After successfully Fusing ten Blood River Crystals to become a Blood Warrior, Ender emerged from his World Ring and then recalled his Gu Yu Ancient Tree second branch tree.
"Fusing the tenth Blood River Crystal earlier caused quite a commotion due to the pain; I estimate someone will come to check soon."
Ender knew this was an important place. With a treasure like the God Tree, which aids in Law comprehension, any disturbance would surely attract attention.
Indeed, less than a minute after he emerged from his World Ring, a World Master came knocking. After a brief inquiry, he left.
"After becoming a Black Warrior, my Blood River Power will increase my Universe Origin compatibility by three times, and my Law comprehension speed will increase by at least three times."
As Ender activated his Blood River Power, incredibly complex and perfect blood-red secret patterns immediately appeared on the surface of his body beneath his battle armor, allowing him to clearly perceive various Law fluctuations.
"This feeling… it's truly wonderful!"
He sighed in his heart. The threefold increase in Universe Origin compatibility caused his Wood Origin Law affinity to skyrocket. As long as he wished, he could quickly elevate his Wood Origin Law to the level of obtaining the Law Recognition Imprint.
"Besides the Wood Origin Law, the talents of my human main body in the four lesser Laws—Gold, Water, Fire, and Earth—are slightly higher than my Space Origin Law talent."
Ender carefully sensed, "Perhaps after I become a World Master, I can try to comprehend these four lesser Laws to the point of obtaining the Law Recognition Imprint or even fully comprehending them. I wonder if this could enhance my affinity for the Space Origin Law."
The five Laws of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth all belong to the lesser Laws of the Space Origin Law. Many World Masters and Immortal with average talent comprehend the corresponding higher Laws through these lesser Laws.
So he wondered if comprehending all the lesser Laws belonging to Space Law would make it easier to comprehend Space Law.
"Comprehending all five lesser Laws… I can try it after I become a World Master and reach a Bottleneck."
After setting this not-so-small goal, Ender began to comprehend the Space Origin Law, striving to fully comprehend all 108 essences of Space Law.
...
Time flowed by, and in a blink of an eye, more than a year passed.
During this year, Ender comprehended the Space Origin Law by activating his Blood River Power, and he also studied the God Tree once again, successfully comprehending a profound essence of Space Law.
"Master, there's a call request from Big Brother Eric."
While he was Cultivating the Divine Tree True Solution Secret Technique in his manor in the Yu Xiang Mountain Primal Secret Realm, Little Dawn's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"I hope it's news that Thirteen successfully Possessed the Flame Star Beast."
That pleasant voice instantly roused Ender from his cultivation. He knew that his Big Brother contacting him must be about Thirteen.
"Connect!"
As Ender's words fell, a light screen unfolded before him, displaying Big Brother Eric's face with a relaxed smile.
Eric laughed heartily, "Eleven, I have good news for you."
Ender nervously asked, "Did Thirteen successfully Possess the Flame Star Beast?"
"That's right." Eric smiled and nodded, "Thirteen successfully Possessed the Flame Star Beast."
Ender's tense heart relaxed considerably, "It's good that he succeeded…"
After his worries vanished, he added, "Big Brother, show me Thirteen's current state."
"Okay."
Eric flew upwards, quickly reaching a position parallel to the dark-red Flame Star Beast's head, at a distance that allowed Ender, on the other side of the light screen, to clearly see the full view of the Flame Star Beast's ferocious head.
It was shaped like a tiger's head covered in dark-red scales, with angular ears and nose, and three spiral horns growing on its forehead and between its brows. Even through the light screen, Ender could feel a scorching, tyrannical aura.
"Brother Eleven."
The Flame Star Beast, exuding a tyrannical aura, slightly opened its mouth revealing its stark white fangs, and a hoarse, suppressed voice emerged, speaking in the standard Universal Common Language.
Looking at the Flame Star Beast calling him 'Brother Eleven,' Ender smiled and said, "Thirteen."
"Sorry, Brother Eleven." The Flame Star Beast, Thirteen, showed a hint of apology in its huge dark-red vertical pupil, saying, "I took the liberty of using the gift that Immortal Marquis Rong Dian gave you."
"Thirteen, do you know?" Ender's smile faded upon hearing this, and he said, "When I learned that you Possessed the Flame Star Beast, I was furious!"
"Sorry, Brother Eleven, I shouldn't have touched your gift…" The Flame Star Beast, Thirteen, apologized again.
"The reason for my anger is not that you touched my gift."
Ender raised his hand to interrupt Thirteen, then said in a deep voice, "It's that you took the liberty of Possessing the Flame Star Beast. Do you know how worried I was at the time?"
The auction price of a Flame Star Beast ranged from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of Mixed-yuan Units. In his opinion, this amount of money was only decent, but far less important than his younger brother Thirteen!
