Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain.

In the Primal Region, at Yang Wu Manor, in a training ground so bright it reflects light like a mirror.

Yang Wu, clad in dark gold armor, moved constantly in the training ground.

He held a crimson spear, but it was not the Overlord Spear he often used before; it was an extremely ordinary alloy spear without any special effects.

Call!

Yang Wu's eyes blazed with divine light as he continuously practiced various spear techniques in the training ground.

The radiating gun beams subtly echoed the Universe Origin Law, sometimes ethereal and agile, sometimes condensed and sharp, and sometimes explosively powerful.

In an instant, the entire training ground was filled with the light of countless spears.

Every spear technique was executed with unparalleled smoothness in Yang Wu's hands, as if it were a natural creation.

Do not be attached to material things, nor be endangered by your mind.

Of course, Yang Wu's practiced moves were limited to the secret techniques he had encountered in reality. The 'fire and air' Fusion Law he had learned from his simulation experience, as well as his self-created spear techniques, were not yet ready to be used.

Just then, a figure carrying a golden sword appeared in the training ground. It was Yang Wu's instructor, King Jianhuang.

The spear technique Yang Wu displayed was crystal clear to King Jianhuang.

The spear techniques Yang Wu displayed were nothing special in the eyes of King Jianhuang, but the fact that Yang Wu could use them to such an extent surprised King Jianhuang.

"I thought Yang Wu's progress was slow before because he wasn't good at the Law of Gold!"

King Jianhuang nodded inwardly, "I didn't expect him to be seriously cultivating the secret technique!"

"Um?"

King Jianhuang was initially quite casual, but as he looked around, his expression changed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The spear flashed!

Yang Wu's spear technique was incredibly sharp, but King Jianhuang's gaze remained fixed on the Golden Sword Mark between Yang Wu's eyebrows.

"This is..."

"Has he already gained the recognition of the Origin Law of Gold?"

"This... how is this possible?"

Even though King Jianhuang had already witnessed Yang Wu's extraordinary talent, he was still incredibly shocked.

Don't underestimate the Law of Gold just because it's Lower Law.

However, gaining recognition from the Law of Gold is extremely difficult.

Even among the many Domain Lord Level members who have passed the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge in the Primal Secret Region, not all of them can gain the recognition of the Origin Law.

Moreover, the Law of Gold is not the Origin Law that Yang Wu primarily cultivates.

Moreover, in recent years, Yang Wu has been comprehending the Law of Gold under the guidance of King Jianhuang is extremely clear about Yang Wu's progress in the Law of Gold.

In King Jianhuang's eyes, although Yang Wu's understanding of the Law of Gold was good, a year ago he was at most barely at the level of the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.

But what did he see now?

In just one year, his understanding of the Law of Gold has advanced from the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge to the ninth level?

What is this? How utterly incredible!

That's absolutely outrageous.

Just then, Yang Wu, who was practicing spear techniques in the training ground, also saw the King Jianhuang appear out of thin air.

In fact, Yang Wu had already considered whether or not to hide the Golden Sword Mark between his eyebrows.

However, many people have already witnessed the scene where he received recognition from the Origin Law of Gold in the Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele tower, so he can no longer keep it a secret.

Moreover, gaining recognition from the Origin Law of Gold was only a small part of Yang Wu's gains from the last simulation experience, and there was no need to carefully hide it yet.

If pressed for details, simply attribute the matter to the Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele.

If he acts even more monstrous now, it will give him some breathing room when he displays even more astonishing strength in the future.

After all, once he obtains the Time Palace, his strength will improve at an even more astonishing rate, making it impossible for him to keep it hidden forever.

A moment later--

Yang Wu's figure transformed into a hazy phantom, and in an instant, he appeared beside King Jianhuang.

"Please give me some guidance, teacher."

Yang Wu remained calm and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Yang Wu, when did you receive recognition from the Origin Law of Gold?"

King Jianhuang looked at Yang Wu. Although his expression revealed nothing, his tone of voice was no longer as calm as when he was instructing Yang Wu.

At this moment, even King Jianhuang had some doubts in his heart that Yang Wu had already obtained the recognition of the Origin Law of Gold.

But...

King Jianhuang himself knew that such a possibility was not high.

If Yang Wu had already gained recognition from the Origin Law of Gold long ago, there would have been no need for him to keep asking for guidance.

But if Yang Wu's previous progress in understanding the Origin Law of Gold was genuine, then how incredible must his progress this year be?

"Master, I was invited by a powerful member of the Golden Horned Tribe to visit their homeland."

Yang Wu replied, "A year ago, I was granted the opportunity to study the Golden Horn Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele by Elder of the Golden Horned Tribe. I spent a year studying within that Holy Stele Tower, and only then did I manage to gain recognition for the Origin Law of Gold!"

Upon hearing this, King Jianhuang remained silent for a long time.

Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele?

A year of contemplation?

He knew very well that Yang Wu was not telling the truth, or at least not completely telling the truth.

Although King Jianhuang had never been to the Golden Horned Tribe's hometown, he had interacted with many powerful members of the Golden Horned Tribe.

That Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele was left behind by Xirodo, a super strongman renowned throughout the universe, and is indeed a rare treasure.

But if others don't understand him, surely they do?

Compared to the Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele, the fifty-two Chaos Stele of the human race are far superior!

While such treasures can greatly increase the speed at which powerful individuals comprehend the Origin Law, it requires a very long period of accumulation.

If continuous enlightenment could truly lead to continuous progress, then there wouldn't be so few super-strong individuals in the universe.

Even with King Jianhuang's current level of cultivation, it would be impossible for him to improve his understanding of the Law of Wood from the third level of the Heavenly Bridge to the fourth level after a year of studying in front of the Chaos Stele.

But Yang Wu's comprehension level went directly from the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge to the ninth level.

"Yang Wu!"

"He must be hiding something!"

King Jianhuang thought to himself, "If he can make such progress in the Law of Gold, his progress in the Law of Space might be even more astonishing!"

However, for any intelligent life form, the instinct to conceal its trump cards is innate.

As King Rank powerful being who has existed for countless ages, King Jianhuang knows very well that almost every one of the super geniuses who can stand at the pinnacle of the universe has some special experiences.

As for Yang Wu, he is among the top of these super geniuses; it would be abnormal if he didn't have special opportunities.

Everyone has secrets, and King Jianhuang didn't necessarily want to find out Yang Wu's secrets.

Moreover, King Jianhuang was merely Yang Wu's mentor, so their relationship was naturally not as close as when they formally became disciples, and it was impossible for him to delve into every detail of the matter.

Thinking of this, King Jianhuang felt a sense of relief.

"The Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele is indeed a rare treasure, and it will greatly help you comprehend the Law!"

King Jianhuang paused, and after thinking it over, he couldn't help but ask, "However, the Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele has both metal and space attributes. Yang Wu, your progress in the Law of Gold is so astonishing, you must have made great progress in the Law of Space as well!"

He knew Yang Wu's talent in the Law of Space. In his eyes, since Yang Wu had time to improve the Law of Gold, he naturally couldn't put the cart before the horse.

Yang Wu nodded slowly and said, "This disciple has indeed made some progress in the study of Law of Space!"

"Oh?" King Jianhuang asked with a smile, "Perhaps you can pass the Fourteenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge?"

King Jianhuang already knew that Yang Wu had used the ninth level of the Overlord Spear technique, which was comparable to the Thirteenth Floor of the Heavenly Bridge.

"There shouldn't be any problem!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

King Jianhuang was taken aback.

Although he asked this question, subconsciously he did not believe that Yang Wu could improve much in his understanding of the Law of Space.

After all, the more you try to understand the Law, the more difficult they become.

A super genius might be able to advance from the first level of the Heavenly Bridge to Heaven to the fifth level in a hundred years, but to advance from Heavenly Bridge fifth level to the Tenth Layer would probably take tens of thousands of years.

Even if Yang Wu followed the path of analyzing the Law Essence, it would be unlikely that he would have made such amazing progress in such a short period of time.

Unexpectedly, he received a positive answer from Yang Wu.

However, King Jianhuang reconsidered, thinking that with Yang Wu's abilities, perhaps he really could achieve this?

"Next, I will give you some guidance on the Law of Space, but you have already reached the final step in the Law of Gold, and now you can only rely on yourself!"

King Jianhuang sighed softly, "Speaking of which, at your current rate of progress, it probably won't be long before I can no longer guide you on even the Law of Space!"

"No matter what, a teacher is always a student's teacher!" Yang Wu quickly replied.

He didn't say anything modest, after all, his current Law Comprehension was already comparable to the Seventeenth Floor of the Heavenly Bridge, and he could rank among the top even among the hundred World Lord of the Primal Secret Region.

"Hmm!" King Jianhuang nodded. "Since you are practicing spear techniques, then I will use spear techniques to demonstrate the Fifth Diagram of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele for you."

King Jianhuang stretched out his hand, and an ancient spear appeared out of thin air in his hand. At the same time, the space in the cultivation field shifted and transformed into an endless starry sky.

The night sky was silent, with only a few lonely stars dotting the sky.

"Clang!"

King Jianhuang gently raised his spear, his figure seemingly no less imposing than the space itself. In Yang Wu's eyes, the entire starry sky was enveloped by that desolate aura.

In the boundless silence.

Puff!

King Jianhuang swung his spear.

Suddenly, a soft sound came from a distant star, and the once dazzling star instantly turned into a sky full of dust.

Then the entire starry sky was pierced through by King Jianhuang's spear, just like a thin sheet of paper.

Yang Wu's pupils contracted slightly.

With this single shot, countless spaces were frozen in time, and all things lost their meaning of existence.

"Handling heavy tasks with ease!" Yang Wu exclaimed inwardly.

Even though he had fully comprehended the Fifth Diagram of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, seeing King Jianhuang's spear strike brought him some new insights.

"The Law of Space can be applied in an incredibly wide range of ways, with the ultimate paths being Teleportation, Strangulation, and blockade."

