Tao, Bai Lufeng, and Yan Zaizen were currently situated in a residential area within the Anima Syndicate Headquarters. Surprisingly, the organization actually had rooms like this for their Lieutenants and Commanders. With his upgrade in title-rank, he was capable of utilizing it with Tao and Bai Lufeng. He was also capable of inducting them as Anima Initiates, allowing them some access in the organization during their stay.

”So, we'll be staying here for three years?” Bai Lufeng asked, his eyes flickering with an indiscernible emotion. However, Yan Zaizen could understand his thoughts. He saw the same type of emotion fluttering through Tao's eyes as well. It was reluctance! Having arrived at the Xiantu Continent, they wanted to explore the outside world.

This emotion may be temporary, but it made sense. The Dead Soul Desert alone was fascinating, who knew what other miraculous areas this continent had? As an individual with the lowest time alive, he didn't have their intense desire to travel at first light.

He had many years to live, after all.

He could afford to take it slow. Not to mention, he truly wanted to peruse the archives of the Anima Syndicate! If he could gain experience, knowledge or train in his arts wouldn't his cultivation in general benefit? As the most inexperienced, he was also the weakest in terms of progression in arts. Disregarding his profound soul and body cultivation base, his arts were still at its lowest mastery.

”How about this: Both of you travel the Xiantu Continent, gather information, establish connections, and go sightseeing. I'll join you after Wu Yuanxu is revived.” Bai Lufeng's eyes shone with excitement. Tao, however, had a complex gaze. In truth, he wished to travel the myriad realms with Yan Zaizen.

Just as he was about to shake his head, Yan Zaizen interrupted, ”I know you're reluctant to stay, also reluctant to go, but I need you to gather detailed information about the Xiantu Realm that couldn't be obtained normally. That way, I avoid offending those I shouldn't offend. Also, I said the myriad realms. Not just a single continent.”

Yan Zaizen remembered his promise clearly, and he also held some reluctance within his heart about the situation. However, he understood his priorities. His increase in art mastery and experience was a must! He also had other plans as well, plans where Tao could not follow him.

Tao's eyes flickered with refusal but after several days of convincing, he finally agreed. Bai Lufeng, however, required no convincing. He was ready to explore the outside world, meet the varied women of the continent, drink grand wine, and see the sights!

After handing them the Heretical Lightning Skyship, wealth with resources and his well-wishes, he saw them off. They had his spiritual sense infused with his Mortal Dao on them, so even if they met an initial-True Essence expert, they should be safe.

As for this Mortal Dao of his, he couldn't help but be a little surprised as he learned more about it. The Mortal Daos could be divided into three tiers: lower-tier, middle-tier, and upper-tier. Depending on the type of dao, the fusion of daos, and quality of said daos, it could be classified as one of those tiers.

His Dao of Sovereign Ascension was an upper-tier Mortal Dao!

After merging six daos together, which was an exceedingly high amount to begin with, it could be considered as the highest form of Mortal Dao possible. It seems that if he had returned home, it's likely his dao would've formulated right then and there as the Dao of Imperial Ferocity. This would've been considered a peak lower-tier dao.

Both fortunately and unfortunately, his experiences left him with a dao of the highest tier. With this, he felt it was a little worth it to experience all those things. At least, emotionally, he didn't lack experience.

”Let's begin!”

Within chaotic space, Yan Zaizen sat stably in the lotus position, reading a book with rapt attention. Floating in chaotic space were dozens of other books and scrolls. They rotated around him as if within some special domain protecting them from the ripping force of chaotic space. His hands held two low-grade essence crystals to recover his qi as needed. With his Herculean Physique, he could drain and convert this essence into qi-essence within minutes. Luckily, with his low cultivation base, one crystal was enough to fill him several times over.

His amber-gold eyes now contained an intelligent gleam within, something he clearly lacked before. Even his aura was much more reserved.

It's been two years, no, sixty years for him, since Tao and Bai Lufeng's departure. Within chaotic space, he experienced sixty years in a mere two of the outside world. By harnessing his conceptual law of space, he could stay within chaotic space's odd time flow for extended periods.

Over the course of these sixty years, he's read a myriad of cultivation notes from his predecessors in regards to the soul, to cultivation arts in general, and practiced them diligently. His knowledge of the myriad realms was greatly supplemented by records within the Anima Syndicate. Even his cultivation advancement was extraordinary.

The most notable change had to do with his laws. The Spatial Form of Infinite Stability had reached the Initial Manifestation-level, breaking a barrier that was exceptionally difficult. His extended stay in chaotic space enabled him to perceive incredible insights. It wasn't the only one. By refining the inky black wood and white flame, Yan Zaizen allowed his physique to contain the highest form of the conceptual law.
