The palace of the Ganwu Country Lord is not located on Ganwu Sacred Mountain, but in a separate space.

As one of the Eighteen Divine Generals under the command of the Ganwu Country Lord, the Thirteen Divine Generals naturally qualified to come here.

He stood outside the palace, looking anxious.

"Quickly inform the king, I have urgent business to discuss with him!"

The guards at the palace dared not be negligent and quickly replied respectfully, "Please wait a moment, Lord Thirteen."

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder what could have caused the Thirteen Divine Generals to lose their composure and insist on meeting the king in person.

If the matter isn't very important, just leave a message for the great ruler in the Virtual Universe.

A moment later, "Your Lord Thirteen, the King invites you in!"

"Um!"

The Thirteen Divine Generals nodded and then entered the palace.

"Thirteen, what brings you here?"

The imposing and majestic figure of the Ganwu Country Lord sat atop the palace, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

In fact, he was also curious about what the Thirteen Divine Generals to see him about, especially since they had already contacted him once before.

"Your Majesty, regarding Li Jing, whom I reported to you before, who is at the Planetary Level and has only just entered the threshold of the Fire Origin Law..."

"Yes, I remember."

"As Your Majesty instructed, I have guided him to the Ganwu Secret Region and given him the treatment due to Four-Leaf Student."

He had already broken through to the Star Level and was heading to the Trial Zone to challenge the Law Tower.

"Oh? For you to come here in person to report, it seems that the little guy did quite well in the tower. He must have comprehended the Fire Origin Law."

Which floor have you passed? Floor 12?

That's good. At this Genius Battle, I'm confident I can break into the top 1000 in the entire universe in a few years.

If we wait until the previous year, taking first place shouldn't be a problem.

"Your Majesty, Li Jing has passed through 13 levels of the Fire Origin Law Tower in one go, stopped at the 14th level, and also passed through 5 levels of the Space Origin Law Tower in one go!"

This matter is of great importance, and I dare not act on my own initiative, so I have taken the liberty of coming to report it.

The Ganwu Country Lord opened his slightly narrowed eyes, and a flash of lightning seemed to pass through them.

"Quickly pull up the footage of Li Jing's tower-climbing adventure!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A moment later, the Ganwu Country Lord's eyes gleamed even brighter after watching all of Li Jing's tower-climbing videos.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

The Ganwu Country Lord used three "good"s in a row to describe it.

With his discerning eye, it wouldn't be difficult for him to see Li Jing's true skill level.

Having just broken through to the Star Level, Li Jing's understanding of both the Fire Origin Law and the Space Origin Law is comparable to that of a typical World Lord.

Furthermore, his understanding of the Law of Space, which is Higher Origin Law, is slightly better than that of the Law of Fire.

Judging from his talent for Law Comprehension, he can be considered a genius who appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs in the Human Race.

Based on this alone, one is guaranteed to be crowned King-level Immortal in the future, with a sliver of hope of becoming Space Venerable.

However, what he valued was not just these things.

Li Jing's talent in swordsmanship, movement, and Spiritual Force weaponry, as demonstrated in battle, also raised his opinion of Li Jing.

In the battle against the guardians of the Law Tower, it was clear that the same arcane arts and Spiritual Force weapons were being used.

The power and agility with which Li Jing used his abilities were superior to those of the gatekeeper.

This proves that Li Jing, in addition to comprehending the laws, is also an extremely talented combat genius.

In the battle against the guardian of the fifth level of the Space Law Tower, Li Jing, with his initial Law Comprehension of the Nine Line Flow, unleashed an effect comparable to the Hundred Line Flow.

This further made the Ganwu Country Lord realize just how outstanding Li Jing's talent was in Law of Space.

Not to mention his will, which was a whole realm higher than his own strength.

The more you progress in your cultivation, the greater the importance of willpower becomes.

Those with stronger and more resilient wills are not only more likely to escape death in desperate situations, but can also help break through barriers.

