Primal Secret Realm Domain Lord

The main hall was vast and empty. Palace Master Tianshi slowly strode forward, and behind him, the starry universe began to take shape, with the essence of the laws fully revealed.

"I watched you challenge Tongtian Mountain. Although you possess some secrets and fortuitous encounters, in essence, you're still cultivating the Dragon-walking Chaos Tablet."

Palace Master Tianshi said, "Your primary methods should still be space, along with some comprehension of time. Am I right?"

Zhou Lin nodded. His Primordial Universe System was still prepared to follow the mainstream path of time and space. Ideally, he would obtain the Second-Grade Space True Meaning in the future.

The Chaotic Void System had ultimately failed to condense a True Body God Heart. At present, his Void Realm True Meaning was still at the second stage, while some of his other Third-grade True Meanings had reached the third stage.

But he had no intention of condensing a God Heart with a Third-grade True Meaning. He would rather remain at the Transcendent stage for several more years.

According to Zhou Lin's own plans, although the Void Realm True Meaning had been acquired later, it progressed much faster than Hun Dong.

He first had to condense a Second-Grade Divine Heart and become a God.

Then he could slowly temper it. Of course, if he encountered a fortuitous opportunity, he might even ascend to the heavens in a single day.

"You're now my Personal Disciple, so I'll exchange the first volume of a cultivation technique for you. It's called Dragon Abyss, and it was personally created by the Great Being who comprehended this Dragon-walking Chaos Tablet."

Palace Master Tianshi continued, "I'll also gift you twenty more opportunities to comprehend the Dragon-walking Chaos Tablet. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come ask me anytime."

The points required for Dragon Abyss could be called astronomical.

It had been personally created by Lord of Dragon Walk, so its value was far higher than that of ordinary cultivation techniques. Learning even a little of its essence would allow one to dominate the universe with it.

"You can find a place to live here in Tianshi Palace, or return to the Primal Secret Realm. As for when you break through to Domain Lord, that will be entirely up to you."

Zhou Lin bowed once more before taking his leave. The things Palace Master Tianshi had given him were immensely valuable.

The first volume of Dragon Abyss alone was worth ten billion points.

A technique like Seven Transformations of Yan God, created by a Universe Overlord, had a first volume worth eight billion points, let alone one created by a true Universe Master.

Moreover, even with Palace Master Tianshi's status, exchanging for a cultivation technique still required spending points.

Of course, to a Top Universe Overlord, points—or worldly wealth—had long since lost their meaning. Hun Yuan units were merely numbers.

As for where to live, he still chose to return to the Primal Secret Realm.

If he had any doubts, he could always visit Palace Master Tianshi in the Virtual Universe.

However, although Palace Master Tianshi had said he could come anytime, Zhou Lin naturally couldn't truly seek help whenever he encountered a bottleneck. It had to be a genuinely difficult problem before he would trouble his teacher.

"Your Highness Zhou Lin!"

Outside the first level of Tianshi Palace, over a thousand powerful warriors stood in the void. At their head was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple-gold robe.

Zhou Lin had already learned about them in the Virtual Universe. The man in the purple-gold robe was named Aido, and he was a high-level Immortal Army Lord.

"Aido, I finally get to meet you in reality." Zhou Lin smiled as he walked over. Although his status was noble and comparable to that of an Immortal, he still had to maintain respect toward true experts.

The strength of an Immortal Army Lord was that of an extremely powerful God.

With Zhou Lin's full power unleashed, he could indeed slay a God against the odds, but facing an Immortal with better equipment and more methods would be much more difficult.

The Gods of the Chaotic Void had short lifespans. Moreover, even a Second-Grade Divine Heart, when cultivated to its limit, was only comparable to a King.

Very few Gods could match a Realm God. There were even fewer of them than Invincible Kings. The fundamental reason lay in their methods and accumulated foundations.

Aido possessed Plant Lifeform, powerful mind-force weapons, and armor protecting his body. He might even have some heaven-defying life-preserving methods.

In actual combat, the vast majority of Gods would be swept aside by Immortals.

"Your Highness, are we returning to the Primal Secret Realm now?" Aido asked.

Zhou Lin smiled. "Let's return first. I'm preparing to break through to Domain Lord in the next few days. By then, the company will appoint me as a Great Official of the Frontier."

The Virtual Universe Company's tradition was for Cosmic levels to undertake various missions and gain experience, while Domain Lord levels went to supervise a region.

Realm Lords had to undergo Life and Death trials.

Stable cultivation could not produce a truly peerless expert. Zhou Lin understood this very clearly.

"So soon?" Aido was stunned. He truly hadn't expected Zhou Lin to be so decisive, even abandoning those Cosmic-level missions.

Not to mention, the nearby Blood Luo Continent contained tremendous benefits.

Zhou Lin of course knew about the various advantages of remaining at the Cosmic level.

Those Desperate level and Dangerous level missions might even yield the Divine General Inheritance.

But what use would that be?

He was a First Grade True Meaning Transcendent. Becoming a Venerable could be said to be guaranteed. What Zhou Lin truly cared about instead was his gene level and Divine Body.

With his dual-system cultivation, Zhou Lin could fully make use of Snow Eagle's numerous methods and then obtain an extremely powerful Divine Body from the Origin Continent.

Everything else was illusory.

"Those missions no longer have any meaning for me."

Zhou Lin casually replied, "There isn't much point in remaining at the Cosmic level."

As they spoke, he had already boarded the spacecraft.

This was a spacecraft assigned by the Virtual Universe Company to members of the Primal Secret Realm. Its quality was countless times greater than his own.

Its speed was astonishingly fast.

Actually, the fastest method would have been for Aido to use Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

Unfortunately, Zhou Lin's current wealth wasn't great, and the points from challenging Tongtian Mountain could only be exchanged for after reaching the Realm Lord level.

Whoosh!

The spacecraft traveled through the Dark Universe. Zhou Lin stood by the window with a wineglass in hand, gazing at the endless black void.

His consciousness was connected to the Virtual Universe. He was still watching recordings of that Genius Battle, along with many comments and the experiences of his predecessor.

"Luojin Universe Nation." Zhou Lin had been born in this Universe Country.

His current appearance leaned toward that of an Earthling. This might have been because his soul had fundamentally transformed, in addition to Zhou Lin deliberately making it so.

Zhou Lin also wasn't sure whether he would be discovered if he went to Chaos City again because of his soul transformation.

But he didn't really care.

After all, he was still fundamentally a member of humanity. Even if City Master of Chaos discovered that his soul had changed, he wouldn't think much of it.

[Please rest assured, Host. All your methods, as well as your core soul, appear perfectly normal under others' probing. There is no difference from your predecessor.]

It seemed to know what Zhou Lin was thinking, and the system displayed a prompt.

Only then did he relax. Otherwise, he would temporarily have no way to use the opportunities Palace Master Tianshi had gifted him to comprehend the Dragon-walking Chaos Tablet.

The spacecraft soon arrived at the Primal Secret Realm and reached Zhou Lin's new manor. It was far more spacious than the Taichu Secret Realm, large enough to accommodate an entire life planet.

There were over a thousand guards, and tens of thousands of mortal servants responsible for various chores. When they saw the spacecraft descend, they immediately knelt together on the ground.

"Greetings, Your Highness Zhou Lin!"

Their voices shook the heavens and resounded beyond the ninth firmament.

Zhou Lin's gaze was calm, as though he had already grown accustomed to the respect others showed him.

"Rise."

After saying this, he walked toward the manor.
