From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

The Key of Laws can force a breakthrough to the Law Realm, but breaking through with your own cultivation is always best.

If you truly can’t break through on your own, you can always use it then. It won’t be too late.

With plenty of time, Li Yang’s parents, Li Guohai and Zhao Rou, his sister Li Xue, and the others all planned to try cultivating on their own first, to see if they could break through to the Law Realm.

”Okay, use them as you see fit,” Li Yang nodded.

Zhou Yao hugged Li Yang gently, resting her head on his chest. ”Li Yang,” she said, ”when you’re taking a break from your cultivation, you have to enter the Virtual World and come see us.”

Her eyes were filled with reluctance.

This time, Li Yang was heading to the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, and there was no telling how long it would be before he could return.

”Don’t worry, I’ll come back often,” Li Yang said softly.

To him, cultivation was not only about getting stronger, but also about protecting his family.

Every expert has something they want to protect, and for him, his family was everything.

”Yangyang.” Not far away, Li Guohai, Zhao Rou, and the others all walked over, reluctance in their eyes as they looked at Li Yang, each saying their goodbyes.

Li Yang bid farewell to each of his family members in turn.

”Hm?”

His gaze suddenly shifted to the distance.

WHOOSH!

In the distance, a massive spaceship burst out of a spatial wormhole and approached his position.

From the spaceship, a tall, thin man with black runic patterns on his face flew out.

This man didn’t seem to have an imposing aura, but if one sensed carefully, they would feel as if the man was a part of the void itself.

Divine Realm!

This time, the one sent by the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall to escort Li Yang was a Deity with eternal life!

”Li Yang, are you ready?” the tall, thin man asked with a slight smile.

He and Li Yang had already been in contact.

Li Yang nodded, then looked back at his family. ”Dad, Mom, Zhou Yao... I’m leaving.”

Besides his family, many other people were there, all to see him off, just like when Shen Xuan had left the day before.

Shen Xuan left yesterday, and today, he too would depart.

Neither of them knew when they would be able to return.

”Daddy...” Xiaolidong was holding onto Zhou Yao’s hand, tears welling in his eyes.

”Xiaodong, be good and listen to your mother and your grandparents.”

Li Yang said, looking at his son. He took one last look at his family, then finally turned around.

WHOOSH!

The spaceship started up and quickly departed.

Li Guohai, Zhao Rou, Zhou Yao, and the others stood there for a very, very long time.

On this day, Li Yang left Earth.

And when he returned, what level would his power have reached?

...

”Li Yang, it will take us two months to reach the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall. You can use these two months to cultivate,” the tall, thin man with black runic patterns on his face said to Li Yang with a slight smile.

His name was Rote, and his strength was that of an ordinary Divine Realm expert.

Li Yang nodded, but his consciousness was communicating with Soul Ink.

’Soul Ink, won’t you be discovered if you go to the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall?’

The Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall was definitely a place teeming with experts!

It was possible that even Emperor Level experts weren’t the strongest there.

After all, the Human Race’s Three Thousand Star Continents each had Emperor Level experts. However, the collective strength of the Star Continents was far from matching the Eternal Saint Hall.

The fact that all the top geniuses had entered the Eternal Saint Hall without a single complaint from the Star Continent Emperors was proof enough.

All of this showed the power of the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall.

He had previously planned to leave the Soul Crystal on Earth with his octopus avatar and others, but Soul Ink had refused without hesitation.

”I won’t. As long as I stay inside the Soul Crystal and don’t come out, it’s impossible for me to be discovered,” Soul Ink said coolly.

His eyes were full of confidence as he said, ”Li Yang, this Soul Crystal is my most heaven-defying masterpiece. Back in my day, you have no idea how many top-tier experts wanted to trade for even a sliver of my Soul Crystal.”

”While staying inside the Soul Crystal, I am, for all intents and purposes, already dead to this world.”

Li Yang nodded. Though he didn’t quite understand, seeing Soul Ink’s confidence, he didn’t say anything more.

’Time to cultivate!’

With a thought, his consciousness entered the Virtual World.

He was about to enter the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall and compete against those truly peerless geniuses. Li Yang’s heart was filled with anticipation.

Especially Lan Yu and Mixed Void.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Upon entering the combat space, Li Yang quickly engaged in battle with a virtual opponent.

In the midst of this combat, two months flew by in the blink of an eye.

Finally, the spaceship arrived at a massive plaza.

Above the plaza, streaks of light flashed intermittently. Within these lights, one could sense strange, profound runic patterns.

’Have we reached the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall?’ Li Yang wondered.

He looked around and saw other geniuses in the plaza.

Almost all of them were sitting cross-legged on the ground, gazing at the runic patterns in the void.

”It’s Li Yang, one of the top ten!”

”In terms of age, Dilunxi is the youngest and Li Yang is the second youngest. Their cultivation time is incredibly short.”

”Of the top fourteen from the Eternal Saint Hall’s selection this time, thirteen are here now, including Li Yang. Only one person is missing.”

”Hmph! So what if they’re in the top fourteen? In the past four months, my strength has had a major breakthrough. If I had this power four months ago, I would have been invincible in the Longevity Realm! The gap between me and people like Li Yang must be small now. Give me a little more time, and I’ll definitely surpass them.”

The geniuses turned their gazes toward Li Yang.

It was like when Li Yang had been practicing the third form of the Hexagram Spear and finally mastered it at the last moment, causing his strength to skyrocket and making him invincible in the Longevity Realm.

And the many geniuses present were essentially the top prodigies of their respective Star Continents. Their backgrounds were extraordinary, and many of their Cultivation Techniques were on par with Li Yang’s Hexagram Spear.

In the past four months, many of them had also made breakthroughs similar to Li Yang mastering the third form of the Hexagram Spear. Naturally, their power had also skyrocketed, giving them the strength to be invincible in the Longevity Realm!

Of all the geniuses, only Mixed Void didn’t look over, continuing to observe the strange runic patterns in the void.

Lan Yu, however, glanced at Li Yang before looking away again.

Of course he remembered Li Yang. In the deathmatch space, Long Zhan and four others had ganged up on him, and Li Yang had been one of them.

However, in his eyes, Li Yang’s strength wasn’t worth mentioning; he had killed him in an instant.

”Li Yang?”

In a corner of the plaza, the youngest of them all, Dilunxi, looked over. He watched Li Yang and listened to the discussions around him.

’He’s only a little older than me?’

A trace of disdain flashed in Dilunxi’s eyes. ’When I enter the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall this time, I will let everyone know that my current ranking is only because my cultivation time has been too short.’

’That Li Yang... he isn’t even qualified to be compared to me. Not just Li Yang; even Lan Yu and Mixed Void will be surpassed by me, one by one.’

In his view, the only reason he was behind others was that they had simply cultivated for a little longer.
