"Teacher, you're back?"

In Ling Xi's courtyard, Ling Yu stood under an ancient tree, holding a glass of red juice, her long purple hair flowing freely.

"Yes, there are some things I need to take care of, so I came back."

Lu Qingshan glanced inside the room and asked with a smile.

"Is Ling Xi still busy?"

"Yes." Ling Yu swirled the half-glass of red liquid in her hand and said, "She has been researching this fruit wine for years, and it looks like she's almost done."

"Does it have any special effects?"

Lu Qingshan asked.

"It helps nourish the soul."

Ling Yu said frankly.

Ten thousand years ago, Lu Qingshan asked Ling Xi to research and develop a fruit wine. Ling Xi carefully selected this fruit wine, partly to satisfy her teacher Lu Qingshan's appetite, and partly to help her sister.

When Ling Yu was assassinated, her soul was damaged. Although the damage wasn't severe, it still had some impact on her cultivation.

Ling Yu put down her wine cup and asked, "Should we call Ling Xi out?"

"No need," Lu Qingshan shook his head. "I won't disturb her research. I mainly need to talk to you about something."

"Me?" Ling Yu showed a hint of surprise.

"Hmm, I remember that after fusing with that Heart of Netherworld, your talent in the Space Origin Law was also outstanding. Have you made any progress over the years?"

Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.

Upon hearing his teacher's test on his cultivation, Ling Yu suppressed his smile and said, "I have been diligently cultivating over the years. Although I have spent most of my time on the Path of the Beast God, I have already comprehended 108 essential aspects of the Space Origin Law. I am not far from truly understanding the Law of Space."

Although the Space-Time Law are the ultimate path, they are too far away. Currently, Ling Yu is still following the Path of the Beast God, which is her main source of combat power.

As for the Law of Space, one only needs to gain the Origin Law Recognition of space before breaking through to Immortal. After becoming Immortal, when one's strength stagnates, there will be plenty of time to study the Space Origin Law.

This was also the path that the Chaos City Lord had arranged for her.

Having the talent for Time-Space only means there's a tiny, almost impossible chance—the hope of success is too slim. There's no need to gamble everything and abandon all your previous efforts, especially since Ling Yu herself has exceptional talent in the Path of the Beast God.

"Hmm." Lu Qingshan nodded slightly. " The Path of the Beast God is vast and boundless, even more difficult than studying simple Higher Law. It's normal that you don't have time to specifically study the Law of Space —I happen to have a treasure here that can lend you a hand. Using this treasure, you won't need to deliberately study it; your understanding of the Space Origin Law will gradually improve, and gaining the law's recognition will be very simple."

Under Ling Yu's surprised gaze, Lu Qingshan took out the Space Crystal.

" Space Crystal!"

Ling Yu exclaimed in surprise.

She had seen this before at Wu Man's wedding, but Wu Man's piece was much smaller than hers.

Such a large Space Crystal is of immeasurable value. Although she knew that her teacher had always been very generous to his disciples, Ling Yu was still shocked to see her teacher take out such a large Space Crystal.

"Teacher—gaining the Origin Law Recognition space is not difficult for your disciple—there's no need to waste such an important treasure."

"It's alright—treasures are meant to be used. What's the point of keeping them? Besides, it's not like everything is settled just because the laws acknowledge it. You'll still need to continue cultivating. With this Space Crystal, it will be much easier for you to comprehend the Space Origin Law in the future."

Lu Qingshan said slowly.

"Yes, teacher, thank you for your kindness."

Ling Yu didn't continue to refuse. He knew his teacher's personality; if he refused again, it would probably displease his teacher.

She carefully put the Space Crystal away.

The value of this Space Crystal can already be considered the third most valuable treasure he possesses.

Ling Yu possesses extremely high authority, comparable to Universe Venerable —so naturally she knows the value of this Space Crystal.

Even a small piece requires dozens of True Treasure Points.

This piece is so big, it's worth at least a thousand True Treasure Points.

"There's one more thing." After receiving the cashback message, Lu Qingshan smiled and continued, "In a few days, I will be giving a lecture in Chaos City. After the lecture, I will pass on a secret technique to you. I obtained that technique from a Venerable One from an Alien Race Universe Venerable, and its effects are excellent!"

"This disciple is very much looking forward to it."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Ling Yu's bright, clear eyes.

The teacher is the Myriad Laws Venerable.

Ordinary secret techniques are not worth paying attention to.

Even the teacher highly praises this secret method, so it must be extremely precious. Unfortunately, the teacher needs to prepare the content for the lecture in advance, so she can't ask for it right now.

After bestowing the Space Crystal upon Ling Yu, Lu Qingshan did not disturb Ling Xi, who was still engrossed in researching fruit wine.

After leaving Ling Yu, he called Yi Yun over.

He pointed out several issues he had regarding cultivating the Body of Time.

Lu Qingshan's three Clone have all reached the pinnacle of cultivating the Body of Time, and their research into this secret technique can be said to have reached its ultimate level, allowing them to guide beginners like Yi Yun with ease.

Several questions that had troubled Yi Yun for a long time were quickly clarified with Lu Qingshan's explanation.

Yi Yun also successfully cultivated the Body of Time to the Second Layer of entry, and even took a small step forward, with his Body Amplitude reaching ten times.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Immortal God, geniuses, and even rare King Rank who cultivated in Chaos City all arrived at the No. 1 Mansion early in the morning.

Today is Myriad Laws Venerable's second lecture since becoming Universe Venerable.

