Light flashed as Lin Mo stepped into the golden portal, and the golden light gradually converged into a golden line before disappearing into the dark space. In the next instant, Lin Mo's eyes were greeted with a scene of green mountains and clear waters, a babbling brook, and flourishing vegetation. For Lin Mo, who had been aimlessly drifting in the dark space for three months, this place was akin to heaven.

"Have I finally come out?" Lin Mo furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, but after releasing his divine thought, he could sense no living presence or even the original atmosphere of the space.

"Where on earth is this place?" Lin Mo wondered, his brows creased. This situation was certainly better than being confined in the dark space for a lifetime. Collecting himself, Lin Mo slowly flew towards a peak, where the mountain was enveloped by white mist and rolling clouds, resembling a sea of clouds.

On a gentle slope halfway up the mountain, stood a wooden house, which immediately caught Lin Mo's attention, indicating he was not alone here.

With this thought, Lin Mo took off towards the wooden house, landing softly in front of the house. He cupped his hands in greeting and called loudly, "I wonder which senior resides within the wooden house; I have intruded…"

"Oh, you're just a young man?" Before he could finish, a strange voice emerged from the wooden house; then with a creak, the wooden door slowly opened. A figure appeared—or more accurately, a creature with a cat's head and a human body opened the door, standing roughly half a meter tall, looking rather comical.

"Uh…" Lin Mo's brows furrowed in surprise, as this creature looked identical to the mysterious statue fought over by Li Ling and Luo Hong.

"What are you staring at? Never seen me before?" The cat-headed creature said heatedly, its tone sounding like an old soul.

Lin Mo nodded, "I have seen you; the statue in the stone chamber looked exactly like you."

Lin Mo was unclear about the creature's origins, and despite sensing no trace of true yuan or spiritual energy from it, he nonetheless felt an inexplicable apprehension, as if the creature could annihilate him with a mere motion.

"Not just quite like me; that statue is mine. Enough, you can call me Golden Source Master! I am the highest enlightened being of the Gold Principle."

"Golden Source Master?" Lin Mo showed a look of skepticism, the highest enlightenment of the Gold Principle.

"What? You don't believe me, kid? Let me tell you, back in the day, I was a force to be reckoned with, even some Realm Lords had to show me respect… huh!"

The little cat raised its head with a proud demeanor.

"I see. Then why are you here?" Lin Mo inquired suspiciously.

Upon hearing this, the little cat became particularly incensed, glowering and exclaiming, "Who told you I was confined here? I'm tired of the fighting and violence, so I'm hiding away here."

Lin Mo chuckled slightly, hardly believing its words, as this plane was within the dark space. If it was truly a top-level powerhouse, how could it settle for such a place to live out life. "Alright, I'm not going to argue with you. I once made a vow, that anyone who enters my space and finds me, I will pass on my inheritance to them to help them understand the Gold Principle!" The little cat's expression turned serious, its eyes rolled as it sized up Lin Mo, "Just didn't expect someone at the Star Sea Level to enter… too weak."

Hearing the little cat's words, a trace of helplessness appeared on Lin Mo's lips. Luo Hong and Li Ling were focused on the statue, unaware that the true treasure was within the so-called black hole.

In a way, Lin Mo stumbled into this place by chance, although being mocked for his weakness by the little cat left him slightly displeased.

"What, still think I'm bluffing?" The little cat continued, extending a finger, lightly pointing it, a beam of dazzling golden light soared into the sky, instantly expanding into rippling circles of golden light.

Lin Mo raised his head, eyes wide in astonishment, as the sky filled with numerous dense, tadpole-like golden runes. These runes floated in the sky, exuding an ancient, mysterious flavor.

These golden runes looked identical to the ones outside the golden palace that Lin Mo had seen; they were the figurative manifestation of laws, but clearly, the sky-bound golden runes were more complex and ancient, filled with a mysterious aura.

"Kid, cultivate well, see if we are fated; I've manifested the laws for you. If you can comprehend them, come find me again!" The little cat said, hands clasped behind its back, heading straight into the wooden house. Lin Mo watched the golden runes in the sky, filled with shock. The mere act of pointing could reproduce the original principle of the Gold Law for someone to meditate on; the background and prowess of this little cat were not to be underestimated, probably even exceeding the Mystic Realm Sect Master's capabilities.

Seeing the little cat return to the wooden house, Lin Mo did not hesitate because if the cat truly intended him harm, with his current strength, he had no means of resistance. "Oh, I must remind you… even if I've materialized the golden runes for you to meditate on, comprehending the law is extremely difficult. The Gold Principle is the foremost of the Five Elements, if you manage to comprehend it within three months, your aptitude barely qualifies as genius level."

From the wooden house, the little cat's voice echoed once more.

Lin Mo furrowed his sword-like eyebrows; comprehending the law is the foundation of a cultivator. Whether a magic user or martial artist, they need sufficient understanding of the law to enhance their strength.

Although the little cat had materialized the secret patterns of the Gold Principle, fathoming their intricacies remained a deeply challenging task.

Besides, Lin Mo never considered himself a genius; his path was more marked by opportunities and perseverance. With this thought, Lin Mo flew straight into the sky, approaching the secret patterns of the Gold Principle, closely observing the golden runes floating there. Simultaneously, the star power within him started changing, automatically operating the second pattern of the Star Wheel Universe Map.

Behind him, a small star sky map slowly formed.

Within the star sky pattern, an astounding devouring force erupted again. In Lin Mo's alarmed gaze, the gold law symbols floating in the sky were sucked into a tumultuous hurricane by the star sky law, devouring a portion. Subsequently, the star sky law transmitted the comprehension of the Gold Law into Lin Mo's divine sea, akin to solving a highly complex math problem with a professor guiding you through each layer, creating an impressively clear enlightenment.
