Special Army Treasury

At this moment, within Li Ze's Origin Core, streams of Five-Colored Radiance emanated from the central Black Hole.

Bathed in that radiance, the entire Original Force Galaxy spun slightly faster.

The greatest change was to the soul within the central Black Hole. Previously colorless and occasionally emitting faint Chaos Aura, it had, after three years of cleansing and transformation, become a translucent humanoid with a chaotic hue, like a miniature Li Ze. Streams of Origin Mystic Patterns were engraved upon the soul.

With a mere thought to comprehend the Origin Laws, the Mystic Patterns engraved on his soul appeared directly upon the surface of his Origin Core. The patterns continuously fluctuated, increasing the clarity with which Li Ze's consciousness sensed the various law fluctuations by tenfold, as though the Origin Laws had been laid directly before his eyes.

The clarity of different laws varied as well, representing one's talent in those laws.

If, before the Sacred Mountain Baptism, his clarity in comprehending the Law of Space had been 1, then his clarity in sensing the Law of Fire had probably been 10!

But after the Sacred Mountain Baptism, his clarity in comprehending the laws of wind, light, and time had become 1, his clarity in comprehending the Law of Space was 10, and his clarity in comprehending the Law of Fire was probably 100!

"The Sacred Mountain Baptism is this powerful?"

"Comprehending laws has become ten times easier!"

"This has already far surpassed the comprehension speed of Universe level and Domain Lord level cultivators! If I become a Sector Lord in the future, won't comprehending laws become as easy as drinking water?" Li Ze's eyes gleamed.

After his astonishment faded, Li Ze could not help but feel puzzled. "If the Sacred Mountain Baptism is so effective, why would such a resource be directly used by Universe level soldiers on the Outer Domain Battlefield?"

"If the core geniuses of the five major powers used this baptism, wouldn't it create a huge number of monstrous geniuses?"

If the other Universe level soldiers who had undergone the Sacred Mountain Baptism heard Li Ze's question, they would probably curse him out on the spot.

After their three-year Sacred Mountain Baptism, their speed of law comprehension had only increased by around twenty percent compared to before. Even the more talented ones had only reached twenty-five percent.

How could there be a freak like Li Ze? His Universe level Sacred Mountain Baptism had actually alerted the Primordial Universe Origin Will, which had moved over the core that sustained the operation of the entire Sacred Mountain.

"Ding!"

"Master, the Cosmic Army Command Center of the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield has sent a message. The Sacred Mountain is about to close, and you need to leave now!" Walli's voice rang out in Li Ze's mind.

Hearing Walli's words, Li Ze rose from his cross-legged position and headed toward the blue curtain of water in the hall.

At the same time, figures flew out of the pools filled with transparent blue-green liquid within the other 999 peaks undergoing the Sacred Mountain Baptism.

"It ended so quickly! It would've been great if it had lasted longer!"

"Sigh! Even with full effort in absorbing it, my law comprehension speed only increased by fifteen percent!"

"It's already over? Still, this isn't bad. My law comprehension speed increased by twenty percent!"

"After breaking through to Sector Lord, my talent for comprehending laws will improve even further!"

Voices of complaint and satisfaction rang out in the halls of the peaks. Then, they all headed toward the spatial passages through which they had arrived.

Splash!

On the honeycomb-shaped metal structure, ripples spread across the blue curtain of water within Spatial Passage No. 1, and Li Ze emerged from it.

Without pausing, he strode out along the passage and flew down onto the floor of the square hall within the metal palace.

At this moment, there was only one Domain Lord level guide on the ground. Li Ze was the first to emerge from the baptism space.

A little while later, the Universe level soldiers who had entered the Sacred Mountain began flying out of the honeycomb-shaped metal structure one after another.

Excitement filled the soldiers' faces. They had clearly gained a great deal.

Soon, all one thousand soldiers who had entered previously had emerged, and Li Ze reunited with the others from Tongfeng Team.

"How was it? What did you gain?" Based on past Sacred Mountain Baptism experiences, those with different talents gained different benefits from the baptism.

"Not bad. I feel like my law comprehension speed has increased by over twenty percent!" Jirui Yu's face was full of excitement.

"Same here. My law comprehension speed increased by twenty percent." Lairui'er's face was also covered in smiles.

The others all nodded with smiles on their faces.

Li Ze's heart stirred, but he did not reveal anything on his face.

"Soldiers, please proceed to the Plaza where you arrived and wait to board the ship for your return journey!" Once the Domain Lord level guide saw that all the soldiers who had participated in the baptism had emerged, he did not waste any more time.

Boom!

Before anyone could move, a blazing and majestic aura appeared in the hall.

A young man clad in Dark Red Battle Armor appeared in the hall. His pupils were dark red, each earlobe bore a red crystal, and he radiated endless majesty.

The newcomer was none other than King Yuchi!

"Li Ze, come with me!" King Yuchi remained where he stood and transmitted his voice to Li Ze.

Li Ze was stunned when he heard his teacher's voice transmission. He had not expected his teacher to arrive so quickly.

"Lairui'er, Jirui Yu, Han Fu, Mengqian, Lan Kun, this is my teacher. I'm leaving now. I hope we'll meet again in the future!" Li Ze quickly bid farewell to his teammates beside him.

