Luo Venerable has a straightforward personality, joyful in adjudicating grievances.

After stepping into the Venerable Realm, he once entered the Inner Circle and made a certain reputation.

However, due to various accidents, he ultimately decided to return to the outer perimeter.

The Bei Ming Monster he mentioned is a Venerable Great Power of the Piaomiao Star Alliance, with whom he had considerable conflict during those years in the Inner Circle.

Yu Tianming was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

The Time Hourglass is the treasured possession of the Piaomiao Star Alliance, containing a hint of the Time Law.

Although this sparse Time Law cannot help Venerables perceive sainthood.

But for Jiang Shu, if he could experience it early, his battle prowess in the Venerable Realm would undoubtedly reach new heights!

She was about to respond when she suddenly saw Luo Venerable raise his hand to stop her, eyes turning towards the space ripple at the hall’s entrance.

"What’s that kid been busy with lately?"

Luo Venerable suddenly switched the topic, his fingers caressing the cup’s rim.

"Ever since he emerged from the Deep Space Sea, I’ve only seen him once."

Yu Tianming set down the teacup, his dark sleeve brushing over the star map on the table, stirring a series of tiny sparks.

"His Highness should be in seclusion in the Eternal Tower."

Her voice carried a bit of uncertainty.

"It’s been a while since I’ve seen His Highness as well."

"Venerable, you know how His Highness operates, we are not privileged to inquire."

Many Supreme Geniuses and ancient freaks would often be accompanied by a large entourage of followers when traveling, grand and imposing, a sight that unmistakably shows which house a genius belongs to.

Some geniuses prefer solitude, immersing themselves in cultivation.

Jiang Shu is such a person, so even Yu Tianming, being the closest follower beside Jiang Shu, does not know Jiang Shu’s exact whereabouts.

"That kid has always been like this."

Luo Venerable smiled.

"Not just you, even I can’t find him."

As soon as his words dropped, the two in the hall heard a familiar laughter echo from beyond the great hall door.

"Venerable, Tianming, how come just out of seclusion, I hear you discussing me."

The space at the hall entrance suddenly distorted, silver-blue ripples blooming like flowers.

Yu Tianming instantly stood, just to see a familiar figure stride through the void.

The young man in white was as pure as snow, with the Desolate Star Halberd at his waist, shrinking to three inches, its tip still carrying residual space cracks.

"Greetings, Venerable."

Jiang Shu cupped his hands in salutation, small spatial cracks flickering in his pupils.

His aura was even more restrained than half a month ago, but such a Venerable Great Power as Luo Venerable could discern the astonishing Law fluctuations beneath the seemingly serene surface.

What a monster.

As if born for the Dao.

Even someone of Luo Venerable’s temperament couldn’t help but marvel at Jiang Shu’s remarkable progress.

"Your command of the Space Law has become more exquisite. If I’m not mistaken, have you already begun to grasp space?"

Jiang Shu didn’t stand on ceremony with Luo Venerable, directly sitting at his lower hand and nodded, saying: "Grasping wouldn’t be right, merely capable of basic application, it’s some time before full mastery, likely achievable when I reach the Venerable Realm."

He did not aim too high.

The Space Law is too mighty, he cannot fully grasp it now. What he must do now is prepare for his ascension to the Venerable Realm.

Luo Venerable was extremely satisfied looking at the younger generation before him.

"With your current Realm, you could forcefully ascend to Venerable now, but doing so would be tantamount to self-destruction. It would be nearly impossible to attain Saint Realm in the future. Our Jiuyu Commerce Alliance doesn’t lack a Venerable, what it lacks is a Saint who could stand as a pillar in the Star Ruins Realm."

"Venerable is not your end point."

Jiang Shu naturally understood this principle.

Seeing Jiang Shu resolute, unaffected by the allure of the High Realm, Luo Venerable refrained from saying more, instead, he inquired about Jiang Shu’s future plans.

"You’re currently making waves, even the Mechanical Mother’s avatars have fallen at your hands, no doubt the Doomsday Sect will target you."

"The world is too vast, I can’t always be behind you, everything afterwards is up to you."

"The Doomsday Sect is terrifying, the means they’ve exposed so far are just the tip of the iceberg. Even ordinary Venerables could fall into their schemes. So you must be exceedingly cautious outside."

Luo Venerable once had offspring, but as the years passed, they grew old and died.

Now solitary, he genuinely regarded Jiang Shu as his descendant, tirelessly offering advice, which Jiang Shu listened to quietly, occasionally nodding in agreement, reassuring Luo Venerable.

"Have you tried challenging the Eighth Floor of the Eternal Tower lately?"

Realizing that he seemed to be a bit verbose due to old age, Luo Venerable coughed slightly to change the topic.

Jiang Shu nodded, saying: "I came this time to discuss this matter with Venerable."

"I’ve already cleared the Eighth Floor of the Eternal Tower."

The young man’s voice was as calm as discussing the weather today, his right hand casually slicing through the nearby void, fifteen Great Dao Patterns interweaving to form a tower-shaped phantom in the air.

The silver-blue light at the top was particularly dazzling, space fragments could vaguely be seen reorganizing and disintegrating within it.

Suddenly, the teacups on the Jade Table exploded.

Luo Venerable couldn’t suppress the pressure from his Forgetting Realm Middle Stage, causing the spatial structure of the entire palace to groan under strain.

Yu Tianming had to employ the Heavenly Snake Secret Technique to resist, yet still was pushed back three steps before steadying himself.

"The Eighth Floor?!"
