Ji Heng quickly pulled out a bottle of medicine. "Fourth Elder, I actually have a way for your hair. This potion was developed by Senior Brother Ye Cheng. He has a grasp of the Law of Life. It was originally meant to treat injuries, but I figured it might work for hair loss too."
Fourth Elder froze. Was he supposed to take it? Or was he supposed to…?
He forced a smile. "Alright, I'll give it a try."
He took the potion.
Ji Heng immediately relaxed. The moment Fourth Elder accepted it, the task had already registered as completed. Looks like this potion was guaranteed to work.
"Sect Master, I'll head back now," Ji Heng said respectfully.
"Go ahead," Yun Jin nodded.
In the next instant, Ji Heng's body disappeared from the spot. Even though they'd seen this happen multiple times before, watching Wushuang Sect disciples move so freely still left the five elders visibly envious.
Space was their faith.
They'd spent their whole lives studying the Law of Space. Now it felt like everything they'd struggled for all these years didn't even matter in front of some people.
That kind of gap almost shattered their Dao hearts.
"I'll leave first too. You're welcome to visit me anytime in the next three days. After that, I'll be gone," Yun Jin said as she left the Tower of Truth.
At the top of the tower, the five elders fell silent.
Today had shaken them to their core. They really needed some time to think.
"What do you make of what Yun Jin said?" the Elder broke the silence first.
The Second Elder spoke softly, "This kind of power… it's unbelievable. Neither that scroll nor that mysterious Mission Hall is something a small world should have."
He didn't state it outright.
But everyone knew.
This was power fit for a god.
They even questioned whether a god could pull off something like this.
Yun Jin's origin was extraordinary!
"Not to mention, she must have spatial techniques far beyond our world," Fifth Elder said eagerly. "If we could traverse worlds like she does, we could probably understand more Laws of Space, even touch the essence of space itself!"
By the end, her eyes burned with fanatic intensity. As researchers of space, increasing their own strength was only a means to study it better.
Space was the only truth.
Now, with a chance to access even deeper spatial Laws, she couldn't resist the temptation.
"Indeed." Fourth Elder had already rubbed the potion on his bald head, and tiny black follicles were actually sprouting. He wore a thoughtful expression. "The key is, this sect might even cure hair loss."
The other four stared at him. Was that the highlight?!
Fourth Elder gave an awkward smile. "Just trying to lighten the mood."
"Elder, I think we absolutely can't miss this cooperation opportunity," Third Elder said gently. "No need to wait three days. I suggest we let Yun Jin set up a Wushuang Sect branch here, select a few people to join, and try it out. If she's telling the truth, just being able to traverse small worlds alone makes this cooperation more beneficial than risky."
For these obsessive researchers of space, the main concern wasn't how many resources they could get from other small worlds. It was the act of jumping through space itself.
Wushuang Sect disciples hadn't deeply understood space, so their repeated jumps hadn't revealed much.
If it were them, it would be different. They'd studied space their whole lives. Every jump was like conducting another experiment. They, and the entire Void Mirage World, might break through the current scientific bottleneck.
"Just… she only just left. If we follow immediately, will it seem too eager?" Second Elder asked.
"That's trivial. Don't you want to verify the Mission Hall sooner?" the others retorted.
Second Elder thought for a moment and said nothing further.
The Elder looked around. "Alright then, let's go together. Once the Wushuang Sect branch is set up, we'll select a few members to join. If it checks out, we can plan the next step."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
On the mountain, Yun Jin had already found a quiet cave and sat down cross-legged. She studied some new information from the system.
This Void Mirage World was different from the Vast Azure World. The people here were fanatical believers in the Law of Space.
Unlike the Vast Azure World, which was organized by sects, and unlike the Spirit Beast World, which had clustered races, the Void Mirage World was made up entirely of research societies.
And the Tower of Truth, scattered across the world, was the head of these societies.
They spent their days endlessly studying the Laws of Space.
According to system statistics, almost everyone here had some degree of hair loss, showing how devoted they were. For such zealous believers, traversing small worlds was irresistibly attractive. Yun Jin didn't think they'd refuse her proposal.
Still…
Since this was a major cooperation between two worlds, they'd need some time to discuss.
Yun Jin guessed they'd wait until the last day of the three-day deadline. So she sat cross-legged and took out a Dao Fruit. Now in the late Tianxian stage, Yun Jin felt she could absorb the Dao Fruit.
She had two Dao Fruits: one from the Vast Azure World and one from the Spirit Beast World.
She pondered and suddenly asked, "With the Sect Master's Residence, if the Elders join Wushuang Sect headquarters, could I instantly acquire the Laws of Space they've understood?"
The system replied calmly, [No.]
Yun Jin frowned. "Why not?"
The system explained, [The Sect Master's Residence lets you acquire the understanding of all Wushuang Sect disciples, but time-space is the exception. For example, these two Dao Fruits contain many Laws. Absorbing one lets you master the Laws contained in it. But the Law of time and space can't form a Dao Fruit. This supreme Law can only be mastered step by step.]
Yun Jin nodded.
Alright.
Supreme Laws really are different.
Still, she now knew Dao Fruits contained numerous Laws. Absorbing either would give her a significant power boost.
She thought for a moment and chose to absorb the Dao Fruit from the Vast Azure World first.
For one, the Vast Azure World was where she was born, so the compatibility was higher, making it easier to absorb.
Second, she had a subtle connection with its Heavenly Dao. Absorbing it might even benefit them.
With that in mind, Yun Jin swallowed the Dao Fruit. The moment it entered her throat, it turned into a sweet rain and was immediately absorbed.
Nothing else happened.
Yun Jin was slightly stunned.
Just that?
Suddenly, she sensed something and looked up. Above her head, a River of Laws was flowing slowly.
The Heavenly Dao of the Void Mirage World seemed to sense it too, manifesting its own River of Laws.
The two Rivers of Laws immediately intertwined.
