In the Virtual Universe, on a floating island above the Gulun Continent.
At the peak of a picturesque mountain on the edge of the island, a young man drinking with Marquis Mo Yan suddenly furrowed his brows.
"What is it?" Marquis Mo Yan raised an eyebrow. "Trouble in the Xiaohuang Secret Realm again?"
Marquis Huanming replied indifferently, "Nothing in the secret realm. The Huanming Guard reported that an immortal god from Blood Demon Planet has appeared in my territory."
"Blood Demon Planet?"
Marquis Mo Yan was startled, seemingly realizing something. "He isn't still chasing the whereabouts of that Sector Lord treasure you mentioned, is he?"
Marquis Huanming's gaze turned cold. "It appears so. That immortal god appeared in the star system where Jiang Luo's home planet is located, and he did so quite deliberately."
Marquis Mo Yan looked surprised. "That is truly strange. That Flint Star Sector Lord must have obtained some fortuitous encounter to rise so suddenly."
"But what could possibly be in that treasure worth the Blood Demon King paying such a high price?"
"Isn't he afraid you'll actually report him to the Kingdom Lord?"
Although the Blood Demon King was powerful and held a special status, his junior brother, Marquis Huanming, was not someone to be trifled with.
Like him, he was not only a personal disciple of the Gulun Kingdom Lord but also the descendant the Kingdom Lord favored most.
Marquis Huanming's expression darkened. "The Blood Demon King has violated the regulations of the universe kingdom, but he hasn't actually done anything yet."
"Given his contributions to the Hong Alliance, Teacher cannot punish him arbitrarily."
"Even if I report this to Teacher now, at most he would only be reprimanded, and his immortal god subordinate would be thrown into the First Star Domain Prison for a few days."
Marquis Mo Yan frowned. "The Blood Demon King is erratic by nature. If even you cannot suppress him, then I am at a loss."
"I had originally intended to recommend Jiang Luo to Senior Brother Shaluo if he showed promise."
"However, Senior Brother Shaluo has extremely high standards for accepting disciples. Even for a star-level named disciple, one must at least have some insight into the Laws of Space or the Laws of Time."
"Although I gave him the Nine Heavens Atlas, I have no idea when he might achieve any enlightenment—"
As he spoke, Marquis Mo Yan's expression shifted, and a smile appeared. "The kid Jiang Luo is about to enter the Trial Tower. I wonder how much he has improved over these years."
With a wave of his hand, a giant screen appeared in the void, displaying the scene of Jiang Luo entering the fourth Trial Tower.
Ever since Jiang Luo became the first star-level disciple of the Ancient Wheel Hall to reach the summit of the Mountain of Power in over five million years, nine years ago.
His potential was immediately upgraded from third-tier to special-tier, a level that would even draw a sliver of attention from the Kingdom Lord.
As the Hall Master of the Ancient Wheel Hall, Marquis Mo Yan naturally kept a close watch on Jiang Luo's progress.
Otherwise, if the Kingdom Lord were to inquire one day, mere ranking data would not be enough to reflect a peerless genius's path of laws or their specific cultivation progress.
"Hmm?" Marquis Mo Yan's smile faded, and he frowned slightly.
On the screen, Jiang Luo was no longer carrying the sword-shaped force weapon as he used to, but instead had a long, translucent, pale-red gemstone spear strapped to his back!
The Flint God Weapon!
He had explicitly told Jiang Luo to focus on the path of a martial artist; why would he insist on cultivating a controller's god weapon?
If so, what was the point of achieving perfect force output?
Marquis Huanming, however, became thoughtful, and a look of keen interest appeared on his face:
That Flint Star Sector Lord was famous precisely for the Flint God Weapon!
Jiang Luo had cleared the final floor of the third Trial Tower during his last attempt.
Therefore, he could enter the fourth Trial Tower directly this time.
With a thought, he pulled up the virtual screen.
His current Trial Tower points ranked 131st out of 614 star-level disciples, a drop of 5 places from before.
Over these years, some star-level disciples had died adventuring in secret realms, while new star-level geniuses had joined the Ancient Wheel Hall, hence the shift in rankings.
However, this ranking no longer held any meaning for him.
Jiang Luo waved his hand, dismissing the screen.
Watching the ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoths charging toward him with thundering hooves, he triggered his spiritual consciousness.
