Chapter 1457: First Saint's Space

Xu Yang was incredibly fortunate to have met Xiao Hua, an irreplaceable confidante, on his cultivation journey. With her by his side, he always felt profoundly at ease. He never had to worry about being disturbed by the chaotic distractions of the world. Xiao Hua always stayed by Xu Yang's side, helping him manage all other affairs so that he could simply focus on what he wished to accomplish.

Having made all arrangements, Xu Yang transformed into a streak of light. He used the phantom soul aura he had condensed as a guide, actively reaching out to touch the exclusive aura of the First Saint within the Celestial Eye Divine Temple—an aura no one had dared to approach for countless years. In that instant, the terrifying aura, vast as an ocean, surged dramatically, pushing back against the soul power of Xu Yang's phantom body. It was the first time the spiritual energy condensed by Xu Yang's phantom body had encountered such fierce resistance and impact. Yet, an unbridgeable gap in raw power and spiritual realm remained between them. Soon, Xu Yang smiled faintly, then calmly suppressed the fierce surge with a gentle wave of his hand.

As the surging wave of soul power gradually dissipated, Xu Yang finally gained the qualification to enter the First Saint's exclusive secret realm, and promptly vanished from his original position. When his spiritual power once again returned to its normal state, the sight before him made him involuntarily widen his eyes, prompting a deep observation of everything within the secret realm. He discovered that this exclusive secret realm contained no discernible trace of any individual's soul aura; instead, it was filled with myriad complex imprints of chaotic law fragments. It was, in essence, a void fragment lost to chaos.

Xu Yang did not understand why the First Saint's exclusive space would seal such an existence. He had only ever encountered this form of power around the void rifts between the Great World and extra-dimensional space. The last time Xu Yang had sensed such an aura was before entering the Moonless Sky passage, which felt like countless years ago.

"This is peculiar. The presence of these law fragments here raises two inexplicable questions. Firstly, given how chaotic and disorderly these law fragments are, how is it possible for the First Saint's exclusive space to stably seal them? Theoretically, the fundamental condition for this possibility is that the First Saint's exclusive space must possess an even more powerful law imprint on its periphery to achieve such an feat. However, when I previously made contact with that soul aura, I did not perceive the presence of sufficiently potent law energy. The external soul aura was merely that of a slightly more powerful cultivator. Could it be that the soul aura marking the First Saint's exclusive space outside is merely a smokescreen, designed to conceal the true secret? If this is indeed the only explanation for this phenomenon, then what could be the other party's objective in doing this?

"My second question concerns the law fragments present here: their imprints are inherently chaotic and disorderly, intermingled with traces imperceptible to the naked eye. In other words, to discern the true meaning represented by these law fragments, I must recompile them using sufficiently powerful energy. It seems I will have to personally undertake this task to uncover the answer that so intrigues me."

Although Xu Yang felt this matter was extraordinary, potentially even directly involving secrets of the Supreme God, he now wielded the Blazing Sun in his left hand and the Bright Moon in his right. He was already the proxy holder of the Samsara Mirror, the supreme divine artifact of the Angelic lineage. Thus, he possessed both the power and the right to recompile these chaotic law fragments before him. However, constrained by the energy resistance limit of this exclusive space, Xu Yang worried that his recompilation process might cause too significant a disturbance, "hitting the grass to startle the snake." Therefore, he decisively chose an alternative method for the secondary recompilation of these void fragments.

The method involved utilizing the powerful inherited energy of the Angelic lineage. Within this limited space, he would manifest the Law of Light, and simultaneously use its power to completely conceal the aura of Xu Yang's true body. This way, Xu Yang could use his true body to organize and decipher the law fragments within this space without fearing that his power would be detected by others from external realms.

As expected, after creating these optimal conditions, Xu Yang unhesitatingly raised both hands, once again manifesting the incomparably pure totem lights of the Blazing Sun and the Bright Moon. During this process, the two fiercely burning totem flames of the Blazing Sun and the Bright Moon rapidly merged within a very short time. This entire process constituted the full summoning of the Samsara Mirror artifact's inherent laws. As the proxy wielder of the Samsara Mirror, Xu Yang, of course, possessed the ability to control the intensity of the artifact's released aura at will. His spiritual power meticulously managed it, preventing the full, supreme might of the Samsara Mirror from being unleashed all at once. Such an uncontrolled release would likely pulverize the entire temple, as it would be unable to withstand the power of this ultimate divine artifact of the Angelic lineage. Xu Yang simply controlled the supreme artifact's intensity to the precise level of power required to decipher the law fragments before him, thereby achieving his objective.

Soon, halos of various colors began to encircle Xu Yang's true body. As the Samsara Mirror's law power manifested, the countless fragments in the surrounding void were frantically drawn towards Xu Yang's physical form. Their formerly chaotic and disordered state began to frantically reassemble and coalesce under Xu Yang's guidance. The spiritual power Xu Yang unleashed throughout this entire process was terrifyingly immense. It must be understood that laws constitute the fundamental framework defining the existence of a Great World, yet Xu Yang, with his mortal body, was single-handedly reorganizing the very power of these laws. This implied that he alone was reordering and reconstructing the foundational power and structure of an entire world. Such a degree of strength and spiritual attainment had undoubtedly long surpassed the defined limits of "the strongest among all beings" on this continent.

Naturally, to avoid startling the cultivators within this world's power system, Xu Yang maintained as low a profile as possible. He began to secretly deduce these shattered and chaotic laws, aiming to capture the spatio-temporal imprints behind them and uncover the traces left by time. This approach would allow Xu Yang to follow the clues and discover the fundamental reason these laws were shattered and sealed in this location. Conveniently, the Samsara Mirror's function was perfectly suited to help him achieve this very objective.

As time progressed, these shattered laws began to reassemble as much as possible under the powerful guidance of the Samsara Mirror. However, Xu Yang soon discovered a critical problem. The damage to these laws was extraordinarily severe. It would likely be exceedingly difficult to ascertain the cause of their collapse by merely reassembling their fragmented trajectories.