"I just wanted to…" The Flame Star Beast, Thirteen, slightly opened its mouth, wanting to explain.
"I know you wanted to change your talent, but at that time, you didn't understand the Flame Star Beast at all!"
Ender said in a deep voice, "Now that you've successfully Possessed it, you should understand how terrifying the Flame Star Beast is, right!"
Upon hearing this, the Flame Star Beast, Thirteen, silently nodded.
After successfully Possessing it, Thirteen finally understood how truly terrifying the Flame Star Beast was. It had three innate Secret Technique alone, each beyond his imagination!
The innate Secret Technique 'Devour' could devour flame energy to promote growth and evolution, and also quickly restore injuries by devouring energy when wounded. It was a powerful Secret Technique that combined growth and life-saving abilities.
The innate Secret Technique 'Clone' could use materials to nurture a Clone. As long as it wasn't killed by a Soul attack, it wouldn't die as long as its core remained intact. It was a life-saving Secret Technique he had never heard of.
The innate Secret Technique 'Blazing' was a simple, brutal, and terrifying Secret Technique that could instantly unleash five times the attack power. It was the trump card that many World Master Level Flame Star Beasts in the Legacy memories used to defeat Immortals.
Besides these, there were also Legacy memories, and within those Legacy memories were many super-powerful Secret Technique, especially the one that could amplify power sixteen times when cultivated to its Pinnacle! When combined with the innate Secret Technique 'Blazing,' it could unleash dozens of times the attack power!
In short, the Flame Star Beast was a very terrifying life form. When it grew to the Pinnacle of the World Master Level, it could contend with ordinary Immortals.
And the difficulty of Possessing such a terrifying life form was not low!
Thirteen, who had just completed the Possession, was very clear about the difficulties, because he almost lost in the clash of wills, and the cost of losing was a failed Possession, and a failed Possession meant death!
"If you hadn't taken the liberty of attempting the Possession, but instead told me about the Flame Star Beast, as a Core Region member of the Virtual Universe Company, I could have minimized the risk of your Possession!"
"Do you know how worried we were about you?" Ender said in a deep voice, "Big Brother stayed here to guard you, and Second Uncle kept covering for your recklessness, preventing other Family members from finding out about your near-death suicidal act!"
"Sorry, Big Brother…" The Flame Star Beast, Thirteen, said apologetically upon hearing this, "I made you worry."
"It's good that you're okay." Eric's relieved voice came from outside the light screen.
"Thirteen, remember this!" Ender warned in a deep voice, "Never lose your caution and reverence. The Universe is vast and mysterious, and while there are many Opportunities, there are also countless dangers."
"If you lose your caution and reverence, even if you pass the Pinnacle Genius Battle more than four thousand years from now and enter the Huge Axe Dojo Core Region, there's a high probability you'll fall during your growth!"
Ender continued, "So, don't do things you're not confident about, even if you gain the ability to create Clones later. Remember, Clones are not invincible!"
"Understood." The Flame Star Beast, Thirteen, nodded lightly, "I will keep your words in mind, Brother Eleven."
"Very good." Ender smiled, then asked, "Space Beasts are tyrannical and bloodthirsty, especially the devouring type of Space Beasts. Since you've Possessed a Flame Star Beast, can you suppress its innate bloodthirsty nature?"
The Flame Star Beast, Thirteen, thought for a moment and said, "The Flame Star Beast's bloodthirsty nature does affect me, but I can temporarily suppress it. However, if it exceeds two or three years, I'll need to vent."
"Hmm." Ender nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Thirteen's willpower is good, no wonder he successfully Possessed the Flame Star Beast. Even if someone with weak willpower succeeded in Possession, they would gradually lose themselves to the bloodthirsty nature."
"The Flame Star Beast has the innate Secret Technique 'Clone', which can nurture your original body. In the future, you can let the Flame Star Beast Breakthrough to the Universe Level, while your main body remains at the Stellar Rank to participate in the Pinnacle Genius Battle."
Then, Ender continued, "However, when participating in the Pinnacle Genius Battle, your Flame Star Beast Clone must not Breakthrough to the Domain Master, otherwise your results might be invalidated!"
Using a Universe Level Flame Star Beast Clone to comprehend Laws, and then having the human main body participate in the Pinnacle Genius Battle, this is probably the limit tacitly allowed by the Human Race high-level.
If a Domain Master Flame Star Beast Clone were to comprehend Laws and bully a group of Stellar Rank Geniuses, this would most likely lead to direct disqualification from the competition, because it's too unfair!
"Okay, thank you for the guidance, Brother Eleven." The Flame Star Beast, Thirteen, nodded, keeping Ender's words in mind.
Ender said, "The Flame Star Beast grows by devouring flame energy. If it only devours volcanoes or stars, it would need to devour a lot to reach its Pinnacle. However, our Human Territory has many substitutes for flame energy."
