Comprehending the Godhead

"His cultivation realm had also broken through to the Fifth Order of the Planetary level!"

Although the treasures Yue Ming had purchased were mainly meant to raise his Gene Level, with most of their special energy consumed in his genetic transformation, even the tiny remaining portion had still elevated his realm to the Fifth Order of the Planetary level.

"First, I'll comprehend the Water Godhead!"

Looking at the two godheads in his hand, Yue Ming considered for a moment before putting away the Space Element godhead. He planned to comprehend the Water Godhead first. After all, he had already grasped the Water Domain, so comprehending the Water Origin Laws would be much easier.

Furthermore, after his Gene Level had risen to one hundred times, Yue Ming could easily sense the fluctuations of various laws. They were fluctuations from the boundless origin of the universe. Previously, those law fluctuations had seemed veiled by layer after layer of gauze, making them extremely difficult for Yue Ming to perceive. But now, it was as though the gauze had been lifted away, and his perception of the law fluctuations had become incomparably clear.

Holding the Water Godhead in his hand, Yue Ming immersed his consciousness into it. Countless insights into laws instantly flooded his mind, causing his understanding of the Water Origin Laws to improve at an unimaginable speed. At this rate, it would likely take only a few days for his Water Domain to break through to the second level.

For a moment, even Yue Ming himself was stunned. This rate of improvement was simply too outrageous. The Water Godhead's effect was far better than he had imagined. How was this him comprehending laws? It was clearly law insights scrambling to chase after him and force themselves into his absorption. A godhead truly lived up to its name. Those Points had not been wasted.

"They came so quickly?"

Just as Yue Ming was concentrating on comprehending the godhead, his mind immersed in his insights into laws, two uninvited guests suddenly arrived outside the villa. Neither of them made any effort to conceal themselves, allowing Yue Ming to sense them easily. One was at the Seventh Order of the Planetary level, and the other at the Sixth Order of the Planetary level. On Earth, only Hong and Thor possessed such cultivation.

In truth, ever since revealing his strength, Yue Ming had anticipated that this day would come. He simply had not expected it to arrive so soon. Because of Hong and Thor's arrival, Yue Ming had no choice but to pause his comprehension of the godhead. After putting it away, he left the underground training room, opened the door, and invited them inside.

"Please, come in."

"Sorry to disturb you."

The three of them entered the living room and took their seats.

"My apologies for the poor hospitality. I only bought this villa today and haven't had time to hire servants yet, so I have to do everything myself. Please don't mind this humble tea."

"It's fine. We aren't the sort of people who enjoy luxury, either. First, let me apologize. In order to find out where you were, we sent people to investigate you. Now, to get to the point—if I'm not mistaken, you were able to break through to the Planetary level in such a short time because you obtained an inheritance from some ruin. According to the information we uncovered, half a year ago, you were only a junior war general. You lost a leg after encountering danger in the Wilderness Zone, then disappeared for half a year. By the time you appeared again, you were already at the Planetary level..."

Hong had carefully studied Yue Ming's background. He was an ordinary youth from an orphanage who had become a martial artist at the age of twenty-two. After fighting in the Wilderness Zone for four years, he became a junior war general. Everything about him had been utterly ordinary. The most suspicious period was the half year Yue Ming had disappeared. Hong suspected that Yue Ming had obtained an inheritance from some ruin during that time.

"So? What do you intend to do?"

"Don't misunderstand. Even if you obtained an inheritance, we would never do something as disgraceful as taking it by force. At most, we would make a fair trade with you, and naturally, only if you are willing. If you are unwilling, we will not force you."

Leaving aside the fact that Hong disdained doing something like robbery, even if he truly made a move, he could not guarantee that he could defeat Yue Ming. A Planetary-level warrior with a domain and one without a domain belonged to entirely different levels.

"I did not obtain an inheritance. More precisely, I did not obtain an inheritance of secret techniques. I merely obtained some cultivation resources—things like this."

Yue Ming purchased more than ten grains of Dragon Crystal Rice from the Chat Group Mall and placed them on the coffee table.

"Is this a Wood Tooth Crystal? No, it only resembles one somewhat, and the life energy within it is even purer. With such a treasure assisting your cultivation, it is no wonder you broke through to the Planetary level in just half a year. How much of this treasure do you have? Can you trade some to us?"

"This treasure is called Dragon Crystal Rice. Since this is our first meeting, consider these grains of Dragon Crystal Rice a gift from me. But I have one request as well. I do not want to expose myself to the public. I only want to cultivate quietly by myself. Other than the two of you, I do not want anyone disturbing me! Of course, unless there is something important, it would be best if you two did not disturb me either. I plan to enter seclusion for several years."

"No problem!"

Hong and Thor exchanged a glance, smiles appearing on their faces. There was also a trace more approval in the way they looked at Yue Ming. Perhaps birds of a feather truly flocked together. They were that kind of people as well. Their original purpose in founding their martial arts schools had not been fame, profit, or power, but rather to improve humanity's overall strength. Even so, the two of them rarely involved themselves in affairs, spending more than half of every year in secluded cultivation.

"This is called Dragon Crystal Rice, right? It must be extremely precious. Are you really giving it to us as a gift?"

Thor stared longingly at the Dragon Crystal Rice on the coffee table. He had been stuck at the Seventh Order of the Planetary level for years. With this Dragon Crystal Rice, he was almost certain he could break through to the Eighth Order of the Planetary level.

"I have plenty of Dragon Crystal Rice. If you still want more, you can exchange treasures for it. I cannot promise too much, but I have enough for both of you to cultivate to the Ninth Order of the Planetary level."

"It seems the opportunity you obtained was no small one. Even without an inheritance of secret techniques, these Dragon Crystal Rice alone are already an enormous fortuitous opportunity."

"I was merely lucky."

"Ahem, since it is rare for us to gather together, how about finding a place to spar?"

Seeing that they had talked enough, Thor could not help making the suggestion.

"He saw that you had comprehended a domain and wants to spar with you, hoping it might inspire him to comprehend one as well. In truth, Thor is only one step away from comprehending a domain, but he is too slow-witted. After all these years, he has never managed to take that final step."

Hong shook his head with a smile. He saw through Thor's little scheme at a glance.

"Ahem, Brother Hong, come on. Why are you exposing my shortcomings?"

"Actually, although the inheritance I obtained did not contain any secret techniques, it did contain some hidden information. It mentioned domains and laws. To comprehend a domain, put simply, is actually very easy. As long as one can synchronize the body, source energy, state of mind, and the universe into one, creating a special resonance and reaching a state of unity and harmony, a domain will naturally form..."

"Buzz, buzz~"

As soon as Yue Ming finished speaking, lightning began flashing across Thor's body. As the lightning spread and expanded, it eventually formed a special region. However, perhaps because he did not want to damage the villa, Thor withdrew his domain before it could fully unfold.

"Thank you!"

Thor thanked him with a sincere expression. He had been trapped at this step for more than a decade, always unable to take that final step. Yue Ming's words had enlightened him, allowing him to successfully comprehend a domain. He owed Yue Ming a tremendous debt of gratitude.
