Jiang Luo could tell that his senior brother, King Shaluo, had the sort of carefree, easygoing personality.
"If there are any secret manuals or treasures you want to buy from the treasury and you don't have enough points, just tell me. I'll buy them for you... Ah!"
King Shaluo slapped his forehead. "I forgot—you haven't joined the Giant Axe Arena yet."
Jiang Luo was speechless.
That wasn't just carefree. It was practically thoughtless.
King Shaluo chuckled. "I'll send you an account in a bit. You can use it to buy whatever secret techniques or treasures you want."
With that, he disappeared.
Marquis Mo Yan smiled. "Jiang... Junior Brother Jiang, don't take it to heart. That's just Senior Brother Shaluo's personality.
"Still, Senior Brother Shaluo has achieved a great deal in the Space-Time Law. Teacher must have called him here today especially for your sake.
"You can put your mind at ease about Blood Demon Planet. The Blood Demon King definitely won't dare touch your home planet again."
Virtual Universe, Dutuo Island.
"Master." A short, stocky Immortal God bowed respectfully before the Blood Demon King. "I've arrived in the star system where Luo Planet is located."
The Blood Demon King nodded with satisfaction.
If Jiang Luo still didn't know what was good for him three days from now, he wouldn't hesitate to destroy a life-bearing planet.
It wasn't as if he'd have to do it himself.
All it would cost him was a subordinate he had Soul Enslaved.
"My lord!"
A gold-haired Immortal God burst into the palace in a panic.
The Blood Demon King's eyes glinted with menace. "What is it?"
"My lord." The golden-haired Immortal still seemed to be in a dream, unable to believe what he was saying. "That Jiang Luo just cleared the Star Level Trial Space. He reached the fifth floor of the Sixth Trial Tower and even climbed the first layer of the Mountain of Laws!"
Thunderous lightning flashed in the Blood Demon King's eyes. "Just as I thought! He definitely got the Flint Star Sector Lord's treasure!"
The golden-haired Immortal's voice dropped. "After that, the Gulun Kingdom Lord took Jiang Luo as a registered disciple."
Silence!
The palace fell abruptly silent.
The Blood Demon King rose to his feet, staring at his subordinate in disbelief. "The Gulun Kingdom Lord took him as a disciple?"
The news that Jiang Luo had reached the fifth floor of the Sixth Trial Tower in the Star Level Trial Space quickly spread throughout the Gulun Secret Realm.
Before the disciples of the Ancient Wheel Hall and the many Immortal Gods had even finished absorbing this explosive news, word arrived that Jiang Luo had become a registered disciple of the Gulun Kingdom Lord.
This time, the news didn't stay confined to the Gulun Secret Realm. It quickly spread across the entire Gulun Universe Kingdom!
The many powers and countless experts of the Gulun Universe Kingdom learned the news in turn: their ancient and magnificent Lord had taken on yet another disciple!
Gulun Secret Realm, inside a castle.
Jiang Luo stared at the contents of the email in astonishment.
"Wow, it's a five-star account?"
He'd never imagined that the account King Shaluo had casually given him would have so much money in it!
A full 12 million Hunyuan Units.
The Gulun Kingdom Lord was rich and generous, and his disciples were all ridiculously generous too.
"Now I don't have to worry about the mid-tier auction..." Jiang Luo blinked.
Even setting everything else aside, those 12 million Hunyuan Units alone made becoming a disciple well worth it.
He'd become a tycoon overnight.
A tycoon even by Immortal standards.
Jiang Luo was thinking about which treasures and materials to buy when he suddenly paused, then broke into a smile.
He'd just accumulated enough愿力.
He had enough願力 to manifest the Soldier Secret Technique, one of the Nine Character Secrets from the Shrouding the Heavens Universe!
"Manifest the Soldier Secret Technique!"
A stone wall abruptly appeared in his mind.
