Marquis-Level Combat Strength
Wind-Thunder Secret Realm Tang Ping gazed once more at the colossal golden pagoda that soared into the sky, reaching a height of over 90,000 miles, his tense nerves finally relaxed somewhat.
To be honest, although Earth is theoretically absolutely safe, he always felt uneasy when he was there. Only when he was in this Wind-Thunder Secret Realm, with this Supreme Treasure golden pagoda protecting him, could he truly put his mind at ease.
Even if Cosmic Overlord were to arrive here, the golden tower would be strong enough to withstand his self-destruction. As long as they could buy that little bit of time, their Grandmaster would have a chance to Reverse Time and Space and resurrect him.
As for his two children, he didn't need to worry about them too much.
They are currently only at the Planetary Rank, and have no value in Soul Enslavement. Even if they were to perish by accident, they would only need to wait for the distant future, until the day when Matriarch Xu Xin takes control of the Source World, to be able to revive them.
This is fatherly love—deeply thoughtful and profound, as weighty as mountains and rivers!
As for the hardships the children may encounter in the process, well, as the ancients said, "They are forged in the deep mountains by a thousand hammers and chisels, and are burned by raging fire as if nothing is wrong." Children, how can they truly grow up without experiencing some trials and tribulations? Flowers in a greenhouse can never withstand the storms of the universe.
Shaking his head, Tang Ping temporarily put these sentimental thoughts aside.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings!
He also has his own path to follow, a path of cultivation, like rowing against the current. Only by wielding greater power can he protect the life he desires and create a truly peaceful world for his children.
Sitting cross-legged, Tang Ping raised his eyes and looked at the seemingly timeless Wind-Thunder Chaos Stele not far away. Around the stele, the violent Wind and Thunder Laws and thunder and the obscure Time Law intertwined into a net, and the dense patterns flowing between them revealed the profound mysteries of the universe's origin.
He would sometimes focus his mind and absorb the Xueluo Crystal around him, using their immense energy to hone his will and continuously improve his proficiency with the Golden Beast Body.
They weren't idle for even a second.
Of course, the father's care was never absent. He specially instructed the advanced Smart Sprite Little Love to simulate his image and communicate with his children in daily life, so that he could know their recent situation and urge them to cultivate diligently and study attentively.
This kind of "custodial fatherly love" is surprisingly well-received by the children, who even feel that their dad's "trip" is worthwhile.
Going out to work is actually much more reliable than before.
Upon receiving Little Love's summary, Tang Ping realized that the girls seemed to have some misunderstanding about him; he was clearly very reliable!
I've written this down in my Little Notebook!
Time flies, and years pass quickly.
Fifty years later, both his children broke through to the Star Rank, and Tang Ping also successfully refined a Xueluo Crystal, causing his Gene Multiplier to soar to 22 times. His mastery of the "Sword Three" secret technique also reached 60%, and he was not far from Law Comprehension at the Marquis Level.
A hundred years later, the three children had reached the peak of the Star Rank and began to train at the Luo Family. Sometimes they joined the guard team to accumulate practical experience, and sometimes they devoted themselves to cultivating the Luo Family's secret techniques, making rapid progress.
Tang Ping's Gene Multiplier has also steadily increased to 23 times.
Five hundred years have passed quietly. The three Tang An siblings have each entered the Universe Origin Laws. Their talents have already alarmed the Ganwu Dojo, which has included them in its selection list, intending to recruit them as elite students.
However, the Luo Family offered them a more favorable option, specifically hiring a World Lord Rank expert recognized by the laws to personally teach them cultivation.
At the same time, the rate at which Tang Ping's Gene Multiplier increased gradually slowed down.
Now, the test of his will to continue fusing with the Xueluo Crystal has reached its limit. Fortunately, his will has already reached the threshold of becoming Marquis Rank, and even though the progress is slow, it is still steadily advancing. At this time, his Gene Multiplier has reached 28 times, and his control over "Sword Three" has exceeded 80%. He is only one step away from Law Comprehension of the Marquis Level.
A thousand years later, the universe and stars still flow silently through the long river of time, never stopping for anyone.
Above No. 1 Cultivation Room.
The Wind-Thunder Chaos Stele stands silently, its surface covered with twisted and intertwined patterns. At times, the gentle whispers of the wind flow out, and at other times, the deafening roars of thunder reverberate. Every pattern and every unusual sound is the most direct manifestation of the Universe Origin Laws, drawing people in.
In the center of the Cultivation Room, Tang Ping's aura was as deep and profound as an abyss.
