"Senior, you comprehend the Lightning Law. Does that mean you've also grasped the Lightning Domain?" Thunder God asked excitedly.
Li Yilin nodded. "That's right. The Lightning Law is indeed one of the laws I comprehend, and I have indeed grasped a domain as well."
One of the laws he comprehended?
Thunder God's eyes instantly widened like lanterns. He raised a thumbs-up. "Senior, you're incredible."
Hong nodded as well.
Li Yilin wore a faint smile. "At your age, I hadn't even seen the edge of a domain, much less comprehended one. Sooner or later, you'll grow to my current level."
That long-lost, familiar Earth-style way of conversing relaxed him considerably, even though they were still using the Universal Language.
"Senior, is comprehending a domain really that difficult?" Perhaps because Li Yilin treated them so naturally, without putting on airs, and kept his aura so well restrained, Thunder God—naturally talkative, sociable, and quick to warm up to people—had dared to ask cultivation questions after chatting for only a short while.
"It is difficult." Li Yilin nodded. "A domain is, as the name suggests, something normally comprehended only by Domain Lords. Whether one comprehends a domain at the Universe Level, Star Level, or even Planetary Level, they can be considered a genius."
"For example, I only comprehended the Lightning Domain at the Universe Level. It was only after reaching the Domain Lord Level that I cultivated it to the ninth level." As he spoke, a trace of sentiment appeared on his face.
"So, the fact that you can comprehend domains at the Planetary Level while still so young naturally makes you geniuses. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered with you." Li Yilin spoke bluntly.
When people—especially those with great status or strength—did something, they usually had a reason. It might be because of entangled interests, emotional fluctuations, or perhaps simply a passing whim—
He had befriended Thunder God and Hong because they came from Earth, possessed firm wills, and had characters that made him feel comfortable.
After chatting for a while, Li Yilin excused himself on the grounds that he had matters to attend to and left the Virtual Universe. He did not know that less than a minute after parting from the Thunder God brothers, Thunder God received news that Luo Feng's trouble on Earth had been resolved.
Thunder God was someone who could never keep things to himself. He immediately sent Luo Feng a message, telling him to enter the Virtual Universe and meet them at the Killing Field.
Why not go find Luo Feng first and then head over together? Because the Virtual Universe's teleportation passageways cost money. Though the price was not high, given their current shortage of cultivation funds, even a small expense was unnecessary.
Elsewhere, Luo Feng, who had received his second brother's message telling him to go to the Killing Field, furrowed his brow in confusion and muttered, "The Killing Field?"
"What kind of place is that?" What could make his second brother act so mysteriously?
"The Killing Field is a special training ground for Fighters and Spirit Readers." A black phantom condensed beside Luo Feng. He was a short figure barely one and a half meters tall, like a child, with two sharp horns on his forehead, blood-red eyes, and black boots.
He was the Intelligent Life Luo Feng had obtained from the inheritance on Mist Island—Babata.
"There, you can have whatever kind of opponent you want. Group battles? One-on-one duels? Battles against World Master powerhouses? The Killing Field can satisfy all of that, though its daily fees are very high."
Babata folded his hands before his chest and crossed his little legs. "The Killing Field is also part of my training plan for you—it's quite a good place."
Even Babata praised it, and Luo Feng could no longer hold himself back.
He immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe. Once he arrived on Black Dragon Mountain Island, he hurried straight for the teleportation passageway.
In less than half an hour, he appeared before the entrance to the Killing Field on Black Dragon Mountain Island. Thunder God and Hong were already waiting at the entrance.
"Third Brother."
"Third."
Thunder God bounced as he greeted him, drawing sidelong glances from those entering and leaving.
"You said you met a powerhouse with Domain Lord Level strength in the Killing Field?" Luo Feng's eyes widened in astonishment.
"That's a Domain Lord Level powerhouse, someone even stronger than Nolanshan. Why would such a person befriend you?" Babata also popped out and circled Thunder God and Hong once, his face full of confusion.
"I'm telling the truth." Thunder God looked utterly serious. Though Hong said nothing, he nodded as well. Luo Feng and Babata exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious too.
"Come to think of it, that senior really is the mildest-tempered among the many powerhouses I've encountered in the Killing Field. Hmm, he also looks the most like an Earthling."
If not for the vertical eye between his brows, people would believe he was an Earthling if someone said so.
"How similar?" Luo Feng became very curious upon hearing that.
"More than two meters tall, black hair and black eyes. His skin is a little pale, about as pale as a woman's, but it's still a normal skin tone. The few times I saw him, he wore purple robes. Their style was no different from the young masters and noble sons of ancient Earth. Anyway, I couldn't tell the difference."
"He likes drinking a beverage called Star Dew Muse Moon. It costs one Hunyuan Unit per bottle. We were lucky enough to have him treat us to it once, and the flavor suited Earthlings' tastes."
At this point, Thunder God smacked his lips, a look of lingering enjoyment flashing across his face.
Star Dew Muse Moon was indeed worthy of costing one Hunyuan Unit a bottle. After drinking it just once, he felt as if his very soul had been cleansed. He had felt light and floating, incomparably comfortable.
"I never expected the two of you to encounter such an opportunity." Babata sighed. "At the Star Level, you've already managed to befriend such a powerhouse. That's the sort of existence that may only be born once among several hundred galaxies."
"You said that powerhouse also comprehends Thunder and Lightning, and Thunder God, you comprehend Thunder and Lightning as well. If you perform well, perhaps that Domain Lord might guide your cultivation. Even a few casual pointers would be an opportunity countless people could only dream of." Babata spoke seriously.
Although he valued Luo Feng, Yunmo Planet's successor, more highly and focused nearly all his attention on him, Thunder God and Hong were, after all, members of Yunmo Planet too. Naturally, he would be glad to see them improve.
Thunder God nodded solemnly. The three brothers gathered together and talked about more matters concerning Earth, interspersed with a few cultivation difficulties—
The three of them began their days of crazed competition in the Killing Field.
Elsewhere.
Having left the Virtual Universe, Li Yilin was just about to begin his cultivation when Blair suddenly sent him a video call.
He accepted it. Blair's graceful, beautiful figure appeared within the cultivation room. His face carried several traces of anxiety. Upon seeing Li Yilin, he barely managed to calm himself and respectfully gave a slight nod. "Please forgive me for rashly disturbing your cultivation, my lord."
"What happened?" Seeing Blair's unease clearly, Li Yilin's expression grew somewhat grave.
As the Wutuo Clan's patriarch, Blair would never disturb him without something major happening. The fact that he had initiated a video call meant there was at least a problem that required Li Yilin himself to resolve.
"Lord Hilda has returned," Blair said. At this point, his brows furrowed slightly, and concern filled his voice.
"He suffered very serious injuries. He could not even control his aura, and the moment he returned, he fell directly into slumber."
At this point, Blair sighed.
"Lord Hilda is a Domain Lord. He has fallen unconscious, and we are deeply worried, yet we have no solution. We could only come to seek your help, my lord."
"Is he sleeping or unconscious?" Li Yilin frowned.
"Unconscious. His aura has been steadily recovering every day, but he seems to be severely injured. We do not know how long it will take for him to recover completely."
"We do not know what Lord Sidar encountered. We fear that while he is unconscious, his enemies might—so we specifically came to ask for your assistance, my lord." With that, Blair lowered his head and waited quietly for Li Yilin's reply.
