The reason the Tideblade King and Grandor finally agreed was because Luo Fan directly took out the Azure Sea Blade and the Shadow Membrane.
One had to know that these two were both high-grade supreme treasures.
Moreover, because they were system rewards,
even among high-grade supreme treasures, they were considered top-tier.
After seeing these two supreme treasures, both the Tideblade King and Grandor were utterly shocked.
After all, these were high-grade supreme treasures.
Some poorer Universe Masters only possessed treasures of this level.
Yet Luo Fan actually had two of them.
Fortunately, Luo Fan did not take out the Nether Soul Mirror.
Otherwise, these two might have been scared half to death on the spot.
After all, the Nether Soul Mirror was a top-tier supreme treasure.
And it was a soul-type supreme treasure at that.
Likewise a system-produced item, even among top-tier soul supreme treasures, the Nether Soul Mirror was considered an absolute pinnacle.
If the Nether Soul Mirror were exchanged for peak supreme treasure weapons, it could be traded for at least two of them.
It could be said that in the Primal Universe, many Universe Masters were not as wealthy as Luo Fan.
After displaying a bit of his assets, the Tideblade King and Grandor finally agreed to accept the two heavy treasures.
Luo Fan tried to establish a task.
However, it failed.
He guessed that it might be because these two heavy treasures were originally system rewards.
Or perhaps it was because these two characters were not particularly important within Swallowed Star.
Luo Fan also noticed something else.
For tasks involving gifting items,
giving treasures to Luo Feng yielded the greatest rewards.
When giving to others, the rewards were much smaller.
Especially for characters who did not even have names in the original work.
For example, the Tideblade King and Grandor.
When Luo Fan was still weak, gifting them Life Origin Fruits could still generate rewards.
Now that Luo Fan's strength had surpassed theirs, even giving out heavy treasures could no longer establish a task.
He also formed some conjectures about the system's tasks.
In the past, tasks had been so easy to establish likely because he was still in the beginner phase.
As he gradually grew stronger, the difficulty of establishing tasks had increased significantly.
However, the task rewards were also becoming better and better.
After giving the two heavy treasures to his two teachers, Luo Fan prepared to return to the Human Race territory with them.
After all, his purpose for coming to the Extraterritorial Battlefield had basically been achieved.
Thus, he directly applied for retirement in the Virtual Universe.
As for his military merit quota, he had long since exceeded it.
And not just slightly, but by several million times over.
Because Luo Fan's speed was relatively fast, the Tideblade King and Grandor also rode Luo Fan's spaceship back together.
Their destination this time was Chaos City.
…
Very soon, a few days passed.
The three of them finally returned to Chaos City.
However, Luo Fan did not plan to stay in Chaos City for long.
After all, Chaos City no longer had much value to him now.
In fact, because the time flow rate of the Initial Universe was even slower than that of the Primal Universe,
it instead hindered his speed of comprehending laws.
Now, whenever he comprehended laws, he used the Space-Time Realm.
The effect far surpassed that of the Chaos Stele.
Moreover, it could also be used inside the Zhouji Tower, stacking the Zhouji Tower's hundredfold time acceleration. (TL/N: Reminder, Zhouji Tower is also called Cosmic Zenith Tower.)
In just a bit more time, Luo Fan would be able to grasp the final profound mystery of the Space Origin Law: Space Locking.
After sending his two teachers to Chaos City, he went straight to the residence of the Ice Peak Lord.
Since he had come to Chaos City, it was only natural to visit the Ice Peak Lord.
After arriving at the familiar place, someone quickly led Luo Fan before the Ice Peak Lord.
"Greetings, Teacher!"
Luo Fan respectfully bowed.
The Ice Peak Lord nodded, waved his hand, and lifted Luo Fan up.
"You've made great progress during this period."
"You've already perfected your secret arts to the peak Immortal-level secret art tier."
"When do you plan to break through to Immortality?"
Although the Ice Peak Lord appeared cold on the surface,
he was extremely concerned about each of his disciples.
He rarely accepted disciples.
Once he did, he would guide them with great care.
When Luo Fan fought against the opponents he set up, the Ice Peak Lord would occasionally watch from the side.
Moreover, he often gave guidance to help Luo Fan perfect his secret arts.
Luo Fan's ability to so quickly perfect Whale Fin Slash to the Immortal-level peak secret art tier was inseparable from the Ice Peak Lord's help.
Hearing his teacher's question, Luo Fan answered honestly.
"Teacher, I still haven't used up all my clone slots."
"So I plan to wait until I finish nurturing my third clone before breaking through to Immortality."
At present, Luo Fan still had two remaining clone slots.
However, because the clone technique was a system reward,
he could nurture clones at any time.
Even after breaking through to Immortality, he could still nurture them.
That said, he planned to take advantage of still being at the World Master stage to comprehend the Time Origin Law to the level of law recognition.
Why did the Human Race have several thousand Venerables, yet fewer than twenty Universe Masters?
It was because the conflict between the Space Origin Law and the Time Origin Law was extremely intense.
Especially after breaking through to Immortality.
Once one broke through to Immortality, one could no longer communicate with the Universe Origin Source like during the World Master stage to boost law comprehension efficiency.
Unless the law being comprehended had already reached the level of law recognition.
