Tai Chu Zone

Sha'en, standing nearby, was also amused. "Your Highness is quite the joker."

"I'm not joking, I'm serious," Xu Qing said, pursing his lips.

Sha'en, of course, didn't believe it. Even Universe Venerable who surpasses Immortal couldn't do something like this with ten Origin Law Mark.

A short while later, Sha'en escorted Xu Qing and Luo Feng outside the Tai Chu Zone.

"Your Highness, this is the Tai Chu Zone. I cannot enter. Once you two Your Highness, you will be received by designated personnel," Sha'en bowed slightly, then turned and left.

Xu Qing and Luo Feng stepped into the Tai Chu Zone and soon arrived at the luxurious entrance.

"Your Highness Luo Feng, Your Prince Xu Qing, I have been waiting for your arrival," a beautiful woman greeted them, followed by a group of servants.

This woman was a fox-person with a fox tail and Flame Mark between her eyebrows, clearly a powerful World Lord.

"Your Highness can just call me Foss. I'm the person in charge of all sorts of trivial matters in the Tai Chu Zone," Foss said with a smile.

Xu Qing and Luo Feng nodded.

Then, led by Foss, the two arrived in the Tai Chu Zone.

Along the way, Foss briefed the two on the basic situation within the Tai Chu Zone.

There are over 1,100 official members here, and there are various facilities such as training areas, reading areas, and a restaurant.

The residential area is at the very back, consisting entirely of estates, stretching nearly a hundred kilometers in length and width.

"This is much better than the Doomsday Zone," Luo Feng thought to himself.

However, it still falls short compared to the most luxurious Primitive Zone, which are super-large estates spanning over a thousand square kilometers.

"His Highness Luo Feng Your Highness's manor is number 1136, and His Highness Prince Xu Qing's manor is number 1137," Foss said as he led the way.

They first arrived at Luo Feng's Manor No. 1136.

A group of people were already waiting at the entrance of the manor. The leader was a World Lord who had been recognized by the Origin Law, followed by ten Domain Lord and one hundred Universe Level.

They were the guards stationed at the manor, protecting Luo Feng's safety. In reality, they were also Luo Feng's guards, obeying Luo Feng every command.

Besides these guards, there were more than a hundred servants in the manor.

"This is Odorick, the leader of Prince Luo Feng Your Highness's guard," Foss introduced.

"Your Highness may simply call me Odo," Odorick said respectfully.

Luo Feng smiled slightly, "I'll be in trouble from now on, Mr. Odo."

"Me too, me too, this is my brother-in-law, we're in cahoots," Xu Qing said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng's eye twitched. Why did a perfectly normal sentence sound so distorted coming from his mouth? Why couldn't he just say "together" instead of "in a group"?

Everyone looked surprised; it was rare to see such a relationship between the two Your Highness.

"Greetings, Your Prince Xu Qing," Odorick immediately bowed, followed by his guards.

The two Your Highness have a close relationship, so it's natural that their subordinates can also get closer to each other, which isn't a bad thing.

Later, they arrived at Xu Qing's Manor No. 1137.

The guards were already waiting at the entrance, led by a female World Lord dressed in battle armor, who also had Origin Law Mark between her brows— the Origin Law of Light.

"Your Prince Xu Qing, this is Odo Lena," Foss introduced with a smile.

"Hello, Your Highness, just call me Lena," Lena bowed slightly, and the guards behind her followed suit.

"OK, no need to be so polite. This is my brother-in-law, Luo Feng. He lives next door," Xu Qing said casually.

Luo Feng took the initiative to greet her, "Hello, Ms. Lena."

"Hello, Your Highness Luo Feng," Lena bowed again, then nodded slightly to Odorick.

"Alright, Your Highness, the rest is up to Odo and Lena," Foss smiled slightly, then flew away.

Luo Feng led Odorick and the others back to his manor.

Under Lena's guidance, Xu Qing began to familiarize himself with everything about the manor.

"Your Highness, that's the training ground," Lena said, pointing to the massive, sealed building.

"That's a swimming pool..."

Under Lena's guidance, Xu Qing gradually became familiar with his manor.

Later, Xu Qing arrived at his residence, a three-story building.

On the third floor, Xu Qing asked Akaro to renovate all the rooms to her preferred style.

There are many folders on the computer screen, and it's clear there's a lot of data there.

"Elder Brother, a new email has arrived," Akaro said.

"Click to take a look," Xu Qing gestured.

Xu Qing opened the email, glanced at its contents, and was utterly astonished.

