Son of Time

"Hm, at the end of this email, it says he'll also gift me two sets of Time Law secret techniques?" Lu Ming read the email through to the very end without missing a word, and was delighted to see that line.

"Given Jinlan Kingdom Lord's status, even two secret techniques casually given away on a whim are probably incomparably precious. Even ordinary Immortal powerhouses might not have access to them." Although he had already taken Marquis Zhenlei as his master, he was still greatly looking forward to the two secret techniques gifted by Jinlan Kingdom Lord.

Very soon, Lu Ming received the two delivered sets of books in the Virtual Universe. Both sets were stored inside silver briefcases.

"There are actually this many?" After opening the two cases, Lu Ming was stunned to discover that the "two sets of secret techniques" Jinlan Kingdom Lord had mentioned had been divided into a full twenty-one volumes!

"Cosmic Thunder Fusion? Time Beast Codex?" After carefully examining the names of all twenty-one volumes, Lu Ming confirmed that they were indeed two sets of secret techniques. It was simply that neither set was ordinary!

The first secret technique, Cosmic Thunder Fusion, consisted of three volumes. It was a precious secret technique that began with the Lightning Origin Law and pointed directly toward the three core profound mysteries of the Time Origin Law! Its three volumes corresponded respectively to the three major branches of the Time Law: Time Deceleration, Time Acceleration, and Time Stasis!

Mastering any one of those three volumes would be utterly heaven-defying. Especially the third volume—once mastered, it would allow one to grasp the heaven-defying ultimate technique of the Time Law: Time Stop!

"What an incredible Cosmic Thunder Fusion. Just a simple 'fusion,' yet it encompasses every branch of the Time Law. As expected of something produced by a Kingdom Lord!" After learning the value and purpose of this secret technique, Lu Ming was overwhelmed with joy and excitement.

Obtaining a secret technique did not mean he could master it immediately, but that did nothing to diminish his happiness.

"The first set has only three volumes, yet it's already this astonishing. The second set, the Time Beast Codex, must be even more extraordinary!" Setting down Cosmic Thunder Fusion, Lu Ming looked toward the other secret technique, which contained a full eighteen volumes.

"The first volume, Panic Codex."

"The second volume, Nightmare Time Codex."

"The third volume, Moment Engraving Codex."

"The so-called 'Panic,' 'Nightmare Time,' and 'Moment Engraving' refer to certain special lifeforms in the universe that are extremely proficient in the Time Law. The Time Law content contained within these eighteen codices varies in depth... Those profound enough can ultimately point directly to the complete Time Origin Law. The shallower ones can only reach smaller branches beneath the three major branches of the Time Law."

"This set of secret techniques is simply..." Lu Ming did not know what words could describe just how heaven-defying it was, and he felt even more grateful toward Jinlan Kingdom Lord.

"With the boost from the Heart of the Wild talent, this Time Beast Codex truly is a Time-type secret technique perfectly suited to my cultivation!" Jinlan Kingdom Lord had probably noticed something as well, which was why he had made this decision at the last minute.

"No matter how good a secret technique is, it only has meaning if one has sufficient cultivation talent..." The longer Lu Ming cultivated and the more geniuses he encountered, the more deeply he understood the importance of "talent."

At the same Stellar level, some people found it unimaginably difficult even to reach the first level of Domain, while others could easily cross the ninth level of Domain and come into contact with an Origin Law.

Without sufficiently astonishing talent, no amount of "hard work" made it easy to break through one's shackles.

Of course, that did not mean one could rest easy simply because one had "talent." No matter how great one's talent was, if one squandered time recklessly, it would still be difficult to achieve anything great.

To truly become a powerhouse, talent and hard work were both indispensable.

Time passed, and soon a new month arrived. It was time to obtain a new talent again.

"Without sufficient 'talent' to support it, cultivating the Time Law truly is far too difficult. I hope this time will go as I wish as well." Lu Ming closed his eyes, his mind incomparably calm and empty.

"Buzz~" Gorgeous purple radiance once again filled Lu Ming's sea of soul.

"Another Purple Talent!" Lu Ming was in an excellent mood, and at the same time, his consciousness sensed the basic information of the new talent—Son of Time.

The Son of Time talent had an effect similar to the Son of Light, but their actual significance was worlds apart. After all, one represented merely a lower law, while the other represented a higher law.

"Even talents of the same quality differ completely in rarity and value." After quietly sighing to himself, Lu Ming could not wait to test the new talent's actual effects.

The Son of Time's primary ability was to greatly enhance Lu Ming's affinity for the Time Origin Law. Compared with the previous Son of Light's effect, the magnitude of this enhancement was astonishing. It had even reached the level of being a "favored child of the laws."

"Unfortunately, something good like a Life Leap didn't happen this time." Lu Ming deliberately waited for a while, but this time, his body's cells did not send out that feeling of "hunger." He could not raise his Gene Level again.

"Even so, the value of this new talent is already unparalleled." Lu Ming sank his consciousness inward and immediately began cultivating the Time Origin Law at full speed.

"Clear, lucid, this feeling... it's truly intoxicating!" With the "struggle" of the previous half month as a comparison, Lu Ming could better sense the changes that had occurred within himself.

If he had to describe it, compared to its previous obscurity and incomprehensibility, the Time Law now felt like a naked dancer standing before him, ready for him to take whatever he wanted.

"So that's how it is. The Instant Thunder Movement Technique described in Cosmic Thunder Fusion unfolds like this..." Once his thoughts became clear, certain cultivation problems that had once left him baffled were now all resolved as easily as melting snow!

Using his already profound understanding of the Lightning Origin Law as a springboard, along with a systematic research-type secret technique like Cosmic Thunder Fusion for study and reference, opening the door to the Time Law was merely a matter of time.

Who knew how much time had passed? After Lu Ming himself had forgotten the passage of time, his consciousness once again entered a deep cultivation state.

Wonderful, profound!

At this moment, within Lu Ming's perception, the fluctuations of the Time Law became increasingly clear. Although what he sensed now was merely an inconspicuous tip of the iceberg within the Time Law, as those fluctuations continued to extend and intertwine...

That intoxicating sensation was like a peerless poem, like an incomparably beautiful piece of music, striking against his heart!

Unfortunately, this rare cultivation state lasted only one month before he automatically withdrew from it.

"The Time Law has finally counted as an entry-level grasp!" After opening his eyes, Lu Ming once again experienced what it meant for cultivation to feel like pure enjoyment.

In just one short month, he had formally crossed the threshold of the Time Origin Law. If word got out, it would probably make countless jaws drop again.

"There are still more than three months left. Let's see just what level I can reach during the preliminaries!" At this moment, he was more confident than ever before!

This confidence came from his current foundation of strength and his extraordinary cultivation talent.
