From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

With Li Yang’s level of Talent, and the fact that he hadn’t been recruited by the Yangyuan Empire, it was perfectly normal for a powerful Deity to want him as a disciple.

And if a powerful Deity wanted to take him as a disciple, Li Yang would definitely have to attend lectures at these experts’ residences before making a final decision.

After all, if the Flame Wave Sect Master was planning to take Li Yang as his disciple, Li Yang couldn’t just skip all his lectures and run off to another powerful Deity’s class.

Such behavior would undoubtedly displease the Flame Wave Sect Master, who might immediately rescind his offer.

Therefore, the current situation was easy to deduce.

The palace doors opened, and a group of geniuses walked inside. Li Yang followed them in.

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw a massive plaza. On the plaza were rows of seats, several thousand in total.

These were all prepared for the geniuses attending the lecture.

The geniuses took their seats one by one, and Li Yang also chose a spot.

Soon, the Flame Wave Sect Master arrived.

The Flame Wave Sect Master was a man with completely red skin and red secret patterns on his face.

The Flame Wave Sect Master walked in and glanced down at the crowd, his gaze seeming to linger on Li Yang for a moment.

’Li Yang came to my lecture?’

Looking at Li Yang, a smile touched the corners of the Flame Wave Sect Master’s lips.

’Lie Yuan and the others also want to take Li Yang as a disciple. Since he came to me first, there’s a high chance he’ll choose me.’

He knew that Lie Yuan and the other three had also sent messages to Li Yang.

Previously, the five of them had even met to discuss who Li Yang might choose.

Having been here for a long time, the relationships between these powerful Deities were quite good, with very few exceptions. They often exchanged insights on their comprehension of the Laws.

It was a no-brainer. For a genius as talented as Li Yang who didn’t have a master, it would be strange if no one was fighting over him.

’Li Yang will most likely choose me as his master. My strength has had another breakthrough recently. When Blade Slaughter gets back, I’m going to challenge him to a proper fight. He defeated me last time, but this time, I’ll get my revenge.’

At this moment, the Flame Wave Sect Master was clearly in a very good mood.

He walked to his seat, looked at the many expectant geniuses below, and began, ”Today, I will explain the Teleportation Profound Mystery of the Space Law...”

He started speaking immediately, and with a wave of his right hand, a peculiar secret pattern of the Law materialized before the crowd.

The Teleportation Profound Mystery, from its beginning to a later part, seemed to evolve completely and clearly.

Li Yang focused on comprehending it, a look of pleasant surprise appearing in his eyes.

’So that’s how it works.’

’My previous understanding of the Teleportation Profound Mystery had a slight deviation. This is the most accurate way.’

Li Yang was thrilled.

After all, he had never been taught by a master before; all his Law comprehensions were his own. It was like a road with numerous winding paths.

The straight path was certainly the shortest and most accurate way to comprehend the Laws.

But without guidance, one might stray onto a side path while comprehending the Laws, spending a considerable amount of time just to get back onto the main road.

Although the general direction was correct, taking the side paths was undoubtedly a waste of time.

This was exactly how Li Yang felt now. The Flame Wave Sect Master’s explanation of the Teleportation Profound Mystery of the Space Law had guided him from a side path back to the main road.

The lecture lasted for seven days.

”Alright, that’s all for today’s lecture,” the Flame Wave Sect Master said. He glanced at Li Yang, whose face was filled with joy, and what looked like a smile touched his lips before he left directly.

”Haha, the Flame Wave Sect Master’s lecture on the Teleportation Profound Mystery of the Space Law was so effective! I feel like my comprehension has improved a lot.”

”I agree. Even though he’s lectured on it several times, I get something new out of it every time.”

Excited chatter came from the surrounding crowd.

Li Yang was also incredibly excited as he walked out of the palace.

’I need to digest this. Tomorrow, Sect Master Lie Yuan will be lecturing on the Explosion Profound Mystery of the Thunder Law. I’ll go listen to that tomorrow.’

Li Yang had now experienced the benefits of having these powerful Deities explain the Laws, and he felt a little impatient with anticipation.

Then, on the second day, Li Yang attended Sect Master Lie Yuan’s lecture and once again gained a great deal.

After that, Li Yang went to attend the lectures of the other masters. In total, he made the rounds to all five of them.

”There are actually five powerful Deities who want to take Li Yang as a disciple this time.”

”Who will Li Yang choose as his master?”

As news of Li Yang attending one lecture after another spread, and after analyzing all the available information, the other geniuses figured out which masters wanted to take Li Yang as a disciple.

Many geniuses were very envious. Their rankings were lower, so no powerful Deities were actively seeking them out as disciples.

Even if they chose to join a sect, they would only be the most ordinary disciples.

...

Time flew by, and Li Yang began his cultivation journey in the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall!

He constantly comprehended the Laws, like someone starved for knowledge who was now feasting on it. If anyone were to witness his rate of progress, they would be absolutely astonished!

Before, with no master to guide him, Li Yang had relied solely on himself to reach the level of a top-tier genius of the Human Race in just five years. If not for the two monstrously talented individuals, Lan Yu and Mixed Void, his strength would have been enough to contend for first place.

But now, he had access to numerous Law secret manuals from Emperors, dissected Laws specially imprinted into the void by the top experts of the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall, and lectures from powerful Deities who were close to the Emperor realm...

Li Yang’s cultivation environment had undergone a world-shaking transformation!

His rate of progress had undoubtedly taken a huge leap compared to before!

And as time passed, in addition to his Law comprehension, Li Yang’s own power was also constantly improving.

Mid-Longevity Realm... Late Longevity Realm... Peak of Longevity Realm!

After more than half a year, his power finally reached the Peak of Longevity Realm!

’I finally reached it!’

A smile played on Li Yang’s lips. Having reached this realm, his power had obviously increased significantly.

’My current strength should be enough to defeat someone at the Mid-Star Lord Realm, right?’

Back in the Early Longevity Realm, Li Yang’s power was already a match for an early Star Lord!

And now that he had reached the Peak of Longevity Realm, plus with more than half a year of cultivation, his strength was definitely enough to defeat someone at the Mid-Star Lord Realm!

’Huh? My Fire Nether Divine Beast clone has finished incubating?’ Just as his power reached the Peak of Longevity Realm, a look of excitement suddenly flashed in Li Yang’s eyes.

A year had passed unknowingly since the World Tree began incubating the Fire Nether Divine Beast. And now, Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast clone had finally taken shape and was about to emerge!

「Earth」

The branches and leaves of a white tree swayed gently. Then, a gap appeared on one of the white tree’s branches, and a creature only the size of a palm emerged from it.

The creature’s form looked somewhat humanoid, but its body was densely covered in red secret patterns. As a whole, it looked like a dazzling flame burning brightly!