Mirrors, furnaces, spears, swords, staffs, sabers, and many other weapons appeared on its surface.
They transformed one after another, each weapon seemingly containing a world of its own, profound and intricate.
As if listening to the Supreme Rule and the ultimate Dao, Jiang Luo's mind drifted, and he became immersed in it.
After a long while, he finally came back to himself.
Inside his Origin Core, a jade wall bearing the character for "soldier," written in an ancient script, floated above nine stars.
"So this is the Soldier Secret Technique!" Jiang Luo marveled.
He'd originally planned to wait until he'd accumulated enough願力 to manifest the Soldier Secret Technique before challenging the Trial Tower.
But with the Blood Demon King pressing him at every turn, he'd had no choice but to act early.
To do so, he'd revealed that he was cultivating the Flint Star Sector Lord's legacy manual, Boundless, and that he'd obtained the secret of the Flint Star World's treasure.
Fortunately, he'd managed to impress the Gulun Kingdom Lord. The outcome was even better than he'd imagined.
Jiang Luo immediately began comprehending the Soldier Secret Technique.
A little over a month later.
Jiang Luo looked at the Flint God Weapon in front of him, shaped like a crystal spear.
He had reforged the Flint God Weapon using the Soldier Secret Technique.
"Rise!"
Thin, translucent crystal blades flew out of the Flint God Weapon. Threads linked them together, and in an instant they formed a dazzling red lotus, its petals glimmering like crystal.
The Flint God Weapon's third form: the Lotus Domain.
But compared with the Lotus Domain he had barely managed to control in the Trial Space, this time, after using the Soldier Secret Technique, it felt as easy to command as his own arm!
It was as if that lotus were part of his body.
With a thought, Jiang Luo sent another thousand streams of light shooting from the Flint God Weapon.
In the blink of an eye, they formed eight more red lotuses!
All nine red lotuses floated around him, turning everything within a ten-thousand-meter radius into a domain under his absolute control!
Jiang Luo's eyes shone with excitement. "Condense!"
He wanted to see where the Soldier Secret Technique's limits lay!
Threads extended from the nine red lotuses, linking them together.
Then a dazzling red light slowly rose in the spacious cultivation chamber, illuminating everything around it.
It was a shining disc, seemingly the core of the surrounding space, bearing an immeasurable weight.
The Flint God Weapon's fourth form—the Red Star Wheel!
Only then did Jiang Luo begin to feel the strain. He could no longer command it as easily as his own arm.
Clearly, he could only manage to use it barely. In terms of actual power, it wasn't much stronger than the third form.
If he challenged the Heaven-Reaching Bridge, he'd be instantly defeated.
But he wasn't disappointed at all.
"The Soldier Secret Technique really is extraordinary..." Jiang Luo murmured.
It was practically tailor-made for wielding a Controller Divine Weapon.
It could almost force him to use a form one level higher!
In other words, with his current Law Comprehension and Mental Power Amplitude, he could normally manage only the third form, the Lotus Domain.
But once he used the Soldier Secret Technique, he could force himself up by an entire level!
He could bring the third form to perfection, using the full ninefold Lotus Domain,
and even barely manage to use the fourth form, the Red Star Wheel.
The difference between them was enormous.
If he'd been able to use the ninefold Lotus Domain in the Trial Space a little over a month ago, he definitely would have reached the Seventh Trial Tower.
In terms of combat strength, thanks to the Soldier Secret Technique, he could now rival Bolan at the Genius Battle's final stage.
He might even be stronger than Bolan.
"Now there'll be no problem with the Peak Warrior Battle in two years." Jiang Luo smiled.
Then the nine blazing fireballs inside his Origin Core began to expand rapidly.
"Rumble..."
The abundant cosmic energy outside the castle was devoured in a frenzy, even forming a funnel-shaped vortex.
He was about to break through to Universe Level.
The entry requirement for the Peak Warrior Battle was Universe Level.
