Longyan Planet

This applied to the Law of Wind alone. Even when comprehending other laws—such as the lower laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder and lightning, and light—his clarity had risen from around 100 to over 2,000. That was already far faster than when he had first entered the World Lord stage and begun comprehending the Law of Wind! As for the higher law of Space Laws, its clarity had climbed from around 30 to over 300! And the Law of Time, being directly above the Origin Law of Wind, had improved even more, reaching 10,000!

Although comprehending higher laws was far more difficult than comprehending lower laws, and a clarity of 10,000 in the Law of Time was enough to rival the clarity he'd had after gaining recognition from the Origin Law of Wind, earning recognition from the Time Origin Law was still much harder than earning it from the Origin Law of Wind. But at least it was much easier than before!

Ye Muxuan silently calculated. At his current rate of comprehension, gaining recognition from the Space Origin Law and then mastering any one of "Lockdown," "Teleportation," or "Strangulation" wouldn't be difficult. And as the higher law most closely connected to the Origin Law of Wind, the Law of Time's three categories—"Time Pause," "Time Acceleration," and "Time Reversal"—would each be faster to master than gaining recognition from the Space Origin Law!

To break through to Immortal, all he needed was to master the Origin Law of Wind. He wasn't far from that point! To become a Kingdom Lord, however, he would have to master one of the higher laws!

So, was there really any need to go to the Initial Universe?

After all, this concerned the Heavy Treasure he would obtain! More importantly, there was the Incomplete Entity in his consciousness!

Who knew whether, while comprehending the laws of the universe inside the Initial Universe, he might end up slashing at its source with a blade?

The Primal Universe was vast, perfect, and ancient. That slash probably wouldn't do much damage. But if the Initial Universe took a hit like that, the consequences were anyone's guess! It was, after all, only a small universe in its initial stage of evolution. Its owner, Original Ancestor, had long since been suppressed by the Origin Will of the Original Universe!

The E9 Rank Spaceship raced through the Dark Universe at 35 times the speed of light. After thinking it over for a long while in the quiet room, Ye Muxuan finally decided to go!

He could certainly comprehend laws in the Primal Universe, but he needed a legitimate reason to join the Core Layer of the Five Great Powers. He needed the Heavenly Bridge and the Chaos Stele. More importantly, he needed those five differently colored points of light!

This trip to the Initial Universe was the perfect opportunity!

The Chaos City Lord, who was stationed in the Initial Universe, had been able to recognize that Ye Muxuan was not an Alien Race when he entered Chaos City. If Ye Muxuan demonstrated enough talent now, it would be far easier to join one of the Five Great Powers than to do so while he was on the Outer Battlefield!

Since he had spent 50,000 years preparing for this trip to the Initial Universe, he was now cultivating a Secret Technique exchanged through the Military System. At best, it was a Secret Technique at the Marquis Rank. Even his strongest self-created technique was approaching that level! But even if he fully mastered the exchanged Secret Technique, it would still only be at the Marquis Rank. As a lone wanderer, he was destined not to get far on his own!

Besides, he still had the Grand Elder's charge to fulfill!

Having made up his mind, Ye Muxuan's consciousness descended once more into the source, and he began comprehending the Origin Law.

Longyan Planet was an artificial planet in the Ninth Battlefield. More than a million kilometers in diameter, it was a massive sphere of ochre-yellow, suspended in space. Orbiting it were 108 planets, each between 10,000 and 100,000 kilometers in diameter!

Each of these 108 planets was a Star Fortress! Even Immortals couldn't break in, let alone the mighty Universe Venerables, beings powerful enough to upend space and throw time into chaos. They couldn't get inside in a short time, either!

An E9 Rank Machine Race Spaceship received Longyan Planet's docking signal from tens of millions of kilometers away. Following the guidance signal at the speed of light, it took half a minute to enter the planet's atmosphere and quickly descend to the docking platform. Then it was stored inside a World Ring!

Inside Longyan Planet, in a certain hall.

In a vast hall with a full million seats, a spot tucked away near one corner was surrounded by a small circle of people. Of course, "small" was relative: the circle still covered an area of several hundred square kilometers.

Dozens of powerful figures had gathered there. Every World Lord bore the mark of an Origin Law on his brow, and more than ten of them had reached the Immortal Level! The World Lords and Immortals talking loudly in the distance occasionally glanced over. Their eyes held envy, longing, and wariness!

A World Lord with a Flame Mark on his brow held an enormous transparent cup and gulped down his drink. After finishing it in one go, he set the cup down and let out a satisfied breath, a plume of hot vapor rising from his mouth!

He glanced aside and happened to see a black-clad man stepping off the E9 Rank Spaceship on the docking platform. The man stood about two meters tall and had a wisp-shaped mark of wind on his brow. The Flame Mark World Lord's gaze sharpened!

The others noticed his movement as they chatted. Their gazes followed his, and they spotted the black-clad man putting away his spaceship.

"That guy's here too!"

"This just got interesting!"

"I didn't expect him to show up!"

"Did he redeem a spot this time too?"

"Interesting! Very interesting!"

The air within the small circle was filled with powerful auras, some as explosive as a volcano, others as cold as Iceberg, and still others as warm as the sun. If some clueless Domain Lord wandered in, he'd probably have a mental breakdown on the spot!

It wasn't only the World Lords who had their eyes on the black-clad man. Even the more than ten Immortals watching him wore faintly grave expressions!

"Wind Blade!" A burly World Lord with a lightning-shaped mark on his brow opened his mouth. Electric snakes flickered faintly in his eyes, and his deep voice rumbled like thunder!

The black-clad man who had stepped off the spaceship sensed the many gazes fixed on him. His eyes shifted toward the small circle. With a single step, he crossed dozens of kilometers; after just a few steps, he had reached it.

His gaze swept across the group. At a glance, he recognized many familiar faces!

The circle of the powerful wasn't all that large, because without sufficient strength, you couldn't enter it. Muxuan had spent over 100,000 years on the Outer Battlefield, and he had dealt with many of these powerful figures. Even those he hadn't met, he'd heard of. After all, any World Lord capable of redeeming a spot to study in the Initial Universe had fought on the Outer Battlefield for at least 50,000 years!

As for Immortals, they had to fight for at least 200,000 years, and an Immortal-level spot cost 20 trillion Military Merit. Very few Immortals could afford one. For various other reasons, each era offered far fewer Immortal spots than World Lord spots—usually just over a dozen, twenty at most!
