After comprehending the complete Space True Intent, Zhou Lin instantly felt that the entire world had changed.

Beneath his feet stretched a vast sea of forests, while above him was an endless azure sky. Distant mountains, cities, and even the stars in the firmament seemed infinitely closer in his eyes.

Zhou Lin felt like a fish, while space was an endless ocean.

He could merge into it at any moment, then emerge from another location.

This was the legendary Teleportation.

This did not mean Zhou Lin's comprehension of the laws was enough to rival a King Immortal. What he had grasped were the rules of heaven and earth, not the Universe Origin Laws.

The Origin Laws were far more complex.

Even a Space God Heart could not compare to the complete Law of Space.

As a result, the distance of his Teleportation was far inferior to that of King Immortals. At most, he could travel several tens of millions of li in a single jump.

"It is a good thing that Your Highness has made a breakthrough." Zhou Ming Wang flashed over in an instant. "Shall we head directly to the Venerable Lord Hall now?"

He did not want to waste time flying slowly. The Venerable Lord Hall was One Light Year away from the Space Corridor, and they could at most maintain sub-light speed.

If they flew slowly, it would take more than a year.

"Let's go, then." Zhou Lin spoke indifferently. The bottleneck that had troubled him had broken through at this moment, and he was not far from comprehending World True Intent either.

He was truly in an exceptionally good mood now.

Zhou Ming Wang brought Aido and him along, and with a flash, Teleported to the vicinity of the Venerable Lord Hall. This enormous structure was also the absolute holy land of the Moling Great World.

The radiance at its summit shone everywhere, more dazzling than any star.

"The top floor is where the Venerable Elders reside. Without notification, even I am not qualified to enter." Zhou Ming Wang pointed toward the center of the Venerable Lord Hall. "The clan's manuals are stored there, and I happen to be responsible for guarding them."

Before comprehending Space True Intent, Zhou Lin would not have been able to sense the peculiarities of this structure.

But now, he could perceive that the area for tens of thousands of li around the Venerable Lord Hall was under absolute Space Lockdown. Even though Zhou Ming Wang had Teleported here, they were still some distance away from the Venerable Lord Hall.

From tens of thousands of li away, the Venerable Lord Hall still appeared boundless, blotting out the sky and sun.

"Is such a vast area of space locked down at all times?" Zhou Lin guessed that the Venerable Lord Hall probably contained a great number of treasures.

Otherwise, if some Immortal in one's own household were enslaved, stole the treasures, and then escaped directly through Divine Kingdom Traversal, that would be a regret beyond remedy.

Areas containing important treasures were almost always sealed off in space.

Following Zhou Ming Wang, they flew all the way to the center of the Venerable Lord Hall. After a series of cumbersome verification procedures, the massive doors forged from G-class Metal opened with a thunderous rumble.

Aido tactfully stood at the entrance and did not follow them inside.

Zhou Lin followed behind Zhou Ming Wang. From the entrance, he could not see the scene within at all, but once inside, he was greeted by endless volumes of scriptures.

The manuals stored in all kinds of forms were too numerous to count.

Some were kept in metal cases, while others were placed inside display cabinets.

The grand hall was nearly ten thousand meters tall and over a hundred kilometers wide. Layer upon layer of books were arranged according to their value, their exteriors encircled by dark green rune restrictions.

Touching those restrictions would trigger an alarm.

"This is the foundation of a clan." Zhou Ming Wang's gaze was full of satisfaction. Whenever he saw these manuals, he felt at ease.

As long as these inheritances remained, the clan would endure.

Zhou Lin humbly asked, "Zhou Ming Wang, what Secret Art or manual do you think would be best for me to choose?"

The Golden Horn Tribe had only given Luo Feng one.

But the Tiwala Tribe allowed Zhou Lin to choose freely.

When Luo Feng had gone to the Golden Horn Tribe, he had only had King Zhenyan as his teacher and had not displayed particularly formidable strength himself.

If he had gone as City Master of Chaos's disciple, the Golden Horn Tribe would also have let him choose freely. So long as a precious secret manual was not a sole copy, they would have given it to him without hesitation.

"I do not understand Your Highness's cultivation path." Zhou Ming Wang revealed an embarrassed expression, indicating that he was unable to help.

He was a cultivator of the Beast God Path.

Zhou Lin, meanwhile, walked the path of combining time and space. He could offer some guidance if asked solely about the Law of Space, but when it came to spacetime, he was completely at a loss.

"I think you should ask your teacher in the Virtual Universe."

Zhou Ming Wang smiled. "Your teacher is knowledgeable and experienced. He will naturally help you make the best decision."

Zhou Lin split off part of his consciousness to connect to the Virtual Universe, but he did not go to the plane where Palace Master Tianshi was. Instead, he sought out King Fengyan.

The first teacher his predecessor had acknowledged.

She was also the teacher Zhou Lin himself had interacted with most closely.

"What is it?" King Fengyan quickly accepted the call. Her voice was still incomparably cold and devoid of emotion, carrying a feeling that kept others at a thousand miles' distance.

If they had not known each other for so long, Zhou Lin might have thought King Fengyan had some grievance against him.

"Teacher," Zhou Lin hurriedly said, "I am in the Tiwala Tribe, and they wish to give me some secret manuals. I wonder if you have any recommendations?"

King Fengyan was silent for a moment before replying directly, "The Tiwala Tribe's Ink Soul Venerable created Origin of Time, which is quite excellent."

As a cultivator of time and space, King Fengyan naturally understood many manuals throughout the universe.

Especially since the Tiwala Tribe was a human subsidiary clan.

Many of their secret manuals could be exchanged directly with points.

"Anything else? Teacher, I can choose several more." Zhou Lin asked again.

King Fengyan coldly said, "No. You do not need to choose anything so complicated."

"Alright." Zhou Lin said with a grin, "Once your disciple leaves his post in the Luojin Universe Nation, I will come visit you, Teacher."

King Fengyan directly ended the call.

Zhou Lin said to Zhou Ming Wang, "Can I choose the manual Origin of Time?"

"Origin of Time?" Zhou Ming Wang's thoughts stirred, and a silver metal case from the highest shelf flew out, landing directly before Zhou Lin.

Zhou Ming Wang pressed his palm against the restriction, and the metal case opened at once. Inside lay a thick, weighty manual.

Zhou Lin estimated that the manual probably weighed several hundred jin.

"Ink Soul Venerable cannot return at present." Zhou Ming Wang spoke with some sorrow. "Origin of Time is currently a sole copy. Your Highness may only memorize it and cannot take it away."

Unable to return at present actually meant that he was already dead.

Several Epochs ago, Ink Soul Venerable had died on the Original Star.

The good news was that, as a human subsidiary clan and a member of the Hong Alliance, he naturally had a chance of revival, but he would need to wait through a long span of years.

Venerables from such subsidiary clans often had to wait until the time came for mass revival before they could be revived by a Universe Master.

"Zuo Ke, help me record it." Zhou Lin connected his consciousness to the Artificial Intelligence, having Zuo Ke record the complete secret manual.

Zhou Lin himself carefully examined the original.

The original had been personally handwritten by Ink Soul Venerable and contained a marvelous, ineffable charm.
