Ender and his group of seven walked for hundreds of miles to reach the Sacred Tablet Tower, which was over a hundred kilometers tall.
"Human Ender," a deep voice echoed in Ender's mind, "I am the Sacred Tablet Tower Guardian. You have the opportunity to Cultivate in the Sacred Tablet Tower alone for one year. Do you wish to begin your Cultivation now?"
"Can my one year of Cultivation time be split?" Ender asked.
"Yes," the deep voice replied, "Each Cultivation session must be at least seven days."
Ender said, "This time, I want to Cultivate for ten days."
"Good," the deep voice answered.
…
Inside the Sacred Tablet Tower.
Dozens of Gold Horn Race members were engrossed in Cultivating the Sacred Tablet when suddenly their faces twisted in agony as a mind-shattering roar echoed in their ears, instantly waking them from their Cultivation.
"Wake up!"
The Saint Stele Guardian's deep voice resonated in the minds of the Gold Horn Race members, "A Human Genius needs to Cultivate the Sacred Tablet alone. Your Cultivation time still has four days remaining. You can return to Cultivate after ten days."
"What? A Human Genius wants to Cultivate the Sacred Tablet?"
"How unlucky! We actually ran into a Human Genius coming to Cultivate the Sacred Tablet."
"Sigh, there's no helping it. Who told him to be a Human?"
"Haha! I didn't expect this Cultivation session could be split into two. My previous confusion has been resolved by Cultivating the Sacred Tablet, and my next Cultivation will definitely progress further."
While discussing, the Gold Horn Race members were driven out of the Sacred Tablet Tower. As soon as they exited the main entrance, they saw Ender and the others standing not far away.
"Is that the Human Genius?"
"Hmm? He's a bit strange."
"Indeed, strange. He clearly has a body of flesh and blood, yet I can't see through his strength."
"Tsk, what a grand display! He actually has multiple Immortals of our race protecting him."
"No choice, who told him to be a Human Genius?"
The Gold Horn Race members walked out of the Sacred Tablet Tower, glanced at Ender and the others, and began to discuss via voice transmission.
However, they dared not cause trouble. The Sacred Tablet Tower was a Holy Land of the Gold Horn Race. Those who dared to cause trouble here would not end well, and might even be unable to Cultivate the Sacred Tablet in the future.
"I'm going in to Cultivate the Sacred Tablet. I'll be out in ten days. You all can go back and rest during this time," Ender turned and said to Mullie and the others, then stepped into the Sacred Tablet Tower.
…
"The Gold Horn Race is accustomed to living in low-temperature environments, but the temperature inside this Sacred Tablet Tower is even lower than outside. It actually makes me feel a biting chill."
As soon as he entered the Sacred Tablet Tower, Ender felt an biting cold. Even a slight breath felt like super-low temperatures penetrating his body.
"Human Ender, I am the Sacred Tablet Tower Guardian. You may call me Guardian."
A figure completely enveloped in magnificent black battle armor, with only a pair of purple eyes revealed, and faintly visible dark red skin through the helmet, exuded an incomparably terrifying sharp aura. Beside him, a gigantic blade, approximately three meters tall, was plunged into the ground.
"Guardian." Ender bowed slightly. Feeling the invisible pressure, he thought, "His pressure is no less than King Hongzhi of the Lorgar Tribe. Without a doubt, this should be an Invincible King powerhouse."
The Saint Stele Guardian looked deeply at Ender, and said in a deep voice, "Go in. You have ten days of Cultivation time."
"Yes."
Ender nodded, then walked continuously along the dark passage deeper inside.
Soon, he arrived at an incomparably vast hall. Looking up, he could even see the top rock wall of the Sacred Tablet Tower, which was over a hundred kilometers high. Evidently, the entire Sacred Tablet Tower consisted of only one floor, and within this vast hall, a majestic crystal was placed.
"This place is big enough for my human main body to Cultivate."
After observing the surroundings, Ender then communicated with his World Ring. Amidst invisible world fluctuations, his avatar disappeared, replaced by a figure over a hundred meters tall.
"Sacred Tablet."
Switching to his true body, Ender slightly raised his head, looking at the Gold Horn Race's Supreme Treasure for Law Cultivation, the Crystal Sacred Tablet!
The entire tablet was about 300 meters high, 100 meters wide, and approximately 50 meters thick. It was entirely composed of a pale green crystal, and a breathtaking aura permeated from this Crystal Sacred Tablet. At the very center of the entire Crystal Sacred Tablet, there was a hole.
The hole was about 30 centimeters in diameter and one meter deep, a conical hole.
Aside from the conical hole, this 300-meter-high pale green Crystal Sacred Tablet also had a very strange image of a roaring demonic figure.
