So I Was the Light

"So, I am light?" Su Ke stepped down from the machine door, lost in thought.

Come to think of it, the universe of this world has ten fundamental laws.

In addition to the eight lower laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, wind, and light.

There are also the two upper laws of time and space.

The law of light belongs to the system of lower laws under the law of time.

Simply put.

Completely comprehending a lower law makes one an Immortal.

Completely comprehending an upper law makes one a Venerable.

Completely comprehending both upper laws simultaneously makes one a Master of the Universe.

Those who walk a path never trodden before become the strongest in the universe.

As for Su Ke's current realm, let alone laws, he cannot even see a shadow of domains or artistic conceptions.

Thinking about it makes it feel unreachable.

Only by personally cultivating and experiencing it can one clearly feel that those realms are like towering, peakless mountains that are difficult to climb! A boundless sea that cannot be crossed!

In the spacious reception room, Su Ke stared at the projection in front of him, searching for a secret manual suitable for himself among the massive amount of information.

To become a powerhouse, talent, resources, effort, and secret manuals are all indispensable!

A secret manual that suits one's own nature can point out the path ahead, saving an untold amount of effort!

"There are even so many Universe Rank secret manuals; that's impressive."

Su Ke was excited.

Seeing these manuals was like seeing the super-existences behind them.

Some of these manuals were collected by Treasure Studio, while others were placed here for sale by powerhouses. Once sold, the main profit goes to the seller, while Treasure Studio collects a portion of the fees and gains fame—a mutually beneficial arrangement.

However, no powerhouse would be foolish enough to sell their own true unique skills or trump cards.

"Planetary Rank, Stellar Rank, Universe Rank..."

"Every type of manual is divided into one to five stars."

"One star is the lowest, five stars is the highest, and the price is also affected by the star rating."

In addition to the store's introduction, there were various buyer comments below.

Some manuals have been circulating for many years, and there are many buyer reviews, with the earliest dating back a million years.

"I have the light attribute, so I will choose a light-attribute blade technique."

After filtering like this, the number of manuals decreased.

Su Ke thought quickly in his mind. With my talent, ordinary manuals are already hard to learn; those Universe Rank manuals and those that are too profound should be forgotten.

Of course, he wanted profound and powerful manuals, but he knew he didn't have the ability.

The more powerful a manual is, the harder it is to learn! If one insists on being stubborn without the ability, it will only be counterproductive and slow down one's progress.

A typical example is a genius who appears once every ten thousand epochs in a certain genius battle.

Su Ke's goal is a "Stellar Rank manual with fast cultivation speed."

This is the top priority; everything else is secondary.

Because with those resources, he could reach the ninth level of the Planetary Rank in ten years; the bottlenecks from the third to fourth level of the Planetary Rank, or the sixth to seventh level, would not trouble him at all.

This is the meaning of spending money.

Breaking through from the ninth level of the Planetary Rank to the Stellar Rank is very difficult, but as long as one can throw money at it, one can break through smoothly.

However, the cultivation resources needed after the Stellar Rank are even more terrifying—ten or a hundred times that of the Planetary Rank! He cannot afford that.

So, he can only rely on his own cultivation to increase his speed.

The reception room was quiet, with no one to disturb him. Su Ke's gaze moved lightly as he carefully selected.

Heavenly Array Blade, Category: Blade Technique, Attribute: Light, Rank: Stellar Rank, Force Limit: 40, Rating: Five Stars, Price: 10 billion Jialan Coin (Full Set). Aurora, Category: Blade Technique, Attribute: Light, Rank: Stellar Rank, Force Limit: 40, Rating: Five Stars, Price: 10 billion Jialan Coin (Full Set). Hundred Flying Swallow Strikes, Category: Blade Technique, Attribute: Light, Rank: Stellar Rank, Force Limit: 40, Rating: Five Stars, Price: 10 billion Jialan Coin (Full Set).

Looking at the uniform five-star ratings and the limit of 40 force above, Su Ke couldn't help but look back at the Universe Rank manuals, discovering that many five-star ones had a limit of 60 force.

It seems that the limit for Stellar Rank is 40, while the limit for Universe Rank is 60.

The limit for Planetary Rank is 20, and for Apprentices, it is 10.

It is just very difficult to achieve.

Of course, this is the normal range. It is possible that there are manuals where the Stellar Rank exceeds 40 and the Universe Rank exceeds 60, but those were not created by ordinary people, and Treasure Studio did not have them here.

The manuals are neither cheap nor expensive; the seller has almost no cost, as they are selling knowledge and patents.

If many people buy it, one can also make a fortune.

This type of trade is protected by imperial law; after purchasing, buyers must sign a non-disclosure agreement, and if caught leaking information, they will face severe punishment from the entire empire.

Su Ke focused more of his attention on the buyer reviews. The secrets of many manuals, the difficulties encountered during cultivation, various situations, as well as pros and cons, all appeared in the comments. Some buyers even complained and regretted buying the wrong manual, which made Su Ke even more cautious.

"Sky-Collapse Blade, claimed to have great power, follows a domineering and masculine path, unrivaled among the same rank, but it is extremely difficult to master, even harder to comprehend, and only suitable for geniuses."

"Aurora, must be paired with a set of movement techniques to fully unleash its power. Not only is the footwork mysterious, but the various moves are incredibly complex, requiring a massive amount of calculation; it is only suitable for a small number of people."

"This one is actually known for its defense?"

Su Ke patiently looked through them one by one. This choice concerned his future cultivation, so he could not afford even the slightest bit of carelessness.

He did not know how much time had passed or how many manuals he had looked through when suddenly, Su Ke's wine-red eyes lit up.

Eighteen Star Rays, Category: Blade Technique, Attribute: Light, Rank: Stellar Rank, Force Limit: 32, Rating: Three Stars, Price: 1.8 billion Jialan Coins (complete set).

A three-star rating alone was nothing special, but what caught Su Ke's attention were the many buyer comments that followed.

"This is the most suitable light-attribute manual for ordinary people to cultivate. Highly recommended."

"I bought this manual on the recommendation of my teacher, and I have gained a lot."

"Many thanks to the author of this manual; it allowed me to successfully reach the ninth rank after many years. I wonder which powerhouse it was, and if they are still around. If only I could become their apprentice."

"I feel like there should be more parts to this; why aren't they released?"

"Compared to the manual I was originally cultivating, this is truly so much faster. If only I had encountered it sooner."

The praise was endless, and the positive reviews were overwhelming.

This was the first time Su Ke had seen so much praise; he could barely find a single negative review.

A manual being profound or having a high star rating did not necessarily mean many people cultivated it, and it was clear that Eighteen Star Rays was more popular.

Most people in the world are ordinary individuals without outstanding cultivation talent, and they naturally seek out manuals that are suitable for them to cultivate.

Su Ke's eyes lit up immediately; this was the manual he needed—one with fast cultivation speed that was suitable for ordinary people.

He also understood that even though manuals like Eighteen Star Rays were only Stellar Rank and not high-level, for them to be superior to others in certain aspects and possess unique qualities, the creators behind them were either peerless geniuses or perhaps Universe Rank or Domain Lord Rank powerhouses! Even a World Lord was not impossible!

"It doesn't matter if the power isn't great, as long as the cultivation speed is fast." Thinking of his own force of over 2 times after many years of cultivation, Su Ke did not care at all about the three-star rating of Eighteen Star Rays.

"Bought!" After signing the non-disclosure agreement, Su Ke did not hesitate to click purchase.
