Every young powerhouse on the plaza was currently comprehending the Grand Dao Laws present here. The amount one could grasp and the realm one could attain for each law were both intimately linked to individual aptitude.
Ye Yunfei already had a certain foundation regarding Grand Dao Laws. Now an Intermediate Void God and possessing two Soul Bodies and over thirty Soul Force Planets, coupled with various accumulated experiences from past tribulations, the Law True Explanation, and other synergizing factors, he soon entered a deep state of enlightenment. Utterly immersed, forgetting self and surroundings, he was like an old monk in deep meditation.
After an indeterminable amount of time, a sudden *boom* resounded. A thick chain of Grand Dao Laws descended from the sky directly above Ye Yunfei's head, coiling around his form like a giant dragon.
"So each new law grasped causes a corresponding Law chain to descend," Ye Yunfei mused inwardly, glancing at the pale blue Law chain swirling beside him.
"That kid actually grasped a new Grand Dao Law this quickly."
The other young powerhouses in the plaza saw the Law chain that had suddenly descended beside Ye Yunfei and understood what had happened, causing them secret astonishment.
Because at this moment, no other young powerhouse had managed to comprehend and grasp a new Grand Dao Law yet. Ye Yunfei was the fastest.
"Just who is this kid? His talent is actually so formidable. And he dares to oppose our Guardian Faction," five or six men with gloomy expressions in the distance cast their gaze toward Ye Yunfei. These men were all young elites from the Guardian Faction.
"Never mind him for now. This opportunity is rare. Let us properly comprehend and cultivate the Grand Dao Laws here first, and see if there is a chance to obtain the treasures and legacy left by Yangming King. We will settle accounts with that boy later; he won't escape," one of the men transmitted his words to the others.
"Even if others obtain the treasures and legacy Yangming King left here, our Guardian Faction cannot simply let it go. We must find an opportunity to seize them," another transmitted coldly. Then, these few men paid no further attention to Ye Yunfei.
Time flew within the plaza. Unconsciously, more than half an hour passed, then another sudden *boom* echoed. A thick Grand Dao Law chain descended from the heavens, coiling around a young man.
"It's actually him!" Everyone's gazes swept over, landing on a youth in hemp clothing.
This Hemp-Clothed Youth was precisely the one who had once clashed with Ye Yunfei back in that herb garden.
"It seems this fellow's talent in Laws is also quite remarkable," Hun Lao couldn't help but comment.
Soon after, more and more young powerhouses successively grasped a Grand Dao Law, with thick Law chains descending from the sky above each of their heads, swirling around their bodies.
"Indeed, every single person who managed to come here is a top talent among the younger generation, managing to comprehend and grasp a new Grand Dao Law in such a short time," Hun Lao remarked with a tinge of admiration, looking at the young powerhouses in the plaza.
"What are they compared to my Master? My Master is truly amazing," Hu Miao immediately said.
*Rumble...*
Just as Hu Miao's words fell, another thick Law chain directly descended above Ye Yunfei's head, signifying that he had grasped yet another new Grand Dao Law.
Witnessing this, some of the other young powerhouses felt envy, some felt indignant, while others began to comprehend even more earnestly.
Yet, not long after, another *boom* echoed. Another thick Law chain, radiating a torrent of divine light, descended above Ye Yunfei's head.
Ye Yunfei possessed two Soul Bodies and over thirty Soul Force Planets, and this was no trivial matter. All of these resources were fully devoted to comprehending the Grand Dao Laws, resulting in truly astonishing efficiency.
During this period, Ye Yunfei had mastered three new Grand Dao Laws.
"I wonder just how many types of Grand Dao Laws I can comprehend in this plaza?" Ye Yunfei felt great anticipation in his heart.
In the following time, Ye Yunfei successively mastered two more Grand Dao Laws.
At this point, a total of five Grand Dao Law chains of different colors coiled around Ye Yunfei's body, emanating a rolling pressure of laws.
Meanwhile, among the other young powerhouses, only a small minority had a single Law chain circling their bodies, while more than half had not yet achieved the breakthrough from zero.
"Damn it! His talent regarding Laws is actually so terrifying," thought many young powerhouses, green with envy upon seeing the five Law chains around Ye Yunfei.
Time flew swiftly. Soon, a full day passed. Now, fifteen Grand Dao Law chains circled Ye Yunfei's form, signifying that within this single day, he had mastered fifteen new types of Grand Dao Laws.
Seeing those fifteen Law chains around Ye Yunfei, the young powerhouses in the plaza were beginning to grow somewhat numb.
Apart from Ye Yunfei, quite a few other young talents in the plaza had grasped several Grand Dao Laws, with the most achieving five. However, compared to Ye Yunfei, the gap was vast.
There were also some young powerhouses who, throughout the entire day, failed to comprehend and grasp a single Grand Dao Law, feeling utterly ashamed.
*Boom!* Not far from Ye Yunfei, a thick Grand Dao Law chain descended from the sky, swirling around Lu Shi's body.
By now, four thick Grand Dao Law chains encircled Lu Shi, meaning he had mastered a total of four new laws over the day.
