Virtual Universe, Battle Space.

Across the vast, blue-green sea, two brilliant streaks of light flickered rapidly.

The Light and Dark Domain clashed against each other; every second, the two figures collided hundreds of times, two identical golden curved blades dancing through the air.

"Bang!"

Yu Duan's figure slammed into the surface of the sea, kicking up massive waves dozens of meters high. A deep gash was torn across his chest by the long blade, and the 100% simulated pain flooded his consciousness.

"Yes, that's the way to exert force! This is the third level of the Morning Dawn Nine Blades!"

Yu Duan's expression was slightly excited as the wound on his chest began to knit back together.

The next instant, a new battle began.

This time, the situation was no longer one-sided. Even though his opponent had far more combat experience than he did, he was still able to maintain a relatively balanced stance.

It was only when Yu Duan's Origin Energy and stamina were completely exhausted that the battle finally came to an end.

"Even with the same third level of the Morning Dawn Nine Blades and the same 18-fold force amplification, my technique and practical combat experience are still far behind!"

On the sea, Yu Duan's figure reappeared, reflecting on the gains and losses of that last fight.

With equivalent force amplification, the sparring partner simulated by the Battle Space consumed far less stamina and Origin Energy than he did.

This wasn't a gap in level, but purely a gap in technique and experience.

"Master, Lord Palentine has sent a message. We will arrive at the Beiming Sacred Land in three hours!"

The figure of his intelligent assistant, Tianran, suddenly appeared in front of Yu Duan.

"Hm? We're here already? Time really flies."

Yu Duan was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

He had been immersed in the Killing Field day and night, only sleeping soundly once he was completely drained, leaving him with no sense of time.

Of course, his hard work had paid off.

"In over half a year, my force amplification has increased from 7-fold to 18-fold. This speed is definitely not slow."

Yu Duan was quite satisfied with his own talent.

At the very least, in terms of honing physical techniques, this efficiency was already considered very high.

"Whoosh!"

The sensor door of the cultivation room slid open, and Yu Duan walked out, his upper body bare.

For three whole months, Yu Duan had eaten, slept, and lived entirely within the cultivation room, and he was finally able to relax a little.

"His Highness has finally come out..."

Palentine looked at Yu Duan as he stepped out of the cultivation room, feeling a sense of emotion.

He prided himself on having been diligent in his youth, but compared to this incredibly talented Highness before him, he felt somewhat inadequate.

The environment of the Mimicry Cultivation Room was by no means comfortable; it was equivalent to an ordinary person staying in high temperatures of several dozen degrees for long periods.

Even for a Planetary Level powerhouse, while they wouldn't suffer from physiological issues like 'heatstroke,' it was still a heavy burden on their willpower and spirit.

"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Palentine. I'm going to go wash up first."

"Please go ahead, Your Highness. I will notify you before we enter the Sacred Land."

Three hours later, on a life-bearing planet in the star sector directly under the Beiming Universe Kingdom, a deep blue long-shuttle spaceship slowly descended.

"Whoosh!"

As the hatch opened, Yu Duan and Palentine flew out, simultaneously stowing away the ship behind them.

The next instant, a brilliant flash of lightning flickered, and in a heartbeat, a burly figure about 10 meters tall appeared before them.

In the center of this figure's forehead was a brilliant silver lightning mark—a powerful World Lord recognized by the laws.

The moment this World Lord appeared, Yu Duan could feel the hair on his body stand on end, with various static electrical effects occurring frequently.

"Do not resist. I will take you into my Internal World and then bring you into the Sacred Land!"

The Thunder Light World Lord spoke with an indifferent expression. Without a moment's hesitation, he waved his large hand, and a mysterious World Force dispersed, enveloping Yu Duan and Palentine.

The next instant, the world shifted.

The original spaceship docking port vanished, replaced by a boundless black continent. Faintly, one could see lightning flashing in the sky, providing a dim light to this world.

"Such strong gravity..."

The moment Yu Duan's figure materialized, a powerful gravitational force pulled him downward, but fortunately, he adapted instantly and regained his hover in mid-air.

"Come to think of it, this is my first time entering a World Lord's Internal World."

The vertical pupil at the center of Yu Duan's forehead opened completely. The dim, lightless world of the World Lord suddenly seemed much brighter.

His Third Pupil could perceive rays outside the spectrum that normal eyes could not detect, and it possessed highly sensitive four-primary-color vision.

The continent that appeared black was actually a dark blue land, composed of countless tiny dark blue crystals.

"Your Highness, try not to look around too much. A World Lord's Internal World always holds a few secrets, more or less."

Palentine offered a well-intentioned reminder.

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan immediately closed the Third Pupil at the center of his brow and stayed obediently by Palentine's side.

About ten minutes later, that profound World Force emerged once more, directly kicking Yu Duan and Palentine out of the Internal World.

Swish!

Yu Duan felt the light and shadows before his eyes shift instantly, and then he appeared on a floating island.

Standing on the floating island and gazing into the distance, he saw a vast, ice-blue ocean stretching out before him.

This was the Beiming Sea of the real world, a massive ocean with a diameter exceeding thirty billion kilometers.

"Very well, you have arrived at the Sacred Land. My mission is complete."

The cold voice of the Thunder World Lord rang out once more, and in the next instant, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the spot.

Feeling the cosmic energy here, which was several times denser than before, Yu Duan felt every cell in his body become significantly more active.

On the Beiming Sea, there were islands of various sizes.

The most eye-catching among them was the Ice and Snow Sacred Mountain at the center, upon which stood a Silver Temple, the residence of the great Lord of the Kingdom.

Unlike the Virtual Universe, the Beiming Sacred Land in the real world did not contain numerous temples for Immortals.

The two thousand Immortals under the Beiming Universe Kingdom each had their own duties or territories and could not possibly gather together every day.

Of course, it was not entirely devoid of them.

Circling the foot of the Sacred Mountain were twenty-four towering palaces, which were the residences of the twenty-four Immortal God teachers of the Beiming Sacred Land.

Palentine bowed slightly toward Yu Duan: "Your Highness, you are now an official member of the Beiming Sacred Land. I shall now escort you to your residence."

"At your residence, the S-Type Bloodline Evolution Agent and the Nutrient Evolution Pod have already been prepared for you."

Hearing this, Yu Duan quickly expressed his gratitude: "I am sorry to trouble you, Mr. Palentine."

About half an hour later, Yu Duan finally settled into the Beiming Sacred Land.

On an independent island sat an estate covering over a hundred square kilometers, equipped with thousands of attendants; this was Yu Duan's residence in the Beiming Sacred Land.

Deep within the estate, in an underground quiet room, sat a rock-gray nutrient pod containing enough nutrient solution for Yu Duan to evolve to the peak of the Planetary Level without side effects.

Beside the nutrient pod was a silver briefcase, inside of which was the S-Type Bloodline Evolution Agent prepared for Yu Duan.
