Level 21 clearance, major general rank, the Luolunsi Secret Realm, the Nirvana Tower, the Gate of Space

As Lancelot stepped out of the Holy Sword Stairway, he was met with a barrage of ardent gazes. Some bold girls even flirted with him, trying to win the attention of this genius of the Alliance. Oh, no, strictly speaking, having reached the Legendary level, he was considered a true powerhouse even in the Crimson Alliance, having already realized his genius potential.

We walked through the enthusiastic crowd, left the secluded retreat, and returned to our lodgings.

Lancelot turned on his communicator, went to the academy's official website, and immediately retrieved his information.

Name: Lancelot Terra

Department: Innovation Department

Grade: First Grade

Permissions: Level 21

Credits: 623000

Compared to the last time I checked, the information page has changed a lot, especially the permissions and credits sections, which would definitely leave students from other colleges speechless.

This is something that cannot be achieved during one's time at school; even most of the faculty members are far inferior to Lancelot.

What does level 21 access control mean?

Equivalent to the rank of Major General in the Alliance!

What does 600,000 credit hours mean?

If converted to Ta Pound, it would be as much as six or seven hundred million; if converted to Crimson Notes, it would be an astronomical figure. In short, if resources were purchased, it would theoretically be enough to cultivate a Lower Transcendent to the Epic Tier Three, of course, this is under the condition of excluding unexpected interfering factors.

And this is just the beginning.

The truly significant rewards I received from this Holy Sword Stairway were, firstly, the free selection of an SSS-level Innovation Skill and related resources, and secondly, the Holy Sword Token.

The former goes without saying; an SSS-level Innovation Skill is basically Demigod's pass. The corresponding resources are simply priceless and unavailable. Without connections or power, you can't buy them even with money.

Even if Lancelot creates his own Innovation Skill, the reward won't be wasted. It can be exchanged for an equivalent one through the academy. In this respect, the Holy Sword is not rigid at all, not to mention Lancelot's network of connections.

As for the Holy Sword Token, it is the second most important item because it is a life-saving resource. If used well, it can even directly kill Epic enemies, greatly enhancing his safety.

"As expected, there's a reason why everyone strives to be number one. If I hadn't broken the academy record, I wouldn't have received such a large amount of resources."

After closing the information page, Lancelot leaned back lazily on the sofa, looking quite content.

Click!

The door opened, and then a pair of long, shapely legs strode in. It was Zyra. This woman was dressed in a hot, rebellious outfit, and she seemed to know her way around as if she were in her own home.

Behind her followed Mona, who wore a snow-white dress and had the air of a friendly older sister next door.

"Hey, next time you come in, could you knock first?" Lancelot said irritably.

Zyra up and sat down next to Lancelot, retorting sharply, "You're the one talking, aren't you? You knocked on my door before I even got in!"

"We're different. I'm a heartthrob, and my privacy needs to be strictly protected. What about you?" Lancelot said with a half-smile, his eyes scanning up and down, his expression seemingly mocking, yet not quite.

In short, Zyra's temper was instantly ignited, and she glared through gritted teeth, saying, "I have a lot of fans too, okay? Otherwise, how do you think Vermila came to be?"

"Alright, alright, if you say so, then so be it." Lancelot spoke in a seemingly comforting yet nonchalant tone, as if coaxing a child.

Seeing this, Zyra became even angrier. Would this bastard die if he didn't provoke her every day?

Mona, standing nearby, gently rubbed her forehead. Seeing that Zyra was about to explode, she quickly said softly, "Zyra, don't forget the task the Dean gave us."

As she spoke, Mona glanced at Lancelot without making a sound, her bright crescent-shaped eyes holding a hint of reproach, as if to say, "Stop teasing Zyra."

Lancelot readily agreed, raising an eyebrow slightly, and said no more.

Zyra glared at him, muttered something, and tossed a yellowish-brown triangular pyramidal crystal to Lancelot.

"I can't forget how the old man always made me run errands; couldn't he come himself?"

"This is..." Lancelot stretched out his hands and took the earth-yellow crystal. It wasn't cold to the touch; instead, it felt warm and smooth like jade, giving people a sense of vitality and comfort.

"The Key of Luolunsi," Zyra said casually.

Upon hearing Zyra's answer, Lancelot immediately became interested. "Why didn't you give it to me sooner? Were you afraid I'd lose it if you only gave it to me now?"

"No," Zyra shook her head, laughing strangely, "I'm afraid you'll die!"

"Um?"

Lancelot narrowed his eyes. "Would someone steal this?"

"Of course." Zyra nodded, then added, "And, the kind that uses any means necessary!"

"I understand! So, the academy determined that I'm capable of possessing this key, which is why they had you deliver it?"

"You're quick-witted; your brain isn't all mush."

