Chapter 493: Chapter 247: Space Rule Crystal

Wizard Tower, Meditation Room.

Pei Ze sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes tightly shut.

His hands, clasped together in his lap, held the Plane Pearl.

Upon closer inspection, one could see the air around him faintly distorting, making his entire figure appear hazy and ephemeral from a distance, like a mirage.

About half an hour later, Pei Ze slowly opened his eyes, ending his cultivation session.

"Omniscience, check my current status."

[Rule of Space: 0.12%]

[Rule of Lightning: 16.38%]

Looking at the data from the Eye of Omniscience, Pei Ze couldn’t help but shake his head.

He had cultivated for a full year. While the Eye of Omniscience analyzed the Rule of Space, he had dedicated himself completely to comprehending the Plane Pearl. Even so, his grasp of the Rule of Space had only increased by 0.11%.

At this rate, it would take him at least nine hundred years to fully master the Rule of Space and advance to become a Rule Wizard.

To be honest, this speed was by no means slow.

For any other Sixth-level Wizard, if they had the chance to master the Rule of Space, they would find even nine thousand years a worthy price to pay, let alone nine hundred.

If it weren’t for the omniscient and omnipotent Eye of Omniscience, Pei Ze would never have been able to even touch upon the Rule of Space.

However, for Pei Ze, who was accustomed to rapid increases in power, nine hundred years was still far too long.

’Looks like I really do have to enter the Holy Land,’ Pei Ze sighed softly.

The Rule of Lightning, on the other hand, presented a stark contrast. He hadn’t been comprehending it at all lately, nor had he even visited the Thunder Elemental Plane to condense the Power of Thunder Rules, yet it had still increased by 0.1%—the polar opposite of his progress with the Rule of Space.

’If I were to advance using the Rule of Lightning, it probably wouldn’t even take thirty years,’ Pei Ze mused.

It was worth mentioning that Pei Ze had taken some time to visit the Abyss, hoping to see if he could accelerate his comprehension of the Rule of Space through bloody battles.

The results were disappointing. It had almost no effect.

His normal comprehension practice was faster.

Just as Pei Ze had predicted, the planar boons from killing Mid-Low Tier Evil Demons no longer had any significant effect on him.

He would only see a noticeable improvement if he slaughtered demons on the level of Forgefiends or Fallen Angels in large numbers.

However, that was simply impossible.

Last time, he had only taken out a dozen or so Fallen Angels before a Sixth-level Demon General had appeared to hunt him down.

If he really started slaughtering Fallen Angels or Forgefiends en masse, he was afraid the one to appear and deal with him would be a Duke of the Devil.

That was a mighty being capable of going toe-to-toe with Rule Wizards and Divine Spirits.

If Pei Ze encountered one, it would mean certain death.

Not even his Wizard Tower would be enough to save him.

Therefore, his only hope lay with the Holy Land.

’There’s only a year and two months left. That’s not enough time to make much progress comprehending the Rule of Space... Should I focus on the Rule of Lightning instead?’

Pei Ze was tempted by the idea.

A Sixth-level Wizard’s power was primarily determined by the depth of their rule comprehension.

The Rule of Space was certainly far more powerful than the Rule of Lightning, but its progress was ultimately too slow.

An increase of 0.1% in the Rule of Space didn’t provide a more significant power boost than an increase of 1% in the Rule of Lightning.

Using the remaining time to comprehend the Rule of Lightning would definitely result in a greater power increase than comprehending the Rule of Space.

And the stronger he was, the more confident he would be in securing a spot for the Holy Land.

Pei Ze didn’t hesitate for long before making his decision.

"Omniscience, analyze the Rule of Lightning."

[Task created. Commencing analysis of the Rule of Lightning.]

Pei Ze then turned his attention back to the Rule of Space.

Besides improving the Rule of Lightning, there was another way to strengthen himself in a short amount of time.

That was to condense the Power of Spatial Rules.

If the Power of Thunder Rules could be condensed, then of course, the same could be done for the Rule of Space.

If he could master the Power of Spatial Rules, even to a limited extent, the boost to his strength would be significant.

After all, most Sixth-level Wizards could only manipulate Soul Power imbued with the properties of a rule.

Only a rare few Sixth-level Wizards on the verge of a breakthrough could possibly wield the true Power of Rules, and even then, only to a limited extent.

You could count the number of such Wizards in the entire Star Realm Alliance on two hands.

Furthermore, most of them comprehended the Rule of Elements; very few comprehended superior rules.

As for the highest-tier rules like Space and Time, there were none at all.

If he could wield the Power of Spatial Rules, it would undoubtedly be a massive advantage.

"Omniscience, deduce a method for condensing the Power of Spatial Rules."

[Task created. Commencing deduction of a method for condensing the Power of Spatial Rules.]

With the method for condensing the Power of Thunder Rules as a precedent, this deduction was completed very quickly.

In less than half a day, the Eye of Omniscience returned with a new method.

’Next is to find the "raw materials" for the conversion.’

The Power of Thunder Rules could be created by compressing a massive amount of the Power of Thunder Element, but Spatial Elements did not exist in this world.

The method provided by the Eye of Omniscience involved extracting the free-floating energy within spatial turbulence and compressing it in vast quantities to convert it into the Power of Spatial Rules.

The principle behind this method was essentially the same as that for converting the Power of Thunder Rules; only the "raw materials" were different.

Considering that maintaining a spatial rift and converting the free-floating spatial energy would consume a massive amount of power, Pei Ze went directly to the first floor of the Wizard Tower, preparing to use the Secondary Elemental Melting Furnace as a power supply.

Sitting cross-legged, Pei Ze swiped two fingers through the air, and a rift split open in the void. Inside, the faint, distorted shimmer of multicolored light could be seen.

At the same time, the surrounding Crystal Traces lit up one after another, forming a protective barrier to prevent the spatial turbulence from escaping and affecting the other floors of the tower.

Extracting free-floating energy from spatial turbulence was an extremely dangerous affair.
