"I never expected your ambition to be so great that you actually intend to become a Golden Giant Axe Warrior," Sanying said.

"Actually, I didn't want to participate either; fighting is so dangerous. But as they say, wealth is found in risk. As long as I become a Golden Giant Axe Warrior, there are massive benefits waiting for me," Sett said with a smile.

"What kind of massive benefits?" Sanying asked, puzzled.

"I'll tell you later. In any case, they are benefits for cultivation," Sett said.

"So mysterious."

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

After resting for a few days, Sett continued his training; after all, he had to prepare for the upcoming competition.

Moreover, he had long since grown accustomed to training. If he went too long without it, he would actually feel uneasy. Plus, the pleasure brought by the increase in strength was incredibly satisfying, and Sett enjoyed that feeling.

"External view simulation." As the ship exited the Dark Universe, Sett quickly gave the order.

The beautiful Zhenyun Planet appeared on the screen, a planet a full ten million kilometers in size that occupied most of the display.

Densely packed ships were coming and going. As a world-renowned tourist planet, a massive number of visitors arrived every single moment.

The ship, having just arrived in the outer space of Zhenyun Planet, suddenly performed a teleportation and arrived at the plain where Sett used to train.

Zhenlian King put away the dozens-of-meters-long ship, and Sett appeared directly on the ground.

Although he had seen many beautiful women on Julingsheng Planet, Zhenlian King was even more beautiful. The aura brought by such formidable strength was not something an ordinary woman could compare to.

"Disciple 'Sett' implores Lord Zhenlian King to accept me as a disciple." Sett naturally knew that at a time like this, he couldn't wait for Zhenlian King to speak, so he quickly knelt to offer his apprenticeship.

After all, that was how it was done in the original story; following suit was perfectly fine.

"Then I shall reluctantly accept you as my disciple. From today on, you are my second personal disciple. Get up," Zhenlian King said with a smile.

"What? I'm actually only the second one?" Sett was secretly shocked to hear what Zhenlian King said. One had to know that an Immortal-level powerhouse had lived for who knows how many hundreds of millions of years.

In the original story, any random Immortal-level powerhouse had taken in a multitude of disciples, unless they were eccentric or twisted in personality.

Within the human race, many powerhouses were willing to cultivate the younger generation, not only to improve the overall strength of humanity.

Perhaps a disciple would become an expert and even be able to provide feedback to their master.

In the universe, the relatives of many powerhouses had long since passed away when they were still weak.

Conversely, the bonds between friends and master-disciple were incredibly solid, yet Zhenlian King had only taken two personal disciples, and one of them had just been accepted.

"Whatever, two is also quite good. I can focus my energy and cultivate properly, hehe," Sett chuckled lecherously.

Seeing that smile on Sett's face, Zhenlian King rolled her eyes, speechless.

"Since I have become your teacher, I cannot be stingy with the benefits. This ship is yours." Zhenlian King released the ship Sett had been riding in earlier.

A ship of several dozen meters was very small compared to other vessels.

But as a top-tier F-grade ship that had also integrated an Immortal-level auxiliary life form, it was naturally incredibly powerful.

Whether it was the speed that reached 60 times the speed of light or the secret patterns added to the edges of the ship.

It could cut through planets without even slowing down, and stars were no exception.

Such a top-tier ship could only be possessed by powerful Immortal-level experts.

Zhenlian King had naturally paid a massive price for this ship.

An A-grade ship was made of A-grade metal or alloy and could barely reach the speed of light to enter the Dark Universe.

B-grade ships corresponded to B-grade metal... and so on, up to E-grade ships.

A-grade through E-grade ships could all be built using man-made alloys. However, F-grade ships could only be crafted from natural F-grade metal because there were no F-grade alloys.

The raw materials were exorbitantly expensive, and when combined with the secret patterns crafted by masters and an engine capable of 60 times the speed of light, the costs were even higher.

As for the cost of cultivating an auxiliary life form to the Immortal level to integrate with the ship, it was beyond description.

One had to know that even with the best cultivation, an auxiliary life form was not guaranteed to become an Immortal. Naturally, every Immortal-level auxiliary life form came with a sky-high price tag.

Not to mention that the auxiliary life form Zhenlian King used had reached the Fenghou level.

