Chapter 130: Purchasing Secret Arts

Along the way, a powerful law fluctuation occasionally emanated from somewhere below.

"Your Highness Xiao Yu need not be surprised," Aitour smiled, "Every prince of the Primordial Secret Realm is equipped with a guard army!"

"It will be led specifically by an Immortal Military Lord, and each prince of the Primordial Secret Realm may freely choose an Immortal Divine Spirit teacher who resides long‑term in his own manor."

"Therefore, the law fluctuations of Immortal Divine Spirits frequently appear in the Primordial Zone."

Xiao Yu listened and nodded.

"The Primordial Zone originally contained 113 manors," Aitour gestured toward the endless stretch of estates below, "100 Realm Lord Level princes, 10 Domain Lord Level princes, 3 Universe-level princes; with the addition of Your Highness Xiao Yu and Your Highness Bo Lan, there are now temporarily five Universe-level princes."

The two of them flew through the void.

"Your Highness Xiao Yu, your manor is number 114," Aitour said, pointing at the vast estate.

The two landed at the main gate of the manor, where countless formations were lined up in perfect rows; at a glance, at least tens of thousands of people. At the front of the various formations stood a man in white robes and golden armor, with lavender‑colored long hair, a gentle demeanor, and black eyes that faintly glimmered with gold.

"Your Highness!" the white‑robed, golden‑armored man bowed slightly.

"Salutations, Your Highness!" Ten Realm Lords, a hundred Domain Lords, and numerous Universe-level warriors behind him all knelt on one knee in respect.

The thousands of servants also knelt down, displaying extreme humility and reverence.

"Your Highness Xiao Yu, this is your guard army commander—Nick Watt," Aitour said, pointing at the white‑robed, golden‑armored man.

"Your Highness, just call me Nick," the white‑robed, golden‑armored man replied, "Your safety from now on will be my responsibility."

"I'll trouble you, Mr. Nick!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Your Highness, leave the rest to Nick; I shall take my leave now!" Aitour smiled.

Xiao Yu followed Nick to get acquainted with the manor's layout, then entered his own villa to rest.

He prepared to explore the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company.

He received an email sent by the Virtual Universe Company.

The gist was that he had become a member of the Primordial Secret Realm and received 100,000 points, ten times that of a Tai Chu Realm member. He was also informed that he must first breakthrough to become Universe-level, and the Virtual Universe Company would expend exceedingly precious resources to freely improve and strengthen the bodies of each core member.

He could advance from the first tier to the ninth tier in a short time.

He clicked to enter the vault.

"Wu, check whether there are any secret arts suitable for me; I intend to specialize in the Space‑Time Origin Law," Xiao Yu instructed.

"Very well," Wu replied, "There are far too many secret arts in this vault; even the most ordinary people outside have to scramble for them under the pressure of Immortal strongmen."

A moment later.

"Xiao Yu, I have found these books: 'Universe True Explanation', 'Space‑Time Essays', 'Black Hole Evolution', etc.," Wu said, "Among them, 'Space‑Time Essays' and 'Black Hole Evolution' are secret arts primarily based on the Spatial Origin Law."

"And 'Universe True Explanation' is a secret art that cultivates by combining the Spatial and Temporal Origin Laws."

When purchasing a secret art, it must be related to the Chaos Stele he intends to comprehend later; otherwise it is a waste of effort. Moreover, his own practiced Phantom Slash Technique is a Spatial‑Temporal fusion secret art, and combined with 'Universe True Explanation', analyzing the essence of its Space‑Time Origin Law will surely yield results with half the effort and double the effect.

Furthermore, he possesses the Eye of Law, allowing more direct observation of laws; in the primordial universe where such Origin Laws are still unstable, his comprehension speed is boosted by dozens of times.

Back when he participated in the Talent War, Xiao Yu had already planned to choose the Universe Chaos Stele; in his view, works like 'Space‑Time Essays' and 'Black Hole Evolution' can only serve as references, not primary studies, even though his soul speed has now reached five thousand times, he dares not be distracted.

Xiao Yu examined 'Universe True Explanation' carefully.

'Universe True Explanation' is divided into nine volumes.

Volume 1 of 'Universe True Explanation' costs 1,000 points.

The first two volumes cost 10,000 points.

The first three volumes cost 100,000 points.

……

The first seven volumes cost 1,000,000,000 points.

The first eight volumes cost 10,000,000,000 points.

The complete set costs 100,000,000,000 points.

And 'Universe True Explanation' is not even discounted!

Xiao Yu did not hesitate; he spent 100,000 points to purchase the first three volumes.

Soon after, Virtual Universe staff delivered three sets of books, each packed in a silver alloy box.

When Nick brought the silver alloy box back, he mentioned something: "Your Highness, core members of the Primordial Secret Realm may choose a teacher who is no higher than an Immortal Lord Marquis; the sooner the better."

"Mr. Nick, I intend to cultivate the Space‑Time Origin Law simultaneously; do you have any suitable teacher recommendations?" Xiao Yu asked.

He was a newcomer and unfamiliar with these Immortal Lord Marquis of the Virtual Universe Company, but Nick before him was certainly well‑versed.

Xiao Yu decided to consult.

"Your Highness, you truly intend to simultaneously comprehend the Space‑Time Origin Law! That is extremely difficult; even you, with your extraordinary talent, will find it challenging!" Nick, as Xiao Yu's guard commander, knew all his information.

"I have already decided," Xiao Yu nodded.

"In that case, you may send applications to Zu Shen Wang, Meng Te Wang, and Mu Jian Wang," Nick suggested, "Although all three are Immortal Lord Kings, they have occasionally served as teachers for core members of the Primordial Secret Realm over the past tens of thousands of years; however, I cannot guarantee they will agree."

Those who specialize in the Space‑Time Origin Law are either extremely powerful or extremely weak.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yu expressed sincere gratitude.

He then sent applications to the three teachers who specialize in the Space‑Time Origin Law among the many Immortal teachers.

In less than a day, Xiao Yu received messages from Zu Shen Wang and Mu Jian Wang refusing to become his teachers, each giving a reason: Mu Jian Wang is currently busy creating his own secret art, and Zu Shen Wang is temporarily in a secret realm, leaving them both with no time.

Meng Te Wang, however, has not responded at all—neither acceptance nor refusal.

Xiao Yu called Nick to strategize and find out what was happening.

"For Immortal strongmen, a cultivation may take decades; since they have not yet refused, there is still hope," Nick comforted.

……

Primeval Zone.

Within a colossal manor measuring 98 km in length and 81 km in width.

Luo Feng sat before a computer, perusing the secret manuals in the vault.

This close‑combat martial art "Shadow Phantom Body" is perfect for your Demon‑slayer clan clone.

Also this "Shadow Shield", and indeed the "Shadow Seven‑Blade Sword" is also quite good, Ba Ba Ta kept offering strategies.

Luo Feng was about to agree, but recalled that the first three times Xiao Yu mentioned before boarding the spaceship that points were extremely important, and he suggested waiting until reaching the initial universe before buying.

But the items Ba Ba Ta suggested buying are indeed very suitable for Luo Feng's Demon‑slayer clan clone.

What should I do?

Luo Feng kept hesitating.

"There's no point in hesitating; just communicate and ask him directly," Ba Ba Ta said.

The communication link connected.

Luo Feng spoke up directly: "Third Brother, how many points do members of your Primordial Secret Realm have?"

"I have 100,000 points!" Xiao Yu laughed on the big screen, "I've already used them all up."