The members of Tongfeng Team had clearly not expected the newcomer to be Li Ze's teacher, nor had they expected their parting to come so quickly. Before they could say anything else, Li Ze had already nodded to them and headed toward King Yuchi.

"May we meet again at the pinnacle!" As they watched Li Ze's final figure disappear after being taken away by King Yuchi, they silently offered their blessings.

Under King Yuchi's guidance, Li Ze arrived at a manor within a military camp.

"You stay in this manor for now and use your Special Army Treasury privileges. I'll submit the guarantee application for your temporary departure from the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield." King Yuchi glanced at the manor and instructed Li Ze.

For a Universe level soldier like Li Ze to retire from the army, he needed not only sufficient Military Merit but also to complete the required term of service. After all, when they enlisted, the Cosmic Army had already provided them with various benefits; correspondingly, it imposed certain requirements on them.

However, if an expert at the Immortal level or above guaranteed them, they could apply to temporarily leave the Cosmic Army. Once they became a Sector Lord level expert, they would have to return to the Outer Domain Battlefield to complete the remainder of their service. At that time, they would need even more Military Merit to retire.

Although Li Ze had gained enough Military Merit to retire during this Sacred Mountain Battle, he had served on the Outer Domain Battlefield for less than five years. Only with King Yuchi's guarantee could he temporarily leave.

"Okay, Teacher." Li Ze nodded.

After speaking, King Yuchi said nothing further and vanished directly before the manor.

Li Ze then entered the hall of the manor's castle and sat down on a sofa.

"Walli, connect to the Virtual Universe Network." Li Ze gave the command with a thought.

"Received. Connecting to the Virtual Network."

After Li Ze entered the Cosmic Army to serve on the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield, his residence in the virtual world had been transferred to the Cosmic Army Continent. Once he entered the Virtual Universe, he could appear directly on the Cosmic Army Continent.

"Walli, teleport according to the one-time transmission coordinates recorded in the Special Army Treasury exchange privileges!"

Whoosh!

Li Ze's figure vanished from where he stood.

Splash!

Space shifted.

Li Ze looked around and saw an endless starry sky before him, ethereal and silent, boundless and infinite.

Eight enormous planets floated quietly in the extremely distant starry sky.

A surge of energy stirred, and a figure formed of energy appeared beside Li Ze. It was initially blurry, but gradually became clear, its appearance somewhat resembling an elf.

"Soldier Li Ze, hello.

"I am the management intelligence of the Universe Level Special Army Treasury. The eight planets before you represent the eight categories of Secret Method Category, Weapon Armor Category, Rare Treasures Category, Technology Weapons Category, Materials Category, Tools Category, Biological Category, and Other Special Category. Each planet stores countless treasures usable by Universe level soldiers, gathered since the founding of the Cosmic Army."

"Can I take a look at each planet first?" Li Ze was curious about what the Special Army Treasury contained.

"You may. Which planet would you like to enter first?" the management intelligence asked gently.

"Let's enter the Secret Method Category first!" Li Ze instructed.

Splash!

Upon hearing the command, the management intelligence pointed toward the planet representing the Secret Method Category. That planet gradually enlarged in Li Ze's vision. No—it was Li Ze himself who was rapidly approaching the planet.

In the blink of an eye, Li Ze had arrived on the planet. Its surface was composed of countless crystals.

"This planet contains a total of 1,073,641 famous secret methods from throughout the universe, including 7,362 Soul Category methods, 17,992 Material Attack methods, and 3,144 movement techniques. Every crystal on the planet represents an introduction to one secret method. These secret methods include not only those created by Human Race experts, but also many obtained through wars against other races."

After speaking, the management intelligence waved its hand, and an electronic screen appeared.

Soul Category secret methods: Nine Radiance Record... Parasitism... Tower of Void... Landuo Secret Record...

Material Attack secret methods: Book of Revelation... Endless Saber Dao... Demon God Record... Nishen Jue...

The various subcategories of secret methods were all-encompassing and strange in every way. Whether they belonged to the Human Race or other races, many top-tier secret methods could be found in this catalog.

Although Li Ze was shocked by the sheer number of secret methods, it remained within his expectations. First, his inherited memories already contained many secret methods. Second, to Li Ze, these secret methods were merely names. Even if they were all given to him, he could not cultivate so many of them.

"Let's take a look at the Weapon Armor Category planet!" Li Ze said directly.

Splash!

Under the management intelligence's operation, the scene changed once more. Li Ze and the management intelligence flew out of the Secret Method Category planet and entered another planet.

This planet was completely different from the previous one. Countless metal display stands were spread across its surface, each displaying different weapons and battle armor.

The appearances of these weapons and battle armor varied greatly. Every weapon and suit of battle armor was valued in units of Chaos. Standard-issue divine weapons could not be found anywhere on this planet. Li Ze even saw two sets of Slo Armor on the electronic screen.

Afterward, Li Ze followed the management intelligence to explore several treasure planets, including Rare Treasures Category, Technology Weapons Category, Materials Category, and Tools Category.

The many treasures on those planets opened Li Ze's eyes, but he did not exchange for anything else.

"Enter the Biological Category planet!"