After a quick look at the Sacred Tablet, Ender thought, "This Sacred Tablet is very different from the 49 Primal Chaos Tablets in our Human Race. Besides the material and the hole, it only has one image."
On this majestic Sacred Tablet was a huge roaring demonic figure. The demon had two curved horns, feathered wings, eyes like flames, and at first glance, it appeared to be just an ordinary roaring demonic figure.
But upon truly concentrating and observing, one would discover that every feather on the demon's wings, the flames surrounding its eyes, every strand of hair, every texture on its curved horns, and the secret patterns on its armor—all were profound and infinitely mysterious!
He concentrated, fixing his gaze on the roaring demonic figure. His consciousness was involuntarily drawn to the demonic wings.
Whoosh!
It was as if meteors were flying past him, rapidly heading towards the boundless, dark depths. At this moment, Ender felt as if he was in the Endless Starry Void, with countless stars changing around him, yet it seemed to be the evolution and derivation of Space…
Ender was immersed in the Sacred Tablet Cultivation. The mysteries of Space Law within it captivated him. Having already comprehended the 108 fundamental essences of Space Law, he had accumulated many questions after Cultivating the fifth volume of the Divine Tree True Solution, and many of these questions were answered here.
…
Four days later, while Ender was still Cultivating the Sacred Tablet.
In one of the ancient Cultivation residences within the Holy Land of the Sacred City.
Elder Rient stood at the entrance. Under everyone's gaze, a young man with bronze skin and a dark golden long staff on his back was communicating with the former via voice transmission.
A crowd of young Gold Horn Race members gathered on the street outside the door, keeping a distance from Elder Rient at the entrance. They watched the two confronting each other and discussed animatedly via voice transmission.
"Leo really dares! He even dares to challenge that Human Genius."
"Yes, according to what that Elder said before, that Human Genius's Law comprehension at the Universe Level already surpassed that of ordinary Immortals."
"If his Law comprehension at the Universe Level already surpassed that of ordinary Immortals, then now that that Human Genius has become a Domain Master, wouldn't his Law comprehension be ridiculously strong?!"
"Heh heh, I don't believe that Human Genius can have such a high Law comprehension. If his Law comprehension at the Universe Level can be that high, then at the World Master Level, wouldn't he be comparable to a King Immortal?"
"I don't believe it either. The further one goes, the harder Laws are to comprehend. Many World Masters can't even comprehend a sub-Law until they die. How could he have such Law comprehension at the Universe Level?"
Many young Gold Horn Race members still didn't believe Elder Rient's words. To them, it was simply unbelievable.
"Leo, although you are the strongest Domain Master Genius of our Gold Horn Race in the past ten thousand epochs, your strength is still far inferior to His Highness," Elder Rient advised, "I suggest you do not challenge His Highness, otherwise…"
"Elder, I must challenge His Human Highness," the young man Leo said, his gaze exceptionally firm, "My Law comprehension has made great progress compared to before, surpassing the level of ordinary Immortals."
Elder Rient transmitted, "Even if your Law comprehension has made great progress, you are still not His Highness's opponent. It's better not to challenge him. If you lose, it will be an extraordinary blow to the race."
According to his understanding, Leo's Law comprehension was previously at roughly the Tongtian Bridge tenth level, comparable to an ordinary Immortal.
Even if his Law comprehension had made great progress now, at most it would reach the Tongtian Bridge eleventh level, which was still far inferior to Ender's Tongtian Bridge twelfth level.
Elder Rient had also seen Ender in action during his mission in the Yuan Chen Universe Country. His strength was unfathomable, and he estimated that Leo might not even be able to force him to use his full strength.
"Even if I lose, it's better than doing nothing!" Leo transmitted with confidence in his own strength, "Besides, I might not necessarily lose."
"Since you are so resolute, I won't stop you. His Highness will only emerge from the Sacred Tablet Tower in five days. You can come to challenge His Highness six days from now." After trying to persuade him twice without success, Elder Rient stopped trying.
"Thank you, Elder. I will come back in six days," Leo transmitted.
Elder Rient sighed inwardly, "Good, you may go."
…
Time flowed, and the ten days of Sacred Tablet Cultivation came to an end.
"Wake up!"
A roaring sound echoed through his mind, seemingly reaching deep into his Soul, shaking his spirit!
The sudden roar caused Ender's face, still immersed in Sacred Tablet Cultivation, to twist in agony, enduring immense pain. He immediately awoke from his engrossed Cultivation state.
"Cultivation time is up."
World fluctuations flashed, and Ender's true body, over a hundred meters tall, disappeared. In its place, an avatar just over two meters tall appeared in the Sacred Tablet chamber.
