Lu Yan'an and his companion swiftly soared through the air, flying towards the palace.

Although the palace appears to occupy a limited area from the outside, it contains a wealth of wonders within!

This time, under Mingluo's guidance Lu Yan'an successfully arrived at the depths of the palace and, through a teleportation portal, reached the core of the Yanguang Secret Realm — the Yanguang Holy Land.

The Yanguang Holy Land is the most mysterious place on the entire Mingguang Star. It is a platform established by the Aurora Race specifically to cultivate geniuses within their clan. Inside, there are two towers, one called "Yanguang Tower" and the other called "Aurora Tower." In terms of importance, the two complement each other, perfectly constructing the cultivation system of the Yanguang Holy Land.

"Look!" Mingluo pointed to a pale white tower hundreds of kilometers high in the distance. "That's the Yanguang Tower, which houses the Aurora Race's inherited treasure— the Aurora Statue, as well as various secret techniques left behind by countless powerful figures throughout history who comprehended the Aurora Statue!"

"A secret technique?" Lu Yan'an was taken aback.

"Yes." Mingluo nodded. "While studying the Aurora Statue alone can enhance one's understanding of the Origin Law of Light, the improvement is extremely limited! If we had the secret methods summarized by the powerful members of our Aurora Race throughout history for studying the statue, comparing them one by one and using these secret methods could greatly enhance one's understanding of the Law of Light!"

Lu Yan'an nodded slightly. This was the same as him enhancing his understanding of the Darkness Chaos Stele through the Zhou Guang Yan Lun.

"But unfortunately, you cannot choose the secret technique!" Mingluo explained, "After all, this is a secret manual accumulated by my Aurora Race over countless years, of immeasurable value. In order to ensure that the secret technique is not leaked, only geniuses from our own clan can make the choice! Of course, if a genius from another clan must make a choice, it must be confirmed by our clan's Immortal Soul Search before it can be chosen!"

Lu Yan'an understood the reason for doing so, but at this moment he felt extremely uncomfortable! Soul searching meant that a powerful person would have to reveal all their secrets to another person, which was absolutely intolerable! Moreover, someone with a more fiery temper would probably have turned on them immediately. To put one's life in another's hands for a secret technique—how foolish!

"The other Aurora Tower is used to measure one's understanding of the Aurora Statue." Mingluo seemed completely oblivious to Lu Yan'an's unpleasant expression. He pointed to another tall, golden tower and said, "Your Highness, you have a month to study the Aurora Statue on your own. After that, you will enter the Yanguang Tower, and once you have finished your study, you can challenge the Aurora Tower!"

"Look."

"The entire Holy Land is another God Kingdom." Mingluo pointed to the surroundings, where there were quiet and simple houses. There were no gorgeous decorations, and everything looked very ancient and simple. At a glance, a large number of houses exuded a very special ancient charm.

On the streets, one could see unkempt Aurora Race cultivators coming and going, each one seemingly lost in thought.

There are no dining or entertainment facilities within the entire holy site.

This is a cultivation atmosphere!

"Those who wish to have a residence within the Holy Land to cultivate in peace are either truly respected powerhouses, peerless geniuses admired by countless clansmen, or figures valued by the elders," Mingluo sighed. "Those who cultivate in seclusion within this Holy Land are the future hope of our Aurora Race."

"Your Highness, our Aurora Race has also prepared a place for you, a prince from beyond the heavens," Mingluo said with a smile. "Please follow me."

Moment.

An ancient Cultivation Residence, covering an area of about ten acres, came into view. Lu Yan'an and his group stood in front, and Mingluo pointed to the residence in front of them. "This is considered one of the largest cultivation residences in the Holy Land. After a month of studying in the Yanguang Tower, we can stay here to absorb some of the mysteries of the Aurora Statue."

"Your His Highness An Lu Yan'an." Outside the Cultivation Residence, an Aurora Race bowed respectfully. The purple clan mark on his forehead stood out strikingly in this sacred land. "From today onwards, this residence will be Your Highness's residence. Your Highness can stay as long as you wish."

