Beneath the Ninth Ancient Stele.

Ye Chen closed his eyes and entered into a true state of cultivation.

Within his Qi Sea, the power of the five great Heavenly Void Laws that he had cultivated over a period of time was now furiously surging atop the three hundred and seventy-two Five Apertures Rotating Pills.

In Ye Chen's mind, the insights into the five great Heavenly Void Laws observed from the eighteen ancient steles were occasionally flashing through his brain like lightning, while at other times, they would pause, bringing forth the characters and inscriptions of the steles.

"The eighteen ancient steles—those martial artists had invited me, and I have observed them all."

"The Ninth and Tenth Ancient Steles offer the most comprehensive explanations of the five great Heavenly Void Laws, yet the insights on the other steles also carry their weight in reason."

Ye Chen was slowly organizing these insights into the five great Heavenly Void Laws.

Amidst a multitude of insights, Ye Chen needed to find those that suited him, melding them with his own experiences rather than casually cultivating any particular method of insight.

Otherwise, the loss would outweigh the gain.

After all, what best suits oneself is the best there is!

"The five great Heavenly Void Laws—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are rumored to be the sources of the Five Elements of these thirty-three continents. All things from the thirty-three continents arise from the transformation of these Five Elements..."

"To comprehend the five great Heavenly Void Laws, according to one insight on the Ninth Ancient Stele, there is a method that starts with separating and understanding each—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth..."

"While on the Tenth Ancient Stele it is said that, in essence, the five great Heavenly Void sources have their distinctions but share commonalities, thus they can combine to form all things or separate into the Five Elements..."

"Another theory on the Fourth Ancient Stele mentions how many are afraid of the mutual repulsion between the five great Heavenly Void Laws and thus focus on cultivating one Heavenly Void Law to Great Perfection first. Then they find it much more difficult to bring the other Heavenly Void Laws to Great Perfection later on..."

Ye Chen also recalled what he witnessed in the Five Elements Divine Temple within the Second Mountain—the manifestation of the sources of the five great Heavenly Void Laws.

He remembered the peculiar gases passed down from the Upper Realm's Minor Spirit Realm, transforming into the mysterious variations of the five great Heavenly Void Laws.

Ultimately, all insights, thoughts, and understandings transformed into Ye Chen's Enlightenment.

"If one intends to comprehend each of the five great Heavenly Void Laws to the level of Great Perfection, there is a very difficult path to take, yet it is the one that holds the most promise of mastering all five great Heavenly Void Laws to Great Perfection. This path involves comprehending and fusing each law from Minor Accomplishment to Great Accomplishment to Great Perfection, one phase at a time. Only after thoroughly integrating and permeating each phase would one proceed to the next phase of law comprehension."

"To achieve Minor Accomplishment, one must comprehend each of the five great Heavenly Void Laws to that level simultaneously! They must also be capable of fusing and utilizing them together before attempting to charge towards Great Accomplishment."

"For Great Accomplishment, all must be comprehended to that level, for without each achieving Great Accomplishment, it is absolutely impossible to aim for Great Perfection."

"Finally, when the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth— all five great Heavenly Void Laws—are comprehended to Great Accomplishment and can be fused in application, that is when they will collectively charge towards Great Perfection of all the five great Heavenly Void Laws!"

"Although this approach is much slower and more difficult than immediately comprehending a single Heavenly Void Law to Great Perfection, advancing all five great Heavenly Void Laws together allows for a deeper understanding of all laws, preventing the scenario where one law is strong and another is weak."

"Even though this method is extremely difficult—so much so that few on the thirty-three continents can accomplish it, and many who cultivate to Void Sky True God status hadn't achieved it in the Heavenly Saint Realm—I must cultivate this way!"

Of course, Ye Chen would not rush to cultivate a single Heavenly Void Law to Great Perfection and directly enter the Heavenly Saint Realm, before supplementing the other Heavenly Void Laws.

He had heard from many powerful late-stage Heavenly Saints in the Forbidden Ancient Lands that such an approach made it more difficult to comprehend the other Heavenly Void Laws.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Moreover, simultaneously cultivating the five great Heavenly Void Laws to Great Perfection was a boon for a Void Sky True God facing the Nine Tribulations later on. Despite the difficulty of cultivation, Ye Chen would not give up this path.

