Fifty years passed in a flash, and Qin Hao, who was on Earth, felt incredibly peaceful.
Although there wasn't much progress in the Time Law and Space Law, all eight Lower Laws had improved considerably.
Qin Hao also discovered that as his mind calmed, the difficulty of comprehending the laws gradually decreased, as if returning to one's true self.
In these fifty years, Qin Hao also reviewed his experiences over the past few centuries.
There were some thrilling moments, but more often, he was in a cultivation state, his strength increasing significantly, yet the monotony of cultivation made Qin Hao feel a sense of loneliness in his heart.
This also made Qin Hao feel that his mindset had issues, leading him to choose to return to Earth.
After all, decades of almost continuous cultivation in the Canglan Realm, coupled with the chaotic insights from Dream Enlightenment, would affect anyone.
Although the current impact was slight, as time passed, it would become more severe, even greatly affecting his comprehension of laws.
After fifty years of purification, Qin Hao finally adapted to the changes within him.
His days were peaceful and ordinary, yet he returned to that most real, most fundamental feeling, as if he had also found the sensation he had when he constantly pushed himself to pursue and break through limits.
"A spaceship has entered Earth?"
Qin Hao's figure instantly vanished from his original spot, reappearing in space.
A spaceship was hovering in Earth's outer space, its hatch open, and a person walked out of the ship.
"Luo Feng?! Why are you back?"
Looking at Luo Feng, who had just stepped out, Qin Hao couldn't help but ask in surprise.
For hundreds of years, Luo Feng had been cultivating in the Primitive Mystical Region, constantly undertaking missions and continuously increasing his strength.
He hadn't rapidly broken through to Territory Lord Rank and been assigned to an outside post, as in the original novel, but rather had been continuously strengthening himself using the Virtual Universe Corporation's resources.
The last time he saw Luo Feng, his comprehension of laws had already surpassed most of the Territory Lords in the Primitive Mystical Region.
"How could you bear to break through to Territory Lord?"
Seeing through Luo Feng's current strength at a glance, Qin Hao was also very curious.
According to the original novel, at this point in time, Luo Feng had already broken through to Territory Lord Rank for several hundred years, entered the Primal Universe for cultivation, and was almost taken as a registered disciple by Primordial Chaos City Lord.
However, although Luo Feng's breakthrough was delayed by several hundred years, his overall strength was still similar, even a bit stronger.
"I don't want you to pull too far ahead; after all, World Lord Rank is the fastest stage for comprehending laws," Luo Feng said.
He had also heard that Qin Hao had passed the Heavenly Bridge's twentieth level and the Primitive Tongtian Mountain, and then chose to break through to Territory Lord.
Among the Universe Rank members in the Primitive Mystical Region, Luo Feng's strength was already the strongest, and he had no opponents left.
But he didn't expect that Qin Hao had already pulled so far ahead of him.
"Now is not necessarily a good time; the Territory Lord Rank qualification battle is coming soon, which should be no problem for you.
However, you should now be assigned to the Ganwu Universe Country; I suggest you let your Golden-Horned Beast go to Lazio World."
Qin Hao said, offering his suggestion.
Lazio World was the home of the Golden-Horned Beast race and one of Luo Feng's opportunities; there, the Golden-Horned Beast broke through to World Lord and gained the acknowledgment of the Source Law.
As for the highest-scoring mission arranged by the Virtual Universe for Luo Feng, Qin Hao didn't care.
It was called a scoring mission, but it was actually a test, a test of the core members' character and their stance on handling problems.
Luo Feng would eventually face the fate of judging his own family members.
After a brief conversation with Luo Feng, Qin Hao didn't linger and returned directly to his villa.
The Qin Family actually had their own bases and residences, but for Qin Hao, the concept of home was, first, the original communal building, which had now been renovated, and second, the current villa he lived in, which marked the beginning of his family's improved life.
After returning home, Qin Hao resumed his original life.
He spent time with his parents, refined artifacts, and comprehended formations.
However, Luo Feng would occasionally come to Qin Hao, asking about cultivation problems.
Qin Hao also discovered that Luo Feng had actually begun the fusion of Gold-Space Laws; although not deep, he had made good progress.
Besides answering Luo Feng's questions, Qin Hao also performed Dream Enlightenment for Luo Feng several times, adding some speed to Luo Feng's cultivation.
As for what changes the future would hold, Qin Hao no longer considered it too much.
"Qin Hao, what is this?"
Luo Feng entered Qin Hao's home, placed a palm-sized metal plate on the table, and asked.
Qin Hao looked at the palm-sized metal plate in front of him: it had six sides, the longest side measuring 11.2 centimeters, the shortest 3.1 centimeters, and it weighed as much as a pencil.
"Nine Calamities Secret Canon?!"
After examining it, Qin Hao had a judgment about the metal plate in front of him.
It was indeed the Nine Calamities Secret Canon from Earth, and it was the first piece of the Nine Calamities Secret Canon, which could increase one's genetic level by three times.
As a secret method created by Zuo Shanke, the Nine Calamities Secret Canon, which could enhance genes, were suppressed by the Primordial Universe's laws, and their content was erased in the bottomless pit.
Carried by the Heavenly Soul Crystal, only humans of the Earth lineage who could withstand the illusion test could obtain this secret method from the Heavenly Soul Crystal.
And it could only be inherited once; as long as the cultivator was alive, it could not be passed on to a second cultivator.
Seeing the Nine Calamities Secret Canon before him, Qin Hao couldn't help but lament the power of fate.
Or perhaps not just fate, but also the future image of Luo Feng.
Just like the legendary Great Luo Golden Immortals, transcending the river of time, bringing everything together within themselves.
Even if someone went back to the past, they could not erase him or affect his growth.
"I don't know what kind of metal it is either, but it's so unique that there must be some secret to it.
You can try to explore it; it might be your opportunity," Qin Hao said vaguely, while guiding Luo Feng to explore the secret of the Heavenly Soul Crystal.
Qin Hao was also very curious about the Heavenly Soul Crystal, but on one hand, it was Luo Feng's opportunity, and he would not destroy it; on the other hand, behind the Heavenly Soul Crystal was Zuo Shanke, a former God King level powerhouse.
Under the circumstances of insufficient strength, Qin Hao was not prepared to establish contact with Zuo Shanke, much less interact with him.
As for whether Luo Feng obtained the Nine Calamities Secret Canon or cultivated them later, Qin Hao no longer paid attention.
He had already entered the final bottleneck in artifact refining and was about to break through.
As early as in the Ancestral God Tomb, Qin Hao was already able to refine six-tier divine weapons used by Undying, still a distance away from refining treasures.
Now, after decades of research on Earth and tens of thousands of years in the Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Hao had integrated some of the artifact concepts and formations from his previous life into artifact refining, getting closer and closer to refining treasures.
