Flint Star World

"you want a Ten Thousand Feather Tree sapling?"

Hearing Jiang Luo's request, even Ji Chen, standing nearby, grew a little anxious.

The most important thing for the Ancient Wheel Hall's geniuses was to improve themselves, not spend precious resources cultivating plant life.

Marquis Huanming smiled faintly. "All right. Give me the address, and I'll send it to you aboard a Giant Axe Arena ship.

"Also, if you want to go to the Gulun Secret Realm, I can send someone to take you."

Jiang Luo quickly replied, "Thank you, my lord. I don't plan to go to the Gulun Secret Realm just yet."

After leaving Marquis Huanming's palace, Ji Chen sighed in exasperation. "Do you know how much effort and how many resources it takes to cultivate plant life like a Ten Thousand Feather Tree?

"Your greatest task right now should be to comprehend the Fire Origin Law as soon as possible, then use the two Origin Laws of water and fire to touch upon the Space Law.

"If you do that, you'll definitely be able to enter the Giant Axe Arena in a hundred years!"

Enter the Giant Axe Arena in a hundred years?

Jiang Luo was a little puzzled. "Wasn't the Peak Warrior Battle supposed to take place in more than twenty years?"

Ji Chen choked on his words, then laughed helplessly. "You're still thinking about the Peak Warrior Battle? The Strong Ones Battle has nothing to do with you.

"There's a huge gap between Star Level geniuses and Universe Level geniuses. You've only just crossed the threshold of the Origin Law. If you entered the Universe-Level Expert Tournament, you wouldn't even make the top thousand in the World Zone qualifying battle.

"I meant that in a hundred years, the Gulun Universe Kingdom branch of the Giant Axe Arena will come to the Holy Temple to select Star Level geniuses.

"If you meet the requirements, you'll also have a chance to enter the Giant Axe Arena's Core Layer.

"Besides the Genius Battle and the Strong Ones Battle, the Giant Axe Arena and the Virtual Universe Company have other ways to join. After all, the gap between two Genius Battles is far too long.

"Of course, if you enter the Giant Axe Arena this way, you'll only be able to enter Youyuan Secret Realm, the least prestigious of the Four Great Secret Realms.

"But through the Genius Battle or the Strong Ones Battle, some peerless geniuses have a chance to enter Shenshi Secret Realm or even Giant Axe Secret Realm directly."

Ji Chen spoke solemnly. "If you can touch upon the Space Law within the next hundred years, you'll have a chance of catching the Giant Axe Arena's attention and entering its Core Layer.

"So don't waste your time and resources on external things. Once you enter the Giant Axe Arena, you'll have plenty of resources and time to cultivate auxiliary plant life."

Jiang Luo said gratefully, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother Ji."

Although he certainly wouldn't take the advice, he appreciated the kindness behind it.

As soon as Jiang Luo and Ji Chen left the palace, Bu Li spoke up. "He actually isn't in a hurry to go to the Gulun Secret Realm. It seems he really does have a keepsake left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord."

He had thoroughly investigated Jiang Luo.

He had even discovered that the Obsidian Company had been secretly searching for Jiang Luo.

Combining that with the several wondrous cultivation techniques Jiang Luo practiced, none of which Bu Li had ever heard of, and his decision not to go to the Gulun Secret Realm, Bu Li could now draw a definite conclusion.

After all, if Jiang Luo could resist the temptation of the Gulun Secret Realm, Bu Li couldn't think of any other reason besides the treasure left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord.

"With Jiang Luo's talent, even the arrogant Flint Star Sector Lord would probably be tempted..." Bu Li's expression was complicated.

Who wouldn't want the treasure left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord?

Across the entire Huanming Star Sector, perhaps only their lord could remain unmoved.

Marquis Huanming narrowed his eyes. "The Flint Star Sector Lord was discovered dead not long after returning from the Outer-Region Battlefield. He must have been seriously injured there. I've never managed to uncover the truth behind his death, either."

