The silver-skinned old man's expression tightened, turning serious as he scrutinized Jiang Luo. "My name is Bu Li. Since you say you want to join the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall, I assume you know the requirements for Planetary Level members.
"You must either have a physical force application of 25 units.
"Or a mental power amplitude exceeding 50 times.
"Or... possess a dual or higher Domain within the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, or within the three attributes of lightning, light, and wind.
"Meet any one of these requirements, and you can become a member of the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall directly!"
The three requirements Bu Li had listed left the other geniuses in the hall secretly astounded.
Even most of them had no idea what the requirements were for Planetary Level members to join the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall.
That was because the members of the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall were almost all geniuses at Star Level or above. It had been countless years since a Planetary Level member had appeared.
A physical force application of over 10 was already impressive. 25 was simply outrageous.
Even some Universe Level fighters who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years might not be able to reach it.
Jiang Luo remembered that when Luo Feng left Chaos City to challenge the Immortal Altar, his force application had only been around 30 times.
—Of course, that was because Luo Feng was a Spiritual Force Master and had never seriously trained his physical force application.
As for mental power amplitude, reaching 40 times at Universe Level was already considered exceptional. Reaching 50 times at Planetary Level was indeed far too outrageous.
"How is that possible? This guy's mental power amplitude exceeds 50 times? Or his physical force application reaches 25 times?"
"Impossible!" A Universe Level genius shook his head. "After all these years of cultivation, my mental power amplitude is only 42 times. Mental power amplitude and force application techniques both take years of training and countless battles to hone. A Planetary Level fighter..."
Jiang Luo thought, Yeah, it's definitely impossible.
Then, with a thought, two Domains—one white and one crimson—surged out, their power stirring unease in those around him.
Ice and blazing heat interwove, and within a hundred-meter radius, crimson-and-white lotuses took shape one after another.
Bu Li shot to his feet. "A dual Domain of water and fire?"
The other geniuses in the hall also looked stunned.
Dual Domains—especially at Planetary Level—were exceedingly rare, so no one had even considered the possibility.
"Haha." Bu Li, the silver-skinned old man, laughed. "You possess a dual Domain of water and fire, so you do meet the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall's admission requirements. Come with me."
Under the many envious and jealous gazes, Jiang Luo followed Bu Li through a door and out of the hall.
"Who is that guy?"
"That kid's ridiculously lucky. He actually has a dual Domain..."
A three-eyed youth sighed. "Yeah. My father told me that a dual Domain can't be cultivated through training alone.
"When an ordinary person reaches Planetary Level, their body transforms and becomes aligned with one of the eight attributes, like the Diamond Body for the metal attribute or the Fire Refining Body for the fire attribute.
"Even if they later develop a Domain, it will generally match their body's attribute. It's very difficult to form a Domain that doesn't match it.
"Only a select few awaken a special ability—or, you could say, a special constitution—when their bodies transform upon reaching Planetary Level. They can possess two or even three attributes.
"They say that many peerless geniuses capable of comprehending multiple Origin Laws possess multiple Domains."
A Star Level genius with three pairs of wings on his back gave a soft snort. "It's just luck. Once he reaches Star Level, he'll naturally be expelled from the Sacred Hall."
The Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall had different requirements for members at each major level.
Those who failed to meet the requirements would have their membership revoked.
"Keep your voice down. He's already a lord of the hall. His status is far above ours. If he decides to make trouble for you, you might not be able to handle it."
"One day, I'll become a member of the Sacred Hall too!"
"I found out who he is. His name is Jiang Luo. Judging by where he logged into the Virtual Universe, he should be from the Kuntu Star System..."
"The Kuntu Star System? That's in the territory of the Obsidian Company, right..."
Jiang Luo stared in astonishment at the vast, immense island before him.
Bu Li had just brought him through the teleportation point behind the hall to this place.
"Hehe, this is the headquarters of the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall, also known as Sacred Island. Once you've verified your identity, you can set this place as your Virtual Universe login location."
As he led Jiang Luo through the air, Bu Li continued, "Sacred Island has three great halls: the Hall of Myriad Laws, the Blood Mountain Hall, and the Ancient Wheel Hall.
"You're now a member of the Hall of Myriad Laws.
"All members of the three halls are addressed as lords of the hall. Their status is even higher than that of a prince from an intermediate-level cosmic civilization..."
After listening to Bu Li's introduction, Jiang Luo had a much clearer understanding of the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall.
Like the geniuses in the core layers of the five major powers, members of the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall were divided into ranks.
The Hall of Myriad Laws held the lowest status, followed by the Blood Mountain Hall, while the Ancient Wheel Hall held the highest.
Take Star Level members, for example. To enter the Hall of Myriad Laws, one generally needed to have reached at least the Seventh Domain.
To enter the Blood Mountain Hall, one generally needed to be at the Ninth Domain. If they were only at the Eighth Domain, they had to be a battle genius capable of matching someone at the Ninth Domain with their Eighth Domain.
As for members of the Ancient Wheel Hall, every one of them was a peerless genius who had crossed the threshold of an Origin Law!
And those were only the requirements for Star Level members.
The requirements for Universe Level members were even more outrageous. To enter the Hall of Myriad Laws, they had to have crossed the threshold of an Origin Law, and even that was only one of the most basic requirements.
"Lord, you can choose any vacant villa around the Hall of Myriad Laws to live in."
Bu Li brought Jiang Luo near the Hall of Myriad Laws and pointed toward a seemingly endless cluster of villas.
At a glance, Jiang Luo could tell there were at least 200,000 villas.
That meant the Hall of Myriad Laws probably had close to that many members.
Of course, that was the combined number of Star Level and Universe Level members.
"However, most members of the Hall of Myriad Laws live according to their star sectors. Members from the same star sector usually live near each other."
Bu Li pointed in one direction. "The area around that lake is where the geniuses from the Huanming Star Sector live. You can go choose any vacant villa there."
Just as Jiang Luo was about to turn into a streak of light and fly over, Bu Li hurriedly called out, "Lord, there's something I need to tell you."
Bu Li's expression turned solemn. "Lord, you're not yet 50 years old, are you?"
No, I'm already over five thousand...
"There's something you must remember, Lord. The Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall has a rule that any Planetary Level member must break through to Star Level within 50 years.
"Once you reach Star Level, the Sacred Hall will assess you according to the Star Level standards.
"If you fail to meet them, you'll be expelled from the Sacred Hall."
Jiang Luo nodded solemnly. "Thank you for the reminder."
He didn't take the Star Level standards seriously at all.
In fact, even now, he could vaguely sense the fluctuations of the Origin Laws of water and fire. That was one of the incredible aspects of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map.
Even without manifesting any other divine techniques, simply cultivating the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map until he reached the fifth level would surely make his perception of the Origin Laws of water and fire even clearer.
His goal had always been to comprehend the Origin Laws, not merely to advance his Domain.
