Admonition, Epiphany, Fortune

Marquis Yuankun fixed his gaze on Lin Yuan, his expression earnest.

"Lin Yuan, since you now have ambitions regarding the Law of Space Origin, as your teacher, I must remind you of the experience summarized by countless predecessors."

"For cultivators with ordinary talent, if they only comprehend a lower-tier law, there is still a sliver of possibility to become Immortal. To these cultivators, upper-tier laws are like poison; once they begin to comprehend an upper-tier law and it causes even the slightest wavering in their focus on the lower-tier law, they will completely lose the chance to break through to become Immortal."

"Your talent for comprehending the Law of Earth Origin is extremely high. With my guidance, becoming Immortal will not be too difficult. I suggest you focus your efforts on the Law of Earth for now. When you reach the World Lord stage and have comprehended eight or nine tenths of the Law of Earth Origin, you can then use the remaining time to comprehend the Law of Space Origin."

"That is what I did back then. Only when my comprehension of the Law of Earth Origin was a single step away from being fully realized did I shift my focus to the Law of Space Origin. This ensures the highest probability of achieving Immortality."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"The reason your Third Senior Sister did not achieve Immortality is that she spent too much time on the Law of Space Origin in her early stages."

"Take the core members of the Virtual Universe Company, the geniuses in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and the End-of-the-World Secret Realm, for example. Even if they don't perish, very few manage to become Immortal. Because they consider themselves geniuses and lack a clear understanding of themselves, they make mistake after mistake starting from the moment they choose their Chaos Stele, wasting precious cultivation time."

"I tell you this not because I forbid you from comprehending the Law of Space Origin, but to clarify the pros and cons for you in advance. As for the rest, you must weigh it yourself."

"Watch closely."

Marquis Yuankun raised a hand and pointed forward. Suddenly, 108 small rocky planets appeared in the great hall. These 108 planets rotated slowly around a center point. Suddenly, all the rocky planets vanished, only to reappear a moment later. Marquis Yuankun withdrew his hand, ending the demonstration.

"Although I have gained the recognition of the Law of Space Origin, it is only a primary-level recognition. I have only fully comprehended the 'Body Merging into Void' branch under the broad category of 'Teleportation'."

"After all, you haven't even comprehended a sliver of the Law of Space Origin yet. In this demonstration, you only need to find some inspiration. Remember, comprehension of the Law of Space Origin cannot be forced."

At this moment, Lin Yuan, having watched everything, felt a jolt in his mind. He couldn't help but close his eyes and sit cross-legged. The demonstration by Marquis Yuankun was completely etched into his mind. Lin Yuan replayed the 108 rocky planets in his head over and over, feeling as if he had understood something, yet also as if he hadn't.

Lin Yuan shifted his attention to one of the 108 rocky planets, staring at it intently, feeling a sense of familiarity.

"That's it."

Lin Yuan recalled the Golden Leaf from the Kras Ancient Tree that he had been studying for thirty years. The law patterns contained on the leaf were somewhat similar to the pits and craters on the surface of this rocky planet.

Lin Yuan compared them repeatedly, recalling his understanding of the law patterns on the leaf over the past thirty years. His consciousness gradually became immersed in it, experiencing the wonder within. Lin Yuan slowly gained a sliver of his own understanding of one of the 108 essences of the Law of Space Origin.

"This... an epiphany?"

Marquis Yuankun was full of shock, unable to believe it.

Beside him, Saiwen's eyes were wide enough to pop out.

My junior brother... is his talent even greater than what he showed before? To comprehend a sliver of the mysteries of the Law of Space Origin just by watching a single demonstration? Saiwen thought to himself.

"Do not disturb him; let him comprehend it here."

Marquis Yuankun said to Saiwen with a complex expression.

Three days later.

[You have comprehended a sliver of the Law of Space Origin. You have received one guaranteed 0-10 tier lottery chance. Would you like to draw?]

At this moment, Lin Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, finally returned from his state of comprehension.

"Draw!"

[Congratulations! You have received a 0-tier special reward: the innate secret technique "Clone".]

"0! It's 0!"

Lin Yuan was ecstatic!

"And it's the innate secret technique 'Clone'! The 0-tier reward is actually such a great opportunity."

Lin Yuan chose to store the reward in his System Space. He was curious about what an innate secret technique would look like when stored there. As his consciousness delved into the storage space, he found an extra point of light inside.

Lin Yuan recalled the three clones of Luo Feng and felt full of anticipation for his own future. He had to choose his clones carefully.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes with a smile and stood up.

Marquis Yuankun was sitting on a seat not far away in the hall, while Saiwen stood respectfully to the side.

"Teacher."

Lin Yuan stepped forward and bowed.

"Thanks to your guidance, Teacher, I have successfully comprehended a sliver of the Law of Space Origin."

Marquis Yuankun nodded with satisfaction.

"Your talent is stronger than I imagined, but you must remember not to be arrogant. Do not get too bogged down in the details when comprehending the Law of Space Origin, or you will waste too much time."

"Yes, I will keep your teachings in mind, Teacher."

"Go now, and handle your own affairs first. If you have any confusion regarding your cultivation, you may come to see me at any time."

"Saiwen, take your junior brother to his residence."

"Yes, Teacher."

Lin Yuan and Saiwen respectfully exited the great hall.

Only Marquis Yuankun remained in the hall.

"This little disciple of mine..."

"I originally took a liking to his willpower, his temperament, and the fact that he shares my comprehension of the Law of Earth Origin; I saw a reflection of myself in him. I didn't expect his aptitude to be this high. Could it be that I've truly taken on a genuine genius this time?"

Marquis Yuankun sat alone on the main seat of the great hall, muttering to himself.

"Junior brother, this is the first time I've seen Master be so generous. It seems Master really values you."

The two stopped in front of a small manor.

"Perhaps it's because Master also comes from a background as a Giant Axe Warrior that he is this way," Lin Yuan replied.

"This is your residence. The price was only a little over two million Universe Coins; it's not worth much."

"Junior brother, I am preparing to return to the Seventh Legion. Your talent is formidable, and I look forward to seeing you shine brilliantly in the Peak Warrior Tournament."

"I'll take your kind words to heart, Senior brother. Thank you for looking after me during this time."

"Eh, why be so polite? If anything comes up, Junior brother, you can contact me in the Virtual Universe, haha."

Saiwen gave Lin Yuan a hearty smile, turned around, and left, heading toward the Planet Spaceport.

Lin Yuan looked at his small manor. This was a manor in the main city of Red Flame Planet. Recalling his days as a slave and the time spent with his nerves on edge at the Great Axe Arena, Lin Yuan felt a myriad of emotions.

After suffering for twenty thousand years, he could finally begin to feel and experience the vibrant colors of this world.

"Right."

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered.

"I'm still an undocumented person."

The original owner of Lin Yuan's body was born on a slave planet. From the moment he transmigrated until now, he had never registered for citizenship in any universe nation, and the account he used to log into the Virtual Universe network previously was only a temporary one.

Lin Yuan gave a wry smile and headed toward the Administrative Building in the main city district.
