"The Origin Laws were divided into Upper Laws and Lower Laws. Comprehending Upper Laws was far more difficult than comprehending Lower Laws. Yet the universe was vast. Even for something so heaven-defying, if one selected from countless humans, one would eventually discover a few peerless geniuses."
"Tian Shi, your talent and comprehension are indeed exceptional, but you are still far from those peerless geniuses!"
Tian Shi fell completely silent.
He had originally thought that he understood something about the universe, but now he discovered once again that he still knew far too little about it!
There were actually so many peerless geniuses who could be called heaven-defying!
Seeing his grave expression, Wang Yu smiled and softened his tone. "Tian Shi, I am not saying this to discourage you."
"I simply do not want you to become complacent over your small achievements at the Planetary-level and lose sight of the true universe!"
"The universe is incomparably vast, far beyond what you or I can imagine. Therefore, no matter how unbelievable something may be, someone can always accomplish it. And in my view..." Wang Yu looked intently at his eldest disciple.
"You are no worse than those peerless geniuses. What they can do, you can do as well!"
Hearing Wang Yu's words, Tian Shi was stunned at first, then nodded forcefully. Determination returned to his eyes. "Yes, Teacher! This disciple understands! I will not be arrogant, but neither will I belittle myself!"
"Even if those peerless geniuses are incomparably powerful, I... still want to challenge them!"
"Very good." Wang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"Since you have comprehended a domain, your cultivation at the Planetary-level has already reached its limit. There is no need to remain there any longer."
"Go break through to the Star-level. Next comes cultivation at the Star-level."
"Yes!" Tian Shi replied respectfully, then took his leave.
He had just sold Tian Shi a grand dream.
Reaching the Origin Law Threshold at the Star-level was indeed the mark of a peerless genius, but that depended on who one was talking about.
Tian Shi... was most likely that top Universe Overlord of later generations.
Crossing the Law Threshold was certainly something he could achieve.
Even crossing the Upper Law Threshold should not be a problem.
Besides, Tian Shi was not fighting alone and relying solely on his own efforts.
This kid had a teacher like this Lord. He lacked neither resources, secret techniques, nor treasures. Coupled with the system's tiny bit of insignificant assistance, everything would only go more smoothly.
In the future... perhaps he would become more than merely a top Universe Overlord!
Tian Shi had originally been a Second-Class Elite of the Ganwu Dojo. Now that he had comprehended a domain, he had fulfilled the requirements for promotion to First-Class Elite.
After giving it some thought, Wang Yu did not report it immediately. He merely asked his superiors about it first.
With his current status, he could contact even World Lord experts, as long as it was not some trivial matter that wasted their time.
Wang Yu asked whether a First-Class Elite might have a chance of being accepted as a disciple by an Immortal.
The other party was a Three-Leaf Ganwu practitioner from the White Dragon Sea dojo on Imperial Capital Star, a World Lord-level instructor.
Since Wang Yu already had a Second-Class Elite under him, asking about this matter was not abrupt. The Three-Leaf Ganwu practitioner quickly replied.
"Ordinarily, a First-Class Elite might indeed have a chance of being accepted as a disciple by an Immortal. But now, you understand, this is a special period," the Three-Leaf Ganwu practitioner answered.
"The Seventh Battlefield is being opened, and a great war is imminent. The experts are all making every effort to prepare. Most of them have no time to concern themselves with disciples. So even if the Second-Class Elite under you makes another breakthrough and is promoted to First-Class Elite..."
"Unfortunately, it will probably be difficult for any Immortal to have the leisure to accept a disciple and teach him."
"I see... I understand. Thank you for your guidance, sir," Wang Yu replied thoughtfully.
"It is only a small matter." The Three-Leaf Ganwu practitioner smiled faintly, his attitude very gentle.
Toward a Commerce Department steward of the Virtual Universe Company—one who was said to have connections with an important figure and possessed formidable contacts—even World Lord experts would be friendly.
Not to mention anything distant; perhaps during this upcoming war, he might have an opportunity to seek out Wang Yu when preparing treasures...
After exchanging a few polite words with the Three-Leaf Ganwu practitioner, Wang Yu ended the communication.
"So the experts have no time to accept disciples now... Mm, that is normal. They can barely take care of themselves, so how could they have the leisure to worry about disciples? With that time, they would be better off comprehending Laws or cultivating secret techniques." Wang Yu pondered.
"I had originally been thinking that if becoming a First-Class Elite attracted an Immortal to accept Tian Shi as a disciple, and they demanded to take him away to some holy land or secret realm for cultivation, that might have been troublesome."
"If he left my side, he would no longer enjoy the Preaching Ground's tenfold teaching effect. But if an Immortal made such a request, my current status would not qualify me to refuse."
"This is good, then. No need to think about it. They simply have no time to accept disciples. It seems I will have to continue teaching Tian Shi myself!"
