Luo Feng was immersed in enlightenment within the Holy Monument Tower, thirsting for knowledge and unwilling to waste even a moment.
One day, two days, three days…
…
In the Holy City, within one of the ancient training residences located in the Sacred Land, Sifanqi, Kasha, Dylon, and five Sovereigns resided together.
“Prince Luo Feng has entered the Holy Monument Tower for cultivation. You all should focus on your training and only challenge the human prince when you believe your strength surpasses that of Beiluo,” Elder Sifanqi coldly addressed the group of young Gold Horn Race gathered outside the training residence. “It’s already disgraceful enough to challenge without sufficient strength.”
An immortal pressure spread through the air.
The gathered youths felt fear at the presence of an immortal Sovereign. Even in powerful upper-tier tribes, there were usually only one or two such beings. They were undeniably figures of great prestige.
“What are you still standing there for? Get back!” Elder Sifanqi suddenly roared.
“Yes, Elder.”
The youths hastily bowed and, though reluctant, obediently dispersed.
Watching them leave, Elder Sifanqi couldn’t help but shake his head. These youths had been stirred up by past victories over humans, and now were acting recklessly.
“Compared to humans, our race is clearly inferior in intelligence,” Elder Sifanqi mused. “Rock-based lifeforms and flesh-based lifeforms are vastly different. While we may have a higher probability of producing powerful warriors, our reproductive capacity and intelligence are far behind. These youths act impulsively, ignoring everything else.”
Indeed, the Gold Horn Race was like that—once their blood was hot, they would fight to the death.
Humans, however, were different.
Humans were far more intelligent. Even apprentice-level humans were extremely clever. While Gold Horn warriors might possess “strong computational abilities,” rivaling intelligent light brains, they were far behind in emotional intelligence. In short, they were “naive” and “lacked cunning.” However, those who had survived for countless years eventually developed great wisdom through the trials of time.
“Elder Sifanqi.”
Dylon approached with five Sovereign guards.
“Mr. Dylon,” Sifanqi smiled.
“It’s troubling you, Elder Sifanqi. Every time too many challengers come, it’s always you who must step forward to maintain order,” Dylon, dressed in black robes, said with a smile. “For the past twenty days, there hasn’t been a moment of peace. You’ve truly been working hard, Elder Sifanqi.”
“It’s our Gold Horn Race that has failed in hospitality,” Sifanqi shook his head helplessly. “There are too many youths in our race. Although I’ve already issued orders to forbid disturbances, some still dare to challenge. I can’t bring myself to kill those youths who represent our future, so I can only scold them away. It’s troubling you all during your cultivation.”
“It’s nothing,” Dylon shook his head.
“These challenges from our race are trivial,” Elder Sifanqi said. “What truly worries me is a gifted youth within our race.”
“Who?” Dylon asked quickly.
“Beiqiu.”
Elder Sifanqi said gravely. “He is the elder brother of Beiluo, one of the genius brothers from the Holy City Elder Divine Palace lineage. Among the genius warriors of our race at the Domain Lord Ninth Stage, Beiluo was ranked within the top ten, while his elder brother Beiqiu is undoubtedly the number one. In terms of comprehension of the laws, by human standards, he should possess the ability of the ‘Tenth Level of the Heaven-Connecting Bridge.'”
“Ah? The Tenth Level?” Dylon was greatly surprised.
It was extremely difficult to advance from the Ninth to the Tenth Level.
Among the Domain Lord-level original secret realm members of the Virtual Universe Company, there were ten in total—nine at the Tenth Level of the Heaven-Connecting Bridge, and one at the Eleventh Level.
He hadn’t expected the Gold Horn Race to also have such a genius.
“The Beiqiu brothers are infamous for their savagery and ruthlessness. They are a pair of brothers steeped in profound malice,” Elder Sifanqi intoned gravely. “Beiluo has been defeated, and once Beiqiu learns of this, he will undoubtedly hasten back to the Holy City without delay. Given Beiqiu’s arrogant and ferocious temperament, he is certain to challenge Prince Luo Feng. The challenges from other clansmen are insignificant, but Beiqiu… he is the foremost genius among the Domain Lords!”
“Hmm.” Dylon also frowned.
Actually, Luo Feng’s defeat of Beiluo had already surprised Dylon.
Dylon had even secretly reported that battle to Zhenyan King!
“Prince Luo Feng will likely lose against Beiqiu,” Dylon thought to himself. “The gap between the Ninth and Tenth Levels is very significant, and Prince Luo Feng’s cultivation time is too short…”
…
As Elder Sifanqi and Dylon were conversing, they suddenly sensed a powerful presence.
“Hmm?”
Elder Sifanqi, Dylon, the five Sovereigns, and Kasha all turned their heads simultaneously.
“The Holy Monument Tower!”
Both Sifanqi and Dylon exclaimed in shock.
In the distance, the towering golden tower, over a hundred kilometers high, was now enveloped in an immense aura of laws. Golden runes flowed around it, radiating golden light. At that moment, the entire golden Holy Monument Tower was dazzlingly radiant, and the intense fluctuations of the primal laws sent shivers through the hearts of all present.
“The Primal Law has descended!” Elder Sifanqi and Dylon exchanged shocked glances. They both knew exactly what this meant.
“Prince Luo Feng is inside the Holy Monument Tower,” one of Dylon’s Sovereign guards exclaimed joyfully.
