Chapter 71 Alfred

An immense pressure descended instantly, like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts.

The oppressive aura was vast and profound, as if the heavens and earth themselves had become solemn at this moment. The many geniuses and powerful figures in the Heavenly Star Dojo instantly fell silent to show their respect for the four-star Heavenly Star cultivator.

For a moment, the entire square was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Then everyone turned to look, their eyes all fixed on the same direction.

An elderly man in a golden robe was seen walking towards the center of the square. His steps seemed unhurried, but in fact, they were as fast as lightning. With one stride, he was already several kilometers away, as if the earth had shrunk beneath his feet.

On the chest of the old man's golden robe, four purple stars were embroidered. The purple stars stood out against the golden robe, emitting a faint purple halo.

This signifies his status as a four-star celestial being, earning him the utmost respect from everyone.

After all, there is not a single four-star Celestial Realm cultivator in the entire Golden Lion Starfield.

Immortal gods are super beings that surpass even world lords, possessing eternal life and boundless power.

"It's that four-star Celestial Being!"

"His aura is truly terrifying; no wonder he's an immortal god with eternal life!"

"I once met the patriarch of the Golden Lion Empire, and even his aura wasn't as strong as this four-star Celestial Realm expert!"

After this four-star Celestial Being appeared, hushed whispers quickly arose in a small area.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, "Alfred, the four-star Celestial Star Master of the Celestial Star Dojo," quickly walked to the high platform in the center of the square.

When he stood on the high platform, his aura rose even higher, as if he had merged with the platform and become the center of the entire square.

Looking down at the many cultivators waiting to listen to the lecture, Alfred's self-light swept across their faces, some young and some weathered, and a strange emotion welled up in his heart.

These practitioners came from different places, with different backgrounds and experiences, but at this moment they all gathered here, hoping to gain something from his explanation.

Alfred himself is an instructor within the Heavenly Star Holy Land, responsible for guiding the cultivation of the geniuses within the Heavenly Star Holy Land. This time, he is holding open classes in various star regions because of a mission from the Heavenly Star Holy Land.

The territory of the Tianxing Universe Kingdom is truly vast. Apart from some directly subordinate core star regions, there are thousands of other star regions similar to the Golden Lion Star Region.

Places like the Golden Lion Starfield can only be considered remote corners in the entire universe.

These places have limited cultivation resources and weak teaching power, so many cultivators can only rely on their own exploration and have taken countless detours.

As the most powerful training base for cultivators under the rule of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, the Heavenly Star Holy Land has the responsibility and obligation to help these cultivators, allowing them to avoid some detours and have more opportunities for progress.

However, simply delivering a public lecture across all these star systems would require an extremely long period of time.

Thousands of star systems, and if each star system spans ten years, that's tens of thousands of years.

Fortunately, immortal gods all possess eternal lifespans. Tens of thousands of years is an unimaginable long time for ordinary people, but for them, it is just a blink of an eye.

They have enough patience and enough time to travel to each star system and talk to each one.

Moreover, Alfred's ability to deliver public lectures in these star systems fulfills the mission of the Celestial Sacred Ground, thus earning him significant contributions, which is a considerable fortune for him.

"However, going from one star system to another is just too troublesome!"

Alfred couldn't help but think to himself, "If only we could hold open classes in a virtual universe, then all the powerful figures within the entire Heavenly Star Holy Land could attend those classes!"

In that case, he would only need to speak once, and all the cultivators in the star field would be able to hear it, saving both time and effort, and increasing efficiency many times over.

Of course, this incredible idea only occasionally flashed through Alfred's mind; he himself didn't think it was possible for it to come true.

After all, the larger the scope of these virtual worlds built by intelligent life, the fewer functions they can achieve, and the worse the experience becomes.

In some specially crafted virtual worlds, such as the Trial Tower in Tianzhu Mountain, cultivators whose consciousness enters can even unleash their own domains or even their primordial laws to defeat their opponents.

