Burning Universe Flame Wild Axe

After class, Instructor Moke answered a few more of Lin Yuan's questions about the Law of Fire Origin before leaving.

After leaving the Teaching Tower, Lin Yuan went straight to the Law Tower for the Law of Fire Origin to cultivate, making the most of what he had just learned in those two lessons.

Lin Yuan was already highly attuned to the Law of Fire Origin, and cultivating in the tower made his insights come several times faster.

Lin Yuan's understanding of the Law of Fire Origin advanced rapidly. After cultivating in the Law Tower for two months, he had basically mastered the nine simplest mysteries of the Law of Fire Origin.

"It's Instructor Moke's class again today."

Lin Yuan's consciousness returned from his meditations.

"Right, I've been so busy cultivating lately that I forgot to look at the list Instructor Moke sent me."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. He ordered his Smart Optical Brain to open the email Instructor Moke had sent him some time ago.

The Nine Great Divine Weapons of the Warrior's Axe Class:

Silence Time Axe: A divine weapon forged by combining the two Origin Laws of "Light" and "Time."

Space-Shattering Gold-Splitting Axe: A divine weapon forged by combining the two Origin Laws of "Metal" and "Space."

Burning Universe Flame Wild Axe: A divine weapon forged by combining the two Origin Laws of "Fire" and "Space."

Heaven Opener: A divine weapon forged by combining the two Higher Origin Laws of "Time" and "Space."

Looking at these axes, Lin Yuan felt a strong urge to get his hands on one.

These weapons were on the same level as Luo Feng's Yan Shen Armament. Even Luo Feng had found training with the Yan Shen Armament far from easy.

Lin Yuan wanted a weapon of that caliber, too, but wasn't sure he could wield one.

Then he thought, If little fatty Cohen can use the Blood Edge God Weapon, what's stopping me?

Of them, the only one he could use was the Burning Universe Flame Wild Axe, which combined the Origin Laws of "Fire" and "Space."

Lin Yuan carefully read the details of the Burning Universe Flame Wild Axe.

The Burning Universe Flame Wild Axe was dark red, with the appearance of solidified magma. When wielded, pale flames would blaze along the edges of its blade.

The Burning Universe Flame Wild Axe had nine levels.

First Level: Star Fire. Extremely difficult to master at Star Level, but if mastered, one would be invincible among those of the same level.

Second Level: Scorching Flow. Difficult to master at Universe Level, but if mastered, winning a thousand life-and-death battles at the Great Axe Arena would be no challenge.

Third Level: Burning Sky. Extremely difficult to master at Universe Level, but if mastered, one would be invincible among those of the same level.

Eighth Level: Ash Extinguishing Void. A Ninth-Rank World Lord who mastered it would be considered invincible among the World Lords of a Universe Country.

Ninth Level: Immortal Can Also Be Defeated. At its peak, a Peak World Lord wielding it could contend with an Immortal God. Almost no World Lord could master it.

The information concluded by noting that the Burning Universe Flame Wild Axe was exceptionally difficult to learn, and was not recommended for cultivators lacking talent or comprehension.

After reading the details, Lin Yuan went straight to the Holy Land Mall and searched for "Burning Universe Flame Wild Axe." It was available for sale, and cost only two Hunyuan Units. Lin Yuan recalled that Luo Feng had paid just over thirty-six thousand Universe Coins for the Yan Shen Armament at the Ganwu Auction, which came to less than four Hunyuan Units.

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan placed an order for one. It was only two Hunyuan Units, after all.

In the days that followed, Lin Yuan spent most of his time comprehending the Laws of Fire and Earth and mastering the two giant axes. He devoted the rest to comprehending the Law of Space Origin, practicing the Secret Technique Ten Thousand Shadow Steps, and training in the soul secret technique Ten Thousand Hearts Undying.

Lin Yuan immersed himself in cultivation, and four years passed in the blink of an eye.

During those four years, Lin Yuan spent nearly all his available cultivation time in the Law Tower for the Law of Fire Origin. His understanding of the Law of Fire Origin had advanced by leaps and bounds: he had basically mastered its 27 more difficult mysteries and had begun studying its 72 most difficult ones.

As for the Law of Earth Origin, he had mastered its nine simplest mysteries and several of the more difficult ones. His progress was much slower than with the Law of Fire Origin.

Every so often, Lin Yuan would gather up questions about his cultivation and ask his teacher, Marquis Yuankun, or Instructor Moke. Moke was astonished by how quickly Lin Yuan was making progress.

One day, Lin Yuan was practicing the Thousand Mountain Secret Code in his training room, as usual.

"Beep. Master, you have received an email."

Lin Yuan stopped training and checked the message. It was from the Virtual Universe Company:

"Dear three-star customer of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, the Nine Flames Auction will be held in two days. This is a preliminary auction, and you have automatically been sent an invitation. It will take place in the Nine Flame Continent's exclusive auction hall in the Virtual Universe. If you wish to attend, please arrive promptly."

After receiving the email, Lin Yuan gave it some thought.

The Nine Flame Sacred Land regularly awarded its students funds based on their rankings, so they could purchase resources. The more accessible resources were all available in the Nine Flame Sacred Land's mall. But the transactions would be recorded, and any particularly outrageous spending would surely arouse suspicion.

By contrast, auctions hosted by the Virtual Universe Company completely protected their customers' privacy. Unless some big shot personally investigated, no one would know about his transactions.

Even so, Lin Yuan felt he couldn't put treasures on the level of Purple Fire Ape Wine up for sale. No one might check his transaction records now, but that didn't mean they wouldn't in the future.

If he entered the Core Layer of the Great Axe Arena someday and attracted the attention of important figures, they could easily look up those records. It would be a hassle to explain.

After all, Purple Fire Ape Wine only appeared occasionally in the Outer-Domain Battlefield's military merit treasure vault, and required an enormous amount of military merit to redeem. The Purple Fire Ape clans lived outside Human Territory, so there was no way a little Universe Level cultivator could have gotten his hands on something like that.

Lin Yuan currently had more than 7,600 Hunyuan Units in his bank account, just shy of qualifying as a four-star customer.

Lin Yuan considered what he might need to buy.

He already had weapons and secret techniques, all of them suited to him, so he didn't need anything else for now.

He had no interest in planets or territories, either. All Lin Yuan wanted was to focus on cultivation.

After considering it from every angle, Lin Yuan decided there were two things he needed most.

First, treasures that could improve his affinity for the Laws or help strengthen his will.

Second, the remains of creatures that could serve as candidates for a clone.

Lin Yuan hadn't received any new lottery opportunities in the past four years. He felt his progress in the Law of Fire Origin had been rapid, yet he still hadn't met the requirements for another draw.

As for the strength of his will, Purple Fire Ape Wine could improve the soul, and drinking two cups had indeed strengthened his will. But over the past four years, he hadn't spent much time practicing the secret technique Ten Thousand Hearts Undying.

Lin Yuan felt that in his upcoming cultivation, he should shift more of his focus toward strengthening his will.
