Chapter 1838 Perhaps This Is What They Call a Genius

"Such dense spatial energy!"

As the group arrived outside a barrier, Ye Yuan immediately felt the spatial energy rushing toward him.

Du Rufeng nodded and said, "The Void Heart is the cornerstone of the Void Realm, constructing the entire Huangling Void Realm. Naturally, the spatial energy here is the densest. You are most skilled in the laws of space; perhaps you might gain something."

Ye Yuan nodded, a look of anticipation on his face.

"Stop! Who goes there?" Just as they were about to proceed, two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air and demanded.

The two were dressed in black robes, their auras immensely powerful.

The moment they appeared, Ye Yuan's pupils sharply contracted.

Laws of space!

Both of them had mastered the laws of space, and to a very high degree.

Du Rufeng said loudly, "Kong Wen, Kong Chen, what, you don't even recognize me?"

"Oh, so it's Master Du! You're a rare guest. What brings you here?" Kong Wen laughed.

Du Rufeng chuckled, "The once-in-a-millennium Huangling Tournament is upon us, and I happened to draw this assignment. So I brought these disciples who passed the assessment to let them enter the Void Heart for some insight."

Kong Wen's gaze swept over the five of them, frowned, and said, "So they're new disciples of the Divine Hall. But... the quality of this batch is rather poor. Why is there a mere early-stage First Heaven Divine Lord?"

Over the past year or so, almost every disciple participating in the Huangling Tournament had made significant progress.

Ye Yuan, being one of the standout figures, was naturally no exception.

Not long ago, his cultivation had made a small breakthrough, advancing to the early stage of the First Heaven Divine Lord.

Though still within a minor realm, this cultivation speed was actually quite fast.

After all, ordinary Divine Lord experts measured their breakthroughs in thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

However, Kong Wen's words made everyone's expressions turn strange.

Poor quality?

Ye Yuan's quality was excellent!

Du Rufeng smiled and said, "Hehe, Brother Kong Wen, you've misjudged. Ye Yuan dominated the competition in this Huangling Tournament and was the undisputed first place."

Kong Wen was taken aback, then said with even more disdain, "He's first? Hmph, that only proves this batch of disciples is even worse!"

Du Rufeng was speechless. Unless one had seen Ye Yuan's strength with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe.

"Hmph!"

At that moment, Xiaotong suddenly let out a cold snort.

Only then did Kong Wen and the other man notice that a child had also come along.

But when they saw the treasure pig in the child's hand, their expressions changed drastically.

"Enough, stop the nonsense. Open the barrier and let us in," Du Rufeng said flatly.

Without further ado, Kong Wen and the other man directly produced two artifacts and forcibly opened a door in the barrier.

"You go ahead; I'll follow shortly," Du Rufeng added.

Ye Yuan's eyes flickered, as if lost in thought.

Nevertheless, he followed the others into the barrier.

After they left, Kong Wen said in shock, "That... that child, could it be... that lord?"

Du Rufeng's expression turned grave, and he said in a low voice, "You are well aware of the conflicts among the island masters. It's best if you pretend you saw nothing. Otherwise... the consequences are beyond your ability to bear!"

The two men's eyes sharpened, and they said, "Understood!"

...

Above the void, a massive crystal floated.

Seeing the Heart of the Void Realm, Ye Yuan's mind stirred with excitement.

After lurking in the Huangling Void Realm for so long, he had finally seen the Heart of the Void Realm today.

As long as he opened the Heart of the Void Realm and entered it, he could return to the Tongtian Realm.

"Treasure Pig, can you really open the Heart of the Void Realm?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

The Heart of the Void Realm was usually in a sealed state; the space of the Huangling Void Realm was extremely stable, and its normal operation did not require a fully open state.

It only opened once when new disciples entered.

"Hmph, hmph!"

Treasure Pig grunted at Ye Yuan, as if expressing its dissatisfaction.

Suddenly, its body shook, and two beams of light shot from its nose, flying straight toward the Heart of the Void Realm.

Boom!

The Heart of the Void Realm trembled violently, then burst into dazzling light.

A vast, boundless spatial force spread rapidly, making Ye Yuan's heart feel as if it were floating.

Overjoyed, Ye Yuan tossed a few pills over and laughed, "Well done, Treasure Pig! You're truly amazing!"

Treasure Pig swallowed the pills in one gulp, grinned at Ye Yuan, and then burrowed into his arms.

Xiaotong snorted, "Gluttonous pig!"

Within this barrier, the laws of space began to operate continuously, and Ye Yuan was struck by the force of the laws, almost suffocating.

In fact, the Heart of the Void Realm contained not only the power of spatial laws but also the origin of a realm, akin to the existence of the Heavenly Dao.

This origin power was immensely beneficial to martial artists.

But Ye Yuan was most sensitive to spatial laws, so his insights in this area were the most profound.

Suddenly, a flash of enlightenment struck his mind, and Ye Yuan stood frozen as if struck by lightning.

A flicker of surprise crossed Xiaotong's eyes, and she exclaimed, "He understood so quickly? This kid is really..."

Ye Yuan had been stuck at the third level of spatial laws for a long time. Today, enveloped by this powerful spatial force, he finally gained a spark of enlightenment and began to break through.

The others, witnessing this, were all stunned, their mouths agape.

Luo Zhen smiled bitterly, "Perhaps this is what they call a genius."

Saying this from his own mouth was truly bitter.

For over a thousand years, he had been crowned with the title of genius, and he himself believed it.

Whether in cultivation speed or comprehension of laws, he considered himself second to none.

But today, seeing Ye Yuan comprehend the Dao, his confidence was utterly shattered.

The other four, including Bai Li Qingyan, nodded in deep agreement.

"This is no ordinary law, but one of the supreme laws—spatial law! This guy is truly monstrous!" Li Long couldn't help but spit, thoroughly disheartened.

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Yuan stepped forward, and his body vanished.

Ye Yuan had directly merged into the void.

At that moment, Du Rufeng, Kong Wen, and Kong Chen also entered the barrier and happened to see Ye Yuan vanish into the void, their eyes wide with shock.

"This... this is spatial law! He has comprehended the fourth level of spatial law! This kid is such a prodigy?" Kong Wen exclaimed in astonishment.

"He has accumulated much and burst forth. Encountering the spatial force of the Heart of the Void Realm, his law comprehension directly integrated and enlightened him. This child, I am inferior!" Kong Chen also said.

Even Du Rufeng was shocked beyond words.

He knew Ye Yuan might comprehend the Dao, but he hadn't expected it to be so fast.

The others hadn't even started yet, and he had already comprehended it!