"After my recent realm breakthrough, my talent regarding Laws seems to have improved significantly," Lu Shi was quite satisfied with his performance. However, when he saw the fifteen Law chains around Ye Yunfei, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Ye, you're truly demoralizing. Luckily, my psyche is strong enough," Lu Shi couldn't help but murmur softly.
Time flowed on continuously. After the first day ended, the second day arrived. All the young powerhouses on the plaza remained seated cross-legged and motionless, continuing to comprehend and cultivate the Grand Dao Law chains.
As time passed, more and more Grand Dao Law chains continuously descended, coiling around the bodies of those young talents.
Unconsciously, more than half of the second day passed, and the number of Grand Dao Law chains swirling around Ye Yunfei's body had already reached thirty.
"This is utterly exaggerated! Is this kid cheating? With not even two full days passed, he's comprehended thirty Grand Dao Laws! How is that possible?" Witnessing this, none of the young powerhouses in the plaza could remain calm. Someone couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"Truly worthy of my Master. No matter where he goes, he always stands out," Hu Miao was pleasantly surprised by Ye Yunfei's performance.
"Young Master Ye is indeed overwhelmingly powerful!" Though Qin Xiaoyu remained inside the Phantom Shadow Tower, she could also perceive the external situation and spoke in amazement.
Finally, the two-day period elapsed.
"Alright, everyone. The allotted time for the assessment has ended," Yangming King's projected form reappeared in the sky above the plaza and spoke slowly.
As his voice faded, the dense mass of Grand Dao Law chains covering the sky above the plaza began to slowly vanish, like melting snow under the sun.
"Excellent. Truly excellent! To think I would encounter a young man with such towering talent," Yangming King's gaze first landed on Ye Yunfei.
Over the two days, Ye Yunfei had comprehended and mastered a total of forty different Grand Dao Laws. Yangming King had naturally witnessed it all.
Apart from Ye Yunfei, the one placed second was the Hemp-Clothed Youth who had previously fought Ye Yunfei in the ancient herb garden. He had comprehended fifteen Grand Dao Laws.
"His talent in Laws is actually so high. He'll become a formidable rival of mine in the future!" The Hemp-Clothed Youth looked towards Ye Yunfei, his eyes brimming with provocative intent.
"Very well. Now, the five young individuals ranked highest shall remain here. All others, proceed down the mountain," Yangming King swept his gaze over the young powerhouses on the plaza.
*Rumble...*
A powerful teleportation energy instantly manifested, beginning to teleport away the young powerforces in the plaza.
"Not good!" Lu Shi felt his body enveloped by a formidable teleportation energy and was instantly whisked away.
"Be careful. The moment the teleportation ends, your first priority is to flee immediately. Then find a place to hide, preferably leaving behind some markers. I will come find you later," Ye Yunfei was also startled upon seeing Lu Shi teleported away, knowing the situation was dire.
Because Lu Shi had been with him the whole time, which everyone had seen. Now that Lu Shi was teleported away from the plaza and separated from him, others would surely seek trouble with Lu Shi later, especially those from the Guardian Faction.
In less than a single breath, most of the young powerhouses in the plaza had been teleported away, leaving only five.
"Five youngsters, I will now conduct a detailed sensing of your cultivation circumstances. Based on your realm strength and the various techniques and martial skills you cultivate, I will then decide to impart a specific legacy to each of you. Of course, there will also be some treasures gifted," Yangming King's gaze fell upon Ye Yunfei and the other four young elites as he spoke unhurriedly.
After speaking, the five young powerhouses felt an immensely vast wave of Soul Power energy descend upon them, beginning to sense their beings.
"Yangming King is truly formidable. Despite being only a remnant will, he still possesses such power," Hun Lao couldn't help but marvel.
"Young man, your cultivation is exceptionally comprehensive. The foundations in three aspects—divine power energy, body power energy, and Soul Power energy—are all extremely solid," Yangming King's voice suddenly resonated within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Thank you for your praise, senior," Ye Yunfei hurriedly responded respectfully.
"You actually cultivate Mental Force as well. I truly didn't expect you to have talent in this area as well. Very well, then, I shall impart to you some techniques related to Mental Force. I see you previously obtained some legacy from the Heart Gate, but those are quite basic—introductory-level mental cultivation methods. You have yet to come into contact with the truly profound techniques of the Heart Gate.
In my younger years, I wandered everywhere, leaving my footprints throughout the myriad realms of the Heavens. Furthermore, whenever I had the chance, I would collect the techniques and martial skills of various sects and schools across the world. It was a hobby of mine.
Through a stroke of luck, I happened to obtain some high-level techniques of the Heart Gate. I now impart them to you. I believe they will elevate your Mental Force to a new level," Yangming King's voice continued within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"I am profoundly grateful for your kindness in imparting such techniques, senior," Ye Yunfei felt immense joy upon hearing Yangming King's words.
Although Ye Yunfei's realm and overall strength had consistently improved, his Mental Force had indeed stagnated.
He had almost fully comprehended and cultivated the Heart Gate techniques he obtained earlier, yet he found they couldn't significantly elevate his Mental Force.
Ye Yunfei understood he had reached a bottleneck in his Mental Force cultivation; making further progress would be extremely difficult.
He never imagined Yangming King would now impart even higher-level Heart Gate techniques to him. This could very well be the opportunity for his Mental Force to ascend.
