Wuting Sector Lord, Myriad Laws River

In the dark universe.

A spacecraft was flying at extreme speed.

Inside the control room, a Universe-level powerhouse had a cold gaze: "To dare slaughter our Obsidian Company exploration team, and within our own sphere of influence at that—no matter who it is, they will pay the price!"

"The company has already issued the order: all life forms below the Apprentice level on that planet are to be purged as a warning to others."

Another Universe-level powerhouse shook his head slightly: "Don't be careless just yet. The intelligence sent back by the exploration team showed no signs of anyone above the Universe level, yet they were suddenly attacked and wiped out. That planet likely has other issues."

"Hmph! With the three of us moving out, it's just a primitive planet. What kind of surprise could there be—eh?"

The three Universe-level powerhouses simultaneously revealed expressions of shock, looking at each other: "The company suddenly terminated the mission and wants us to return immediately?"

Virtual Universe, Huanming Domain, inside a castle in Obsidian City.

"Jiang Luo..." A handsome man with deep green eyes seemed to have thunder brewing in his gaze at all times.

Below him, a Universe-level powerhouse said respectfully: "According to the intelligence just received, this Jiang Luo is the first Planet-level in 110,000 years within our Huanming Star Sector to enter the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall.

"He had just obtained his status as a member of the Hall of Myriad Laws in the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall when he incorporated an undiscovered life planet into his territory, becoming a Planet Lord.

"That planet is precisely the primitive planet where the N176 search team was wiped out.

"In accordance with company regulations, we have urgently recalled the retaliation mission against that planet.

"However, according to the AI assessment, the possibility that the planet harbors a Flint Star World spacecraft has been raised to a warning level, so it must be reported to you."

The handsome man with deep green eyes reached out and tapped the air, causing a screen to appear before him. The video playing on the screen was the record from the N176 search team on Luo Planet.

When he saw a ball of light, resembling a sun, descend with a roar and annihilate the entire exploration team, the handsome man narrowed his eyes: "Interesting..."

The subordinate couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.

The green-eyed man before him looked young, but he was actually an executive director of the Obsidian Company.

Wuting Sector Lord, Santan Ofalan.

A direct descendant of a great god from the Ofalan Family.

"An undiscovered life planet...

"A tenth-grade bloodline primitive race, with no detectable powerhouses above the Star level, yet capable of launching a bizarre attack to wipe out an elite search team...

"The previous intelligence regarding a Flint Star World spacecraft also indicated it was in that direction..."

Wuting Sector Lord nodded slightly: "It is indeed suspicious. If a Flint Star World spacecraft truly landed on that planet, even if that brat is a member of the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall, we cannot let it go easily.

"Send a Nightmare Maiden Race Universe-level warrior to infiltrate the planet and investigate. Be careful not to alert that Jiang Luo."

"Understood!"

Watching his subordinate respectfully leave the hall, Wuting Sector Lord's deep gaze seemed to have thunder rolling within it.

If the family can obtain the inheritance of the Flint Star Sector Lord, perhaps I, too, will have a chance to make one final push in the Giant Axe Universe. Immortality...

Even born into an immortal family, it was extremely difficult for him to become immortal; the hope was slim.

The inheritance hidden by the Flint Star Sector Lord within the World within a World was his final chance.

He would not easily let go of any clue related to the tokens required to enter that World within a World.

It was not just him; many powerhouses and factions throughout the entire Huanming Star Sector and even other sectors were secretly searching for and collecting the relevant tokens.

Ancient Wheel Sacred Island, in a villa beside a beautiful lake.

Jiang Luo looked at the legal proof in his hand confirming Luo Planet as his territory and clicked his tongue in admiration: "The status of an Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall member is truly useful. These procedures were processed way too fast!"

This status as a Sacred Hall member was essentially that of a comprehensive VIP client; he could enjoy certain privileges in almost every aspect and every industry.

The Gulun Universe Kingdom truly spared no effort in cultivating its geniuses.

