A Life-or-Death Adventure

"Teacher, is there really no other way?" Yang Wu pressed.

"Yes!" Seeing his disciple's resolute will, Jinguang Marquis sighed and finally said helplessly, "If you want to accelerate your comprehension of the Law, there is only one path you can take now!"

"Please enlighten me, teacher!" Yang Wu asked respectfully, his voice resolute.

Seeing the resolute look on Yang Wu's face, Jinguang Marquis seemed to see himself and his many companions from millions of years ago.

Over the millions of years, of the group of companions who joined the Ganwu Secret Region together, only a few remain, and for now, he is the only one who has broken through to Immortal.

Then, Jinguang Marquis slowly said, "Cultivating in the face of death can greatly increase your speed of comprehension!"

"Between life and death lies immense terror!"

"Between life and death lies boundless power!"

"It's like a conditioned reflex; when faced with a life-or-death crisis, every cell in our body struggles, and evolution accelerates."

"The terror of life and death can bring our soul and body to a peak state that we cannot reach under normal circumstances. In this state, it is easier for people to comprehend, evolve, and improve their strength."

"This is a life reflex! When faced with death, life will put out its most intense struggle! We may not be able to break through this after countless hours of arduous practice, but perhaps we will break through after encountering a life-threatening crisis!"

After hearing what Jinguang Marquis said, Yang Wu suddenly understood.

Yes, Luo Feng and his two companions are not lacking in resources, but they still went to take the Apprentice Mercenary Assessment mission several months ago.

They had invited Yang Wu at the time, but Yang Wu was rapidly improving under the guidance of Jinguang Marquis and naturally didn't have time to join them.

Moreover, with Yang Wu's physical attributes at the ninth level of the Stellar Realm, coupled with his eighth-level Domain Realm, the trainee mercenary assessment mission posed no difficulty for him, so it naturally did not arouse his interest.

But if it were truly a life-or-death adventure, Yang Wu was somewhat tempted.

Because the path to becoming a strong person is never smooth sailing. Even if Yang Wu possesses a heaven-defying treasure like the Time Simulator, he wouldn't dare say that he can definitely reach the peak.

The current simulations are held once every three years. Once Yang Wu breaks through to the Universe Level or the Domain Lord Level, it might become once every few decades or even centuries.

Who knows what might happen during such a long time interval?

Moreover, even Luo Feng, who possesses extraordinary talent, opportunities, and luck, has faced life-or-death crises several times. How could Yang Wu possibly back down?

"This disciple is prepared to take a life-or-death risk; please help me, Master!" Yang Wu pleaded with Jinguang Marquis.

Given Yang Wu's current strength, finding a suitable place for adventure would be difficult, so he had no choice but to ask Jinguang Marquis for help.

"Yang Wu, are you really sure?" Jinguang Marquis asked seriously.

If he could, he really didn't want his excellent disciple Yang Wu to embark on a life-or-death adventure so early.

Jinguang Marquis felt that they could wait until Yang Wu was stronger before embarking on this life-or-death adventure.

After all, Yang Wu's progress is not slow now, and he doesn't need the terror of life and death to stimulate him.

Yang Wu nodded heavily.

"I want to go on a life-or-death adventure too!" Natie suddenly exclaimed from the side.

"Nonsense!" Jinguang Marquis suddenly looked at Natie and shouted angrily.

If Jinguang Marquis felt some regret that Yang Wu was going on a life-or-death adventure, then Natie's announcement that he was going on the same adventure was enough to enrage him.

Natie was the only son of Jinguang Marquis, and now that he had become Immortal, having offspring was even more difficult for him.

Therefore, unless Natie faces the danger of reaching the end of his life in the future, he will never allow the other party to take any life-or-death risks!

As for now, Natie is not even 30,000 years old, which is still a long way from the million-year lifespan of Domain Lord Level!

However, it wasn't appropriate for Jinguang Marquis to directly refuse the idea of Natie.