Bu Li hesitated. "Then should we..."

Help him?

Marquis Huanming naturally understood what his subordinate had left unsaid. He replied coolly, "Whether he obtains the Flint Star Sector Lord's inheritance is up to him. Besides, there's more than one entrance to the Flint Star World. What could I do to help?"

"Understood." Bu Li sighed inwardly.

It was true that not all the entrances to the Flint Star World were under their control.

But given Marquis Huanming's position, if he warned the Obsidian Company, Helan Star, the Tianli Sacred Land, and the other forces, he could solve most of Jiang Luo's problems.

Clearly, Marquis Huanming's regard for Jiang Luo was limited.

If this kid can comprehend the Space Law, the lord might actually lend him a hand... Bu Li pondered.

To someone like Marquis Huanming, geniuses who comprehended the Lower Origin Law were beneath notice, no matter how strong they were.

Only those who touched upon higher laws could draw even a little attention.

Then Bu Li silently shook his head. Higher laws aren't so easy to touch upon. By the time the Giant Axe Arena comes to select Star Level geniuses in a hundred years, there's a good chance he still won't have mastered even a trace of the Space Law.

In the silent starry sky,

a spaceship emerged from the Dark Universe.

Looking at the distant Imperial Capital Star of the Movita Empire in the simulated exterior view, Jiang Luo sighed. "Ten years. I've finally come back."

His main reason for not going to the Gulun Secret Realm wasn't the inheritance or the treasure left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord.

Or rather, those weren't the main reasons.

In his eyes, no treasure or inheritance could compare with spreading faith and gathering wish power.

He hadn't yet laid the foundations of his power. If he went to the distant Gulun Secret Realm now, what would happen to Emperor Luo's faith?

That was his greatest secret and the most important foundation he had.

"But if I can get my hands on the Flint Star Sector Lord's treasure, I should still do my best to secure it."

Cultivating faith, protecting his life planets, keeping them secret—all these arrangements required a massive investment.

So the more money, the better. He wouldn't turn any of it away.

After spending a night reuniting with his parents and younger siblings, who lived on Imperial Capital Star, Jiang Luo went to an apartment.

Wu He, who had built himself a metal body, carefully took out a Crimson Token.

"This is the keepsake my master left me. With it, you can open a World within a World once.

"You've crossed the threshold of the Origin Law. Although it isn't the Law of Fire, you've still met the standard to undergo my master's test.

"But I advise you not to act rashly. It would be best to cultivate for a while longer and make thorough preparations first."

Jiang Luo took the keepsake and nodded. "Don't worry. I know how dangerous the Flint Star World is."

During his journey here, he had already studied the information about the Flint Star World in detail.

When the Flint Star Sector Lord was still alive, the Flint Star World had been open to the public.

It had more than a dozen publicly known entrances.

After news spread of the Flint Star Sector Lord's death, all the various forces wanted to obtain the treasure he had hidden within the world.

Over the past several thousand years, most of the entrances had been destroyed.

They hadn't been destroyed by anyone else. They had self-destructed!

Before his death, the Flint Star Sector Lord had modified the entrances. Only those at Star Level or below could enter.

If anyone above Star Level tried to force their way in, the entrance would self-destruct.

By now, only three entrances to the Flint Star World remained.

The first entrance was under the control of the Huanming Army.

The second was controlled by the Obsidian Company.

The third entrance was under the control of eight top forces, including the Void Grasp, the Longbei Divine Kingdom, and the Tianli Sacred Land.

Millions of Star Level fighters from various forces were inside the Flint Star World.

With the privileges of an Ancient Wheel Hall disciple, Jiang Luo could forge an identity and secretly enter the Flint Star World through the entrance controlled by the Huanming Army without much difficulty.

But once he opened the World within a World, he wouldn't be able to hide the commotion.

According to the intelligence, the World within a World in the Flint Star World had been opened several times over the past few thousand years. Each time, it had unleashed a bloodbath.