King Jianhuang smiled and said, "Although the spear I demonstrated for you only used the Law of Space from the fifth diagram, there was a hint of Teleportation within it!"

The ancient spear in King Jianhuang's hand vanished, and he said expectantly, "This is a powerful ability that countless experts who have comprehended the Law of Space dream of. I hope you can cultivate diligently and acquire the ability of Teleportation as soon as possible!"

Yang Wu nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, teacher."

At the same time, Yang Wu sighed inwardly, "That day is not far away!"

Over the next period of time, Yang Wu first organized all his gains inside the Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele.

Subsequently, Yang Wu, guided by the Golden Horned Tribe, headed to the Golden Horned Tribe Secret Technique Tower.

Inside the Secret Technique Tower, Yang Wu selected three extremely precious secret manuals: <Golden Soul>, <Thirty-Six Layers of Yan Shen>, and <Flame Explosion>.

Among them, the "Thirty-Six Layers of Yan Shen" is the foundation chapter of the "Seven Kills of the Beast God" created by Xirodo. Yang Wu has comprehended the Gold and Space Fusion Law, so naturally he will not give up.

<Golden Soul> is one of the most precious secret techniques in the Secret Technique Tower. It is extremely suitable for powerful individuals who want to comprehend the Law of Gold to cultivate. Yang Wu chose it so that he could have something to refer to when Creation Secret Technique in the future.

As for "Flame Explosion," Yang Wu saw the shadow of his self-created spear technique, "God Slayer," in this manual.

Presumably, Yang Wu chose this book, "Flame Explosion," in the Simulator.

After choosing the secret technique, Yang Wu once again sought an audience with the Elder of the Golden Horned Tribe, and just like in the simulated experience, he encountered the Zerg Race spy who had infiltrated the Golden Horned Tribe.

Led by Zerg Race spy, Yang Wu successfully arrived at the location of the Beast God Statue.

However, unlike in the simulated experience, Yang Wu, having already reached the first level of the Path of the Beast God, quickly sensed a trace of the divine essence of the Beast God Statue, which is the so-called Beast God Artistic Conception.

In the Beast God Canyon.

"I've heard that the Beast God Artistic Conception can complement the Fusion Law, but I wonder if it's true!"

Yang Wu flew around the Beast God Statue in mid-air, taking numerous photos at the same time.

Feeling a sense of urgency, he naturally wouldn't retreat to the Beast God Canyon to cultivate as he had in the simulation, so he decided to take a lot of photos of the Beast God Statue and take them with him.

After Yang Wu had settled everything in the Golden Horned Tribe's hometown, he bid farewell to Sifanqi, who had always been by his side protecting him.

"Elder Sifanqi, before I leave, there is one more thing I would like to ask for your help with!" Yang Wu said earnestly.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, please give your orders!" Sifanqi hurriedly said.

The scene of Yang Wu gaining recognition from the Origin Law of Gold was still firmly imprinted in Sifanqi's mind; he finally understood what a peerless genius was.

Yang Wu slowly said, "I have a good friend named Luo Feng, who is now a universe-level member of the Primal Secret Realm and a rare genius! Moreover, Luo Feng is using the Divine Weapon created by Elder Xi Luoyuan."

"In a few years, Luo Feng will probably break through to the Domain Lord Level. I hope Elder Sifanqi can help him apply for a qualification to comprehend the Golden Horned Tribe Holy Stele!"

Although in the simulation, Luo Feng most likely went to the Golden Horned Tribe's hometown, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to embark on the path of Fusion Law so smoothly.

However, Yang Wu still decided to greet Sifanqi.

With Yang Wu's involvement, Luo Feng will likely receive more attention when he arrives in the hometown of the Golden Horned Tribe.

"Your Highness Luo Feng?" Sifanqi was slightly taken aback.

As a vassal race of the Human Race, the Golden Horned Tribe naturally attaches great importance to news from the Five Great Forces.

The secrecy level of many members of the Primal Secret Region is not very high, so it's perfectly normal for Sifanqi to have heard of Luo Feng!

"Exactly." Yang Wu nodded.

"Since Your Highness has spoken, I will certainly submit the application on behalf of Prince Luo Feng!" Sifanqi hurriedly assured him.

"Thank you very much, Elder Sifanqi!" Yang Wu laughed loudly. "I have gained a great deal from this trip to the Lasao World!"

"I will always remember the help you gave me, Golden Horned Tribe and Elder Sifanqi!"

"Haha!" Sifanqi quickly said, "It's nothing, as long as Your Highness gains something!"

Sifanqi invited Yang Wu to the hometown of the Golden Horned Tribe in order to improve his relationship with Yang Wu.

He was naturally overjoyed to receive Yang Wu's words.

Finally, under Sifanqi's watchful gaze, Yang Wu released the spaceship, and the group then departed aboard it.

Of course, before leaving, Yang Wu did not forget to subtly remind Sifanqi of the Zerg Race spy.

As for the ultimate fate of that Zerg Race spy, that was no longer Yang Wu's concern.