"Although Tian Shi needs to comprehend the Fire Law while I comprehend the Water Law, that is not a problem. At the domain level, it will not be difficult to find someone who can teach Tian Shi."
"Even once he truly needs to comprehend the Origin Laws..."
"At worst, I will skip teaching Lower Laws and directly teach Upper Laws!"
Wang Yu smiled and looked toward the system's stat panel.
[Origin Laws: Water 6% (10 billion) Space 1% (100 trillion)]
This upgrade to his Lord level had also added the Space Origin Laws to his stat panel.
The Origin Laws were divided into Upper and Lower Laws. Water, fire, and light were all merely Lower Laws, while time and space were the two great Upper Laws. Their difficulty of comprehension vastly exceeded that of Lower Laws.
Naturally, even allocating points required far more than for Lower Laws. The gap between them was ten thousandfold!
"One hundred trillion is rather expensive, but converted, it is actually only 100 Chaos Yuan Units."
"There is no need for comprehension or tempering. All I need to do is allocate points with a thought. For only 100 Chaos Yuan Units, I can cross the Space Law Threshold. Countless experts would think that was practically free!"
"One should not complain after gaining an advantage. This price is practically the system giving me benefits."
"Although obtaining so much for now will still be rather difficult, there is no rush. As I continue developing, by the time I need to teach Tian Shi, I will certainly have made some progress in the Space Law!"
Wang Yu flew into the sky.
With a thought, he took the Lord Palace out of the system space.
Boom!
An incomparably enormous golden palace appeared out of thin air, floating in the sky!
The entire palace was a dazzling gold, incomparably magnificent and mountain-like. Countless ornate patterns covered its surface, shining with noble, boundless radiance!
It resembled a divine palace inhabited by gods!
Wang Yu looked at the enormous palace that had appeared out of nowhere and sensed it carefully.
Although this Lord Palace possessed the heaven-defying effect of subtly raising the potential of every newborn within the entire territory, its appearance was simply that of an especially enormous and luxurious palace. It emitted no unusual energy fluctuations or profound Law aura.
Although he had already known this from the system's information, he still had to personally sense it before he could rest easy.
If a heaven-defying treasure emitted some profound aura, would that not be inviting people to rob him?
The Blue Star modified by Sitting Mountain Guest merely gave the humans born there greater soul potential, yet it was regarded as equivalent to a special pinnacle domain-type supreme treasure.
But compared to his Lord Palace, it was separated by a hundred thousand light-years.
It would be utterly inappropriate even to classify the Lord Palace as a domain-type supreme treasure, because so-called supreme treasures were merely True God-level treasures!
The value of a treasure born from the system's power like this was simply impossible to estimate. If its heaven-defying nature were discovered, every strongest expert in the universe would come to rob him in an instant!
Fortunately, the system had concealed all its special qualities.
From the outside, it was merely a luxurious palace. Even civilizations in the universe possessed spacecraft capable of faster-than-light travel. The headquarters of ordinary World Lord-level major factions were directly modified planets. A giant palace that merely floated in the sky...
Was not unusual at all in the universe. If it possessed no other special qualities, experts would not even bother giving it a second glance.
At most, they would think he was flamboyant for making his palace golden and radiant enough to shine in every direction. It was far too ostentatious.
And it did not merely modify newborns. The Lord Palace was classified as a special palace treasure. Like heavy palace treasures and supreme palace treasures, it possessed formidable defense, along with flight and suppression-sealing abilities.
As for its level of power...
That was likewise determined by his Lord level. He was currently only a 1-Star Lord, so the palace's power had merely reached the Domain Lord Level.
That was to say, the Lord Palace's defense could be regarded as equivalent to an especially enormous D9-class spacecraft. Even a ninth-stage Domain Lord could not breach it at all, while ordinary World Lords would need to put in some effort.
Moreover, that was not all. Ordinary spacecraft possessed only material defense and could not defend against soul techniques. Palace-type supreme treasures, however, possessed incomparably powerful material defense while also having extremely high soul defense, only slightly weaker than their material defense.
As a palace treasure, the Lord Palace likewise possessed dual material and soul defense.
It also possessed the power of suppression and sealing, something ordinary spacecraft simply did not have. Only treasures at least at the heavy treasure level possessed such formidable power!
Of course, his Lord level was currently only 1-Star, so it was not powerful enough yet. However, as he developed and upgraded in the future, its power would gradually increase. Once it reached the levels of heavy treasures and supreme treasures, it would be extremely formidable.
Even now, the ability to defend against soul attacks was extraordinarily valuable.
At lower levels, aside from absorbing treasures such as Mu Ya Crystals to strengthen one's soul and cultivating soul-defense secret techniques, there were simply no treasures capable of defending against soul techniques.
"This palace can become a major source of confidence for this Lord to keep a low profile." Wang Yu looked at the majestic golden palace with great satisfaction.
"Since it is War God Star's Lord Palace, from now on, it shall be called..."
"War God Palace!"
