Flint Star World

"You want a Ten Thousand Feather Tree sapling?"

Hearing Jiang Luo's request, Ji Chen, standing to the side, grew somewhat anxious.

The most important thing for the geniuses of the Ancient Wheel Hall was to improve themselves, not to squander precious resources on cultivating plant lifeforms.

Marquis Huanming smiled faintly: "Very well. Give me the address, and I will have it sent to you via a Giant Axe Arena spacecraft.

"Additionally, if you intend to go to the Gulun Secret Realm, I can send someone to escort you."

Jiang Luo quickly replied: "Many thanks, Lord, but I do not plan on going to the Gulun Secret Realm for the time being."

After leaving the palace of Marquis Huanming, Ji Chen sighed, feeling as though he were dealing with someone who refused to live up to expectations: "Do you know how much energy and resources it takes to cultivate a plant lifeform like the Ten Thousand Feather Tree?

"Your primary task right now should be to comprehend the Origin Law of Fire as much as possible, and then use both the Water and Fire Origin Laws to touch upon the Space Law.

"If you can do that, you will certainly be able to enter the Giant Axe Arena in a hundred years!"

Enter the Giant Axe Arena in a hundred years?

Jiang Luo was somewhat puzzled: "Isn't the pinnacle genius battle supposed to arrive in twenty-some years?"

Ji Chen choked, caught between laughter and tears: "You're still thinking about the pinnacle genius battle? That has nothing to do with you.

"Star-level geniuses are far inferior to Universe-level geniuses. You have only just stepped across the threshold of the Origin Laws; if you were placed in the Universe-level genius battle, you wouldn't even make the top one thousand in the preliminary world zones.

"I am talking about the Giant Axe Arena's Gulun Universe Kingdom branch coming to the Sacred Land to select Star-level geniuses in a hundred years.

"If you meet the standards, you will also have a chance to enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena.

"Beyond the genius battles and the warrior battles, the Giant Axe Arena and the Virtual Universe Company have other channels for entry; after all, the interval between the two genius battles is far too long.

"Of course, entering the Giant Axe Arena through this method only grants access to the Youyuan Secret Realm, the lowest of the four secret realms.

"If it were the genius battles or warrior battles, some peerless geniuses would have the chance to enter the Shenshi Secret Realm or even the Giant Axe Secret Realm directly."

Ji Chen said in a deep voice: "If you can touch upon the Space Law within these hundred years, you will have a chance to be scouted by the Giant Axe Arena and enter the core layer.

"So, do not waste your energy and resources on external objects. Once you enter the Giant Axe Arena, you will have plenty of resources and time to cultivate auxiliary plant lifeforms."

Jiang Luo said gratefully: "Many thanks for your guidance, Senior Brother Ji."

Although he certainly would not listen, he appreciated the good intentions.

As soon as Jiang Luo and Ji Chen left the palace, Bu Li spoke up: "He is actually in no rush to go to the Gulun Secret Realm. It seems he truly possesses a token left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord."

He had conducted a thorough investigation into Jiang Luo.

He had even discovered that the Obsidian Company had been secretly tracking Jiang Luo's whereabouts.

Combined with the fact that Jiang Luo practiced several mysterious techniques he had never heard of, and his decision not to go to the Gulun Secret Realm, Bu Li had already reached a conclusion.

After all, he could think of no other reason why someone would be able to resist the temptation of the Gulun Secret Realm other than the treasure left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord.

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

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

In the entire Huanming Star Sector, he feared that only his own Lord could remain unmoved.

Marquis Huanming narrowed his eyes: "The Flint Star Sector Lord was discovered to have fallen shortly after returning from the outer-territory battlefield. He must have been severely injured there, but I have never been able to uncover the truth behind his death."

Bu Li hesitated and asked: "Then, should we..."

Help him?

Marquis Huanming naturally understood his subordinate's unspoken meaning and said indifferently: "Whether he can obtain the inheritance of the Flint Star Sector Lord depends on himself. Besides, there is more than one entrance to the Flint Star World; what could I possibly do to help?"

"Understood." Bu Li sighed inwardly.

The entrances to the Flint Star World were indeed not all under their control.

But with Marquis Huanming's status, if he were to issue a warning to the Obsidian Company, Helan Star, the Tianli Sacred Land, and other forces, it would be enough to resolve the vast majority of Jiang Luo's troubles.

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

If this kid can comprehend the Space Law, I suspect the Lord might actually reach out to help, Bu Li mused.

For an existence like Marquis Huanming, geniuses who only comprehended lower-tier Origin Laws were of no concern, no matter how strong their combat power was.

Only those involving higher-tier laws could attract even a modicum of his attention.

He immediately shook his head to himself: Higher-tier laws are not so easily touched. By the time the Giant Axe Arena comes to select Star-level geniuses in a hundred years, he will likely not have grasped even a sliver of the Space Law.

In the silent starry sky.

A spacecraft glided out from the dark universe.

Looking at the distant Imperial Capital Star of the Movita Empire in the external simulation, Jiang Luo sighed: "Ten years. Finally, I have returned."

He was not avoiding the Gulun Secret Realm because of the inheritance or treasure left by the Flint Star Sector Lord.

Or rather, that was not the primary reason.

In his eyes, no treasure or inheritance could compare to the spreading of faith and the gathering of willpower.

His foundation had yet to be forged; if he were to head to the distant Gulun Secret Realm now, what would become of the faith in 'Emperor Luo'?

This was his greatest secret and his most vital foundation.

However, I should strive to obtain the treasures left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord if possible.

The cultivation of faith, the protection of life planets, and the maintenance of secrecy—this entire series of arrangements required massive investment.

Naturally, the more money, the better; he would never turn it away.

After spending a night reuniting with his parents, younger brother, and younger sister who resided on the Imperial Capital Star, Jiang Luo arrived at an apartment.

Wu He, who had crafted a metallic body for himself, cautiously produced a Crimson Token:

"This is the token the Master gave me. With it, you can open the World within a World once.

"You have already crossed the threshold of the origin laws; although it is not the law of fire, you have reached the standard to accept the Master's trial.

"However, I advise you not to act blindly. It would be best to cultivate for a while longer and make sufficient preparations before proceeding."

Jiang Luo nodded after taking the token: "Rest assured, I am aware of the dangers of the Flint Star World."

During his journey here, he had already thoroughly researched the intelligence reports on the Flint Star World.

When the Flint Star Sector Lord was still alive, the Flint Star World had been an open world.

It possessed over a dozen public entrances.

As news of the Flint Star Sector Lord's fall spread, various factions sought to obtain the treasures he had hidden within the world.

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

They were not destroyed by others, but had self-destructed!

Before his fall, the Flint Star Sector Lord had remodeled the entrances so that only those at the Stellar level or below could enter.

If any powerhouse above the Stellar level attempted to force their way in, the entrance would self-destruct.

Currently, 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 joint control of eight top-tier factions, including the Void Grasp, the Longbei Divine Kingdom, and the Tianli Sacred Land.

Within the Flint Star World, there were millions of Stellar-level individuals from various factions.

Relying on his privileges as a disciple of the Ancient Wheel Hall to forge an identity, it would not be difficult for Jiang Luo to secretly infiltrate the Flint Star World through the entrance controlled by the Huanming Army.

But once the World within a World was opened, the commotion would be impossible to hide.

According to intelligence, the World within a World in the Flint Star World had been opened several times over the past few thousand years, and each opening had been a bloody affair.
