"Him?" Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, projecting a glimmer of brilliance. "Senior Mao, the person you're talking about should be Emperor Shang!"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, the little cat's expression changed slightly, and it waved its paw, showing a trace of annoyance on its face. "Kid, it's better for you not to know too much. I promised a fellow to wait here for a person of inheritance. If he comes, I will teach him to comprehend the Gold Principle. As for the rest, you don't need to know."

Though he said so, Lin Mo wasn't willing to accept it easily. It seemed his fate was arranged and controlled by some mysterious force. Even if such arrangements were greatly beneficial to him, he still immensely disliked the feeling of being led by the nose.

"Since you have comprehended the Gold Principle, next step is to continue your cultivation and see to what stage you can understand the Gold Principle!" The little cat's face turned serious again as it spoke slowly.

"Law Stage?"

Lin Mo showed a doubtful expression, never having heard anything about the stages of law.

"It's normal that you don't know. The place and forces where you live probably have no magic treasures to assess your law cultivation level. According to the cultivation system, every law has a hundred layers. If you can comprehend thirty layers, you've reached the Small Success Realm of laws. Reaching sixty layers is the Great Achievement Realm, and ninety layers is the Peak Realm." The little cat explained slowly.

"Senior Mao, you said you are the Golden Origin Divine Beast. Could it be that your Law Comprehension reached a hundred layers?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

The little cat, speaking, lightly jumped up onto a large branch of an interwoven tree and sat down, smiling. "Everyone says that Great Perfection of laws is a hundred layers, but neither in the Holy Era nor the Netherworld Era has anyone reached Great Perfection of law. The rules of the universe don't allow anyone to cultivate laws to Great Perfection, even that one person can't do it."

"No one can cultivate to Great Perfection?" Lin Mo asked, eyes wide and brows furrowed.

"Nonsense! If anyone could cultivate laws to the realm of Great Perfection, then they themselves would be the law, a part of the Cosmic Law, transformed into the universe, an invincible existence." The little cat rolled its eyes at Lin Mo. "The universe is boundless, with various unique creatures and peculiar treasures born within. Our Golden Origin Divine Beast lineage is also an extremely rare existence in the universe, naturally blessed by the Gold Principle. Just reaching adulthood, we can achieve the Great Achievement Realm of the Gold Principle."

At this point, a look of resentment appeared on the little cat's face. "Unfortunately, heaven's favor did not bring good fortune. Our Golden Origin Divine Beast lineage is sparse in numbers and met with joint attacks by other human big shots, nearly wiping us out. Those people captured us just to exploit our comprehension of the Gold Principle... While we Golden Origin Divine Beasts are strong, we are far from being a match for humans given our scant number." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Lin Mo listened quietly and then nodded. He already understood in his heart; it must have been hiding here because of being hunted, and Emperor Shang helped it, making it agree to stay and wait for someone to inherit the Gold Principle.

The facts were indeed in line with Lin Mo's guesses. The little cat was being hunted and was saved by Emperor Shang, who then agreed to stay here waiting for the destined person.

"Forget it, explaining these things to you would be pointless. You must know, only by becoming stronger can you reach a higher plane and learn more about the mysteries of the universe." The little cat waved its paw and was somewhat unwilling to talk about past events.

"I'll now see how many layers you've comprehended of the Gold Principle, though I'm unable to help you check other laws." The little cat said, then extended a finger, with a point of golden light converging at the tip, suddenly shooting into Lin Mo's forehead.

This stream of golden light lacked any offensive or threatening power, and Lin Mo showed no resistance. After all, with the little cat's strength, if it meant harm, he wouldn't be alive now.

"Oh, not bad. You've comprehended up to the Tenth Floor of the Gold Principle. You've stepped into the threshold of the Gold Principle." The little cat then withdrew its finger and said, "However, I promised that big shot if someone entered my space, I must pass on the Gold Principle to them. You must at least reach the Small Success Realm to leave here."

"Small Success of the Gold Principle?" Lin Mo slightly furrowed his sword-like eyebrows.

"Hmm, begin cultivating now!" The little cat said, then suddenly opened its mouth, and a dazzling Golden Pearl slowly flew out, containing law fluctuations that made Lin Mo's heart tremble.

"This is the Law Pearl from my cultivation. While I haven't reached Great Perfection, in the Golden Origin Divine Beast lineage, my Law Comprehension is the strongest." The little cat said, revealing a trace of pride on its face.

Then the Golden Pearl flew into the sky, with a dazzling golden light erupting, almost draping the entire landscape in gold. Suddenly, from the Golden Pearl as the center, billions of golden threads shot out, forming a ninety-one-layer Golden Tower.

"Kid, how far you can comprehend depends on your ability. I will retrieve the Golden Tower in three years." The little cat yawned, "Okay, I need to go back to sleep now."

"Thank you, Senior Mao." Lin Mo looked at the latter, slightly bowing and clasping his hands.

Regardless of the little cat's strength or its help to him, Lin Mo maintained a respectful attitude towards it.

Watching the little cat return to the wooden house, Lin Mo's gaze finally fell onto the incomparably brilliant and mysterious Golden Tower in the sky. His eyes sparkled with resolute light, then he transformed into a stream of flowing light, rushing out. In the sky, only an arched curtain remained as the person entered the Golden Tower.

The first level of the Golden Tower was a golden mainland, filled everywhere with the source symbols of the Gold Principle for contemplation.

Having comprehended up to the Tenth Floor of the Gold Principle, Lin Mo could pass through each level's Light Gate directly, coming to the Eleventh Floor without delving deeply into the previous ten layers. Only after thoroughly understanding the source text of the Eleventh Floor's Gold Principle would a Light Gate appear, allowing him to enter the next level.

"It's begun!"

Lin Mo's eyes flashed with determination as he sat cross-legged on the golden land, countless brilliant light points gathering behind him, ultimately forming a beautiful, wondrous Star Sky Map.

The Star Sky Law materialized, beginning to emit a potent devouring force, pulling at the source symbols of the Gold Principle within the tower, consuming them, then transmitting an incomparably clear message into Lin Mo's Divine Sea.

At the same time Lin Mo entered the Golden Tower to cultivate, the little cat in the wooden house peered through the window, watching the Golden Tower, muttering to itself, "Emperor Shang, I have fulfilled my promise to you. He's the one you chose, let's see how far he can go!"
