After all, if one used resources to modify the physical body, then only a single avatar or the true body could use the amplitude secret technique.
If it was modifying the soul, that was a bit better.
After all, aside from Luo Fan, everyone else's avatars shared the same soul.
But in Luo Fan's case, even his souls were different.
This meant he could only use the manual-type amplitude secret technique.
As for resource-type methods, unless he purchased an enormous amount of resources so that both avatars and the true body could all undergo modification and increase their amplitude, he had no way to use them.
At this moment, the Blade of Tides King sighed again, his face full of discouragement.
"Sigh. If we cultivate an amplitude secret technique ourselves, it might be better to try comprehending the laws corresponding to the sixteenth level of the Sky-Piercing Bridge."
The Kaitian Venerable smiled with meaning.
"Heh, who said that? There is another method that can rapidly raise amplitude."
"And it can be used inside the Virtual Universe."
The Blade of Tides King looked puzzled, while Luo Fan seemed to have thought of something.
The Kaitian Venerable did not hesitate.
"Legacy."
"A God-General legacy."
The Blade of Tides King's eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something.
A slightly sinister grin appeared on his face.
"Heh, teacher… you mean that one?"
The Kaitian Venerable took out a small tower.
He led the Blade of Tides King and Luo Fan into it.
Luo Fan could clearly feel the powerful pressure emanating from the small tower.
This small tower was very likely a palace-type supreme treasure.
Once inside, the Kaitian Venerable set up several layers of protective barriers using divine power.
Then he looked at Luo Fan.
"Luo Fan, once you leave Chaos City, you must begin completing training missions."
"These are what all core cosmic-level geniuses must undertake."
Luo Fan immediately understood.
"In truth, these missions are one of the benefits the company provides."
"Each mission contains opportunities tailored for geniuses like you."
"Some opportunities are enough to make even me jealous."
"And recently, one such opportunity has opened, one that increases physical amplitude."
"Ahem, normally this is not something you should be told. After hearing it today, just pretend I never said it."
"There is a deadly-level mission called Demon Mountain."
"In the Cold-Ice Mountain range, there is an opportunity suited to you."
"I can only say this much. Anything more, I should not explain."
The Kaitian Venerable truly wanted Luo Fan to become the Ice Peak Lord's disciple.
But some rules could not be broken.
And those opportunities already belonged to someone.
As he spoke, he produced a piece of armor.
The armor was entirely black with faint blue secret patterns on its surface.
Luo Fan immediately recognized that it was forged from F9-grade metal, Black-Shine Iron Mother.
"Consider this my greeting gift to you," the Kaitian Venerable said.
"When you go on your cosmic-level mission, use it to protect yourself."
The Blade of Tides King was surprised to see the item.
The Kaitian Venerable explained its use.
This was a Mechanical-Race battle armor.
Unlike ordinary armor that merely weakened incoming attacks, Mechanical-Race armor could block all attacks outright.
The armor projected a shield powered by the energy core within it.
This F9-grade Mechanical-Race battle armor could withstand some attacks from an Immortal Army-Lord, but that was its limit.
Luo Fan was astonished.
A single set of such armor was more valuable than many armors used by Immortal experts.
After all, it could completely block attacks.
Within the Human Race, such armor was worth at least hundreds of millions of mixed-element units.
Humans did not possess Mechanical-Race technology and could only produce world-master-grade Mechanical-Race armor.
Thus, for Human experts, this armor was impractical, those who could afford it did not need it, and those who needed it could not afford it.
For the Human Race, it was a luxury item, but perfect as a gift for a junior.
Luo Fan accepted the armor respectfully and immediately created a task.
[Task: Obtain an F9-grade Mechanical Battle Armor. Reward: G9-grade Mechanical Battle Armor.]
"Thank you, Grand-Teacher," Luo Fan said.
The Kaitian Venerable nodded.
"When you go to Demon Mountain, make sure you wear this armor."
"If it becomes impossible, abandon the mission."
"If that happens, your teacher and I will think of other ways to speed up your law comprehension."
Luo Fan replied earnestly, "Yes."
The three then discussed other matters.
As a Universe Overlord, the Kaitian Venerable's knowledge and combat experience far exceeded the Blade of Tides King's.
He could answer any question from them with ease and point out flaws in their secret techniques sharply.
Time passed quickly, and only eight days remained before they left Chaos City.
After bidding farewell to the Blade of Tides King and the Kaitian Venerable, Luo Fan went to the City Lord's Mansion to comprehend the Ice Peak Chaos Stele one last time.
In truth, Luo Fan could have come to Chaos City even without reaching Domain Lord level.
For example, he could use an avatar to bid at an auction for entry qualifications into Chaos City, which would allow him to comprehend the Chaos Stele.
At over thirty thousand mixed-element units per entry, Luo Fan could buy as many slots as he wanted.
Soon, the moment of departure arrived.
"Prepare to depart!" a voice echoed in Luo Fan's mind.
He looked up and saw a massive deep-blue spacecraft shaped like a giant fish hovering above Chaos City.
Figures soared into the sky.
"They're leaving already?" Luo Fan said, and he flew up too.
More than eight hundred people from Chaos City headed toward the ship and entered through the belly door.
Inside the ship's lounge, the 808 young geniuses began chatting in familiar groups.
Some remained solitary and avoided others, such as the white-clothed youth carrying a blood-colored sword who always lingered at the edges alone.
When the Nine-Swords Venerable walked into the hall, the suffocating aura he emitted silenced everyone instantly.
