The third floor of the inheritance ground held no more secrets worth pursuing.
Han Jue had already unraveled this space's fundamental nature, and what he'd discovered made him smile with satisfaction.
The entire inheritance ground, every floor, every chamber, every trial, had been constructed upon a single magnificent treasure.
A palace-type treasure.
The requirements for claiming it were deceptively simple: comprehend the Origin Law of Light and possess the soul signature of someone born on Earth. With those two qualifications, one could directly seize control of this entire palace-type treasure and everything within it.
Unfortunately, Han Jue didn't meet the prerequisites.
Only Earthlings who cultivated the Origin Law of Light could receive the specific inheritance stored on the third floor. Anyone else, regardless of their cultivation achievements, would find the door permanently barred. Only Han Jue, with his innate talent for the Origin Law of Light granted by his Six Eyes bloodline, could even perceive the anomaly that revealed this secret.
He shook his head with mild regret. It wouldn't be too difficult to claim this treasure after he broke through to World Master level.
By that point, Han Jue would possess sufficient confidence to comprehend any lower-tier Origin Law he chose. The Origin Law of Light presented no particular challenge, he'd studied its fundamental structure extensively during his observations of spatial phenomena.
However, without Luo Feng's pronucleus, that unique biological mechanism that prevented forced breakthroughs, Han Jue worried that successfully comprehending the Origin Law of Light might trigger an immediate, involuntary advancement to Immortal status.
The appearance of Ian from the inheritance ground's first floor finally revealed the complete picture of the Ice Wasteland Lord's past.
When the Ice Wasteland Lord reached Stellar level, he'd followed the forces of the Ankh Empire's Golden-Silver Forest to this region, engaging in territorial conflicts with the Three Axe Mountain organization. During those battles, he'd stumbled upon this inheritance site. Perhaps he hadn't yet qualified to receive the full inheritance, or perhaps he'd only obtained a partial legacy, either way, he'd departed temporarily after his initial exploration.
After reaching World Master level, he'd traveled to the outer battlefields and encountered King Tiegu. Hundreds of epochs passed between them as companions in arms before the Ice Wasteland Lord finally left the outer battlefield and returned to Mubo Star.
Upon returning to Mubo Star, he'd done nothing except immediately revisit the inheritance site. This time, he'd successfully obtained the Ice Wasteland Sword along with several other treasures and techniques, including the "Absolute Origin Heart", a legacy left by the Crimson Star King.
In his later years, the Ice Wasteland Lord had fled to Earth, establishing his own inheritance ground there. Perhaps he'd intended to follow the Crimson Star King's instructions by having Earth's people inherit his accumulated legacy. Or perhaps he'd simply foreseen that Earth had already been shattered and reconstructed countless times throughout cosmic history.
The Ice Wasteland Lord had realized that true humans hadn't yet evolved on Earth, so he'd attempted to achieve Immortality through force of will and desperate effort.
The result was predictable.
Stuck permanently at peak World Master level, even though his actual combat strength could barely match that of a standard Immortal Marquis, his comprehension of the laws remained insufficient. He'd eventually died with profound regret, unable to transcend his mortal limitations.
Leaving the inheritance ground behind, Han Jue felt satisfied with his discoveries.
The highest-difficulty mission from the Virtual Universe Company had been completed. There was no remaining reason to stay in Ganwu Universe Country.
Han Jue looked at Ian and announced firmly, "Let's go to Primal Chaos City."
The shuttle ship from the Virtual Universe Company had already arrived on Earth, ready to transport them to the Beginning Universe.
Primal Chaos City
This marked the tenth year that the siblings Han Huan and Han Xi had entered Primal Chaos City.
Han Huan, like his father Han Jue, wielded a longsword and comprehended the Ice Peak Chaos Monument, following the warrior lineage with dedicated focus.
As a direct personal disciple of Venerable Lianyi, Han Huan had reached the fourth level of Tongtian Bridge during his eighth year in Primal Chaos City. His achievement surpassed Bolan's progress at the equivalent point and brought considerable honor to Venerable Lianyi's reputation.
Han Xi, meanwhile, had initially pursued a warrior's path, but after selecting the Origin Chaos Monument for her comprehension focus, she'd pivoted toward developing as an Illusionist instead. Leveraging her unique advantages, the analytical capabilities inherited from her Earthling heritage combined with her Six Eyes bloodline, she'd proven remarkably effective in this specialized discipline. By the beginning of her tenth year in Primal Chaos City, she'd successfully surpassed the fourth level of Tongtian Bridge.
This achievement officially granted her entry into the Virtual Universe Company's core layer, the prestigious Primal Secret Realm!
