Chapter 1428: Third Law

“Excellent. Your comprehension is even more astonishing and complete than I imagined. The laws of time and space, combined with your self-created Dao of Tai Chi, have reached a state of complete integration. This means you now possess sufficient strength to return to the Great World's fundamental laws and embark on a new journey. Before that, however, you must face your third trial, or rather, your unavoidable ultimate mission, which is about to appear before you. The task is simple: through your own efforts, you must re-summon the strongest artifact of the Angel Clan, the Samsara Mirror. As for how to accomplish this, I will give you no hints or instructions. You must rely entirely on your own understanding and current comprehensive strength. Of course, if you fail, the outcome will be the same as with the previous two trials: you and your companions will be imprisoned forever in the Moonless Sky, keeping me company.”

Upon hearing Yun Wangji's words, Xu Yang shook his head with a helpless, wry smile. “Senior, please rest assured. I came specifically for the Samsara Mirror. I once made a promise to the previous Angel God, and I will fulfill it, no matter the cost. From my judgment, the Samsara Mirror must have been created through a resonance with this special space of the Moonless Sky, connecting them in a very subtle way. The most crucial thing I need to do to complete this mission is to find the resonance between them.”

Xu Yang already had an exceptionally clear plan in his mind. Although he wasn't yet 100% confident he could complete this mission, given his abilities, finding the Samsara Mirror was already an absolute certainty for him; there was no other possibility.

After completing his exchange with Sword Immortal Yun Wangji, Xu Yang no longer hesitated. He immediately closed his eyes and began to extend his powerful spiritual energy to cover every corner of the entire Moonless Sky.

His first task was to use his spiritual power to achieve a state of high resonance with the realm of the Moonless Sky. This would allow Xu Yang to capture, as completely as possible, the full form of the core law that shaped the Moonless Sky—the specific content of this so-called 'Third Law'.

It was as if Xu Yang was facing a mental labyrinth. What he needed to do was return to the starting point from the maze's end, a process of reverse deduction.

Xu Yang wanted to grasp the complete form of the Third Law's weaving, and then, using the method by which he deciphered this Third Law, deduce the pattern of energy released when the Samsara Mirror, the supreme artifact, was activated.

Once he grasped this pattern, he would then use the complete laws of time and space he had just mastered to find the trajectory formed by this Third Law's unique frequency. Following this trajectory back to its source would reveal the exact sealed location of the Samsara Mirror, the supreme artifact.

Xu Yang was 100% confident in one thing: once he located the seal of the Samsara Mirror, the supreme artifact, he could activate its most complete functions with 100% efficiency, relying on his own bloodline power.

By the same logic, if he couldn't even decipher the Third Law that formed the Moonless Sky, then Xu Yang would be eternally trapped at this starting point, unable to escape this space.

Unknown to many, the reason Sword Immortal Yun Wangji never appeared in the sight of beings after creating the Continent of Yingzhou, and instead remained in the Moonless Sky, was fundamentally due to the suppression by the Third Law of the Moonless Sky.

Although Sword Immortal Yun Wangji commanded the complete laws of time and space and was one of the strongest under the Great World's system, his understanding of the Third Law could not reach the same level as Xu Yang's.

The reason was that he did not possess the bloodline of the Flawless Angel God, and thus, even if he spent his entire life, he could not find the soul resonance with the Samsara Mirror, the supreme artifact.

This meant that no matter how powerful he became, he could never truly control the Samsara Mirror, the supreme artifact exclusive to the Angel lineage.

This determined that Yun Wangji could never become the master of the Samsara Mirror in his lifetime; he could only be its guardian.

Unbeknownst to most, the previous Angel God had entrusted this task to Yun Wangji precisely for this reason.

Because the previous Angel God knew clearly that Yun Wangji was the love of his life, and also someone without ambition or desire concerning the Samsara Mirror and the most important secrets of the Great World. Only by entrusting this guardianship to Yun Wangji could the Angel God truly rest at ease.

And the Sword Immortal did not disappoint the previous Angel God, finally, after countless millennia of waiting, ushering in the arrival of Xu Yang, an unprecedented peerless prodigy.

Indeed, Yun Wangji had desired Xu Yang's appearance sooner than anyone else, for he had spent countless years in this place.

For Yun Wangji, time had long lost all meaning, as his strength and realm, including the Third Law space of the Moonless Sky, dictated his immortal existence.

For Yun Wangji, the long wait could only be described as 'tedious' to reflect his true inner state.

He had long grown tired of this state of wasting time. In his heart, he knew perfectly well that only by waiting for a savior like Xu Yang could he end this meaningless existence.

Once Xu Yang found the supreme artifact, the Samsara Mirror, he would be able to freely control the Third Law of the Moonless Sky. Naturally, this would enable him to help Sword Immortal Yun Wangji break free from the Moonless Sky's constraints, allowing him to return to the Great World and revisit every place he had once traveled. Only then would his life gain its unique meaning.

For this very reason, no one wished for Xu Yang's success more than Yun Wangji.

And Xu Yang would ultimately not disappoint Yun Wangji, because ever since he entered the realm of cultivation, he had never once let his companions down.

To some extent, the name 'Xu Yang' already represented the perfect definition of success. Anyone who had made an adversary of Xu Yang no longer existed in this world.

The realms Xu Yang aimed to reach and the challenges he sought to overcome always had only one outcome. Transforming success into an inevitable conclusion was Xu Yang's most unparalleled ability.

As his entire aura firmly enveloped the Moonless Sky, an incomparably vast Tai Chi totem unfurled, shrouding the endless void of the Moonless Sky.

Each time this colossal totem completed a cycle of deduction, special runic imprints were etched across the entire void of the Moonless Sky. Unbeknownst to many, these imprints were the specific traces recording the Third Law that sustained the Moonless Sky.

According to Xu Yang's method of deduction, finding these traces and the perfectly operating trajectory of a single cycle meant that Xu Yang had extracted the most complete content of the Third Law, enabling him to discern the underlying principles of the Moonless Sky's existence.