Otherwise, an Immortal's efficiency in comprehending origin laws was very likely inferior to that of a World Master.
The same applied to Venerables.
Moreover, the Space Origin Law and the Time Origin Law were both supreme laws.
After fully comprehending one supreme law, the difficulty of comprehending the other supreme law would increase exponentially.
If one could comprehend both supreme laws to the level of law recognition, one would gain a tremendous advantage during the Venerable stage.
For example, if Luo Fan fully comprehended the Space Origin Law and broke through to Venerable,
without Time Origin Law recognition, his comprehension speed would still be extremely slow.
But if he obtained Time Origin Law recognition, although the difficulty would still be high,
because he could communicate with the Universe Origin Source, his comprehension efficiency would increase significantly, and the clarity of the laws would also improve.
This was also why the Universe Chaos Stele, which involved both the Time and Space Origin Laws, was known as the best Chaos Stele.
If one was talented enough and walked the path of the Universe Chaos Stele, the early stages might progress more slowly.
However, the advantages in the later stages were enormous.
Venerables were divided into low-grade Venerables, mid-grade Venerables, high-grade Venerables, Universe Overlords, and top-tier Universe Overlords.
Generally speaking, Immortals with genetic levels or amplification below tenfold who mastered a supreme law and then broke through to Venerable would become low-grade Venerables.
To become mid-grade or high-grade Venerables, one needed some comprehension of another supreme law.
At the same time, amplification secret arts and genetic level also had to improve.
As for Universe Overlords, their genetic level and amplification secret arts generally had to reach at least several dozen times.
Additionally, they had to grasp the three major profundities of another supreme law.
As for top-tier Universe Overlords, one had to possess a special life clone to be considered as such.
Otherwise, even if one mastered the three major profundities of another supreme law, reached the hundredfold genetic limit below Universe Masters, and had amplification secret arts at the hundredfold limit, one still could not become a top-tier Universe Overlord.
To become a top-tier Universe Overlord, one's genetic level needed to reach at least a thousandfold.
At the same time, one's divine body could not be too small.
Because Luo Fan possessed talent-based enhancement secret arts,
after breaking through to Immortality, the hardware conditions of his spatial worm clone could be said to be comparable to those of a top-tier Universe Overlord.
However, there were still two points that would make him weaker than some true top-tier Universe Overlords.
Those were his comprehension of the Time Origin Law and the tier of his secret arts.
Thus, he planned to first raise his comprehension of the Time Origin Law to a certain level.
Ideally, by using the Space-Time Realm, he would comprehend the Time Origin Law to the verge of full mastery.
That way, at the Immortal stage, he would already be comparable to a top-tier Universe Overlord.
In the original work, although Luo Feng had not comprehended the Time Origin Law at the Immortal stage, he still possessed top-tier Universe Overlord combat strength.
However, that was mainly because Luo Feng's comprehension of the Golden Space Beast God Path was extremely deep.
That was why he had such strength.
Luo Fan had originally also planned to fully commit to the Beast God Path first.
But now, with the Space-Time Realm, he could completely walk both paths simultaneously.
After all, these were paths he would have to walk sooner or later anyway.
He even planned to try to obtain recognition of all ten origin laws at the World Master stage.
After all, he would eventually fully comprehend all ten origin laws.
If he wanted to comprehend other origin laws, the Chaos Stele still had some use.
However, Luo Fan could simply leave a clone here as a pair of eyes.
Then, his main body and clones could remain in the Primal Universe and use the Zhouji Tower for time acceleration.
Before the Ice Peak Lord could ask further, Luo Fan directly stated his request.
"Teacher, aside from nurturing my third clone, I also want to comprehend the other origin laws to the level of law recognition while still at the World Master stage."
"So I hope to be able to study other Chaos Steles as well."
Hearing this, the Ice Peak Lord said directly,
"No problem."
"I'll grant you twenty comprehension opportunities for each of the other fifty-one Chaos Steles."
For the Ice Peak Lord, this was extremely easy.
"Since you're planning to nurture a third clone, do you have any targets in mind?"
"All the biological materials within are available for you to apply for."
"If there's not enough, you can also try applying and see whether they can help you obtain them."
Because Luo Fan had contributed the E9-grade Bloodline Evolution Potion,
his current resource quota was extremely high.
Moreover, due to his own talent, his authority was also exceptionally great.
Hearing this, Luo Fan shook his head.
"No need, Teacher. I plan to leave one clone here to observe the Chaos Steles."
"As for my main body and another clone, one of them will head to the Ancestral God Sect."
"Besides comprehending the Beast God Path there, I can also visit the Ancestral God Secret Realm to see if there's anything suitable for nurturing a clone."
Luo Fan had long since planned his choices for his third and fourth clones.
However, to nurture the third clone, he would have to go to the Ancestral God Sect.
"Good."
"During this period, I'll help you apply for a Beast God Inheritance Token."
"Don't worry. Even if the application fails, you can use your supreme treasure points to exchange for one in advance."
"However, given your talent and contributions, successfully applying for one shouldn't be a problem."
Knowing that Luo Fan intended to go to the Ancestral God Sect, the Ice Peak Lord prepared to help him apply for a Beast God Inheritance Token.