After a moment's consideration, Jinguang Marquis continued, "Life-or-death adventures are not safe at all. Even the relatively simple Universe Mercenary Assessment missions have an alarmingly high mortality rate. Not to mention the life-or-death battles in the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, or the even more brutal Outer-Region Battlefield, where the mortality rate can reach over ninety percent. With your current strength, Natie, if you were to participate in a life-or-death adventure, you would probably perish immediately!"

This wasn't Jinguang Marquis threatening Natie. Those who reach the peak of the Domain Lord, even those with a modicum of talent, are likely capable of comprehending a trace of the Law. With Natie's current strength, even with the treasures he had prepared, it's truly insufficient.

Hearing such a terrifying death rate, Natie's face paled slightly, and he quickly said, "Life-or-death adventures are really this terrifying? Junior brother, why don't you not go? With your amazing comprehension, why take such a risk?"

When Natie was born, Jinguang Marquis was already an extremely powerful World Lord. Not long after, Jinguang Marquis broke through to become Immortal.

As the son of a Marquis-level Immortal, and possessing a good character, how could Natie possibly encounter danger in the Ganwu Universe Country?

So when he heard about the incredibly high mortality rate of life-or-death adventures, he immediately backed down.

After all, for him, being able to become a World Lord and live for a thousand epochs under his father's protection would be enough.

"Senior brother, thank you for your concern. However..." Yang Wu shook his head and declined, "I still want to give it a try!"

Yang Wu then respectfully said to Jinguang Marquis again, "Please help me, Master!"

Seeing that Yang Wu had made up his mind, Jinguang Marquis naturally would not refuse again.

After all, it would be a good thing if Yang Wu could truly comprehend the Law as soon as possible.

"With your current strength, Yang Wu, the Apprentice Mercenary Assessment of the Universe Mercenary Alliance and the life-or-death duel in the Giant Axe Fighting Arena are no challenge for you. To meet the requirements for a life-or-death adventure, you'd have to Universe-Level Expert Tournament or a large number of Star Level ninth-tier powerhouses!"

Jinguang Marquis said earnestly, "A Universe Level expert is already considered a powerful figure, and those whose strength is comparable to yours are not many. I'm afraid even fewer would be willing to fight you to the death. As for Star Level, they are too few to be of any use to you. Here's what we'll do: you come back to the territory with me, and I'll make arrangements for you!"

"Father!" Natie suddenly called out.

"Hmm?" Jinguang Marquis looked at Natie.

Natie quickly asked, "Father, would having a large number of ninth-tier Star Level help Junior Brother Yang Wu?"

"That's right!" Jinguang Marquis nodded and said, "We need at least 100,000, and it will be a life-or-death battle!"

"Haha!" Natie laughed, "What a coincidence!"

"Father, just a few days ago, the World Lord An Mengzi of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area contacted me, saying that they discovered an Inner Realm a world left behind by a World Lord in an Apprentice Mercenary Assessment world. However, due to the obstruction of an Inspector from the Universe Mercenary Alliance, they could only send a large number of Star Level Ninth Order troops into the Inner Realm to seize treasures."

"The major powers in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area sent a total of nearly two million ninth-tier Star Level troops into it. At the time, An Mengzi even wanted to ask me to send some people in as well, but I had no time to care about such things."

"An Mengzi?" Jinguang Marquis suddenly asked, "I vaguely remember this person. Is he the World Lord who ceded Laiyin Planet to you back then?"

"That's him!" Natie said with a smile. "This guy is quite interesting. I offered him money, but he refused to accept it. Father, do you think that Star Level army within that Inner Realm could help Junior Brother Yang Wu break through?"

"But, isn't two million too much?" Natie hesitated again.

"Not many!" Jinguang Marquis looked at Yang Wu and said, "The various forces in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area are not a united front. These two million troops will definitely fight among themselves. Yang Wu, do you dare to go?"

"This disciple is willing to go!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

It's truly a twist of fate. Yang Wu never expected that, after all these twists and turns, he would end up going to the Thunder World.
