Chapter 88 The Essence of the Void, Fusion of Laws

"The log shows that the instrument detected a space outside the normal space, somewhat similar to the outer space structure of many worlds. However, the scale ratio of the two spaces is 1008.1 to 1. Because this value is too exaggerated, this situation has never appeared in the previous dungeon worlds of the Immortal Alliance."

"So the problem that this algorithm hadn't exposed before has now been revealed."

According to an official from the Immortal Alliance.

"I heard that this testing instrument was developed by more than a dozen True Lords. How could such an error occur?" Seeing my astonished expression.

"Ahem, actually, the instrument itself isn't the problem; the issue is with the algorithm program, and the instrument's program was outsourced..."

The mystery of the spatial extent being displayed as 0 has finally been solved, and the true measured value of the spatial extent can be calculated based on the raw data collected by the instrument.

"The detection lasted for a total of five minutes, and the detected area increased over time. The data in the first minute was 33 trillion, in the second minute it was 79 trillion, and in the third minute..."

Based on the raw data, manual calculations were performed:

"211 trillion, 632 trillion, 1483 trillion... This base and growth rate are, uh, level seven dungeon."

The official paused for a moment, then, under the watchful eye of the True Immortal of Pillar Mountain, blatantly lied and reported it as level seven.

But when I appeared in person, I smiled.

This data is definitely at level eight or above. Whether it is level eight or nine requires further testing.

However, there's no need for that anymore. Every year, there are instances in the Immortal Alliance where dungeon ratings are underestimated... although not as exaggerated as Ye Yang's, it does happen.

These underestimated dungeon owners, even if they grow stronger and use their resources to re-evaluate their rankings, will not disclose this information to the public.

Now, the three of them—master, disciples, and ancestors—don't want to attract too much attention.

If Ye Yang is level eight, that's fine, but if he's really level nine as he himself judged... then it really can't be hidden anymore.

The detection was stopped, and under the monitoring of the spirit of the Immortal Network Central Hub, the dungeon rating information was re-recorded.

Ye Yang's personal profile has been updated: 'Instance Level: Seven'

……

The apprentice-acceptance ceremony is being prepared, and the best auspicious location and date have been selected.

Ye Yang also learned about the composition of his lineage:

My master saw that I had previously taken in several students and wanted to impart the true essence of martial arts to them, but either they lacked talent or gave up halfway.

And none of them formally became apprentices.

Therefore, Ye Yang is the eldest disciple.

Among the disciples of the True Immortal Jianwo, there are a total of 17 people. Of these, 12 are still alive today. Among them are two True Immortals, and the other three, like the True Immortal Jianwo, have already achieved the Great Dao and are preparing for ascension.

There are 83 people of the same generation as Ye Yang.

Previously, Ye Yang was quite inconspicuous among these 83 people, but now...

I once told Ye Yang that the True Immortal of Zhushan was prepared to exchange two immortal positions for a Star Lord senior with the "True Spirit Refining Heart Dao Meridian" to customize and improve his clone supernatural power.

It must meet both Ye Yang's requirements and the requirements of "True Meaning Martial Arts".

The True Meaning Martial Arts was likely more deeply understood by the True Immortal of Zhushan than by the True Immortal I, and it can be said that it was created by the combined efforts of these two masters and disciples.

Ye Yang couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen me in person?"

"Master, besides you, there are three other senior uncles in our sect waiting for resources to ascend to immortality. Yet, our grandmaster directly gave me two immortal positions to customize clone abilities. Isn't this a bit too much..."

"A waste?" Seeing my genuine appearance, I chuckled and said, "You probably don't understand the importance of the [Void] to the entire Immortal Alliance."

"If dungeons and the Gates of All Heavens represent the development of countless cultivators... then the Void represents the future of the entire Immortal Alliance!"

"Including survival, security, and development."

"The vast void in the universe is currently tearing galaxies apart, turning them into scattered stars... What will happen if things continue to evolve? If even planets, rocks, molecules, and atoms are eventually torn apart, what future is there to speak of?"

