Guidance from Baron Realm Lord

Bai Yuefeng quickened his pace to walk alongside Qi Tian, beginning his introduction.

"Lord Baron is a powerful World Lord who has risen within our Beihua Branch over the last millennium. It is said he can rival ordinary Immortal powerhouses, and his status here is exceptionally high."

Watching Bai Yuefeng speak of World Lord Baron with such clear admiration and longing, Qi Tian asked curiously.

"If a World Lord can rival an Immortal, shouldn't such an existence head to that place?"

The "that place" Qi Tian referred to was the four great secret realms of the headquarters, but as a Universe-level practitioner from a medium-sized empire, Bai Yuefeng could not access specific information at that level.

"Everyone thinks so, and even the Branch Head has personally inquired about it, but Lord Baron publicly stated he would not go, while simultaneously declaring he would ascend to Immortality within a millennium."

"Now that the millennium deadline set by Lord Baron is approaching, his promotion to Immortality is frequently discussed by everyone here; that is how I came to know of him."

As Bai Yuefeng spoke, the two of them arrived at the back door of the lecture hall without realizing it.

Qi Tian followed Bai Yuefeng into the hall. It was a vast space with wooden flooring and rows of neatly arranged meditation cushions.

He swept his gaze across the room; there were over a thousand cushions, enough to accommodate a thousand students for a lecture.

At the very front of the hall was an open area with a raised platform about a meter high, serving as the podium for the instructor.

At this moment, many people were already sitting on the cushions near the podium, waiting for the lecture to begin. Bai Yuefeng led Qi Tian to the front section, where they found seats and sat down.

"Do you know about Baron's plan to break through to Immortality within a millennium?"

"I heard from the instructor that once Teacher Baron breaks through to Immortality, he will immediately become a powerhouse among Immortals. It's truly impressive."

"Perhaps we will be the ones to witness Teacher Baron's ascension."

Qi Tian sat cross-legged on his cushion, listening to Bai Yuefeng and other familiar students discuss World Lord Baron.

"To have the confidence to declare a breakthrough within a set time, I suspect World Lord Baron was already capable of it back then, but simply chose not to for some reason."

Qi Tian was also curious about what exactly made this World Lord Baron so special.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the lecture to begin.

The hall was packed. Aside from a small number of Universe-level students who had grasped the Origin Law of Gold, most of those present were Domain Lords.

Amidst the anticipation of the crowd, a flash of golden light appeared on the podium at the front of the hall, and the figure of World Lord Baron materialized.

"Greetings, Teacher Baron."

The moment World Lord Baron appeared, the many students spoke in unison. Qi Tian followed suit, greeting the instructor while sizing up this legendary figure of the Beihua Branch.

On the podium, World Lord Baron's appearance resembled that of a Caucasian from Earth, with long golden hair and faint dark-gold patterns etched into the skin of his face.

A golden droplet mark sat on his forehead, clearly indicating he had been acknowledged by the Origin Law of Gold.

"Today, I will be teaching the fundamental applications of the Origin Law of Gold, using the first form of the God-Deriving Weapon as a demonstration. Watch closely."

Baron's voice was low and slightly raspy. The moment the students heard "God-Deriving Weapon," their eyes lit up instantly.

As one of the nine great weapons for Controllers, almost everyone present knew of it, and several Domain Lords even used this very weapon.

Swish.

Swish.

Swish.

As World Lord Baron raised his right hand, nine small golden swords floated above his palm, then began to move under his precise control.

The nine golden swords danced above the students' heads at a steady, rhythmic pace. Infused with World Lord Baron's Force, the nine golden rays traced clear, visible flight paths.

Qi Tian stared unblinkingly at the nine golden trajectories, watching them sweep overhead to form a pattern resembling a rotating galaxy.

So that's how it is. If I were to use Hundred Flowers Bloom to manipulate the petals...

In his mind, Qi Tian continuously simulated the flight of scattered petals following the trajectories of the nine golden swords. The profound mysteries of the Origin Law of Gold began to stir within him.

In the classroom, a few of the Domain Lords also gained new insights from Baron's demonstration, their own domains beginning to shroud only themselves.

Within the one-meter radius of their domains, they attempted to apply the Origin Law of Gold, causing the entire classroom to sparkle with flickers of golden light.

Sitting in the front row, Qi Tian also used his domain to control the space within one meter of his body, releasing a sliver of Force to experiment with the Origin Law of Gold.

Slowly, Qi Tian's comprehension deepened, and a Golden Lotus formed from a wisp of Force began to rotate slowly over his chest.

"By channeling the law this way, I can add a touch of flexibility to the raw power, making the attack less rigid."

"Hm? Why can't it take shape..."

As Qi Tian experimented further, the golden Force lotus on his chest dissipated, only to be reconstructed by the Origin Law of Gold into a new flower.

As the lotus slowly bloomed, each petal triggered the flow of the Origin Law of Gold as it unfurled. This sight left Bai Yuefeng, sitting beside him, completely dumbfounded.

Many of the Domain-level students also frowned as they watched the golden lotus bloom on Qi Tian's chest, the petals stirring the golden law energy, as if they had realized something.

"Such powerful aptitude for the Origin Law of Gold. In that case, I shall give you a hand."

World Lord Baron sat cross-legged on the podium, watching Qi Tian's attempt to combine the Force lotus with his insights into the golden law, a look of appreciation in his eyes.

He raised his right hand, slowly clenching his palm into a fist above his head, and the nine golden swords condensed into a single phantom blade.

As the phantom sword appeared, eight more phantom swords manifested around it, as if they had been replicated.

A total of nine phantom swords were condensing bit by bit in mid-air, though the speed of this condensation was sluggish, allowing the scene of the Origin Law of Gold merging to be clearly displayed before Qi Tian's eyes.

Slowly, the nine phantom swords transitioned from illusory to real, coalescing into a single golden sword over a foot in length.

Meanwhile, the lotus on Qi Tian's chest saw its previously bloomed petals close once more, the incredibly dense Law of Gold hidden within the bud.

Seeing this, Baron knew that Qi Tian was capable of comprehending even more, so he did not hold back, directly manifesting eight more golden swords.

These nine golden swords acted like a foundation, echoing one another and causing countless Sword Qi to erupt, as if they were an army under command.

Golden, silk-like Sword Qi swirled around the nine golden swords, the golden threads and golden swords resonating with each other to slowly form the phantom of a giant sword.

Qi Tian was also manipulating his own lotus to bloom once again; as each petal opened, its tip carved out a golden thread.

Every golden thread that appeared was like an incomparably sharp blade, causing the surrounding air to feel as though it were being sliced.

As the golden threads grew in number, they slowly outlined a lotus pattern, enveloping the lotus composed of the Origin Law of Gold within.

"Clang."

An abrupt sound rang out as two golden threads collided during their intertwining, producing the sound of metal striking metal.

Immediately, the other golden threads seemed to be affected, slowly descending into chaos until they finally exploded.
