Teacher, What Is This?

By the time Li Hao reached Star Level, he had already gained a faint insight into a law.

While passing through a planet, he happened to encounter a King-level expert. That King-level Immortal God had never expected a modest, mid-tier Universe Country to harbor such an extraordinary talent.

The trace of law Li Hao had comprehended was not a lower law, but Space Law, one of the two higher laws.

"Only at Star Level, yet he's already gained insight into Space Law? Where did this genius come from?" The King-level Immortal was stunned. I run into a super genius just by visiting my homeworld?

Without another word, he took Li Hao as his disciple and whisked him away. Just like that, Li Hao had not only obtained the wealth and legacy of an army-lord-level Immortal.

Through a chance encounter, he had also become the disciple of a King-level Immortal God.

"Teacher, could you help me figure out what this weapon is?" Li Hao handed his King-level teacher a strangely shaped greataxe, asking him to identify the weapon he had found.

"Ha, I thought it was something serious. An axe? Let me see." The King-level Immortal took the greataxe. He had assumed it was some piece of junk, but one look gave him a shock.

"That's impossible..." His brow furrowed, and even his breathing grew rapid. He turned the weapon over and over, examining it before sending a trace of immortal divine power into it.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Li Hao looked at his teacher with innocent eyes.

His teacher was a King-level Immortal God, after all. What hadn't he seen? Li Hao had found this greataxe on a deserted planet and genuinely had no idea what kind of weapon it was.

The greataxe was indestructible and enormous, with strange secret patterns covering its surface. He had studied it for ages without learning anything, and he could find no information about it in the Virtual Universe either.

Yet a casual swing revealed that it was incredibly sharp.

He could only ask his teacher to identify it. If it wasn't worth much, he would hand it over to the bank to sell. After all, Li Hao used a Warhammer and had no use for this greataxe.

"What's wrong?" The King-level expert's gaze sharpened as he stared at Li Hao. "Tell me, where did you get this weapon?"

"Uh... I picked it up on a wilderness planet. Is there a problem, Teacher?" Li Hao replied.

"Comparing yourself to others really does drive you mad. You actually picked up a Heavy Treasure!" The King-level Immortal nearly wanted to blast Li Hao to death with a breath. Since when had Heavy Treasures become so cheap that a little Star Level fellow could find one lying around on a wilderness planet?

Heavy Treasures were incomparably precious even to King-level Immortals. Only a tiny minority of King-level experts possessed one. Even some Universe Venerables regarded Heavy Treasures as valuable treasures.

"A Heavy Treasure? What's that?" Li Hao blinked, clearly failing to understand. Is my King-level teacher a fake? I just asked him to look at a weapon I found, and he's acting like this. He isn't trying to take advantage of me, is he?

"What is a Heavy Treasure?" The King-level expert before him couldn't help rolling his eyes. "Even someone as powerful as your teacher couldn't afford one if I sold everything I owned. Even ten of me couldn't afford one!"

"Only a tiny minority of King-level Immortal Gods possess Heavy Treasures. Even Universe Venerables regard them as valuable treasures. Do you understand what a Heavy Treasure is now?"

Li Hao still had his doubts. What kind of nonsense is this? Could I really pick up a weapon that even Universe Venerables would treasure?

Still, he sounds like he means it. Could it actually be true?

"Keeping this weapon will get you killed. Even I wouldn't dare take it out and use it. We should let my teacher handle it..." After explaining for quite some time, Li Hao's teacher finally got the situation across to him.

Li Hao didn't particularly mind. Why keep a treasure he couldn't use? He would let his teacher handle it.

His teacher had originally been a High King. After entrusting the Heavy Treasure to his Venerable teacher to handle and splitting the proceeds equally with Li Hao, he immediately bought treasures for his cultivation.

Then luck favored him again. He made a breakthrough in his comprehension of laws, and his divine power grew more condensed, reaching 100,000x world lord power and bringing him to Peak King.

Although these records were not public, Yang Hao was the Qian Wu Country Lord. With his Universe Overlord access privileges and a personal investigation, he obtained all this information.

