A Flicker in the Lord of Darkness's Eyes

"My disciple, you're right. With your strength, you really don't need to stay at the Universe Level anymore. There's nothing worth doing with the Highest Points Mission at the Domain Lord Level anyway; those points aren't even a fraction of what you earned from conquering the Primal Heavenly Mountain."

"Besides, if you don't have enough points to spend later, don't you still have your master? I have plenty of points here!"

The Ganwu Country Lord spoke with great pride, saying that he had never lacked points to spend, no matter how poor he was, before changing the subject.

"Disciple, Glory King's strength is still a bit weak. Let me go myself."

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for the teacher? Senior Glory King's trip is already enough?"

"There's no such thing as trouble. If you don't trouble your teacher, the teacher will be angry. My disciple, get ready, I'll be there in a bit."

The Ganwu Country Lord laughed heartily.

"The Ganwu Secret Region, it's been so long since I've been back!"

A few breaths later, Li Jing had returned from the Primal Secret Region to the Ganwu Secret Region of the Ganwu Universe Country.

Looking at the mysterious continent with a diameter of nearly one light-year in the distance, Li Jing felt a sense of familiarity and couldn't help but sigh.

Although he didn't stay long in the Ganwu Secret Region, he underwent a transformation there.

It was also here that he recognized his teacher Ganwu Country Lord.

For him, the palace atop Ganwu Sacred Mountain felt more like home than the villa in the Earth Mingyue Residential Area.

For him, the villa in Mingyue Residential Area was merely a temporary rest stop after hunting monsters in the Wilderness Zone.

All told, the actual time spent living there was no more than a week.

I've actually lived in the Ganwu Secret Region for over 10 years!

Hearing Li Jing's emotion, the leader of the Ganwu Kingdom smiled. For a cosmic lord like him who was born at the beginning of the rise of the human race, time is almost the most worthless thing.

Previously, a single seclusion could take thousands of epochs.

However, even if Li Jing considers those 30 years in Chaos City as equivalent to 100 years in the Primal Universe, he would only be less than 150 years old.

With a lifespan of a million years at the Domain Lord Level, he's a truly tiny little guy.

Having been away from the Ganwu Secret Region for years, I do indeed have similar feelings.

"Disciple, get ready, we're about to Teleportation there."

As the Ganwu Country Lord spoke, he grabbed Li Jing's shoulder, and the two of them vanished into thin air, only to reappear.

At that time, they were already at the entrance of Li Jing's palace located on the summit of Ganwu Sacred Mountain.

"Disciple, I'll head back now. You can come to my palace anytime if you need anything."

After uttering those words, the Ganwu Country Lord left immediately.

Li Jing will undoubtedly meet many friends on his return to the Ganwu Secret Region.

As an elder and the master of the Ganwu Secret Region, if he were to remain by Li Jing's side, it would surely make Li Jing's friends feel uneasy, which would be counterproductive.

Let's leave that space to Li Jing himself!

He should go back and study the Lord of Darkness's "Eternal Night Soul Codex" properly now.

Okay, I'll order one in the Virtual Universe when I get back.

With his Universe Overlord- level consciousness and will, how could he not learn the "Eternal Night Soul Codex"?

After he had thoroughly studied the first few levels, he began to teach Li Jing step by step.

We should try to get him to meet the Lord of Darkness's demanding requirements as soon as possible, so that his talent in the Soul Path won't be wasted!

After his teacher disappeared from sight, Li Jing turned and walked towards his palace.

"This is His Highness Li Jing's palace. Li Jing Highness is currently not here and visitors are not permitted. If you need anything, please contact His Highness Li Jing through his Virtual Universe ID."

"Oh, Your Highness Li Jing, it's you! You're back!"

The guards at the palace gate saw someone approaching and instinctively stopped them as if it were a routine matter.

When they finally saw the figure's face clearly, their excitement was almost indescribable.

Back when Li Jing was just Four-Leaf Student Ganwu Secret Region, he was already one of the service team members of Li Jing Manor.

Later, Li Jing was accepted as a personal disciple by the Ganwu Country Lord, and his status rose accordingly. He then moved his residence to the palace located on the top of Ganwu Sacred Mountain.

They also brought their service team along.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

Even though they were just servants doing odd jobs in the palace, they still received the courtesy of the vast majority of people in the Ganwu Secret Region.

Even those World Lord Level masters in the secret realm, who were recognized by the Origin Law, had to treat them with some respect.

Besides appearances, the substance has also undergone a qualitative change compared to before.

The cultivation resources, benefits, and treatment they receive are in no way inferior to those of geniuses who receive intensive training from the Ganwu Secret Region.

Even someone with mediocre Pingping at the Universe Level like him, under such powerful resources, managed to elevate his strength by several ranks.

Everyone, including him, knew who was responsible for all of this.

Li Jing's face was naturally very familiar to him.

Even though Li Jing has been gone for over 100 years.

The moment the guard saw the newcomer's face clearly, he recognized Li Jing and immediately bowed respectfully, his face filled with excitement.

"Yes, I'm back!"

Li Jing nodded to the guards and then entered the palace with practiced ease.

He lived there for nearly 10 years, even though he spent most of his time in seclusion drawing cards and cultivating.

Yet he remained intimately familiar with every blade of grass, every tree, every brick and tile in the palace.

"Your Highness Li Jing, welcome back!"

Not long after Li Jing Jingcai entered, Alice, the housekeeper, having learned the news, assembled a large service team of nearly a thousand people to greet him.

Received from Li Jing.

Almost everyone, including her, looked at Li Jing with excited and admiring eyes.

"Alright, Alice, that's enough. Everyone, go about your business as usual!"

Li Jing waved casually.

"Yes, Your Highness! After you left, every facility in the palace was maintained regularly according to the original rules, and Your Highness can use it at any time!" Alice said gently.

"Hmm! Not bad!" Li Jing nodded.

Meanwhile, the Ganwu Country Lord, whose consciousness had logged into the Virtual Universe, appeared on Thunder Island in his palace located halfway up the mountain.

He then opened the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company and, without batting an eye, used his points to buy the Lord of Darkness's signature technique, "Eternal Night Soul Codex".

Leaving only a sliver of consciousness within his physical body, Jinping devoted himself entirely to studying the "Eternal Night Soul Codex".

His in-depth study.

At the summit of Thunder Island, a mysterious palace is shrouded in complete darkness.

The consciousness avatar of the Lord of Darkness, who had resided here for many years, flickered almost imperceptibly in its eyes.

Did the Ganwu buy his complete set of "Eternal Night Soul Codex"?

The Ganwu has never shown any talent in the Soul Path, has actually started to study this for the first time?

This was probably done specifically for his disciple!

Ganwu was good to his disciple, but he was afraid that it would be too difficult for him to reach the third level of the "Eternal Night Soul Codex" if he studied it alone.

Very well, since the master and apprentice of the Ganwu are so sincere, then the Dark Ones cannot be too stingy.

Once Li Jing meets his requirements, the instructor should be a little more responsible.

There's no need for guidance every ten epochs.

Once every era, Li Jing's talent in the Soul Path should be fully unearthed!

Soon, the slight fluctuation in the eyes of the Lord of Darkness's avatar faded, as if it were just a trivial matter.

For him, what was more important, of course, was exploring the Universe Ocean.

Guiding Li Jing is something for later, and it will only be done casually, without requiring much effort.

How much skill Li Jing can learn depends entirely on his own abilities in the future.
