I took a step inside the 3rd layer, and that moment, I felt as if I had entered between the two Suns, one is blazing hot while another is searing cold. The power of level 1 Rules are really amazing; the power of Level 2 and Level is nothing compared to it, nothing.
After sensing the might of the Level 1 Rules, I felt like I finally touched the real Rules of the World, the base Rules that our world had made of, the basic foundation on which the World is made of.
All the pressure I am enduring is worth it as this is the time, I am witnessing the majesty Level 1 Rule and finally saw the way. If I did not get a glimpse of the Level 1 Rules, it would have taken me quite a lot of time to search for it blindly.
The pressure on me is so great that I was not even able to move a muscle, even my breathing had stopped, and now I am exerting all my strength just trying to breathe even a little.
I could feel the gaze of Guard on me, and in a minute or two he would come to help me, and I did not want that to happen; as once the guard assisted me, I would not be able to enter the 3rd layer for the day even having an Emerald Pass.
I did not want that to happen, I only have a day here, and I want to spend it in the 3rd Layer comprehending the Level 1 Rule. Every minute counted here, the more time I spent here comprehending the more closer, I would go to the Level 1 Rule.
And who knows, I might even enter a stage of Epiphany like that day and even comprehend the Level 1 Rule instantly, though chances of that happening are practically slim, nothing could be said, the miracles do happen in life.
I continued trying, and finally, I was able to breathe slightly, it is a good thing I did as Guard had appeared next to me, if I had not been able to breathe in the next minute, he would have taken me out.
I am just able to breathe slightly, which is not enough to sustain me here for a long time. If I want to stay here for the day and comprehend the Rule, then I would have had to learn to constantly breathe as only this way I could stay here.
It is very painful to stay under such an environment, not only there is intense pressure from the Rule powers that are tormenting my body and soul invisibly, but I am also feeling the suffocation which had also been just as torturous.
I just wanted to leave right now rather than feel such torture every moment, but I did not, this is a scarce opportunity which will help me immensely, I could not leave just because I am feeling little pain and uncomfortableness.
It had been two hours since I had reached the 3rd Layer, and I am still on the same spot I had been two hours ago, concentrating on the breathing.
In my whole life, I had never been short on the breath as I had been for the two hours, here I am fighting for breath every moment, and only for the past ten minutes I have been having a slightly easier time.
Just slightly better time, it will still take some more time before I could learn to breathe consistently enough that I could comprehend the Rule without feeling the need for concentration of breathing.
The 3rd Layer is really dangerous; even Adamantine had to take special permission to enter the 3rd layer. Though that special permission is just a formality, it still shows that the 3rd layer is also hard for the Admantines that they had to take the permission to enter the 3rd layer.
Three more hours passed, and I was finally able to breathe ever so slowly, it is enough for me to comprehend. So I started to walk to find a meditating spot for myself as even in the 3rd layer, people are sitting and meditating.
I walked very slowly and finally and after about an hour later I found a spot to meditate, I slowly sat on it and closed my eyes to meditate without any obstruction, I now have little more than twelve hours to meditate. I will have to make some good progress.
With that thought in mind, I focused on the Fire Rule, which is giving me the feeling of being Infinite. There is no end to its power, not on it is infinite, and there is also seem no limit to its power.
It is so powerful that it has the power to burn the world to cinder and, at the same time, birth the new world from it. I've always thought that that fire could only be used for the destruction but never thought from something could be birthed as well.
This is an entirely new understanding for me, and when I think about it, it also seems plausible. Sunfire, which I had comprehended, is the subsidy Rule of Sun, which is the subsidy Rule of Celestial bodies and Grand Fire.
Sun, which our planet orbits, is a powerful Celestial body whose only one strong flare is enough to vaporize the world which we reside in but rarely any dangerous flares release from it.
The only thing it is released is its light, which is a basic thing that nourishes life, any life that is born on this planet. I don't know Grimm Monsters, but every native life in the world requires the sunlight to live.
Buzz Buzz!
Time passed, and Ashlyn and I lost in the comprehension, forgetting sleep and thirst; the only thing we have in our mind is the comprehension of the Rule, and I was just lost in comprehension when my holowatch vibrates heavily and brought me back to reality.
'It is time to leave.' I thought regretfully as I opened my eyes, I would have liked to stay at least one more day, but the time is over. Still, I am quite happy to get a chance to take a look at the Level 1 Rule.
I now have the way for my destination, as long as I follow it I am fully confident that I will be able to comprehend the Level 1 Rule, I just hope it happens soon, by the time I reached Adamantine as somehow if I was able to upgrade my Rules to Level 1 Rules, I will not able to use them.
The Level 1 Rules require immense soul power to use then, and I don't have required soul power to use the Level 1 Rule, only reaching Adamantine will I have that.
As I was walking toward the exit of 3rd Layer, I saw my team leader Elton who was also walking toward the exit of 3rd Layer from the opposite side of me, when our eyes met we smiled at each other; that is all we could do, as even mouthing a word is extremely difficult here.