Whoosh!
Ender controlled his avatar to rush out, quickly arriving at the entrance of the Sacred Tablet Tower.
"You still have Eleven months and twenty days of Cultivation time," the Saint Stele Guardian's deep voice resonated.
"Understood." Ender nodded slightly, then walked out of the Sacred Tablet Tower.
…
Outside the Sacred Tablet Tower,
Seeing Ender emerge, Mullie and the others came forward to greet him, "Your Highness."
"Mm." Ender nodded in response, then looked up into the distance, seeing a majestic white tower. He said, "Let's go to the Technique Tower."
The group walked along the streets within the Holy Land to the majestic white tower. The Technique Tower was as tall as the Sacred Tablet Tower, but its color was entirely white. The entire tower subtly emitted a calming aura; approaching the Technique Tower, one's mind felt an unprecedented tranquility.
Ender and his group ascended the stairs, entered the main gate of the Technique Tower, and arrived at its first floor.
"Your Highness Ender."
A sharp voice rang out. A tall, thin female Gold Horn Race member wearing pale golden armor approached. With a faint Immortal pressure, she resembled a beautiful wax figure.
The female Gold Horn Race member smiled, "Your Highness Ender, my name is Via. I am a receptionist at the Technique Tower."
"We have already received orders from the Doyen Shrine. Your Highness, you may choose any trial copy of a Secret Technique within this Technique Tower. Once chosen, we will give Your Highness the Complete Manual of that Secret Technique."
The female Gold Horn Race member Via introduced, "Next, I will be fully responsible for explaining everything to Your Highness, allowing Your Highness to save time in choosing. After all, the number of Secret Techniques here is truly vast. The entire Technique Tower has 999 floors, and each floor contains millions of Secret Techniques."
"Thank you for your trouble." Ender nodded slightly, then turned to Mullie and the others, "You all wait here for a moment. I'll go choose a Secret Technique."
"Yes," Mullie and the others replied.
"Your Highness, please follow me." The female Gold Horn Race member Via led the way, and the two quickly ascended to the second floor via the stairs.
Upon reaching the second floor, Ender merely glanced around and chuckled inwardly, "It looks quite spectacular."
The space on the second floor of the Technique Tower was extremely vast, nearly a hundred meters high. Bookcases were scattered throughout, with books laid flat on them. Although laid flat, due to the immense space, those bookcases were seventy to eighty meters high, so there were an extremely large number of books, certainly over a million Secret Techniques stored there.
Of course, what he meant by 'spectacular' only referred to the impressive number of physical books.
Because, when it came to the actual quantity of Secret Technique scriptures, the Human Race, as a Pinnacle race, surpassed the Gold Horn Race by an unknown multiple.
Ender turned to the female Gold Horn Race member Via and said, "Let's go directly to the 999th floor."
He naturally had no interest in low-level Secret Techniques. All the Secret Techniques in the entire Gold Horn Race that could interest him were on the 999th floor.
The female Gold Horn Race member Via heard this and was not surprised by Ender's words. She simply led the way, saying, "Your Highness, please follow me."
…
Ender and the other person continuously walked up the stairs. The higher they went, the fewer Gold Horn Race members they saw on each floor. Above the 800th floor, there would often be only one receptionist or caretaker on a particular floor, with no Gold Horn Race members coming to choose Secret Techniques.
However, every receptionist and caretaker would respectfully bow upon seeing the female Gold Horn Race member Via, clearly indicating that her status was not as simple as just a receptionist.
"How are your Gold Horn Race contribution points calculated?" Ender asked curiously.
"Our race's contribution points have many sources. For example, giving birth to a child for the race earns contribution points. Increases in strength, reaching Domain Master, World Master Level, and Breakthrough to Immortal, all come with contribution point rewards."
"Also, joining the army and earning military merits while fighting for the Human Race can be exchanged for contribution points," the female Gold Horn Race member Via said, "In short, as long as one contributes to our Gold Horn Race, there are contribution points."
Ender nodded slightly. The method for calculating contribution points was similar to that of humans.
However, subordinate races like the Gold Horn Race had an extremely strong sense of crisis, and their racial cohesion was astonishing. Everything was done for the survival and development of the race.
Unlike the Human Race, which was divided into five major factions, with frequent conflicts and contradictions among the lower and middle ranks of these five factions, and many Geniuses dying in these lower and middle-level conflicts.
"I see that every Secret Technique in this Technique Tower is marked with its corresponding contribution points." Seeing that they were getting closer to the 999th floor, Ender asked, "How many contribution points is the Secret Technique called 'Gold Soul' worth?"