Lu Yan'an smiled and nodded.

"Then take me to the Yanguang Tower to see it for myself!" Lu Yan'an said to Mingluo.

"That is my wish, I dare not ask!" Mingluo said with a smile, and then led Lu Yan'an for hundreds of kilometers in a short time, arriving at the exquisitely decorated pale white Yanguang Tower.

Lu Yan'an looked up at the Yanguang Tower, which was entirely pale white and hundreds of kilometers high.

"Your Highness from the Virtual Universe Company!" A deep voice resounded in Lu Yan'an's mind, "I am the Guardian the Aurora Statue in the Yanguang Tower. You have the opportunity to meditate alone in the Yanguang Tower for a month. Do you wish to begin your meditation now?"

"Let's do it now," Lu Yan'an nodded.

"Good."

The Guardian interrupted some of the Aurora Race members who were currently studying the statue and expelled them from the Yanguang Tower. Perhaps these Aurora Race members hadn't used up their study time yet, but because of humans, they could only continue studying a month later.

"Your Highness?"

"How unlucky we are! We actually ran into His Highness from the Virtual Universe Company who came on a mission."

"I was just getting into my meditation when I was interrupted. I still have three days left to meditate, but I can only do so again in a month."

"Really."

"Who can blame them when the other party is the chosen one of Virtual Universe Company!"

Dozens of Aurora Race emerged from the Yanguang Tower, glanced at Lu Yan'an and his group, and then began whispering amongst themselves. Clearly, they were aware of the Virtual Universe Company's situation, but strangely, they readily accepted Lu Yan'an! They didn't even dare cause trouble, and after a brief discussion, they all left.

"Then I'll go and study it, and see if the effect of this study is really as strong as you described!" After Lu Yan'an finished speaking, he walked directly towards the entrance of Yanguang Tower.

Upon entering the Yanguang Tower, one is immediately struck by its dazzling light, as if a massive source of light is radiating heat in all directions.

"Your Highness from the Virtual Universe Company, I am the Guardian the Yanguang Tower. You may call me the Guardian." A man shrouded in darkness introduced himself in a weathered tone.

The Guardian, whose appearance was concealed by the domain, only revealed a pair of pale purple eyes. Apart from that, Lu Yan'an could not obtain any other information about his appearance.

On the other side, there was a long spear stuck in the ground, its sharp tip gleaming, giving anyone who saw it a chilling, stabbing sensation.

The invisible pressure that Lu Yan'an felt was no less than that of Hisoka, the leader of the Guard Army in his own Original Secret Realm!

"Guardian!" Lu Yan'an bowed slightly in greeting.

"Go in," the Guardian Yanguang Tower said in a low voice.

Lu Yan'an nodded and walked forward without saying anything more.

Walking straight down the dark passage, you soon enter a vast hall, where a strangely shaped statue stands.

From Mingluo's previous description of the Aurora Statue, Lu Yan'an understood that what was in front of him was probably the "Aurora Statue" mentioned in the mission requirements.

"This, this is..." Lu Yan'an maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but inside he was in turmoil.

He stared intently ahead, scrutinizing every mark on the statue, as if witnessing the constant fluctuations and reorganizations of the Origin Law of Light!

"This is the true law of light!" Lu Yan'an seemed to vaguely see how this Bright Star was formed countless years ago under the influence of the fundamental law of light in the universe! Those engravings completely stirred Lu Yan'an's understanding of the fundamental law of light. The essence of the analysis of the law of light, which had slowly stagnated after leaving Chaos City, slowly began to move again.

The gradual progress in analyzing the essence of the Origin Law of Light has ignited an intense passion within Lu Yan'an!

The form is secondary to the spirit, and although the shape of this statue is quite strange, the Origin Law of Light interpreted in every engraving are what are worth comprehending! With such clear fluctuations of the laws, what need is there for auxiliary secret techniques? At this moment, Lu Yan'an felt that he looked down on the comprehension of those Aurora Race. The greatest treasure was right in front of them, yet they entered the treasure mountain empty-handed and gained nothing!