The way is hard, but laying a solid foundation is stronger than blindly aiming high in one's realm!

Ye Chen wanted to lay the most solid foundation possible while in the Rotating Pill Realm!

Now with combat abilities at the level of Heavenly Saint, Ye Chen was certainly not in a hurry to break through to the Heavenly Saint Realm and delay his simultaneous cultivation of the five great Heavenly Void Laws.

"Besides, I practice the Five Great Divine Arts, which naturally give me a better sensitivity to the five great Heavenly Void Laws than others. Additionally, the 'Void Sky Quintessence Fruit' I've recently obtained possesses marvelous uses for harmonizing the five great Heavenly Void Laws, aiding me in balancing the progress of all five laws."

"Thus, that most difficult and also most powerful path of comprehending the five great Heavenly Void Laws—I should be all the more committed to this journey!"

Having determined the path he wished to take, Ye Chen immediately began comprehending the five great Heavenly Void Laws—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—all at the same time.

Upon entering the early stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, Ye Chen's five great Heavenly Void Laws were at a basic level, and only by raising the basic level to Minor Accomplishment could he enter the middle stage of the Rotating Pill Realm. To step into the latter stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, he had to break through from Minor Accomplishment to Great Accomplishment. Finally, by breaking through from Great Accomplishment to Great Perfection, one could achieve the Heavenly Saint Realm.

Many focused solely on cultivating one or two of the five great Heavenly Void Laws to Great Accomplishment before directly charging towards Great Perfection and stepping into the Heavenly Saint Realm.

But Ye Chen intended to advance the five great Heavenly Void Laws evenly, collectively pushing towards Great Perfection.

His first step into the middle stage of the Rotating Pill Realm involved simultaneously cultivating all five great Heavenly Void Laws to Minor Accomplishment.

This concept might sound simple, but the cultivation process is indeed the most difficult of all in the Rotating Pill Realm.

After all, where many cultivate just one, Ye Chen was to cultivate five at the same time!

Yet, Ye Chen showed not a hint of timidity.

As he mentally comprehended those five great Heavenly Void Laws, all five Great Divine Arts emerged atop his three hundred and seventy-two Five Apertures Rotating Pills, confirming his thoughts.

At the same time, Ye Chen consumed three Void Sky Quintessence Fruits that he'd obtained from the Forbidden Ancient Lands, allowing the power of these fruits to enter his Qi Sea and ultimately harmonize with the power of his Rotating Pill laws.

The rate at which such comprehension occurred was extremely slow, and Ye Chen, who was sitting cross-legged under the Ninth Ancient Stele, remained motionless even after more than a dozen days had passed.

However, what no one knew was that within Ye Chen's Qi Sea, the power of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws had begun to undergo a subtle and strange transformation!

"The Five Great Heavenly Void Laws, at their foundation, are simply the direct use of the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"Only after pondering these Ancient Stele Inscriptions did I realize that the powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth have many levels! For instance, when comprehending the power of fire at the basic level, it is merely destructive burning power, but to reach the Minor Accomplishment level of comprehension, even for burning, one must grasp a deeper layer and understand every flicker of flame with greater depth."

"Destructive burning power is not only capable of killing, but with a deeper understanding of these forces, it can even make burning capable of saving lives. Flames used to save people? Yes, the fire element law at the Minor Accomplishment level can indeed achieve this!"

As Ye Chen continued his contemplation, it was as if he saw a great swath of flames striking a martial artist whose energy meridians were blocked, directly burning through those meridians, allowing Heaven and Earth True Qi to flow straight into the martial artist's meridians.

This level of control over the Fire Element Law represented a further advancement!

As one's grasp of the Fire Element Law deepened, not to mention saving lives, killing would become even more formidable!

The scene of contemplation in his mind changed, and the endless flames transformed into countless sparks, each with its own unique way of burning and killing!

Ye Chen's contemplation wasn't limited to just the Fire Element Law; he was furiously pondering the laws of metal, wood, water, and earth as well.

