Undying: Notify "Grandmaster Ganwu," I've Struck Gold!

Chen Yi was in his palace.

He was already preparing the next round of treasures to feed them.

Increasing their Law cultivation speed had to be the top priority. Among the Star Level members of the Ganwu Secret Realm, both he and Luo Feng were currently at the bottom of the pack.

In the original story,

During the genius battle, there had been hundreds of trainees in the Ganwu Universe Country who had crossed the threshold of a Law, and quite a few of them had come from the Ganwu Secret Realm.

Right now, the Ganwu Secret Realm had more Star Level geniuses than usual.

Many geniuses had deliberately remained at Star Level to take part in the genius battle... those who had stayed there for over a thousand years were everywhere.

So,

In the original story, Luo Feng had been able to fight his way to the top ranks of the universe genius battle with only twenty or thirty years of cultivation.

The Golden Horned Beast's talent for the Law of Metal and the Demon Killer Clan's talent for the Law of Space had played a considerable part, but his own comprehension and diligence were not to be underestimated either.

As long as we cross the threshold of a Law in a short time,

We'll probably be able to attract the Ganwu Country Lord's attention, right?

After all... Luo Feng and I have cultivated for less than twenty years. If we cross the threshold of a Law soon,

There are still nearly eight years before the genius battle begins...

And even longer until it ends. The Ganwu Country Lord will be able to see that, given a few more years, our strength will continue to grow. Then it would be perfectly normal for us to place in the genius battle. So... the Ganwu Country Lord should take us seriously too, right?

Cloud Raising Mirror.

Start designing an item!

A treasure that aids in comprehending Laws and helps us cross the threshold of a Law. Its effect should be as strong as possible. It can have willpower requirements, and it should be suited to Luo Feng, Hong, and me. Forget it, leave Hong out for now. Once the two of us get resources, we can just share some with him...

Chen Yi began submitting instructions to the Cloud Raising Mirror, one after another.

He thought the important thing now was how to increase his and Luo Feng's cultivation speed. Hong didn't have a Law affinity like the Golden Horned Beast's, so he couldn't keep up with their progress in the short term.

It would be too difficult for Hong to fight his way to the top ranks of the genius battle in just twenty or thirty years, as Luo Feng had in the original story.

So he changed the requirement from helping them cross the threshold of a Law

to helping them cross:

"The threshold of the Law of Metal."

That way, the effect could be better for the same price.

[Feeding item: "Stop the Spear Killing Formation Diagram"!]

[Description: The item is a formation diagram with two formation points, "stop" and "kill," representing the use of the Law of Metal for defense and for attacking and killing, respectively.]

[Up to two warriors can occupy the two formation points. It internalizes a battlefield where they fight in the world of the formation diagram. During the process, they can share insights and inspiration from each other's comprehension of the Law of Metal and draw on each other's Law Comprehension in battle, allowing them to study the Mysteries of Laws the other has already mastered and speed up both parties' comprehension of the Law of Metal.]

[Note: This item works best when used by two people together. The higher their comprehension, the better the effect...]

[Price: 305,000 points.]

This is the one.

For improving Luo Feng and me as a whole, this treasure has the best effect. It also lets us borrow each other's comprehension of the Law of Metal to study it. We can keep using it all the way until we fully comprehend the Law of Metal.

But it's expensive too...

Right now, my ordinary points and Universal Points only add up to 310,000. To get more points next time, I'll have to complete a four-star objective or wait for Luo Feng's next annual mission.

Chen Yi thought of how much importance the Ganwu Country Lord placed on this genius battle.

Although the point cost was high this time, and this was the only feeding he could make with points in the near future, he felt the gains would definitely be worth it.

If they gained the Ganwu Country Lord's attention,

Then even more points would never have as great an impact as the Ganwu Country Lord himself!

So,

Using his "Senior Yun" persona, Chen Yi sent a message in the communications channel: "Chen Yi, Luo Feng, this is my new reward for you."

"Cultivate diligently."

"The lord of your Universe Country places great importance on the genius battle."

"And I'm looking forward to seeing you achieve good rankings in the genius battle too. After helping you so much, I should see some results, at least. Don't let my efforts to nurture you go to waste."

A formation diagram

landed on Luo Feng's side.

Its method of use and effects were also sent to the communications channel at the same time.

Luo Feng began studying it, while Babata saw that the mysterious Lord Yun had given them another treasure, and one that looked extremely precious at that.