"What kind of lucky charm is he? He picked up a Heavy Treasure at Star Level, then helped his teacher make a huge leap in strength after hundreds of millions of years without any improvement." Yang Hao was dumbfounded.

There was no need to mention his other encounters, large and small. After reaching Universe Level, he entered the Strongest Battle held by the Virtual Universe Company.

He fought his way through round after round, growing fiercer with every battle. His comprehension of Space Law startled even a group of old veterans. In addition, his understanding of the lower Law of Fire was extremely profound.

When he took first place in the overall rankings across all Universe Countries, some experts in the Human Race even called him a genius seen only once in ten million eras.

Yang Hao could hardly fail to notice a super genius ranked first in the entire race.

"Li Hao just finished the Strongest Battle. He'll soon enter Chaos City for thirty years of secluded cultivation.

"Very well. I'll take him as a Nominal Disciple first." Yang Hao acted decisively. If he delayed any longer, someone else would snatch him up!

"The original story said this guy was lucky and had a smooth cultivation journey, but I never expected it to be this smooth!" Comparing yourself to others really could drive you mad. Yang Hao hurried into action.

If a super genius seen only once in ten million eras performed well enough afterward, even a Universe Master might step forward to take him as a disciple.

Those closest get the first opportunity. A genius from my Qian Wu Universe Country becoming the Qian Wu Country Lord's disciple-there's nothing wrong with that.

"Huh? The Qian Wu Country Lord wants to see me?" Li Hao received an email aboard the spaceship taking him to Chaos City.

"He calls himself the Qian Wu Country Lord. Other than that great being, no one else should dare use that title, right?" Li Hao opened the email and smiled.

"The Qian Wu Country Lord wants to take me as a Nominal Disciple!" He forwarded the email to his teacher.

The King-level Immortal did not look particularly surprised after reading it. His disciple's talent was extraordinary, so it was perfectly normal for a Universe Country Lord to take him as a disciple.

However, the Qian Wu Country Lord was stronger than most Country Lords, having reached the Universe Overlord level.

Someone at that level was certainly qualified to take Li Hao as a disciple. If an ordinary Venerable tried, Li Hao wouldn't even give him the time of day.

"It's an honor for a great being like the Qian Wu Country Lord to take you as a Nominal Disciple. Complete the challenge he set and become his Personal Disciple as soon as possible!" Li Hao's King-level teacher said.

"Teacher, what is the Tongtian Bridge?" Li Hao looked at the challenge in the email for becoming a formal disciple: during his thirty years of cultivation in Chaos City, he had to clear at least the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge.

"You'll understand everything about the Tongtian Bridge once you reach Chaos City. I might not be able to explain it clearly now," Li Hao's teacher said. "Back when I spent thirty years in Chaos City, I only cleared the fifth level. I was still a little short of clearing the sixth."

"For you, clearing the seventh level in thirty years should normally be no problem. If he had set the goal at the eighth level, it would be extremely difficult."

"Some experts have called you a genius seen only once in ten million eras. In my judgment, you fall a little short of that, but calling you a genius seen once in four or five million eras is perfectly reasonable. The Qian Wu Country Lord hasn't set an overly difficult goal for you. Work hard and avoid taking the wrong path, and you should be fine."

Yang Hao had not made the goal too difficult. After all, progress on the Tongtian Bridge also depended on which Chaos Stele Li Hao chose.

If he selected a Chaos Stele combining Space Law and the Law of Fire, which suited him extremely well, his progress would naturally be smoother.

If his ambitions were too great and he chose a Chaos Stele combining the two higher laws of time and space, he would be taking the wrong path.

"The seventh level isn't too difficult for Li Hao. He just needs to proceed one step at a time and cultivate normally." Yang Hao considered the goal he had set. It was reasonable enough.

Taking him as a Nominal Disciple also came with benefits. Yang Hao had created a set of secret techniques tailored to him, which would assist his comprehension of laws and allow him to progress a little faster while studying them in Chaos City.