Having utilized the Five Great Divine Arts, he had already fought many people, used the powers of the Five Great Divine Arts and the elemental laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth countless times, even against beings as powerful as those in the Heavenly Saint Realm and opponents like the Three-Eyed Skeletons of the Void Sky True God Realm.

Ye Chen had already gained a profound mastery over these powers, having reached the stage where a quantitative change could lead to a qualitative transformation, and was but a hair's breadth away from another metamorphosis of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws' powers.

After exactly twenty-one days of sitting cross-legged under the Ninth Ancient Stele, on that day, Ye Chen had yet to open his eyes, but the area of the Five Elements Divine Temple where he was seated had begun to change.

The greatest change was that within the Five Elements Divine Temple, awe-inspiring clouds of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws began to emerge, wildly converging at the temple's peak.

"Clouds of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws appearing, this indicates that someone is about to break through!"

As the clouds of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws began to gather above the Five Elements Divine Temple, many martial artists seated at the feet of the eighteen ancient steles, not currently in the state of cultivation, noticed the anomaly.

Seeing the light from all five types of Heavenly Void Laws—those of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—contained within the wildly converging clouds above the Five Elements Divine Temple, these martial artists were even more astonished.

"How can there be a convergence of all five Heavenly Void Laws at once? Could it be that someone's breakthrough propelled all five Heavenly Void Laws to the next level simultaneously?"

What surprised the martial artists the most was the duration over which these clouds of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws were gathering.

The reason why countless strong individuals came to comprehend the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws at the Five Elements Divine Temple, leaving behind their insights on the eighteen ancient steles, was because of the rich concentration of these laws, all hidden within the area of the Five Elements Divine Temple!

Once a breakthrough occurred, one could directly harness the power of these Heavenly Void Laws from this place and infuse it into one's body.

Typically, advancing from the early stages of the Rotating Pill Realm to the mid-stage, it would take half an hour for the clouds required for breakthrough to gather at the temple's peak.

Breaking through from the mid-stage to the later stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, the clouds of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws needed would take three hours to accumulate enough.

To break through from the later stage of the Rotating Pill Realm to the Heavenly Saint Realm, the largest amount of clouds of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws ever needed would gather in just one day's time.

Even for Heavenly Saint Realm warriors who needed to make up for the Heavenly Void Laws they had not cultivated to Great Perfection, typically it would only take one day to gather the breakthrough clouds.

However, when these martial artists observed the clouds of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws beginning to converge above the Five Elements Divine Temple, they found that these clouds took a whole three days to gather and still weren't finished!

The entire area of the Five Elements Divine Temple, spanning tens of thousands of zhang, was now enveloped by thousands of zhang shrouded in these clouds of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws!

Such an extraordinary scene naturally astonished the martial artists cultivating under the eighteen ancient steles!

"The power of all five Heavenly Void Laws coming together is something I've never witnessed, nor have I ever seen someone breaking through all five Great Heavenly Void Laws at the same time!"

"I've never encountered a situation where it takes three days to gather the clouds needed for a breakthrough!"

"Who is it that's breaking through with such an impressive display? If all these clouds of laws are infused into the body, how many times stronger would his Five Great Heavenly Void Laws' powers become?!"

As the martial artists marveled, it took four and a half days for the clouds of the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws to completely gather above the Five Elements Divine Temple.

At this point, everyone turned their attention to the terrifyingly vast cloud, which had reached a staggering eight thousand zhang in diameter.

They all wanted to see where this tremendous cloud would drift and who was breaking through, causing these clouds to gather.

At that moment, at the center of the vast cloud, it began to slowly move.

It moved from the eighteenth ancient stele, to the seventeenth, then to the sixteenth...

Finally, the central point of the tremendous eight thousand zhang cloud stopped right above the Ninth Ancient Stele!

It halted over the space above Ye Chen's head!

"It's Ye Chen!"

"It's that young man who made even the esteemed Ancestor Minghua act so courteously, is he about to break through?!"

Just as all the martial artists realized that Ye Chen was the one behind the formidable gathering of clouds, the clouds in the sky directly formed a funnel shape, with the tip of the funnel carrying the massive quantity of clouds down towards the top of Ye Chen's head as he sat cross-legged directly below the Ninth Ancient Stele.