At this point, Babata also had thoughts of relying on Senior Yun to lead Meteorite Ink Star back to its former glory. He had already shed his haughty attitude and immediately declared:

"Lord Yun, rest assured. I'll take good care of Chen Yi and Luo Feng's cultivation!"

What followed were peaceful days of cultivation.

Time passed until March 2059.

Only ten months had gone by. In the Ganwu Secret Realm, the "genius rating assessment," where members could display their talent and earn Ganwu Points, was held only once every three years at Star Level.

To the vast universe, a few months amounted to nothing.

And so,

Luo Feng and Chen Yi were still the most ordinary members of the Ganwu Secret Realm, and neither had many Ganwu Points.

Ten months

was even more fleeting for an Undying with a long lifespan, passing in the snap of a finger.

In a massive palace in the core region of the Ganwu Secret Realm,

Tong Man suddenly thought of the two geniuses he had recruited: Chen Yi and Luo Feng.

It was also because his junior Tong Sheng had told him a few days ago that the two youngsters had been progressing rather quickly. Their domains seemed to have advanced by at least one level since they joined the Ganwu Secret Realm.

There was even a slight chance they had advanced two levels!

That surprised Tong Man somewhat.

Before entering the Ganwu Secret Realm, Chen Yi had a Fourfold Domain and Luo Feng a Triple Domain. If they had advanced two levels, wouldn't that mean one was already at the sixth level and the other at the fifth?

By now, the two of them had only just reached twenty years of cultivation...

If that were true, it would be simply incredible.

He, Tong Man, would have struck gold!

Maybe I'm overthinking it. Tong Sheng said there was "a slight chance" those two youngsters had advanced two levels.

Tong Man felt he had gone mad from wanting geniuses so badly, and shook his head.

"Teacher Tong Man."

Chen Yi and Luo Feng entered Tong Man's palace and respectfully greeted the Undying.

Members of the Ganwu Secret Realm addressed all Undying who gave public lectures as teachers, though calling them that did not mean they had truly taken them as masters.

Tong Man nodded.

Then he got straight to the point:

"I heard Tong Sheng say you two have made good progress. What level have your domains reached now?"

Chen Yi paused. He had originally planned to seek out an opportunity to demonstrate his progress after crossing the threshold of the Law of Metal.

After ten long months of arduous cultivation,

he was now just one step away from crossing the threshold of the Law of Metal.

It would only take a few more days.

Luo Feng was a little behind him because he didn't have twice the comprehension. However, within the Stop the Spear Killing Formation Diagram, they could share their comprehension of the Law of Metal, so Luo Feng could draw on and study the parts Chen Yi had already understood.

Because Chen Yi was progressing relatively quickly, Luo Feng's progress had been carried along with his.

In another month or two, Luo Feng should also cross the threshold of the Law of Metal.

As for their domains,

Chen Yi was now at the Sixth-Level Domain and had broken through more than two months ago. With the help of the Star Torch Body-Burning Record, he could even reach the Seventh-Level Domain.

Since entering the Ganwu Secret Realm, he had actually advanced a total of three levels!

The difficulty of advancing in a domain also multiplied with each level.

They had only managed it because the Stop the Spear Killing Formation Diagram had given them greater comprehension of the Law of Metal. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have progressed so quickly...

The Golden Horned Beast's talent for Laws, a series of resources.

Neither of them had ever slowed down in their cultivation.

With the Cloud Raising Mirror... other geniuses really couldn't compare to the two of them in cultivation resources and aptitude.

Now that Teacher Tong Man had asked, Chen Yi had no need to conceal his progress, so he said frankly, "Teacher, my Metal Domain is at the seventh level now."

"Mine is at the sixth level. I just broke through a few days ago," Luo Feng said as well.

Seventh level? Sixth level?

"???" Tong Man was stunned. This was an even greater difference than the two-level improvement Tong Sheng had suggested was possible!

He hurriedly said, "Show me, both of you."

Chen Yi and Luo Feng immediately demonstrated.

The domain unleashed with the Star Torch Body-Burning Record was a normal domain; only the principle behind it was different. With the truth before his eyes, Tong Man had no choice but to believe it.

It seemed he had...

really struck gold!

"No... I have to contact Grandmaster!" Tong Man immediately sent an email to his grandmaster, the Ganwu Country Lord.