"And this power is the [Void]."

"Refining black holes and refining the void are currently the only two paths to break through to the Celestial Venerable realm. And both paths are inseparable from the [Void]."

"Furthermore, the Immortal Alliance's greatest enemy is the 'Void Cult.' To eliminate them, we must first understand them and study the void."

"The Immortal Alliance's emphasis on talent in the [Void] realm has reached an extraordinary level."

"You think those two immortal positions were given by your grandmaster? No, they were actually given by our ancestor, True Lord Jili. However, the distribution of resources within the Dao lineage must be fair, at least on the surface, so your grandmaster's name was used."

"So there's no need to belittle yourself. The fact that you've mastered the first level of the 'Great Void Refining Spirit' so quickly makes you worthy of investment."

"I envy you so much that I can't even get this much. You should take this opportunity. As long as you can enter the inner circle of the Immortal Alliance in the future and fight for the interests of the Dao lineage, that will be enough."

Ye Yang nodded solemnly: "Disciple understands."

……

A month later, Ye Yang returned to Ziteng University.

When I returned to school, everything was different.

Congratulations to our student Ye Yang for joining the Supreme Immortal Martial Arts Cult!

A large line of "good news" scrolled on the giant light screen along with other announcements.

"Who is this Ye Yang? Why does that name sound familiar?"

"Hmm? This senior Ye Yang is very low-key. In terms of fame, he is far less well-known than some of the most famous people in our school."

"Pfft... Senior? Have you guys forgotten? This Ye Yang was the one who was quite famous among the freshmen last year."

"Huh? Freshman year?!"

"Joining the Daoist lineage in their freshman year? What kind of extraordinary person is this?"

The students passing by were all discussing it.

Ye Yang walked past, wearing a mask and expressionless.

The apprenticeship ceremony has ended, and he has officially joined the Jili Dao Clan.

Although the ceremony was not held in a grand manner, several True Immortals and a large number of high-level cultivators were present.

In the eyes of the average college student, this is a high-class gathering that one would never be able to attend in their lifetime!

Ye Yang also got to know many fellow cultivators in the Dao lineage through this.

He addressed Nascent Soul and even Void Transformation cultivators as fellow disciples... During this month in the permanent Heng Star System of the Jili Dao Meridian, he spent most of his time attending various gatherings and socializing.

But Ye Yang himself still prefers the years of cultivating alone.

"The Vacuum Illusion Technique cannot be used at all in the Immortal Alliance world... Let alone an illusion, it's impossible to even incorporate a trace of spatial laws into footwork."

"The spatial laws on both sides are too different!"

While waiting for Ziteng Trading Company to finish testing his second batch of Devouring World Specialties, Ye Yang continued to cultivate the Vacuum Illusion Body.

Occasionally, he would try to use his illusionary form in the world of the Immortal Alliance, but without exception, he always failed miserably.

"Time and space, time and space, Master and Grandmaster both said that the laws of time and space in the Immortal Alliance world are very special, time and space are one... Even if you comprehend the laws of time or space in some dungeon worlds, it is very difficult to transfer them to the Immortal Alliance world through 'Dao'."

"Time and space are one, could it be the law of fusion? No way, isn't that too difficult? But if that's the case, it makes sense."

Ye Yang had already suspected this.

In the Devouring World, there are ten fundamental laws, divided into eight inferior laws and two superior laws.

Then there are eight major laws of integration: Metal Void, Wood Void, Water Void, Fire Void, Earth Void, Thunder Time, Light Time, and Wind Time.

Also known as the Way of the Beast God.

If one can comprehend even one of the eight laws of fusion, one can rival the universe master who has comprehended time and space!

Of course, in the realm of fusion laws, these eight paths of the Beast God are merely the beginning.

The fundamental laws of metal can merge with the fundamental laws of energy and time. Lightning can merge with space, so... time and space can naturally merge as well!

When all ten fundamental laws are integrated and unified, they become the laws of chaos.
