"I never expected my disciple, after being resurrected once, to make such tremendous progress in his state of mind. It could truly be called a blessing in disguise!" Dry Witch Universe Master burst into laughter. "Haha... Good! Good! Good!"
It was no wonder Dry Witch Universe Master was so delighted.
Take Hong and Thunder God from the original work. Judging solely by talent, it would have been impressive enough for them to become universe level. Yet because their states of mind were so powerful that external influences could not affect them, they continued to improve without pause. Hong eventually became a True God, while Thunder God fell just short of that, but still became a Universe Master in the end!
Of course, their eventual achievements also had much to do with Luo Feng obtaining the Duan Dong River inheritance and Jin's World inheritance, as well as the abundant resources Luo Feng provided them. But the help their powerful states of mind gave them was equally obvious.
In Dry Witch Universe Master's eyes, Lian Luo might originally have become no more than a King-level Immortal. But now, after his transformation of mind, his potential had been elevated further. He had hope of stepping into the realm of a Universe Venerable in the future!
Naturally, Dry Witch Universe Master was happy to see his disciple show such promise!
He looked at Lian Luo with a smile. "If you have any doubts, feel free to speak. I shall answer them one by one."
Dry Witch Universe Master was an exceedingly ancient Universe Venerable. Long ago, he had already comprehended the entire Space Law and become a Space Venerable. Afterwards, in order to continue breaking through, he began attempting to comprehend the Time Law. When his comprehension of the Time Law encountered a bottleneck, he turned to studying the Way of the Beast God of space, hoping to draw parallels and gain insight!
Over the endless years, he had ample time to try every possible path.
Thus, the confusion and incomprehension Lian Luo encountered while studying the "Star Prison Demonic Codex" were extremely simple to him.
"Yes, Teacher!" Lian Luo promptly raised the questions he had encountered during his studies.
Dry Witch Universe Master was, after all, a high-level Universe Venerable. His guidance in Lian Luo's cultivation naturally came from a lofty perspective and was delivered with ease. His explanations left Lian Luo suddenly enlightened, even making him beam with excitement.
As they asked and answered, Dry Witch Universe Master occasionally waved his hand, condensing energy into intricate Law secret patterns for Lian Luo to observe. This gave him the most direct understanding of the 'fire and space' Way of the Beast God.
The instruction lasted for a full half month. Only after all the doubts in his heart had been resolved did Lian Luo respectfully bid farewell to Dry Witch Universe Master.
Within the towering divine hall, Dry Witch Universe Master watched Lian Luo's departing figure, smiling faintly. "My disciple is not far from becoming King Level!"
In truth, Lian Luo becoming King Level was a certainty. From the very beginning, he had walked the path of analyzing the essence of space. Only after analyzing the 108 essences of the Space Law had he stepped into immortality. With his understanding of the essences of the Space Law, comprehending the first six diagrams of the Nine Universes Chaos Tablet would present almost no difficulty. It was practically guaranteed!
Unfortunately, he had fallen too early and thus failed to become King Level. Now that he had returned after resurrection, his cultivation along the path of Laws would naturally advance by leaps and bounds!
"Moreover, my disciple walks the Way of the Beast God. If he cultivates the second level of the 'Star Prison Demonic Codex' and steps into King Level, he will be far stronger than ordinary King-level Immortals!" Dry Witch Universe Master thought to himself. "His transformation of mind should also greatly aid his cultivation!"
"If he were to challenge Illusion Sea now, he could pass the twentieth island!"
Ninth Battlefield, inside a villa on the island of Base 076.
Lian Luo's Main Body slowly opened his eyes, joy gleaming within them. "Dry Witch Universe Master's half-month of guidance and explanations were nearly equivalent to thousands of years of bitter cultivation for me!"
"Within ten thousand years, I am completely confident that I can cultivate the second level of the 'Star Prison Demonic Codex' and pass the eighteenth level of Tongtian Bridge!"