"Do not let your guard down," the sprite-like Wu He reminded him. "The Obsidian Company will definitely suspect that you possess a token for the Flint Star World.

"Therefore, I suggest you use the 'Identity Privacy' right of a Sacred Hall member to prevent your Virtual Universe Network login account and bank accounts from being tracked, and leave Luo Planet quietly as soon as possible.

"The universe is so vast; if you hide on some uninhabited planet, the Obsidian Company won't be able to find you, no matter how capable they are."

Jiang Luo nodded, agreeing with Wu He's suggestion, and logged off immediately.

He first told the high-level officials of the Luo Planet Alliance that he was going into seclusion to cultivate, but in reality, he took his family and quietly left Luo Planet on a B-class spacecraft.

The fact that he had become the planet's strongest and wiped out the aliens who invaded Luo Planet was known to the whole world.

Thus, his parents, younger brother, and younger sister only thought he was taking them on an interstellar trip.

They were all in high spirits, looking at the beautiful starry sky through the virtual exterior view.

Jiang Luo, meanwhile, logged into the Virtual Universe Network in another cultivation room.

Inside the villa on the Sacred Island.

Jiang Luo browsed the virtual giant screen before him, which displayed information regarding the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall.

Star Sword Prison: Combat secret technique, eleven levels in total...

Nine Flame Melting Realm: Domain cultivation secret technique, consisting of nine levels...

God-Splitting Blade: Combat secret technique; when cultivated to the extreme, physical force output can reach 72 units...

"Incredible!" Jiang Luo exclaimed, "To think there are over ten thousand types of cultivation manuals available for free—no wonder everyone wants to enter the Sacred Hall."

Most of these manuals were created by World Lords, and some were even secret techniques crafted by Immortal Gods.

If placed in the outside world, not a single one would be affordable for ordinary Star-level or even Universe-level practitioners.

Yet here, they can be cultivated for free.

However, members of the Hall of Myriad Laws can select at most two.

Members of the Blood Mountain Hall can select five.

Members of the Ancient Wheel Hall have no restrictions whatsoever.

"Heh," Wu He chuckled, "The most precious aspect of joining the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall isn't these, but the ability to attend lectures by World Lords and even Immortal Gods.

"There are lectures by World Lords here almost every day, many of whom are powerhouses from the Gulun Secret Realm.

"For them, it only requires splitting a sliver of consciousness to log into the Virtual Universe.

"My master was also invited to give lectures at the Ancient Wheel Sacred Hall back in the day.

"Beyond listening to lectures from World Lords and Immortals, there is also a Myriad Laws River within the Hall of Myriad Laws, which possesses many wondrous uses—far superior to the Killing Field..."

Jiang Luo was stunned and began to examine the information regarding the Hall of Myriad Laws.

Inside the Hall of Myriad Laws flows a river, divided into nine major checkpoints, each with a guardian.

Members of the Hall of Myriad Laws can challenge these at any time; if one manages to clear all nine, they are automatically promoted to a member of the Blood Mountain Hall.

The most precious feature is the ability to design different guardians according to one's own requirements.

Whether it is a Spirit Reader, a Fighter, or an Illusionist path, one can specify it at will.

Furthermore, one can designate the guardian to be of a specific race.

For instance, one can set the guardian to be of the Desolate God Race, the Yanpoluo Race, etc., and even various non-human races can be configured.

One can even experience the opponent unleashing the innate secret techniques of their respective race.

Additionally, one can set exactly which techniques the guardian cultivates, such as configuring the guardian to practice the exact same technique as oneself.

Anyone can see just how precious this capability is.

Calling it a holy land for cultivation is no exaggeration at all.

"This is the origin of the name 'Hall of Myriad Laws'," Wu He said, "The guardians can manifest myriad laws; in a sense, the guardians of this Hall of Myriad Laws are the best teachers.

"It is said that the Gulun Kingdom Lord paid a significant price to obtain this customization permit from the Virtual Universe Company; even the Killing Field operated by the Virtual Universe Company itself lacks these functions."
