Liriu was taken aback by those words.

"I will go too!"

Zulin didn't mind.

"That's up to you. However, the chances of we appearing inside the same Dimensional Realm is minimal. So you should think twice if you really want to take the test. If I were you, I would stay inside the Safe Zone and not leave until the ten years are up. No one can touch you there, after all."

Liriu shook his head.

"I don't want to stay behind. I will try it too!"

Zulin didn't try to stop him. He already helped Liriu for long enough. Although it is extremely dangerous, it might prove to be a good thing for him in the future.

"Very well."

The next day, Liriu and Zulin arrived at the Laws Test Pillar. There were still a lot of cultivators and demon beasts here. Quite a few were surprised to see that Core Formation Realm kid as well. Still, that wasn't their problem, so they just ignored it.

"I'm going first. If I fail, I will end back here. If not, you will see a bright light ascending through the pillar, which means that I passed. Understood?"

Liriu nodded. Zulin had already explained to him how everything worked.

Zulin's Laws were not too bad, especially his Water-related ones. After all, he is still a horned golden shark. Thanks to that, he was able to shatter 79 windows before being sent to the third level.

Outside, Liriu looked as the Light ascended. That was proof that Zulin had passed the test. Liriu looked around and noticed that no one seemed to be moving forward.

As long as he stays close to this pillar, he will be safe. That's what Zulin told him. Nevertheless, he simply couldn't bear with it. Making up his mind, Liriu got close to the pillar and first sent his Divine Sense inside.

"Name?"

Liriu was taken aback for a second, but then he remembered that Zulin commented about it. You had to give a name for the pillar to process your position into the rankings.

Liriu didn't have any better idea, so he simply used his own.

"Liriu."

Immediately, an enormous list of rankings appeared. There was one for the total score between all pillars and another for each pillar that participants accessed so far. In total, there seemed to be seven pillars accessed. That meant that at least one participant of the Holy Land already surpassed the seventh level and is inside the eighth.

It was then that Liriu found his own name in the First Light Pillar ranking.

78- Liriu, 4 minutes and 31 seconds - 22 points (3 Godly Stones)

"This..."

Seeing that reminded Liriu of something that Zulin always complained about. Zulin knew about the Godly Stones, but he also understood that there was no way for him to get his hands on one. He explained to Liriu just how good it would be if they could get just a few. Now, Liriu found out that he had the right to take three.

Liriu then selected to get the Godly Stones, and soon, Godly Energy began the gather above him. It condensed for a few moments until finally, three Godly Stones were formed. They slowly descended until Liriu caught them with his wings.

Sure enough, Liriu's Godly Stones caught everyone's attention. They all looked at him as if they were looking at some prey. A few high-level cultivators and demon beasts immediately came forward to demand him to give up the Stones. However, Liriu, too, knew how important those stones were. He steeled his resolve and sent them into his Spatial Necklace.

Even at the 8th Stage of the Core Formation Realm, Liriu still couldn't take the Human Form. That being said, he had no fingers to hold a spatial ring. Ruik and Tiane then bought a Spatial Necklace so that he could keep his items.

The cultivators and demon beasts around him obviously felt enraged by that. Yet, they knew that they couldn't touch Liriu in the safe zone. In the end, they kept threatening him.

Liriu couldn't take it anymore and finally sent his Spiritual Energy into the Light Pillar, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight. Some of the spectators got curious, though. Liriu was an 8th Core Formation Realm Demon Beast, does he even know any laws to start with?

The answer to this question was yes! Liriu has the Elemental Meridians, and they are the main type on top of that. Also, Liriu is a Dracophoenix, so his attunement with Laws is higher than others to start with. Last but not least, he had been in a place with Godly Energy! As mentioned before, Godly Energy makes the Laws even clearer for everyone.

Considering all these advantages at the moment, it is no surprise that Liriu did comprehend a law. He basically only lost to Krune in this part. Of course, Fie also comprehended laws, but she did it in the same Stage as Liriu, the 7th Stage of the Core Formation Realm.

The Law that Liriu comprehended was the Fire Sub-Law, Explosion. Not too surprisingly, Liriu had an easy time understanding it. It was basically his Phoenix side showing its effect. Thanks to that, in just a few months, he already comprehended this Explosion Sub-Law to the Intermediate Stage!

While Liriu still felt somewhat scared of what just happened outside, the same voice appeared in his mind.

"The Windows of Laws..."

"Test adjusted to the 8th Stage of the Core For..."

"You may start."

Liriu then calmed himself and approached the first window. He didn't know how good his comprehension was considered since he only knew a single Sub-Law. But to his surprise, the window in front of him instantly shattered.

That was to be expected. Comprehension of Laws at the Core Formation Realm is extremely rare, let alone the intermediate level of one. Since the level was adjusted to his own cultivation, the windows would definitely shatter in front of him.

Liriu moved forward, and the windows shattered one after another. Not too long after, Liriu was already in front of the 100th window. Even though he now had to concentrate the laws into the windows, they still quickly shattered.

Only at window number 173 did Liriu finally stop. He didn't do as well as Krune or Feifei, but that was a remarkable achievement. Enough to send himself all the way to the 45th position in the second Pillar Ranking. That was enough for another 5 Godly Stones next time he arrived in a Light Pillar too.

Outside, the Light Pillar Brightened on the base, and the Light shot to the skies. With that, everyone understood that Liriu had passed the test. Obviously, the majority was surprised since that meant that Liriu knew laws while still in the Core Formation Realm.

Not too long after, Liriu appeared on the third level. He quickly looked around, but couldn't see Zulin anywhere. He couldn't help but feel sad by that. Still, it was his decision to come here, so he couldn't go back. Liriu looked around and then searched for a place where he could hide again.

Liriu had three Godly Stones that he can now use. Also, he has to adapt to the Godly Energy of this level as well.

After flying around for an hour, he found a place that seemed good enough and landed there. It was a small natural cave in the middle of a forest. He quickly took a look at the surroundings to see if there wasn't anyone close and then entered it. He also took some foliage to cover the entrance.

The cave wasn't big, just a few tens of meters deep. Still, it was the best he could find in the meantime. Liriu is still 11 years old, so it could be said that he is doing very well by himself.

Liriu first took his time to calm himself. After feeling the Godly Energy of the ambient, he noticed that it wasn't affecting him that much. Liriu had stayed in the second level for much longer than he needed, so his body got a lot more used to this energy than the others. Now that he entered the third level, he obviously didn't feel as much pressure as everyone.

Seeing that everything was fine, Liriu took out one of the Godly Stones and tried it himself. Feeling that gentler Godly Energy mixing with he Spiritual Energy made Liriu's eyes lit up.

"This is great!"

Without any delay, Liriu began to cultivate seriously.

However, he was really unlucky. His cave wasn't that deep. A few hours later, a small group of three passed by over it by coincidence and ended seeing him with their Divine Sense.

"What?! Godly Stone!"
