Fiercely Competitive Star Level Students

Swish!

The metal platform beneath Yu Duan and Palentine flickered, and they instantly appeared on the floating island reserved for Planetary Level members.

The environment on the floating island was pleasant, with a type of cyan vegetation covering the entire island, emitting a refreshing and invigorating fragrance.

The island was quite spacious, containing only four massive hemispherical light shields, which served as the residences for the other four Planetary Level members.

"Every time a Planetary Level member joins, they can customize the appearance of their residence, provided the scale does not exceed a diameter of 1000 kilometers."

Palentine explained this to Yu Duan, just about to take him to construct his own residence on the floating island.

Then, they saw one of the hemispherical light shields suddenly dissipate, revealing a white building with an extremely unique style.

The next instant, that white building vanished as well.

Palentine was startled, quickly checking the information through the system, and then said with a smile: "Including Your Highness, there are now only four Planetary Level students again."

According to custom, Planetary Level students who join the Beiming Sacred Land usually break through to the Star Level within two years; almost no one delays for much longer.

The owner of the building that had just disappeared had been in the Beiming Sacred Land for nearly a year, which was considered quite a long time.

"Mr. Palentine, my bloodline rank is relatively low, barely reaching the eighth grade..."

Before Yu Duan could finish his sentence, Palentine understood and explained with a smile: "Your Highness need not worry. Although low-grade bloodlines are rare in the Sacred Land, they are not non-existent. According to the rules of the Sacred Land, students with lower bloodline ranks are all entitled to one S-Type Bloodline Evolution Agent."

The S-Type Bloodline Evolution Agent is, in fact, a Universe Level bloodline evolution agent.

As for the even higher Domain Lord Level bloodline evolution agents, those could not be provided for free.

However, for Yu Duan, a Universe Level bloodline evolution agent was already sufficient. Once he reached the Universe Level, he would no longer need to consider bloodline enhancement, but rather the elevation of his life gene level.

"Your Highness, next I will take you to the Lecture Building..."

Palentine gave Yu Duan a brief explanation of the privileges afforded to Planetary Level students.

Within the Beiming Space, Planetary Level students had no authorization to enter other areas besides the 'Cultivation Ground' and the 'Lecture Building'.

As for areas like the 'Secret Technique Pavilion' and the 'Arena', they could only be accessed after becoming Star Level students.

This was the Sacred Land's alternative way of urging Planetary Level students to break through quickly; if they wanted to compete, they should do it at the Star Level.

The Lecture Building was located on different life stars depending on the domain or law one was comprehending.

For instance, Yu Duan, who had mastered the Light Domain, needed to head to the teaching venues on 'Shenxi Star' to attend lectures.

There were five teaching halls on Shenxi Star, corresponding to five stages of courses: Domain Level, stepping into the threshold of laws, low-level law comprehension, high-level law comprehension, and law acknowledgement.

Over ninety-nine percent of Star Level students, as well as Planetary Level students like Yu Duan, could only book public lectures that covered 'Domain Level' content.

In the Dark Universe, inside a deep blue long-shuttle spacecraft.

After returning from the Virtual Universe, Yu Duan looked at Palentine and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Palentine."

"Your Highness, please don't say that; this is my duty." Palentine had a very high opinion of Yu Duan, not only because of his astonishing talent but also because of Yu Duan's humble demeanor.

The vast majority of Sacred Land students, even the most ordinary ones, were geniuses at the Star Level who had mastered a domain; they all held their noses high and were very arrogant toward ordinary staff members like them.

"Mr. Palentine, there should be a mimetic cultivation ground on the ship, right?"

Yu Duan had learned a little about this; things like mimetic cultivation grounds were supposed to be standard equipment on E-grade spacecraft.

Many powerful races liked to stay in environments that were more suitable for their own cultivation.

The most typical example was the famous 'Flame Star Behemoth' lineage among the Starry Sky Behemoth race.

Flame Star Behemoths were born inside stars and even fed directly on stars, preferring the environment within a star above all else.

"Of course. What type of cultivation environment does Your Highness require?" Palentine asked quickly.

Yu Duan pondered for a moment: "A natural stellar light environment. As for the intensity... I can adjust it myself."

"Very well, Your Highness, please follow me."

Palentine stood up and guided Yu Duan to a special zero-gravity room.

Various parameters could be set here, consuming the cosmic origin energy within cosmic crystals. Naturally, it could also simulate a natural stellar light environment according to Yu Duan's requirements.

Palentine directly granted the relevant permissions to Yu Duan, then bowed slightly and left the cultivation room, no longer disturbing him.

"Tianran, adjust the cultivation room environment to simulate natural stellar light. Intensity... 1.9 million kilometers outside a light-source star." Yu Duan directly ordered his intelligent assistant to set the parameters.

"Yes, Master!"

Tianran responded immediately and input the various parameters.

In just the blink of an eye, the entire room transformed; the walls vanished, replaced by the deep expanse of the universe.

A scorching star hung in the deep space, and high-intensity solar radiation instantly enveloped Yu Duan, causing the temperature on his skin to rise at an extremely rapid rate.

"Very good, this is the feeling."

Yu Duan's consciousness entered his internal space and landed on the Book of Causality.

"Repaying the advanced cost, bathing in sunlight for 400,000 hours. Current progress: 99,219.4 hours..."

A simulated environment was, after all, slightly inferior to a true natural environment; the repayment efficiency for the advanced cost had dropped from about 43 times to 41 times, though the impact was minimal.

"At my current efficiency, by the time I reach the Beiming Sacred Land, the progress bar will only have increased by nearly 200,000 hours. It's still too slow."

"I must break through to the Star Level as soon as possible to significantly increase the light intensity and step into the level of origin laws."

Only by crossing the threshold of origin laws and truly comprehending a wisp of the mysteries of origin laws can one reign supreme among the Star Level.

Yu Duan and Palentine looked into the basic information regarding the Star Level students of the Beiming Sacred Land.

Among the hundreds of millions of Star Level students, only a small portion are geniuses like Yu Duan, recruited from various star regions; the majority are family elites sent by the Beiming Royal Family and various major factions.

Of course, even to join the Sacred Land through these channels, one must at least master a domain; this is a hard requirement.

Among these hundreds of millions of Star Level geniuses, only a mere 300 or so have truly crossed the threshold of origin laws.

The next level of students down are the geniuses with nine-fold domains who have "touched the origin laws."

So-called "touching the origin laws" means being able to perceive the hazy fluctuations of origin laws and attempting to comprehend them, possessing a faint understanding of the laws, but being unable to wield the true power of origin laws.

The number of students at this level is in the thousands.

"No need to rush, I still have plenty of time."

Yu Duan's mindset is very steady; even if his progress isn't the fastest, it is definitely the most stable.

With the Book of Causality, Yu Duan has no bottlenecks whatsoever.

As long as Yu Duan is given enough time, nothing is a problem.