Both siblings could be considered geniuses born once every tens of thousands of epochs. If they hadn't already been accepted as Venerable Lianyi's disciples, every Chaos Monument teacher in Primal Chaos City would have been competing fiercely to claim them as students.
"Brother!" Han Xi called out softly, and Han Huan instantly understood her unspoken message.
He stepped forward protectively, positioning himself between her and the incoming Domain Master-level Chaos Beast's attack.
Han Huan's understanding of the Origin Law of Space had grown considerably deeper than his sister's, and correspondingly, his amplified strength far exceeded hers in direct combat situations.
Blocking a Domain Master-level attack posed no particular challenge.
After neutralizing the threat, Han Huan delivered the finishing blow, allowing Han Xi to safely absorb the Chaos True Spirit released by the beast's dissolution.
This coordinated hunting method, working together to eliminate Domain Master-level Chaos Beasts, wasn't their first successful collaboration. Far from it.
The two had been inseparable since birth, maintaining an extraordinarily close relationship. Even their occasional quarrels quickly resolved themselves, serving more as emotional seasoning than genuine conflict.
Han Jue had considered this dynamic carefully during their childhood.
If the two of them truly showed no inclination toward eventually forming a partnership together, he wouldn't have forced such an arrangement. But observing their natural affinity and mutual devotion, those concerns had proven unnecessary.
This sort of situation wasn't particularly uncommon among elite bloodline families.
As bearers of a pinnacle bloodline, their numbers couldn't be allowed to proliferate excessively, similar to the population dynamics of rare starry sky behemoths.
"Brother, this is bad!"
Han Xi, with her sharper perceptual abilities, spotted the approaching danger before Han Huan registered the threat.
Han Huan turned his gaze toward the distance, his expression twitching as he observed the vast swarm of Chaos Beasts appearing on the horizon.
"Run!" he commanded decisively.
Han Huan grabbed Han Xi's wrist and immediately began flying back toward the safety of Primal Chaos City.
A swarm of Domain Master-level Chaos Beasts was absolutely beyond what even his enhanced capabilities could handle!
Neither of them had cultivated auxiliary lifeforms yet, so facing this overwhelming situation left them with no viable option except immediate retreat.
Roar!
The Chaos Beast swarm bellowed behind them, their combined voices shaking the very fabric of space. Han Huan gritted his teeth and withdrew a silver-white, pyramid-shaped spacecraft from his spatial storage.
This was the E9-class mechanical spaceship from Earth that Han Jue had gifted to Han Huan and Han Xi years ago.
The siblings finally released their held breath once they'd escaped safely aboard the vessel.
"Brother, Father said he'll be arriving in Primal Chaos City soon, and he'll be staying here for three hundred years," Han Xi suddenly announced, her voice bright with happiness.
"Father?" Han Huan's expression showed momentary surprise before transforming into genuine joy.
The last time he'd seen Han Jue in physical reality was nearly a hundred years ago!
Boom!
The elliptical spaceship emerged from the cosmic passage, settling into position above Primal Chaos City. The hatch opened, releasing a diverse stream of figures representing various intelligent races.
Han Jue was among them, finally entering Primal Chaos City once again.
Ian and the other guards had essentially accompanied Han Jue only to the outskirts of the Beginning Universe before departing. From this point forward, Han Jue would remain within Primal Chaos City's protective boundaries until he successfully advanced to World Master level. At that cultivation tier, Ian and his fellow guards would no longer be able to accompany him during his training expeditions.
The plan was straightforward and efficient.
Han Jue intended to exhaust his remaining Chaos Monument comprehension opportunities, then cultivate the fourth prison of the Ice Peak Nine Hells Body, accumulate points by advancing through Tongtian Bridge, Tongtian Mountain, and the Sea of Illusion trials, and finally achieve his breakthrough to World Master level.
As for whether he should continue residing in Primal Chaos City after reaching World Master status, Han Jue was still weighing his options carefully.
"Father!" Han Xi's voice called out eagerly.
"Father," Han Huan greeted more reservedly.
Not long after Han Jue located suitable accommodations within the city, Han Xi and Han Huan came to visit him.
Han Jue smiled warmly, reaching out to ruffle both of their heads affectionately, then withdrew two items from his spatial storage.
For Han Huan, he produced leaves from the Purple Bamboo Jade Maple Tree.
For Han Xi, he offered the Spirit Stone Cold Flower.
Both treasures were body-refining materials of equivalent value and potency. Among them, the Spirit Stone Cold Flower was a treasure that Han Jue had specifically purchased with Han Xi's cultivation needs in mind.
"Once you two have met the requirements for cultivating the Ice Peak Nine Hells Body, you can use these respective treasures for your refinement process," Han Jue explained with a smile. "They should help you directly complete the First Prison's formation. If you're fortunate, achieving the Second Prison won't present any obstacles either."
