Back to the City Lord Mansion

Lu Yan'an chose a relatively secluded Cultivation Residence located about ten thousand kilometers away from the City Lord Mansion. He walked to the pale white door of the Cultivation Residence and gently placed his hand on the door.

"Beep!" The door sensor system activated and began to gradually change color, turning dark gray in a moment. For the next thousand years Lu Yan'an would be the owner of this residence.

Each room in the Cultivation Residence was quite spacious. Although there were secret cultivation chambers, most cultivators sat cross-legged on the rooftop. Chaos air currents swirled in the sky, cracks stretched across the heavens, and intricate Secret Pattern patterns flowed, revealing the laws of nature, creating a breathtaking and invigorating atmosphere.

"Indeed, the rooftop of this Chaos City residence is more suitable for comprehending the laws!" Lu Yan'an slowly raised his head to look at the Universe Operating Laws, feeling the inspiration constantly surging from the depths of his brain. For a moment, he felt an indescribable emotion.

This rooftop, nearly a hundred meters long and wide, is adorned with a jumble of random and varied illustrations and texts, clearly left behind by powerful individuals who once resided here during their contemplation. Although these carvings are scattered and unsystematic, Lu Yan'an still sensed many things upon them. They represented the summaries and insights into the laws of nature shared by different powerful individuals.

"From now on, I'll be sitting on this rooftop for a long time." Lu Yan'an smiled with satisfaction.

Back in the spacious living room on the first floor, I ordered the home service system to prepare a glass of sake.

Lying on the soft fur sofa, Lu Yan'an held a wine glass in his right hand, taking occasional sips. While savoring the unique flavor from the universe dancing in his mouth, he was also thinking at a rapid pace.

"I don't need to think too much about the God King Qi yet. There's no use thinking too much about someone who hasn't reached the level of Universe Master Lord, especially with such outrageous assessment requirements!" These requirements are clearly meant to select a seed with the potential to cultivate to the Chaos Realm. As for how difficult it is, you can refer to City Lord Luo during his time as Universe Venerable in the original work. He was basically a genius of that level!

Judging from Lu Yan'an's current talent, he is completely inferior to City Lord Luo during his Venerable stage! Even if he also cultivates to the level of Universe Venerable, he would still be worlds apart from City Lord Luo. This is why Lu Yan'an is so distressed! You must know that City Lord Luo reached such a level with the help of the Zuoshanke behind the scenes! But he can only rely on himself, and the gap between them is not so easy to bridge.

"I should contact my teacher first and choose my second Clone from him! As for Saint King Qi's request, I have to give it a try, otherwise I'm afraid I'll really regret it later."

Lu Yan'an's original plan was to choose a Clone with strong attack power to make up for his own lack of attack power, but now he can only choose one with strong spatial law talent. If he doesn't make up for his lack of understanding of the law before becoming immortal, it will be much more troublesome for the Universe Master to cultivate the Law of Space in the future.

After some deliberation, Lu Yan'an left his Cultivation Residence and headed to the City Lord Mansion to pay his respects to his teacher. He had already informed the Lord of Darkness of his purpose before entering Chaos City, so the Lord of Darkness was already waiting for him at the City Lord Mansion.

The towering City Lord Mansion had its gates wide open.

The same immortal guards stopped him, but seemingly on orders from the City Lord of Chaos Lu Yan'an, they let him in after a cursory check.

Inner Mansion.

It was the same wide corridor. Lu Yan'an walked along the corridor and soon arrived at a plaza paved with Chaos rocks. He knew the way well and slowly arrived at the Chaos Ruins. He remembered that the last time he came here, it was Venerable Gui Yi who led him here.

He glanced at the quiet courtyard in front of him; the three characters "Chaos Ruins" inscribed on the stone tablet outside the courtyard were still so familiar.

Lu Yan'an took a deep breath and then stepped into the Chaos Ruins.

Boom...

Time and space shifted, yet it was still that familiar feeling. After the changing seasons, Lu Yan'an stepped into this vast world for the second time.

It was that familiar, endless wasteland. Corpses were scattered everywhere, some as large as planets, others smaller than humans, yet each one exuded a terrifying aura that chilled the heart!

"Teacher! Senior Uncle!" Lu Yan'an respectfully greeted the two powerful figures conversing before him. The City Lord of Chaos was still the same as before, wearing an incredibly complex and ancient Dark Red War Armor and battle boots, with a scaled tail protruding from his battle skirt, and his entire body constantly exuding an aura of killing intent! The Lord of Darkness, who was conversing with the City Lord of Chaos, had a completely different appearance.

His skin was as white as jade, and his head was covered with extremely strange and complex black Secret Pattern. This time, he was not wearing the Black Battle Armor he wore before, but instead a white robe, exuding an ethereal aura. His aura surged, even affecting the surrounding spacetime, plunging the entire spacetime into a strange atmosphere.

Upon seeing Lu Yan'an approach, the two tacitly stopped talking and turned to look at him.

"You reckless brat! The second stage of that Highest Points Mission was clearly meant to discourage you, yet you dared to force your way through!" The Lord of Darkness spoke first, laughing and scolding.

"To be honest with you, teacher and senior master, I only went because I was confident that I could complete this mission. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone!" Lu Yan'an scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Be careful! You can't be careless with attacks that directly affect the soul. Even though you have Clone, if your soul is damaged, no amount of Clone will help!" the Lord of Darkness admonished earnestly.

"You are my disciple in name only, so I can no longer interfere in many matters concerning the internal affairs of the human race!" The City Lord of Chaos said calmly from the side. "Don't blame those Venerable who gave you tasks! If you need special privileges, you must produce results! Otherwise, it's difficult for me to handle things."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an remained silent for a long while before replying, "This disciple wouldn't dare!"

Watch your wording, I wouldn't dare!

Since the City Lord of Chaos had brought this up, Lu Yan'an couldn't say anything more. However, many things can't be resolved with just a few words. It was fortunate that Lu Yan'an was assigned this task; if it had been someone else, they'd probably be dead by now. This kind of task, at best, was a difficult assignment, and at worst, it was murder!

Many things can't be resolved with just a few words of comfort on the spot, but judging from the situation, the City Lord of Chaos intends to talk things out, which is in line with his way of weighing things.

After all, Lu Yan'an is just an ordinary genius. Geniuses are the least of the human race's problems! Moreover, he only has the potential to become Venerable, while everyone who assigned him tasks is Venerable. It's easy to see which is more important, which is why the City Lord of Chaos is trying to smooth things over.

A long silence fell over the scene.

At this moment, the Lord of Darkness spoke up, breaking the awkward atmosphere. "Let's not talk about that for now. Didn't you come here to choose your second Clone? Your senior uncle and I will give you some advice. What are your thoughts on your second Clone?"

"This time, I hope to choose a Special Lifeform that specializes in the laws of space, and the higher the level of its Life Gene Level, the better." Hearing the Lord of Darkness's words, Lu Yan'an stopped worrying about it. When you don't have the strength, nothing you say matters! Once he becomes stronger, many problems will no longer be problems.

"Just a high Life Gene Level?" The Lord of Darkness hadn't expected Lu Yan'an's request to be so simple this time, a world of difference compared to the complexity of choosing Clone the first time.

"If this is your only request, then I think having a Clone would be perfect for you!" the City Lord of Chaos suddenly said.
