Chapter 947

Lin Qi continued flipping through the secret technique, where the text had been recorded.

In the comprehension of the Tear Truth, it was broken down into twenty subtle aspects, all of which must be fully understood to achieve complete mastery.

It had twelve more subtleties than the Concealment Truth, and the difficulty of comprehension was also much higher.

It wasn’t just because there were more subtleties.

The subtleties themselves were even more profound.

Lin Qi observed these twenty subtleties; the second volume provided detailed explanations for each.

Written in the universal language of the cosmos, the content was obscure and hard to grasp—each character seemed understandable, but together they made no sense at all, utterly alien.

Even top geniuses found mastering spatial laws painfully difficult.

Their minds calculated faster than any computer.

Yet it still took tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of years to fully comprehend spatial laws.

Lin Qi, upon his first glance, also found it extraordinarily complex.

It felt several times more intricate than the Concealment Truth subtleties he had previously comprehended.

He still had absolute confidence in his own insight, but mastering it would require immense time.

He rapidly flipped through the second volume—each book contained nothing but its contents.

Besides explaining the subtleties, it also contained combat techniques developed from the Tear Truth.

Even without weapons, one could still deploy them in battle.

They could broaden one’s thinking and even be integrated into spear techniques and body movements.

One could even derive their own combat technique from them.

He kept thinking: The Great Cosmos Rift Spear Scripture was exquisitely refined, and when wielded, its combat power was astonishing.

But it wasn’t tailored specifically for him.

Many beings of the fifth cosmic realm began creating scriptures.

Some even modified their cultivation scriptures to better suit themselves.

Some went so far as to create the most perfect scripture for themselves, pushing their combat power to its limit.

He had the same idea.

Although his comprehension of spatial laws was still insufficient.

He felt both the Great Cosmos Rift Spear Scripture and the Void Drifting Technique had room for improvement.

They couldn’t match the original creator’s refinement, but they could be perfected to suit him better.

As his understanding of the laws deepened, the spear technique and body movement would become even more tailored to him.

He thought this was excellent.

Thinking of this, the teachings of the Cosmic Light Secret Exposition surfaced again in his mind.

Vast amounts of content emerged, revealing complex and abstract patterns corresponding to the Tear Truth.

After finishing the second volume of the Book of Void, he immediately recalled the Cosmic Light Secret Exposition.

He aligned the two transmissions and studied them together.

This was the most effective approach.

His fingers moved like a brush, sweeping through the air, manipulating ambient matter to condense into a new symbol.

Like a precise ruler tracing patterns from ancient paintings, he drew geometric forms within it.

Eventually, these formed symbols, tightly interwoven into secret runes.

The runes grew increasingly complex, even becoming abstract.

Lin Qi’s mind also spun rapidly.

He contemplated the essence of space, using the secret runes to cultivate and comprehend their subtleties.

After a while, he had to stop and take a bottle of Ice Heart Elixir.

To temporarily boost his insight and continue studying.

He had bought twenty bottles of Ice Heart Elixir; he estimated they’d last a while.

If not enough, he could buy more.

【You observed the second volume of the Book of Void and cultivated the Cosmic Light Secret Exposition, gaining insight into the first subtlety of the Tear Truth. Spatial Law +1】

【Your comprehension of Spatial Law +1】

……

Time slowly passed, and countless spatial secret runes appeared around Lin Qi.

In his mind, countless runes rotated, consuming immense mental energy.

His spiritual power also drained rapidly.

Simultaneously, the Ice Heart Elixir overtaxed his insight.

He also needed Spirit Soul Elixir to recover.

Yet Lin Qi felt only exhilaration—he kept gaining insights without a single blockage.

It felt incredibly smooth, mesmerizing.

Though spatial complexity remained daunting, he kept breaking it down into individual challenges to overcome.

Watching his slow progress.

It gave him strong motivation to keep going.

After all, facing the profound and intricate spatial laws over long ages.

Not everyone could maintain such high efficiency.

Most needed long periods of rest to recover.

Sometimes, centuries of insight yielded no significant progress.

That feeling was indeed agonizing.

Without progress, many beings grew complacent.

Some even sought to rely on Chaos Treasures.

If even Chaos Treasures failed to help, they might gradually give up.

This was the plight of many fifth cosmic realm beings.

After the fifth cosmic realm, advancement in realm and combat power relied more on law comprehension.

If law comprehension couldn’t improve, one truly hit a dead end.

Lin Qi knew many fifth cosmic realm beings who, upon feeling their spatial law insight stalled, simply gave up.

They began enjoying life or poured energy into their descendants.

Their cultivation time steadily decreased, since their lifespans were so long.

It wasn’t just fifth cosmic realm beings.

Even from the fourth cosmic realm, it began.

After all, the most numerous beings in the supreme factions were galaxy-level geniuses.

Many geniuses got stuck at the peak of the fourth cosmic realm and couldn’t break through.

As time passed, if they remained unable to breakthrough, they gradually chose to give up.

They chose to nurture descendants.

Hoping one of them might birth a star-domain level genius—then they’d strike it rich.

After a brief reflection, he returned to his cultivation.

……

One year later, Tianhai Residence

“Master, time’s up!”

“Huhuh!!”

In the training ground, Lin Qi, clad in a black robe, heard Xiao Chan’s voice.

He snapped back to awareness and exhaled.

A light breeze passed, and all the spatial secret runes floating in the air dissolved with it.

Silver light streamed abundantly from Lin Qi’s eyes.

After a year, though he had gained much,

Still, comprehending even one subtlety was too difficult.

Meanwhile, within his source-core world, he was absorbing the World Leaf.

The golden continent continued expanding.

It had now grown to nearly sixty thousand kilometers.

His physical strength also kept increasing.

As it continued rising, his power would grow even stronger.

Thinking of this, he went to awaken the six others.

……

“Boom!”

In the villa’s grand hall, six figures descended the stairs.

At this moment, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, the War God, and the Mountain River King had undergone tremendous changes.

Their entire aura was barely contained, vastly strengthened.

Sun Sheng, a man of imposing stature, his eyes blazing with crimson light, said:

“I feel amazing right now.”

“My perception of the world has changed entirely.”

“This is still before the transformation is complete; once it’s fully finished, I feel I’ll undergo a complete metamorphosis.”
