Son of the Sun

"This feeling, it has returned!"

Li Qingxu stood on the rooftop facing the morning sun, his black hair cascading like a waterfall, his skin as flawless as immortal jade.

He wore a white robe with medium-length sleeves that fluttered in the wind, making him appear like an immortal.

In a trance, it seemed as if a great sun had manifested behind him!

Having ascended to the Dao Palace Secret Realm and evolved the beginning of the human body's internal universe, his cultivation realm had improved significantly.

At this moment, he was in harmony with the heavens and merged with the earth, possessing a sensation of unity with nature and the natural flow of the Dao.

"Councilor Li, a message from the Dojo Master!"

On the rooftop of another high-rise building, a middle-aged man dressed in a red robe shouted aloud.

"Oh? When did Hong emerge from seclusion?"

Li Qingxu turned around and took a single step; beneath his feet, Dao rhythms emerged, weaving into patterns as if a banished immortal had descended to the mortal world.

In an instant, he appeared beside the red-robed middle-aged man.

"Reporting to Councilor Li, the Dojo Master has been out of seclusion for two months. He came by previously, but seeing that you were still in cultivation, he returned to the headquarters and instructed me to wait here for your emergence."

The red-robed middle-aged man replied respectfully.

"Tsk, he didn't even take the Primordial Fighter Jet with him."

Li Qingxu glanced at the fighter jet hovering in the sky and took the communication device with a smile.

"Return to headquarters immediately; the device is not secure."

The brief words proved just how anxious Hong was at this moment.

"It seems he has gained some insight into the Secret of Movement."

Seeing this, Li Qingxu flicked his sleeve, took the red-robed middle-aged man with him, and entered the Primordial Wisdom Fighter Jet.

The fighter jet instantly tore through the sky and vanished from sight.

"Good, Councilor Li is truly like the Son of the Sun."

"Porphy, I agree with your words."

Two white-skinned martial artists looked toward the vanished fighter jet with expressions of reverence.

Hongning Base City, the top floor of the Limit Dojo headquarters.

Inside Hong's private cultivation room.

"Have you truly broken through to the Planetary Level?"

As soon as Li Qingxu entered the room, Hong asked with an impatient expression.

"Not yet."

Li Qingxu shook his head.

He had only broken through to the first layer of the Dao Palace Secret Realm; in terms of realm, he was still equivalent to the Planetary Level.

However, in terms of strength, he had undergone a qualitative leap, far beyond what the Planetary Level could compare to.

"Not yet? You caused such a commotion and still didn't break through?"

Hong was stunned.

He could influence the sun in the cosmic void and even cause it to manifest anomalies, yet he still hadn't broken through the Planetary Level.

If this were told to others, no one would believe it.

"Truly not, just an improvement in strength."

Li Qingxu felt somewhat helpless as well.

"Shall we test it? I have also gained something from comprehending that Dao Diagram."

Hong asked, his face full of fighting spirit.

After emerging from seclusion, he had sparred with Thor several times, but now Thor could not even withstand a single move from him.

He couldn't even react to his attacks.

"Very well."

A sharp glint appeared in Li Qingxu's eyes as he extended his arm toward Hong and gripped the empty air.

"You!"

Hong's expression changed drastically; he looked at Li Qingxu as if he were seeing a monster.

A terrifying aura had suddenly erupted around him, completely binding him to the point where he couldn't even move a single finger.

That sensation was as if the space around him had been controlled by Li Qingxu.

It was simply inconceivable!

According to what Li Qingxu said, he had not yet broken through to the Planetary Level.

But if they were truly both at the Planetary Level, could the gap really be this vast?

"What path are you walking, exactly? How is it that I cannot even withstand a single move of yours?"

Hong asked with a hint of curiosity.

"I am different from you all. The path I walk is the cultivation system of the Human Body Secret Realms. I view myself as a small universe, excavating my own potential and opening my own 'gates' to run parallel with—or even surpass—the Great Universe."

Li Qingxu's voice rang out slowly.

"Hm? How are you different?"

Hong asked, his face etched with confusion.

He had been prepared to listen intently to Li Qingxu's cultivation path, but after that sentence about being different, not a single sound followed.

He could even see Li Qingxu's lips moving, yet he could not hear a single syllable.

Even though he knew a bit of lip-reading, when he tried to mimic the mouth shapes to produce the sounds, he found he could not utter a single one.

"You cannot hear what I said after that?"

A flash of surprise crossed Li Qingxu's face, but he understood instantly.

