"Luo Feng and the others... I had neglected them these past few decades." After reading the email, Su Heng murmured softly.

Thirty years ago, after obtaining three supreme treasures, he had headed to the Star Tower within the Extraterritorial Battlefield and carried out a lengthy massacre.

However, he had ultimately provoked the anger of the other three major races!

After all, if an immortal possessed genuine Venerable-level combat power, which of the four major races did not have several such monsters?

Yet due to an unspoken rule, none of the four major races would allow these Venerable-level combatants to enter the Extraterritorial Battlefield and slaughter freely!

Besides, every immortal with Venerable-level combat power was painstakingly trying to break through to become a Venerable. They were either cultivating in seclusion within their race's holy land or staying within the Ancestor God Religion.

The Extraterritorial Battlefield was a place only King-level Invincibles who still coveted the Star Tower would remain in!

And Su Heng had slaughtered those Kings precisely to maintain the Time Palace's energy.

Even if he still had 9 Treasure Points left, he could not simply live off his reserves forever!

But because of this, several years ago, Su Heng had eventually encountered an assassination attempt by an alien-race Venerable!

That individual had been a low-level Venerable possessing one top-tier supreme treasure and one ordinary supreme treasure. His divine body was roughly 50 million times the power of a World Master, and his amplification method was sixteenfold.

However, that battle had ended in Su Heng's victory. Although he had failed to kill that Venerable, Su Heng's name had spread throughout the four peak races.

Because of this, the human race had forbidden him from returning to the Extraterritorial Battlefield to slaughter other Kings.

At the same time, both to compensate and reward Su Heng, the race had granted him a top-tier set of supreme treasures, along with one opportunity to apply for an Ancestor God Token!

"A set of supreme treasures is only worth a little over a thousand Treasure Points, but there's also an Ancestor God Token. That's not bad."

Su Heng muttered.

In the original story, Luo Feng had killed Vejing King, yet the race had only acknowledged him as possessing the combat power of a mid-level Universe Venerable.

One had to know that Vejing King himself was a Special Lifeform with a divine body two hundred million times that of a World Master. Coupled with a true treasure, a set of supreme treasures, even ordinary low-level Universe Venerables would not have been his match.

Meanwhile, Su Heng had merely defeated an ordinary low-level Universe Venerable, so he had only been assessed as having the combat power of a low-level Universe Venerable.

"My law comprehension is still too lacking. If I had fully comprehended all three paths, I might have been able to kill that Venerable outright. Then I would definitely have been assessed as a mid-level Venerable."

Su Heng murmured.

In terms of divine body, supreme treasures, secret techniques, and amplification, he was not much inferior to Universe Venerables.

But when it came to law comprehension, he was far weaker than those Venerables. This also prevented him from truly keeping those Universe Venerables from escaping.

Even when using supreme treasures, he was somewhat weaker than other Universe Venerables!

Law comprehension ultimately required the accumulation of time. Su Heng had only broken through to immortality a little over a hundred thousand years ago.

Even with the Time Palace's assistance, he would still need at least several thousand years to fully comprehend all three paths.

"Forget it. I'll start with Blood Luo Crystals. With a hundredfold gene level, plus my main body's baleful aura, the chances of fusing a hundred of them aren't small."

Abandoning his focus on law comprehension, Su Heng shifted his attention toward Blood Luo Crystals.

Over these hundred thousand-plus years, the Four-Silver Clan avatar, relying on its 226-fold gene level, had completely fused 100 Blood Luo Crystals not long ago.

Although, due to breaking through to immortality and its inherently excessive gene level, it could no longer increase its gene level a hundredfold like Luo Feng in the original story, it had still gained roughly a fifteenfold increase in its genes!

In other words, based on its foundational divine body alone, the Four-Silver Clan avatar had reached 330 million times the power of a World Master—solidly at the strength of a high-level Universe Venerable!

As for Su Heng's main body, with a 110-fold gene level and the support of his baleful aura, he had successfully fused 97 Blood Luo Crystals over these hundred thousand-plus years.

Now, by fully mobilizing Blood Luo Power, he could unleash an additional fivefold increase to his gene level!

After fusing one hundred, a qualitative transformation would occur. A twentyfold, or even thirtyfold, increase was entirely possible!

However, before beginning his cultivation, Su Heng still contacted Luo Feng through the Virtual Universe.

"Luo Feng, I suggest that you take True Yan King as your master. After all, you are now also a disciple of the Nine Universes Lineage. Besides, I don't have much time to teach you all now. Finding a suitable teacher would benefit your cultivation more!"

Su Heng spoke directly to Luo Feng.

Although Luo Feng had improved tremendously now, that was because Su Heng had provided the Golden Horned Beast with many resources.

This had allowed the Golden Horned Beast's realm to far exceed its level in the original story, and it had also made Luo Feng's speed of law comprehension far greater than in the original story!

However, there was a limit to this rate of improvement!

For the Golden Horned Beast to advance to the World Master level through bloodline alone would require one hundred thousand years. Even with the optimal metal combination, it would still take a thousand years!

Even if more resources that accumulated energy were provided, it would still take one or two hundred years.

For such a long period, Luo Feng's speed of law comprehension would stagnate at this stage.

In the original story, Luo Feng at this stage could study secret techniques, undertake mission trials in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm and Primal Secret Realm, attend public lectures given by immortals, or seek guidance from True Yan King.

But now, Luo Feng was in the Initial Universe. First, he had no points. Second, he could not accept missions. Third, he did not even have an instructor!

That was why Su Heng wanted Luo Feng to take True Yan King as his master.

This would allow Luo Feng's stalled law comprehension to improve dramatically once more.

After all, the Wood and Space Laws Su Heng cultivated were certainly incompatible with Luo Feng, and Su Heng did not have much time to look after him either.

Since that was the case, it was naturally better to let Luo Feng follow the route from the original story.

That would save Su Heng the trouble as well.

"Take True Yan King as my master?" Luo Feng was tempted, but he still felt somewhat conflicted.

In Chaos City, one could establish a school and give lectures!

Naturally, he had attended True Yan King's lectures before. In fact, ever since passing the third level of the Tongtian Bridge, he had not missed a single one of True Yan King's lectures!

"Go ahead. While you're at it, Hong can also find a teacher whose laws suit him. As for Lei Shen, we'll see after he passes the third level.

"Also, even if you have other teachers, I will still be your teacher as well! If anything comes up, you can contact me through the Virtual Universe."

Seeing Luo Feng's interest, Su Heng said with a smile.

The two continued chatting for a while before Su Heng left the Virtual Universe and began cultivating in seclusion.

Time passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, this group of genius battle participants was about to complete its thirty years in the Initial Universe.

Of the original thousand geniuses, only a little over eight hundred remained.

That day.

Nine Swords Venerable descended upon Chaos City once again. Looking at the many geniuses who had died or been injured, he frowned slightly.

So many had already died in the Initial Universe. Once they entered the Primal Universe and underwent mission trials time after time, fewer than twenty percent of this group would likely survive in the end!

"Forget it. I should first go speak to Kan Deli about that secret realm." Nine Swords merely reprimanded the geniuses a few times before heading toward a certain place in Chaos City.

The newly discovered cosmic secret realm this time was of an extremely high level. Even he was not very confident!

There have been many things going on lately, so the quality may decline somewhat. I will recover as quickly as possible. I'm very sorry.
