Within the Molten Rock Empire, on the Molten Rock Emperor Star, there was a secluded garden in the imperial palace.
Lush trees and blooming flowers created a beautiful natural landscape here.
Beneath a large tree, Hoka, with his handsome appearance, pointed ears, green hair, and emerald eyes, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, Hoka opened his eyes, and with a thought, a light screen popped up.
Looking at the information on the light screen, he read softly, "The Delarosa Family of the Ancient Thunder Empire."
"Heh!" He couldn't help but chuckle softly, "This Delarosa Family is really bold, daring to touch someone Guret favors."
"Hmm, Daniel Delarosa, World Master Level Nine." Hoka stood up, muttering somewhat helplessly, "It seems I'll have to make a move this time."
With a thought, he wrote two messages and sent them separately to two World Master commanders, then flew towards the spaceship docking bay.
Soon, Hoka arrived at the docking bay and boarded the prepared E9-level Spaceship.
As Hoka boarded the spaceship, a team was still rushing towards the docking bay, led by the two World Master commanders, Sweit and Duya. Behind them followed six Domain Masters and sixty Universe Level cultivators.
With the team of sixty-eight people on board, the spaceship took off and headed towards the Ancient Thunder Empire.
The spaceship accelerated to light speed and entered the Dark Universe. A World Master, not seeing the Elder who was supposed to be supervising, cautiously transmitted a message, "Commander Sweit, did we forget that Elder?"
Upon hearing this, Sweit transmitted back, "That person will appear when he is supposed to. We only need to complete the mission that person assigned."
"Is it overkill for you two World Master to lead a team against two World Masters?"
Sweit frowned slightly and transmitted a reprimand, "Do not underestimate a Family that once produced an Immortal. Even if they have declined now, their Foundation is not something ordinary Domain Masters and World Masters like us can compare to. Even a World Master might possess a Heavy Treasure capable of threatening me."
"Yes! You are right, Elder." After being reprimanded by Sweit, the World Master's forehead beaded with sweat. Only then did he remember that the target Family had once produced an Immortal, possessing countless riches and Heavy Treasures.
Seeing that the Domain Master admitted his mistake, Sweit also transmitted to the other five Domain Masters, "The target of this mission is extraordinary; it is a Family that once produced an Immortal. You must be careful when engaging the enemy. I do not wish to attend your funerals."
The five Domain Masters bowed slightly and simultaneously transmitted, "Yes, Commander Sweit."
Seeing this, Sweit said no more. To prevent the information from leaking, he did not inform the sixty Universe Level cultivators.
This target was once an Immortal Rank Family. Even if it has declined, its connections are not comparable to those of an ordinary World Master Family. He saw no need to take risks.
Duya, who was beside Sweit, saw that the reprimand was complete and then gave the order, "Disperse."
As the order was given, the two personal guard teams, except for the two World Master commanders, all left and returned to their pre-arranged cabins.
"With that Elder overseeing this time, we will certainly complete the mission to Perfection."
After the others left, Duya transmitted, "The Delarosa Family once produced an Immortal, but that Immortal has been dead for tens of thousands of epochs now.
"Judging by the interval at which that Family produces World Masters, most World Masters are accumulated through resources. Tens of thousands of epochs of consumption mean a significant depletion of resources within their Family, and with so much time passed, other Immortals will not care about their Family's survival."
Finally, he added, "The Delarosa Family's Foundation should be almost exhausted."
"I know," Sweit replied, "but it's always good to be cautious." Upon hearing this, Duya nodded without speaking, because caution was indeed never wrong.

At the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp, Ender finally waited for the spaceship that would take him to the Molten Rock Secret Realm.
During the more than half a month of waiting, he contacted his Family daily, and this somewhat unusual situation made his mother, Wendy, a little worried. Only after explanations from his father, Derrick, and himself, did her worries dissipate.
After boarding the spaceship bound for the Molten Rock Secret Realm, he reduced the frequency of contacting his Family and informed them of the reason so they could adapt.
"The Molten Rock Secret Realm is indeed divided into Ranks."
Inside the cabin, Ender, who had received detailed information about the Molten Rock Secret Realm, looked at the light screen in front of him and muttered, "Prospective members, official members, and core members."
"To normally enter the Molten Rock Secret Realm, one's Domain must reach the sixth level. However, with a recommendation from a Domain Master, the requirement can be lowered to Domain fifth level."
He read on, "Students whose Domain is at the fifth or sixth level can only become prospective members upon entering the Molten Rock Secret Realm. Only by reaching Domain eighth or ninth level can one become an official member.
"And students who have comprehended Law can become core members, the fewest in number within the Molten Rock Secret Realm and receiving the best treatment. They can freely read most of the Secret Technique texts in the Molten Rock Secret Realm."
"Can freely read most of the Secret Technique texts!" Seeing this, Ender's eyes lit up, and he thought, "The treatment is very good."
He knew that Secret Technique texts, regardless of the power, were considered precious and rare resources, and one of the Foundations of a power.
Allowing core members to freely read Secret Technique texts was quite good treatment, and more importantly, there was no prohibition against students teaching others!
"Core members, upon leaving the Molten Rock Secret Realm, can be said to be walking treasuries of Secret Technique texts, enough to establish a knowledge treasury comparable to a Domain Master or World Master Level power."
Thinking of this, Ender's expression was strange, "No! a Stellar Rank Law Genius, even if they can't become a core member of the five Leviathans of Humanity, will still enter the Secret Realm of a high-level Universe Country to Cultivate, or at worst, join an Immortal Rank power and be heavily nurtured.
"The Secret Technique texts of Domain Master and World Master Level powers are merely icing on the cake for this level of Genius; they are suitable for nurturing Family descendants."
He greatly admired the Molten Rock Emperor's approach. The treatment of free access to Secret Technique texts filled him with gratitude.
It was no exaggeration to say that with those Secret Technique texts, his Family members' chances of Breaking Through to Domain Master and World Master would greatly increase, especially the former.
"Why does the Molten Rock Emperor spend such a great cost to nurture Geniuses? Is it to receive rewards from the Lord of Ganwu after nurturing Geniuses?"
Ender didn't know much about what rewards would be obtained for nurturing Geniuses. He remembered the original work briefly mentioned that the Country Lord of a high-level Universe Country would receive contribution rewards for nurturing Geniuses.
And for a Universe Venerable Rank expert to be willing to nurture Geniuses, the rewards obtained must not be low. Perhaps the so-called contributions could be exchanged for Heavy Treasures or Arcana Treasures.
…
As Ender traveled to the Molten Rock Secret Realm by spaceship, the E9-level Spaceship carrying World Master Molten Rock's personal guard team had already arrived within the Ancient Thunder Empire, not far from the planet where the Delarosa Family was located.
Upon receiving the message from the personal guard commander, World Master Molten Rock, far away in the Molten Rock Empire, began to contact the Emperor of the Ancient Thunder Empire.
As fellow subordinate countries of the Ganwu Universe Country, World Master Molten Rock naturally knew the Ancient Thunder Empire Emperor and had his contact information…
