On the island at the very center of this lake lies the Basic Inheritance of the Mang River Army.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Yang Yu and Luo Feng landed quickly.

On the island stood rows of stone pillars, each topped with a Crystal Ball.

These Crystal Ball are the Basic Inheritance that can be learned for free after joining Special Legion like the Mang River Army.

For ordinary legions, such good fortune doesn't exist; they need to complete tasks one by one and slowly accumulate Military Merits before they can redeem it.

"Xiao Feng, let's hurry up and learn what we need to learn before heading back," Yang Yu said, looking at the hundreds of stone pillars.

"Alright, Brother Yu, let's take a look at the Basic Inheritance of this Special Legion in the Jin Zhi World."

After saying that, Yang Yu and Luo Feng spread their divine power, directly penetrating into all the Crystal Ball.

Instantly.

A flood of information is coming in.

This information is very conflicting.

It covers everything from Artifact Refining and combat to the Divine Power Burning and cultivation guidance to the True God Level.

However, these inheritance levels are only useful at the Universe Master stage; later levels require spending Military Merits to exchange for.

After quickly memorizing these details, Yang Yu and Luo Feng returned to their respective islands and began their first seclusion in the Jin Zhi World.

Within the Primal Universe.

After the Chaos City Lord and the Great Axe learned more about the Jin Zhi World, they also began to consider exploring the Jin Zhi World again.

Humanity has now produced four True God, and there are even more powerful ones like Yang Yu and Luo Feng.

As long as there are at least two True God presiding over the clan, it will be fine.

Others can then venture out, provided they are as safe as possible.

After all, even with a good lineage, one cannot achieve much simply by cultivating in seclusion.

To become a true strong person, one still needs to undergo real trials and tribulations.

In the Primal Universe and Universe Ocean of today, humanity is already the undisputed number one power.

Aside from those naturally dangerous places, there are very few trials to be endured.

But now the Jin Zhi World has appeared, where Universe Master roam freely, True God are everywhere, and even Void True God are numerous.

Such a place is naturally ideal for honing one's skills.

Great Axe, Chaos, and others also yearn to Transcendence of Reincarnation and create Holy Land Universe!

But it's still early.

Human Race do not need to gamble.

Holding two top-tier inheritances and possessing almost the entire territory of the Primal Universe, it is destined that Universe Master will be born continuously, and the number of True God will gradually increase.

Therefore, the Chaos City Lord and the others planned to wait until Yang Yu and Luo Feng had a complete understanding of the situation in the Jin Zhi World before they could confidently enter.

After all, judging from the information received by other forces in the Universe Ocean...

Nearly half of the Universe Master who entered the Jin Zhi World have already perished!

Almost all of them died in the first round of military selection.

The rest all successfully joined the army.

However, they all joined ordinary armies, and they didn't get any benefits when they first joined. They had to go through many missions and slowly accumulate Military Merits before they could exchange them for good things.

Those few Universe Supreme Being are still alive and well, none of them have perished.

In the Jin Zhi World.

Six thousand years have passed in a short time.

That day.

Yang Yu and Luo Feng are exchanging and verifying their insights gained over the years.

"Whoosh!"

A dark red figure landed outside Yang Yu's small island.

"Sergeant Thunder and Galaxy, I am here on the captain's orders to inform you to assemble in front of the captain's island in three days. The routine mission that takes place once every ten thousand years is about to begin."

"OK."

Yang Yu's voice traveled through the island's protective array.

Upon receiving the reply, the sergeant immediately returned and began to notify the other sergeants of the Fifth Squad of the First Brigade.

Three days later.

Outside the small island where Captain Black Rock is located.

At this point, 26 soldiers had gathered.

"Very good, everyone is here, so I will announce the mission details." Captain Black Rock, who was also wearing Dark Red Battle Armor, said to everyone.

Yang Yu and Luo Feng were also in the crowd.

"This mission isn't too difficult. Our Mang River Army First Brigade only needs to assist the 'Xinglan' tribe in attacking the 'Great Dream Marsh' Exotic Beast forces. Our Fifth Battalion's mission is for each soldier to kill at least one thousand Great Dream Marsh Exotic Beast Lord of Law."

"After killing the Exotic Beast Lord of Law of the Great Dream Marsh, remember to keep their Supreme Treasure or Supreme Treasure fragments. These are important proof of your Military Merits later. This mission will last for about a thousand years. The mission will be settled after the two sides have completely determined the victor. Any soldier who fails to complete the mission will be executed!"

Captain Black Rock Yan said coldly, "You are all soldiers of the Mang River Army. This time, you only need to kill one thousand Exotic Beast Lord of Law the same level to complete the mission. It shouldn't be too difficult for you. Here is more specific information about the mission."

As Black Rock spoke, he waved his hand and released 26 Crystal Ball.

Yang Yu and Luo Feng took the document, scanned it with their senses, and immediately knew the area where the Xinglan Tribe and the Great Dream Marsh were fighting, as well as all the information about this mission.