"You think everyone's like you?" Lancelot glanced disdainfully at the woman beside him, then subtly switched places with Mona.

Zyra sneered, "Go ahead and sit here if you dare."

Lancelot didn't respond. Knowing Zyra as he did, if he added fuel to the fire, he'd inevitably get a beating. The current situation was just right—it would make the woman uncomfortable without her getting beaten up.

As expected, seeing Lancelot back down, Zyra was momentarily at a loss, opening her mouth but not knowing what to do.

Mona shook her head helplessly, and Mo Li's clear and ethereal voice echoed in her mind, "Tsk tsk tsk, you're stronger than them now, but you're still completely outmatched. If you get caught up in the future, won't you just become a little maid? You call yourself the King of Martial Arts, but you're just a piece of trash, a disgrace!"

Mo Li's words left Mona even more helpless. It seemed everyone in the family had a wild temper. Lancelot was quite composed when they first met, but now his personality had become much worse. As for Mo Li, she was definitely a sharp-tongued person, with a temper even more fiery than Zyra's. If she were to have her own body and get together with Zyra and Lancelot...

Even a gentle, dignified woman like Mona, with her exceptional resilience, felt a sense of unease about the scene.

"Your Excellency the Dean must have sent more than just this to me, right?" Lancelot said, shaking the earthen-yellow crystal in his hand.

Zyra blinked mischievously, "Of course I have it, but if you want to get it..."

"I'm begging you!" Lancelot pounced and hugged Zyra's slender waist from the right, even squeezing it a couple of times.

This woman has an amazing figure and loves wearing crop tops. Her waist skin is smooth and supple like jade, incredibly elastic, and feels wonderful to the touch. Although it wasn't the first time he had touched her, Lancelot still couldn't get enough of her.

Zyra froze on the spot.

She hadn't expected Lancelot to do something like this.

In a normal scenario, shouldn't one be stubborn and refuse to back down at this point?

Doesn't this scoundrel have any morals?

Where is his shamelessness?

It fell to the ground?

After a long while, Zyra finally came to her senses. Feeling the restless hands on her waist, she said in a cold voice, enunciating each word clearly, "Let go of your dog paws!"

"Alright!" Lancelot simply let go.

Taking a deep breath, Zyra suppressed her urge to beat up the scoundrel next to her, took out her communicator, and sent a file to Lancelot.

"Take a look yourself. This is all information about the Luolunsi Secret Realm. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

"Data?" Lancelot understood, picked up his communicator, pulled up the file he had just received, and began to examine it carefully.

After about ten minutes, he had a basic understanding of the Luolunsi Secret Realm.

This is a demiplane with a unique spatial structure, inaccessible by any means except through "keys" that it releases intermittently.

That is, the Key of Luolunsi.

The key is called Key of Luolunsi because the first person to reveal this secret place was Luolunsi Cladier, an outstanding explorer.

Since the discovery of the Luolunsi Secret Realm, few beings have been able to enter it, but each one has gained immensely. As long as they don't die, achieving Epic status is practically guaranteed, and quite a few have even reached the level of Demigod.

What's even more remarkable is that the mortality rate for entering the Luolunsi Secret Realm is extremely low, less than 5%.

Low mortality rate, high yield.

It's easy to see the allure of the Luolunsi Secret Realm.

For this reason, any Key of Luolunsi is of immeasurable value; after all, in a sense, it is equivalent to a stepping stone to becoming Epic powerhouse.

Furthermore, to enter the Luolunsi Secret Realm, one's life rank cannot reach the Sanctuary, and one must be Transcendent life form.

Within this range, the higher the life rank, the greater the rewards.

Therefore, those who obtain the Key of Luolunsi, unless they are out of touch with the information, will generally wait until they reach the Peak Tier Nine and can no longer advance before entering it to reap the benefits.

"Finished understanding? Any questions?" Leaning back on the sofa, Zyra crossed her legs, rhythmically swinging her little leather boots, and said casually.

Lancelot didn't care about this arrogant guy's attitude and asked, "I heard that people who enter the Luolunsi Secret Realm forget what they experienced inside? Has the Alliance figured out why?"

"No," Zyra shook her head. "Those who went in showed no signs of their souls being altered, their memories were intact, and they didn't even gain any extra items or inherited knowledge. The only thing was that they became incredibly lucky—well, not exactly lucky, but rather blessed by the world, and everything went smoothly for them."

"The world is on our side?" Lancelot's eyes widened as he frantically rummaged through the database, searching for similar cases.

Special magnetic field?

Cosmic wonders?

A prank by an advanced civilization?

Are top-tier experts searching for a successor?

A unique realm formed by the overflow of the Source of the World?

There are too many possibilities.

With too few points of reference, Lancelot ultimately failed to uncover the secrets of the Luolunsi Secret Realm.

