"Eleven, I haven't disappointed you. Although I didn't achieve a complete victory in the Loser Reincarnation Battle, I did make it into the Ganwu Universe Country's list of 1,000 people.
Eleven, I have more good news for you. My comprehension of Law improved greatly during the Loser Reincarnation Battle. I've already comprehended a trace of Time Law.
Moreover, I engaged in actual combat during the Loser Reincarnation Battle, which further improved my comprehension of Time Law. This is also why I couldn't achieve a complete victory.
The only thing bothering me now is that many Immortal, claiming to be King-level Immortal and Limit Stage King-Level Immortal, have sent emails wanting to take me as their Disciple.
The Immortal who Molten Rock Island World Master invited to teach me Light Law also sent a message saying that his teacher intends to take me as a Disciple and asked if I would be willing to become his Disciple.
I don't know how to choose right now, so I'd like to ask Eleven to help me analyze it."
"Nineteen comprehended a trace of Time Law? And he even engaged in actual combat during the Loser Reincarnation Battle?"
Seeing the message in Nineteen's email, Ender was quite surprised, "Is Nineteen's Talent in Time Law that high?"
The Possession resource purchased for Nineteen previously was of the Black Zhuo Clan, and the Black Zhuo Clan's Light Law Talent is 7 points, with no Time Law Talent in their clan's natural Talent.
"In other words, Nineteen's Time Law Talent came from Possession and reconstruction?"
Ender only had a superficial understanding of Talent reconstruction after Possession and the nurturing of a Clone. The information came from the prompts when he purchased the Possession resources.
"Ha…"
Thinking of this, Ender smiled, "I didn't expect that the Family would so quickly produce another Genius with a high probability of entering the Core Region of the five Leviathans of Humanity."
Nineteen having Time Law Talent was, in his opinion, a great thing, and as his older brother, he was very happy.
This meant that the Family's future pillars would no longer be just him. With such Talent, Nineteen would also become a pillar of the Family in the future.
"Nineteen's Time Law could still improve during the Loser Reincarnation Battle without any guidance, and he attracted many King-level Immortal powerhouses' Disciple-taking emails. It's clear that his Talent in Time Law is extraordinary."
Ender muttered, "I didn't expect that even King Aurora would express his intention to take him as a Disciple through his Disciple."
He had some understanding of King Aurora. After all, he had attended the banquet Ender held on Dry Witch Star and had demonstrated 'Time Pause'—the most difficult to comprehend of the three great profound mysteries of Time Law!
"King Aurora is the Lord of Ganwu's foremost general, a Limit Stage King-Level Immortal powerhouse with a renowned reputation on the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
Ender murmured, "A powerhouse of this Rank would not express an intention to take a Disciple unless the Genius had exceptional Talent. If Nineteen could become King Aurora's Disciple, it would be for the best."
"The only problem now is…"
Ender frowned slightly, "Lord of Ganwu is a Universe Venerable affiliated with my Virtual Universe Company, and King Aurora is Lord of Ganwu's foremost general, so he is likely also a powerhouse under my Virtual Universe Company."
"Nineteen is about to participate in the Pinnacle Genius Battle finals organized by the Huge Axe Dojo. It seems inappropriate for him to become King Aurora's Disciple at this time…"
The Huge Axe Dojo acts domineeringly. If Nineteen were to become King Aurora's Disciple, he might be subjected to difficulties by some powerhouses of the Huge Axe Dojo.
It should be noted that the five Leviathans of Humanity of humanity compete with each other, and the competition between the Virtual Universe Company and the Huge Axe Dojo is the most intense. With the tacit approval of humanity's highest echelons, both sides have been vying for the position of the five Leviathans of Humanity' number one.
Although the conflict between these two great giants doesn't reach the point of life-or-death struggle, if given the opportunity, the middle and lower echelons, and even King-level Immortal higher-ups, would try to trip each other up.