The content wasn't much, but it was amazing. First, it directly gave him 10,000 points, which could be used to purchase secret techniques from the treasure vault.

Everything in the treasure vault can be purchased with points.

Secondly, the company suggested that Xu Qing purchase a secret technique for cultivation on his way to headquarters.

Furthermore, the company emphasized that he did not need to spend time cultivating genetic Origin Energy and Spiritual Force. From the first to the ninth level, it was all about accumulating quantity. Only by breaking through major levels could there be a qualitative change, which required personal effort.

The company can enhance the bodies of every Core Member free of charge, improve their genetic Origin Energy and Spiritual Force, allowing them to advance from the first rank to the ninth rank in the shortest possible time, until they become Immortal.

Xu Qing and the others only need to work hard to comprehend the Origin Law and practice secret techniques.

"Wow, that's amazing, Elder Brother! All you need to do is work hard to comprehend the Origin Law and learn the secret techniques," Akaro was shocked by the email.

As expected of one of humanity's five giants, they are indeed incredibly wealthy and powerful.

Moreover, even if others don't know, doesn't it know that Xu Qing's greatest strength lies in his ability to comprehend the Origin Law and in combat?

Under such conditions, Xu Qing still had to take flight.

"Tsk tsk, heaven, heaven!" Xu Qing was also a little excited. All he had to do was comprehend the Origin Law and practice secret techniques. He didn't need to worry about leveling up. It was wonderful.

He's already at the Cosmic Level Third Order, having advanced two levels in two years thanks to the Nutrient Pod, which isn't very fast.

The company has a faster way to help him level up; they've already prepared the plane, so why would he need a bicycle?

Meanwhile, Luo Feng and Babata were already selecting secret techniques.

"Xu Qing is going to be ecstatic. These conditions are practically tailor-made for him. Luo Feng, you'll have to put in a thousand percent, or even ten thousand percent, of your effort," Babata said, unable to calm down.

Despite having traveled the universe with the Master of Yunmo Star for so long, the Master of Yunmo Star was just an Immortal, and a lonely one at that. He had seen the world, but he had never seen the real world.

The approach of Virtual Universe completely stunned them.

"Don't rush, Babata. Haste makes waste. Don't lose your composure," Luo Feng said calmly. He was surprised, but not enough to make him agitated.

He also understood that with such conditions, the Virtual Universe Company was the perfect breeding ground for Xu Qing, allowing him to grow wildly and unrestrainedly.

He was overjoyed, because the stronger Xu Qing became, the stronger he would become.

"Phew, you're really calm. Looks like you're deeply influenced by the Golden Horned Behemoth," Babata remarked.

"A little bit, but more importantly, it's the mindset I learned from my Elder Brother brothers and Xiao Qing. Calmness is only one aspect," Luo Feng said eloquently.

Babata paused for a moment, feeling that Luo Feng, like Xu Qing, was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

"The next three years will be perfect for Xiao Qing to help me improve my Origin Law," Luo Feng said with a faint smile.

"Well, so you already had an idea," Babata glanced at him.

Luo Feng nodded, "The cultivation of the Mosha Clan Clone also needs to begin. We can't waste it. I'll cultivate all three simultaneously. If I can make steady progress, my future achievements will only be greater."

Babata couldn't help but nod. That was indeed the case. It seemed that Luo Feng had already planned this all along.

Moreover, once Luo Feng reaches the World Lord level, he will have a fourth Clone.

In the room, Xu Qing opened the folder containing secret techniques, which were listed in a dazzling array.

"The Void Tower that Babata gave me is just a common item here," Xu Qing glanced at the Soul Secret Technique and immediately noticed this one.

This is only the lowest level among all the Soul Secret Technique.

There are thousands of Soul Secret Technique here, the lowest level being Immortal Level, quite famous in the universe, but just ordinary here.

These secret techniques range from tens or hundreds of points for the cheap ones to thousands or tens of thousands, or even millions or tens of millions, making even Immortal envious.

Then, Xu Qing activated his Combat Secret Technique, and did the same.

"Let's take a look at the Time Secret Techniques," Xu Qing wasn't very interested in Combat Secret Technique. He had his own fighting style and had also created his own secret techniques, the Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path.

As his level and realm increase, the power of the Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path will also increase, showing its potential for growth.

Therefore, Xu Qing doesn't really need to learn any new Combat Secret Technique.

He felt that what he needed most was the secret art of time, which could help him comprehend the Origin Law of Time.

With the secret method as a reference, he can comprehend the Origin Law of Time much faster.