This virtual world is powerful and offers a realistic experience, almost indistinguishable from the real world.

However, such a virtual world is very small in scope, and cannot even cover a single planet with life!

Virtual worlds that cover an entire galaxy or even a star field can only provide basic communication.

This large-scale virtual world has extremely limited functionality, only capable of enabling the most basic information transmission.

Not long ago, a virtual universe that could span all of humanity's territories and even include battlefields outside the region suddenly appeared, allowing cultivators to enter it and transform into human form to communicate freely. In Alfred's eyes, this was already an extremely incredible thing.

The emergence of the virtual universe has completely changed the way human beings communicate, allowing people separated by countless light-years to talk as if face-to-face, which was unimaginable before.

As far as he knew, even the most technologically advanced mechanical race, whose expertise in virtual technology far surpassed that of humans, had not developed a virtual universe capable of covering the entire territory.

If a virtual universe could allow cultivators to improve their combat skills by entering it, just like those trial towers, or even allow them to explain and cultivate the fundamental laws within it, that would be nothing short of a fantasy!

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through Alfred's mind for a moment.

What he needs to do most now is to focus on the present and explain to the cultivators present the mysteries of the Earth Domain and the fundamental laws of Earth that he has been studying for ten years.

He will receive two thousand contribution points if he can complete this explanation.

Two thousand contribution points may not sound like much, but for Alfred, it's a considerable income.

It's important to know that within the Heavenly Star Holy Land, these contribution points are completely equivalent to cosmic currency.

Within the Celestial Star Holy Land, one point of contribution is almost equivalent to one hundred million universe coins, and two thousand points of contribution are equivalent to two hundred billion universe coins.

An immortal deity who gives a public lecture for ten years can only earn 200 billion cosmic coins, equivalent to 0.2 Chaos Units. This doesn't seem like a good job.

But in reality, immortal gods have lifespans that are practically endless.

If one gains 0.2 Chaos Units in ten years, then in 100,000 years one would gain 2,000 Chaos Units, and in 1 million years one would gain 20,000 Chaos Units. This is almost equivalent to the entire fortune of an ordinary immortal god.

Immortal gods have no shortage of time, and daily tasks like his, which allow them to accumulate a large amount of wealth over time as long as they are willing to spend time, are extremely rare.

In fact, Alfred was able to obtain such a task because he had a very good understanding of the Earth Domain and the fundamental laws of Earth, and his teacher was also a Marquis-level Immortal. Otherwise, such a task would never have been his turn.

In the Celestial Star Holy Land, all kinds of good missions are highly competitive, and only those who are truly capable and have connections can obtain the best missions.

Moreover, within the Celestial Star Holy Land, contribution points are far more useful than cosmic coins.

Within the Celestial Star Holy Land, exchanging contribution points for cosmic coins is very simple; as long as you are willing, there will always be someone willing to exchange with you.

However, exchanging Cosmic Coins for Contribution Points requires extremely high privileges.

Ordinary cultivators, no matter how much cosmic currency they have, will find it difficult to exchange for contribution points.

As for some precious resources within the Heavenly Star Holy Land, even if you have enough Cosmic Coins, you simply cannot buy them. However, as long as you have enough Contribution Points, you can exchange for anything.

Thinking of this, Alfred quickly looked down at the group of cultivators below, his voice loud and clear, echoing throughout the plaza: "My public lectures will last for ten years. During these ten years, you are free to leave or come to listen, but please remember not to disturb others!"

"What I will explain first is the many mysteries contained within the Earth Domain! Everyone thinks the fundamental laws of Earth are unfathomable, but the Earth Domain is the foundation. The stronger your foundation, the greater your chances of crossing the threshold of the fundamental laws of Earth in the future!"

At this point, Alfred reached out and pointed into the air, his slender fingers lightly touching the surface.

Soon after, numerous complex runes appeared in the void above Alfred. These runes were earthy yellow, intricate and mysterious, like patterns naturally formed between heaven and earth.

