In the small courtyard, Qin Hao sat in the garden, not immediately beginning his cultivation.
He took out a small table, a chair, four plates of dried fruit, a pot of tea, and a tea set from his world ring, looking as leisurely as if on vacation.
As his mood gradually calmed, Qin Hao began to plan his upcoming cultivation.
His cultivation in the Ancestral God Tomb would be incredibly long; he might even spend thousands or tens of thousands of years there.
After all, the profundity of the Time Law and Space Law meant that even Qin Hao was unsure when he would reach the limit, fully comprehending all three directions of the Time Law and Space Law.
Furthermore, in addition to comprehending the Laws, to break through to World Lord Rank, he also needed to accelerate his cultivation of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, and at the same time, accelerate his breakthrough in the Visualization Method.
Each item would consume a large amount of time and energy, but none could be delayed.
The number of Undying on this layer was already considerable; those at World Lord Rank were genius-level, and even with Qin Hao, there were fewer than ten at Territory Lord Rank, each one a top-tier genius among the core members of various cosmic forces.
Then, entering the Third Layer was imaginable: Undying would certainly be the majority, World Lord Rank a very small minority, and Territory Lord Rank should basically not exist.
Qin Hao was unsure how many people were on the Fourth Layer and above, but there should be some, though not exceptionally many.
After all, on the Fourth Layer, one would have already fully comprehended one direction of either the Time Law or Space Law, with strength reaching King-Level.
The higher one went, the fewer the numbers would be, and the elimination would be even more severe.
He decided to temporarily slow down his Law comprehension and first break through to World Lord Rank.
World Lord Rank was the fastest stage for comprehending Laws; after breaking through, the speed of Time Law and Space Law comprehension would be even faster.
After breaking through to World Lord Rank, he would accelerate his cultivation of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram; the amount of resources was completely sufficient to break through two layers, allowing his gene level to reach 1080 times, which would be entirely sufficient for self-preservation in the Ancestral God Tomb.
The Visualization Method should also be able to make further breakthroughs at World Lord Rank, and his strength would further skyrocket.
If all went smoothly, after leaving the Ancestral God Tomb, his strength would definitely be top-tier among Champions.
While enjoying the scenery of the small courtyard, sipping tea, and eating dried fruit, Qin Hao made a simple plan for his upcoming cultivation, prioritizing his training.
Originally, the time was approaching for the Virtual Universe Corporation's qualification battle, but Qin Hao had already broken through to Territory Lord Rank and did not need to participate in the Universe Rank qualification battle; the next Territory Lord Rank qualification battle was still some time away, so Qin Hao had plenty of time.
In fact, Qin Hao might even break through to World Lord Rank before the next qualification battle.
However, Qin Hao was quite annoyed that before breaking through to Territory Lord Rank, he had forgotten to challenge the Universe Rank Primitive Tongtian Mountain, missing out on 100 million points.
Now, he was still a bit short of being able to challenge the Territory Lord Rank Primitive Tongtian Mountain; at the very least, his strength needed to be comparable to Heavenly Bridge's 15th Layer, which Qin Hao was not far from, and it would be no problem before breaking through to World Lord Rank.
After a leisurely day, Qin Hao's figure directly disappeared from his spot, entering the Jiang Lan Realm for deep seclusion.
All 365 of his acupoints fully opened, continuously devouring cosmic energy, and his three great dantian within his body seemed to transform into a massive black hole, constantly drawing energy into his life core.
At the same time, in Qin Hao's sea of consciousness, Dream Enlightenment was also directly put into practice, with a portion of his mind entering a illusory world for deep comprehension.
After entering Territory Lord Rank, Qin Hao had become increasingly proficient in using Dream Enlightenment.
The improvement in Law comprehension and strength made the illusory world more realistic, and his application of the Ten Great Laws became more skilled.
Qin Hao entered a long period of cultivation, feeling his life core slowly change and transform, while Dream Enlightenment continuously accumulated his comprehension of the Time Law and Space Law.
Every so often, Qin Hao would also emerge from the Jiang Lan Realm, using the environment of the Ancestral God Tomb to convert his accumulated comprehension of the Time Law and Space Law into Law comprehension.
Furthermore, he would enter the Nine Heavens Palace for comprehension and cultivation.
All of Qin Hao's time was meticulously scheduled; almost every moment, Qin Hao's strength was rapidly improving.
Shortly after Qin Hao entered deep cultivation, the Virtual Universe Corporation's core Universe Rank qualification battle also began.
"Qin Hao didn't participate in the qualification battle, did something happen?"
"I don't know, I heard he took on a mission and isn't in Wu Chen Space-time."
"Could it be that he can't enter the Virtual Universe during the mission?"
"Then isn't he going to lose his qualification as a Primitive Mystical Region member?"
"He must have already broken through to Territory Lord Rank, otherwise it's impossible he'd miss the registration."
"But I haven't heard of his assignment to an external post."
"He probably broke through during the mission."
"What kind of mission would force Qin Hao to break through to Territory Lord Rank to handle it?"
When the qualification battle began, Qin Hao's absence attracted considerable attention and speculation.
After all, as the first place winner of the new Genius Battle and the new symbol of genius for the Virtual Universe Corporation, his qualification battle drew a lot of attention.
"I wonder what Qin Hao encountered?" Luo Feng didn't see Qin Hao's figure and felt a bit worried.
"Alright, Qin Hao doesn't need you to worry about him," Babata said from the side, "His Law comprehension at Universe Rank is already so high, and his life-saving methods are so strong; ordinary people can't pose a threat to him at all."
The qualification battle proceeded as scheduled, and Luo Feng and Bolan successfully remained in the Primitive Mystical Region based on their strength.
After all, when they left the Primal Universe, they had already passed the Heavenly Bridge's Seventh Layer, and now they were not far from the Eighth Layer; their strength among the Universe Rank members of the Primitive Mystical Region was not weak.
Compared to the two, among the members of this Genius Battle in the Highest Beginning Mythical Region, only Rong Jun retained his position, while the others were eliminated to the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.
And Hong and Thunder God, who were originally in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, directly charged into the Highest Beginning Mythical Region.
After the qualification battle ended, the reason for Qin Hao's absence became known to everyone: he had actually broken through to Territory Lord Rank.
Everyone expressed great surprise, as there were still so many benefits at Universe Rank, but at Territory Lord Rank, one would be dispatched externally.
In the Virtual Universe, within the Primitive Mystical Region manor, Qin Hao's figure appeared in the reception hall.
"Senior Brother, may I ask what you need from me?" Qin Hao asked, looking at Guiyi Venerable in the reception hall.
"I heard you broke through to Territory Lord Rank. I came to ask if you encountered any trouble?" Guiyi Venerable asked.
"No danger, I was on a mission on Viska Star and entered the Ancestral God Tomb. I just reached the Second Layer, and my Universe Rank strength was insufficient, so I just broke through to Territory Lord Rank. I should be staying there for a long time," Qin Hao explained his situation.