"They're all so expensive!" Xu Qing glanced at the time-travel techniques; they were all very expensive, none of them costing less than eight thousand points.

Moreover, these cheapest time-saving techniques are incomplete; they are individual techniques broken down from a complete set.

Otherwise, even the cheapest complete time-manipulation technique would cost tens of thousands of points.

"Time Rope," Xu Qing noticed a time-related secret technique and glanced at it again.

This time-related secret technique uses the power of the Time Law to condense into ropes, binding the enemy and achieving a Time Stop effect at the point of binding.

"The Time Stop effect is only achieved where the area is bound? That's so useless! Isn't this just a way to trick people out of their points?" Xu Qing complained.

With his already mastered understanding of the Origin Law of Time, he could achieve Time Stop on a small scale; why would he need a secret technique?

He checked and it still required 8,600 points; that was outrageous.

Only someone with absolutely no understanding of the Origin Law of Time could accidentally purchase this secret technique.

"The Light of Years condenses the Time Law into a beam of light. When it strikes an enemy, it creates Time Stop effect and also extinguishes the enemy's life force. This is quite interesting," Xu Qing said, stroking his chin.

This secret technique is a bit more expensive than the Time Rope, costing 9,500 points.

Next, Xu Qing looked at some more time-related secret techniques, but they were either too expensive or too useless.

After filtering, the course "Light of Years" was ultimately the most cost-effective.

"If I buy it, 10,000 points will be gone in an instant, and I can only get the item from headquarters. Forget it, I'll just leave it for now," Xu Qing swiped away, out of sight, out of mind.

He didn't have enough points to buy even a decent time-manipulation technique.

"Let's put it aside for now. Anyway, I've already mastered the Origin Law of Time," Xu Qing said, too lazy to dwell on it. He could always go to the Initial Universe to study them later, which would definitely be more effective than the secret technique.

"I should focus my attention on the Origin Law of Space and comprehend them as soon as possible. There are still eight basic Origin Law to learn," Xu Qing had already decided on his next stage of cultivation.

At this moment, Luo Feng contacted him, "Xiao Qing, come over and give me some pointers."

"Brother-in-law, you really know how to handle things," Xu Qing rolled her eyes.

However, despite saying that, he still obediently went out and visited Luo Feng's manor.

Inside the training ground, Luo Feng chuckled, "Xiao Qing, have you used up all your points?"

"I didn't spend enough. I originally wanted to buy a better time-related secret technique to comprehend the Origin Law of Time, but unfortunately," Xu Qing shrugged.

"It's alright, you can use it to buy other things, such as weapons or treasures to aid in cultivation, it's not a bad deal," Luo Feng said.

Xu Qing thought about it and realized it made sense. "Okay, I understand."

Next, under Xu Qing's guidance, Luo Feng practiced the <Absolute Space> technique.

After giving his instructions, Xu Qing returned to his manor and went to the training ground to comprehend the Origin Law.

In the following period, Xu Qing would occasionally go to Luo Feng to guide him in cultivating <Absolute Space> and help him improve his close combat abilities, before returning to his own manor to cultivate.

He remained the same as always, not immersing himself in cultivation all day long. He would play when he wanted to play, eat and drink when he wanted to eat and drink, and cultivate when he wanted to cultivate. Everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

That day, on the grass, Xu Qing leaned back in a deck chair, lazily basking in the sun.

More than half a year has passed since Xu Qing set off for the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters. Because flying in space is too boring, Xu Qing has been spending most of his time in the Virtual Universe, which is quite unusual for him.

Not far away, Lena and her guards were already used to this scene.

Over the past six months, they have come to know Xu Qing quite well. He is easygoing, acts on a whim, and is completely unpredictable, making it impossible to figure out what he is thinking.

What they couldn't understand was that Xu Qing's daily cultivation time almost never exceeded eight hours.

Such a short period of training time can be considered rather limited.

As far as they knew, Xu Qing was among the top ten in this Genius Battle and had a very high talent. However, they saw that the other top ten, and even his brother-in-law Luo Feng, spent all their time in the training ground, making the most of their training time.

Xu Qing was different; after finishing his cultivation, he spent his time playing, eating, and sleeping.

Subjectively speaking, Lena didn't think highly of Xu Qing because he wasn't as hardworking as other geniuses. No matter how talented you are, you can't succeed without hard work.

But her intuition told her that Xu Qing was no ordinary person; he seemed shrouded in mystery.

In any case, Lena just needs to do her job well and doesn't need to worry about things that aren't her concern.
