Taking a Disciple

This was a separate plane, belonging exclusively to Lord Gan Wu.

"Whoosh!"

Space rippled, and King Gan Yang emerged from it with the Ji Ning Clone.

The environment was largely the same as that of the Gan Wu Secret Realm. Lord Gan Wu's residence was likewise situated atop a massive Floating Island.

The two quickly arrived before a great hall. Its interior was incomparably vast and sparsely decorated, with only a throne dozens of meters wide at the head of the hall.

Seated upon it was a giant somewhat similar in appearance to King Gan Yang, clad in bright yellow armor. Simply sitting there, he radiated an eternal, indestructible aura.

The Ji Ning Clone looked over. Gazing at Lord Gan Wu was like looking directly at the Space Origin Law itself; layers upon layers of space surrounded him, blurring even the features that could be seen.

Recalling the original description of Lord Gan Wu, he felt somewhat emotional. Lord Gan Wu could be considered a prime example of someone plagued by misfortune. He was not weak, but his luck had simply been too terrible.

After falling several times, he had not only lost all his supreme treasures, but also owed his friends and the Human Race enormous amounts of Supreme Treasure Points. He could only hide within Human Territory and silently lick his wounds.

"Greetings, Clan Ancestor. Ji Ning has been brought here," King Gan Yang said respectfully to Lord Gan Wu as they reached the foot of the throne.

Hearing his voice, Lord Gan Wu opened eyes that seemed to contain boundless space.

"Ji Ning, reaching the fifteenth level on your first attempt at the Gan Wu Tower is quite impressive." His magnificent voice echoed through the hall.

"Greetings, Lord Gan Wu. This junior merely displayed the strength he should have," the Ji Ning Clone said as he stepped forward and respectfully bowed.

What kind of figure was Lord Gan Wu? Though he was only a High-level Void Lord and lived in considerable straits, the years he had experienced stretched back to the early days of the Human Race. He was one of the most ancient Universe Venerates!

Although the Ji Ning Clone's words were humble, the calm revealed in his tone and eyes showed that this little fellow was not smug or arrogant over his accomplishment.

Lord Gan Wu instantly guessed that the Ji Ning Clone still had hidden trump cards. That was common in the universe; everyone knew to hold something back. Yet it also stirred a trace of interest in him.

As an incomparably ancient lord of a Universe Kingdom, he had seen countless geniuses, including many more outstanding than the Ji Ning Clone. Every one of them had been arrogantly defiant, believing heaven came first, earth second, and they themselves third. Yet over all that time, very few had managed to grow into King-ranked experts.

Only geniuses who retained reverence for the universe despite their exceptional talent could truly grow.

Moreover, the geniuses nurtured by the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom over the past several thousand eras had been truly dreadful, too miserable to behold. For Lord Gan Wu, who was now confined within the Human Race and hoped to cultivate more peerless geniuses in exchange for rewards from the race, this was undeniably a blow.

After reviewing the internal records and learning that the Ji Ning Clone had not cultivated for long, Lord Gan Wu regarded him more highly and had King Gan Yang bring him here for a personal audience.

"With your talent, you could absolutely stand out in the next Cosmic Peak Power Battle and then join the Virtual Universe Company. However, the next event will not be held for several thousand years. I presume you do not intend to wait that long!"

"How about this? Would you be willing to become my registered disciple? I watched your tower-challenging footage. Though you encountered some opportunities and obtained certain inheritances, no one has guided you. Your comprehension of the laws is therefore disorderly and unsystematic. Otherwise, with your understanding of the laws, passing the fifteenth level would have been effortless." Lord Gan Wu had initially intended to directly recommend the Ji Ning Clone for the Virtual Universe Company's assessment, but after speaking with him for a while, he changed his mind.

Lord Gan Wu planned to first accept the Ji Ning Clone as a disciple and nurture him for some time, then directly recommend him for the Virtual Universe Company's most core assessment, allowing him to become a member of the Primeval Secret Realm.

There was no helping it. Impoverished as Lord Gan Wu was, he could only offer support in law comprehension and secret techniques. The Ji Ning Clone would still need to go to the Virtual Universe Company, where the resources to support him could be found.

"Greetings, Master!" The Ji Ning Clone naturally had no objections. He knelt down and kowtowed in salute without hesitation.

Anyone who refused to cling to such a powerful thigh was an idiot. No matter how poor Lord Gan Wu was, he remained a High-level Void Lord. Guiding a mere Universe Level cultivator like him would naturally be more than enough.

"Haha, rise!" Lord Gan Wu was quite pleased to see how sensible the Ji Ning Clone was.

"Where are you now? I will send someone to bring you to the Gan Wu Secret Realm."

The Ji Ning Clone told Lord Gan Wu his location, and Lord Gan Wu immediately turned his gaze toward King Gan Yang.

"Gan Yang, make the arrangements and send someone there. His safety must be guaranteed."

"The journey there and back will take some time. I find your law comprehension overly scattered and lacking a proper system. In the Virtual Universe, you may visit my collection chamber. I will recommend some books analyzing the laws for you. Study them carefully. They will help you reorganize your understanding of the laws and grasp their essence. Only then will you be able to go farther in the future."

"As for everything else, we will discuss it after you reach the Gan Wu Secret Realm." With that, Lord Gan Wu waved his hand. After offering their salutes, the two slowly withdrew from the hall.

"Junior Brother Ji Ning, stay on Qiu Long Star and wait for my people during this time. I have already sent someone out, and they should arrive soon. You must diligently study all the books the Lord Gan Wu has given you. You could spend immeasurable wealth outside and still be unable to buy such things. Even Core Members of the Virtual Universe Company would have to spend an astronomical number of points to purchase them." After leaving the hall, King Gan Yang instructed him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I will remain on Qiu Long Star during this time and will not wander around!"

Seeing the Ji Ning Clone's firm reply, King Gan Yang relaxed and nodded slightly. Soon afterward, both of them logged off in turn.

"The plan went smoothly." Bai Yue, who was staying in the automatically purchased manor on Qiu Long Star, revealed a smile.

Although Lord Gan Wu had unexpectedly accepted him as a disciple, the plan had been carried out perfectly. He had gained the knowledge and backing he wanted.

Lord Gan Wu might be burdened with debt and unable to provide excellent resources, but he was absolutely reliable backing.

As long as he had backing, he could continuously sell high-end materials and weapons through analyzing Creation. Later on, even heavy treasures and supreme treasures would not be impossible!

What resources would he lack then? With those concerns out of the way, he finally had stable support in the early stages. As long as he won first place in the Cosmic Peak Genius Battle a few years later and entered the Virtual Universe Company's Primeval Secret Realm, his background would become even more solid, and his path of growth would be much smoother.

As one of the most ancient Universe Venerates, Lord Gan Wu's collection chamber contained countless secret manuals. Although Bai Yue needed to focus on the books Lord Gan Wu had given him, he was not restricted from browsing other books.

During this waiting period, nearly all the attention of the three major clones was devoted to these books.

Most of the laws Bai Yue currently understood were fragmented laws comprehended while analyzing items through his analysis ability. Thus, what Lord Gan Wu had said directly addressed his present condition.

Although his own comprehension had gradually become more complete over this period, it had not changed the fact that it lacked a coherent system.

Fortunately, by analyzing the Kinkaku Giant Beast, his Metal Element and Space Origin Law had become relatively more complete and systematic.

Combined with his cultivation and comprehension of the Kinkaku Giant Beast's inherited secret techniques, such as Absolute Space, his insights had steadily accumulated, allowing him to pass the fourteenth level of the Gan Wu Tower.
