Chapter 1171

Congratulations to both prodigies on becoming disciples of the Eternal Deity.

Your accommodations have been upgraded to Zone A, adjacent to each other.

Additionally, here are the initial resources granted by the Sacred Ground to Level One geniuses.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, Xu Jingming and Lei Guang each received a space ring from Lord Hei Yu.

Xu Jingming, I'm going with the teacher for a while—we'll meet again at the dormitory area.

Lei Guang took his leave first, rising to follow Kaiyi away.

The remaining Eternal Deities also dispersed individually.

Let's go too.

Shu—

Lu Wen grabbed Xu Jingming and his own student beside him; a flash of blue Lei Guang appeared, and the three vanished instantly from their spot.

When they reappeared, they stood atop a mountain peak soaring into the clouds!

Lightning crackled and thunder roared here; the entire peak was shrouded in dense lightning elements.

At the summit stood a spacious, ancient-style villa.

"This is...?!" Xu Jingming's heart trembled.

This was not a space teleportation like Ling Shuang's.

It was speed pushed to its absolute limit—in an instant, Lu Wen had transported him elsewhere, faster than lightning!

"This is my temporary residence within the Sacred Ground."

The tall, slender youth, over two meters and fifty centimeters high, who had been walking beside Lu Wen, smiled and explained.

Come on, let's go inside.

Lu Wen led the two into the villa, sat down on the sofa, then turned to Xu Jingming and said:

I have many disciples.

Your talent, even among them, ranks among the top.

From now on, I will set aside one day each month to guide and answer your questions in the Virtual Universe.

For the rest of the time, if you have any cultivation questions, ask your senior brother Jiesi.

Beside Lu Wen, the two-meter-fifty-tall Jiesi smiled and spoke:

Senior brother, hello. The teacher won't stay long on the homeworld; daily instruction will be handled by me.

Senior brother, hello. Xu Jingming bowed quickly.

He had already guessed from the man's tone that he too was the teacher's student—only now did he learn his name.

Your senior brother Jiesi is a Universe Rank Six elemental master, mastering the three laws of Destruction, Lightning, and Light.

He specializes in Lightning and Light laws; your cultivation questions should mostly be solvable by him.

Lu Wen said.

But Xu Jingming was puzzled.

If higher laws are stronger, why does Senior Brother Jiesi specialize in Lightning and Light laws instead of Destruction?

As if sensing Xu Jingming's confusion, Jiesi sighed and explained:

Training higher laws is extremely difficult.

In my youth, I was just like you—cultivating both Destruction and Lightning.

At the Domain stage, it was manageable; though Destruction Domain was hard, it was still possible to progress.

But at the Law stage, the difficulty of Destruction Law skyrocketed.

My Lightning Law is nearly entering the Origin stage.

Yet my Destruction Law remains stuck at the second level.

I had no choice but to pause Destruction Law training and turn to Light Law instead.

Eventually, I broke through to Universe Rank using Lightning and Light as dual Origin laws.

Training higher laws is extremely arduous—even your teacher studied Destruction Law.

Like your senior brother, the path from Destruction Law to Destruction Origin proved too difficult—I had to abandon it.

Had I stubbornly clung to Destruction Law, I likely never would have broken through to Eternal Rank.

Nor would I have become one of the Ten Pillars of the Noah Empire.

So sometimes, you must learn to let go.

A flicker of reminiscence appeared in Lu Wen's eyes, then he turned serious:

You have indeed shown astonishing talent in Destruction.

Still, I'd like you to follow your senior brother Jiesi's path and switch to Light Law.

That way, you won't waste too much time on higher laws—do you agree?

"I still wish to try," Xu Jingming said after a pause.

Come on—with the system, why worry about Destruction Law?

The harder, the better—my combat power will grow even stronger after adding points!

Of course. You made the same choice I once did.

Jiesi shook his head slightly.

Geniuses all have their own pride.

If someone's few words could sway your choice, you wouldn't have reached this point.

Very well. You're still young—you have plenty of chances to make mistakes.

Lu Wen had expected this. "You haven't yet cultivated a Law Form—do you have any preferences regarding Law Form scriptures?"

"I'll go along with whatever the teacher arranges! But what I originally had my eye on was the T7-grade Dharma Aspect 'Silent Annihilation Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan' in the Holy Land Shangcheng."

Xu Jingming said hurriedly.

Lu Wen, as an Eternal Spirit, should be able to pull out a better Dharma Aspect than the Holy Land Shangcheng.

Sure enough, Lu Wen said with a smile: "Although the Silent Annihilation Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan is a T7-grade Dharma Aspect, it's on the more mediocre side.

Here I have a T7 premium-grade Dharma Aspect called 'Thunder Abyss Sun-Devouring Aspect.'

This Dharma Aspect fuses the dual domains of Destruction and Thunder-Lightning. While manifesting the Dharma Aspect, it can condense a massive Dharma Aspect true body, amplifying the domain's might.

However, the cultivation difficulty is also far harsher than the Silent Annihilation Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan.

It all depends on how you choose."

"Thunder Abyss Sun-Devouring Aspect!" Xu Jingming didn't hesitate in the slightest.

"Very good! That's exactly the kind of unstoppable spirit one should have!"

Lu Wen laughed heartily and tossed Xu Jingming a cultivation manual directly:

"Take a look first. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll resolve your doubts in a month.

Also, from your performance in the trial area, you should have absorbed demon-race essence blood.

Although demon-race essence blood can strengthen our physiques, it likewise affects our development potential.

You cultivate the Law of Thunder-Lightning, so just use pure thunder and lightning to temper your body.

This is the manual for the Body-Tempering Art. Also, there's the manual for the Origin Energy Cultivation Art…"

Lu Wen tossed out several manuals in one breath.

Besides these, there were the promised resources, as well as equipment and the like.

Half an hour later,

when Xu Jingming left the villa with senior brother Jess, he was still in a state of excitement.

Bountiful!

The manuals and resources Lu Wen gave were simply too bountiful!

They were on a level he couldn't possibly access at his current stage!

According to Yiwa's way of putting it, even a Cosmic-level being would be tempted to snatch these resources!

Additionally, Lu Wen also laid out the conditions for obtaining a Law of Thunder-Lightning seed.

Within 100 years, complete the cultivation of the T7-grade Dharma Aspect "Thunder Abyss Sun-Devouring Aspect."

"100 years — is this 'Thunder Abyss Sun-Devouring Aspect' really that hard to cultivate?"

On the way flying back to Lodging Area A, Xu Jingming couldn't help but ask senior brother Jess.

"It's not just ordinarily hard — it's extremely hard!

Once you get back, carefully flip through the manual once and you'll know.

Let me put it this way: this Dharma Aspect was obtained by the teacher through a stroke of serendipity.

In tens of thousands of years, only two disciples have ever succeeded in cultivating it."

Jess's gaze toward Xu Jingming carried a trace of regret.

It's a pity — Xu Jingming insisted on choosing this "Thunder Abyss Sun-Devouring Aspect."

If he had chosen another Dharma Aspect, the probability of obtaining a Law of Thunder-Lightning seed would be much higher.

Xu Jingming's heart jolted at those words.

Anyone who can become Lu Wen's student basically possesses heaven-defying talent.

Yet even so, in tens of thousands of years only two have succeeded.

This undoubtedly says something.

'I'll look at this manual as soon as I get back. I want to see just what makes it so difficult!'

Xu Jingming's gaze flickered slightly.

With the Deep Blue system, he didn't feel completing this Dharma Aspect's cultivation would be all that hard.
