Yun Jin stared at the unprecedented scene before her, a surge of awe rising in her chest.
The River of Laws, it was said, was formed from the combined forces of all living beings' laws, representing the fundamental power of a small world.
The two Rivers of Laws before her were probably just a tiny fragment of a small world's full river, yet for Yun Jin, it was already enough to shake her to the core.
The differences between the two small worlds were obvious from the rivers themselves.
The River of Laws belonging to the Vast Azure World was dazzling, bursting with colorful sparks that danced everywhere, truly rich and vibrant.
The River of Laws from the Void Mirage World, however, was peculiar, as this world was dominated by the Law of Space. Almost the entire region was composed of the Law of Space, with only the edges flickering with other laws.
Yun Jin closed her eyes immediately as she watched the two rivers intertwine.
At this moment, the River of Laws from the Void Mirage World had been drawn out. Beneath the river, the density of spatial power had reached an astonishing level.
She didn't know how long this River of Laws would persist.
Right now, though…
Beneath the river was the perfect opportunity to comprehend the Law of Space.
"Activate Super Enlightenment Mode!"
Yun Jin plunged into a deep state of enlightenment. Under this profound insight, the surrounding spatial power became clearer than ever. Before this, she had known almost nothing about the Law of Space.
But in the Void Mirage World, generations of cultivators had painstakingly refined their understanding, making its spatial power incomparable to the Vast Azure World.
In just a fleeting moment, Yun Jin gained a hint of comprehension. She absorbed the laws like a sponge, devouring every insight she could.
Halfway up the mountain, the five elders also stared at the phenomenon in shock.
The Second Elder trembled, "Th-This… what is this?"
The two rivers twisted together, radiant and blinding.
The terrifying force of the intertwined laws made even them, seasoned Tianxian, sway slightly on their feet.
"The power of space is incredible!" the Fourth Elder exclaimed, "Could this be… the legendary River of Laws?"
"A small world is supposed to have only one River of Laws, right? So what's happening now?"
"Beneath the river is where Yun Jin is!"
"Did she cause this phenomenon?"
"Unbelievable! This person is unbelievable!"
"Stop talking. The River of Laws is appearing, so we'd better seize this chance to comprehend it. We might gain something new ourselves."
With that, the elders sat cross-legged, focusing on comprehension.
Inside the Tower of Truth, numerous cultivators also looked toward the mountain.
The overwhelming force of the laws was impossible to ignore.
Ordinary cultivators might not know about the River of Laws, but that didn't stop them from feeling the surrounding power.
The closer they got to the river, the stronger the sensed laws became. Everyone rushed toward the mountain.
The more profound their cultivation, the closer they could approach the River of Laws. They pushed themselves to their limits before settling down to meditate.
Yun Jin, oblivious to the changes outside, focused entirely on grasping the Law of Space. She would eventually master the Law of Space, but an opportunity like this was probably one in a lifetime.
"The Law of Space."
"What exactly is the Law of Space?"
Yun Jin's consciousness drifted through the River of Laws. She was swept by wave after wave of power, biting her teeth as she struggled to comprehend.
In terms of mastery over the Law of Space, not even the Polar Night Demon World could compare to the Void Mirage World.
This was the true supreme law, and she was determined to seize the opportunity fully. Within the river, Yun Jin sensed countless small light clusters around her. She reached for them, grabbing the first one.
[Spatial Scan: can scan the surrounding space, revealing all hidden objects.]
It wasn't a high-level spatial law, but it was still part of the Law of Space. Yun Jin instantly used Emotional Value to fully analyze and control it.
Even so, grasping this seemingly simple spatial law cost her fifty billion Emotional Value. The pain was sharp, but the thrill of progress outweighed it. At any other time, she wouldn't have this chance.
Yun Jin swam further through the river. The river's turbulence increased, and she barely reached the second light cluster.
[Spatial Scaling: can enlarge or shrink objects, and also expand or compress space itself.]
Yun Jin paused. The laws she'd grasped so far were all unusual, but that didn't matter. She pressed on.
By the time she advanced again, the River of Laws had roiled violently. Panic pricked at her heart. The river seemed ready to vanish back into the void. She only had one last chance to master a new spatial law.
The previous clusters were all small and white. This one, however, glowed green.
The River of Laws of the Void Mirage World seemed done playing. It shook violently, cascading like an inverted waterfall. One end of the river slowly faded into the void.
Not good!
The river was retreating!
Yun Jin surged forward, desperately reaching for the final light cluster. But moving against the flow was grueling. She couldn't get close.
Gritting her teeth, she unleashed the power of the Five Elements and Yin-Yang to protect herself, releasing all her strength. She forced herself upstream, and just before the river completely vanished, she seized the green cluster.
She succeeded.
The River of Laws from the Void Mirage World disappeared completely.
The River of Laws summoned by the Dao Fruit transformed into streams of light and merged into Yun Jin's sea of consciousness.
In her vast consciousness, a strange new ocean appeared—a Sea of Laws.
The Dao Fruit from the Vast Azure World condensed into this Sea of Laws, permanently stored in her consciousness. Now, controlling these laws was only a matter of time.
Yun Jin focused on the last spatial law she captured.
"Void Rend."
Her eyes flickered. This was an offensive spatial law. It could tear open a spatial rift, instantly shredding enemies. Comprehending this law required a trillion Emotional Value.
Yun Jin didn't hesitate. She spent the Emotional Value and mastered the law. Mastering the Primordial Space required starting shallow and going deep, step by step. Early investment was necessary.
Now, she had mastered three types of spatial laws:
Spatial Scan, Spatial Scaling, and Void Rend.
But her mastery wasn't deep. If ranked from beginner to advanced, all three were probably still at the beginner stage. With further insight, these laws would grow stronger.
Currently, using Void Rend, she could only manipulate a small area, easily avoided by opponents. When she deepened her comprehension, a mere gesture could collapse tens of thousands of miles of space—that would be true mastery of the Way of Space.
"Sect Master Yun, are you in there?"
Yun Jin, immersed in her insights, suddenly heard the voice of the Grand Elder at the entrance.
