Taking a Disciple

This is a private dimension, belonging solely to the Lord Gan Wu.

"Shua!"

Space rippled, and King Gan Yang emerged with Ji Ning's clone.

The environment was largely the same as the Gan Wu Secret Realm; the place where Lord Gan Wu resided was also a large floating island.

Soon, the two arrived before a grand hall. The hall was incredibly spacious, with minimal ornamentation, save for a massive throne tens of meters wide at the head.

Seated upon it was a giant bearing some resemblance to King Gan Yang. Clad in bright yellow armor, he exuded an aura of eternal immortality just by being there.

Ji Ning's clone looked on, his gaze feeling like a direct confrontation with the Space Origin Law. The space around Lord Gan Wu seemed layered and indistinct, blurring his features.

Recalling the original description of Lord Gan Wu, Ji Ning's clone felt a pang of emotion. Lord Gan Wu was a prime example of misfortune; his strength was considerable, but his luck was abysmal.

He had perished several times, losing all his treasures and accumulating significant debt to friends and his race. He could only hide within Human Territory, licking his wounds in silence.

"Greetings, Ancestor. Ji Ning has been brought here," King Gan Yang said respectfully to Lord Gan Wu, standing below the throne.

At the sound of his voice, Lord Gan Wu opened his eyes, which seemed to contain infinite space.

"Ji Ning, reaching the 15th floor of my Gan Wu Tower on your first attempt is quite impressive," his majestic voice boomed through the hall.

"Greetings, Lord. I merely performed to the best of my ability," Ji Ning's clone stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Lord Gan Wu was a figure of immense stature. Though merely a High-level Void Lord and living in considerable hardship, his lifespan stretched back to the early days of the Human Race, making him one of the oldest Void Lords.

Despite Ji Ning's clone's humble words, his calm demeanor and the confidence in his eyes showed that he was not overly proud of his achievement.

Lord Gan Wu instantly surmised that Ji Ning's clone possessed hidden trump cards. This was common in the universe; everyone kept something in reserve. However, it also piqued Lord Gan Wu's interest.

As a Lord who had existed for an immeasurable time, he had seen countless geniuses, many more outstanding than Ji Ning's clone. They were all arrogant, believing themselves superior to all others. Yet, in the past, very few had managed to grow into King-Seals.

Only geniuses who, despite their exceptional talent, maintained a sense of awe towards the universe could truly mature.

Moreover, in recent millennia, the geniuses cultivated by the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom had been rather disappointing, to say the least. This was a blow to Lord Gan Wu, who was currently holed up in Human Territory, hoping to nurture more peerless geniuses and earn rewards from the race.

Upon reviewing internal records and learning that Ji Ning's clone had not been cultivating for long, Lord Gan Wu regarded him with newfound respect, leading King Gan Yang to bring him for a personal audience.

"With your talent, you could undoubtedly stand out in the next Cosmic Peak Power Battle and join the Virtual Universe Company. However, the next one is still thousands of years away, and I doubt you wish to wait that long!"

"How about this: are you willing to become my registered disciple? I watched your trial videos. While you've had some fortunate encounters and received inheritances, you lack guidance. Your comprehension of laws is scattered. Otherwise, with your grasp of laws, passing the 15th floor would have been more than enough." Lord Gan Wu had initially intended to recommend Ji Ning's clone directly for the Virtual Universe Company's assessment, but after a brief conversation, he changed his mind.

Lord Gan Wu planned to take Ji Ning's clone as a disciple first, nurture him for a period, and then directly recommend him for the Virtual Universe Company's core assessment, making him a member of the Primeval Secret Realm.

There was no alternative. The impoverished Lord Gan Wu could only offer support in terms of law comprehension and secret techniques. Therefore, Ji Ning's clone still needed to go to the Virtual Universe Company, where the resources he needed could be found.

"Greetings, Master!" Ji Ning's clone readily agreed, naturally kneeling and kowtowing.

It would be foolish not to accept such an offer. No matter how poor, Lord Gan Wu was still a High-level Void Lord, more than capable of guiding a mere Universe Level cultivator.

"Haha, rise!" Seeing Ji Ning's clone's sensible response, Lord Gan Wu was quite pleased.

"Where are you currently located? I'll have someone escort you to the Gan Wu Secret Realm."

Ji Ning's clone informed Lord Gan Wu of his location, and Lord Gan Wu then looked towards King Gan Yang.

"Gan Yang, arrange for someone to go. Ensure his safety."

"This journey will take some time. I observed that your comprehension of laws is rather disorganized and lacks system. While in the virtual universe, you can visit my collection room. I will recommend some books that analyze laws. You must read them carefully; they will help you reorganize your comprehension of laws and understand their essence, which will allow you to go further in the future."

"As for other matters, we'll discuss them when you reach the Gan Wu Secret Realm!" With that, Lord Gan Wu waved his hand. After bowing, the two slowly withdrew from the hall.

"Junior Brother Ji Ning, for the time being, wait for my people on Qiu Long Star. I've already dispatched them, and they should arrive soon. Be sure to study the books the Lord assigned you diligently. These are things you couldn't obtain with immense wealth outside; even for core members of the Virtual Universe Company, the jifen required would be astronomical," King Gan Yang instructed him after they left the hall.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I will remain on Qiu Long Star during this time and won't wander off!"

Seeing Ji Ning's clone's affirmative reply, King Gan Yang felt relieved and nodded slightly. Then, both logged off.

"The plan is proceeding smoothly." Bai Yue smiled as he stayed in the manor he had purchased on Qiu Long Star.

Although he was unexpectedly taken in as a disciple by Lord Gan Wu, the plan had been executed flawlessly, securing the knowledge and backing he desired.

Lord Gan Wu might be heavily indebted and unable to provide excellent resources, but he was undoubtedly a reliable backer.

With a backer, he could continuously produce high-end materials and weapons by analyzing creations, and even powerful treasures and supreme treasures in the future!

What resources would he lack then? With these worries gone, at least his rear was secure for the early stages. If he could secure first place in the Cosmic Peak Power Battle in a few years and join the Primeval Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, his background would be even more solid, and his growth path would be much smoother.

As one of the oldest Void Lords, Lord Gan Wu's collection room contained countless secret scriptures. Although his focus should be on the books Lord Gan Wu had given him, there were no restrictions on him browsing other texts.

During this waiting period, all three of Bai Yue's clones dedicated almost all their mental energy to these books.

Most of the laws Bai Yue currently comprehended were fragmented laws learned through his analysis ability while dissecting items. Therefore, what Lord Gan Wu said directly addressed his current situation.

Although his own comprehension had gradually deepened over time, it hadn't changed the fact that it was unorganized.

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

Combined with his understanding and cultivation of the Kinkaku Giant Beast's inherited secret technique, Absolute Space, and the continuous accumulation of inspiration, he was able to pass the 14th floor of the Gan Wu Tower.
