Chapter 249: The Powerful Sacred Hall

Seeing Li Yang arrive, several of the assembled geniuses began to whisper among themselves.

"Haha, Li Yang."

From not far off, the boisterous voice of the brawny youth, Mute, called out, "I got here a whole ten days before you did."

"Ten days early?" Li Yang glanced around the vast plaza.

It was clear that the three thousand geniuses had not all arrived yet.

His gaze fell on the mysterious runes in the void. "Mute, are you all looking at these runes?"

"We are."

Mute smiled. "You should take a look too, Li Yang. These mysterious runes are incredibly beneficial."

Li Yang nodded and tried to comprehend them.

A few seconds after he began, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

’Fluctuations of the Space Law... and the Thunder Law!’

The mysterious runes contained fluctuations from all sorts of Laws, but most were too subtle for Li Yang to perceive. However, he clearly detected the Space Law and the Thunder Law!

Li Yang was familiar with the sensation of his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and Thunder Star Beast avatars comprehending Laws. It was like watching a machine and trying to analyze its inner workings.

But now, as Li Yang looked at the mysterious runes in the sky, he felt as if that machine had been sliced open for him to see.

It’s hard to learn anything from looking at a complete machine, but once it’s been cut open, you can obviously see much more!

At this moment, Li Yang felt a host of new insights into the Space Law and Thunder Law stirring within him!

This stimulus was far stronger than the effect of observing the law imprints on the Path of Deities!

Based on his perception, the effect was at least three times stronger!

’The effect is incredible!’

Li Yang was so excited he wished he could sit down and begin comprehending them immediately!

"Haha, you feel it, don’t you?" Mute said with a laugh, noticing the excited look on Li Yang’s face.

"These mysterious runes in the sky were laid out by the top experts of the Eternal Saint Hall at great cost," Mute explained. "They divided the complete Laws into innumerable tiny parts and imprinted them into the void."

Mute sighed with admiration. "A complete Law is like a machine. The top experts of the Eternal Saint Hall have essentially dismantled this machine into countless tiny components. Our job is to familiarize ourselves with each component, one by one, until we can eventually reassemble them. Succeeding in that complete reassembly is how one becomes an eternal Deity."

"My master, Emperor Kui Lang, can create these mysterious runes within his own domain, but when he imprints them in the void, they only last for a short time. They can’t remain permanently. And their effect is undoubtedly much weaker than what we have here."

"In all my years of cultivation, my master has only demonstrated this for me five times, and each session lasted only two months."

"The Eternal Saint Hall of the Human Race is truly worthy of its reputation. Not only are these dismantled Laws completely imprinted in the void, they can also exist here permanently. What’s even more astonishing is that their effect is countless times stronger than what my master can produce."

As Mute marveled, Li Yang, though inwardly thrilled, felt a sense of helplessness.

The Emperor Level factions on the major Star Continents had access to this. The top geniuses from each Star Continent present had likely encountered it before. But he clearly hadn’t; this was his very first time experiencing it.

"Alright, Mute. No more talking. I’m going to start comprehending." Without wasting another word, Li Yang quickly sat down cross-legged and, like the other geniuses, began to carefully study the mysterious law runes.

"You and your antics..." Mute rolled his eyes at Li Yang’s eagerness.

Still, he didn’t waste any more time either and resumed his own comprehension.

’What a marvelous feeling.’

Li Yang observed the mysterious runes.

"ROAR!"

Back on Earth, his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and Thunder Star Beast avatars let out low roars, their eyes filled with unmistakable excitement.

At this moment, their comprehension speed for the Space Law and Thunder Law had undeniably increased—by at least fifty percent!

These avatars would naturally master the profundities of their respective Laws as they matured. With their comprehension speed now boosted by fifty percent, the effect was easy to imagine.

’I have to keep comprehending!’

Excited, Li Yang completely immersed himself in the process.

...

Time passed, and more geniuses arrived.

After five more days, the final genius at last arrived.

All three thousand geniuses were now gathered in the immense plaza.

WHOOSH!

Once they had all arrived, a figure flashed in the air above the plaza, and a middle-aged man from the Dragon-man Race appeared.

"We pay our respects to the Longyan Emperor!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man of the Dragon-man Race, Li Yang and the other geniuses all spoke with the utmost respect.

"Mm."

The Longyan Emperor gave a faint smile. "Since everyone has arrived, you will now follow me into the Eternal Saint Hall."

They were currently on the very outskirts of the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall.

The crowd of geniuses followed obediently.

When they reached a certain spot, the Longyan Emperor waved his right hand, and a massive Space Teleportation Array materialized.

’We have to use a Space Teleportation Array to get in?’ Li Yang was taken aback by the sight.

He wasn’t the only one; many of the other geniuses also looked puzzled.

The Longyan Emperor seemed to anticipate their confusion. He stated calmly, "The domain occupied by the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall is equivalent in size to an entire Star Continent."

BOOM!

His words hit them like a thunderclap, and the eyes of many geniuses filled with utter shock.

A Star Continent contained hundreds of millions of galaxies. How vast was that?

And yet the territory of a single faction, the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, was actually the size of an entire Star Continent!

Li Yang was also utterly shocked. ’No wonder we need to use a Space Teleportation Array.’

Without a Space Teleportation Array, flying manually would mean they probably wouldn’t get very far even after several years.

"Haha, Li Yang, the Eternal Saint Hall is one of the two great holy lands of the Human Race, and it’s filled with countless experts! Between it and the Hunyuan Martial Dao Saint Realm, the two holy lands contain over ninety percent of all the experts in the entire Human Race! So it’s only natural for it to be the size of a Star Continent."

Just then, Soul Ink’s voice rang out in Li Yang’s mind.

Hearing this, Li Yang asked, ’Soul Ink, were you once part of the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall?’

Soul Ink had features characteristic of the Human Race, but even now, Li Yang had no idea which faction he belonged to.

"Heh heh."

Hearing Li Yang’s question, Soul Ink just chuckled twice without answering.

Seeing that Soul Ink was unwilling to answer, Li Yang inwardly cursed, ’Old fox,’ and didn’t press the matter.

The group entered the Teleportation Array. It took a full day before they finally exited.

One had to understand that with Teleportation Arrays, the stronger the creator, the faster the transit. They operated on the principle of folding space, bringing two distant locations together so that traversing a short distance was equivalent to traveling from one place to the other.

The stronger the creator, the larger the area that could be folded.

In a place like the Eternal Saint Hall, which was teeming with experts, the Space Teleportation Array was bound to be the fastest in the entire Human Race. And yet, the journey had still taken a full day!
