Cangyun Artifact Spirit returned inside the bracelet and revealed its true form, transforming into a mass of white clouds that blotted out the sky and sun. The aura contained within was extremely mysterious.

The clouds wrapped around Zhou Lin from head to toe and rapidly flew deeper inside.

"It really is miraculous. I can't feel any pressure at all."

Zhou Lin praised it. Although the Artifact Spirit could not unleash the full power of the World Divine Artifact, it was still far stronger than he was now.

If his own strength erupted completely, he could suppress Aido.

Aido was powerful because he possessed Immortal Divine Power. His law comprehension was still inferior to Bai Bo's, but in an actual battle, he would only be somewhat stronger.

"If you could master the complete Space God Heart, you could at least go much farther." Cangyun Artifact Spirit transmitted his voice.

Zhou Lin did not reply. He was still a little short of comprehending the Space True Intent, let alone the complete God Heart. That would be a qualitative leap.

The clouds advanced at a speed of five thousand kilometers per second. They soon swept past the area where the King Immortals were and charged straight into the deepest region.

The spatial pressure here was terrifying. Large fragments were already flying everywhere. Zhou Lin merged into the Void Realm, and only with Cangyun carrying him was there no problem.

"It's terrifying. There's no profundity left in a place like this."

Zhou Lin clicked his tongue. "And because it's too chaotic, it doesn't contain the complete Law of Space either. So it's nearly impossible to cultivate to the Venerable level here."

Universe Venerables had all mastered the complete Law of Space.

No wonder only the Marquis Immortals were enthusiastic about this place. King Immortals hardly ever came here. To them, it held little significance.

When Zhou Lin was in the middle section, he could already see many Marquis Immortals.

However, none of them could sense Zhou Lin, who was hiding within the Void Realm.

"We can't go any farther." When they reached three hundred thousand kilometers along the corridor, Cangyun stopped as well. The Artifact Spirit's voice became solemn. "I have no problem going farther, but I can't protect you."

Zhou Lin was speechless. He was still inside Cangyun even after becoming incorporeal. If even he could not go farther, there was even less hope for the other Domain Lords and Realm Lords.

It looks like this opportunity isn't meant for me. Zhou Lin did not feel disappointed. Everyone had their own fate. He had initially thought he might be able to pick up a bargain by relying on Cangyun.

But after thinking about it carefully, this place was not a mission from the Virtual Universe Company. The places he could reach had long since been visited by the Universe Venerables.

To go deeper, he would probably have to take an enormous risk. Even though Zhou Lin vaguely felt that there would be benefits at the very center, he still had to stop.

Only by restraining the greed in his heart could one go farther.

He had dared to accept the Desperate Level Mission precisely because Zhou Lin had been sufficiently confident.

"If you could master the World Divine Heart, then we could give it a try." Cangyun Artifact Spirit sighed. "Let's go back, kid."

Zhou Lin glared at him irritably.

If I could master the World Divine Heart? By then, I would already be a First Tier Celestial God. Besides, the Void Realm and space itself are branches of the world.

I would naturally be able to master the Space God Heart then. Wouldn't going deeper be effortless?

With Cangyun Artifact Spirit carrying him, Zhou Lin soon returned to the entrance.

Outside, Zhou Ming Wang and Aido were still standing where they had been. As Immortals, they had endless lifespans, so naturally they were also extremely patient.

"His Highness must have gained a great deal." Zhou Ming Wang was the first to notice Zhou Lin's figure and greeted him with a smile.

"I have to thank you as well for bringing me here, Zhou Ming Wang." Zhou Lin was filled with gratitude. Progress in the laws was not the most important thing. Comprehending the Space True Intent was the key.

The Void Realm and space both belonged to a part of the world.

If Zhou Lin comprehended the Space True Intent to the Divine Heart Realm, combining the two might allow him to master the World True Intent.

And once that happened, becoming a Second Heaven Realm God would only be a matter of time.

"Hehe." Zhou Ming Wang smiled. "Your Highness, you follow the path of the Dragon-walking Chaos Tablet. My tribe also has several similar techniques. Would you like to choose one?"

Among cultivators, there were actually many, many who followed the Beast God Path.

It was extremely difficult to combine space and time to become a Universe Master, because both laws belonged to the higher level. The difficulty of merging laws might appear somewhat lower.

In truth, the difficulty was not different in the slightest.

"Then I'll thank you in advance." Zhou Lin solemnly cupped his fists and directly made a promise. "If I can become a Universe Venerable in the future, I will certainly look after the Tiwala Tribe to some extent."

Zhou Ming Wang smiled in satisfaction.

When Zhou Lin had first come to the Moling Great World, according to the legends, he had only been capable of breaking through the Cosmic Level Primordial Tongtian Mountain, with law comprehension roughly at the twelfth or thirteenth level of Tongtian Bridge.

Such potential would be judged as someone who appeared once every several million Eras.

There was an extremely high probability of becoming a King Immortal and an extremely low probability of becoming a Venerable.

But what strength had Zhou Lin revealed? He had killed an extraordinary Realm Lord while still a Domain Lord, and he possessed profound techniques from the Rule Profundity System.

Not to mention the Tiwala Tribe, even humanity's evaluation of him had risen another level. He was directly judged to be one of the most monstrous geniuses.

That meant an extremely high probability of becoming a Venerable and an extremely low probability of becoming a Universe Master.

Therefore, the Tiwala Tribe would naturally do its utmost to befriend him.

"Then we can set out for the Venerable Lord Hall immediately." After Zhou Ming Wang spoke, he prepared to take Zhou Lin and begin teleporting.

"No rush." Zhou Lin refused. "If you don't mind, Zhou Ming Wang, I'd like to travel there slowly and take a good look at the Moling Great World."

Zhou Ming Wang was somewhat surprised, but still smiled. "That's fine too."

He wondered what there was to see in the Moling Great World. In terms of prosperity, it was far inferior to the Human Territory, and most regions were covered in bamboo forests.

How could he know that Zhou Lin was learning from nature and comprehending the Heaven and Earth Rules? Only now had he understood a principle.

Comprehending the rules of the Chaotic Void only allowed him to mobilize power.

The system was what truly deserved to be emulated. It was like the God Kings of the Origin Continent, who could likewise easily create one cultivation system after another.

The Bloodline Flow had the fastest cultivation speed.

"This Primordial Universe follows the Law System, while the systems of other Primordial Universes might be different."

After understanding this, Zhou Lin would not be far from comprehending the World True Intent. Besides, he had actually known the answer from the very beginning.

What he needed was merely the process of realizing it.

It was like a complicated math problem. When you knew nothing, you could only calculate it blindly, or even guess.

But as long as you were told the correct answer, it would become much simpler even without any guidance through the process. Zhou Lin was in precisely this situation now.

"His Highness seems to be thinking about something this entire journey." Aido teased him. "It's rare to see you so quiet."

The two of them continued discussing cultivation in private. After all, Zhou Lin's comprehension was still above his, while Aido, as an Immortal, had extensive experience and knowledge.

In Aido's eyes, Zhou Lin definitely counted as the talkative type.

Zhou Lin's speed suddenly surged. He raced across the sky, seemingly encountering no resistance at all, moving with incomparable smoothness.

"Aido, Zhou Ming Wang." Zhou Lin laughed heartily. "I was stuck at a bottleneck just now, but I suddenly understood it. I'm in a pretty good mood."
