Thirty Years Flow By, Senior Brother Suigu's Gift

In Chaos City, time had no meaning.

Year after year passed.

Spurred on by Lu Ming, the geniuses of this batch gradually began to exert themselves. Though they had accepted the gap in their hearts, no one wanted to see others already having Universe Master teachers while they themselves were not even qualified to take a King-level Immortal as a teacher.

As time passed, Liya, Kun Zhou, Tiffany... these top geniuses crossed the first level of the Tongtian Bridge one after another and continued advancing toward the higher levels.

Yet no matter how hard they tried, even the strongest among them had only barely passed the fourth level of the Tongtian Bridge. Lu Ming's first attempt record remained far beyond their reach.

Virtual Universe, Primal Zone.

Inside the training room of Lu Ming's private estate, a crimson lava world had been simulated.

Two blurred figures darted freely through the molten layers deep within the earth, clashing passionately again and again amid the extreme environment!

One was a black-clad youth wielding a fiery red spear, while the other was a Six-winged Demon warrior wielding a pitch-black battle sword.

"Roar!" "Roar!"...

Within the lava world, enormous flaming beasts appeared behind each of them, spreading their wings as they soared through the air, yet possessing tiger-like bodies. Their boundless auras spread in every direction, carrying endless majesty, as though they possessed the power to burn mountains and boil seas!

After a long while, their sparring session—or, more accurately, the instruction session—finally came to an end.

"Let's stop here for today."

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Suigu."

"Hehe, no need to be so polite with me." The white-haired man, clad in black metal armor with three pairs of demon wings extending from his back, smiled. "Still, if Teacher knew how quickly you were improving, he would probably be shocked too."

"That is also thanks to Senior Brother's careful guidance."

Lu Ming replied with a smile.

This imposing Sword Demon Race powerhouse before him was the seventeenth disciple under Lord of Dragon Passage. He was also Lu Ming's true teacher in the Space Origin Law and the Path of the Fire-Void Beast God.

Sometimes he came every half year, sometimes once every year or two, to guide Lu Ming. Over the past decade or so, Lu Ming had actually grown closer to Senior Brother Suigu and Senior Brother Chiting than to Lord of Dragon Passage himself.

"I only answer some of your questions from time to time. The crucial insights still come from you." Venerable Sui Gu shook his head, not claiming any credit. Still, Lu Ming's words clearly pleased him greatly.

Many Universe Kingdom Lords outside praised Lu Ming's talent, saying he could suppress an entire era.

But only he and Chiting, who had personally guided Lu Ming, knew just how heaven-defying their junior brother's cultivation talent truly was.

Leaving aside his astonishing progress in the Time Origin Law, Lu Ming had started from nothing in both the Space Origin Law and the Path of the Fire-Void Beast God. Venerable Sui Gu had personally witnessed his step-by-step growth.

"Junior Brother, these thirty years in Chaos City are merely the beginning of your cultivation. There will be many dangers and hardships ahead, so you must be careful... Teacher has placed expectations on you far beyond those he has for the rest of us." Venerable Sui Gu half-jokingly teased Lu Ming.

"I won't let Teacher down!" Lu Ming nodded heavily.

Lu Ming believed it firmly.

One day, he would accomplish it.

During these thirty years in Chaos City, his progress in comprehending the Universe Origin had been immense.

For the Time Origin Law, he could study the Cosmic Extreme Chaos Tablet and frequently seek guidance from his fourth senior brother, Venerable Chi Ting.

For the Space Origin Law, he could study the Nine Universes Chaos Tablet and seek guidance from his seventeenth senior brother, Venerable Sui Gu.

As for the two Paths of the Beast God, both senior brothers could likewise resolve his doubts, answer his questions, and guide him.

On top of that, he had a series of immensely powerful secret manuals perfectly suited to him, such as Cosmic Overview, Chronicles of Time and Space, Blazing Star Codex, and Huo Suo Codex, which he could study and research at any time.

After a full thirty years, the progress he had achieved was simply beyond anyone's imagination.

Even Lu Ming himself vaguely felt that it was somewhat unreal.

"You'll be leaving in half a month. As your senior brother, I'll give you one final little gift. I believe you should like it."

After saying this with a smile, Venerable Sui Gu's figure vanished from the space.

Lu Ming waved his hand, and the entire space dissolved.

