The Blade of the Tide was the reward from completing the task "Tidal Blade Combat Technique."
Luo Fan was quite curious about this weapon whose name was so similar to Divine Blade of the Tide.
He couldn't help but think of the long blade the King of Tidal Blades carried on his back before.
That long blade looked almost identical to the Divine Blade of the Tide.
Moreover, Luo Fan could sense how powerful that blade was.
A guess surfaced in his mind.
Since the task reward had come from learning the King of Tidal Blades' Tidal Blade Combat Technique,
Could it be that this reward was that same long blade?
At the thought, Luo Fan couldn't help feeling excited.
That long blade was, at the very least, of the Immortal Divine Weapon level.
Meaning it was worth several million, perhaps even tens of millions, of Mixed Yuan Units.
But judging by the King of Tidal Blades' strength, it was likely much higher.
Weapons used by King-ranked powerhouses were usually worth hundreds of millions, or even billions of Mixed Yuan Units.
Luo Fan's anticipation only grew stronger.
Without thinking further, he directly claimed the Blade of the Tide.
In the next instant, a long blade appeared in his hand.
"Ugh!"
Luo Fan was immediately crushed by an overwhelming force.
Even his internal organs felt like they were about to burst!
He quickly stored it away.
Then, after adjusting his position and focus, he carefully summoned it again from the system.
Before him appeared a long blade strikingly similar to the Divine Blade of the Tide.
Or rather, it was the Divine Blade of the Tide that resembled this blade.
It radiated an immense, suffocating pressure.
Luo Fan swallowed hard.
"What… what is this?"
He was certain, this was definitely not an ordinary Immortal Divine Weapon.
Yet, he didn't recognize what it was either.
His mechanical clan clone moved its consciousness and searched the Virtual Universe for information.
But, nothing came up.
And Luo Fan's current access privileges weren't low at all.
After all, he was now the disciple of the Wood Spirit King.
And a member of the Virtual Universe Company's Potion Division.
Even so, he still couldn't find any information on the Blade of the Tide.
He put it away again and returned to his ship.
Then, with a thought.
A stream of information appeared in his mind.
Previously, whenever Luo Fan received an item from the system, it would come with corresponding information.
But as his cultivation advanced, he could now control how much system feedback he received.
For example, he could suppress system messages entirely if he didn't need them.
He could also store rewards directly inside his system space.
Manuals and techniques could even be converted into books for safekeeping.
Now, he retrieved the system information regarding the Blade of the Tide.
Soon, he learned the grade of this weapon before him.
It was a pseudo-supreme treasure!
At that moment, Luo Fan's breathing quickened uncontrollably.
He knew, anything that bore even the word "pseudo" attached to supreme treasure was no simple thing!
A pseudo-supreme treasure was the product of a failed supreme treasure refinement.
Usually, the issue lay in the engraving of the secret patterns.
Even so, the materials used were still those of a true supreme treasure!
A genuine supreme treasure, if valued in cosmic currency,
Would cost at least ten trillion Mixed Yuan Units.
Even a pseudo-supreme treasure was worth hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of Mixed Yuan Units!
This was by far the most precious item Luo Fan had ever obtained.
However, there was one thing that gave him a headache...
Although this pseudo-supreme treasure suited him perfectly,
He couldn't use it at all.
Not only could he not use it, he couldn't even lift it, let alone make it recognize him as its master.
Right now, he was simply too weak.
To form a bond with it, he'd at least need to comprehend the Laws to a certain degree and break through to Domain Lord level.
As for using it, that wouldn't be possible until he reached at least World Master level.
At the moment, Luo Fan felt the torment of staring at a mountain of treasure he couldn't touch.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset.
Even if he couldn't wield it yet,
Owning a pseudo-supreme treasure was still an incredible advantage.
At the very least, until he reached the Immortal stage, he'd never need to worry about lacking a suitable weapon again.
Then, Luo Fan continued claiming his other rewards: Void Source Crystal, Water Source Crystal, and the manual Blood Codex.
In addition, he received 200,000 points of Comprehension.
During this period, his clone had already practiced the Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade technique to Perfection level.
This allowed his strength amplitude to reach 100.
His mental force amplitude also reached 100.
For a Universe-level clone, this was quite easy.
Each time he improved an amplitude and trained a secret technique to Perfection, he would receive Comprehension as a mission reward.
So by now, Luo Fan's total Comprehension had surpassed one million.
It was through the enlightenment triggered by surpassing that million-point threshold that he had comprehended the first essence of the Law of Space.
Now, he planned to spend some time practicing the Tidal Blade Combat Technique taught by the King of Tidal Blades.
It was a complete manual.
Within it were several unique techniques created by the King of Tidal Blades himself, designed to complement the Divine Blade of the Tide.
Moreover, the manual even contained supporting techniques for the Blade of the Tide!
However, Luo Fan was currently unable to study those particular ones.
He decided instead to start with the techniques that matched the Divine Blade of the Tide.
If he could bring even one of them to Perfection level, he'd earn an enormous amount of Comprehension points.
Alternatively, he could try to master the third move of the original Divine Blade of the Tide set and raise its proficiency to Perfection.
But that was rather difficult.
Luo Fan had also discovered that without sufficient Law comprehension, improving technique proficiency was extremely slow.
He could battle for ages without gaining a single point.
Conversely, when one's Law comprehension was high enough, secret techniques improved rapidly.
Sometimes, during moments of deep insight into the Laws, technique proficiency would rise on its own.
After collecting his rewards, Luo Fan's true body resumed his Law comprehension.
As for the Tidal Blade Combat Technique and Blood Codex, he left those to his mechanical clone to study.
That was the fastest and most efficient arrangement.
…
Time flowed on.
In just a few years, much had changed.
A few days after Luo Fan first met the King of Tidal Blades,
A sobered-up Grando, under the King of Tidal Blades' insistence, contacted Luo Fan.
After confirming his master's approval, Luo Fan formally became the disciple of the King of Tidal Blades as well.
One master would teach him alchemy and potion refinement,
While the other guided him in Laws and combat.
As for the alchemy side, Luo Fan only allocated a small portion of his mechanical clone's processing power to research.
Even so, he successfully developed a new planet-level bloodline evolution potion.
The highest grade of its kind.
When used by an ordinary person, it could gradually help them grow to the peak of the Planetary level.
As for his progress in the Laws, it was advancing rapidly as well.
The King of Tidal Blades truly was the most suitable teacher for Luo Fan at this stage.
No matter what question Luo Fan had, he could almost always answer it immediately.
