Jiang Ming, Who Will Undoubtedly Astonish the Entire Universe!

Jiang Ming's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the Fire God Crystal in Marquis Flame Abyss's hand.

As an Immortal level strategic resource, even Jiang Ming's current authority didn't allow him to view the Fire God Crystal. However, even without seeing it, he could roughly guess its value.

Such a powerful weapon that could threaten Immortal level beings, no matter how low its quality, would still cost thousands of Chaos Units.

A slightly better one would be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Chaos Units.

Jiang Ming couldn't determine the quality of the Fire God Crystal in Marquis Flame Abyss's hand, but even the lowest grade Fire God Crystal was something he couldn't covet right now.

"Alright, take it. Cultivate well, I'm looking forward to your performance in the Universe Genius Battle."

Marquis Flame Abyss handed the Fire God Crystal to Jiang Ming, speaking with a smile.

Jiang Ming's future had surpassed her imagination. When Man Luo first introduced him, he had only mentioned a Stellar level Warrior with a Nine Layered Domain, suspected to have a high-level bloodline, and a mysterious origin.

He also mentioned Jiang Ming's astonishing growth rate and described his recent progress in law comprehension.

And asked her to take him as a student.

At that time, Marquis Flame Abyss accepted partly for Man Luo's sake, and partly out of curiosity about how such a genius like Jiang Ming could appear in a remote corner like the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

A Stellar level being comprehending a Nine Layered Domain was the kind of talent that would rank within the top thousand in the Ganwu Universe Country.

The most crucial point was Man Luo's description of Jiang Ming's progress speed, which was astonishing, changing almost daily, as if undergoing a metamorphosis every so often.

Even so, Marquis Flame Abyss hadn't intended to immediately accept him as a student. She had met him, conversed with him for a while, and assessed his law comprehension level.

Only then did she contentedly accept him as a student.

Back then, she only thought Jiang Ming had the potential to reach Immortal level, but as Jiang Ming's talent continued to reveal itself.

Marquis Flame Abyss's evaluation of Jiang Ming kept rising, from "potential Immortal" to "potential Marquis," continuously ascending.

Now, Marquis Flame Abyss could no longer determine Jiang Ming's future.

In her long life, Jiang Ming had already surpassed the Stellar level geniuses within her knowledge.

"Master, the Crimson Flame Continent currently has 6.4 million residents. Every hundred years, they need to pay one million Cosmic Coins.

Trade tax, port tax, developable mine resources, specialty products, real estate, cultivation rooms, etc...

Totaling 0.8 Chaos Units."

In a vast hall, Jiang Ming sat on a golden throne, listening to Chi Yan report to him.

"0.8 Chaos Units?"

Jiang Ming heard the figure and felt it was a bit low, but he quickly understood.

Territories like this yielded long-term profits, accumulating over tens of thousands, even millions of years.

0.8 Chaos Units per century meant 80 Chaos Units in ten thousand years, and eight thousand Chaos Units in a million years.

And considering the lifespan of Flame Abyss Star and Marquis Flame Abyss, even hundreds of millions of years would pass in the blink of an eye.

"No wonder powerful individuals, once they reach a certain stage, start managing territories. Although the speed of resource accumulation isn't fast, over a long period, the accumulated wealth becomes considerable."

Jiang Ming had never quite understood why even powerful individuals who preferred solitude would manage their own forces after reaching a certain level.

Now, seeing the financial report of the Crimson Flame Continent, he finally understood what "endless stream of wealth" meant.

A single star system could cost anywhere from one thousand to several thousand Chaos Units.

But as long as the management wasn't particularly poor, it could be recouped within a few million years.

The prerequisite, however, was good management.

"As long as one is strong enough, making money is truly easy."

Jiang Ming looked at the report in his hands and could roughly estimate how much wealth Crimson Flame Continent provided Marquis Flame Abyss every century.

However, the current Crimson Flame Continent was the result of Marquis Flame Abyss's management over countless years; its initial profits were definitely far from what they were now.

Managing a territory required massive investment.

From the territory's financial report, Jiang Ming saw not only the rolling income but also the terrifying strength of his teacher.

To manage Flame Abyss Star to this extent, there must have been considerable envy and covetousness.

"It's likely that this Flame Abyss Star contributed significantly to my teacher's enfeoffment."

However, at the same time, Jiang Ming was also somewhat puzzled.

"Is my teacher too generous?"

Jiang Ming asked Chi Yan.

Intelligent life forms were absolutely loyal once they recognized a master, so Jiang Ming had no qualm asking Chi Yan about Marquis Flame Abyss.

"The former master might have intended to go on an adventure in the universe, which is why she gifted you the Crimson Flame Continent."

A hint of sadness appeared on Chi Yan's face. Although she was absolutely loyal to Jiang Ming after recognizing him as her master, she still had feelings for Marquis Flame Abyss.

Hearing Chi Yan's answer, Jiang Ming understood.

Embarking on a cosmic adventure is a gamble, and it's common to settle your affairs beforehand.

The other disciples and clansmen under Marquis Flame Abyss couldn't handle her inheritance. Instead, Jiang Ming, her weakest student, was the most likely to successfully take over her legacy.

As for Marquis Flame Abyss's decision to go on a cosmic adventure, Jiang Ming wasn't too surprised.

Even for immortals with infinite lifespans, getting stuck at a bottleneck for hundreds of millions of years without any progress could change one's mindset.

And under the stimulation of life-or-death adventures, it was the best way for the strong to break through.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ming temporarily set the matter aside.

As an immortal with an infinite lifespan, Marquis Flame Abyss's perception of time was different from Jiang Ming's. Her "soon" could be measured in tens of thousands of years.

It was possible that Marquis Flame Abyss wouldn't even set off until Jiang Ming had grown up.

With that thought, Jiang Ming immediately got up and flew towards the underground of the tall tower.

This tower was built by Marquis Flame Abyss, who had commissioned an immortal expert skilled in forging. At the base of the tower, there was a training room that could affect Marquis Flame Abyss.

Upon entering the training room, Jiang Ming immediately felt that the surrounding Fire Origin Law had become much clearer, and he could faintly sense the flow of Space Law.

This training room was located deep within the Core of the Earth of Flame Abyss Star, making it the best place on Flame Abyss Star for comprehension.

Jiang Ming's Time Law fluctuated around him, and the Wheel of Time condensed within his body.

As a symbol of talent, the Wheel of Time had no physical form and could condense anywhere.

Previously, Jiang Ming had needed it to absorb external energy, which was why he chose to condense it externally.

Jiang Ming held the Fire God Crystal and drew its vast power into himself through the Wheel of Time.

The Fire God Crystal was condensed from the immense divine power of a Fire Immortal, and its power level was incredibly high for Jiang Ming.

If he were to direct his consciousness towards it, he would be instantly annihilated without any other possibility.

Only by drawing power through the Wheel of Time could Jiang Ming indirectly interact with it.

As the energy from the Fire God Crystal poured in, the Wheel of Time within Jiang Ming's body began to spin madly.

The flow of time accelerated: tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, three thousandfold, six thousandfold, until it reached ten thousandfold!

Under ten thousandfold time acceleration, Jiang Ming began his longest seclusion.

He would surely amaze the entire universe upon emerging from seclusion!
