After leaving the Thunder Emperor's cave dwelling, Wan Lei left plenty of ingredients for Kaka and instructed him to eat as needed, without overeating.
Kaka looked up and replied,
"Hungry..."
You damn...
Let him starve then. No one will care for him after he finishes eating. Everyone has already left.
Wan Lei exited the cave and headed straight for the Creation Tower.
Upon entering the Creation Tower, he went directly to the hundredth level.
There was no door or opponent before him. For a player who had cleared all levels, the Creation Tower had become a pure place for cultivation.
Wan Lei closed his eyes, his divine sense completely released. The Dao of Order was activated, and he poured all his attention into comprehending the order within the laws of the universe.
The so-called supreme Dao techniques were fundamental universal rule-based Dao techniques. Only great Daos had a chance to comprehend them successfully.
For example, the Dao of the Sword, the Dao of Water, the Dao of Fire, the Dao of Space, the Dao of Light, and so on…
However, not all great Daos were the same.
The Dao techniques mentioned above were almost all tangible things. Water, fire, and light were relatively easy to communicate with and comprehend.
But Dao techniques such as Creation, Destruction, Beginning and End, and Rules were extremely difficult because they were invisible and intangible. One wouldn't even know where to begin to communicate with them within the infinite universal laws.
Yet, these fundamental laws were the strongest and most profound.
Therefore, in the Dao technique rankings of the Merit Hall, the Dao of Darkness and the Dao of Light were ranked below the other four.
Wan Lei's Dao of Order was a profound and mystical Dao technique, similar to Rules and Beginning and End. It could only be comprehended through personal effort. The depth of comprehension depended entirely on one's own fortune; external forces could hardly provide assistance.
Perhaps one day, with a flash of inspiration, there would be an epiphany, or perhaps one might sit for a thousand or ten thousand years without any progress.
This was why the Creation Tower, the foremost cultivation holy land in the main plane, possessed complete rule-based Dao techniques and could aid in comprehension and increase speed. In the outside world, it was nearly impossible for cultivators to comprehend such Dao techniques.
They could only choose minor Daos like dripping water, cold ice, metal and stone, or burning sky.
Many cultivators from various realms in the outside world longed to obtain some merits to exchange for the qualification to cultivate briefly in the Creation Tower of the Five Elements Hall.
As for the disciples of the Five Elements Hall, they could enter and cultivate without restriction.
This was precisely why so many people yearned to join the Five Elements Hall.
Some desired power, some desired resources, some desired cultivation techniques, and some wanted to comprehend. The Five Elements Hall could provide everything anyone desired.
But the threshold was also very high.
Wan Lei spent the entire day sitting cross-legged, completely immersed in comprehension and cultivation. This cultivation experience was much better than the previous one.
Last time, his cultivation could not exceed one day at a time. Upon opening a door and entering the next level, he had to throw a punch to continue cultivating, which was incredibly annoying.
It was much better like this, a deep immersion. Nothing was more enjoyable, and no one was there to disturb him…
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep…
Wan Lei's communication device rang urgently, pulling him out of his immersive cultivation.
He sighed. No wonder Little Jin had said that it was best to turn off the spirit communication device when going into secluded cultivation. Otherwise, you would never be able to cultivate properly.
He took out his spirit communication device. It showed an incoming call from Qingwu.
Didn't she go to Southern Xinjiang with Yuan Jun on a mission? He knew that when those two were together, something troublesome was bound to happen.
"Hello?"
Wan Lei spoke impatiently and weakly.
"Hello, we've run into some trouble. Are you busy? If not, come and help us quickly."
"What happened?"
Wan Lei immediately stood up and asked nervously.
"Can you come? The situation is a bit complicated and can't be explained in a short while."
"Alright, we'll head over immediately. Where are you?"
"Xianghe Hotel in a city on the outskirts of the Bai family's territory in Southern Xinjiang."
"Got it."
Wan Lei hung up the phone, got up, and left the Creation Tower.
Taking out his small flying vessel, Wan Lei quickly flew towards the spatial jump point.
Once again marveling at the convenience of the Five Elements Hall's spatial jump points, Wan Lei zipped into the spatial channel. When he reappeared, he was in an unfamiliar area.
Beneath his feet lay a bustling city, with crowds of people coming and going.
Wan Lei searched for the location of Xianghe Hotel on the electronic map. After a brief search, he stopped in front of the entrance.
It was a slightly dilapidated hotel. Following the room number provided by Qingwu, Wan Lei went up to the third floor and knocked.
The door creaked open, revealing Qingwu's small head and ample bosom.
"Why are you staying in such a run-down place?"
"Oh, we don't have that much money. Besides, this place is remote, which is good for keeping a low profile."
"Keep a low profile, my foot! This is Bai family territory. They can see your every move. You still want to hide?"
"Huh? How did you know our target this time was the Bai family?"
Qingwu asked, her eyes wide.
"...Because you are in the Bai family's territory. Forget it, with your intelligence, it's really hard to solve a case."
Wan Lei walked in. Yuan Jun was sitting on a chair, looking troubled.
Qingwu even poked her head out cautiously, making sure no one was following them, before carefully closing the door.
"Tell me about the case. Couldn't you find the killer?"
Wan Lei plopped down on the bed.
"We did find the killer. This case isn't complicated at all, not difficult at all."
"Then why did you call me here?"
"But the problem is… forget it, I'll start from the beginning. There's an elder of the Bai family at the Taiheng realm, named Bai Qi. He's notoriously violent and capricious, often bullying the innocent. He's practically a tyrant in Southern Xinjiang.
A small family in Southern Xinjiang, which didn't even have a Heaven Realm expert, offended him for some reason. In a fit of rage, he massacred their entire clan, over a thousand people! All dead.
Many people around saw it, so the killer is quite certain. But the difficulty is that we can't apprehend him. The Bai family stopped us and drove us away."
"Hmph, arresting someone from the Five Elements Hall, and they dare to resist? Have they got the guts of a leopard?"
Wan Lei frowned, his words filled with imposing霸气.
"Master, the way you are now, you are so much like the disciples of the Five Elements Hall we encountered when we were rogue cultivators. So handsome."
Qingwu clasped her hands to her chest, looking smitten. But Wan Lei could tell she was mocking him.
"Shut up."
Wan Lei rolled his eyes.
"There's something strange about this. Few forces in the Immortal Realm dare to openly defy the orders of the Five Elements Hall. How can this Bai family, a family without even a Saint, dare to do this? What is their backing?
Once we understand these things, we can know ourselves and the enemy, and formulate a complete plan.
We definitely can't just rush into their house and demand to arrest someone now. Let's start by organizing information on this Bai family."