He didn't dwell on it too much; he figured he'd deal with whatever came his way, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

After having dinner, Zyra played around until the early hours of the morning. They decided to stay overnight, though not in the same room as Lancelot, who wasn't ready for that yet.

The following morning, as the sun rose, Lancelot took a supplementary potion and began his training.

Under the morning light, their perfectly proportioned, robust bodies, radiating a strong masculine aura, stretched out or curled up, making strange movements. Faint green life patterns appeared on their bodies, and their life magnetic field resonated with the trembling breath of heaven and earth, becoming one with them.

The higher the level of the Holy Sword Gene Training Method, the better the training effect on Ability Energy.

The enhancement of Ability Energy will also lead to a rapid improvement in physical fitness.

Currently, Lancelot's main attributes—Constitution, Energy, and Spirit—have all exceeded 80 points, but there is still a significant gap between them and the Tier Nine limit of 90 points.

The difficulty of improving physical attributes increases as you progress. Although Lancelot has abundant resources and exceptional talent, allowing him to improve quickly, it's not something he can reach his limit in a short time. Everything can only be done slowly.

Of course, he's not in a hurry right now.

Once combat power reaches the Legendary, further improvement requires time measured in years, and he has considerable experience in this area.

Planet Guta!

Logo concluded his visit to the last academy, said goodbye to Kusisi Simenga, and departed in his spaceship.

They didn't encounter any assassination attempts along the way.

In this regard, we must say we have to thank our cheap teacher, Madison.

Last time, Madison ambushed several Demigod of the Dawn Empire at sea, which was undoubtedly a huge Intimidation signal. No one could guarantee what kind of tricks this alchemist had left for Logo.

To make an enemy of the renowned Cartographer Madison for such a mere nobody who hasn't even reached Legendary would be utterly foolish. Besides, the Dawn Empire is currently undergoing a major purge and is in internal turmoil, so it's impossible for them to send Demigod to assassinate him.

If it were merely Epic, the Royal Court's bodyguards could easily protect Logo, after all, he himself was no pushover.

Back to Planet Oklo.

Logo spent some time in Sunset Jungle to sort out the matters related to trade before returning to Origin Island.

Above the half-plane.

The massive alchemical tower floated silently, its surface covered with thousands of flame-like runes. Arranged and combined, they seemed to form a divine bird soaring through the Starry Sky universe. It spread its wings in the starry sky, its long, soft feathers interspersed with scorching flames capable of incinerating everything. Its curled-up body resembled a rising sun, brazenly proclaiming its existence to all directions.

Proud and free!

"What kind of bird is that?" Crassus asked, puzzled, the red light emanating from his electronic eye flickering uncertainly.

Caesar, in his human form, stroked his chin and tentatively guessed, "Looks like Phoenix."

"It's Phoenix!" Sherlock immediately objected, offering his reasons, "Phoenix's body is more bulky, and its head feathers aren't as vibrant!"

"What kind of Transcendent bird is this? I don't Inherited Memory it!" Caesar asked, puzzled.

"Its name is Fenghuang!"

Logo walked up from behind, looking up at the patterns on the alchemy tower with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Fenghuang? Never heard of it! But if the boss says it exists, then it must exist!" Caesar said Earth Dao a grin.

Crassus curled his lip, "Sycophant..."

Logo ignored his two companions and explained, "The Fenghuang doesn't actually exist; it's more of a figment of my imagination! Its abilities are somewhat similar to the Phoenix's, both capable of being reborn from fire. However, the Fenghuang's rebirth from fire has another name: Nirvana!"

"Nirvana? Is that... the name of the Alchemy Tower?" Crassus murmured to himself.

Everyone else looked at Logo as well.

Meeting their gazes, Logo nodded slightly, a rare sunshine and vigor for his age appearing on his sharply defined face. "From now on, it will be called the Nirvana Tower!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flame runes on the surface of the alchemy tower above began to writhe rapidly, forming two ancient hieroglyphs: Nirvana!

Turning his gaze away from the Nirvana Tower, Crassus asked, "Boss, what's our mission next?"

"I'm going into seclusion for a while to do research. You don't have any specific tasks; you're free to arrange yourselves. As for cultivation resources, just draw them directly from the account and notify Crassus," Logo instructed. The reason he didn't let Caesar manage the money was because that guy was too stingy. Being stingy with outsiders is fine, but Crassus is better for his own people; he's generous enough to ensure everyone has ample cultivation resources.

"Clear!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Logo rose into the air and disappeared into the passageway opened at the base of the Nirvana Tower.

Crassus gave Caesar a smug snort, his arrogance more than could be: See? The boss still dotes on me the most, doesn't he? He's given me all the financial power, you have nothing to do with it!

