again shocked the entire Virtual Universe Company's top management, and even caused quite a stir in Chaos City!
One hundred and forty-seven days, what does that mean?
This means that Chu Yang has passed through the twenty-one levels of the Heavenly Bridge!
This also means that he possesses a level of understanding and application of the laws comparable to that of a cosmic sovereign!
But as everyone knows, Chu Yang is only an Immortal, and he only broke through to Immortal before entering the Virtual Universe Company!
Isn't this speed of improvement in strength and comprehension of laws a bit too astonishing?
Moreover, the Boundless Chaos Stele follows the path of the fundamental laws of time, while Chu Yang broke through to immortality using the fundamental laws of metal!
If he can comprehend the higher-level fundamental laws across systems so quickly, how terrifying would his speed be if he comprehended the fundamental laws of space?
This made everyone realize one thing: as long as Chu Yang breaks through to the Universe Venerable, it won't be long before he breaks through to the Universe Lord!
What they didn't know was that if Chu Yang hadn't been accumulating resources in the primordial universe, his speed of strength improvement and realm breakthroughs would have been even faster.
In the virtual universe, on Thunder Island, within a manor.
"You came to see me today, presumably because of Chu Yang, right?"
The Lord of Chaos City sat in the pavilion, looking at the Lord of Ice Peak opposite him with a smile.
The Lord of Ice Peak nodded, then said with some emotion, "Our junior brother is truly too monstrous!"
"But there's one thing I still don't understand: why did you make such a decisive decision back then, suppressing all dissenting voices, and wanting to take him under your wing on behalf of our teacher?"
"Did you already see his extraordinary qualities back then?"
The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and said, "I'm not a teacher. How could I possibly see through him without ever having seen him?"
"I was just gambling, betting that the company's top management wouldn't agree easily, and I ended up getting a three-year grace period."
"These three years are enough to prove everything."
"Now it seems my decision was right..."
The Lord of Ice Peaks chuckled and said, "You've always been a master strategist."
The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and said, "But I still miscalculated, or rather, I underestimated his talent."
"Perhaps he will become the second person in human history to rival our teacher!"
The Lord of Ice Peaks remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What are your plans next?"
"Leave him in Chaos City until he cultivates to become a Universe Master?"
The Lord of Chaos City shook his head again and said, "Although this is the safest way, without the tempering of life and death, even the highest level of cultivation will eventually be unable to withstand the trials and tribulations."
"We can't let his talent go to waste because of our selfishness."
…………
Chaos City, on the platform of a small building.
Luo Feng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the 108 characters on the rooftop wall, a smile appeared on his face, and then he asked:
"Babata, has anything major happened lately?"
Babata exclaimed, "You've finally finished your comprehension!"
"It's not just a major event, it's an absolute catastrophe!"
"Chu Yang actually made it through the twenty-first level of the Heavenly Bridge!"
"He's only an Immortal! He's already reached the level of a Universe Ruler!"
Babata grew increasingly excited as he spoke, "He broke through to immortality using the fundamental law of metal, yet while still in the immortal stage, his speed in comprehending the fundamental law of time was so incredibly fast!"
"Luo Feng! This means that once he breaks through to the Universe Venerable realm, he will inevitably become the Lord of the Universe!"
"You were incredibly lucky to have made that promise with him back then!"
Luo Feng's pupils contracted rapidly, and he couldn't help but gasp. He then smiled wryly:
"They certainly had a stroke of great luck, but the price they paid was also quite high."
"If it weren't for the fact that points are more valuable than cash within the Virtual Universe Company, the improvement speed of the Golden Horned Beast and the Cloud Vine would be greatly reduced due to insufficient resources!"
"Not to mention repairing the Meteorite Star left behind by the teacher..."
From the time he left the Thunder World until he entered the Initial Universe, about ten years had passed.
During these ten years, Luo Feng was almost always in debt.
His income was already meager, and he had to give Chu Yang 30% of it. In addition, he participated in an auction, which almost bankrupted him.
If he hadn't gained so much from his time in the Thunder World, he probably wouldn't be able to maintain the optimal metal combination to allow the Golden Horned Beast to advance its cultivation level at the highest speed.
"If it's just about immortality, then it's definitely not a worthwhile deal."
Babata said seriously, "But Chu Yang will be the future ruler of the universe, and that's a different story!"
"Even with immense wealth, it's virtually impossible to persuade a cosmic ruler to intervene!"
Luo Feng nodded and said, "I know, so I was just venting. Besides, the points weren't part of the agreement, and I can make up for the cash shortfall by earning points."
At this point, Luo Feng was furious. When he first became a core member, the Virtual Universe Company gave him an initial amount of points.
As a result, at Babata's urging, he spent all his points, so much so that when True King Qidian bought the Bloodstained Manual later, Luo Feng could only watch helplessly!
"It's time to conquer the Heavenly Bridge. Once we get past the first level, we can buy the Bloodstained Manual!"
Luo Feng's gaze was resolute as he entered the virtual universe. (End of Chapter)