As the scene changed, the area before him returned to its empty state. Venerable Sui Gu had come suddenly and left just as decisively.

After this guidance session, the next time they met in the Virtual Universe, Lu Ming should already be in the Primal Secret Realm in the real world.

"A little gift?" Lu Ming was curious and expectant, but he steadied his mind and first sat down cross-legged on the spot, reflecting on the sensations from the battle just now.

His seventeenth senior brother, Suigu, had once primarily cultivated the Dragon Walk Chaos Tablet. Later, however, he had also cultivated Seven Transformations of the Suigu God, an ultimate secret manual of the Path of the Fire-Void Beast God, and achieved extraordinary accomplishments.

"So that's how it is... No wonder I always felt that this move from the Blazing Star Codex still had some flaws... Once it fully integrates the thirty-six types of Space Law essence, its power can rise by another level!"

After pondering with his eyes closed for a while, Force surged through Lu Ming's palm. Using his finger as a spear, he sat on the floor and began simulating the technique.

In the path of space, he had already fully comprehended the first two diagrams of the Nine Universes Chaos Tablet, perfectly grasping the first thirty-six types of Space Law essence. He had even grasped as many as twelve of the most difficult seventy-two essences contained within the third diagram.

As for the path of time, his foundation had already been high. After thirty years of secluded cultivation, the Time Law essence he had grasped had surpassed even his Space Law comprehension.

It was precisely this astonishing rate of progress that had drawn such praise from Venerable Sui Gu earlier.

Back then, Suigu himself had also been a peerless genius who stunned an era. Yet before Lu Ming, this unrivaled monster, he was completely overshadowed.

"Thirty years really aren't enough..."

For Lu Ming, he had never encountered a true bottleneck during these thirty years.

With the heaven-defying talent of Limitless Spear Heart supporting him, his progress had never once stopped.

But the path of analyzing Law essence did indeed grow slower the further one advanced.

No matter how great his talent, it was still somewhat unrealistic to analyze all seventy-two of the most difficult mysteries contained in the third diagrams of the two great Chaos Tablets within only thirty years.

Even so, his current Law comprehension was already exceedingly astonishing.

Five days later, after thoroughly sorting through his understanding of the Space Law once more, Lu Ming finally left the training room.

The moment he returned to the study, Alice's sweet and charming voice rang out in his mind.

"Master, you have a new item awaiting receipt in Chaos City."

"Senior Brother Suigu's gift has arrived?"

Lu Ming's eyes lit up. He immediately withdrew from the Virtual Universe, his consciousness returning to his rooftop residence in Chaos City.

This gift was a physical item: a scorching spear that was crimson from end to end.

The nearly three-meter-long spear was covered in countless complex and profound secret patterns. Even while resting inside its weapon case, Lu Ming could clearly sense the ferocious and domineering aura contained within it.

"This spear?" The moment Lu Ming saw the weapon, he felt an immediate sense of familiarity.

"Alice, look up the detailed information on this Blazing Heart Spear."

"Yes, Master!"

Very quickly, Lu Ming understood why he felt so close to the weapon. This spear had been specially prepared for Immortal powerhouses cultivating the Path of the Fire-Void Beast God!

Those first- through fifth-tier Force Weapons were generally meant for use below the Immortal level! Immortal Gods could not be bothered using such weapons. Even the Quenching Star Spear, which could rival the Nine Divine Weapons of a Controller... unless one was an ordinary Immortal God, anyone with even a little capability would replace it with something better.

The Blazing Heart Spear, meanwhile, had been forged from a precious material naturally formed within the universe, Blazing Void Jade. Fusion Law Secret Patterns of the Path of the Fire-Void Beast God had also been engraved within the spear, making its might utterly overwhelming!

As for how precious it was... the value of this spear alone could empty the entire fortune of an ordinary King-level Immortal!

"Senior Brother Suigu is actually this wealthy?"

He called it a little gift, yet he had casually given a priceless treasure worth over ten billion Origin Units.

The only pity was that the item was too advanced for him to use for now. Still, Lu Ming had remembered Senior Brother Suigu's kindness in his heart, and he would surely repay it someday.

Before long, the final stretch of time flashed by.

The many geniuses who had been studying atop the rooftops suddenly heard a gentle voice in their minds.

"Come over, all of you!"

Lu Ming also opened his deep eyes. Their batch of geniuses was about to leave the Initial Universe.
