Old Places, Old Friends

Demon Blade has been enjoying great success lately.

Back then, after Li Jing won first place in the Genius Battle and joined the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company, he also broke through from the Planetary Level to the Star Level.

He was the first genius to emerge since the founding of the Marquis Qingming family.

He comprehended the Wind Domain when he Planetary Level, and cultivated it to an extremely high level.

He was once invincible in the Virtual Universe 'Ganwu branch's Killing Field Decisive Battle Space, until he met Li Jing, who was known as the "Luck Emperor" at the time, and only then did he experience his first defeat among those of the same realm.

But Li Jing's extraordinary performance later proved that it wasn't that he was weak, but rather that Li Jing was too strong.

After breaking through to the Star Level, the Demon Blade displayed its true talent.

In a very short time, he cultivated his domain to the ninth level and successfully entered the Wind Origin Law.

Now, a hundred years later, he has even raised his understanding of the Wind Origin Law to the eleventh level of the Law Tower.

The veterans who participated in the previous Genius Battle hosted by the Virtual Universe Company have now broken through to the Universe Level.

This made him the undisputed number one Star Level genius in the Ganwu Secret Region, and he was highly sought after by many.

Recalling how the newly arrived Planetary Level and Star Level students of the Ganwu Secret Region respectfully addressed him as "Senior Demon Blade," Demon...

Dao couldn't help but feel a little smug.

If things continue like this, it shouldn't be a problem for him to secure a place among the top 1000 in the entire universe for the Ganwu Universe Country in the next Universe Genius Battle held at the Giant Axe Arena.

Just as the Demon Blade left the classroom taught by an Immortal teacher and returned to its Four-Leaf Academy Manor located at the foot of the Ganwu Sacred Mountain.

Many students he encountered along the way greeted him warmly.

Upon arriving at the manor gate, he found his butler Fudi, waiting for him with an excited expression.

"Fudi, didn't we already say there was no need to greet him at the manor gate?"

Seeing this, the Demon Blade waved its hand and said casually.

"Your Highness, Prince Li Jing has arrived! I just sent you a message through the Virtual Universe, but you were in class and didn't respond."

Butler Fudi whispered to Demon Blade.

"Li Jing!"

The Demon Blade, who had been calm all along, completely lost control of his expression.

He knew all too well who Li Jing was.

He was given his only defeat at the same level in the Star Level, and later he overpowered all the veteran students of the Ganwu Secret Region and was accepted as a personal disciple by the great Ganwu Country Lord.

Finally, with an extremely outstanding score, he crushed the so-called genius Death God Bolan of the Noah Universe Country, who was said to be a once-in-ten-thousand-epoch genius, and joined the Primal Secret Region of the Virtual Universe Company.

He had painstakingly cultivated a good relationship with Li Jing, following the instructions of his ancestor, Marquis Qingming.

This also led many powerful Immortal in the secret realm to regard him with higher regard.

Some beings, whom even his ancestor Marquis Qingming had to treat with caution, would even pat him on the shoulder in a friendly manner when they met him, expressing goodwill.

All of this is because of Li Jing.

Otherwise, how could he, a mere ordinary genius with only a chance to break into the top 1000 in the entire universe and whose only hope of achieving Immortal lay in the utmost effort from his family, deserve such treatment?

"Quickly, where is Li Jing? Take me there right now!"

The Demon Blade was so anxious it almost jumped up, and at the same time, it was filled with regret for turning off the Virtual Universe communication earlier.

Isn't that just the Immortal's public lecture about the Law of Wind?

Compared to Li Jing, this is nothing!

Maintaining a good relationship with Li Jing would benefit not only him, but also his entire family.

"Your Highness, Prince Li Jing is currently in the reception hall. I have already instructed that he be received with the highest honors."

"Fudi, you did a great job! You'll get double the cultivation resources later!"

Without turning his head, Demon Blade said a sentence, then used his Wind Domain Law of Wind to enhance his speed and rushed towards the reception room.

On his way to the reception room, Demon Blade secretly wondered to himself.

Logically speaking, only a little over 100 years have passed since the Genius Battle ended; Li Jing should have only just emerged from the Initial Universe.

Why are you back so soon?

Is something wrong, or have they already broken through to the Domain Lord Level?

It should be the former!

It can't be that it's broken through to the Domain Lord Level, can it?

He had heard from the patriarch that geniuses who joined the Core Layer the five major powers would not rush to break through, but would hone themselves at each stage, and only plan for the future after reaching their limit.

However, Li Jing was returning to the Ganwu Secret Region, yet he still remembered me; he truly is a person who cherishes old friendships.

He put aside his so-called arrogance and stayed in the residential area of Ganwu Secret Region. As soon as Li Jing arrived, he prepared generous gifts and went to show his goodwill.

When Li Jing needed anything later, he went to great lengths to meet his needs.

Even now, I'm still incredibly grateful!

Li Jing's rise to power was too rapid; the window of opportunity to befriend him was unimaginably short.

If he had been even a step later, Li Jing would have displayed an astonishing Law Comprehension the laws when he challenged the Law Tower, and would have been accepted as a personal disciple by the great Ganwu Country Lord.

Even if he pays a great price, he will have no way to get close to Li Jing again.

In the Ganwu Secret Region, who among those eager to curry favor with Li Jing didn't envy him?

Upon entering the reception room, Demon Blade saw a figure sitting with his back to him.

Holding a drink in his hand, he swirled it slowly and deliberately.

The liquid in the glass swirled subtly with his movements, seemingly containing some kind of mystery.

The Demon Blade couldn't help but observe closely, feeling that the liquid in the cup was like a black hole, drawing in one's soul.

He could vaguely see the intertwining of the Space-Time Origin Law.

That small cup somehow evoked a sense of temporal and spatial dislocation.

The Demon Blade dared not look at it for long and quickly looked away from the cup.

I was deeply shocked and speechless.

Only a little over 100 years have passed in the Primal Universe, yet Li Jing's Law Comprehension has already reached such a level?

His unintentional actions gave him an even stronger feeling than when he personally faced the ancestor Marquis Qingming.

Are those the Space Origin Law?

Is Li Jing practicing the path of simultaneous cultivation across time and space?

But during the Genius Battle, didn't he only demonstrate an understanding of the Space Origin Law?

At this moment, countless doubts arose deep within the Demon Blade's heart, along with a trace of disbelief.

Could it be that Li Jing's current Law Comprehension has surpassed that of the Ancestor?

How... how is this possible?

The Demon Blade quickly separated a sliver of its consciousness to record the scene before it, preparing to ask its ancestor Marquis Qingming, about it later.

With the Ancestor's strength, he should be able to easily determine what stage Li Jing's Law Comprehension has reached.

Perhaps it's just that his own strength and level are too low, his vision is limited, and he's misjudged the situation.

Even if Li Jing is a genius, he can't be this monstrous, right?

"Demon Blade, you're back!"

As the Demon Blade was lost in thought, the figure in his line of sight turned around and said in a calm tone.
