Chapter 1602: A Century of Enlightenment

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, more than a decade had passed.

On this day, a spatial fluctuation once again emanated from the space node.

Leng Yu shuddered, abruptly opening his eyes, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan.

Impossible! It's only been a dozen years, and he has already comprehended the late stage of the first level of the Space Law?

Leng Yu wondered if it was just an illusion, considering he himself was only at the late first level!

Back then, he had spent over ten thousand years to reach this stage and had even been quite pleased with himself.

After all, he was the only one who had survived entering the spatial inheritance.

But now, this beardless youth had actually caught up with him!

Leng Yu was instantly thrown into disarray!

Over the years, he had often dismissed Ye Yuan.

Not that he meant any harm, but he felt Ye Yuan was wasting his life.

He believed that one day Ye Yuan would regret it.

But now, he realized how ignorant he had been.

The other had taken only a dozen years to go from the middle stage to the late stage!

The gap could only be described as the difference between clouds and mud.

What was that saying?

No comparison, no harm!

Finally, Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of excitement in his gaze.

The Space Law was indeed completely different from the laws he had comprehended before—it was too difficult!

The spatial structure of the Tongtian Realm was on an entirely different scale from that of the Xianlin World.

Space is the foundation from which all things derive; it is one of the most fundamental forms that constitute this world.

Without space, laws like the Sword Law, the Fire Law, or the Wind Law would have no basis for existence.

The more he comprehended, the more Ye Yuan felt its vastness and profundity.

You... you broke through? Although he knew the answer, Leng Yu couldn't help asking.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "All these years of effort have finally paid off! But you're right, the difficulty of the Space Law truly exceeded my imagination! I'm afraid I won't be able to leave anytime soon."

Ye Yuan wasn't afraid of the dangers of the chaotic space, but being unable to leave for a while made him worry about Li'er and the others.

However, Ye Yuan was still at ease with Xuan Yu; that person had a gentle temperament, and both master and disciple had benefited considerably from him, so he expected they would look after Li'er and the others.

Leng Yu swallowed hard, feeling parched, and said gloomily, "This is the Space Law! Even with heaven-defying talent, I've never heard of anyone breaking through in such a short time! How did you do it?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, comprehending the Space Law was an accident. I had cultivated the Sword Law to the pinnacle of perfection, and that allowed me to draw inferences and unexpectedly comprehend the Space Law."

Leng Yu's gaze sharpened, and he said in surprise, "So... every time you entered the chaotic space, you were actually using the sword to comprehend the Space Law?"

Ye Yuan nodded, which was taken as confirmation.

Leng Yu had never imagined that someone could comprehend the Space Law in this way.

He certainly knew about drawing inferences, but the laws comprehended through this method were usually lower-level ones.

This was the first time he had heard of someone comprehending a higher-level law through a lower-level one!

Although the Sword Law was powerful, it was still far inferior to the Space Law.

Ye Yuan cupped his hands to Leng Yu and smiled, "Brother Leng, I'm going in. If I can comprehend it one day, I'll take you out!"

With that, Ye Yuan took out the Junyi Sword, leaped up, and entered the chaotic space again, leaving Leng Yu standing there dumbfounded.

Suddenly, Leng Yu began to tremble all over.

What did he just say?

I... I can get out?

I, Leng Yu, can actually return one day!

Over these hundred thousand years, Leng Yu had long given up hope of leaving.

He thought he would slowly age and die in this cold space.

But one day, a young man came to him and said, I can take you out.

Who could understand such excitement?

If Ye Yuan had said this when he first arrived, Leng Yu would have scoffed and mocked the other's ignorance.

In fact, that was exactly what he had done.

But now, Leng Yu truly saw hope!

If things continued at this pace, perhaps Ye Yuan really could comprehend the Space Law!

Leng Yu realized that he, the so-called genius, was on an entirely different level from Ye Yuan.

Not just in comprehension, but also in tenacity and the heart of martial arts!

Leng Yu knew that this kind of cultivation was utterly monotonous.

After reaching a higher level, one's mind would inevitably relax.

But Ye Yuan, without pausing for even a moment, threw himself back into cultivation.

Moreover, Ye Yuan would narrowly escape death in the chaotic space, and after healing, he would unhesitatingly enter the chaotic space again.

But what about him?

He was afraid!

He had compromised with death!

But Ye Yuan grew stronger with each setback; he could overcome his fear.

...

Time flew like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, another twenty years had passed.

In the chaotic space, Ye Yuan's figure flickered like a phantom, appearing and disappearing.

Suddenly, he stopped in a certain space, his brows tightly furrowed.

"My first level of the Space Law has been at great perfection for a long time, but I still can't find a breakthrough to the second level. What exactly is the second level?" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.

Very few legacies of the Space Law remained, and even fewer knew its mysteries.

Ye Yuan had stumbled into the first level of the Space Law.

But the second level eluded him for a long time.

Ye Yuan's gaze suddenly fell upon the space above his head.

There, his reflection could be seen.

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and a flash of insight crossed his mind.

...

In the blink of an eye, a century had passed, which was an extremely short time for any divine path expert.

But for Ye Yuan, it felt like ages.

After his rebirth, his total cultivation time amounted to just over a hundred years.

Yet comprehending the Space Law alone had taken him a hundred years.

On this day, Ye Yuan was in seclusion at the space node.

Suddenly, the entire space began to tremble.

The originally stable space node showed signs of collapse.

Leng Yu was greatly startled and said, "What's happening? Hmm? Ye Yuan... he... he has comprehended?"

Leng Xu looked at Ye Yuan and found that although Ye Yuan was clearly right in front of him, he seemed unreal.

This feeling was extremely contradictory.

Over the past century, he had witnessed Ye Yuan's growth and was already full of admiration.

He finally understood that there was an insurmountable gap between him and Ye Yuan.

Genius was no longer enough to describe this young man.

But even so, he hadn't expected this day to come so soon!

"Rumble..."

The space node began to collapse, shattering into countless pieces, and terrifying energy waves pressed toward Leng Yu.

Leng Yu's face changed, and he exclaimed, "Ye Yuan... save... save me!"
