"Besides, my proficiency with the Chaos Sword Formation is still far too lacking. Although I forged it myself, there are still some awkward points when using it. If I practice more in the future, my strength should be able to rise further."

"And the execution of the second form—my comprehension of the laws should clearly be enough to perform it, yet it's still a matter of too little practice." Tang Ping muttered.

There was no helping it; in the past, he was too lazy to practice using various weapons, choosing instead to use the same weapons as his tool-men. This way, after the system rewarded him for the tool-men's practice of weapon techniques, he could naturally master those weapons with relative ease.

But now, the Chaos Sword Formation he used was something he had forged himself, a Supreme Treasure set exclusive to him. His tool-men had no way to provide him with reward distributions in this regard.

If this were an ordinary type of Supreme Treasure, he could have forged another set, given it to his slave to practice with, and then received the reward feedback himself.

However, for this Chaos Sword Formation, even if he could spend the time to forge another set, no one else would be able to use it.

The Chaos Sword Formation, as the name implies, was a Supreme Treasure set Tang Ping customized for himself. The law secret patterns contained within it encompassed the two supreme laws of time and space, as well as the eight major subordinate laws of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light.

Moreover, it didn't just contain all ten laws; Tang Ping had specifically left behind points of convergence where the ten laws could fuse with one another. It could be said that this could fully be considered a growth-type Supreme Treasure set.

It was just that because Tang Ping had only touched upon the surface of law fusion, the power in this aspect could not yet be fully manifested.

Once Tang Ping truly embarked on the path of fusing laws and the ten laws perfectly fused into chaos... cough, cough... he was getting ahead of himself. If the ten laws were truly perfectly fused into chaos, this Supreme Treasure set with its limited materials would certainly be unable to keep up.

However, once Tang Ping's fused laws reached a certain level in the future, one could look forward to this Supreme Treasure set reaching the power level of a top-tier Supreme Treasure after some slight modifications. Only then could this set barely be called a Chaos Sword Formation; as of now, it was purely a name Tang Ping had made up on a whim.

"Master, I have finished recovering. Shall we continue with the God Kingdom teleportation now?"

While Tang Ping was still reflecting on the gains and losses of this battle, Golden Cauldron King, who had been recovering his divine body on the side using the treasures Tang Ping provided, had already finished his recovery at lightning speed.

As for this speed, how should one put it? It had completely shocked Golden Cauldron King himself.

As a King-level Immortal, Golden Cauldron King had certainly had experience using treasures to recover his divine body before, although the treasures he used himself were far inferior to what Tang Ping had given him.

But this time... the speed was simply too fast. The loss of his divine body, which would have taken at least tens of millions of years to recover, had been fully restored in less than a day.

However, Golden Cauldron King did not find it particularly strange; he simply attributed it to his own lack of experience and the fact that his master was truly too wealthy. He assumed it was all because the grade of the recovery treasure was high.

In reality, although the treasure Tang Ping gave him was indeed much better than what Golden Cauldron King had used before, it wasn't to such an exaggerated extent—at most, it was a few hundred to a thousand times more effective.

The real reason Golden Cauldron King recovered so quickly was because Tang Ping had just given him a tool-man slot and had adjusted the distribution ratio to the maximum.

Of course, Golden Cauldron King dared not ask about the reason for this, and Tang Ping naturally had no need to explain anything to a slave. He could think whatever he wanted.

"Hmm, if you've recovered, let's continue the teleportation. Keep these remaining recovery-type treasures for yourself; you can't always wait for me to provide them on the spot," Tang Ping said indifferently.

Seeing that the recovery effect of the treasure was so strong, Golden Cauldron King naturally imagined how expensive it must be. Having used it and still having more than half left, he naturally dared not keep it for himself and took the initiative to return it to Tang Ping.

But Tang Ping hadn't bought these things for his own use in the first place—he wasn't an Immortal yet and had no divine body to recover. They were meant for his future Immortal-level slaves. Although Golden Cauldron King had come as a bit of a surprise, he was an Immortal-level slave nonetheless, so Tang Ping would naturally give him a share.

A slave would not contradict his master. Golden Cauldron King decisively withdrew the treasure he was holding out and immediately began preparing for the God Kingdom teleportation.

A blinding light shone from Golden Cauldron King once again, and the temporary passage opened.

In an instant, the spaceship passed through the temporary passage and descended into a desolate starry sky.

"Master, we have arrived at the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area. This is the star map; our current position is here. How shall we proceed?" Golden Cauldron King respectfully pointed out the star map to show Tang Ping their current location.

If they had followed their previous agreement, Golden Cauldron King would have finished his duty once he teleported Tang Ping here, and after Tang Ping paid the reward, Golden Cauldron King would have been free to go wherever he pleased.

But now that Golden Cauldron King had become Tang Ping's slave, he naturally had to follow his master.

"Tuanzi, let's go home." Tang Ping didn't pay any attention to Golden Cauldron King; he glanced at the star map and directly ordered his intelligent lifeform, Tuanzi.

The spaceship immediately began to accelerate, and soon it exceeded the speed of light and entered the Dark Universe.

It had to be said that Golden Cauldron King's God Kingdom coordinates were quite good; they were not only within the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area but also not far from Earth. At the speed of Tang Ping's top-tier F-grade spaceship, it took less than a month to successfully return to the outer space of the Solar System.

"Hmm... Golden Cauldron, use your divine power to change your appearance. Also, remember to restrain your aura; don't scare anyone." Tang Ping glanced at Golden Cauldron King, who, despite being of the Human Race, still had significant differences from Earthlings, and gave a calm instruction.

"Yes, Master!" Golden Cauldron King naturally complied with everything. After all, once one reached the Immortal level, changing one's physique and appearance was trivial; they primarily identified others by the differences in their auras.

After thinking for a moment and deciding there was nothing else to note, Tang Ping instructed Tuanzi to activate the spaceship's stealth mode and cruise at a steady speed toward the dreamlike blue planet.

Without attracting anyone's attention, Tang Ping's clones returned silently to his home on Earth.

Since Tang Ping's original body had never left, everything seemed exactly the same as usual to everyone else.

Only Tang Ping himself knew that things were different—everything was different. This return of his clones didn't just bring back a large number of Heavy Treasures and Supreme Treasures.

More importantly, it was the defense system he had specifically built for Earth while on Craftsman God Planet. This was the most important reason he had his clones make this special trip back. Otherwise, his original body and clones on Earth wouldn't have had such an urgent need for Heavy Treasures and Supreme Treasures, and there would have been no need to rush back.