In an instant, dozens of red rays erupted from behind him, forming nine milky-white crystal blades.
The surfaces of the crystal blades were coated in a layer of swirling red light, which then burst into flames, shooting out like nine red dragons released from a bowstring.
The red dragons swayed with long tail flames, roaring as they charged into the Blood-Haired Mammoths.
The immense power generated during their flight plowed deep furrows directly into the ground!
The essence of the first form of the Flint God Weapon, the 'Bright Blade', was its unyielding, ferocious, and peerless strength!
The Blood-Haired Mammoths on the first floor of the fourth Trial Tower shattered upon contact.
The nine red dragons wove back and forth, slaughtering the entire herd of Blood-Haired Mammoths in an instant!
Jiang Luo stepped onto one of the fire dragons formed by the 'Bright Blade' and flew easily into the second floor.
When it came to killing efficiency, the first form of the 'Bright Blade' was even stronger than the second form, the 'Origin-Breaking Blade'!
"Nine Bright Blades?!"
Marquis Mo Yan's slightly furrowed brows suddenly froze, his eyes widening: "Nine of them?"
Even Marquis Huanming, who had greater confidence in Jiang Luo, had never expected to witness such a scene.
He was not surprised that Jiang Luo could wield the Flint God Weapon.
As long as one crossed the threshold of the Origin Law of Fire, possessed a sufficiently strong will and consciousness, and had a high enough mental power amplitude, it could be achieved with enough nurturing and practice.
Jiang Luo already possessed dual domains of water and fire; having grasped the Law of Water previously, it was not strange that he had comprehended a trace of the Law of Fire over these years.
This was also the reason why Marquis Mo Yan favored Jiang Luo, believing him more likely than other Star-level geniuses to touch upon the Law of Space.
But nine Bright Blades and a single Bright Blade were concepts entirely worlds apart!
It meant that Jiang Luo's comprehension of the Origin Law of Fire had already surpassed the so-called "threshold"!
In terms of law comprehension, he had already outpaced the vast majority of contemporary Star-level geniuses in the Ancient Wheel Hall.
"His mental power amplitude is strong enough! A 100-fold mental power amplitude is even higher than that of Universe-level geniuses; in fact, even if his law comprehension were slightly lacking, he could still forcibly unleash the Nine Bright Blades."
After regaining his composure, Marquis Mo Yan found a reason for Jiang Luo's unexpected performance.
"However..."
Marquis Mo Yan still seemed to harbor resentment over Jiang Luo ignoring his teachings: "Hmph, this brat has now crossed the threshold in both water and fire laws.
"If he had listened to me and continued down the path of a warrior, finding a combat secret technique that combines both water and fire, with his perfect force-exertion realm, the strength he could unleash would definitely be stronger than the Flint God Weapon!
"As it stands, the first six levels of the fourth and fifth Trial Towers might not stump him.
"But he will likely fail at the seventh level of the fifth Trial Tower. His ranking might not surpass Gailuo, and he is still quite a distance away from that Thanses who has already fallen... Heh..."
As he spoke, Marquis Mo Yan could not help but chuckle.
Even if he could not surpass Gailuo, he would still be the second-ranked among the more than six hundred Star-level geniuses in the Ancient Wheel Hall!
Even across the entire 1008 Universe Kingdoms, he would likely rank within the top twenty.
This speed of progress was truly astonishing, even for a "special-grade potential genius."
Thinking of this, Marquis Mo Yan's eyes brightened: "With this performance from Jiang Luo, he might actually be able to move Senior Brother Shaluo.
"If he could be accepted as a disciple under Senior Brother Shaluo, the Blood Demon King would likely not dare to be too presumptuous!"
Although the Blood Demon King held a special status in the Gulun Universe Kingdom, it was primarily because he had once made massive contributions to the Hong Alliance, which granted him such privileges.
Excluding the Kingdom Lord, there were certainly Immortals in the Gulun Universe Kingdom stronger than the Blood Demon King.
King Shaluo was one of them!
Marquis Huanming's gaze remained fixed on the screen, and only then did a hint of a smile appear: "Senior Brother, you are wrong!
"His control over the Bright Blades has already reached a perfect level!
"It is absolutely not a case of insufficient law comprehension being forcibly compensated for by a powerful mental power amplitude!"
"A perfect level?"
Marquis Mo Yan was startled. He looked back at the screen, his expression gradually turning solemn.