“Other than the guardian, only Prince Luo Feng is inside the Holy Monument Tower,” Elder Sifanqi’s eyes gleamed. “Now that the Primal Law has descended… and it is the Metal Law, there’s no doubt—Luo Feng has gained recognition from the Metal Law.”
“Recognition from the Primal Law!” Kasha gasped. “Prince Luo Feng is only at the Domain Lord level…”
“Yes.”
Dylon gazed at the distant Holy Monument Tower, his heart filled with excitement as he nodded repeatedly. He thought to himself, “I must immediately report this to my Grandmaster.”
…
Within the Sacred Land, where powerful cultivators abounded, it was not uncommon for a secluded practitioner to receive recognition from the Primal Laws, manifesting special phenomena such as the “Descent of the Primal Law.” The cultivators of the Sacred Land were long accustomed to such sights… but this time, the phenomenon occurred within the Holy Monument Tower.
Moreover, many knew that the human Domain Lord genius was alone in his meditation within the Holy Monument Tower.
“Has the human genius received recognition from the Primal Law?”
“So fast!”
“At the Domain Lord Ninth Stage, he has already gained recognition from the Primal Law! It seems he has reached an extremely high level in the Metal Primal Law.”
“Amazing.”
Many cultivators within the Sacred Land gazed upward at the towering golden tower.
…
Inside the Holy Monument Tower.
Luo Feng stood silently before the towering pale-green Holy Monument, his eyes fixed on the image of a roaring demon depicted on the monument.
“Rumble~~~” The surrounding space trembled slightly.
A golden droplet materialized above Luo Feng’s head and fell directly downward.
Drip!
The golden droplet landed on Luo Feng’s head, passing through his physical body as though it were nothing, and continued to penetrate into his ‘Origin Core,’ as if passing through emptiness itself, finally landing on the Primal Core.
The Primal Core was the fusion of the soul crystal and the primal energy crystal at the Domain Lord stage.
It was the core of Luo Feng’s power! The core of his soul!
“Hisss~~” Effortlessly, the golden droplet was completely absorbed by the Primal Core, leaving a faint trace of gold upon it.
At this moment—
Luo Feng had officially received recognition from the Primal Law of Metal.
Slowly, a golden sword mark emerged on Luo Feng’s forehead, its faint fluctuations sending shivers through the hearts of those who sensed it. This was the mark of recognition from the Primal Law! Simultaneously, a much larger golden sword mark appeared on the forehead of the Gold Horn Beast.
“I didn’t expect my comprehension of the Metal Law to have reached the level of Primal Law recognition,” Luo Feng smiled faintly. “Now that I’ve received recognition from the Primal Law, I should be able to enter the Sea of Laws.”
…
The Primal Realm of the Universe was an unfathomably mysterious place.
After reaching the Sovereign level, due to the “World Power,” Luo Feng’s consciousness could merge with the boundless earth. Now, with a droplet of Primal Law water merging into his soul, his soul consciousness underwent a subtle transformation. At this moment, Luo Feng felt a soul-shaking call.
As if a mother calling her children.
“Whoosh!”
Half of Luo Feng’s consciousness swiftly detached from the boundless earth, irresistibly drawn toward that call.
“Rumble~~~”
An endless golden ocean stretched infinitely.
This was the Primal Realm of the Metal Law, the source of the Metal Law throughout the Primordial Universe. Infinite fluctuations of the laws permeated every corner of this ocean, its immense pressure far surpassing any being Luo Feng had ever encountered. Fortunately, Luo Feng had already gained recognition from this Sea of Laws and was now merging into a single droplet within it.
“Rumble~~~” The waves surged and rolled endlessly.
Luo Feng’s consciousness, merged within a single droplet, drifted with the ocean, continuously exploring and comprehending the Metal Law.
…
Part of his consciousness merged with the boundless earth, part merged with the Sea of Metal Law, and the final part observed and meditated upon the Holy Monument before him.
“My consciousness has gained recognition from the Primal Metal Law. My current rate of comprehension of the Metal Law is no less than that of the Spatial Law,” Luo Feng gazed at the Holy Monument, his heart filled with joy. Gaining recognition from the Primal Law signified that his understanding of the laws had reached an extremely high level.
“Twenty days of meditation.”
“At the Sovereign level, cultivation is hundreds of times more efficient than at the Domain Lord level, especially with the enhancement from the Holy Monument. One day here is almost equivalent to a hundred years of Domain Lord-level cultivation.”
“Twenty days equates to nearly two thousand years of Domain Lord-level cultivation.”
Luo Feng marveled.
This was merely a reflection on the vast difference between Sovereign and Domain Lord levels. Within the Virtual Universe Company, the competition among Sovereign-level original secret realm members was the fiercest. Through generations of Genius Battles, Hero Battles, and the selection of elite humans across the universe, only the finest of millions of years were gathered into the Sovereign ranks.
And yet, only one hundred of them reached the Sovereign level in the original secret realm!
“No wonder the Sovereign level is so highly valued. A single day of Sovereign-level cultivation is worth a year at the Domain Lord level. With Sovereigns cultivating for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years… how can Domain Lord-level geniuses compete?” Luo Feng mused.
“Yes.”
“This Holy Monument is perfectly aligned with the path of Space and Metal, greatly benefiting me,” Luo Feng stared at the Holy Monument before him. “With less than ten days remaining, I must not waste a single moment.”
Gaining recognition from the Law had only distracted Luo Feng for a minute or two. Afterward, he once again immersed himself in meditation.
