From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

’Mastering three Laws, is it?’ Li Yang thought to himself, feeling confident.

”Young Master Li Yang, my apologies for making you wait.”

Lie Xiang approached, his face all smiles. Behind him followed a Deity holding a jinmu box.

”Not at all,” Li Yang said with a smile, though his gaze was fixed on the box.

”Haha, Li Yang, inside this box is the treasure of my Fire Nether Divine Beast clan, the Fire Spirit Pearl.”

Lie Xiang didn’t waste any time. He opened the box, and a red pearl appeared before Li Yang.

The pearl was only about ten centimeters in diameter, but the moment the box was opened, the surrounding temperature seemed to rise significantly.

Looking closely, one could see mystical patterns flickering continuously across the pearl’s surface.

”This Fire Spirit Pearl was jointly created by two of our clan’s Supreme Elders. We now present it to you, Young Master Li Yang,” Lie Xiang said with a smile, handing the box containing the Fire Spirit Pearl to Li Yang.

Supreme Elders—these were the Emperor Level powerhouses of the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan!

Even though they found it difficult to master other Laws, after countless eons, the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan had still managed to produce beings at the Emperor Level.

However, the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan had fewer than ten such powerhouses in total.

Of course, this was only the publicly known information; they might have more hidden away.

But even with their hidden experts, the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan likely had no more than twenty Emperor Level powerhouses.

”The Fire Spirit Pearl.”

Watching Elder Lie Xiang hand over the wooden box, Li Yang accepted it with a smile. His expression turned serious as he said, ”Thank you, Elder Lie Xiang. I will remember the favor the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan has shown me by gifting me this Fire Spirit Pearl.”

This was exactly why he had come in person—a favor had to be established.

Otherwise, why would the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan give him something as precious as the Fire Spirit Pearl?

”Haha, if it can help your cultivation, Young Master Li Yang, then this Fire Spirit Pearl is being put to its best use,” Elder Lie Xiang laughed heartily.

He was clearly very pleased with Li Yang’s solemn words.

He had given the Fire Spirit Pearl precisely to hear this promise from Li Yang.

Those who comprehend the Heaven and Earth Laws are very particular about their words. The more powerful one becomes, the more one values their promises.

Since Li Yang had spoken so solemnly, it meant that in the future, if they were in need, Li Yang would definitely repay this favor.

If Li Yang only grew to become a Deity, this favor wouldn’t be worth much. But if Li Yang reached the Emperor Level, this favor would become incredibly valuable.

And if Li Yang reached an even higher level of power, the value of this favor would be unimaginable!

After exchanging a few more words, Li Yang prepared to leave.

”Elder Lie Xiang, we’ll be taking our leave now. We will visit again when we have time.” With the Fire Spirit Pearl in hand, Li Yang was naturally anxious to start cultivating and couldn’t afford to waste time with the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan, so he spoke directly.

”Haha, let me see you off, Young Master Li Yang,” Elder Lie Xiang said with a laugh.

He escorted Li Yang and Kui Stone for a short distance, after which Chenlie led them to the membrane-like entrance they had used before.

”Young Master Li Yang, you are welcome to visit our Fire Nether Divine Beast world again anytime,” Chenlie said with a broad smile at the membrane entrance.

”Alright,” Li Yang nodded.

Then, he and Kui Stone boarded their aircraft and flew directly into the Space Teleportation Array.

In just a short time, their trip to the Fire Nether Divine Beast clan was over.

...

”The Fire Spirit Pearl.”

Inside the aircraft, Li Yang gazed at the Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand, a hint of anticipation on his face.

’I wonder how effective this Fire Spirit Pearl will be!’

The Blade Slaughter Sect Master had said before that the Fire Spirit Pearl would definitely be beneficial to him.

He sent a sliver of his consciousness directly into it.

’The four complete profundities of the Fire Element Law?’

Inside the Fire Spirit Pearl, he could clearly sense four distinct regions, each corresponding to one of the four great profundities of the Fire Element Law.

After comprehending it for just a moment, a look of excitement appeared in Li Yang’s eyes.

’The profundities of these Laws are undeniably much clearer than what my Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar has comprehended!’

As long as Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar matured normally, it would naturally comprehend the four great profundities of the Fire Element.

If comprehending the Laws was like taking an exam, then Li Yang’s Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar was equivalent to having the answer key.

Of course, just having the answers wasn’t enough; one had to fully understand them and know why they were the correct answers.

Normally, the Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar was diligently analyzing these answers.

And now, the Fire Element Law that Li Yang perceived within the Fire Spirit Pearl was like a much more detailed answer key.

With more detailed answers, it was naturally easier for Li Yang to understand.

One could imagine that his progress in the Fire Element Law would now be much faster.

’Incredible. If an ordinary person obtained this Fire Spirit Pearl, I wonder how effective it would be?’

The feeling the Fire Spirit Pearl gave him was similar to how his Fire Nether Divine Beast comprehended the Fire Element Law, only stronger. If an ordinary person could also obtain a Fire Spirit Pearl, would they find it just as effortless to comprehend the Fire Element Law?

Li Yang thought of his family.

’If I finish comprehending it and then give it to my family, could they also quickly master the Fire Element Law?’

”Junior Brother Li Yang, how does it feel?” Kui Stone asked with a smile from the side.

”The effect is excellent,” Li Yang replied with a smile.

He thought for a moment and voiced the question on his mind to Kui Stone.

Hearing Li Yang’s question, Kui Stone laughed and said, ”Junior Brother Li Yang, although the Fire Spirit Pearl is very powerful, it’s only highly effective for those with a strong Talent for the Fire Element Law. Without it, one wouldn’t be able to sense the fluctuations of the Law’s profundities inside at all.”

This answer immediately dispelled the idea in Li Yang’s mind.

”Also, the effects of the Fire Spirit Pearl are best on the first use. If someone else uses it after the first person is done, the effect is greatly diminished.”

”Oh?”

Hearing this, Li Yang’s interest was piqued.

”Haha, the Fire Spirit Pearl is man-made and has a limited number of uses. If it didn’t, with one being produced every hundred million years or so, who knows how many would exist by now? It wouldn’t be so rare,” Kui Stone chuckled.

Currently, the Fire Spirit Pearl couldn’t even be exchanged for in the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall. After being used a few times, a Fire Spirit Pearl would lose its effect completely.

That’s why, even after countless eons, the Fire Spirit Pearl remains an extremely scarce treasure.

”However, Junior Brother Li Yang, after you use it once, even if the effect is greatly reduced, you can still choose to trade it to the Saint Hall. The purchase price is three million contribution points,” Kui Stone added.

”Three million contribution points?” Li Yang was shocked.

From passing the seven steps of the Path of Deities and other various means, he had only accumulated a total of just over three hundred thousand contribution points.

The resource he had always wanted to exchange for, which could force a breakthrough to the Longevity Realm, cost five hundred thousand contribution points for one portion in the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall.

After he finished his comprehension, the second-hand Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand could be sold for three million contribution points. In other words, he could exchange it for six portions of the resource to forcibly break through to the Longevity Realm.

(Thanks for the 1500-point tip, the 500-point tip, and the two 100-point tips. Thank you.)
