"Whew. This willpower-training method I created based on my own ideas still has plenty of flaws. I need to keep improving it."

Several hours later, Li Xin was drenched in sweat, and every muscle in his body trembled. Yet his eyes were brighter than ever.

His willpower really had improved. Though the improvement was slight, it was at least a promising sign. It also proved that the Hundred Refinements Spirit-Tempering Method he had devised was effective.

"The SS-Class Bloodline Evolution Agent certainly lives up to its name. My comprehension of the Law of Light has improved so much!"

Previously, trying to comprehend the Law of Light had been like sitting in the back row of a classroom with three diopters of nearsightedness and trying to read the Law of Light written on the blackboard. He could only make out its vague outline.

Even with the Eternal Divine Brain's powerful Calculation talent assisting him, whenever he tried to comprehend the Law of Light, he spent most of his effort reconstructing those indistinct principles.

Only after reconstructing them could he begin to comprehend the mysteries of the Law of Light.

Now that he had injected the SS-Class Bloodline Evolution Agent, it was as though his eyesight had been corrected to normal, allowing him to see the Law of Light on the blackboard clearly.

This would greatly increase the efficiency with which he comprehended the Law of Light.

"Star level, seventh order!"

After his bloodline changed, Li Xin felt ravenously hungry. He took out energy from the Eternal Divine Furnace and absorbed it. In just one hour, his strength rose by another order.

"Ninth-level domain!"

As he absorbed energy, he also tried to comprehend the ninth level of the Light Domain. To his surprise, after just a few hours of contemplation, a sudden flash of inspiration allowed him to grasp it!

"Bloodline is like aptitude. Something that can directly improve a person's aptitude is far too important!"

"It's just that the main ingredients used to produce the Bloodline Evolution Agent are too expensive. Otherwise, the Virtual Universe Company wouldn't have classified it as a restricted item."

Presumably, the ingredients used to make the Bloodline Evolution Agent were in limited supply, which was why its distribution was restricted.

"Hm? A call from Hong?"

Just as Li Xin was about to take advantage of his improved bloodline and talent by training in the Virtual Universe's Killing Field, he received a call request from Hong.

"Big Brother, Thunder God and I found a treasure, but there might be unknown dangers."

Once the call connected, Hong spoke solemnly.

"What treasure? Tell me everything."

Hearing this, Li Xin grew serious as well.

"Here's what happened. Thunder God and I were heading to different empires to register our identities, right?"

"Just now, when we flew past a certain place, there was originally nothing there. But then a corner of a world suddenly appeared."

"Terrifying holy light enveloped the area outside it. I sent Mechanical Puppets in earlier. Planetary Level and Universe Level Mechanical Puppets couldn't enter. Only Star Level Mechanical Puppets could get inside."

"But the Mechanical Puppets were killed soon after entering. According to the information they sent back, it's a world filled with all kinds of monsters, and only those at Star Level can enter."

"I checked, and this should be a newly emerged world. After finding it, we couldn't get inside, and we didn't dare approach it either."

Hong explained everything to Li Xin in detail.

Normally, if someone discovered an unclaimed world but lacked the ability to explore it, they could report it to the Virtual Universe Company.

The Virtual Universe Company would give the discoverer a generous reward based on the world's level and the value of what it contained.

If Hong and Thunder God reported it, the resources they received would be an astronomical fortune for them at their current stage, easily allowing them to cultivate steadily all the way to Universe Level!

Yet Hong and Thunder God had not done that. Instead, they had told Li Xin immediately, showing just how much they trusted him.

"Send me the coordinates. Also, you were right not to approach it. If someone else discovers it, they might kill you to silence you."

"Leave that place for now and get as far away as possible. I'll go see whether I can get inside and pick up something good."

Upon hearing this, Li Xin immediately set out from Qiu Long Star. He placed his many servants and the Intelligent Life into his World Ring, then boarded his Machine Race Spaceship avatar and headed there as fast as possible.

"Big Brother, be careful!"

Hong reminded him.

"Don't worry. We can stay in touch through the Virtual Universe. If I can't explore that world, I'll let you know, and you can report it to the Virtual Universe Company immediately."

Li Xin understood that Hong and Thunder God were handing him an opportunity.

Had they not trusted him, they would never have told him about such an incredible opportunity.

"Oh, right, Big Brother. The owner of the Quiet Mind Room on Black Dragon Island is a Domain Lord Level expert, and he's also an external deacon of the Virtual Universe Company. He wants to invite you to join the Virtual Universe Company."

Thunder God remembered Ming Yu's earlier invitation to Li Xin.

"We can talk about that little matter later. The most important thing right now is that unknown world you mentioned. Ideally, I'll finish exploring it before anyone else discovers it."

Li Xin knew very well how valuable an unknown world could be. At the lower end, it could be like the Thunder World in the original story. At the higher end, it could contain a Peak World Lord's entire fortune.

"Big Brother really is something. Even an invitation from the Virtual Universe Company can't faze him."

"Second Brother, you're right. Back in China, we call that holding out for the best offer."

"Are you sure that isn't raising the price on the spot?"

Hearing Li Xin's rather humblebragging remarks, Hong and Thunder God immediately started joking around.

"All right, wait for my news. If things go smoothly, I'll bring back a gift for each of you. If they don't, we'll talk about it then."

With that, Li Xin ended the call.

After boarding his Machine Race Spaceship avatar, Li Xin immediately set off at full speed.

By now, the Machine Race Spaceship's exterior had completely changed. It had taken the shape of a gigantic sword fifteen hundred meters long, with its E-grade alloy perfectly concealed.

From the outside, there was no way to tell that it was a Machine Race Spaceship. Unless someone inspected it carefully, they would at most assume it was a D-grade spaceship.

"I'm here!"

Traveling at full speed, Li Xin reached the location Thunder God and Hong had mentioned in just one day.

"The Law of Light is so concentrated inside. This world's former owner must have had an extremely profound understanding of it."

A corner of the world was already fully exposed. Even from this far away, he could clearly sense the power of the Law of Light emanating from within.

The world was still steadily extending out of the space interlayer. It likely would not be long before it emerged completely.

When that happened, the tremendous disturbance would be impossible to hide from the powerful experts nearby.
