Chapter 260: Rapid Improvement

"Oh?"

Li Yang looked at Six, unsurprised.

These intelligent life forms were just as smart as any normal person; they weren’t limited to simply following orders.

"Master, you have just joined the Eternal Saint Hall and are comprehending the Space and Thunder Laws," Six said. "On the path of cultivation, things like combat Cultivation Techniques and powerful weapons are all secondary. The most important thing is your own comprehension of the Laws."

Li Yang smiled and nodded. "You’re right."

The Laws are the foundation of everything!

No matter how powerful your combat Cultivation Techniques or your weapons are, they all rely on the Laws.

Take a Tier Ten Divine Weapon, for example. The amount of power you can unleash from it depends entirely on your comprehension of the Laws.

The previous genius selection and the strength test on the Path of Deities’ steps both tested one’s comprehension of the Laws. Weapons and other items could be chosen freely, and their base power was the same. It was the difference in Law comprehension that made the power of the weapons and attacks completely different.

"Six, what do you recommend I choose?" Li Yang asked.

’These intelligent assistants were specially provided by the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall to help us cultivate. They surely know which development path is most suitable for us.’

Six said, "Master, your offensive methods include the Hexagram Spear and the Illusion Body Skill, so you don’t need to redeem anything for offense. You can continue to focus on those. What would help you most right now are Secret Technique manuals that explain the Laws."

It waved its small hand, and streams of information instantly appeared before Li Yang.

"*Basic Introduction to Spatial Laws*: Created by the Soaring Cloud Emperor. A detailed explanation of four Space Profound Skills: Spatial Domain, Teleportation, Space Freeze, and Spatial Collapse. It is divided into thirty-six volumes, corresponding to the four profound skills, with nine volumes for each one. Total price: 1,000,000 contribution points. Can be redeemed separately..."

"*Application of Secret Techniques in Space Law*: Created by the Void Flame Emperor. Contains three thousand six hundred Secret Techniques for applying Space Law, providing much inspiration for comprehending it... Divided into ten volumes. Total price: 1,000,000 contribution points. Can be redeemed separately..."

"*Basic Introduction to Thunder Law*..."

"*Exploring the Thunder Law*..."

...

Numerous Secret Technique manuals explaining the Space Law and Thunder Law appeared, and all of them were created by Emperor Level experts!

Li Yang’s eyes lit up as he looked at the list.

’I’ve never seen any of these in the Yangyuan Empire’s resource library. The cultivation manuals there are mostly created by Deities.’

But here in the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, the level of the Secret Technique manuals was instantly a tier higher!

’Secret Technique manuals created by Emperor Level experts! If word of these got out, I can’t imagine how many people would fight desperately to get them!’

It was obvious that the stronger one was, the deeper their comprehension of the Laws would be. Even if both had fully mastered the Space Law, an Emperor’s application of it would certainly surpass that of a Deity.

’I can even read a small portion of these for free.’ Li Yang’s gaze was filled with excitement as he took a closer look.

’I’m not sure if some of these manuals are suitable for me, but by reading the first part, I should be able to get a general idea.’

Li Yang immediately started reading.

’Space Law... Space Profound Skill... so that’s how it works...’

’These Secret Techniques... so this is how Space Law is applied...’

Li Yang studied them carefully, growing more and more excited.

Previously, he had been comprehending the Space Law all on his own. Even with his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone, which had an innate grasp of the Teleportation profound skill, Li Yang still encountered many difficulties and was not skilled in applying the Space Law.

But through the explanations of the Space Law before him, this incomparably complex and profound Law was broken down into countless smaller parts. The Secret Techniques created by the Void Flame Emperor—all three thousand six hundred of them—were especially inspiring to him. They even gave him great insights into his Hexagram Spear cultivation.

The Hexagram Spear was a fusion of the Space and Thunder Laws. To be precise, Secret Techniques, offensive methods, and the like were all just applications of the Laws.

ROAR!

As Li Yang read, back on Earth, his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon clone’s eyes were filled with excitement as it, too, rapidly comprehended the new insights.

Soon, he finished the free portion.

’That’s it?’ Li Yang thought, looking at the blank space that followed, his eyes shining with excitement.

’As expected of a Secret Technique manual created by an Emperor Level expert.’

He felt that just from reading the manual, his comprehension speed of the Space Law had suddenly increased.

"Redeem!"

Without hesitation, Li Yang redeemed the first volume of both the *Basic Introduction to Spatial Laws* and the *Application of Secret Techniques in Space Law*.

Even though the total price for both full manuals was very expensive, the first volumes together cost him twenty thousand contribution points.

After that, Li Yang also redeemed the first volume of both the *Basic Introduction to Thunder Law* and *Exploring the Thunder Law*, which cost him another twenty thousand-plus contribution points.

All told, after redeeming the manuals, his contribution points were cut in half.

Despite this, Li Yang was filled with excitement and eagerly began to read.

He remained engrossed in them for a full ten days.

Finally, Li Yang stopped.

"Absolutely incredible," he marveled. In just ten days, his comprehension of the Laws had made immense progress!

It wasn’t that he had understood everything in the manuals; rather, he had absorbed so much that he needed some time to digest it all.

As he marveled, Li Yang was sitting cross-legged in a pool of purple water.

If one were to sense it, one could feel the dense Spiritual Power within the purple liquid!

This was a pool that could rapidly increase one’s strength!

In ten days, Li Yang had made great progress in comprehending the Laws, and his own strength had also improved significantly.

The Spiritual Power in the purple liquid was incredibly dense. As Li Yang submerged himself in it, it rapidly increased his strength while also tempering his physical body, allowing him to better adapt to his growing power.

’At this rate, I estimate I can reach the Peak of Longevity Realm in less than a year.’

Going from the Early Longevity Realm to the Peak of Longevity Realm required a massive amount of energy.

His rate of improvement wasn’t actually that fast.

However, Li Yang wasn’t in a hurry. He could soak in the purple pool while cultivating, slowly improving without much effort.

’I can’t just comprehend Laws all the time. It’s time to go listen to the lectures from Flame Wave Sect Master and the others.’ Li Yang walked out of his palace.

He had already looked up the schedule for the Flame Wave Sect Master’s lectures, which was why he had stopped his comprehension of the Laws now.

Otherwise, he would have definitely continued reading the manuals.

Li Yang arrived before a huge palace. "This is the place."

"Look, it’s Li Yang."

"He came for Flame Wave Sect Master’s lecture. The Sect Master must want to take Li Yang as his disciple."

"Right. With Li Yang’s Talent, powerful Deities will definitely want him as a disciple. The fact that he came here means the Flame Wave Sect Master is surely one of them."

Inside the palace were several other geniuses, the very same ones who had participated in the competition with Li Yang.