"I will give Sixth Uncle a list, and he will help you purchase the energy resources on that list. The energy resources on that list will be enough for your Flame Star Beast Clone to Breakthrough to the Universe Level."
"Thirteen, I'll be blunt: a Flame Star Beast worth thousands or tens of thousands of Mixed-yuan Units isn't that easy to get!"
Ender said in a deep voice, "The Family will only provide you with energy resources up to the Universe Level. If you want more resources, you'll have to strive for them yourself!"
"Whether you enter the Huge Axe Dojo Core Region or fall into the Ganwu Secret Realm of the Ganwu Universe Country in the Pinnacle Genius Battle four thousand years from now, depends on your own fortune."
Finally, Ender encouraged, "Don't waste the Flame Star Beast you risked your life to Possess."
"Brother Eleven, I will enter the Huge Axe Dojo Core Region!" The Flame Star Beast, Thirteen, said firmly.
"Big Brother." Ender then said.
Big Brother Eric's face appeared on the light screen, "Eleven, speak."
Ender said, "For now, you two should Cultivate in the Molten Rock Secret Realm. Once I Breakthrough to the Domain Master and return, I'll find a teacher for you who specializes in Fire and Space Laws, to help you achieve good results in the next Pinnacle Genius Battle."
Both Big Brother and his son Awakened Fire-attribute Gene Energy, and Thirteen originally Awakened Earth-attribute Gene Energy, but after Possessing the Flame Star Beast, his Fire Origin Law talent was clearly higher. It would be perfect for the three of them to find a teacher skilled in Fire and Space Laws.
Eric said, "Thank you, Eleven."
"It's what I should do." Ender smiled, "If all of you enter the Huge Axe Dojo Core Region, I'll have an easier time in the future."
"We will work towards that goal." Eric nodded.
Then, Ender chatted with the two for a while longer before ending the video call.
"Hoo—!"
After hanging up the video call, Ender let out a long sigh of relief. Thirteen's successful Possession of the Flame Star Beast made him feel much better.
"Next, I must fully dedicate myself to comprehending Space Law. Once I've comprehended all 108 essences of Space Law, I'll focus my energy on Cultivating the amplification Secret Technique 'Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body' and the Soul Secret Technique 'Eye of Distortion.'"
By passing the Tongtian Bridge eleventh level, Ender gained over 200,000 points, which allowed him to easily exchange for the first three volumes of "Eye of Distortion" at a 30% discount, costing 63,000 points.
In the Virtual Universe, when challenging the Tongtian Bridge and Sky Mountain, everyone's physical qualities are the same, so it tests the challenger's Law comprehension, Secret Technique, movement techniques, amplification, and Soul will.
Challenging the Tongtian Bridge is fine; most Tongtian Bridge challenges, while testing Law comprehension, Secret Technique, movement techniques, and amplification, primarily test Law comprehension, with the others being secondary.
Sky Mountain is different. Sky Mountain is divided into three stages from difficult to easy: the mountain peak, the mountainside, and the foot of the mountain. Each stage requires facing three guardians: the Bullman representing Warriors, the Apeman representing Controllers, and the Snake Woman representing Illusionists.
Facing opponents from three major factions simultaneously means that to pass the Primal Sky Mountain, the challenger needs to be strong in all aspects. If even one aspect is too weak, the challenger will return empty-handed.
Ender's other Secret Technique were not weak, except for his Soul Secret Technique, which is why he wanted to exchange for the first three volumes of "Eye of Distortion."
In fact, his Soul Secret Technique was not weak. Having cultivated the second layer of "Eye of Distortion" to Major Achievement, combined with his Pinnacle World Master Level will, he could withstand the Snake Woman's illusion attacks at the mountain peak without much trouble.
However, he felt that the Major Achievement of the second layer of "Eye of Distortion" was not entirely safe, and it wouldn't hurt to spend more time cultivating the third layer.
The main reason was that Ender wanted to pass the Primal Sky Mountain in one go, rather than failing the first time and having to try a second time.
Because he wanted to tell everyone that he, Ender, was not inferior to Kedi, and even surpassed Kedi in talent!
"One hundred years. In another one hundred years, I will challenge the Universe-level Primal Sky Mountain."
Sitting on the sofa in the manor's study, Ender looked at the email Kedi sent after the Secret Realm Battle displayed on the light screen, and said, "By the time you emerge from the Impossible Level Cultivation mission world, I will have passed the Universe Primal Sky Mountain and Breakthrough to the Domain Master."
"Furthermore, I will continue to lead, whether it's the Domain Master Level Primal Sky Mountain or the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain!"
Although Ender and Kedi had a good relationship, as peerless Geniuses who appeared once in millions of epochs, and both Personal Disciples of a Universe Master, how could he be willing to be suppressed!
He then continued to Cultivate, and time rapidly flowed by during his Cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty years had passed...
