I'm a Pro at Living Off My Parents
The Wind-Thunder Secret Realm is one of the secret cultivation grounds deep within the Human Race Territory.
In the void of deep space, a pale blue ripple suddenly appeared.
The next second, a giant fish covered in moon-white scales burst forth from the void, its fins gently stirring up a shower of stardust.
The moment it flicked its tail fin, the void in front of it collapsed with a roar, and a pitch-black wormhole instantly formed. The giant fish moved as nimbly as an arrow, darting into it in an instant and disappearing into the endless darkness.
"Activate 100% simulated exterior view." A clear voice rang out from inside the cabin; it belonged to Wind-Thunder Venerable sat in the main seat.
The next moment, the starship's portholes became transparent, revealing the entire secret realm before everyone's eyes.
There is not an inch of land here, only endless, raging winds howling, and purplish-black thunderstorm clouds like boiling ink, dyeing the entire world a deathly dark hue.
At times, towering black tornadoes rise from the ground, their vortexes spewing out all-consuming darkness; at other times, bolts of lightning thousands of kilometers thick rip through the sky, black lightning whips carrying an aura of destruction, purple electric snakes carrying violent energy, and even seven-colored divine lightning pouring down like a galaxy.
Tang Ping clung to the porthole, his eyes wide. "Master, is this place—are you sure it's safe to stay in? What if we get struck by lightning and turned to charcoal the moment we step outside?"
Upon hearing this, Wind-Thunder Venerable puffed out his chest, his small face full of pride. "Why not? Every year, countless core disciples from the top Human Race forces are scrambling to apply for training."
This secret realm was personally explored by me back then, and now I have complete control over it. It contains three Supreme Treasure that cannot be obtained anywhere else.
She stretched out her slender fingers and listed them one by one. "Firstly, every wisp of wind and every bolt of lightning in this secret realm contains Laws of Origin. The speed at which you comprehend the Wind and Thunder Laws here is at least ten times that of the outside world;
Secondly, the secret realm will periodically give birth to Wind-Thunder Spirit Bead, which, when integrated into the body, can directly solidify the foundation of the laws. If you are lucky, you may also encounter Companion Sprite, which is a top-level servant creature that assists in the development of the World Lord World;
Thirdly, the Wind and Thunder Laws at the core of the secret realm collide and merge to the extreme, even the Time Origin will be manifested. Not only is it convenient to comprehend, but Time Secret Treasure will also occasionally appear. These are the kind of good things that even King-Rank Immortal would fight tooth and nail for.
"You've really hit the jackpot by staying here with your two Daoist partners for so long."
Tang Ping's eyes instantly lit up like two stars, and he quickly bowed respectfully, his tone full of admiration. "Master, your divine might is boundless!"
"Hmph." Wind-Thunder Venerable snorted lightly, turned around and looked out the window with his hands behind his back, deliberately adopting a profound and unfathomable posture, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
"Boom!" "Sizzle!"
The raging Wind-Thunder relentlessly battered the starship's hull. An ordinary Universe Level powerhouse would likely struggle to even stand in such an environment. But this G9-Level Starship, shaped like a white fish, remained as stable as a mountain. Not only was it unscathed, but the values on its energy dashboard were also slowly rising, indicating that it was able to absorb the power of the Wind-Thunder and thunder and convert it into energy.
With a gentle flick of its tail, the giant fish propelled the starship through the void as if by Teleportation, traversing a distance of millions of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Tang Ping watched with envy, thinking to himself: With such a top-tier starship, one could travel the entire universe without fear.
Wind-Thunder Venerable was incredibly perceptive; he immediately noticed the gaze, his brows furrowing instantly, and alarm bells rang in his mind.
This starship was a treasure she had begged and pleaded with her master to obtain. Its defensive capabilities were comparable to top- Heavy Treasure, and more importantly, its design was exceptionally beautiful. It was the apple of her eye.
Wind-Thunder Venerable's mind raced, and he immediately adopted a magnanimous demeanor. "You brat, if you can break through the Primordial Primal Tongtian Mountain level and become a peerless genius that my Human Race encounters only once in tens of millions of eras, I will bestow upon you a Flight Palace-Level Heavy Treasure. But this Little White Fish, don't even think about it!"
"It's a deal!" Tang Ping suddenly looked up, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
He then realized that his seemingly petite master was actually a wealthy woman with hidden talents. With the ability to casually bestow such Heavy Treasures, even if he had never seen her name on the list of Human Race Cosmic Overlord, her strength was absolutely unfathomable.
Seeing his disciple's confident expression, Wind-Thunder Venerable secretly rejoiced.
This kid, just like his younger self, was full of energy, but he had no idea how terrifying the Primal Tongtian Mountain was. That place was a land of despair that buried the dreams of countless geniuses.
