Chapter 1199: Lei Fu! The Astonished Ye Lan!

Whoosh—

The blue Lei Guang subtly receded, finally leaving a faint blue lightning mark on Xu Jingming's forehead.

This mark resembled the one on Lu Wen's forehead, but was far dimmer and lacked the aura of merging with the fundamental laws of heaven and earth.

The reason was simple: Lu Wen's lightning law had been recognized by the primordial source of the laws.

While Xu Jingming had merely received a seed.

"Thank you, Master, for granting me the lightning law seed!" Xu Jingming bowed again.

The value of this law seed was likely a thousand, ten thousand times greater than that dark abyss spear!

No, it couldn't even be measured by value!

"You deserve it!"

Lu Wen laughed heartily, "How do you feel now that you possess this law seed?"

"Better than ever before, as if I'm constantly perceiving lightning."

Xu Jingming nodded, "But this mark on my forehead is too conspicuous."

He preferred to keep a low profile, yet this forehead mark made that impossible.

"Good that it's conspicuous—it's a symbol of your identity."

Lu Wen smiled, "Whenever you travel outside, no matter who sees it,

they'll know you're backed by an Immortal Deity and won't dare attack you lightly."

He paused, then added, "But there's a downside: alien races will notice your existence and may launch assassinations."

"I understand," Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

The universe is vast; though humanity is a peak race,

there are also six other peak races: the Beast Race, the Mechanical Race, the Demon Race, the Insect Race, the Spirit Race, and the Void Race.

The Spirit Race and Void Race are more passive, mostly confining themselves within their own territories.

The other races, however, constantly fight each other.

They even infiltrate one another to eliminate rising prodigies before they grow strong.

Overall, obtaining the lightning law seed brings both advantages and disadvantages.

"But within the Noah Mother Planet, you can rest completely assured.

The Immortal Deities' spiritual forces constantly envelop all ten mother planets; alien races find it nearly impossible to infiltrate, and even if they do,

the moment anyone tries to attack you, we'll annihilate them instantly.

As long as you stay on the mother planet, no one can harm you," Lu Wen added with a smile.

"Master, I plan to travel to Blackstone Star next—would that be problematic?" Xu Jingming hesitated.

If he could be assassinated even on Blackstone Star, he'd rather stay longer in the Sacred Land's Beast Trial Zone.

"You're leaving for training so soon?" Lu Wen was surprised.

Most geniuses entering the Sacred Land typically remain inside for decades,

only venturing out after digesting their gains and hitting a bottleneck.

"That's how I was in my hometown," Xu Jingming explained with a smile. "Fighting beasts accelerates my growth."

"I understand—trial by life and death does make breakthroughs easier," Lu Wen mused. "Within a ten-thousand-light-year radius around the Noah Mother Planet, the Cosmic Fleet maintains constant patrols.

Blackstone Star is only 325 light-years from the mother planet; the probability of alien presence is extremely low.

Still, for safety, take this."

As he spoke, a faint glow shimmered from his space ring.

A deep blue talisman materialized out of thin air.

The talisman was inscribed with intricate lightning patterns, emitting faint but heart-stopping energy fluctuations.

"What is this...?"

Xu Jingming sensed astonishing lightning law fluctuations emanating from the talisman.

"This is my own crafted 'Lei Fu.'"

Lu Wen handed the talisman to Xu Jingming:

"When activated, it grants you a trace of my residual lightning law power.

It temporarily elevates your lightning domain to the law level.

And raises your rank to Star Level One.

Activation lasts ten minutes.

After ten minutes, you'll fall into extreme weakness.

So during that time, you must either defeat a powerful foe or retreat."

Xu Jingming accepted it with both hands, feeling the talisman heavy as a mountain.

Upon closer inspection, the lightning patterns were composed of countless microscopic law inscriptions—profoundly mysterious!

"Thank you, Master!" Xu Jingming's expression was filled with excitement.

He knew that though Star Level was only one rank above Starlight Level,

the power difference was incalculable!

Despite the many Star Level experts within the Noah Sacred Land,

"Thank you, Teacher!" Xu Jingming said, his expression filled with excitement.

You have to know that although the Star Rank is only one level apart from the Starlight Rank.

The difference in strength is countless times greater!

Don't think there are many Star Rank experts within the Holy Land of Noah.

In fact, there are very few Star Rank experts in the entire Noah Empire.

A single Star Rank expert in a remote region can rule over a thousand inhabited planets.

This thunder talisman can temporarily elevate one's cultivation realm by an entire major stage!

It's simply outrageously heaven-defying!

If this were revealed outside, it would certainly trigger a frenzied scramble.

"Since you've chosen to venture out for cultivation trials, your master naturally must ensure your safety."

Lu Wen smiled faintly.

This was originally prepared for Xu Jingming.

He simply hadn't expected Xu Jingming to leave the Sacred Grounds for trials so soon.

After handing over the thunder talisman, Lu Wen did not linger and departed quickly.

"Tsk tsk, Thunder Law Seed, thunder talisman—Master Lu Wen is treating you like a True Disciple."

No sooner had Lu Wen left than Eva, the green-haired twin-tailed little girl, popped out of her smart armband, exclaiming in awe.

"True Disciple?" Xu Jingming looked puzzled.

"It means they're training you as their successor."

Eva explained with a smile, "Eternal Gods live for eons and take on countless students.

The vast majority receive only ordinary treatment; only True Disciples are granted the finest resources."

"I see. But given my talent, isn't it natural for me to be a True Disciple?"

Xu Jingming had great confidence in his talent.

After all, with the Deep Blue System's aid, breaking through to the Eternal Rank in a single day—given enough Source Points—wasn't even a dream.

"That's true. Your S-rank talent is the most insane I've ever seen."

Eva didn't deny this point.

In her elf race, even the most prodigious elf bloodline

could never manifest a Law Form within hours of obtaining a Law Form scripture.

"Ding ling ling~~~"

Suddenly, the smart armband rang with a communication alert—it was Ye Lan calling.

"Xu Jingming, have you returned to the Sacred Grounds?"

He tapped to answer, and Ye Lan's crisp, melodious voice came from the other end.

Her purpose, of course, was to treat him to a meal; Xu Jingming, having already agreed, didn't hide it.

Soon after, Xu Jingming saw Ye Lan flying in from the A-656 residential zone.

Her slender figure descended from afar and landed before the villa.

Today, she wasn't wearing her battle suit, but casual attire instead.

On top, a black T-shirt, slightly loose in cut, stretched taut across her full chest.

Below, a light blue denim short skirt made her Bai Xi legs appear even longer.

Her purple hair fell naturally to her slender waist.

She looked both tall and coldly elegant.

"Sis, you're dressed quite differently today."

Xu Jingming greeted with a smile.

But Ye Lan stared fixedly at the faint lightning mark on his forehead.

Her rosy lips parted slightly in shock:

"You've already obtained the Thunder Law Seed?"