"Next, my main body's task is to comprehend Laws and cultivate the second level of the 'Star Prison Demonic Codex.' The Nine Li clone will create secret techniques while also studying the first-layer secret patterns on the 'Feather Spirit Stepping Heaven Boots'!"
"Aliens, just wait! Once I step into King Level, I'll show you what cruelty truly means!"
More than a thousand years passed. The human Jiu Li who had seized the precious battle-boot treasure remained hidden inside the War Base and never emerged. Meanwhile, the Purple Splendor Star River was searched from top to bottom by countless Immortal Gods, yet they still failed to discover the possibly existing second precious battle boot.
Aside from a few peak King-level experts who still refused to give up, most other powerful beings returned to slaughtering one another in high-level combat regions such as Burning Separation Space-time.
Gradually, the entire Ninth Battlefield returned to tranquility.
Yet everyone knew that once the human Jiu Li appeared, or the second precious battle boot emerged, the Ninth Battlefield would immediately become incomparably lively again.
The current peace was merely an illusion before the storm arrived!
Primal Secret Realm, Ninth Space-time, within the enormous estate of a universe level member.
A thin, bald young man clad in golden armor sat cross-legged.
"I can break through into the Domain Lord level at any time! But... I still haven't carried out the cultivation missions in Abyss of Purgatory and Cloud Palace!" The thin young man pondered silently. "Yet the mortality rate of those two missions is terrifyingly high. If I undertake them now, I have no absolute confidence that I can survive!"
A trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes. "Should I break through into a Domain Lord now and be sent out, or remain at the universe level for several thousand more years, wait until I am confident, and then carry out those two cultivation missions?"
"Besides, the strength of universe level geniuses and Domain Lord level geniuses differs enormously. I have only passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge, but the weakest Domain Lord level members of the 'Primordial Secret Realm' have all passed the eighth level, while the weakest among the ten Domain Lord level members of the 'Primal Secret Realm' has even passed the tenth level of Tongtian Bridge!"
"If I break through and become a Domain Lord, I may very well fall into the Primordial Secret Realm in the next qualification battle!"
"Should I break through?"
The thin young man considered it for a moment before finally making up his mind. "I'll seek guidance from my ancestor. He, too, rose step by step from a universe level genius of the Primal Secret Realm. He will certainly be able to tell me the right choice!"
"Break through? Or not break through?"
Within a divine hall on Thunder Island, Lian Luo looked at Lian Chi Tong, who stood respectfully before him with his hands lowered, and smiled. "Is that even a question? Of course you should break through! On the path of cultivation, be cautious when caution is needed, and forge ahead bravely when bravery is needed. Right now, you should naturally advance with courage! Cut through every obstacle!"
"Once you break through to the Domain Lord level, you will have to compete with those Domain Lord level geniuses, and the pressure will naturally be greater! But likewise, after becoming a Domain Lord, your cultivation and comprehension of Laws will be faster! The greater the pressure, the faster your progress!"
"You must possess a heart that advances relentlessly. Besides... the World Lord Level is the stage at which one comprehends Origin Laws the fastest. Only then is there a need to suppress your level. At the universe level? Suppressing your level for those meager resources is completely sacrificing the greater for the lesser!"
"The greater the pressure, the faster the progress!"
"A heart that advances relentlessly!"
"Sacrificing the greater for the lesser!"
As Lian Chi Tong listened to his ancestor's words, his eyes grew brighter and brighter. "That's right! Abyss of Purgatory only grants one million points for completing its mission! Yet the F-class spaceship Ancestor casually bestowed upon me is worth even more than the mission's point reward! Staying at the universe level for thousands of years over such a tiny reward would simply be the act of a fool!"
"I understand, Ancestor. I will immediately break through to the Domain Lord level, then be sent out to the Ganwu Universe Country!"
"Go on." Lian Luo nodded with a smile.