At this moment, he has fused with 90 Xueluo Crystal, and his Gene Multiplier has reached 30 times! For a World Lord to possess such a level of gene strength is an extremely rare existence in the Primal Universe.
Even more terrifying is that the high Gene Multiplier not only brought him powerful combat strength, but also made him comprehend the Universe Origin Laws 30 times faster than ordinary people.
What others could barely touch the edge of the laws of nature took a hundred years for them, he could easily comprehend in just over a year.
This is truly a gift from heaven!
At this moment, Tang Ping's mind was completely immersed in the Origin Land of the Universe.
The flow of the Time Law became clearly discernible in his perception; every passing second carried a unique rhythm, as if he could witness firsthand the ceaseless, unstoppable trajectory of the river of time.
The Space Law are even more obscure and difficult to understand. Sometimes they shrink to the size of a mustard seed, and sometimes they expand into the endless void. Between the illusion and reality, and between the unpredictable changes, lies the most fundamental structural mystery of the universe.
The wind's agility, speed, and all-pervasiveness, and the thunder's ferocity, destruction, and unparalleled dominance—two completely different yet complementary forces of law—both surged into his mind, allowing him to ponder and comprehend them.
Tang Ping focused all his energy on the core secret technique "Sword Four" passed down by Wind-Thunder Venerable.
He had already mastered the Sword One Sword Two, Sword Three techniques to a high degree, but he was always just one step short of mastering the fourth technique, unable to even begin to grasp its essence.
He had repeatedly studied the notes left by Wind-Thunder Venerable: The wonder of Sword Four lies in "fusion". Fusion of the power of heaven and earth, fusion of the mystery of the laws, fusion of one's own way. Tang Ping had tried several methods of fusion, but he could never achieve that state of perfect harmony and seamless integration.
Until this moment, with the continuous blessing of the Wind-Thunder Chaos Stele, his understanding of the Space Law has become increasingly profound. Suddenly, he had a thought: to use the Space Law to enter the sword, to borrow the power of space, and to merge with the might of Wind-Thunder and thunder!
Once the idea took hold, Tang Ping no longer hesitated.
He slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of pale blue Wind-Thunder sword intent quietly condensed at his fingertips. Within the sword intent, strands of silver spatial power darted and moved like nimble snakes, attempting to merge with the Wind-Thunder sword intent.
At first, the two were completely incompatible, like fire and water.
The untamed power of space clashed and collided with the violent and intense sword intent of wind Wind-Thunder, causing his fingertips to tremble slightly. Tiny spatial cracks quietly appeared around his fingertips, only to vanish quickly.
But Tang Ping did not give up.
His 30-fold speed of Law Comprehension was on full display at this moment. He calmed his mind and adjusted the fusion ratio of sword intent and laws bit by bit, meticulously perceiving every subtle change.
The four Supreme Law time, space, wind, and thunder gradually progressed in his mind, intertwining, corroborating, and complementing each other.
I don't know how much time passed; perhaps it was just a snap of the fingers, or perhaps several days. In this focused practice, time had long lost its meaning.
When Tang Ping once again focused his mind and drew upon his sword intent and spatial power, the wisp of silver spatial power finally ceased its resistance, as if it had found its home, and perfectly merged into the pale blue Wind-Thunder sword intent.
In an instant, the space in the entire Cultivation Room suddenly twisted violently, and countless Wind-Thunder sword energies containing the power to tear space appeared out of thin air, revolving around him endlessly like a sky full of stars.
Wherever the sword energy passed, ripples spread through the void, as if a fragile piece of paper could be torn apart at any moment.
"It's done!" Tang Ping suddenly opened his eyes, overjoyed.
He could clearly sense that this was a completely new realm of cultivation. The sword intent contained the profound mysteries of the Time Law, and each sword aura possessed the terrifying power to tear through the void, its power more than double that of the previous three forms!
The ultimate secret technique, Sword IV, beginner level, 100 times the power of a Realm Lord! A Marquis-level expert's understanding of the laws, even among the Primal Secret Realm Lord-level geniuses of the Virtual Universe Company, this level is considered rare.
This also means that as long as he breaks through to the Immortal realm, he will directly possess the combat power of Marquis Rank.
Of course, even without breaking through, with the 1000 times the World Lord Power and the 30 times the Gene Multiplier from the Soldier Armor, he can now exert the combat power of 1000 + 100 * 30 = 4000 Peak World Lord Rank.
So powerful, even an ordinary Marquis Rank would incur his hatred upon encountering him.
Terrifying!
