Inside the stone palace of the God Kingdom Kasolo, Jiang Yao sat cross-legged in front of an ancient stone tablet.

His brows furrowed at times, his face contorted at others. Although Kasolo appeared calm, his tension was palpable in his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the stone tablet suddenly showed a slight change. One of the five crimson flame-shaped runes suddenly faded and dimmed, leaving only a blurry mark.

A hint of surprise appeared on Kasolo's face. "It worked!"

A short while later, Jiang Yao opened his eyes and woke up, his eyes filled with shock.

That was just a brief introduction to <Zhenhuang> by Kasolo. Only when he truly accepts the inheritance can he experience the vast and profound mysteries of the laws contained within <Zhenhuang>, which is simply a heaven-reaching path that points directly to the origin.

It could even be said that <Zhenhuang> turned the original closed-book exam into an open-book exam. The end of the open-book exam is the three supreme mysteries of the laws of space. If one can reach the end of <Zhenhuang>, one can become the Peak King-level, or even higher.

This is indeed a more precious inheritance than the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal. Of course, this is for individuals. For forces and clans, the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal has no limit on the number of times it can be inherited, which is something that <Zhenhuang> can hardly achieve.

Seeing Jiang Yao's dazed expression, Kasolo laughed and said, "Originally, I was thinking that if you couldn't inherit the Zhenhuang, I planned to wait until the Trial of Geniuses in the Three Great Secret Realms more than a hundred years later. If you survived and gained something, I would use the Eye of Zhenhuang to temper your will and soul, and then allow you to undergo the second inheritance."

I never imagined your talent would surpass even Jiuyuan's description. Now that you have successfully accepted the inheritance, I won't bestow too many life-saving items upon you. The 'Zhenhuang Mirror' is the best way to protect yourself.

However, to activate the 'Zhenhuang Mirror,' one needs to at least cross the threshold of the Law of Space. Don't rush, you can continue cultivating here facing the 'Zhenhuang Mirror,' which is equivalent to directly confronting the Origin of Laws Space. Rest assured, it won't take much time and won't delay the Three Great Secret Realms..."

Kasolo stopped speaking before he could finish.

Jiang Yao, whose mind was completely absorbed in the secret techniques of the <Zhenhuang> Inheritance Secret Technique, pointed his finger as he spoke, and a faint mirror light appeared in the void, as if it had crossed the boundary Universe Origin and the God Kingdom, appearing out of thin air.

"You've entered the Origin Law of Space?"

Kasolo was initially surprised, then speechless. Was the Origin Law of Space so easy to comprehend?

Even realm lords whose consciousness can penetrate deep into the source realm don't have such exaggerated abilities, right?

Jiang Yao was actually quite surprised. If the most compatible Origin Law of the Desolate God Bizhang were ranked according to their degree of affinity, it would probably be fire greater than light, far greater than space, and greater than time.

His perception of the fluctuations in the Origin Law of Space has always been rather vague, far less than that of the two laws of fire and light.

In the past two decades, he has only grasped a little of the Origin Law of Space, and is still quite far from crossing the threshold.

Unexpectedly, when Kasolo unleashed the "Zhenhuang Mirror," he was deeply moved by its concise yet extremely clear demonstration of the laws of space.

Furthermore, Kasolo demonstrated profound mysteries such as Mirror Image Clone, Space Seal, and Teleportation through the "Zhenhuang Mirror," and by the time Castor came to his senses, he found that he had unknowingly crossed that threshold.

Jiang Yao no longer cared about his cheap teacher's feelings; he was completely focused on the faintly visible mirror light in front of him. This was a treasure he had obtained when he received the "Zhenhuang Stele" inheritance; it had initially been just a tiny speck of dust that seemed to have no size or weight.

He needs to use his Law Comprehension to unfold this tiny speck of dust and form a mirror.

With a thought, the "Zhenhuang Mirror" entered his soul and instantly reflected his entire sea of consciousness. Using the mirror as a boundary, a new sea of consciousness was generated, with nine small stars rotating within it.

Jiang Yao's entire sea of consciousness seemed to be gathered within the "Zhenhuang Mirror," while outside the mirror was a false sea of consciousness and a false soul reflected by it.

The enemy's Soul Attack can only wreak havoc on the false sea of consciousness reflected by the "Zhenhuang Mirror," destroying the false souls.

Of course, if he wanted, he could also instantly switch spaces and exchange places using the "Zhenhuang Mirror".

Jiang Yao sighed in surprise, "This is far more profound and mysterious than the 'Two-Pole Palace,' Soul Defense Secret Technique passed down by the Ancestor Ling that I saw on Yuluo Island."

Of course, if an enemy who uses Soul Attack against me has a far greater mastery of the Origin Law of Space than I do, then it is possible to find the 'Zhenhuang Mirror' and render this attack ineffective.

However, the 'Zhenhuang Mirror' itself is an unparalleled secret technique for comprehending the laws of space, even more effective than the manifested laws of the Initial Universe. Opponents of the same level or even a whole realm higher than me would probably find it difficult to surpass me in Law Comprehension of space."

Kasolo was still in a state of surprise. He hadn't cared much about Jiang Yao's Law Comprehension. If he could obtain the inheritance of <Zhenhuang>, Law Comprehension laws wouldn't be a problem at all.

The Origin Law of Space revealed by the "Zhenhuang Mirror" are something even realm lords whose consciousness can enter the Origin Land of the Universe to comprehend these laws would covet.

