At the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, within the Ninesword Exalt's manor, on the training ground, Qin Hao's figure flickered continuously.
His space clone changed rapidly, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing, and the surrounding void occasionally paused or shattered.
In the past six months, Qin Hao spent three months absorbing the two streams of blood energy within his body.
Although he only gained a trace of Space Law and Time Law talent from Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin, it made Qin Hao's comprehension of Time Law and Space Law smoother.
In the following three months, Qin Hao successfully comprehended the thirteenth essence of Space Law, and his comprehension of Time Law also grew rapidly, almost reaching the level of Space Law he had before the Genius Battle.
Qin Hao's current training involved not only Space Law but also Time Law; although the two laws could not yet be merged, they could achieve basic coordination.
While Qin Hao was training, Longyu Wang entered the training ground from outside and stopped in her tracks as she watched Qin Hao on the training ground.
"What am I seeing? Is it Time Law? Both Space Law and Time Law have been comprehended to a profound degree. When did Qin Hao comprehend Time Law?"
Longyu Wang felt extremely shocked in her heart; as a King-level Immortal, she was very clear about the difficulty of Time Law and Space Law, but now, on a Universe Rank individual, she sensed a different aura.
"Is this what a genius truly is?" Longyu Wang, as a King-level Immortal, was also a genius-level existence among the human race, having overpowered all competitors in the Genius Battle back then.
However, her past self was too far behind the current Qin Hao; even after 30 years of growth in the Primal Universe, her comprehension of superior law was not as profound.
"Longyu Wang," Qin Hao also noticed Longyu Wang entering the training ground at this moment; his space clones on the training ground quickly disappeared, and he respectfully approached Longyu Wang.
"Qin Hao, you truly haven't disappointed the Exalt. If you have any questions, you can ask them, and I will answer them for you," Longyu Wang said, though she felt a bit unsure in her heart.
As a King-level Immortal, her primary focus was Space Law, and her understanding of Time Law was quite limited.
However, Qin Hao's question soon put her at ease.
The two exchanged questions and answers, continuously resolving Qin Hao's doubts about Space Law, and also, through the execution of secret method, allowed Qin Hao to perceive the changes in Space Law more clearly.
In one day, Qin Hao's questions were answered one by one; Longyu Wang left, and Qin Hao entered a new phase of cultivation.
He once again extracted a wisp of Dijiang's and Zhu Jiuyin's blood energy from his inner world into his body, beginning to continuously integrate the two forces.
After the two forces were fully integrated, he continued his comprehension of Space Law and Time Law, accumulating questions and awaiting Longyu Wang's answers.
Three years passed in a flash, and Qin Hao's strength progressed rapidly, with his comprehension of Time and Space Law deepening continuously.
He had fully comprehended the 18th essence of Space Law and three essences of Time Law; his progress could be said to be quite rapid.
Beyond that, the greatest gain was the change in Qin Hao's talent for Time Law and Space Law; after absorbing six wisps of Dijiang's and Zhu Jiuyin's blood energy, Qin Hao's talent in the two major superior law of Time and Space doubled, improving his affinity for laws and his comprehension speed.
This was also why, even as comprehending law essences became increasingly difficult, Qin Hao could still maintain a speed of comprehending one every six months.
"Qin Hao."
Just as Qin Hao was training, a voice sounded in his ear, and at the same time, Qin Hao felt his surroundings suddenly change.
What met his eyes was the Ninesword Exalt and a large fish-shaped spaceship behind him.
"Exalt."
"Hmm, I've heard Longyu Wang's report, and it's quite good.
Other geniuses are about to arrive; today, I will take you all into the Primal Universe, where your talent will be maximally unleashed, and you may also attract the attention of stronger individuals," the Ninesword Exalt said, with a hint of regret in his tone.
He had wanted to take a genius like Qin Hao as his disciple, but it now seemed impossible; only higher-ups could guide such talent to grow faster.
"You wait here for a bit; the others will arrive soon."
"Yes, Exalt." With that, Qin Hao went to the side, found a spot, and sat down directly, continuously sketching something with his hand, his eyes filled with concentration, as if he could see through everything around him.
Seeing Qin Hao's state, the Ninesword Exalt couldn't help but nod.
Half an hour later, spaceships appeared one after another, and figures emerged from them, quickly gathering.
"Qin Hao," Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, and Rong Jun came to Qin Hao's side and called out; Qin Hao saw the four and stopped his hand movements.
"How was the journey? Was it smooth?"
"With an Undying leading, it was very smooth. I didn't expect you to come directly to the Headquarters. How is it?"
"It's very good; I've been cultivating for three years and improved a lot." Qin Hao's words made everyone around him turn in surprise to look at him.
Qin Hao's strength was already abnormal, and he had improved even more in three years.
Bolan, who was nearby, couldn't help but clench his fists tightly upon hearing Qin Hao's words, his expression somewhat bitter.
After the Genius Battle, his cultivation broke through to Universe Rank, and his law comprehension also improved significantly; he had planned to fight Qin Hao again, but he didn't expect Qin Hao's improvement to be even greater.
After about six more hours, all 1,000 individuals had gathered.
As the 1,000 individuals gathered, a tall, thin man with red eyes, shrouded in a simple white robe, appeared; the aura emanating from him made all 1,000 geniuses feel a palpitation in their hearts.
At the same time, a powerful force from the man directly enveloped everyone, transforming into a stream of light that flew towards the strange spaceship in the distance.
Upon entering the spaceship, the immense hall and luxurious decorations astonished everyone.
The Ninesword Exalt looked at Qin Hao and the others and directly said, "Depart, to the Primal Universe."
The large fish-shaped spaceship's tail moved, and it instantly vanished from its original spot.
After a period of flight, the Ninesword Exalt's indifferent voice rang out.
"It's me, open the universe passage!"
As the Ninesword Exalt's voice fell—
"Boom!"
"Hmm?"
"No, this isn't right."
All 1,000 geniuses felt discomfort in their bodies; some even collapsed directly to the ground.
"We are now in the passage between the Primal Universe and the Original Universe."
The flow of time is different between the Primal Universe and the Original Universe, so the chaotic time flow within the passage will make you uncomfortable," the Ninesword Exalt said, and at the same time, the ceiling above the hall opened.
Outside the hall, it was dim, with occasional chaotic airflow drifting by, accompanied by space-time cracks, and around the cracks, translucent threads depicted strange patterns.
"Hmm," Qin Hao looked at those patterns, a sharp light flickering in his eyes, and his fingers unconsciously began to sketch, with the aura of Time Law and Space Law permeating, as if they were about to merge at any moment.
However, in the end, it did not succeed and directly dissipated.
"Still a bit short."
