Free Web NovelChapter 57: The Red Lotus
"Then... does it have an environment or concepts suitable for the Cosmic Law of Life or the Cosmic Law of Derivation?"
"Yes, Sir. Inside the Eternal Path Hall, you’ll find environments suitable for the Cosmic Law of Life up to around the eighth level."
Lily replied confidently, but she soon frowned.
"However, the Cosmic Law of Derivation is one of the rarest Cosmic Laws, so you’ll only find an environment suitable for it up to around the sixth level."
She spoke with a hint of regret before smiling again.
"But I don’t think you’ll need the Cosmic Law of Derivation, Sir. Your Immortal bloodline already supports the Cosmic Law of Life, and there’s no benefit in dividing your attention among multiple laws. At the Wis Realm, the harm would far outweigh the benefits."
"Hmm."
Rios nodded and fell into thought.
He couldn’t tell her that his true primary law was actually the Law of Derivation, not the Law of Life. freёwebnovel.com
Nor could he reveal that his true body, as the Tree of Abyss, was naturally more compatible with the Cosmic Law of Derivation than the Cosmic Law of Life.
After thinking for a while, Rios looked at Lily.
"Does someone need any special skill or technique to comprehend a law before breaking through to Wis (4)?" freёweɓnovel.com
"No, Sir. There are three ways to comprehend a law."
"The first is a bloodline that supports that law, such as your own Life bloodline, Sir. By studying and meditating on that bloodline, one can gradually derive portions of its law—or even the complete law itself."
"The second is an environment that helps you comprehend that law by exposing you to it, allowing you to observe and understand it. That’s exactly what the Eternal Path Hall does. Certain special regions throughout the universe are also naturally rich in particular laws."
"As for the third... those are special law skills—more specifically, Law Comprehension Skills. By studying those skills, you learn how to manipulate energy in a way that imitates the desired law."
Rios listened quietly and attentively to Lily’s explanation before nodding.
Once she finished, Lily shrugged casually.
"Of course, possessing just one of these three is enough to comprehend a law. But the more you have, the better... and the faster your comprehension will become."
"Hmm."
Rios nodded, stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then looked back at Lily.
"Lily, where can I buy Law Comprehension Skills?"
"Unfortunately, Sir, the Eternal Night Palace doesn’t sell any skills under normal circumstances. Neither do the other five palaces."
Lily spoke apologetically.
Hearing that, Rios felt somewhat disappointed.
However, hope quickly returned to his eyes when Lily spoke again.
"But you can find the Law Skills you’re looking for in the palaces outside. Many organizations sell such skills. Just tell me which laws you want, and I’ll search for them."
Lily smiled proudly as she patted her chest.
After hearing the good news, Rios smiled.
After a brief moment of thought, he finally made his decision.
"I want skills related to these three laws...
Life.
Derivation.
And Stars."
"Searching immediately, Sir."
Lily looked upward. The pupils of her eyes disappeared, replaced by countless streams of data flowing across them.
A moment later, she smiled.
"I’ve found many organizations that sell skills related to those laws, Sir. Which one would you like to visit first? And would you like to walk there... or teleport directly?"
Lily placed her hands on her waist proudly.
"Oh? I can teleport directly?"
Rios was genuinely surprised.
"Yes, Sir. That’s a special privilege ordinary visitors don’t have. You can enjoy it because you have a Golden Assistant like me."
Lily proudly puffed out her chest.
If she had a nose, it would have pierced through The Eternal Night Heaven by now from how high she held it.
"Then take me to the most trustworthy one."
Rios nodded decisively.
"At once, Sir."
Lily waved her hand, and both she and Rios vanished from the Eternal Night Palace.
The two of them instantly appeared before a magnificent white palace adorned with countless carvings of red lotus flowers.
The moment they appeared, they attracted countless surprised and envious gazes.
"Look! Isn’t that a Golden Assistant?!"
The usual whispers spread among the passersby as they noticed Rios and Lily.
Rios paid them no attention and looked toward the name of the palace before him.
Red Lotus Empire Palace
"The Cosmic Red Lotus Empire, Sir, is famous for its honesty and the quality of its goods. I’m sure you’ll find something that satisfies you inside."
"Good. We’ll find out soon enough once we see their merchandise."
Rios nodded and walked into the palace.
"Oh! Welcome! Welcome, young sir! How may I serve you?"
The moment Rios entered the Red Lotus Palace, one of the attendants noticed both him and the Golden Assistant, immediately greeting him with exceptional enthusiasm.
"May I ask what the young sir is looking for? I’ll see whether I can be of assistance."
An old man with a long white mustache and a monocle stopped before Rios. He rubbed his hands together with a smile.
"And don’t worry, young sir. The Red Lotus Palace is well known for its honesty and the quality of its merchandise."
"I certainly hope so."
Rios nodded with a smile.
"Hahaha! Then your wish will soon come true, young sir."
The old man stepped aside and gestured toward the desk ahead.
"This way, please."
Rios walked forward, followed by Lily and the old man, until they arrived before a reception desk.
Seated behind it was a young woman with calm features and short hair.
When she saw Rios approaching with the old man behind him, she immediately straightened her posture, adjusted her robe, and bowed slightly.
"Welcome, Lord Anz. Did something happen on the third floor that brought you down here?"
"No. I was simply taking a walk when I happened to meet this young sir."
The old man, Anz, spoke in a formal tone as he gestured toward Rios.
"Take good care of him. Find out what he needs, fulfill his requests as quickly as possible, and don’t keep him waiting."