"Alright, everyone get ready and we can set off."

After finishing his speech, Black Rock led ten soldiers away from the island and flew towards the battleground.

They watched as Black Rock and his group walked away without turning back.

At this moment, a burly soldier walked over. "The captain and his men are always like this. They always do the missions with their own group and don't trust us at all. Thunder and Galaxy, you should join our team. Killing a thousand Exotic Beast Lord of Law by yourself isn't difficult, but more people always mean more power."

Yang Yu knew that this soldier was named 'Tie Shan' and was leading another group of soldiers from the Fifth Squad.

Over the years, both groups of soldiers had tried to win over Yang Yu and Luo Feng.

However, both Yang Yu and Luo Feng refused.

The team leader and his group were clearly stronger, and they didn't seem to care whether Yang Yu and Luo Feng joined them or not.

Although Tie Shan and his group had slightly more people, their overall strength was somewhat lacking, and they were eager to recruit Yang Yu and Luo Feng.

"Thanks, Galaxy and I will go carry out the mission."

After saying that, Yang Yu led Luo Feng and flew towards the Xinglan Tribe.

As Tie Shan watched Yang Yu and his companion disappear into the horizon, his gaze gradually darkened.

"Brother Tie Shan, these two recruits are really arrogant. When are we going to teach them a lesson?" a soldier next to Tie Shan said coldly.

"Just wait, there will be plenty of opportunities later." After saying that, Tie Shan led the remaining members of the Fifth Squad to the battlefield.

After leaving the East Army Barracks, Yang Yu took out the transformed Pure White Tomb Ship and continued his journey.

This place is quite far from the area where the Xinglan Tribe and the Great Dream Marsh Exotic Beast forces are fighting.

It is estimated that the journey will take one or two months.

Inside the Tomb Ship.

"Brother Yu, it seems like things aren't so harmonious inside the Mang River Armor," Luo Feng remarked.

In the years since, besides cultivating his skills, he has also come into contact with other soldiers and has come to know that the military is not so harmonious, and that it is common for soldiers to set traps for each other, fight and steal treasures.

Over time, the Fifth Squad split into two groups.

Although Captain Black Rock is the strongest, the other soldiers led by Tie Shan are not weak either.

"The ultimate goal of this Jin Zhi World army is to select and cultivate enough strong individuals and hone enough dazzling geniuses. Naturally, it will be very brutal internally. However, we will not get involved. We will just focus on our cultivation after completing our missions."

Yang Yu said nonchalantly.

If the Title-Granting Mission didn't have to wait until the end of this era to begin, Yang Yu wouldn't even bother leaving the island to do it.

"Yes, becoming stronger through cultivation is the most important thing!" Luo Feng agreed.

After that, Yang Yu and the other person stopped talking and began to cultivate quietly.

However, the journey was not peaceful, as they were frequently harassed by Exotic Beast.

Seeing this, Yang Yu naturally wouldn't tolerate it. With just a slight move, his Ling Lie blade light easily killed these Exotic Beasts at the level of Universe Master.

Seeing that they were not to be trifled with, the other Exotic Beast stopped coming forward to risk their lives.

Just after Yang Yu casually killed dozens of waves of Exotic Beast, they finally arrived at the main battlefield where the Xinglan Tribe and Great Dream Marsh were fighting.

At this moment, this battlefield was being sealed off by the Void True God on both sides using the 'One Thought Void' Space Blockade.

Anyone who enters, regardless of who they are, can only come out after the war ends.

Neither Yang Yu nor Luo Feng cared about this.

With their current strength, they could kill not only the Lord of Law of the Exotic Beast faction, but even the True God of the Exotic Beast.

However, in order to keep a low profile, Yang Yu and Luo Feng did not engage in large-scale killing.

He would only occasionally make a move on the vast battlefield, testing his Secret Technique martial arts techniques while also killing Exotic Beast along the way.

Even so.

In less than a hundred years.

Yang Yu and Luo Feng each killed over a thousand Lord of Law the Great Dream Marsh's Exotic Beast faction, collecting enough Supreme Treasure Tokens.

The rest of the time.

Yang Yu and Luo Feng then found a place far from the center of the battlefield to continue their secluded cultivation, waiting for the war to end.

More than 800 years later.

With the defeat of the Exotic Beast forces of the Great Dream Marsh.

This marked the end of the war, which was led by the military.

Upon returning to the military camp, Yang Yu and Luo Feng handed over enough spoils of war, thus completing this routine mission.

As is customary, the next routine mission will be at least ten thousand years from now.

So Yang Yu and Luo Feng returned to the island and continued their secluded cultivation.

On the battlefield, Yang Yu and Luo Feng not only tested some Secret Technique, but also collected a lot of Divine Body materials from tribal warriors and Exotic Beast forces, as well as unique materials native to the Jin Zhi World, in order to use them to assist in the research of Divine Power Path.

Time passed.

More than a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Yang Yu had been in seclusion, opened his eyes that day.