Seeing this, Caesar simply uttered, "Weak cat!" and walked away arrogantly, leaving Crassus standing still, his defenses instantly broken.

All I can say is that when it comes to arguing, Caesar is a pro!

Inside the Nirvana Tower.

Top floor.

Logo connected his consciousness with the main control AI of the Alchemy Tower. With a thought, the metal ground writhed as if it were alive, transforming into a shape that closely resembled a mouth.

Logo was not surprised at all by this scene.

This is an alchemical tower module he created by combining Lancelot's "Mouth of Gluttony" with knowledge of runic literature, materials science, biology, and information engineering. It is equivalent to a digestive system.

Some resources that can help improve the performance of the alchemy tower can be directly put into this giant metal maw, allowing it to decompose into relevant substances and fill the required parts. The intelligent central control system can then regulate and upgrade the tower autonomously.

This would greatly save Logo's time, allowing him to focus more on research into other, more critical matters.

Upon opening the storage equipment, corpses, some intact and some mangled, disappeared into the giant metal maw.

These corpses were very well preserved and exuded a faint aura of spatial attributes.

These are all rare spatial-type Transcendent life forms.

It's a pity that in the previous war with Leyn City, they all perished while trying to assassinate Logo, none of them survived, and even their corpses have now become food for the Nirvana Tower.

Corpses fell into the giant metal maw, and as the Rune Array inside the Nirvana Tower operated, they were quickly broken down into more easily absorbed resources. Through the massive alchemy tower system, these resources entered suitable habitats, becoming components of this vast system and supporting the smooth operation of the Nirvana Tower.

The corpses were used up quickly.

Logo then took out the various spatial resources he had collected.

Starry Sky Crystal Stone, Dimensional Fragments, and so on.

They were all mercilessly crushed by the giant metal maw, becoming nourishment for the Nirvana Tower to grow and expand.

As time went by, the Nirvana Tower, which was originally dominated by fire, gradually began to exude a rich spatial aura, and from a distance, it looked like a new Space Detection Tower.

At the same time, having exhausted all his spatial resources, Logo went outside the tower and took out a mechanical alchemy assistant in the shape of an octopus.

The Maker Type X is a large machine, a three-star level, and of Immortal quality. It was specially created by Logo with great effort and resources for the purpose of engraving runes on the surface of the Nirvana Tower.

Once inside the cockpit and the neural connection was completed, hundreds of mechanical biological arms began to move.

The tips of these arms are all triangular pyramids, with unique patterns engraved on their surfaces, making them the most suitable shape for rune carving.

Next comes the rune inscription stage, which dazzles laymen and leaves experts speechless.

Logo effortlessly sketched out complex and ever-changing spatial Logo, even using a robotic arm to simultaneously inscribe dozens or even hundreds of runes. The amount of computation involved was terrifying.

But Logo completed it without making a single mistake.

When the last spatial rune was completed by Logo using spatial energy, the entire Nirvana Tower trembled violently. Complex and profound silver-white runes appeared out of thin air, like agile tadpoles, connected head to tail, combining with each other to form a huge and complex Rune Array.

"Gate of Space!"

Logo breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze intently scrutinizing the Rune Array before him, not wanting to miss a single detail.

After a long while, a smile finally appeared on his originally serious face.

"Boss, your talent for runes is unparalleled. Only a master alchemist can confidently construct a four-star Legend quality Rune Array Gate of Space, and you are merely a high-level alchemist."

Walpole stepped out from the side, staring intently at the Rune Array that appeared on the Nirvana Tower, his face full of admiration.

Logo shook his head. "I'm still not entirely sure. There's an element of gambling involved. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you over just in case."

Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment appeared in Walpole's eyes as he looked at Logo, his meaning clear.

"Ahem..." Seemingly realizing that his words were a bit pretentious, Logo coughed and stepped into the Nirvana Tower.

In the top-level space, with a slight shift of consciousness, the temporary Elemental Pool installed on the Nirvana Tower began to draw elemental power from the vicinity and transfer the transformed Elemental Magical Energy to the corresponding systems.

Then, the newly inscribed "Gate of Space" Rune Array began to exert its power, and white light condensed, reflecting a phantom portal a hundred meters high in front of the Nirvana Tower.

When the portal became solid enough, the Nirvana Tower trembled slightly and disappeared into it.

The next moment, in a hilly area thousands of miles away, a silver-white gate suddenly appeared in the sky, and as the gate opened, the Nirvana Tower flew out from it.

"Success!"

Logo clenched his fists, visibly excited.

Although it was just a long-distance teleportation Rune Array, and the preparation time was too long to meet the requirements for instant teleportation, it was a good start.

One day, he will perfect the spatial characteristics of the Nirvana Tower to its fullest extent, and with a mere thought, he will be able to roam the starry sea!