But this kid's comprehension of the Origin Law of Space is simply too outrageous. With such terrifying Law Comprehension these laws, the assistance of the "Zhenhuang Mirror," and the resources of the Virtual Universe Company, if he doesn't perish along the way, he might even surpass me after achieving immortality.

Furthermore, the life-saving abilities of the four ultimate techniques in the <Zhenhuang> inheritance are enough to allow Jiang Yao to avoid the vast majority of dangers, which is the true value of <Zhenhuang>.

There are many secret techniques that can directly lead to the higher laws, but the path to immortality is too dangerous. There are far too many cases where people with profound secret techniques perish halfway through.

The truly valuable inheritance lies in the secret methods that enable geniuses to repeatedly escape danger during their rise to prominence.

Kasolo suppressed his surprise and shock; as a teacher, he still had to maintain the dignity of a mentor.

"<Zhenhuang> is actually a secret technique that combines the skills of a martial artist and Illusionist. The 'Eye of Zhenhuang' can not only amplify your soul, but also unleash powerful Soul Attack and illusions."

The 'Zhenhuang Sacred Body' not only enhances your physical body, but also greatly increases your flight speed.

Add to that the 'Zhenhuang Mirror' —hey, the 'Zhenhuang Mirror's' Mirror Image Clone combined with the 'Eye of Zhenhuang's' illusions create spatial shifts, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, making it one of the most troublesome types of powerful beings.

"Plus your Sui Divine Weapon, you become Controller, warrior, and Illusionist in one, making your attack and survival abilities virtually unmatched among the geniuses of the Three Great Secret Realms."

"But you need to be careful." Kasolo's expression turned serious. "Among the Three Great Secret Realms at the stellar level, there are probably not many who can surpass you in the laws of space, but there are quite a few cosmic-level geniuses who have comprehended the laws of space."

In previous Peak Warrior Tournament, it was not uncommon for cosmic-level geniuses from the Three Great Secret Realms to Nine Great Divine Weapons of the Controller to the third or even Fourth Layer.

There are also those who can unleash the 'Ten Thousand Line Flow' to create Thousand Illusion Body.

If you were to face a cosmic entity that far surpasses you in the Origin Law of Space, the power that the 'Zhenhuang Mirror' could unleash would be greatly diminished.

Therefore, do not become reckless just because you have cultivated the <Zhenhuang> secret technique, or lose your sense of awe and vigilance in front of the cosmic-level geniuses of the Three Great Secret Realms.

Throughout history, the greatest obstacle that has caused geniuses to fall on the path to immortality has not been their lack of survival skills, but rather their arrogance! The second greatest obstacle is greed!

Your teacher is an example of how I, because of a moment of arrogance, ended up failing miserably; your deceased teacher, Jiuyuan, is another example.

The God Lord Jinlun of Yinhu Island, although he lacked the heart of a strongman, was indeed neither arrogant nor greedy; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived for so long.

Therefore, the key to this Three Great Secret Realms trials is the trials themselves—evolving through combat and enhancing your strength, not acquiring any treasures or secret manuals. So don't be greedy, and even more so, don't be arrogant!

Faced with Kasolo's earnest teachings, Jiang Yao could only smile bitterly to himself. He could avoid arrogance, but he couldn't avoid greed.

He also has Bizhang's will suppressed in the Xu Yuan Space. In the three hundred years before the Genius Tournament, Bizhang was powerful enough to turn the tables and take control. Therefore, raising the Xu Yuan Space to the second level was a goal he had to achieve.

He could ignore the other treasures in the Trial God Kingdom, but he would definitely try his best to acquire all the treasures related to the Red-Pattern Crystal.

Jiang Yao can accept that Bizhang is a part of him and that his consciousness is influenced by him, but he still hopes that his self-perception as Jiang Yao in both his past lives will be dominant, and he does not want to be replaced by the will of the Desolate God.

Although he couldn't heed Kasolo's advice, his gratitude towards his teacher was genuine.

Perhaps Kasolo took him as a disciple with ulterior motives, but human relationships are inevitably intertwined with exploitation. Which powerful figure trains a disciple hoping that the disciple will become strong and help them in the future?

Whether it was saving the Lingtong Race or giving him the inheritance of <Zhenhuang>, these were debts of gratitude as heavy as a mountain.

"Disciple thanks Master for your guidance and teachings," Jiang Yao knelt and said, "Disciple will certainly live up to Master's expectations!"

Kasolo smiled and said, "Now that you have obtained the <Zhenhuang> inheritance, I have nothing more to give you. This is also my first time accepting a disciple. You are free to use your time before the Trials of Geniuses in the Three Great Secret Realms."

He then tossed a token to Jiang Yao.

"This is a token for the Divine Kingdom Teleportation channel. From now on, you can freely enter and leave the God Kingdom. If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can also come and ask me..."

Kasolo glanced at the two Controller Divine Weapons that Jiang Yao was carrying on his back, and was about to remind him that he shouldn't focus his energy on things unrelated to the Origin Law of Fire and Origin Law of Space, but then he remembered the scene of this kid stepping into the threshold of the Origin Law of Space.

Let him be. He wants to see what tricks this kid can pull.

Upon thinking of this, Kasolo snorted and said, "I don't care how you cultivate, but there are two things you must do in the next hundred years."

The first step is to master the first level of the 'Eye of Zhenhuang'.

Secondly, I will give you the resources needed to cultivate the first level of the 'Zhenhuang Sacred Body'.

I don't care whether you spare the energy to comprehend other laws, but these two things must be done, understand?

"Yes!"

Jiang Yao's answer was firm and resolute.

An extra chapter will be added tonight.