The Supreme Rule!

Everything in the Primordial Universe operates under the Supreme Rule; once something touches upon its restrictions, it is forbidden.

Just like the outsider Mountain Guest, the Supreme Rule does not allow him to interfere excessively with the people and affairs of this universe, nor does it allow him to speak of the Origin Continent.

Therefore, Mountain Guest could only allow Luo Feng to discover his secrets when he was breaking through the cycle of reincarnation.

In that sense, he and Mountain Guest were somewhat similar; both were outsiders, and once they spoke of information exceeding the scope of the Primordial Universe, they would be restricted by the Supreme Rule.

Wait.

Li Qingxu suddenly realized something.

If this were the case, did it not mean that if someone wanted to reverse time and space to investigate his origins, they would also be restricted by the Supreme Rule?

"Interesting."

A smile appeared on Li Qingxu's face.

He had originally been worried that after entering the universe, some Universe Masters might reverse time and space to pry into his secrets.

But now, it seemed he had nothing to worry about.

Yet, that didn't seem right either. Previously, he had used his Sacred Body divine power to outline the Dao Diagram of the Secret of Movement for Hong to contemplate.

He hadn't seen the Supreme Rule intervene to destroy that Dao Diagram of the Secret of Movement.

"What is it?"

Hong asked curiously.

In his eyes, Li Qingxu's face had been furrowed in thought one moment and smiling the next.

It was as if he were delving deeply into something.

"It's nothing. My path is one you cannot walk."

Li Qingxu could not easily explain the Supreme Rule, so he could only say it simply.

"You call that nothing?!"

Hong remarked casually, "Forget it. In two days, come with me to the Elite Training Camp; there is a very promising young man there."

"Very well."

Li Qingxu nodded.

The very promising young man in Hong's mouth must be Luo Feng.

August 1st, early morning.

The one hundred and ninety-three students of the Elite Training Camp gathered on the lawn in front of the Nine-Story Building.

Most were chatting in groups of three or five, all fully armed with backpacks and their respective weapons.

Today was the departure day for the life-and-death adventure, but before setting off, everyone was waiting for the arrival of two people.

The world's strongest, Hong!

The Son of the Sun, Li Qingxu!

"Why aren't they here yet? I'm so curious about what kind of person the Son of the Sun really is."

Luo Feng and his two companions sat on the grass chatting, Zhao Ruo beside them saying with stars in her eyes.

"Oh right, Luo Feng, I heard you are very close with the Son of the Sun? That he even went out of his way to save you?"

"That's not true. How is it that these rumors get more outrageous the more they spread?"

Luo Feng said helplessly, then turned to Shi Jiang beside him to change the subject: "Senior Brother Shi Jiang, have you met the Dojo Master? What is he actually like?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ruo also looked toward Shi Jiang; after all, among the three, only Shi Jiang, as a veteran student, had seen Hong before.

"Dojo Master Hong... how should I put it?"

"A god!"

Shi Jiang's eyes held a trace of reverence, along with a strange glimmer, as he emphasized the final two words.

He had seen other Inspectors and existences beyond the Wargod level, but compared to the General Dojo Master Hong, they felt like mere stars standing beside the sun.

"Then how do they compare to the Son of the Sun? Who is stronger?"

Zhao Ruo suddenly asked, lost in thought.

In an instant, Luo Feng and Shi Jiang fell silent.

Who was stronger between the two? Only a ghost would know, and besides, was that something they could just talk about casually?

"Ahem."

Shi Jiang cleared his throat and forced the conversation forward: "Junior brother, junior sister, you should focus more of your energy on the upcoming life-and-death adventure."

"This time, our life-and-death adventure is taking us to the Australia Continent!"

Before the Great Nirvana, the Australia Continent was teeming with animals, with a total population of only ten million or so.

When the Great Nirvana arrived, the monsters that mutated on the Australia Continent multiplied, and their numbers became the highest in the world.

The entire continent was a nest for monsters, ranking alongside the Sahara in Africa and the Amazon in South America as one of the three great forbidden zones.

Occasionally, super organizations would dispatch special squads to the continent for training.

And this time, Luo Feng and the others were heading to the Australia Continent.

"Hm?"

Luo Feng couldn't help but look up at the sky, and many other students followed suit.

A sonic boom had already erupted in the sky, echoing down toward them.

A blurred shadow had appeared above the Elite Training Camp, and as it solidified, it revealed itself to be a blood-red triangular fighter jet!

"They're here!"

"Quick, everyone up."