Moments later, the starship finally arrived at the core of the secret realm.
Tang Ping looked up and was instantly speechless with shock at the sight before him. A Heavy Treasure, hundreds of millions of kilometers high, floated in the center of the Wind-Thunder. The pagoda was gilded, and every tile radiated a dazzling golden light. In the dim secret realm, it was like a Yongheng sun, the only bright spot in the world.
"Wow!" Tang Ping couldn't help but exclaim.
Such a sight indicates an absolute Top-Tier Heavy Treasure.
Wind-Thunder Venerable curled his lip, his tone carrying a hint of disdain. "This is the God-Suppressing Tower. I obtained it casually when I was exploring the secret realm back then. It's just a decent ordinary Palace Supreme Treasure."
The design is too flashy; I don't like it, so I just left it here to suppress the secret realm, and let it automatically collect the spirit orbs and Elf that are born. If you like it, I'll give it to you when you break through to the Venerable realm in the future."
The little girl spoke casually, but her words carried a strong air of dangling a carrot in front of her.
"Huh?" Tang Ping was completely dumbfounded.
Supreme Treasure so casually? His master's extravagance far exceeded his imagination.
He's going to be a professional freeloader from his parents!
The next moment, Wind-Thunder Venerable waved her jade hand lightly, and the White Fish Starship instantly shrank to the size of a mustard seed and was stored in her storage ring. At the same time, the space beneath everyone's feet distorted, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared inside the God-Suppressing Tower.
The first floor of the God-Suppressing Tower is paved with pure gold, and it is so vast that it seems to have no boundaries.
Amazingly, this place has been transformed into a fantastical forest city, where countless towering ancient trees intertwine their branches, naturally forming houses, streets, and palaces, with luminous spirit flowers adorning the entwined vines, creating a vibrant and lively scene.
The instant the starship disappeared, a unified sound of kneeling resounded from the ground.
A vast, dark mass of beings stretched to the horizon. There were Feathered Person with lightning-spreading wings, Tree Spirit wielding wind blades, and powerful Alien Race of various forms. All of them prostrated themselves on the ground, their voices shaking the heavens and earth. "Greetings, Master!"
Wind-Thunder Venerable, along with Tang Ping and the others, hovered in mid-air, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the beings below.
Tang Ping stared at the scene before him, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
Countless lives bowed in submission, life and death were decided in a single thought. At this moment, he finally understood why people throughout history have been willing to give up everything for power.
"This is Tang Ping, my disciple." Wind-Thunder Venerable's clear voice pierced through layers of space, reaching the ears of every living being. "From now on, when you see him, it will be as if you were seeing me!"
"Whoosh~"
A louder chorus of kneeling resounded once more, as countless beings pressed their foreheads to the ground, respectfully shouting, "Greetings, Your His Highness!"
The third level of the God-Suppressing Tower.
The high-ranking Wind Elf leading the way walked ahead, her body covered only by a few petals of pure white, woven from moonlight. Her skin was as white as snow, gleaming with a delicate, porcelain-like luster in the dim light, and her long hair, which reached her waist, was a pure, icy blue.
Tang Ping led his two wives behind him, his eyes involuntarily scanning their surroundings.
The Elf nurtured in this Wind-Thunder Secret Realm are born no bigger than the palm of your hand, with round ears and pink cheeks, even more endearing than spirit pets. However, as their cultivation accumulates, their forms will grow along with their Law Comprehension.
As the darlings of the wind element, they have a 30% amplification when casting wind-based secret techniques, and their speed of comprehending the Time Law is twice that of ordinary cultivators. Their only drawback is that, as native beings of the secret realm, breaking through to the Immortal Realm is extremely difficult.
The Elf before them had grown into the tall, slender figure of an adult woman, meaning she was a true World Lord Rank being.
"Tsk, World Lord Rank is something else, it's huge!" Tang Ping's gaze inadvertently swept over the Elf's slender and well-proportioned figure, and he murmured in amazement.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone gently pinched the soft flesh on her side, with very little force.
He straightened his back without changing his expression.
With his current level of World Lord Rank's will, this pain is nothing more than a tickle. Besides, she's dressed so beautifully precisely for others to see. If he didn't look, wouldn't he seem unromantic?
As for his master, he had long since disappeared under the pretext of "investigating the unusual movements of the Alien Race." Before leaving, he only left behind a token, saying that if there were any questions about cultivation, one could simply send an email. This was typical of a hands-off manager, and Tang Ping felt helpless just thinking about it.
How could his master be as lazy as him!
"Your His Highness, the Cultivation Room reserved for experienced disciples are just ahead." The Wind Elf suddenly stopped. "You can use the innermost room permanently for free; it has the best location on the entire third floor."