Judging solely by his innate talent, Li Jing has only a sliver of hope of breaking through to the Space Venerable.

Combined with all the talents that have been displayed, especially a strong will, and the careful guidance of a teacher.

The Ganwu Country Lord was confident that he could increase this sliver of hope to 30%.

At this point, the Ganwu Country Lord had already considered taking on a disciple.

He, High Universe Venerable and the ruler of the Ganwu Universe Country for countless epochs, had surprisingly few disciples and subordinates of any worthwhile caliber.

Of the ten or so disciples who are still alive, the strongest among them is only at the Peak King Rank.

Li Jing's appearance gave him hope of cultivating a disciple of the Venerable One.

If he could cultivate a disciple at the Venerable Level, it would bring immense benefits to the clan, offsetting a portion of the countless debts he owed to the clan.

And the benefits go far beyond that.

In the universe, the master-disciple relationship, which is formally established, is very important, even closer than that of ordinary blood relatives.

After all, in the endless long years of a strong person, parents and relatives will all die with the passage of time.

Very few can achieve Immortal and remain a constant companion to the strong.

In such circumstances, a disciple who can accompany his teacher for countless years, even go on adventures together and entrust his back to him, will naturally have a very close relationship with his teacher.

Anyone who openly betrays their teacher will be met with the contempt and disdain of countless powerful figures.

Similarly, if a teacher takes on a disciple but doesn't diligently teach him, carefully plan his path to growth, or protect him along the way, he will also be despised.

Various factors have made the master-disciple relationship one of the strongest relationships in the universe.

We're taking on apprentices! We'll take on apprentices right now!

Li Jing has only just revealed his talent, and it's still within his Ganwu Secret Region. For now, he's the only Universe Venerable who knows about it.

But if things drag on and other Universe Venerable find out, there will definitely be many shameless old men who will try to steal his disciple.

A disciple with a 30% chance of breaking through to the Universe Venerable is already highly sought after at that level.

How difficult is it for Universe Venerable to break through to the next level?

Throughout the countless ages since the birth of Human Race, so-called geniuses have emerged in an endless stream.

But ultimately, only a handful of them become Universe Venerable.

If Universe Venerable were placed among some weak races, he would be a pillar supporting the race and preventing it from being destroyed in the universe!

Among the many Universe Venerable in humankind, there are countless others like him whose disciples have not yet become venerable beings themselves.

Even if someone already has a Venerable disciple under their command, who would mind having one more Venerable disciple?

"Thirteen, go outside the Law Tower right now. As soon as Li Jing comes out, bring him to me. I intend to take him as my personal disciple!"

Boom!

The words of the Ganwu Country Lord exploded in the minds of the Thirteen Divine Generals like a thunderbolt.

The last time our great ruler accepted a disciple seems to have been tens of millions of years ago, and even then, he only accepted nominal disciples first.

Li Jing's talent was so great that the King himself went so far as to personally take him on as a disciple.

Even he would have to address the Star Level Li Jing as His Highness from now on.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Jing reappeared on the 5th floor of the Space Law Tower.

Shaking his head, he said, "The sixth level is truly beyond my current capabilities. The gatekeeper, a master of the Hundred Line Flow technique, unleashed over a thousand Phantom Body, and even with all my might, I only managed to hold out for two breaths!"

No rush. I've already earned a lot of points from this series of tower runs. I'll exchange them for card draw funds and have a blast drawing cards later.

Hundred Line Flow?

He could also do it!

Even though the Ten Thousand Line Flow Secret Technique becomes increasingly difficult to improve as you progress, Li Jing still has so many points at his disposal.

I'll exchange all my Black Dragon Coin for gacha pulls and use all the Comprehension-Type Experience Card I get later.

I refuse to believe we can't even make a splash!

Dispersing his thoughts, Li Jing left the Law Tower.

When he reappeared in the trial area, the Thirteen Divine Generals who had been waiting there greeted him.

"Your Highness Li Jing, His Majesty the King requests your presence!"

Your Highness?

I?
