"You really never studied any Time Law secret techniques before?"

"I truly haven't."

Thunder Eye looked at Feng Hui, recalling the Time Law insights he had just displayed. To be honest, aside from lacking the ability to leverage them properly due to not having trained in relevant secret techniques, there was nothing to fault.

His insights cut straight to the essence of the Time Law, walking the path toward the true meaning of time.

As for not yet being able to wield them well, that wasn't even a real problem.

With such exceptional Time Law comprehension, picking any Time Law secret technique would let him grasp it quickly and master it with ease.

Seeing both teachers remain silent, Feng Hui couldn't help asking: "Teachers, is there a problem?"

Teacher Wala and Thunder Eye both paused.

As higher-order laws, comprehending either the Law of Space or the Time Law was an immensely difficult task. Both of them, trudging along these two paths respectively, had firsthand experience and understood the hardship well.

Logically, they should draw from their own journeys and, as those who had walked the road before, advise Feng Hui not to cultivate both space and time, but to focus his energy on a single higher-order law to perhaps achieve success.

After all, a person's energy was limited; trying to chew too much would only choke.

But... the heaven-defying talent Feng Hui had shown made it impossible for them to say such words.

Perhaps... this path, he really could walk it?

Both teachers knew that before becoming an Immortal, comprehending laws was relatively easier.

Especially the Realm Lord stage—it was the easiest time to comprehend laws.

Because once one stepped into the Realm Lord level, their consciousness could directly enter the universe's origin, and the speed of law comprehension would skyrocket.

During this period, one could comprehend multiple laws simultaneously, and each law felt close, making it easy to grasp.

But once they broke through to become an Immortal, their soul would fully merge with their divine body.

At that point, the divine body was composed of Immortal divine power, equivalent to a part of the lower-order law's cosmic law origin ocean that had enabled their breakthrough.

At that stage, comprehending the corresponding higher-order law was still manageable, but trying to comprehend other laws would face strong rejection, making the difficulty skyrocket ten thousand times, a million times.

For example, Teacher Wala had already fully comprehended the Wood Origin Law and had grasped part of the Space Origin Law.

If he continued to study the Law of Space, his progress would be decent.

If he wanted to comprehend other lower-order laws under the Law of Space, like the Fire Law, the rejection would slow his comprehension speed considerably.

If he also wanted to study the Time Law, it would become extremely hard to cultivate, with a painfully slow pace.

This was why those Realm Lord-level peerless geniuses often lingered at the Realm Lord stage for a long time to comprehend laws.

Because after breaking through to Immortal, comprehending laws was truly a difficult matter.

Since Feng Hui possessed such astonishing talent in both the Time Law and the Law of Space, letting him try the path of dual cultivation in space and time wasn't a bad idea.

After all, he was still young and had room to make mistakes; if the path became impassable, he could always switch directions.

Besides... Teacher Wala suddenly thought of something, his heart stirring.

"Since you want to walk the path of dual cultivation in space and time, then give it a try."

"I won't stop you, but walking this path will require more time and effort. I can guide you in the Law of Space, and for the Time Law, you'll need to seek advice from Teacher Thunder Eye."

With that, Teacher Wala turned to look at Thunder Eye.

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can come ask me." Thunder Eye nodded at Feng Hui.

"Perhaps, with your talent, after the Eastern Domain Tournament, you might have the chance to cultivate that inheritance."

Teacher Wala looked at Feng Hui and sighed softly.

"You mean, that one?" Thunder Eye's heart stirred as well.

"Isn't it too difficult?"

"With his talent in space and time laws, he might really have a chance."

"What inheritance?"

Hearing the cryptic exchange between Teacher Wala and Thunder Eye, Feng Hui looked confused.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Teacher Wala looked at Feng Hui with some anticipation.

"If you pass the Eastern Domain Tournament, you can come into contact with the true foundation of our Dongdi Clan—the Dongdi Tower! That inheritance lies within the Dongdi Tower."

"Dongdi Tower?"

Feng Hui was full of doubt.

After all, this was the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, named after the Dongdi Ancestor who had transcended reincarnation.

Here, not just anything could be crowned with the title "Dongdi."

The Dongdi Tower, daring to bear that name, was no ordinary thing.

"Haha, of course you wouldn't have heard of it. Such secret knowledge, I only learned about it back when I passed the Eastern Domain Tournament selection and received focused training."

"Our Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe is divided into five major domains—the Eastern Domain, Western Domain, Northern Domain, Southern Domain, and Central Domain—and above them lies the Endless Divine Realm."

"The Endless Divine Realm is the true core of our Dongdi Clan. All great beings who have surpassed the Universe Venerable level gather there. Those who are not true experts have no right to enter, so you, a little fellow, should put that out of your mind for now."

"The five major domains are where geniuses gather."

"In each of the five domains stands one of our Dongdi Clan's supreme treasures—the Dongdi Tower!"

"When I was being trained, I heard that there is actually only one Dongdi Tower, but it manifests five separate forms, appearing simultaneously in all five domains. The mysteries behind this, even Teacher is not entirely clear about."

"But you only need to know one thing: the Dongdi Tower is absolutely the inheritance treasure of our Dongdi Clan. Being able to enter it to receive its inheritance is an immense fortune and opportunity."

"If I were to say that all the super experts born from our Dongdi Clan owe their existence to the Dongdi Tower, that would certainly be an exaggeration. But it is an indisputable fact that the Dongdi Tower has provided them with tremendous help on their path to becoming super experts."

Feng Hui's heart burned with excitement.

Having just comprehended the Cosmic Chaos Stele in the human race's Chaos City, he understood all too well how crucial such treasures—pointing straight toward the pinnacle of the Great Dao—were to young geniuses.

With or without guidance, the difference in cultivation speed was like the gap between traversing a rugged mountain path and racing down a smooth highway.

This was not to say that the path of a strong expert was impossible without guidance; a rugged trail could still lead to the end. But few walked it, and they moved slowly.

Since a broad, sunlit road was available, why bother with a single-plank bridge?

He knew that even the human race of the primal universe had treasures like the Chaos Stele to guide geniuses in cultivation and help them comprehend the laws. The Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, which had existed for who knows how long and was home to countless experts, surely possessed even better means of nurturing and inheritance.

He just wondered what miraculous and mysterious qualities the Dongdi Tower—so highly praised by Teacher Wala—actually possessed.

"I originally planned to focus on teaching you the Law of Wood and the Law of Space before the Eastern Domain Tournament, but I never expected you to make such astonishing progress in the Time Law as well."

"It seems that the training plan I set for you before needs to be changed."

"Here's what we'll do: go back for now, and let me discuss this further with your Teacher Thunder Eye."
