Then Yang Yu waved his hand, and the Machine Race Spaceship appeared in mid-air. After taking Ai Chen inside, it turned into a silver-white Light Law and disappeared into the distance.

This place is about half a light-year away from the Cloud Temple, which is located at the westernmost point, so it is best to travel by spaceship.

In the Spaceship Hall, Yang Yu and Ai Chen sat facing each other, with fine wine laid out on the table.

"Xiao Chen, this journey alone will take more than half a year. You can use this time to cultivate properly."

Yang Yu raised his wine glass and spoke.

"Hmm~ Thanks to you, Brother Yu, for this mission." Ai Chen raised his glass and clinked it with Yang Yu's. " With the Points I earned from successfully completing this mission, I can do so many things."

Ai Chen was very happy. If she were to do Desperate Level Mission on her own, the chances of success would be extremely slim.

Along the way.

The dangers of the Cloud Palace World secretly alarmed her, but she was also grateful that she had met Yang Yu so early on, and that their relationship had progressed rapidly. Now, they were only one step away from becoming official partners.

Moreover, this step isn't far off, and Ai Chen is confident that if she brings it up herself, Yang Yu definitely won't refuse.

This was her intuition, and also her confidence.

"By the way, Xiao Chen, feel free to ask any questions you have about the Time Law. We can discuss them together and learn from each other."

Yang Yu looked at the delicate and beautiful Ai Chen and said.

"Brother Yu is too modest. You're always the one guiding me; I've never guided you before," Ai Chen said with a smile. "But I have recently encountered a small problem, it's like this..."

Next, Ai Chen recounted the problems he had encountered in his cultivation over this period of time. After listening, Yang Yu easily provided answers based on Ai Chen's cultivation progress.

This exchange took a full three days.

Three days later.

Ai Chen entered the spaceship's Rest Cabin to cultivate.

Yang Yu, meanwhile, was in the control room, repelling or killing Fierce Beast that dared to attack, while also immersing himself in cultivation.

Yang Yu's Three Bodies now have very clear roles.

Zhuliuyin Clone focused on comprehending the Time Law, occasionally studying the Liuguang Secret Technique.

The Demon Dragon Clone, meanwhile, was analyzing the essence of the Space Law and Essence of Gold Law, studying the Beast God Statue, and constantly refining its Combat Secret Technique.

The Human Original Body assisted the Demon Dragon Clone in researching the Beast God Statue.

After all, Yang Yu was already close to cultivating the Lightning Law to its limit, and he dared not cultivate it on his own. If he were to become engrossed in it without paying attention, it would be disastrous if Zhuliuyin Clone broke through to the Immortal realm.

Yang Yu also plans to cultivate both the Wind Origin Law Light Law and wind to a level recognized by the Origin Law before breaking through to immortality.

The same applies to the Space Law; one must cultivate all the Space Aspect Law to a level recognized by the Origin Law.

In this way, even if Yang Yu breaks through to the Immortal realm in the future, he will still be able to cultivate these laws.

Although this takes more time, Yang Yu is not in a hurry. After all, his Human Original Body will soon break through to the Domain Lord, at which point he will be able to possess another Clone, and his cultivation efficiency will increase again.

The same principle applies to the World Lord. At that time, with all five bodies cultivating together, given the special nature of the Soul Devour Secret Technique and the innate talent of the Possess Clone, reaching a realm acknowledged by Ten Origin Laws will not be difficult.

Furthermore, Yang Yu was also eager to know what kind of Secret Technique would appear in the Inheritance Palace after he became Domain Lord.

"Soon, I'll break through to the Domain Lord as soon as I get back from this mission!"

Yang Yu's eyes narrowed.

Our time at the Universe Level is almost up.

The Cultivation Mission I've completed have largely met my expectations. Now, it's time to persevere and strive for even greater challenges, constantly moving forward through those challenges!

An overly comfortable environment is not conducive to hard work.

This is also how Yang Yu has felt recently.

The assassination attempt he encountered some time ago forced Yang Yu to fight with all his might, which even slightly improved his cultivation efficiency.

This made Yang Yu crave even more passionate battles and an exciting life!

Although it's very comfortable and peaceful to be with Ai Chen.

But if we want to have the strength to protect everything, we can't relax yet.

In Yang Yu's vision.

Only after cultivating to the point where one is not afraid of anyone in the Primal Universe can one relax even slightly.

While thinking about these things, Yang Yu looked at the large screen in the spaceship's control room. If any Fierce Beast approached, he would either use the spaceship's onboard weapons to kill them or personally unleash Soul Attack.

This E9 Grade peak-level Machine Race Spaceship truly boasts exceptional performance in all aspects. Its standard-equipped weapons can easily handle Domain Lord Level Fierce Beast, and it also serves as a strong deterrent against World Lord Level Fierce Beast.

