Chapter 975: Re-fighting Weigu (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Fifty years later

In the garden of Tianhai Residence, beneath the Void Tree, now grown to five meters tall and bearing green leaves.

“Huhuh~”

A gentle breeze stirred, releasing invisible power from the green leaves.

Lin Qi, clad in a black robe, sat cross-legged beneath the tree; his mind felt cool and operated at high speed.

Before him appeared a series of silver spherical beads, emitting a silvery luster.

On each bead floated silver arcane patterns.

Simultaneously, the patterns surged like waves, each containing countless spaces.

In his perception, from the ten great suns, the sun representing the Space Law unleashed its power, encircling his body.

Each silver, smooth bead was the essence condensed from the Space Law.

It was the ultimate expression of Lin Qi’s mastery over the Space Law.

【You successfully observed Volume Four of the Void Scripture, “Yu Guang Mi Jie,” and mastered the 80th subtlety of the Opening True Meaning of Space Law.】

【You have successfully mastered the Opening True Meaning!】

【Your template fusion rate +0.5%】

【Template: Yang Jian, the Second Son True Lord】

【Fusion rate: 73% → 73.5%】

…

Lin Qi opened his eyes; within them, the stars seemed to revolve.

An invisible, fragrant scent filled the air.

He looked up at the Void Tree before him; the invisible ripples moments ago had emanated from the tree.

He felt his entire aura had grown significantly stronger.

Seeing the information on his panel, he felt much more at ease.

He had finally fully mastered the fourth True Meaning of the Space Law.

And this took less than eight hundred years.

Faster than he had imagined by two hundred years, due to the cumulative effect of multiple factors.

He possessed the Void Tree, which granted him divine assistance in comprehending the Space Law.

He also had Ice Heart Elixir, keeping him nearly constantly in a state of insight.

And he observed chaotic wonders.

That was the most crucial factor.

Each time, he observed for ten years, then spent ninety years absorbing and digesting.

Then he resumed observation.

In eight hundred years, he observed for eighty years, spending 9.6 billion cultivation points.

This was no small sum; many geniuses of the Four Cosmic Realms could not afford such a single expenditure of cultivation points.

Yet he could afford it—and even spent far more.

In eleven hundred years, he had spent over twenty billion cultivation points.

But his remaining cultivation points still exceeded six hundred billion.

He had also purchased many heavenly treasures and earthly essences.

The rate of consumption was truly astonishing.

Had he not cleared the Dream Bridge and obtained 55 billion cultivation points,

He would have been nearly bankrupt.

Yet these vast cultivation points were not spent in vain.

He had now successfully mastered the fourth True Meaning; all he needed was to convert them all into martial arts techniques to proceed to the second trial.

Thinking of this, he turned and walked to the training ground.

“Hum!”

The Jin Ting Great Spear appeared in his hand.

The spear shaft was entirely black, inlaid with four-colored patterns: gold, purple, silver, and blood-red.

Three of these represented his three Gangjin laws.

The fourth represented his blood.

The entire spear was bound to his bloodline—the perfect weapon for him, offering zero resistance when wielded.

Even if damaged, it could absorb metallic substances to restore itself.

It could also absorb source energy to recover.

But absorbing source energy was too slow; absorbing metal was far better.

Thus, when Lin Qi’s weapon sustained damage in the future, he would not need to spend heavily on repairs—he could simply buy some metal to restore it.

And it might even be cheaper.

Moreover, this was immensely convenient in battle.

If damage occurred mid-battle and he could not immediately return to the Sacred Land for repairs,

Continuing to fight would severely impair his combat power.

Now, however, it was different.

He could restore it anytime, anywhere.

“Hummm!!”

Lin Qi’s body radiated three lights; three Gangjin forces erupted from within him.

They merged into the Jin Ting Great Spear; the spear trembled, its arcane patterns glowing.

The Gangjin forces fused within, amplified, and when released through spear techniques, their power surged dramatically.

He thrust the Jin Ting Great Spear forward with sudden force.

In an instant, the spear tip sliced through space; space tore open automatically.

The source energy required to tear space with Gangjin alone was entirely different from that needed to tear it with Space Law.

No power was wasted in its application.

Simultaneously, due to his superior mastery of the Space Law, he could harness the cutting force within the spatial rifts.

As he mastered more True Meanings, the complex and vast power of the Space Law could be fully mobilized.

Space was torn and controlled by him, allowing him to unleash spatial blades.

These blades possessed unparalleled killing power.

Especially when combined with other Gangjin forces.

Once struck, even resilient flesh would be cut apart like cloth before a blade.

He swung the great spear, slowly executing the “Great Universe Rift-Splitting Spear Scripture.”

The Void Gangjin force was skillfully mobilized.

Simultaneously, the power of the Space Law continuously merged into the spear techniques.

Within the scripture, ten levels were defined.

Each level incorporated one True Meaning of the Space Law.

As he performed the spear techniques, his figure grew hazy.

Sometimes his body vanished abruptly—he had retreated into a space he had opened.

This allowed him to easily evade opponents’ attacks.

He could hide within it.

Yet this process was extremely dangerous.

It demanded precise control of the Law; a single misstep could trap him inside, with his opponent destroying the spatial structure.

Various spatial collapses, cutting forces, and annihilation energies would erupt.

He would not only fail to evade attacks but suffer severe injury himself.

Thus, he needed to master the Compression True Meaning.

This would strengthen his control and allow better application of this ability.

Otherwise, it would be far too difficult.

Even though the Tian Shen Clan’s Xuan Ge and Yi Ang had both mastered the Opening True Meaning,

They never used it in battle.

Primarily because it was too dangerous.

It was simpler and faster to use teleportation to kill opponents.

Lin Qi swung his spear, continuously integrating True Meanings into it.

He could feel that as the Opening True Meaning merged into the techniques, certain control methods, when combined with the Gold Law and Thunder Law,

Gained far greater variation.

And underwent a qualitative transformation.

Like a world with only one Law—monotonous; only when multiple Laws combine can a complete whole emerge.

“Chii!!”

He thrust his spear forward; space tore open, gales raged, and the three Law forces swirled at the spear’s tip.

A spear thrust pierced through space instantly.

The sharpness of Gold, the fury of Lightning, the devouring of Space…

The power of these three laws could merge perfectly together.

The technique formed was terrifyingly powerful.

Long ago, Lin Qi had already discovered that the ten laws were not separate—they could merge with one another.

But due to the difficulty of comprehension, most geniuses could only comprehend one to two laws.

The more laws one comprehended, the greater the power when they were fused and unleashed.

He was now exactly like that.

The combination of three laws gave his techniques a power greater than the sum of their parts—1+1+1>3—so Yi Ang’s comprehended laws were stronger than his.

Yet he was still no match for him.

He practiced his spear technique, simultaneously refining its killing moves.

He had mastered the true essence of four Space laws and could wield their four great killing moves.

The power of each move grew stronger than the last.

But he needed to refine these killing moves, making them better suit himself.

Each killing move differed completely, depending on how many true essences were fused within it.

The difficulty of applying each law also varied entirely.

All required time and cultivation from him.

But now he had time—he could take it slowly.

…

Another fifty years later

The training ground remained shrouded in the Purple Gold Domain.

Within it, a figure swung a great spear, its spearlight piercing ten kilometers across the training ground, covering the entire area.
