Mountain of Myriad Laws, Beware the Blood Demon King!

Ji Chen assumed Jiang Luo had been discouraged by the difficulty of the Mountain of Laws, so he quickly added, "The Mountain of Laws is only one of the three great sacred mountains."

"It is indeed the mountain where rewards are the hardest to obtain."

"The other two sacred mountains are much better."

"Take the Mountain of Souls, for example; it is divided into a total of 1,000 steps."

"It tests the spiritual force amplitude of a spirit reader. The number of steps you can climb represents your multiplier of spiritual force amplitude."

"If you can climb to the 100th step, it means your spiritual force amplitude has reached the perfect limit for a traditional Sector Lord powerhouse—that is, 100 times!"

"If you can reach the summit, it means your spiritual force amplitude has reached 1,000 times!"

"Heh, almost no one can do that. Even among those Sector Lord-level senior brothers, the most they can reach is around the 300th step."

"I've heard that if one's spiritual force amplitude reaches 1,000 times, they can enter the core layer of the Giant Axe Arena directly."

"There would be no need to participate in any genius battles or powerhouse tournaments, nor wait for the Giant Axe Arena to send people for selection."

"Climbing the Mountain of Souls is much simpler. More than half of the Star-level spirit readers in the Ancient Wheel Hall can reach a spiritual force amplitude of 50 or 60 times."

"However, the rewards for the Mountain of Souls are much lower. For Star-level climbers below the 100th step, each step counts as one Hunyuan Unit."

"If you can climb to the 99th step, you can receive a reward of 99 Hunyuan Units; this reward is actually quite generous."

"Between the 100th and 199th steps, each step rewards 100 Hunyuan Units."

"If a Star-level spirit reader can reach above the 200th step, the reward for each step increases to 10,000 Hunyuan Units. If you can climb that high, the reward is truly terrifying."

"Of course, for Universe-level, the standard is raised to the 300th step, and above the 300th step, each step is worth 10,000 Hunyuan Units..."

Ji Chen's voice trailed off as he spoke, and he looked at Jiang Luo with a hint of embarrassment. "How could I forget? Junior Brother Jiang is a fighter, not a spirit reader controller. The rewards from the Mountain of Souls are out of reach for you."

Jiang Luo: ...That might not necessarily be true.

His battles inside the Trial Tower relied purely on sword techniques, and he was indeed a fighter-style practitioner who had never revealed his methods as a spirit reader controller.

This was also the reason why the various factions in the Huanming Star Sector did not suspect that he had obtained the treasure from the World within a World in the Flint Star World.

The technique he displayed in the World within a World was the Thirteen Sword Phantoms, which to outsiders looked exactly like a high-tier spiritual force weapon.

However, this Mountain of Souls truly came as a pleasant surprise.

Although the two accounts left behind by the Flint Star Sector Lord totaled 110,000 Hunyuan Units.

He had already spent 56,000 Hunyuan Units to cultivate the Ten Thousand Feather Tree to the Sector Lord level.

Moving forward, the Ten Thousand Feather Tree would need to continuously gestate sub-trees, spread its branches and leaves, and expand the reach of Jiang Luo's faith, developing life-bearing planets one by one across the sixteen star systems under his command while assuming the role of their protector.

This was money he could not afford to skimp on.

Furthermore, in nine years, he would have to attend a medium-scale auction for Immortals across 1,008 universe nations to purchase treasures containing the Origin Laws of Fire.

He was indeed in urgent need of ways to earn money.

Eloise felt that Jiang Luo might be very disappointed, so she quickly said, "It doesn't matter if Junior Brother Jiang cannot climb the Mountain of Souls; there is still the Mountain of Power."

"The Mountain of Power has a total of one hundred steps, and each step is equivalent to one unit of force output."

"Below the Domain Lord level, for every step you climb, you can receive a reward of 1 Hunyuan Unit."

"Heh, although the reward amount is the smallest, with Junior Brother's talent, your force output should at least reach 30 or 40 times, which would still be a reward of several dozen Hunyuan Units."

"And if you can climb to the 100th step, it means you have reached the perfect force output of 100 units, and you can directly receive a reward of 10,000 Hunyuan Units!"

"Of course, this is limited to those below the Domain Lord level..."

Jiang Luo nodded to himself. Not bad; this was another opportunity to fleece the system.

One had to admit, the Gulun Kingdom Lord was truly generous and incredibly wealthy.

"Are there only these three sacred mountains?" Jiang Luo asked, still wanting more.

Eloise retorted, "How many sacred mountains do you want?"

Jiang Luo felt a sense of regret. Why wasn't there a sacred mountain that tested the heart and will?

He would absolutely fleece the Gulun Kingdom Lord dry!

Ji Chen chuckled and said, "Actually, there is one more mountain, though it doesn't have much to do with us. It is called the Mountain of Myriad Laws!"