It's great for traveling around the Cloud Palace World.

Just as Yang Yu and Ai Chen were on their way...

Zhuliuyin Clone had already arrived at the place in the Cloud Palace World where the World Lord Level Fierce Beast gathered and started having a 'buffet'.

As the most unique place in the Shenshi Secret Realm, the Cloud Palace World also possesses extremely abundant Origin Energy.

At the same time, the Cosmic Origin Law operate very clearly here.

This has led to the birth of countless powerful Fierce Beast here.

During this period, Zhuliuyin Clone has absorbed hundreds of World Lord Level True Spirit.

At this rate, by the end of three years, Zhuliuyin Clone will have absorbed approximately ten thousand World Lord Level True Spirit.

But even tens of thousands of them would be a drop in the ocean for Zhuliuyin Clone.

It takes approximately 9 million more World Lord Level True Spirit to raise one's soul and comprehension to their limit.

Such a massive demand for True Spirit meant that even though the Cloud Palace World was vast and contained many World Lord Level beings, it couldn't withstand the consumption by Zhuliuyin Clone.

Not to mention that the Demon Dragon Clone within Yang Yu hasn't even joined the hunt yet.

These two 'gluttons' could probably devour World Lord in the Cloud Palace World and still not be satisfied.

Even Yang Yu found it somewhat terrifying to sense the need of his two Clones for his Soul True Spirit.

"Fortunately, there are quite a few Alien Race in the Primal Universe."

Yang Yu could only think this way. Only those massive numbers of powerful Alien Race could satisfy the terrifying demand that Clone had for True Spirit.

If the Primal Universe had been unified by the Human Race long ago, things would have been quite difficult. Yang Yu didn't want to harm any of his own kind.

With these thoughts in mind, Yang Yu continued to have Zhuliuyin Clone hunt everywhere, while also exploring the Cloud Palace World and collecting some rare and precious materials.

Let's see if we can get lucky and find some great treasure.

Time passed.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

When Ai Chen finished his cultivation and arrived at the spaceship control room.

Yang Yu opened the panoramic virtual reality.

Instantly.

In the distance ahead, a magnificent and colossal temple appeared, suspended in the Void and shrouded in a light mist.

The entire temple is about 30 million kilometers high and more than 3 million kilometers long and wide. It is divided into eleven levels and stands in the western part of the Cloud Palace World.

"We'll reach the temple area in another day. How's your cultivation going, Xiao Chen?"

Yang Yu looked at Ai Chen and asked.

"The cultivation effect is quite good. The <Shi Lan> Secret Technique is indeed very suitable for me. It's just that it's been hard on you, Brother Yu, keeping watch all the time."

Ai Chen said a little shyly.

She had originally wanted to take turns piloting the spaceship with Yang Yu, but Yang Yu declined, citing her insufficient strength and the importance of cultivation.

After all, they had encountered a stronger World Lord Level Fierce Beast, and the ship's own weapons were not enough to deal with it.

But Yang Yu is different.

Whether it's the Original Body or the Demon Dragon Clone, it can be easily dealt with.

If Ai Chen were on duty, and such Fierce Beast attacked, he would have to Yang Yu again, which would be troublesome and would also prevent either of them from cultivating properly.

The intelligent Ai Chen thought of all this and decided not to refuse anymore, choosing instead to focus on her cultivation.

After all, only by becoming stronger can I help Yang Yu in the future.

"It's good that it works. We're about to enter the temple. Xiao Chen, you'd better be prepared; danger lurks everywhere there," Yang Yu said.

"Yeah! Don't worry, Brother Yu, I've also cultivated a Metal Lifeform. It's just that resources are limited, so it's currently only at the Domain Lord Level Nine Limit. But with the battle suit on its body, the defensive effect is decent."

Ai Chen said confidently.

"A mere Domain Lord Level Nine Metal Lifeform might suffice for a typical mission, but this is the Cloud Palace World, one of the most dangerous places. Such defenses are hardly enough."

Yang Yu said with concern.

"Okay, Xiao Chen, you stay in my World Ring while we go in. I'll clear the way first. I'll let you out when we get to a safe place."

"I possess a ninth-tier World Lord Level Moyun Vine, and you know my Law Realm, so breaking into this temple shouldn't be a problem."

Seeing Yang Yu's thoughtfulness and consideration for him, Ai Chen was deeply moved. He initially wanted to refuse, but instead chose to face the danger with Yang Yu and fight side by side.

But remembering the dangers of the 'Cloud Temple' mentioned in the mission description, Ai Chen wisely chose to listen to Yang Yu.

Sometimes, not causing trouble is also a contribution.

"Call out!"

The spaceship continued traveling at near the speed of Light Speed for most of the day.

Ai Chen entered the World Ring that Yang Yu always carried.

Yang Yu then stored the spaceship and ventured alone into the perilous temple grounds.

