Comprehending the Essence of the Law of Fire Origin

"You have passed the C-Rank Assessment."

A mechanical voice rang in Lin Yuan's ears.

The figure of the man in black, who had just turned into ashes, reappeared once more.

"Young man, congratulations! Having passed the C-Rank Assessment, your strength is already among the best of the Universe Level in the Holy Land." A congratulatory voice came from the man in black's featureless face.

"Your comprehension of the Law of Fire Origin is already very deep, far exceeding other cultivators at your stage. In terms of comprehension of a single lower-tier origin law alone, you rank among the top of all Universe Level cultivators who have passed the C-Rank Assessment throughout history," the man in black said to Lin Yuan.

"With your current strength, there is no problem for you to enter the top ten of the Peak Warrior Tournament. As for your specific ranking, it will depend on the standard of the geniuses in that particular batch."

"Very well, I wish you to go even further on your path of cultivation." After the man in black finished speaking, his figure vanished instantly.

As expected, there have been countless geniuses with talent throughout the long years. My current comprehension of the Law of Fire Origin can only be ranked among the top, not the absolute peak. As for my level of comprehension in the Law of Space Origin, it is not even worth mentioning, Lin Yuan thought to himself after hearing the man in black's words.

However, Lin Yuan was not discouraged. He had once been a slave who struggled just to survive, and now he had become one of the top two geniuses of the Universe Level in the Holy Land.

Once his first Clone finished gestating, both his speed of law comprehension and his strength would undergo a qualitative leap.

Lin Yuan left the Assessment Space.

Just as he emerged from the Assessment Space, he found that the World Lord Fenyu was waiting for him outside.

"Lord Fenyu." Lin Yuan greeted him politely.

"Lin Yuan, I watched the live combat footage of your assessment just now. Congratulations on passing the C-Rank Assessment," World Lord Fenyu said with a smile.

"To be honest, when you first entered the Holy Land, I only thought you had a chance to pass the C-Rank Assessment. I didn't expect that in just a few decades, you would be able to defeat the man in black from the C-Rank Assessment without sustaining any injuries. Your growth speed is truly astonishing."

"My Lord, it is all thanks to the good guidance of my teacher and the mentors of the Holy Land," Lin Yuan replied modestly.

"You kid." World Lord Fenyu laughed heartily. "You're already ranked first among the Universe Level in the Holy Land, yet you're still so humble."

"By the way, before the Peak Warrior Tournament, the Nine Flame Kingdom Lord will personally come to the Holy Land. Since you have passed the C-Rank Assessment, you will be able to receive one-on-one guidance from the Kingdom Lord. This opportunity is extremely precious, so you must seize it well," Fenyu instructed.

"Yes, my Lord," Lin Yuan replied solemnly.

In the real world, in front of the main hall of Marquis Yuankun's palace.

"Teacher." Lin Yuan bowed respectfully.

"Come in." Marquis Yuankun's tone was as calm as ever.

Lin Yuan entered the main hall.

Over these sixty years, Lin Yuan had been unreserved; whenever he encountered parts of the Law of Earth Origin that he could not understand or grasp, he would come directly to visit his teacher.

Now, Lin Yuan had already grasped 27 of the more difficult mysteries of the Law of Earth Origin and had begun to comprehend the 72 most difficult ones.

Although the progress was much slower than that of the Law of Fire Origin, the situation would change once his Clone finished gestating. He wondered how much his comprehension speed of the Law of Earth Origin would increase then.

"Teacher, your disciple just passed the C-Rank Assessment of the Holy Land's Universe Level today," Lin Yuan said.

"Oh?" Marquis Yuankun nodded slightly. "I was wondering why you had been delaying the C-Rank trial; your strength twenty years ago was already enough to give it a try. It shouldn't have taken much effort this time, right?"

"Yes, Teacher. This time, your disciple relied on my comprehension of the Law of Fire Origin to overwhelm my opponent, and it did not take much time."

"Hmm. Although the man in black in the C-Rank Assessment can achieve a perfect fusion of domains, his law comprehension is certainly not as good as yours."

"At your current level, the influence brought by domains is no longer that significant."

"Ordinary Domain Lords might still rely on domains in battle, but by the time you advance to Domain Lord, the role of a domain will be very small, so there is no need to deliberately study domains now."

"In the Peak Warrior Tournament, you might encounter opponents with deep attainments in domains, but with your strength, you should be able to handle them. Geniuses who rely on domain strength to achieve high rankings at the Star Level or Universe Level will find their advantages diminishing as their cultivation realms increase," Marquis Yuankun patiently explained to Lin Yuan.

"Teacher, your disciple has obtained an opportunity for one-on-one guidance from the Kingdom Lord. Which type of technique should I ask the Kingdom Lord about?" Lin Yuan inquired.

"The Nine Flame Kingdom Lord is a Space Venerable who has fully grasped the entire Law of Space Origin. It would be most appropriate for you to ask him questions related to the Law of Space Origin. His guidance on a technique would be millions of times more profound than mine!" Marquis Yuankun suggested.

So the Nine Flame Kingdom Lord is a Space Venerable; that is perfect, Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Once Lin Yuan's first Clone finished gestating, he would still have a few years to comprehend the Law of Space Origin and practice techniques containing deeper mysteries of the Law of Space Origin. When he encountered problems he didn't understand, he could just ask the Nine Flame Kingdom Lord before the Peak Warrior Tournament.

The guidance of a high-level Venerable was extremely precious.

The difficulty of comprehending the final few mysteries of the Law of Fire Origin skyrocketed.

Ten years later, on this day, Lin Yuan finally grasped all 108 mysteries of the Law of Fire Origin.

[You have grasped the 108 essences of the Law of Fire Origin. You have obtained one lottery chance. Would you like to draw?]

"Draw!" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the No. 22 common reward: a piece of Void Flame Profound Gold. Would you like to claim it?]

"Claim!"

"Swish!"

A piece of metal appeared in Lin Yuan's hand, looking like a gold brick.

"So heavy? But I seem to have seen this name before. Right, I saw it in the instruction manual for the Liu Li previously."

Lin Yuan immediately recalled the cultivation materials that the metallic lifeform Liu Li could utilize; Void Flame Profound Gold was precisely one of the materials Liu Li required to break through to the World Lord realm, and it was considered a relatively top-tier material at that.

At this moment, a glob of dark golden liquid condensed on Lin Yuan's arm and began to edge closer to the piece of metal in his hand.

The dark golden liquid wrapped around the Void Flame Profound Gold bit by bit as if it liked it very much and wanted to devour the metal, but after struggling for a long time, the Void Flame Profound Gold remained completely unscathed.

Liu Li transmitted a feeling of slight confusion.

Lin Yuan looked at Liu Li and couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.

"Stop trying, Liu Li. You're only at Universe Level 9 right now; you can't devour this metal yet." Lin Yuan stroked the slippery little dark golden ball on his hand.

"I'll give it to you later, don't be in such a rush."

After a good while, Liu Li finally returned to Lin Yuan's body with reluctance, transforming into a layer of battle armor skin.

Lin Yuan checked the price, noting that this piece of Void Flame Profound Gold was worth about ten thousand Hunyuan Units, and smiled helplessly.

This amount already reached the entire net worth of an ordinary Immortal, but for the current Lin Yuan, it was nothing of note.
