The Boundary Heart Continent was incomparably rich in energy. Although Zhang Dong remained in a small meditation chamber, a casual breath allowed him to absorb countless essences.
These essences did not merely use energy to transform the body; they also contained insights into foundational true intents. With time and growth, one could naturally master a Third-Class Divine Heart or a Second-Class Divine Heart.
Only Fourth Heaven Realm Deities and True Deities carried even a little weight.
After cultivating for ten months, Zhang Dong's strength had already far surpassed what it had once been. His First-Class True Intent had reached the third realm, making it even stronger than a Second-Class Divine Heart realm, while both Realm God Secret Arts had reached perfection at their second layers.
Opening up a First-Class Divine Heart was far more complicated, but he was confident that he could accomplish it within thirty years.
"It's time to return to the Primordial Universe." Zhang Dong was quite satisfied with his current combat power and prepared to depart.
It was not safe to remain on the Boundary Heart Continent for too long. If someone needed him urgently and could not find him, Dark Marquis Lord might personally perform a time-space reversal to inspect the scene of his disappearance.
Although Dark Marquis Lord might not necessarily be able to reverse time far enough to see it, it was better to be cautious.
Only after he broke through to become a Realm Lord, or even an Immortal God, would he have greater freedom of movement.
His true body walked out of the cultivation chamber and passed through the Time-Space Corridor, leaving the sect for the outside world. Disciples like them, who had not truly entered the sect, did not have much trouble leaving.
If one became an Outer Disciple, then after purchasing precious ultimate arts, secret arts, or inheritances, one would need to carry out missions for a long time and earn money to repay the cost. Even leaving the sect would require numerous applications.
Primordial Universe.
Whoosh!
Zhang Dong returned once more to his estate in the Primordial Realm. After sensing his condition slightly, he discovered that he was not connected to his Clone's memories.
"No memory connection? That is somewhat troublesome." Zhang Dong frowned slightly. Not to mention a mere transcendent lifeform like himself—even a Universe God would encounter serious problems if memories remained disconnected for too long.
If a Clone and the true body remained separated for a long time, they could even develop different personalities.
However, he had considered this long ago. As long as he returned once every few decades and merged their memories, it would be fine. What he feared was memories being divided for thousands or tens of thousands of years at a time.
Now that he had returned to the Primordial Universe, no one could have imagined that Zhang Dong, with his Cosmic Level strength, was even stronger than Gao Li outside.
With Realm God Secret Arts enhancing his power and secret techniques amplifying it, even without using the profundities of his First-Class True Intent, he had already far surpassed the peak of God Level. Once he used Pole True Intent, he could casually crush countless gods to death.
By the standards of the Primordial Universe, that was King-Level Combat Power.
Of course, no one would believe that Zhang Dong, a Cosmic Level cultivator, could display King Level combat power. It was simply too unbelievable and exceeded the restrictions of the universe's laws.
His next step was to break through to Domain Lord. He had actually considered directly breaking through to Realm Lord instead, since there was no need to remain at the Domain Lord stage.
However, Virtual Universe Company's rules stated that once one broke through to Realm Lord, one had to undergo a Life-and-Death Trial.
Both the Outer Domain Battlefield and Cosmic Secret Realms carried a certain degree of danger.
It would be better to improve his law comprehension further while at the Domain Lord stage and wait for his Clone on the Boundary Heart Continent to advance in realm. Once he had a World God, he could go then. That would be completely safe.
The breakthrough process was simple. Once it was completed, Zhang Dong sent an email to Virtual Universe Company.
He intended to return to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom and serve as a Regional Governor, while also completing some points missions. He still needed to obtain energy for his next trip to the Boundary Heart Continent through slaughter or by absorbing the power of faith.
His Clone on the Boundary Heart Continent definitely could not acquire the power of faith or the power of slaughter.
He was in Xiafeng Capital. Even if transcendent beings or gods weaker than him were present, Zhang Dong did not dare act against them.
There was even less need to mention the power of faith. Most gods in the Tianyu Universe did not get to enjoy the power of faith, let alone on the Boundary Heart Continent. Only his true body could obtain it in the Primordial Universe.
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock sounded at the door.
"Your Highness." Gao Li asked softly from outside, "May I come in?"
"Come in."
Gao Li pushed open the door and entered with a smile. "Your Highness, you have broken through to Domain Lord and will soon return to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. There are certain safety-related matters I need to ask about in advance."
His information network was well connected. More than half a year ago, a King-level Immortal had already given him a few pointers.
What Zhang Dong had done when challenging the Heavenly Bridge was absolutely forbidden from being spread outside, but the fact that he had joined the Primordial Realm and secured his position there was no secret.
Otherwise, why did Zhang Dong not even need to take part in the Secret Realm Qualification Battle?
The truth was forbidden from being leaked, but that did not prevent Virtual Universe Company staff from making their own guesses. There were all sorts of theories.
Some guessed that Zhang Dong had already passed Primordial Heaven-Reaching Mountain.
However, few believed that guess. After all, his cultivation time had been too short. Most people believed Zhang Dong should possess the standard of the seventh or even eighth level. In terms of cultivation progress, he was absolutely at the Ke Di Level.
Therefore, his safety had to be treated with exceptional caution. How could there be absolute secrets between peak races? Ke Di, as Chaos City Lord's disciple and a Ten-Million-Epoch Level genius, had still died young.
"Safety? It doesn't matter. Just arrange it as you see fit," Zhang Dong replied casually. "I don't have a home planet, so I should go live with my teacher."
Hearing Zhang Dong's answer, Gao Li also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ganwu Universe Kingdom's Thirteenth Divine General possessed Peak Marquis strength, surpassing even Gao Li. He could also contact the Ganwu Kingdom Master at any time, so the security level was extremely high.
Living in a bustling region, on the other hand, would be troublesome.
If a planet was too prosperous, then even the strictest security inspections would have loopholes.
Remote regions also required environmental modifications. At the very least, defensive systems would need to be deployed across a range of thousands of light-years.
Gao Li asked again, "Then, Your Highness, when shall we depart? Once I arrange the guard unit, I will take you through Divine Kingdom Teleportation."
In Gao Li's view, quickly bringing Zhang Dong to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom was the most important matter. Thus, he had prepared a token long ago and placed it within the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.
Once Zhang Dong arrived, he would immediately contact the Thirteenth Divine General to come receive him.
Gao Li was completely treating him as a Ke Di Level genius, so his attitude was exceedingly respectful. Such a monstrous talent had an almost certain chance of becoming a King-level Immortal, or even a Cosmic Venerable, in the future.
If Gao Li could cling to such a powerful supporter, his own status would change as well.
"Divine Kingdom Teleportation? Sounds good. We can leave today." Zhang Dong only wanted to save as much time as possible. Even if Gao Li had suggested taking a universe spaceship, he would have requested Divine Kingdom Teleportation.
Gao Li turned and left. After gathering the guard unit, he also sent a message to the Thirteenth Divine General through the Virtual Universe.
He informed the Thirteenth Divine General where they would appear and asked him to wait in advance to receive them.
The Thirteenth Divine General was overjoyed upon receiving the email. "How long has it even been since my disciple left? He is already returning. According to the Kingdom Master, his talent is now unbelievably monstrous, far beyond the other members of the Primordial Realm."
The first one or two Realm Lords of the Primordial Realm had no problem becoming King-level Immortals. Since Zhang Dong had received such an evaluation, how powerful would he become in the future?
