Palace Master Tianshi's Gift

Life-and-death trials were a path every genius had to walk.

The only choices were the Outer Domain Battlefield or a Cosmic Secret Realm, and the risk levels were basically the same.

There were many places in the Cosmic Secret Realm with harsh environments.

As for the Outer Domain Battlefield, there was naturally no need to say more. It was teeming with countless aliens, and the moment Zhou Lin's identity was exposed, he would face overwhelming pursuit.

"Disciple wants to go to a Cosmic Secret Realm." Zhou Lin said seriously, "My methods are better suited for exploration. Or do you have another opinion, Teacher?"

Palace Master Tianshi said, "Your reputation among the aliens is considerable. Once your identity is exposed, there will probably be countless people hunting you down. Whether you go to the Outer Domain Battlefield or a Cosmic Secret Realm, it will be the same."

By his estimation, the reward for killing Zhou Lin would probably be comparable to that for killing an Invincible King.

The aliens would naturally go completely mad.

The news that Zhou Lin had broken through to Realm Lord was no secret.

Of the four giants of the Virtual Universe Company's Luojin Universe Nation, one had suddenly disappeared. Even an idiot would know that Zhou Lin had broken through to Realm Lord and resigned from his position.

"That is precisely why Disciple wants to go to a Cosmic Secret Realm." Zhou Lin naturally understood that if a human genius Realm Lord appeared on the Outer Domain Battlefield at this time—

Even if they could not be one hundred percent certain it was him, those aliens would still madly surround and attack him.

"A Cosmic Secret Realm is equally dangerous." Concern filled Palace Master Tianshi's eyes. "Once your identity as a Realm Lord is exposed, you will naturally become an easy target for the aliens."

Zhou Lin could sense the deep concern in Palace Master Tianshi's words.

The other party truly treated him extremely well, regarding him as family.

"Teacher, I have confidence in preserving my life." Unless Zhou Lin encountered a Universe Venerable, the vast majority of King Immortals no longer had the ability to kill him.

The complete Void Realm Divine Heart allowed him to remain in another world at all times.

A King who possessed the Law of Space could only send in so much power. Besides, Zhou Lin would definitely be using an Avatar when adventuring outside.

Even if he encountered a Soul Master, he was confident he would not be enslaved.

"You cultivate many methods." Palace Master Tianshi's expression suddenly became solemn. "You have learned other people's battle Secret Arts, but they will not suit you. You must create your own as soon as possible."

Zhou Lin nodded slightly. He had also realized the importance of battle Secret Arts.

Take the Secret Techniques of the Rule Profundity System, for example.

Ordinary Transcendents might have already developed Secret Techniques, yet Zhou Lin still had none.

The fundamental reason was that it was difficult for him to use the Rule Profundity System in actual combat. Without day-in and day-out tempering, comprehending a Secret Technique solely through his own efforts was far too difficult.

"I'm currently cultivating the battle Secret Arts of Dragon Abyss. I feel that I can use them, but they don't feel natural." Zhou Lin got straight to the point and identified his biggest problem.

Dragon Abyss had been personally created by Lord of Dragon Walk. His fighting style favored broad, powerful movements, and the weapon he used was not a sword.

Zhou Lin followed the path of the Void Realm and the sword. His style was actually more suited to that of an assassin.

He was naturally unaccustomed to this kind of broad, powerful fighting style.

Palace Master Tianshi offered some guidance. "There are indeed some sword Secret Manuals, but everyone's style is different. Moreover, your Laws are worlds apart from theirs. You have actually reached the time when you should create your own Secret Arts."

Normally, one would begin creating Secret Arts during the Realm Lord stage.

If the Secret Arts one cultivated were sufficiently advanced, this could be delayed for some time.

The two teacher and disciple chatted casually for a long while. Palace Master Tianshi also tested Zhou Lin's current realm and pointed out many key points in his cultivation.

In the end, Palace Master Tianshi even said, "The Realm Lord stage is also the most important period of your growth. I will give you a gift as well."