"The profound mystery of the first level of this Earth Realm should be like this—"

As Alfred's voice rang out, the complex earthen-yellow runes in mid-air instantly began to slowly rotate, intertwine, and change in the void. The profound, steady, and all-encompassing meaning was clearly conveyed to everyone's heart through those runes.

Among the many cultivators listening to the lecture, some celestial and cosmic-level cultivators who hadn't even grasped the Earth Domain seemed to have gained some understanding, yet also seemed to have gained nothing at all.

They frowned, trying hard to understand the profound meaning contained in those secret patterns, but it felt like looking at something through a veil, blurry and unclear.

Those cultivators who had already comprehended the Earth Domain all had some insights at this time, and the insights they gained were naturally different depending on their own level!

The higher one's level of understanding, the more and deeper one can comprehend from it.

Those cultivators who were stuck at the first or second level of the domain felt that their bottlenecks seemed to have loosened a bit;

Those who have reached the seventh or eighth level of the domain can see deeper changes from the changes in those secret patterns.

On the third day of Alfred's explanation of the Earth Realm—

hum!

As a strange fluctuation rang out, wisps of earthy yellow energy suddenly emanated from the body of a ninth-level cosmic cultivator below!

After these wisps of earthy yellow energy appeared, the eyes of everyone around this cosmic-level cultivator quickly focused on him, and some even looked on with envy.

Because they knew very well that the yellowish-brown aura was the outward manifestation of the initial formation of a domain, meaning that this cultivator had finally crossed the threshold that had troubled him for so long and entered the realm of domains.

The cosmic-level cultivator who had entered the Earth Realm was also incredibly excited.

You should know that he has been cultivating for nearly 90,000 years.

Over the long span of ninety thousand years, he went from a spirited young man to an old man, yet he still hadn't comprehended the Earth Domain.

It is important to know that having a domain is one of the conditions for entering the domain master level.

A cosmic-level cultivator who has comprehended a domain may not necessarily be able to break through to the domain lord level, but a cosmic-level cultivator who has not comprehended a domain is simply unable to step into the domain lord level.

This time, a four-star Celestial Being came to the Golden Lion Starfield to give a public lecture. Now facing the end of his lifespan, he came to listen to the lecture with a try-it-out attitude, and unexpectedly, he actually successfully stepped into the realm!

Ninety thousand years of accumulation have finally blossomed and borne fruit at this moment.

He wanted to roar to the sky, to tell everyone that he had broken through, and to share his excitement with everyone.

But he knew it was not the right time; the immortal deity was still lecturing up there, and he could not do anything disrespectful.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his excitement, and continued to listen attentively.

On the eighteenth day after Alfred explained the Earth Domain, another star-level genius successfully comprehended the Earth Domain.

This genius's breakthrough is far more remarkable than that of the previous cosmic-level cultivator who had cultivated for over 90,000 years.

After all, even if that cosmic-level cultivator successfully entered the Domain Realm, he would still be quite ordinary among experts of the same level.

-

However, this cultivator at the Hengxing level could leap into the ranks of super geniuses at the Hengxing level, and even have the opportunity to become a first-level elite of a major power like Tianzhu Mountain!

And so, during the explanation by this "Four-Star Celestial Alfred," people would break through every now and then.

However, most of these cultivators who broke through had already accumulated sufficient knowledge and skills beforehand, and then took advantage of this rare opportunity to break through to the first or second level of the Domain.

As for breakthroughs beyond the third level of the domain, they are extremely rare.

After all, the path of cultivation becomes more and more difficult as you progress. The higher your realm, the more effort you need to put in to break through.

Lu Qingshan, who was listening to the lecture below, paid no attention to any of this. Even though there were powerful people breaking through nearby, it did not attract his attention at all.

Lu Qingshan was now completely absorbed in Alfred's explanation of the Earth Domain.