"Even an Immortal who has just entered the Fenghou level cannot break through this ship of mine. Of course, in your future cosmic adventures, I do not want you to rely too much on the ship. Do not hide in the ship the moment you encounter difficulties," Zhenlian King said while looking at the ship.

"The universe is too vast. A ship with 60 times the speed of light can help you handle most of the journey and save you from wasting time."

Damn, the teacher is so extravagant the moment she makes a move. This is quite a bit more powerful than the Yunmo Star Ship, Sett thought to himself.

"Yes, Teacher. I will definitely work hard to become a powerhouse like you as soon as possible," Sett quickly promised.

The Yunmo Star Ship from the original story was naturally an F-grade ship that had also cost a fortune, but it hadn't integrated an auxiliary life form and had been in a damaged state for a very long time.

"Hmm. When I teach disciples, I can provide secret techniques, money, and weapons. But you need to venture out into the universe. Only come to me for help when you encounter problems that you truly cannot solve," Zhenlian said as she took out a beautiful butterfly and placed it in Sett's hand.

"This is my token. If you truly encounter a dangerous situation, I will immediately teleport to your side from my God Kingdom. Of course, I hope you never have to use it."

"Yes, I understand, Teacher," Sett said quickly.

Sett took the butterfly and put it into his space ring, along with the ship, storing them both away.

"How much longer until you participate in the Golden Giant Axe Warrior competition?" Zhenlian King asked next.

"The Giant Axe Arena said it would be about half a year to a year, though it also depends on how many people are willing to participate. But that is the most likely timeframe," Sett replied.

"Then let's use these six months to train properly," Zhenlian King said.

In the room, Zhenlian King and Sett sat on the sofa as a scroll manifested before Sett's eyes.

"Although my comprehension of the Law of Gold is merely average, it is more than enough to teach you," Zhenlian King said.

Within the scroll, planets, meteorites, and comets appeared, forming a starry sky.

It was as if a real universe had manifested right before Sett's eyes.

"Gold is the most rigid and the most masculine!" Using the scroll and her words, Zhenlian King explained her own understanding of the Law of Gold.

Although it was simple and easy to understand, the profoundness of the law still left Sett feeling dizzy and unable to find a starting point.

Zhenlian King lectured for two full days, focusing entirely on describing the Law of Gold.

"Alright, that's all for now. You'll have to comprehend the rest on your own. No matter how much I explain the mysteries of the law, it's useless; you must rely on your own insights," Zhenlian King said as she stood up.

"Yes, thank you, Teacher." Sett naturally knew that what Zhenlian King had taught over these two days was practically tailor-made for him.

These two days of lectures had given Sett some realizations. Combined with his previous confusion regarding the law, Sett, who had been unable to find a path, now felt as if he were about to touch the mysteries of the law.

"Yes, just a little bit more. I need to contemplate this properly." Sett knew he was only a hair's breadth away from comprehending the law, so he quickly began to meditate.

Recalling the content Zhenlian King had explained, the fog began to clear.

Sitting on the sofa in meditation, Sett completely lost track of time. Fortunately, since he had broken through to the Planetary Level, his genetic enhancement meant he no longer needed food or drink to sustain his life.

Comprehending the law was more interesting and engaging than anything else.

It was just like the most fun game, addictive to the core.

"Haha! Is this the Law of Gold? It's truly fascinating." Sett, who had sat motionless for who knows how long, found that his hair and beard had grown quite long, but he had finally grasped a tiny sliver of the Law of Gold.

Even with just a sliver of the law, Sett felt that his strength had increased by more than fifty percent.

The law was truly terrifyingly powerful.

If I had my current strength, I reckon I could take care of Juenian with a single punch, Sett thought to himself.

"Let's go to the Killing Field and see the results, haha." In high spirits, Sett only wanted to engage in real combat immediately to see exactly how much the mysteries of the law could boost his strength.

The Killing Field was the best place for this; the virtual universe created by the Virtual Universe Company could perfectly simulate even something as profoundly mysterious as the laws.

Naturally, Sett could also utilize the law within the Killing Field.

"Haha, exhilarating, truly exhilarating! Is this the Law of Gold? No wonder it's so powerful." Entering the Killing Field and engaging in continuous, fierce battles, Sett felt incredibly satisfied.

The increase in strength made him feel like he was soaring.