If he could become an Immortal, the hidden dangers to his safety would instead be greatly reduced.

Palace Master Tianshi took out a sword gleaming with silver light, and the temperature throughout the hall instantly dropped considerably.

"If they knew that I gave you this treasure, someone might say that I spoil my disciple too much." Palace Master Tianshi teased.

The silver sword was exceptionally beautiful, its surface engraved with exquisite patterns.

Zhou Lin felt that Palace Master Tianshi's gift could not possibly be an ordinary object. Its minimum value should be that of a Heavy Treasure.

"It is called Dust Frost." Palace Master Tianshi said solemnly, "It is considered a decent Heavy Treasure. It will make Universe Venerables take notice and make King Immortals fight desperately."

Only the most top-tier Heavy Treasures could make the Venerables chase after them frenziedly.

By Zhou Lin's assessment of the values of the two worlds, this treasure was equivalent to a mid-grade World Divine Artifact.

Zhou Lin accepted the Dust Frost Sword and strapped it around his waist.

"You must store it properly. Do not take it out so casually." Palace Master Tianshi warned him, "Its aura is not weak. Others will recognize it at a glance. It is best used only when you need to preserve your life."

Zhou Lin nodded respectfully.

Palace Master Tianshi reminded Zhou Lin of many other matters.

He even sent Zhou Lin all the information, categorized in detail, about the Secret Realms he could enter and adventure through during the Realm Lord stage.

It could be said to be extraordinarily comprehensive. Even what treasures each region produced and where inheritances could be found were explained clearly.

Zhou Lin naturally felt awe toward the Cosmic Secret Realms.

Some of those places had environments that even Venerables did not dare recklessly enter.

Marquis Blood Robe, Lian Luo, had died in a Cosmic Secret Realm, and Kedi, the monstrous genius from the same Genius Battle as Zhou Lin, had likewise died in one.

Palace Master Tianshi finally produced an envelope. "This contains a fragment of my spiritual imprint. If you encounter unavoidable danger, you can crush it."

Within the Cosmic Secret Realms, the rules were not as strict as those of the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Still, there were restrictions. For example, some Secret Realms only allowed Immortals to enter at most. If a Venerable dared to go, they would be violating the rules.

Only a Universe Master, or an existence like Palace Master Tianshi, dared to occasionally break the rules.

"Disciple understands." Zhou Lin said with a grin, "There definitely will not be a day when Disciple has to crush this message talisman."

Watching Zhou Lin's departing figure, the worry in Palace Master Tianshi's eyes still refused to dissipate. The road ahead could only be traversed by this disciple himself.

He had seen Zhou Lin's confidence. That was a good thing, but it could also become a bad thing.

After leaving Tianshi Palace, Zhou Lin headed toward the manor in his Primal Secret Realm, purchasing all kinds of items along the way.

He could not afford to be careless when truly venturing into a Cosmic Secret Realm.

Whether it was cultivating Plant Lifeforms, buying detectors, or acquiring special weapons, anything capable of killing a King was far too expensive.

Beep beep beep!

At that moment, an electronic mail arrived.

King Fengyan was also extremely concerned about Zhou Lin. She packaged and sent over all the information she knew about the Outer Domain Battlefield and the Cosmic Secret Realms.

Although Palace Master Tianshi had given him information as well, as a high and mighty Top Universe Overlord, he had never personally visited many of those Secret Realms.

What King Fengyan gave him, however, was all based on her own experience.

For example, the Star Tower and Yanji Continent regions of the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Or the various Cosmic Secret Realms. After King Fengyan finished sending everything, she did not ask Zhou Lin to come find her. She only urged him to be extremely careful at the end.

"Teacher, once I return alive and conquer the Primal Tongtian Mountain, I will come see you."

Zhou Lin felt a warm feeling in his heart.

This teacher whom his predecessor had once acknowledged truly treated him well too. Whenever Zhou Lin encountered any problems after arriving in this world, he would go ask King Fengyan.
