Training Objectives

"Because your training objectives have shifted slightly, our requirements for you have also been moved forward.

The stronger your Genetic Origin Energy, the clearer your perception of the laws of the universe becomes. Your current training goal is to break through to Star Level within one year and comprehend a trace of the Law of Fire. Within three years, you must cross the threshold of the Law of Fire, and within ten years, you must at least make significant progress in the Law of Fire to participate in the Giant Axe Martial Arena's universe-wide Peak Genius Tournament and rank within the top one thousand."

As soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant blue light shot out from the sleeve of the Third Elder, condensing into a holographic projection in the air.

The artificial intelligence of Manlong Marquis quickly listed out the training plan for Ling Xuan, with every detail precisely calculated down to training duration and resource allocation.

Upon completing the first stage, he would be rewarded with a top-tier Grade 5 force weapon, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, along with its corresponding secret techniques.

For the second stage, he would be rewarded with an entire star system as his territory, treasures to assist his family in their cultivation, and personal guidance from Manlong Marquis on the Law of Fire and secret techniques.

For the third stage, he would even have the opportunity to become a personal disciple of the Zhulong King, with countless treasures and secret techniques at his disposal!

"If I reach the second stage, my family can also receive treasures to assist in their cultivation..."

Thinking of his parents and two older sisters toiling away in cultivation day and night, Ling Xuan felt a surge of motivation.

His family's talent was not particularly outstanding; without significant opportunities, it would be difficult for them to break through to Universe Level in their lifetimes.

His own growth rate might not necessarily match that of City Lord Luo, who had someone to "cheat" for him to earn resources to cultivate his family.

By the time he became an eternal Immortal God, his family might not be able to keep up with his pace.

But with the support of the clan, his family would have the chance to break through to Universe Level, or even Domain Lord Level, giving them enough time to wait for him to possess the wealth required to cultivate them to the realm of Immortal God.

A fire ignited in Ling Xuan's heart.

"Remember, opportunity and pressure coexist." The Third Elder waved his hand, and space twisted like a mirror. "Once the nutrient chamber arrives, begin your seclusion."

The Temple Envoy stepped forward respectfully, his body wreathed in emerald-green Divine Patterns that moved like living creatures, instantly forming a light barrier that blotted out the sky.

Ling Xuan felt a powerful force of space envelop him. As the world spun, countless stars trailed light as they streaked past his eyes, and time and space seemed to twist and fold in that moment.

When the light dissipated, the familiar scent of Manlong Planet, carried by hot, sandy winds, rushed toward him, reminding him that he had returned to his homeland.

For the next three days, Ling Xuan locked himself in the training room to continue digesting the Divine Bird Secret Pattern he had just comprehended.

On this day, a roar tore through the sky.

A massive transport ship, like a steel beast, broke through the clouds and hovered steadily outside the temple.

The hatch on the belly of the ship opened slowly, and twelve elite warriors clad in silver-gray armor stepped out in perfect unison.

"Master, the nutrient chamber you ordered has arrived." A notification sounded from Ling Xuan's Auxiliary Optical Computer; the cold, mechanical female voice made his heart race.

He abruptly exited his meditative state, rushed out of the training room in a few strides, and quickly arrived outside the courtyard.

"I am Ling Xuan. Thank you for your hard work." Ling Xuan's gaze was fixed intently on the nutrient chamber before him.

The lead staff member raised his hand to reveal a dark gold metal plate on his wrist, his tone professional: "Please place your spiritual energy on this plate to confirm your identity."

Spiritual energy fluctuation frequency was an important marker for universal citizenship, which everyone possessed, though the strength varied. The spiritual energy of a Spirit Reader was particularly powerful and could be used in combat.

Ling Xuan immediately focused his attention, and a faint yet unique strand of spiritual energy extended from his fingertip, landing gently on the metal plate.

In an instant, the metal plate glowed brilliantly, and dense streams of data flashed rapidly.

"Identity confirmed as client Ling Xuan. Proceed with the handover." The Auxiliary Optical Computer of the Virtual Universe Company staff member prompted.

Several staff members efficiently removed the nutrient chamber and handed over a virtual screen: "Mr. Ling Xuan, this is your nutrient chamber. Please sign to receive it."

Ling Xuan's spiritual energy quickly traced his name on the virtual screen, completing the signing process.

Watching the staff members turn and board their ship to leave, his gaze returned to the nutrient chamber, and he muttered to himself: "This is the supreme treasure that can increase cultivation efficiency a thousandfold without any side effects..."

