Jiang Mingyue had avenged her great hatred, and Wang Cheng had achieved his goal. Naturally, neither of them planned to stay there much longer. Wang Cheng soon slipped away with Jiang Mingyue.

Luo Feng stayed behind, but now he knew the whole truth about the Wood Essence Crystals here, so he had no intention of lingering either. After taking care of a few minor matters, he soon prepared to head back as well!

Luo Feng's return to Jiangnan Base City this time was a triumphant homecoming.

He came back in an Intelligent Fighter Jet. The moment it landed, the entire Mingyue Community took notice.

Not long afterward, the Big Three of the Limit Martial Hall in Jiangnan Base City came to visit Luo Feng, since he had now been appointed Inspector of Jiangnan Base City.

But Luo Feng wasn't interested in any of that.

He had received Hu Yanbo's legacy and learned of the vastness of the universe. What interested him now was growing stronger. The position of Inspector was nothing more than an honorary title.

After taking care of some minor matters, Luo Feng went to Wang Cheng's home the next day and handed him an electronic file Babata had put together.

Wang Cheng accepted it without hesitation and smiled. "Luo Feng, I doubt Babata believes I can get you a Kinkaku Giant Beast egg, but that's all right. In six months, we'll see!"

"Brother Wang, I still don't even know what the Kinkaku Giant Beast egg is for!" Luo Feng said with a shake of his head.

"Babata will tell you when the time comes!" Wang Cheng didn't seem inclined to explain. Then, as if something had occurred to him, he said, "There are too few resources on Earth. If you want to grow stronger, sooner or later you'll have to leave."

"Leave Earth?" Luo Feng was slightly taken aback.

"Of course you'll have to leave! Just not now—you're still only at the Apprentice level," Wang Cheng said. "When you decide to leave Earth, remember to take me with you!"

"...All right!"

Luo Feng nodded. He was full of questions, but after thinking it over, he decided not to ask.

"..."

Wang Cheng smiled but said nothing.

In truth, Wang Cheng wanted to leave Earth and see the universe too. Even if he didn't go himself, he could send one of his clones. At the very least, he could register an account out there and enter the Virtual Universe.

If someone asked what interested Wang Cheng most about the world of Swallowed Star, the answer was undoubtedly the Virtual Universe!

The problem was that he couldn't get off Earth!

First, he didn't have a spaceship!

Although Wang Cheng's detector was advanced, its Intelligent System had little stored knowledge. It couldn't build a spaceship on its own, nor could it crack the spaceship belonging to that Immortal of the Mechanical Race.

Second, Wang Cheng didn't know where to go after leaving Earth.

The vastness of the universe was unimaginable.

Even if Wang Cheng got out there, without the coordinates of planets near Earth, he'd be like a headless fly. He knew there was a planet called Qiu Long Star not too far from Earth, but that was all he knew. Who knew where Qiu Long Star actually was?

That was why Wang Cheng wanted to hitch a ride with Luo Feng. That way, all he had to do was get out there; he wouldn't need to worry about a spaceship, coordinates, or anything else!

Of course, Luo Feng was only at the Apprentice level right now and couldn't leave Earth. But Wang Cheng wasn't too worried. Earth was desperately short on resources, and once Luo Feng became a Planet-level warrior, Babata would surely urge him to leave right away!

Luo Feng didn't stay long at Wang Cheng's home. After chatting with him for a while, he soon left.

Not long after Luo Feng had gone, Wang Cheng placed the materials on Ten Thousand Lines Flow that Luo Feng had brought him into the World Ring, where his clones began studying them.

Ten Thousand Lines Flow was actually a movement secret art, divided into four levels: One Line Flow, Nine Line Flow, Hundred Line Flow, and Ten Thousand Lines Flow.

After studying the secret art, Wang Cheng realized that as long as he could fly, he could practice it.

In fact, Oracle Marquis's Wind God Shadow was also a movement secret art.

Wind God Shadow had ten levels. Every day, five hundred of Wang Cheng's clones studied it. Although the lack of actual combat had significantly slowed his progress, after six months, Wang Cheng had still mastered the fourth level of Wind God Shadow.

The fourth level was already extremely impressive. According to Oracle Marquis, who had left behind the manual, anyone capable of reaching around the seventh level of Wind God Shadow would have earned the recognition of the Wind Law.

Since Wang Cheng had already mastered the fourth level of Wind God Shadow, his movement techniques as a Warrior were clearly quite advanced. So, by his estimate, if he could quickly comprehend the Space Law, he should be able to learn Ten Thousand Lines Flow in no time!

With my talent, and the help of the Universe Chaos Tablet, I should be able to comprehend the Space Law quickly, Wang Cheng thought to himself.

Then he reassigned his clones.

After breaking through to the Stellar level, he could precisely control as many as three thousand clones.

A strong cultivator's physical foundation was the most important thing, so a thousand clones had to keep absorbing Cosmic energy every day.

Next, he assigned eight hundred clones each to comprehend Eternal Void, which contained the Time Law, and Ten Thousand Lines Flow, which contained the Space Law.

Finally, he assigned the remaining four hundred clones to study manuals such as Wind God Shadow, Heavenly Thunder's Fury, and Demonic Body.

"I'm lacking actual combat experience. Otherwise, I'd comprehend the Laws much faster!" After drawing up his training plan, Wang Cheng sighed.

Training in isolation didn't make it impossible to comprehend the Laws, but it was easy to hit bottlenecks. This was especially true for someone like Wang Cheng, whose comprehension was extraordinarily fast; he kept getting stuck. Having a teacher to guide him would solve the problem, of course.

But Wang Cheng had no teacher. He could only figure things out for himself, and in times like these, actual combat could help.

Unfortunately, Wang Cheng couldn't leave Earth, and there wasn't a single opponent on the planet worth taking seriously. Even sending a clone out to fight someone wasn't a practical option!

Apprentice-level Gene Energy couldn't be released outside the body, and he couldn't even use a Domain, let alone make use of the Laws' mysteries!

The weakest clone capable of using the Laws would have to be Planet-level. But with Wang Cheng's current understanding of the Laws, even if he sent out a Planet-level first-order clone, no one on Earth would be a match for it.

So finding an opponent on Earth was out of the question.

He might as well fight himself!

"I hope I can break through to the Cosmic level soon!" Wang Cheng thought, feeling a little eager.

The last time he used Opportunity Draw, besides the "detector" and the "Universe Chaos Tablet," he had also drawn a Permanent Secret Realm called the "Outer Realm Battlefield"!

Wang Cheng knew exactly what the Outer Realm Battlefield was. It was a battleground for the Four Peak Tribes and the countless Subordinate Races under them. In the universe, when it came to honing the lives of those below the Cosmic Venerable level, the Outer Realm Battlefield was definitely one of the best places!

Unfortunately, this Permanent Secret Realm wouldn't open until Wang Cheng reached the Cosmic level. Although half a year had passed since he broke through to the Stellar level, he was only at the seventh order of the Stellar level.

Even at his current pace, Wang Cheng would need at least another six months to break through to the Cosmic level. If things went more slowly, it wouldn't be strange for it to take a year!

"Actually, this speed is already freakish. If I went any faster, I doubt my body could adapt to the rate of evolution!" Wang Cheng shook his head. A year was a year; he'd just have to wait patiently!
