“She’s so much trouble!” In the Star Palace Main Hall, Qin Hao watched Qin Ying continuously pluck flowers and plants along the way, a hint of helplessness on his face.
It wasn’t that he blamed his younger sister, but that after thousands of years, she was still so childish. However, what filled his heart more was a sigh of Feelings, that after thousands of years, everything seemed to have changed, and yet nothing had changed.
He still remembered when he first became a martial artist, his younger sister was still a small child, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed. His strength was no longer what it once was, and the status of his family members was also no longer what it once was. For his younger sister to still possess such childlike innocence now, everything he had done was worth it.
Furthermore, most of the various flowers and plants in this Star Palace were plants Qin Hao had collected from the Universe. Although many were rare species, most were relatively common. It was merely that under the influence of the Star Palace's rich energy and Laws, they had mutated, becoming different from their original species.
Stepping over the long staircase, Qin Ying and Gan Wu Country Lord quickly arrived in the central Main Hall, led by the Demon Clan Venerable.
“My master is in the hall, please enter, both of you!” Saying that, the Demon Clan Venerable respectfully bowed towards the Main Hall, then stepped down the stairs, returning to his position.
Qin Ying and Gan Wu Country Lord continued forward, stepping into the grand hall.
Upon entering the hall, the rich Universe energy and even clearer Laws caused Qin Ying and Gan Wu Country Lord to involuntarily immerse themselves within it. As the Star Palace Main Hall was the core of the entire palace complex, the Universe energy was so rich that it had solidified, yet it was constrained by a strange power, without the slightest dissipation.
The clarity of the Laws was also far beyond the outer areas, reaching more than a thousand times the normal level of the Primordial Universe, allowing one to even clearly see the pathways of Law operation.
Qin Ying quickly became immersed. As a World Lord, it was precisely the time when she was most sensitive to Laws. Seeing the clear Laws around her, she couldn’t help but enter a state of cultivation.
Gan Wu Country Lord, on the other hand, was relatively better. He quickly awoke from his immersion, looked towards Qin Hao’s position in the center of the hall, stepped forward, and came to the foot of the stone steps, bowing respectfully.
“Greetings, Palace Lord!” Compared to the last time he saw Qin Hao, the shock Qin Hao brought him this time was even greater: the faint aura around him, the power he exuded casually, and the Laws enveloping the surroundings.
Every detail proclaimed the power of the person before him, who was countless times stronger than when he had seen him last. He was even much stronger than most of the Universe Lords he had met.
It should be known that as a seasoned powerhouse, Gan Wu Country Lord had basically met all of the Human Race’s Universe Lords, whether in reality or in the Virtual Universe, he had seen these powerhouses.
However, compared to Qin Hao before him, only a handful of individuals could stand comparison.
“Gan Wu, there’s no need for such formality!” As he spoke, a powerful energy directly stopped Gan Wu Country Lord, who was bowing. “You and I are old acquaintances, and what’s more, my younger sister is your disciple, so let’s not bother with these formalities.”
Saying that, a huge throne appeared beside Gan Wu Country Lord, and Qin Hao gestured for Gan Wu Country Lord to sit down.
Although Qin Hao spoke this way and was very polite to Gan Wu Country Lord, Gan Wu Country Lord still sat down cautiously. As Qin Ying’s teacher, he also knew Qin Hao’s temperament. The two had met several times and communicated well, but respect for the strong was essential.
The relationship between them was neither very close nor very distant; a single misstep could cause an impact.
After taking their seats, the two began to converse. Besides their understanding of Laws, most of the conversation revolved around Qin Ying. Qin Hao was also very concerned about Qin Ying’s cultivation, training, and experiences. Although he had always paid attention, it was relatively limited, and he only knew some of her experiences.
As for her cultivation, Gan Wu Country Lord, as her teacher, knew much more. The content of their conversation quickly opened up around Qin Ying, and the topics gradually became more extensive.
“Brother, Teacher, what are you two talking about? You’ve been talking for so long and didn’t even call me first!” Qin Ying’s voice came, and she quickly walked over, a hint of playful resentment in her tone.
“Alright, sit down first.” Saying that, another seat appeared in the grand hall, though this seat was much simpler compared to the other two. Although Qin Hao doted on his younger sister, he couldn’t be too indulgent.
“I was discussing your cultivation issues with your teacher. For the next period, you and your teacher will cultivate here with me,” Qin Hao said.
The cultivation environment in Star Palace now was considered top-tier in the entire Universe. The rich Universe energy, clear Laws, plus the Fusion Laws inheritances contained within each palace and the corresponding Laws condensed, even the Primordial Chaos City of Virtual Universe Corporation would be a step behind.
However, the space within Star Palace was ultimately limited. Qin Hao could only allow some of his subordinates and a close group of people to enter and cultivate there.
Currently, only his disciple Rocas and numerous Star Gods were cultivating there. Even the various alien races he had enslaved still cultivated in the original Purple Firmament Palace.
Qin Hao had also perfected many of the inheritances within the Purple Firmament Palace, and the path of Fusion Laws had been completely filled in, which was entirely sufficient for those enslaved individuals to comprehend and cultivate.
Qin Hao had originally wanted to bring his parents into Star Palace to cultivate, but their enthusiasm for cultivation was not high. Furthermore, the content involved in Star Palace itself was very profound, so Qin Hao did not force them.
“Thank you, Palace Lord!” Upon hearing this, Gan Wu Country Lord couldn’t help but stand up again.
Since entering Star Palace, he had already sensed the difference in this palace complex. The Law aura rising from each palace, the interweaving Law patterns, plus the nine great inheritances Qin Hao had perfected in Primordial Chaos City.
He knew that this palace complex was not only a powerful supreme treasure but also a rare place for cultivation. For him, whose strength had not improved for countless years, perhaps here his strength could be further enhanced, even touching the level of a Universe Overlord.
Although there was only a fine line between a High-Tier Exalt and a Universe Overlord, and in terms of major realms, they were at the same level. However, in terms of strength and the importance placed on them by their race, they were completely different.
Universe Exalts were the backbone of a race, while Universe Overlords were the ace cards of a race, the strongest combat power that could be resurrected. If any fallen Universe Overlord had a chance to be resurrected, the race would choose to spend resources to prioritize their resurrection.
After all, a powerful Universe Overlord’s strength could even rival some low-tier Universe Lords, allowing them to fight without restraint, and their strategic significance far exceeded that of ordinary Exalts.