"Junior Brother Jiang first entered the Sacred Hall by staying in the Hall of Myriad Laws. The tens of thousands of secret techniques and ultimate arts that can be learned for free there all come from this Mountain of Myriad Laws."

"And that is only a portion of the secret techniques on the Mountain of Myriad Laws."

"The Mountain of Myriad Laws is inscribed with many secret techniques and ultimate arts created by the geniuses of the Sacred Hall throughout history!"

"Most of them were created by Sector Lord-level powerhouses."

"The Kingdom Lord once issued an edict: anyone who can leave their own self-created secret technique or ultimate art on the Mountain of Myriad Laws will receive a reward."

Jiang Luo's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Seeing Jiang Luo's reaction, Eloise shook her head and smiled bitterly. "I had the same reaction as you when I first heard it, but are the Kingdom Lord's rewards really that easy to earn?"

"Not just any secret technique or ultimate art can be inscribed on the cliff face of the Mountain of Myriad Laws."

"If you don't believe me, you can go and try."

"You can create any technique and carve it onto the cliff face, but the imprint will vanish the moment you finish."

"I've heard the entire Mountain of Myriad Laws is composed of a peculiar metallic material, controlled by Marquis Mo Yan, capable of shifting shape at will."

"Only secret techniques that earn the approval of Marquis Mo Yan are qualified to remain on the cliff face."

"Then, depending on the grade of the assessment, different rewards are granted. It is said that the highest-tier rewards can even reach hundreds of millions of Hunyuan Units..."

Eloise's tone was filled with wonder and envy; clearly, this figure was completely beyond her imagination.

Ji Chen shook his head. "Those rumors are unreliable. Truly formidable secret techniques cannot be measured by cosmic currency; I suspect the Kingdom Lord himself would bestow precious treasures directly."

"However, the minimum standard for a self-created technique to be recognized by Marquis Mo Yan is impossibly high."

"Historically, the majority of World Lords within the Secret Realm have failed to leave their own created techniques on the Mountain of Myriad Laws."

"Not to mention those of us at the Star or Universe levels; Marquis Mo Yan does not approve of us spending our time creating combat techniques."

"Therefore, in terms of receiving rewards, the Mountain of Myriad Laws really has nothing to do with us."

"Of course, you can go to the Mountain of Myriad Laws to contemplate and study those techniques; some can even help you improve your comprehension of the laws more quickly."

"This is actually one of the great benefits of entering the Gulun Secret Realm."

"The techniques that manage to remain on the Mountain of Myriad Laws are all extraordinary; many are things even Immortal Gods would covet."

"Yet here, they can all be studied for free."

"If the quotas for entering the Gulun Secret Realm could be sold, I imagine World Lords and even Immortals from the outside would fight tooth and nail for them."

"But the Universe Kingdom has never sold a single quota for the Gulun Secret Realm."

Speaking of this, both Ji Chen and Eloise revealed expressions of pride in being disciples of the Ancient Wheel Hall.

An identity that cannot be bought with money is naturally worth being proud of.

Jiang Luo nodded, feeling the same way.

After all, even quotas for the Initial Universe are sold.

Of course, that likely stems from the Chaos City Lord's original intention of nurturing human powerhouses; after all, the Chaos City Lord certainly wouldn't care for the pittance earned from selling quotas.

But the fact that Gulun Secret Realm quotas are never traded side-handedly illustrates the sheer wealth of the Gulun Universe Kingdom and the Gulun Kingdom Lord.

Jiang Luo quite liked such a wealthy benefactor.

Just then, he suddenly received an email from Marquis Mo Yan.

Marquis Mo Yan is the administrator of this continent and the Hall Master of the Ancient Wheel Hall.

All members of the Ancient Wheel Hall, including Domain Lords and World Lords, are under the jurisdiction of Marquis Mo Yan.

Jiang Luo, looking down at the screen on his wrist, saw his expression change drastically.

"The Blood Demon 'Thanses' is dead?!"

Beside him, Ji Chen and Eloise also had their expressions shift in shock.

Clearly, this was a mass email.

The Blood Demon 'Thanses' was the strongest and most outstanding genius among the Star-level members of the Ancient Wheel Hall!

Many even rated him as being among the top-ranked Star-level geniuses across the 1008 Universe Kingdoms.

The news of such a peerless genius's death was naturally shocking.

However, once Eloise calmed down, she felt no heartache; instead, she seemed somewhat gloating, clicking her tongue.

"I heard Thanses was hired by the Obsidian Company and went to that Flint Star World."

"He ended up getting beaten up by a mysterious Universe-level powerhouse and was even forced to break through to the Universe level."

"I didn't expect him to suddenly die now?"

"He probably provoked some powerhouse. I wouldn't even be surprised if that madman provoked an Immortal God..."

Ji Chen sighed, just about to speak, when his expression suddenly changed again. He looked down at his wrist, seemingly having received a new email.

He then looked up at Jiang Luo, his expression somewhat strange. "My teacher sent me an email, telling me to warn you: beware of the Blood Demon King!"