Last time, Lu Qingshan gave a general overview of the Space-Time Law, much like making an outline. This time, the lecture was divided into much more detailed sections, mainly focusing on the Law of Space, the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, and the content of the Universe Chaos Stele regarding the Law of Space below the Marquis Immortal God.

For the King-level Immortal God, this part of the content has already been comprehended. However, there are still quite a few King Rank who have been granted the title of King. Even for those who have been granted the title of King Rank, it is extremely difficult to obtain guidance from the Universe Venerable. They mainly focus on the Q&A session after class, hoping to obtain guidance from the Myriad Laws Venerable, just like the Myriad Time King and his group did last time.

As for the others, they all came with the intention of learning and listening to the lectures. Even Marquis Immortal God would not dare to say that they had fully mastered all the previous knowledge. Listening to the explanations of the Universe Venerable would be of great benefit to them.

The Primal Secret Region, Wuchen Continent.

Inside a vast manor.

Kelabu threw a book of secret techniques on the ground, looking annoyed.

" Xiao Wu, I'm finished, completely finished—the assessment time the teacher gave me is almost up, but I've only just passed the 16th level of the Heavenly Bridge. I'm doomed, I'll never have a chance to become the teacher's personal disciple again."

"Master, wasn't this expected? Why are you still sad?"

A girl in a gauze dress with transparent wings appeared before Kelabu and spoke words of comfort.

"But didn't you say that there's still a glimmer of hope until the very last moment?"

Kelabu's voice carried a hint of resentment.

" Xiao Wu, I regret it. If I had known that Venerable Lei Ming's assessment requirements were so difficult, I should have chosen to become Myriad Laws Venerable's personal disciple back then."

"Master, it's Xiao Wu's fault. Xiao Wu shouldn't have given advice so carelessly, influencing your judgment."

"No, no—it's not your fault. We had the same idea back then, after all, one of us is Universe Venerable and the other is King Rank expert—we just didn't expect it."

Kelabu sighed.

"Master—don't be sad, it's not the last moment yet! Myriad Laws Venerable's lecture today is being broadcast live in the Virtual Universe. Would you like to listen? Perhaps after listening to Myriad Laws Venerable's explanation, your strength will increase."

"Is it okay to audit Myriad Laws Venerable's lectures again? Last time, Myriad Laws Venerable spotted me," Kelabu asked with some concern.

"Last time when Master went to attend a lecture in the real world, Myriad Laws Venerable didn't say anything. He definitely didn't take your rejection to heart. Master, don't overthink it. This time, when we go to attend a lecture in the Virtual Universe, Myriad Laws Venerable's attention will likely be more focused on the Chaos City in the real world, so he won't pay attention to you at all."

"Alright then, go listen—first, find me the most secluded spot."

Kelabu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Master, there's no need to choose. If we go now, all the good spots will be taken; they'll all be the most secluded corners."

"Then help me pick one out first, and while you're at it, see if that animal-skin boy from last time is still here."

Kelabu remembered the last time, the boy dressed in animal skins sitting in the corner.

Even he and Xiao Wu were surprised that the other party had become Myriad Laws Venerable's disciple and succeeded.

This time, if the other party chooses a secluded corner again to sit together and exchange feelings, and if they become friends, it could bring them closer to Myriad Laws Venerable.

"Yes, Master. But there's a similar boy in the first row, would you like to stay with him?"

Xiao Wu answered quickly.

"Okay, this spot will do. Have you chosen it? I'll go in once I've chosen. I wouldn't dare linger under the watchful eye of Myriad Laws Venerable."

"I've made my choice."

Having received an affirmative answer, Kelabu connected a wisp of his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and quickly entered the lecture space.

Upon arriving here, he realized he had been worrying completely unnecessarily.

Today in the Virtual Universe, there are so many people attending the lecture, it's densely packed, a sea of people—he's sitting in a very secluded spot, completely unnoticed by others.

Kelabu turned to look at the person beside him, a small fellow dressed in animal skins, whose strength was very weak, only at the Universe Level —probably a newly recruited genius from the Virtual Universe Company.

"I am Kelabu, Primal Secret Region Member at the World Lord Level. What is your name?" Kelabu asked in a senior's tone.

Upon hearing Kelabu's introduction, the boy in animal skins standing to the side showed a hint of surprise.

This pleased Kelabu greatly.

Then I heard the other person's introduction.

"My name is Molo —a member of Universe Level Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. I have met His Highness Kelabu."

Members of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm?

Kelabu nodded, having lost interest in this guy; they were both boys in animal skins, yet the difference was too great.

Even if a member of Universe Level Heaven and Earth Secret Realm survives to the World Lord Level, it is highly likely that they will find it difficult to escape the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and may even fall into the Apocalypse Mystic Region.

However, having nothing else to do, he still asked Xiao Wu to check the other party's information.

He then showed a hint of surprise.

The Virtual Universe Company only recruited Core Member the Apocalypse Mystic Region this year. Upon becoming Core Member, they immediately traversed the Universe Level Heaven and Earth Tongtian Mountain and became members of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm?

It looks like it has a lot of potential.

Those who can conquer the Heaven and Earth Tongtian Mountain generally possess at least the strength of the Primordial Secret Realm, and might even be able to challenge the Primal Secret Region without much difficulty.

This boy in animal skins seems to be quite something too.

" Xiao Wu, do you think it would lower my looks if I wore animal skin?" Kelabu asked secretly.

"Master, the animal hide doesn't match your style."

"Then forget it."

Kelabu shook his head and looked at the platform in the center of the square, where a figure slowly emerged.

"Greetings, Myriad Laws Venerable!"

Everyone bowed in unison.