"Such a strong fluctuation in the Time Law!"

As soon as he left the spaceship, Yang Yu used his Mental Force to scan his surroundings and immediately sensed unusually strong fluctuations in the Time Law.

Cultivating oneself in such an environment.

Even ordinary people with a little talent can sense the Time Law.

Therefore, the Fierce Beast living within hundreds of millions of miles around the temple are all quite powerful, with the weakest being at the Domain Lord Level.

World Lord Level Fierce Beast are everywhere.

"Whoosh!"

Transforming into Thunder, Yang Yu flew at incredible speed through the air, heading towards the temple located in the Void.

During Yang Yu's flight, he was also attacked by countless Fierce Beasts.

To save time and travel quickly, Yang Yu directly unleashed a wide-range Soul Attack from the Demon Dragon Clone within his special inner space.

Instantly.

Thousands of Domain Lord Level Fierce Beast that had been attacking perished instantly.

Subsequently, the aura emanating from Yang Yu also made the other eager World Lord Level Fierce Beast wary, and they did not choose to rush forward and die rashly.

With the Fierce Beast gone, Yang Yu's travel speed increased dramatically once again.

After a short while, we arrived at the front of the temple.

"The Cloud Temple"

Yang Yu used his Mental Force to cover the surroundings.

Instantly, the scene within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers appeared in his mind. "It is suspected to be a temple left behind by Ancient Expert. The entire temple is divided into eleven levels, and each level is occupied by a massive number of Fierce Beast."

"If you're lucky, you might encounter a suitable opportunity in a temple on a certain level, but you'll need to kill all the Fierce Beast that inhabit that level before you can enjoy the opportunity in peace!"

Recalling the information about the temple from Qi Shui Qiong's memories, Yang Yu knew very well that the Cloud Temple did indeed contain opportunities.

Similarly.

The other two dangerous places also offer opportunities, and if one passes the test, the opportunities gained may even be better.

However, Qi Shui Qiong's strength was not very well-known, and he only knew the general outline.

Through Qi Shui Qiong's memories, Yang Yu also learned that this temple had existed for an extremely long time, even before humans occupied the area.

When humans entered this temple, there were no longer any beings stronger than immortals.

Some of them are Fierce Beast born locally.

Because the laws of perception are clearer within the temple, only powerful Fierce Beast can occupy the best positions for cultivation.

However, certain conditions must be met in order to unlock this opportunity.

Over the years, based on observations at the Great Axe Coliseum, the conditions for unlocking opportunities have little to do with one's own strength, but rather with luck.

Certainly.

To slay all the Fierce Beast on each level, one would need immense strength.

However, those with real power and connections can, like Ai Chen, have a strong person like Yang Yu to help clear obstacles and try their luck to see if they can unlock an opportunity.

However, as the Human Race's system for cultivating geniuses gradually improved, and the various Super Force gained deeper control over the opportunities in the Cloud Palace World, the situation of forcibly opening opportunities through 'small tricks' has greatly decreased.

Now...

Only core geniuses of various factions, or those with special permission, are allowed to enter.

This is somewhat similar to the 'Magic Sound General' inheritance in the Demon Mountain Mission.

It's difficult for ordinary Core Member of the Universe Level to get involved, unless they have special opportunities like Luo Feng, or special Clone like the Mosha Clan, and their own talents are also strong enough.

Only then would it be possible to forcibly seize an opportunity with Universe Level status.

But the possibility of that is extremely small.

So small as to be almost negligible.

However, the 'Cloud Temple' is not quite the same as the Magic Mountain.

Opportunities here are more random.

It depends more on luck.

So Yang Yu was just here to give it a try; it would be great if it worked, but he could accept it if it didn't.

"Whoosh!"

After confirming that there were indeed no immortal beings in the vicinity, Yang Yu stepped onto the first floor of the temple.

As expected.

What came into view was an endless pale golden mist, and strange, Fierce Beast that could be seen everywhere.

These Fierce Beast beasts resemble zebras on Earth, but are much larger.

The smallest are at least a kilometer long, while the longest is ten thousand meters.

These Zebra Fierce Beast were either running, resting, or busy reproducing.

At first glance.

The first level of the temple covers an area of nearly ten trillion square kilometers, almost boundless.

The detectors indicate that this layer is home to approximately ten thousand World Lord Level Zebra Fierce Beast and nearly ten million Domain Lord Level Zebra Fierce Beast.

With such a large number of Zebra Fierce Beast, ordinary Universe Level members would be in danger even if they approached, let alone come here!

Even an ordinary immortal would face considerable danger when surrounded by so many World Lord Level Fierce Beasts.

However, none of this mattered to Yang Yu; he even felt there could be more Zebra Fierce Beast here!

This way, the Demon Dragon Clone can have a proper meal.