"The Origin Law are truly vast and unfathomable. Even with the ten-thousand-fold Time Flow Rate within the Inheritance Space and the hundreds of thousands of times Time Acceleration Black Stripe Stone Pillar, the Fusion Progress of the laws of time, Leidian, wind, Light Law has remained at just over ten percent. The Fusion Progress of the Origin Law on one side of the space is also less than ten percent."

The laws of nature become increasingly vast and profound as one progresses through them.

Even though Yang Yu's comprehension has reached an inconceivable level, with billions of inspirations generated every second during the process of Fusion Law, his Thinking Speed has also reached an unbelievable level.

However, faced with the vast world of laws, one can only improve slowly through painstaking effort.

Fortunately, he rarely encounters bottlenecks, so Yang Yu only needs to proceed with the integration step by step.

It will inevitably take a lot of time.

"Whoosh~"

After getting up, Yang Yu looked around.

For over a thousand years, apart from a few exchanges and sparring sessions with Luo Feng, Yang Yu had no contact with anyone else.

As for the members of the Fifth Squad, since they refused Tie Shan's group last time, they haven't come to visit Yang Yu, and Yang Yu naturally doesn't bother with them.

"What truly attracts me to this Jin Zhi World are the precious Will Secret Technique, the powerful Mechanical Flow Supreme Treasure, and the guidance on Divine Power Path. The ordinary inheritances and Mechanical Flow Supreme Treasure are of little value."

Yang Yu thought to himself as he flew away.

"The only way to obtain these in the Jin Zhi World is to apply for the legendary Title Mission. You'll naturally acquire them during the quest process."

This time, Yang Yu plans to carry out this Title Mission alone.

When Yang Yu sparred with Luo Feng before, he asked Luo Feng if he wanted to try out the Title Mission.

However, Luo Feng refused.

The reason, of course, is that the cultivation time is not long enough and the accumulation is not deep enough, so going there would probably be of little use.

Over the years, I have also learned a lot of information about Luo Feng in Jin Zhi World.

He knew that anyone who dared to apply for Title Mission possessed at least one Mechanical Flow Treasure, and each of them was no weaker than him.

Therefore, Luo Feng plans to cultivate for a longer period of time, and after accumulating enough experience and exchanging for suitable Mechanical Flow Treasure, he will apply for this Title Mission.

Yang Yu was not surprised by this.

After all, Luo Feng had only recently received the Duan Donghe Inheritance. Although he had Three Clones, even with his Original Body and all his Clone, his cultivation efficiency was far inferior to Yang Yu's Yuanling Clone, which had undergone the transformation through the Soul Devour Secret Technique. Not to mention that Yang Yu had other Clone as well.

Moreover, Luo Feng's current strength still has a lot of room for improvement.

Naturally, there's no rush to participate in the extremely dangerous Title-Granting Mission.

"Whoosh!"

A dark red afterimage flashed across the sky and disappeared in an instant.

Three days later.

Wearing the Mang River Armor, Yang Yu arrived at the Military Supply Point Hall, where he could apply to carry out Title-Granting Mission.

"According to the rules, you are eligible to exchange for treasures and accept new missions at the Military Supply Point before and after accepting a mission. However, if you accept a mission but fail to complete it, you cannot enter."

Yang Yu was already aware of this military rule, but fortunately, the routine mission had been completed, so there was no need to worry about not being able to accept the Title-Granting Mission.

According to Yang Yu's understanding, the Title-Granting Mission is issued once per era, and any soldier of the Universe Master is eligible to receive it.

It has been nearly 10,000 years since the last Title-Granting Mission. According to convention, the next Title-Granting Mission will most likely be issued soon.

Recalling these memories, Yang Yu stepped directly into the vast and majestic ancient hall.

Upon entering the palace gate.

Suddenly, time and space shifted, as if we had entered another world.

Yang Yu looked up and saw many soldiers scattered in various places, with a Golden Figure in front of each soldier.

"Interesting, it feels even more mysterious than the Virtual Universe," Yang Yu thought to himself as he looked around.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a Golden Figure materialized out of thin air and descended in front of Yang Yu.

The Golden Figure was shrouded in golden light, making its face completely obscured.

"Sergeant Thunder, please state your request," the Golden Figure asked.

"I wish to apply for the Title-Granting Mission," Yang Yu said.

"Sergeant Thunder, the death rate for Title-Granting Mission is extremely high. You've only been with the Mang River Army for less than ten thousand years. Please consider this carefully. It would be best to hone your skills through several Reincarnation Mission before applying," the Golden Figure said unexpectedly after scanning Yang Yu.

"I've thought it through, and I'm confirming my application!"

"Alright, Sergeant Thunder has applied for the Title-Granting Mission. You will learn the mission details once it begins; complete the mission, and you will be conferred the title upon completion."

The Golden Figure slowly said, "Sergeant Thunder, do you have any other requests?"

"That's all."

Wow~

Upon hearing this, the Golden Figure vanished, and Yang Yu also left this world, reappearing in the outside world.