A Genius who becomes a Disciple of a Virtual Universe Company King-level Immortal powerhouse would certainly have a harder time in the Huge Axe Dojo's Core Region than one who enters the Huge Axe Dojo's Core Region without prior affiliation.
"Perhaps it's not that bad…"
Ender pondered, "Although Universe Venerable are mostly affiliated with the five Leviathans of Humanity, they generally maintain a relatively neutral position because they have to manage their Universe Country, and the same applies to their subordinate powerhouses."
"If Nineteen takes a master, it will definitely be before entering the Huge Axe Dojo, which leaves room for maneuver."
"Moreover, after Nineteen enters the Huge Axe Dojo, he might not be able to find a better teacher than King Aurora. The latter is, after all, a Limit Stage King-Level Immortal powerhouse."
He mused, "Bolan, who was in the same cohort as Luo Feng, had astonishing Space Law Talent and the reputation of a Genius appearing once every ten thousand epochs, but he didn't become a Universe Venerable's Disciple in the early stages."
"If Nineteen can become King Aurora's Disciple before the Huge Axe Dojo, then before the Pinnacle Genius Battle finals, he will have three precious years of Cultivate under the guidance of a Limit Stage King-Level Immortal powerhouse."
"Perhaps these three years of Cultivate will allow Nineteen to achieve a better Rank in the Pinnacle Genius Battle finals, thereby entering a better Secret Realm."
As far as Ender knew, the Huge Axe Dojo, like the Virtual Universe Company, also had four divisions of Secret Realm.
They are: Huge Axe Secret Realm, equivalent to Primal Secret Realm!
Primal Ruins Secret Realm, equivalent to Absolute Beginning Secret Realm!
God Origin Secret Realm, equivalent to Heaven and Earth Secret Realm!
And Dojo Secret Realm, equivalent to Last Phase Secret Realm!
"The level of this Pinnacle Genius Battle is slightly lower. If Nineteen makes astonishing progress under King Aurora's guidance, then he might have a chance to aim for the Primal Ruins Secret Realm, or even the Huge Axe Secret Realm, which offers the best treatment."
Thinking of this, Ender entered the Virtual Universe.
…
Ganwu Continent Molten Rock Island, Gu Yu Community.
Villa rooftop.
Ender arrived at the rooftop first and waited, sitting on a chair.
Soon.
Nineteen also arrived at the rooftop. Seeing Ender already waiting, he said, "Eleven, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
"Not long." Ender shook his head slightly, then asked, "What are your thoughts on taking a master?"
"I want to make further progress before the Pinnacle Genius Battle finals to strive for a better Rank," Nineteen answered honestly.
"If that's what you're thinking, then taking a master now can indeed help you."
Ender nodded slightly, then sighed softly, "It's a pity you didn't comprehend Space Law. Otherwise, I could guide you before the Pinnacle Genius Battle."
With his attainments in Space Law and his understanding of Space Law secret patterns, if Nineteen had comprehended Space Law, his short-term guidance would definitely not be inferior to that of a King-level Immortal.
But Nineteen comprehended Time Law. If he wanted to make significant progress before the Pinnacle Genius Battle, becoming a Disciple of a powerhouse skilled in Time Law was the best choice.
"That's what I thought too." Nineteen also sighed, "If I had comprehended Space Law, I wouldn't be so conflicted right now."
"Nineteen, since you want to achieve a better Rank in the Pinnacle Genius Battle, I recommend you take King Aurora as your master." Ender suggested.
Nineteen was puzzled, "King Aurora, is that the Immortal who guided me in Cultivate Light Law, Xiuluo's teacher?"
"Yes." Ender nodded, "King Aurora is a Limit Stage King-Level Immortal powerhouse who achieved Immortal through Light Law. His comprehension of Time Law is extremely profound. If you can become his Disciple, it will greatly benefit your future comprehension of Time and Light Origin Law."
Upon hearing this, Nineteen thought for a moment, then nodded, "Even Eleven, you speak so highly of King Aurora. I'll reply to Teacher Xiuluo now."
