Fire Domain, the Intelligent Life in the Card Pool

As he continued using Comprehension experience cards, the barrier between a perfected artistic conception and a Domain grew ever clearer.

Finally, at a certain moment, it was as though his shackles had burst apart.

Li Jing's psychic power, Origin Force, will, and body reached perfect harmony. His various powers fused together, giving birth to fiery-red Domain energy capable of interfering with space.

Li Jing's soul trembled. So this is the Fire Domain?

At the same time, all manner of insights into the Fire Domain's essence and path of growth naturally surfaced in his heart.

The Fire Domain was a materialized Domain of the Fire Origin Law, a preliminary projection of the law. At its core was absolute control over flames and high temperatures.

Because the Higher Law corresponding to the Fire Origin Law was the Law of Space, the Fire Domain could also exert a faint influence on space when deployed.

With a Domain, its owner could suppress enemies within it, while significantly increasing his own Origin Force recovery speed, skill power, and Law Comprehension efficiency inside it.

With one side strengthened and the other weakened, a Domain owner facing an opponent of the same realm without a Domain would be carrying out a slaughter!

It was no wonder someone at Planetary Level who possessed a Domain could be called invincible at Planetary Level.

After experiencing the Domain's wondrous uses, Li Jing grew even more eager to raise its level and even comprehend the Law of Fire above it.

Compared to the so-called accumulation of Origin Force, Domains and laws were what geniuses truly pursued!

By gaining an initial grasp of a Lower Law, one had a chance of breaking into the top 1,000 of a Universe Country and competing with geniuses from over a thousand other Universe Countries for a chance to join the Virtual Universe Company's Core Layer.

By gaining an initial grasp of a Higher Law, one had a chance of breaking into the top ten in the entire universe!

There were only a few years left until the Genius Battle began. He had to seize the time to improve his Domain and Law Comprehension!

After using up all the experience cards in his possession, Li Jing took out the Cloud Billow Fruit, a third-stage exotic fruit he had drawn from the only blue SR card in his hundred draws.

The Cloud Billow Fruit was about the size of a baby's fist. Its entire body was pale blue, with cloud-shaped patterns on its surface, and it gave off an enticing, exotic fragrance.

The moment the Cloud Billow Fruit appeared, a slender tendril reached out from the battle armor formed by the Cloud-Touching Vine and wrapped around Li Jing's finger.

"...Mas...ter, want... it..."

The indistinct message came through, unable to conceal the Cloud-Touching Vine's intense longing.

"Eat up!" Li Jing held out the Cloud Billow Fruit.

Like a child who had been given candy, the Cloud-Touching Vine wrapped tightly around the Cloud Billow Fruit. It then shed its battle armor form and returned to its true form as a vine.

As the Cloud-Touching Vine absorbed the Cloud Billow Fruit, its aura grew stronger.

At the same time, its vines became tougher, and its outer skin was faintly speckled with starlight.

Clearly, for the Cloud-Touching Vine, which was only at Planetary Level and had just emerged from its seedling stage,

a single third-stage Cloud Billow Fruit was enough to consolidate part of its foundation and increase its potential.

By the time the Cloud-Touching Vine had completely absorbed the Cloud Billow Fruit, its strength had settled at Planetary Level Seven.

Even that was because most of the fruit's energy had gone toward strengthening the Cloud-Touching Vine's foundation and increasing its potential.

Its rise from Planetary Level First Stage to Planetary Level Seven was merely a byproduct of absorbing the Cloud Billow Fruit!

Watching this, Li Jing could not help marveling at the exceptional advantages of plant lifeforms.

As long as they had enough cultivation resources, they could rapidly break through levels and realms, unlike many races that had requirements for Domains and laws.

Their true bodies were also enormous, their Origin Force reserves extremely abundant, and their regenerative abilities exceptionally powerful.

But the price of these exceptional advantages was enough to make many people shrink back.

They lacked intelligence!

Even an Immortal-level plant lifeform had intelligence equivalent only to that of an ordinary human.

Thus, aside from certain plant lifeforms that were Special Lifeforms, the vast majority of plant lifeforms could only exist as vassals of other intelligent life.

Having completed its advancement, the Cloud-Touching Vine transformed back into the Cloud-Soaring Battle Armor and covered Li Jing's body. A slender tendril extended to touch his cheek gently, conveying gratitude and joy.

After soothing the Cloud-Touching Vine, Li Jing continued drawing cards.

As supernova explosion effects lit up one after another, Li Jing drew countless cards in succession.

The vast majority gave off dull, unremarkable white light, interspersed with a few green ones.

Although there were even fewer blue and purple lights, they stood out among all the white and green.

Only when a dazzling golden light flashed did Li Jing pause his draws.

By then, Li Jing's Black Dragon Coin balance had settled at 14.6 billion.

With the only limited UR card in the current Planetary Level card pool drawn, the pool, which normally refreshed automatically once a year, refreshed as well.

Without taking the time to tally his card draws, Li Jing checked the new card pool first.

At the very top of the card pool was a glittering gold limited UR card: Intelligent Life (same database as Babata).

Li Jing's little heart began pounding despite himself.

Intelligent Life was the highest level of intelligence, far beyond comparison with the ordinary intelligent Optical Computer he currently used.

What was more, the Intelligent Life in this system card pool was not a blank slate. It came with the same database as Babata.

What did that mean?

It meant that, apart from the Inheritance Soul Seal used to help Luo Feng take over the Golden Horned Beast's body, all the inheritances of the Yunmo Star Lineage would be open to him!

These included the Soul Enslavement Secret Art, Soul Seal; the Soul Defense Secret Technique, Void Tower; the spatial cultivation secret technique, Ten Thousand Line Flow; and various other ordinary secret techniques.

For Li Jing, who currently lacked inheritances, this was immensely significant.

His earlier refusal to join Yunmo Planet had not been because he looked down on its secret techniques.

The Inheritance Secret Techniques left behind by Hu Yanbo, whose strength had barely reached Marquis level in life, were still enormously tempting to Li Jing, who was currently weak, only at Planetary Level, and had no other inheritances.

Li Jing had refused only because he feared his own secrets would be exposed.

After all, in Babata's heart, his old master Hu Yanbo would always come first. Even Luo Feng had to rank behind him, and Babata had not even fully acknowledged Luo Feng as his master to this day.

For Li Jing, who possessed the Card Draw System, joining Yunmo Planet outright would undoubtedly place him under Babata's nose, where his secret could blow up at any moment.

When it came to safety and secrecy, the Yunmo Star Lineage's inheritances did not amount to much.

But if he drew the Intelligent Life with the same database as Babata, the limited UR of this card pool,

the risk of his secret blowing up would drop to zero. He would gain an Intelligent Life completely loyal to him, while also getting the Yunmo Star Lineage's inheritances for free.

A massive windfall!

"I still have 14.6 billion Black Dragon Coins. With a one-in-ten-thousand chance of drawing a gold UR card, as long as my luck isn't too bad, I should be able to draw it no matter what!"

Li Jing muttered to himself, then temporarily set the thought aside and began checking the results of his previous draws.

He already had the Fire Domain, so what use could the newly drawn Fire Domain Direct Access Card still have?

It was something to look forward to!
