Cultivation Plan of the Immortal Temple (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Normally, being acknowledged by the origin laws requires the comprehension level of the eighth floor of the Heavenly Bridge.

Fully comprehending the lower laws corresponds to the tenth floor.

For a peak World Lord to tie with an ordinary Immortal, they need to reach the comprehension level of the fourteenth floor of the Heavenly Bridge.

Of course, nothing is absolute. For instance, certain special inheritances, higher life gene levels, or treasures that enhance a World Lord's base strength can allow one to achieve this feat even with lower law comprehension.

Wu Yun was only acknowledged by the origin laws a little over a hundred years ago; Yu Hong had never heard of such a monstrous cultivation speed.

World Lords rivaling Immortals had indeed appeared in the Blood Luo Continent before.

But to go from being acknowledged by the origin laws to rivaling an Immortal at such a speed—Wu Yun was in a league of his own.

With a cultivation speed that was peerless throughout the entire Blood Luo Continent, Yu Hong dared not show the slightest negligence and immediately prepared to take Wu Yun to the summit of the Immortal Temple.

That was also the place where the Universe Venerables resided year-round.

But in the very next moment, time seemed to freeze. A blurry figure descended, hands behind his back, eyes constantly sizing up Wu Yun.

This figure was too terrifying; standing there, he felt as deep and vast as the laws themselves, interfering with the thoughts of everyone present.

To Wu Yun and the others, perhaps only a billionth of a second had passed, but the blurry figure had already taken him and Yu Hong away, arriving at the top floor of the temple.

The top floor was an independent world opened up by great beings, a full hundred billion kilometers in diameter, where only King-Level Immortals and Universe Venerables were qualified to reside.

The energy within this world was extremely abundant, filled with towering palaces.

At the very center was the Elder Hall, a structure comparable to the size of a star; it was truly shocking. Wu Yun's thoughts were still lingering on his conversation with Yu Hong a second ago, yet now he had already arrived here.

Time Venerable, it is definitely the Time Venerable. Wu Yun was horrified; with this kind of strength, killing him would be a matter of a single thought.

The flow of time had slowed, and then he and Yu Hong were instantly transported across an unknown distance.

"A World Lord who can rival an Immortal—you are very good." The blurry figure now became clear, looking like an ordinary middle-aged man from Earth.

Only the aura he exuded was too terrifying; merely the natural leakage of it was enough to make Immortal Gods tremble with fear.

"Elder Yan." Yu Hong said respectfully, "He was only acknowledged by the origin laws one hundred and sixty-two years ago, and now he already possesses strength rivaling an Immortal. One can see how high his talent is."

"Hmm, I am aware." Elder Yan said with satisfaction, "A World Lord who can rival an Immortal God is considered a decent talent even among the Outer-World Races. If nurtured well, perhaps he could eventually rival Yu Hong."

In the history of the Blood Luo Continent, only six World Lords who could rival Marquis-Level Gods had ever been born.

Among those six, three were already Universe Venerables, and the other three were all at the peak of King-Level strength.

Since Wu Yun had this potential, the Immortal Temple would spare no effort to cultivate him.

"Elder Yan, what about me now?" Wu Yun asked curiously.

He didn't care much about the cultivation methods of the Blood Luo Continent; the training received by the top monsters there might not even compare to a World Lord in the Primordial Secret Realm.

Being able to browse secret techniques at will was nothing special.

The Blood Luo Continent had a total of fifteen Venerables; it was not a race with a very deep foundation.

It would be a different story if it were a race like the Golden Horn Race, which had produced a Universe Overlord.

"You may enter here at any time. Any doubts you have will be answered by King-Level Immortals, and occasionally you will receive guidance from elders like us. Your resource quota will be a thousand times higher than those other World Lords." Elder Yan smiled, "As for your status, it is directly equal to Yu Hong's."

Wu Yun thought that wasn't much. Once he joined the Giant Axe Arena to cultivate for a period of time, let alone guidance from King-Level Immortals, there was even a possibility of becoming a disciple to a Universe Overlord or a Universe Master.

However, a resource quota a thousand times higher than ordinary genius World Lords was not bad.

"Yes." Wu Yun feigned excitement, "Elder Yan, I wonder if I may browse the secret techniques within the race at will."

"Of course."

Elder Yan nodded, "Everything here is open for you to study. The stronger you become, the more chances we have to resist the rule of the Outer-World Races. Perhaps you could even reach the strength of that alien who sits in the outer regions."

What naive words.

Elder Yan, who had never left the Blood Luo Continent in his life, perhaps thought the Lord of Tian Shi was one of the strongest existences among humanity.

Wu Yun thought to himself, how could that be? In a small place like the Blood Luo Continent, it might be possible to give birth to a Universe Master, but to think of producing a top Universe Overlord?

That was absolutely wishful thinking.

A Universe Master could be achieved by comprehending time and space or the Path of the Beast God, but a top Universe Overlord required a massive amount of external force.

That was not a realm that could be reached through simple enlightenment.

"I will work hard." Wu Yun said calmly. This clone of his was born in the Blood Luo Continent and had his own family; there were too many people he cared about.

But Wu Yun also understood that the best outcome for the Blood Luo Continent was to become a branch of humanity.

Even if they possessed the strength of a Universe Master, so what? Many of the affiliated races in the Hong Alliance had Universe Masters.

On the other side, Wu Yun's true body had also arrived at the Marquis Nanque Mansion.

"Marquis Nanque." Wu Yun bowed respectfully. Logically, matters of such assessments should be discussed in detail at the headquarters, yet Marquis Nanque had called him to his own home.

The meaning behind this was self-evident.

Talking at the headquarters was strictly official business.

Meeting in private was a clear indication that Marquis Nanque intended to befriend Wu Yun, especially considering how the latter had rapidly grown from an obscure level-one World Lord to his current standing.

In his previous battle, Wu Yun had slain a World Lord recognized by the origin laws in just a few moves.

If he were a core World Lord from one of the five major powers, such speed would not be considered fast, but for a "savage" World Lord like Wu Yun, it was absolutely heaven-defying.

Savage World Lords had to toil away to absorb energy.

Core World Lords, however, could soak directly in nutrient fluid, never delaying their time spent on enlightenment.

This was why Marquis Nanque had the urge to befriend him; he felt that Wu Yun would have no problem becoming an Army Lord Immortal in the future, and perhaps with the right cultivation, he might even have a chance to become a Marquis-Level.

"This assessment quota is very hard to come by. It was already full, but I forced you into the queue," Marquis Nanque said with a smile.

Wu Yun replied tactfully, "I will keep this in mind."

Although Wu Yun would have gradually demonstrated his potential and eventually been noticed even without Marquis Nanque, the man had saved him a great deal of time and had taken the initiative to befriend him.

Wu Yun cared deeply about whether others treated him with respect.

"Mm, tomorrow Ka Wei will use the God Kingdom teleportation to take you to the headquarters," Marquis Nanque smiled with satisfaction. "Wu Yun, once you leave, our Ganwu Universe Kingdom will be missing a big star."

He was mostly teasing with that remark, even though the betting amounts on Wu Yun's matches and the investments from GG Merchant added up to tens of thousands of Hunyuan.

But to Marquis Nanque, such economic gains meant nothing.

Marquis Nanque cared more about the process of discovering talent, especially within a universe kingdom managed by the Virtual Universe Company, as these things helped improve his standing with the higher-ups.

The higher his evaluation, the more secure he would be in his position.