Just like that, Ender watched as Nineteen summoned a light screen, wrote an email on it, and sent it directly.
Ender warned, "Nineteen, if you become King Aurora's Personal Disciple, then your teacher will not only be your guide on the Law path but also one of the closest people to you."
"If you encounter any difficulties in Law comprehension or doubts on your Cultivation path, you can consult your teacher."
He paused, then continued, "You must remember, no matter what, you must never betray your teacher! Anyone who betrays their teacher and clan will be scorned by countless people in the Universe."
Nineteen nodded seriously, "Eleven, I understand."
"Good that you understand." Ender reminded him, "One more thing, many powerhouses do not have only one teacher. If after you become King Aurora's Disciple, a powerhouse like a Universe Venerable wants to take you as a Disciple, then you must seek your teacher's opinion."
Nineteen smiled and nodded, somewhat excitedly, "Eleven, are you saying there's a possibility I could be taken as a Disciple by a Universe Venerable?"
"Heh… I'm just reminding you." Ender shook his head slightly, helplessly, "Of course, although the probability is ridiculously small, there might be such a possibility."
"Haha…" Nineteen laughed, just about to speak, but suddenly stopped.
He said with a solemn expression, "Eleven, King Aurora wants to see me." "Since King Aurora wants to see you, then go." Ender raised his head slightly, "This concerns whether you can become King Aurora's Disciple."
"Eleven, then I'm going." Nineteen summoned a light screen, then clicked to accept the invitation.
Swish!
Under Ender's gaze, Nineteen vanished from the villa rooftop in a flash of white light.
"I wonder if Nineteen can become King Aurora's Disciple." Ender murmured, "A powerhouse like King Aurora is bound to be very strict with his Disciples and will have certain tests."
…
Ganwu Continent, Aurora Island.
As the Lord of Ganwu's foremost general, a Limit Stage King-Level Immortal powerhouse with a renowned reputation on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, King Aurora has his own territory in the Ganwu Universe Country.
Although his territory has not established an Empire, it is also a large Starfield with over ten thousand star systems, and there is a corresponding island in the Virtual Universe.
The center of Aurora Island is a towering mountain Pinnacle, and a palace is built at the summit of the mountain.
This palace covers an area of about a hundred square kilometers and is built entirely of white jade. Sunlight shining on the palace produces a soft glow, giving people an extremely warm feeling.
Swish!
With a flash of white light, a figure landed on the square in front of the main hall of this white jade palace.
Due to Ender's persuasion, after entering the Ganwu Universe Country's list of 1,000 people through the Loser Reincarnation Battle, Nineteen had removed the scar on his face, restoring his former energetic appearance.
"Arthur."
Before Nineteen could even look around, a voice entered his ears.
A leopard-man, over three meters tall, wearing white battle armor and with reddish-brown fur, entered Nineteen's sight.
Seeing the reddish-brown furred leopard-man appear, Nineteen respectfully said, "Mr. Xiuluo."
"Come up, Teacher is waiting for you inside."
The reddish-brown furred leopard-man, Xiuluo, smiled and nodded slightly, signaling Nineteen to come up from the square below.
"Yes."
Nineteen nodded respectfully, then walked up the steps that looked like white jade but had no reflection.
Soon, he arrived in front of the main hall, standing behind Xiuluo, half a step back.
"You go in." A gentle breeze ruffled Xiuluo's reddish-brown fur.
"Yes."
Nineteen did not ask, but followed Xiuluo's words, taking a few steps forward and entering the white jade palace's main entrance.
Creak!
As Nineteen entered the main hall of the white jade palace and moved beyond the range where the palace's main doors closed, the doors closed with a sound.
The floor of the white jade palace was paved with deep white jade, and although the main doors had closed, the white jade roof emitted a soft light, making the hall as bright as day.
