From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

This was a very tranquil area. Despite being in the heart of the Star Moon Race’s territory, there was hardly anyone in sight.

The serene atmosphere instantly calmed the hearts of those who came here.

’So this is where the Star Moon Race geniuses cultivate in seclusion after they leave the land of inheritance?’

Li Yang looked around and thought to himself.

”Li Yang, you can stay here to cultivate and slowly digest your gains from the land of inheritance,” Elder Lie Shu said with a smile.

Since things had come to this, they were determined to truly befriend Li Yang. That meant going all out and making sure he was well taken care of.

They would even wait with him if he decided to stay here indefinitely.

Hearing Elder Lie Shu’s words, Li Yang smiled and said, ”Alright.”

He casually glanced around.

”Hm?”

As he glanced around, Li Yang noticed a spot with some information carved into it.

It was a Sword Mark. In addition, he was able to perceive some information from it.

”I am Ciluo. I spent a year in the clan’s land of inheritance and benefited greatly, so I have left behind some of my insights.”

Li Yang continued to observe. Everyone who could enter the land of inheritance was the strongest genius of the Star Moon Race from a particular era. According to Elder Lie Shu, many of them were already at the World Realm, and their comprehension of the Laws far surpassed his own.

’Comprehension of the Fire Armor Body’s profundities?’

As Li Yang read on, his eyes lit up.

Combining this with the undigested insights in his mind, he felt a clear resonance with the Fire Armor Body profundity of his Fire Element Law.

Every genius thinks differently. The Laws may be the same, but each person’s comprehension and interpretation of them will inevitably vary.

It was like having the complete answer to a difficult problem poured into your mind. No single genius could grasp it all, but each would understand a different part.

Those geniuses had recorded the parts they understood. Some of these might have been aspects Li Yang hadn’t yet considered, so comparing them naturally sparked new insights for him.

”Hei Xu, Elder Lie Shu, I’m going to start meditating on these insights.”

Wasting no time, Li Yang spoke briefly before immediately sitting down cross-legged. He fixed his gaze on the Sword Mark, sensing the fluctuations within it.

Seeing Li Yang enter a meditative state in mere seconds, Elder Lie Shu smiled and sent a voice transmission to Hei Xu. ”Mr. Hei Xu, Young Master Li Yang’s Talent is truly astounding. He can gain enlightenment from a single, random Sword Mark.”

Inwardly, however, he was astonished.

That Sword Mark had been left by a World Realm expert of their race. To be able to gain insight from it meant that Li Yang’s comprehension of that Law’s profundities must have already reached an extremely deep level.

At these words, Hei Xu smiled and replied via voice transmission, ”Since Li Yang has begun his meditation, Elder Lie Shu, let’s wait for him nearby.”

”Of course,” Elder Lie Shu replied with a smile.

The two waited outside the tranquil area, while Li Yang himself was clearly exhilarated.

’This carving resonates with me.’

’That one, too.’

The geniuses who had left their insights here might have had Law comprehensions far inferior to Li Yang’s. However, when the insights of so many geniuses were combined, Li Yang still gained a great deal. The undigested portions of his own enlightenment were continuously being processed!

Just like that, another year passed in the blink of an eye.

...

Li Yang stood silently before an inscription on a stone wall, his right hand moving through the air.

After a long moment, Li Yang retracted his gaze and looked out over the area before him.

’A year has passed. I’ve seen all the inscriptions.’

A smile touched Li Yang’s lips. ’I’ve also just about digested the insights from my three years in the land of inheritance.’

Li Yang was overjoyed. ’And I’ve finally grasped the last step of the teleportation profundity for the Space Law!’

Although the life level of Li Yang’s Spatial Flood Dragon avatar couldn’t compare to his Time Divine Tree avatar, it had been nurtured much earlier. As a result, he had now reached the final step in one of the Space Law’s profundities, while his Time Law was still a little behind.

All in all, Li Yang could now choose to master a profundity of either his Fire Element Law or Space Law whenever he wished, allowing him to break through to the World Realm instantly!

As for the Time Law and Thunder Law, he was still a little ways off. His comprehension of their corresponding profundities was over ninety percent complete, with only the last ten percent remaining.

He clenched his right fist slightly and sensed a terrifying power within! This power was immeasurably greater than when he had first arrived in the territory of the Star Moon Race!

’In four years, my strength has increased at least tenfold!’

Li Yang was elated. ’With my current power, if I use the Destruction Spear Skill, I doubt even experts at the Peak of World Realm could do anything to me.’

In such a short time, Li Yang’s strength had once again undergone a heaven-and-earth-shattering transformation.

Peak of World Realm—only a single step away from the Divine Realm. Li Yang’s true strength had now completely reached the Peak of World Realm!

All things considered, how long had Li Yang even been cultivating? He was only seventy years old, with no more than fifty of those years spent in cultivation.

To possess the strength of the Peak of World Realm in just fifty years!

’It’s time to leave.’

Without further delay, Li Yang walked out.

Seeing Li Yang emerge, Hei Xu and Elder Lie Shu immediately approached him.

”Young Master Li Yang, have you finished your secluded cultivation?” Elder Lie Shu asked with a smile.

He was rather surprised. The geniuses of his race would typically spend at least two days in secluded cultivation, with some even staying for over a decade. Yet, Li Yang had emerged in just one year.

”Yes, I’m finished,” Li Yang replied with a slight smile.

The benefits he had gained from this one year of secluded cultivation were unimaginable.

”I must have troubled you, Elder Lie Shu, making you wait all this time,” Li Yang said.

Three years in the land of inheritance and one year in this secluded cultivation ground—all this time, Elder Lie Shu, a Deity who had mastered the Three-Element Laws, had waited for him.

”Haha, it was no trouble at all,” Elder Lie Shu laughed upon hearing his words.

”I’ve troubled you for so long, and now it’s time for me to leave.”

This time, Elder Lie Shu didn’t try to make him stay. Instead, he simply accompanied Li Yang as he walked out.

...

”Elder Lie Shu, thank you for everything during this period.”

As they walked out of the secluded cultivation ground, Li Yang said, ”I will also keep the matter of your Star Moon Race in mind.”

The previous visit to the land of inheritance, the one hundred million contribution points, the high-grade Divine Artifact, and so on—none of that had been specifically given to him by the Star Moon Race.

However, the invitation to this secluded cultivation ground was clearly a gesture of goodwill from the Star Moon Race, a proactive attempt to befriend him.

Regardless of the Star Moon Race’s motives, since they were willing to invest in him and offer him benefits, he, Li Yang, was not the type of person to receive a favor and immediately forget it. He would definitely remember this kindness.

”Haha, it was a small matter.”

Hearing Li Yang’s words, Elder Lie Shu’s face was wreathed in smiles.

The whole reason the Star Moon Race was willing to grant Li Yang these benefits was precisely so he would accept this favor, wasn’t it?

While Li Yang was still weak, this favor didn’t count for much. But in the future, when he became powerful, its value would be immense!

The potential Li Yang was currently displaying suggested he could very well become a high-ranking member of the Human Race.