Tang Ping looked in the direction she was pointing and saw that a huge crack had appeared in the stone wall of the third level of the God-Suppressing Tower. The crack was tens of thousands of kilometers wide, as if it had been cleaved open by Giant Axe, and it was directly facing the core vortex of the Wind-Thunder Secret Realm.
The energy fluctuations there were so powerful they were almost tangible. Countless silver-purple chains of law could be seen weaving and entwining in the void, occasionally bursting out with tiny sparks of electricity. Strange dark gold patterns flowed along the edges of the spatial rifts, with strands of light crisscrossing and each thread adorned with dancing runes, like a collection of breathing stars.
She raised her hand and pointed to the giant stele next to the crack. The stele was hundreds of meters high and was shrouded in blue and purple mist, making it appear and disappear. The patterns on the stele seemed to be alive, slowly writhing in the air currents.
"This is the Wind-Thunder Chaos Stele. The master personally forged two of them, one to be placed here, and the other to be kept in Chaos City for geniuses of all races to study. If Your Highness can comprehend this stele, your understanding of His Highness secret techniques will be comparable to that of my lord."
Tang Ping stared intently at it. The shape of this Chaos Monument was somewhat similar to the Immortal Monument Forest in the Ganwu Secret Realm, but the feeling it gave people was completely different.
As soon as he immersed his consciousness into the patterns on the monument, he was enveloped by a warm and gentle power. Countless insights into the Wind and Thunder Laws flowed into his sea of consciousness like a gentle stream. There was no domineering force of indoctrination; instead, it was like a patient and persuasive teacher, breaking down the obscure principles of the laws into a clear and logical whole.
"Your His Highness," the Wind Elf called softly, interrupting his immersion, "In theory, you can come to comprehend this stele at any time, but the Venerable specifically instructed that if you rely on the guidance of the Chaos Monument for a long time, it may weaken your ability to independently deduce the Origin of Laws."
If path dependence develops, we might be stuck at a certain bottleneck forever.
She paused, then added, "It would be best if you studied it on your own for a while first, and then came back to verify it while still having questions. Only in this way can you truly internalize the insights from the stele and apply them to your own practice."
Tang Ping slowly regained his senses and nodded to indicate that he understood.
However, in his view, the efficiency of this Chaos Monument was not as good as the forced indoctrination of the Ganwu Secret Realm.
His comprehension of the laws relied on Proficiency Talent far exceeding that of ordinary people. In addition, his body was naturally slow to grasp the Time Origin Law. Although the nurturing effect of the Chaos Monument was good, its effectiveness was somewhat slow.
As for the biggest concern others have—the unstable foundation— Tang Ping chuckled inwardly.
Others may spend decades pondering and only manage to grasp the superficial aspects of the Laws of Origin; but he stands on the shoulders of giants, relying on his talent to directly absorb the essence of the insights of great beings, taking each step on a proven and smooth path, with a solid foundation.
Why can't others? Don't ask, the answer is that everyone's constitution is different!
I spent three days figuring out the layout of the Wind-Thunder Secret Realm and memorizing the resource distribution of the three levels of the Suppressing God-Suppressing Tower.
Tang Ping chose the first row of Cultivation Room closest to the core crack and began his seclusion. Huo Wu and Luo Xiaoyu were naturally arranged to sit next to each other in the same row.
As the "Your His Highness" personally appointed by the master of the God-Suppressing Tower, he still has this authority to allocate resources.
This first row of Cultivation Room is the "top-tier resource area" of the secret realm. In addition to being able to immerse oneself in absorbing the power of the Wind-Thunder core laws, it also uses rare and precious materials to create an exclusive law field.
Huo Wu's room is perpetually filled with spiritual mist, and the walls are inlaid with Volcanic Core Jade, making it the most suitable place for her Fire Origin Laws; Luo Xiaoyu's place has Extreme Cold Spirit Spring, which is also suitable for her Water Origin Laws.
The cultivators in the Cultivation Room waited for the high-level Wind Elf to arrive carrying two storage rings as ordered, and Tang Ping was delighted.
The first ring contained his customized upgraded Smart Life core. With it, the upgraded Little Love could still exert the power of a powerful Smart Life in reality even when the internet was disconnected.
The other bottle was filled with a pale golden Nutrient Solution. The patterns on the bottle indicated that these were top-grade Spirit Liquid that could be directly converted into energy at the World Lord Rank, and the total amount was enough for him to rush all the way to the Peak World Lord Rank.
Free!
Tang Ping exclaimed sincerely, "Master's wealth is simply incredible!"
If he doesn't rely on his parents, he'd be letting his master down after all the hard work they put into earning money!
Charge!