As he seemed to see a figure sitting on a throne deep within the hall, Nineteen bravely continued to advance towards the depths of the hall.
Soon.
After walking for a while, he clearly saw the appearance of the figure sitting on the throne.
It was a middle-aged man with long white hair draped over his shoulders, wearing blood-stained white battle armor, with a face similar to most humanoids in the Universe, and red pupils in his eyes.
As Nineteen clearly saw the middle-aged man's appearance, the middle-aged man also spoke, "Arthur Royce."
Nineteen respectfully bowed, then replied, "I am Arthur Royce."
"Heh… I am King Aurora." The middle-aged man smiled slightly, "I once met your brother, Ender Royce. He was a very Prodigy little fellow."
Nineteen listened quietly. He had no objection to King Aurora, who was sitting on the throne, calling Eleven a 'little fellow'.
Because he knew that this King Aurora was a very ancient existence. According to the few words Xiuluo had said, he was one of the earliest followers of Lord of Ganwu, even more ancient than some Universe Venerable.
"Little fellow, your Time Law Talent is good. Not only did you comprehend Time Law on your own, but you also made progress within two years without anyone's guidance."
King Aurora praised softly, "The Talent you have shown so far is no weaker than your brother's Talent during the Pinnacle Genius Battle."
"However, the Talent your brother showed during the Pinnacle Genius Battle was only a part of his Talent. After all, he was only a hundred years old at that time."
"And the number of Genius with Talent like his born in our human history is extremely, extremely small."
After praising him, King Aurora asked softly, "Arthur, now I ask you, are you willing to become my Disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Nineteen was about to speak when King Aurora continued, "Don't rush to answer. Listen to me first."
"If you become my Disciple now, you will only be a Official Disciple until you pass my test."
"Because of your special situation, I have set two tests for you. Hmm…" King Aurora pondered for a moment, then said softly, "These two tests are not difficult. As long as you complete any one of them, you will become my Disciple."
"For the first test, if you can directly enter the Huge Axe Dojo's, Huge Axe Secret Realm or Primal Ruins Secret Realm after the Pinnacle Genius Battle ends, you will become my Personal Disciple."
"The second test is formulated on the premise that the first test has not been completed. If you enter the Huge Axe Dojo but fail to enter the first two Secret Realm, then if you enter the Primal Ruins Secret Realm within five hundred years, you can also become my Personal Disciple."
King Aurora smiled, "Of course, both of these tests are formulated on the condition that you pass the Pinnacle Genius Battle finals and enter the Huge Axe Dojo's Core Region."
"If you cannot enter the Huge Axe Dojo's Core Region in this relatively low-level Pinnacle Genius Battle…"
Speaking of this, he shook his head slightly, "Then you can only remain one of my many Official Disciple."
"I have finished speaking. Now it's your turn to make a choice." After speaking, King Aurora looked at Nineteen, waiting for him to make a choice.
"I am willing to become your Disciple, King Aurora." Nineteen bowed deeply, confidently saying, "Your Disciple will definitely enter the Huge Axe Dojo's Core Region and strive to complete the tests you have set, Teacher."
"Very good." King Aurora smiled and nodded, "From today onwards, you are my Disciple, Feng Yan of King Aurora. I look forward to you completing the tests and becoming my Personal Disciple."
"Your Disciple will not disappoint you, Teacher!" Nineteen said solemnly.
"Since you have become my Disciple, I will now bestow upon you the first two volumes of the secret technique I created…"
As King Aurora spoke, he waved his hand, and two boxes of metal secret technique books appeared before Nineteen. The cover read 'Aurora Secret Codex' in four Universal common language characters.
"Tell me, what are your comprehensions and doubts about Time Law?" King Aurora asked.
"Teacher, your Disciple…"
Upon hearing this, Nineteen explained his doubts and comprehensions about Time Law one by one.
And King Aurora gave guidance and answers specifically for Nineteen's comprehensions and doubts.
…
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and the Pinnacle Genius Battle began again!