After placing the nutrient chamber in the core training room of his residence, Ling Xuan took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the chamber filled with pale green liquid.

While the highest-grade E-Grade Nutrient Chamber on the market could assist in cultivation, long-term use would damage the body's foundation, and the price was so exorbitant that even the Mangu Tribe could hardly afford it.

But this custom-made nutrient chamber was specifically crafted by the five major powers for their core members. Even ordinary Immortal experts would be reluctant to cultivate their disciples this way; only the deep-rooted Zhulong Clan, with its accumulation of trillions of epochs, had the confidence to invest in him like this.

The moment the liquid surged in, Ling Xuan felt countless energies pouring into his meridians like a raging galaxy, and every cell in his body screamed with excitement.

The energy barrier between the third and ninth stages of Planetary Level melted away like thin ice in spring under the impact of this majestic power.

Although he could not practice blade techniques while in the nutrient chamber, his mind was incredibly clear, and he instantly immersed himself in the world of the Flame Domain.

Time slipped away in his focus. The moment the ninth micro-planet formed by Genetic Origin Energy ignited with a roar in his dantian, Ling Xuan opened his eyes abruptly, a powerful aura erupting from his body.

Feeling the surging power within him, Ling Xuan clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a scorching light—Planetary Level nine, success!

"Next is to break through to Star Level, but there's no rush. I've only just reached the ninth stage of Planetary Level; I should stabilize first."

Ling Xuan continued to challenge experts in the virtual universe while adjusting his state.

Time passed quietly, and three days flew by in an instant.

When the first rays of morning sunlight spilled through the window onto Ling Xuan, he slowly opened his eyes. A brilliant light shot from his pupils; his spirit and energy had been adjusted to their peak state.

At this moment, his aura was as steady as a mountain, yet it faintly revealed a sharp edge about to break through, like an peerless blade about to be unsheathed, ready to strike.

"It is time!" Ling Xuan let out a low shout, and his aura climbed instantly.

Inside his dantian, the nine micro-planets that had been emitting dazzling light were originally rotating in an orderly fashion, but at this moment, they seemed to be pulled by some powerful gravitational force and began to draw slowly toward each other.

"Hum!" A dull roar emanated from Ling Xuan's body, like the chaotic sound of the universe at its inception.

The first micro-planet was the first to break its limit, exploding with a roar and turning into a storm of scorching energy that instantly swept through his entire dantian.

Immediately after, the remaining eight planets were like ignited powder kegs, exploding one after another as violent Genetic Origin Energy surged like a tide, crashing wave after wave against the barriers of his dantian.

Under the constant bombardment of that raging energy, the space within his dantian began to expand at an astonishing speed, transforming from its original cramped confines into something vast and boundless, resembling a sprawling cosmic starfield.

At the center of this space, a faint, flickering light quietly emerged; though the glow was dim, it radiated a powerful gravitational pull that made one's heart tremble.

"Absorb!" Ling Xuan roared, focusing all his mental energy onto that point of light and guiding the surrounding, rampant Genetic Origin Energy to converge frantically toward it.

As the energy continued to pour in, the light grew brighter and more scorching, gradually condensing into a small star radiating a golden brilliance.

When the very last wisp of Genetic Origin Energy was absorbed by the newborn star, Ling Xuan suddenly snapped his eyes open, golden light erupting from his gaze and piercing straight into the firmament.

An aura so powerful it was suffocating surged from within his body, instantly shattering the roof of the cultivation chamber and shooting straight into the clouds.

"Star Level, breakthrough successful."

Please vote, follow, bookmark, and invest.

It's the end of the month; those who still have monthly tickets, don't forget to cast them. It would be a waste if they expire, so you might as well give them to me.

Comments also increase popularity, so feel free to leave more.

Familiar faces will be appearing soon. This book will definitely feature Luo Feng; the synopsis already states that I intend to take Luo Feng as a disciple.

I made some secondary adjustments by lowering Yan Di's age. I feel that fighting anyone else wouldn't be as satisfying as fighting Yan Di.

Furthermore, Yan Di's talent in the early stages is truly explosive. He can increase his life gene multiplier, which means his law affinity can rise accordingly. However, once reaching the Universe Master stage, law affinity loses its significance and progress relies on comprehension, which is why his advancement slowed down.

The young Yan Di is definitely the most formidable among all the Universe Masters who appeared in the original work.

Anyway, the original work never specified exactly how old Yan Di was.
