Return to the Battle Axe Secret Realm

The trapezoidal spaceship traveled through the Dark Universe at fifty times the speed of light.

The return journey to the Battle Axe Secret Realm would still take fifteen months.

Venerable Jiyu had said that if he had any questions about the Origin Law of Space, he could come ask her.

Li Dui looked up her information but could only find very rough results.

Venerable Jiyu.

A Spirit Reader and controller.

Affiliated with the Giant Axe Martial Arena.

Disciple of Venerable Meng Yu.

King Rank high-level strength.

Skilled in teleportation and spatial sealing.

Quite formidable. Her Law of Space was at least at the nineteenth floor of the Heavenly Bridge.

Any King Rank with teleportation was troublesome.

It wasn't that any King Rank Immortal could necessarily reach the eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Bridge relying solely on the Law of Space or the Law of Time.

If an Immortal's divine body met the King Rank standard, and they could step onto the eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Bridge through law combinations, secret techniques, or any other method—even if their pure Law of Space comprehension fell short—they were still a solid King Rank combatant.

For someone like Venerable Jiyu, a true spatial King Rank, to be willing to teach a Universe Rank—anyone else would be thrilled for half a day.

Li Dui was also quite happy. Even though he too had spatial King Rank insights, there were many common knowledge points and details he didn't fully understand.

But after thinking for a long time, he really couldn't figure out how to ask the essential questions. If he asked too deep, he'd scare her off. If he asked too shallow, it wouldn't be meaningful.

So he begged Venerable Jiyu to give him a lecture, starting from the most basic insights into the Origin Law of Space.

Venerable Jiyu considered Li Dui one of her own. Not only did she not take offense, but she thought Li Dui had a proper learning attitude.

She spent three days, starting from the basics equivalent to the first illustration of the Giant Axe Chaos Stele, and finished content equivalent to three illustrations. Seeing that Li Dui's eyes were bright and he seemed to understand everything, she went ahead and delved into the fourth illustration. It wasn't until she reached content around the eleventh floor of the Heavenly Bridge that she saw Li Dui occasionally showing expressions of confusion and contemplation.

At that point, the lecture ended.

Those expressions were, of course, faked by Li Dui. He had no choice; he couldn't push any further.

Honestly, he had benefited immensely. This one-on-one explanation greatly enriched Li Dui's understanding of the Origin Law of Space. Many aspects he had overlooked, or simply never thought about, were filled in.

After expressing his sincere thanks, Li Dui didn't feel right bothering Venerable Jiyu any longer. He went to the guest cabin and stayed there until the journey ended.

Battle Axe Secret Realm, Island Number One, Room 16001.

The spacious living room was bustling with activity. Every member of the Battle Axe Secret Realm who had ever greeted Li Dui, exchanged a word with him, or had even the slightest connection with him was all here.

Li Dui had left the Battle Axe Secret Realm over a hundred years ago. When he left, he was considered a genius, but only within the scope of the Battle Axe Secret Realm.

Now that he had returned, he was already the number one person among the entire human race's current Universe Rank.

Even the fact that he would come back to the Battle Axe Secret Realm surprised some people. Many thought that after finishing his long mission, he would go challenge the Battle Axe Heavenly Mountain, or even the Mad Axe Heavenly Mountain, and then, with outstanding achievements, enter the God Origin Secret Realm directly.

Number One was holding a short blade, leisurely cutting meat off a bone over two meters long to eat.

There were many people in the room, but not all of them were gathered around Li Dui. The matter of the Heavenly Bridge had been years ago. The waves it stirred had long since calmed down. Everyone often gathered in the Virtual Universe. They were all used to Li Dui's current status by now.

After a long time of noise and chatter, the crowd dispersed.

Li Dui kept Hong and Thor behind.

Dismissing the servants, Li Dui personally brewed tea.

The tea leaves were still from Thor. Li Dui's interest in drinking tea was only so-so. It was mainly these two old-timers from Earth who had a taste for it.

"Brother Lei, I'll sell some stuff later and pay you back what I borrowed last time."

Li Dui had been staying in the Xueluo World the whole time, and even if he had loot, there was nowhere to sell it. In the Virtual Universe, he needed to spend. Over the years, he had borrowed over forty Hunyuan Units from Thor.

"You struck it rich this time, huh? How about interest?" Thor asked.

"Haha. Interest? There's something Senior Luo Feng should have given you both, right?" Li Dui said with a wink.

After Li Dui reached Universe Rank, Hong and Thor weren't too keen on him calling them seniors anymore, telling him to just call them brothers.

As for Luo Feng, Li Dui had never met him, not even in the Virtual Universe. So when mentioning Luo Feng, Li Dui still used the title "Senior."

Hong chimed in: "We have it... but fusing it is just too hard."

Li Dui nodded. "Take your time. If it's really not working, wait until your realm is higher."

He didn't suggest they go to the Xueluo World to use Blood Sha Energy to transform their bodies. The danger of the Xueluo World was no joke. They had their own plans for what to do, and he didn't want to interfere.

Thor sighed with emotion: "You're really something, kid! Fusing three of them. Just thinking about that feeling gives me chills. Freak, you're even more of a freak than Fengzi. Fengzi wasn't as good as you when he was Universe Rank."

Li Dui laughed heartily.

Hong hesitated on the sidelines. There were some things he didn't know how to tell Li Dui. With all the commotion Li Dui had caused, how could the upper echelons not take notice? The Lord of Virtual Gold, who was teaching him on behalf of his teacher the Giant Axe Founder, had personally inquired about Li Dui's situation.

The Earth lineage had produced Luo Feng and him, both astonishingly strong in their respective fields. Thor was only inferior compared to the two of them; compared to others, he was also an extraordinary figure.

No one expected that after only ten thousand years, another Li Dui would pop up.

But the Lord of Virtual Gold only looked into it briefly and didn't show any intention of taking on a disciple or anything like that.

Hong thought it over and decided not to bring it up for now. Li Dui was still young—letting him flounder a bit on his own wasn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as he kept showing talent, the upper echelons of the race wouldn't let a pearl lie in the mud.

"I need you two to do me a favor." Li Dui's words snapped Hong back to his thoughts.

Thor asked seriously, "What is it?"

Li Dui took out a World Ring. "I need someone to deliver this to a place. It's not far—just in the Dark Abyss Universe Kingdom."

Hong said, "I can't fully trust the servants around me." This old fox understood what Li Dui meant the moment he spoke.

Li Dui needed someone trustworthy to handle this, and it was a very personal matter. Otherwise, he could have just had the secret realm staff deliver it.

"I'll go. I'm not an official member, so I won't draw attention." Hearing it was such a simple task, Thor casually reached out and took the World Ring.

Li Dui gave a thumbs-up. "I've got quite a few bottles of fine wine from the collections of World Lords in Xueluo World. Brother Thor, feel free to pick out a few later."

"You little rascal, you can even kill a World Lord. Hey—was fighting a World Lord exciting?" Thor's interest was piqued.

"Exciting~ A graze and you're hurt, a bump and you're dead. What do you think, exciting or not?" Li Dui gestured wildly, vividly describing his battle with a certain World Lord.

Hong and Thor listened for a while, then started rolling their eyes. That was a World Lord—you just did this and that, then cut him down with one slash? Keep bragging.
