Qualification Battle Begins

Back in the room.

Yang Yu leaned back on the large, luxurious bed, continuing his research into the Fusion Secret Technique while simultaneously connecting his consciousness to the Virtual Universe.

Just then, Ai Chen was also there, Yang Yu immediately sent a call request.

Yang Yu and Ai Chen sat on a bench in the Public Region Yuxiang Mountain.

"Brother Yu, have you arrived in the Ganwu Universe Country?"

"Just arrived today, Xiao Chen, how's your cultivation going lately?"

"That's great. Ever since I found the direction of the Secret Pattern Diagram, my cultivation speed has increased by at least two levels."

Ai Chen was overjoyed. Since his trip to the Cloud Palace World, he had not only gained a huge Points, but also obtained a precious inheritance of Secret Pattern Diagram and Secret Technique.

Combined with his already considerable talent, Ai Chen's progress has accelerated dramatically.

"Okay, that's good. Xiao Chen, if you have any questions about the Time Law, feel free to ask me anytime."

"Hehe, I will." Ai Chen readily agreed.

Now that they are a couple, there's no need to be polite in many ways anymore.

"My current Law Comprehension is still very weak. I can't study or draw many profound Secret Pattern Diagram yet. They can only be used as an aid to Comprehend Laws, and their effect in actual combat is not yet obvious."

Ai Chen was a little troubled.

He possesses the inherited Secret Pattern Diagram of Light Law and time, as well as precious basic knowledge of these Secret Pattern Diagram. However, unfortunately, Ai Chen's understanding of time and Light Law is currently only at the beginner level.

"This is normal, Xiao Chen, don't worry. Since you haven't accumulated enough knowledge of the laws, focus on your Law Comprehension first. Use the knowledge of the Secret Pattern Diagram to help you. When you can't make any progress in the laws, then you can concentrate on studying the Secret Pattern Diagram School. This might be more effective."

Although Yang Yu didn't know much about the Secret Pattern Diagram, through his conversation with Ai Chen and the content of the Original Work, Yang Yu was quite clear that the Secret Pattern Diagram School had an extremely high ceiling.

However, it also requires a profound foundation in principles.

A higher foundation allows for more powerful Secret Pattern Diagram, and with a flash of inspiration, one can even create powerful Secret Technique far exceeding their own level based on the Secret Pattern Diagram.

"Yes!" Ai Chen nodded cutely, "That's what I thought too. Through my research over this period of time, I've also discovered this problem!"

"That's right. Law Comprehension is always the most fundamental and important thing. But now that you have the Secret Pattern Diagram to help you, Xiao Chen, your efficiency in understanding the laws will be even higher. With each other's assistance, both of you can progress very quickly."

"Yes, it's all thanks to Brother Yu for taking me on the Cloud Palace Mission, otherwise I would be in real trouble now."

"What's wrong?"

"The Qualification Battle is about to begin, but Brother Yu, you've already conquered the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain, so you can ignore this one."

Yang Yu then suddenly realized what was going on.

That's right. Core Member at the Universe Level participate in a Qualification Battle every hundred years, where their performance determines whether they are promoted, demoted to a secret realm, or remain in their current position.

The Core Member at the Domain Lord Level participate in Qualification Battle once every thousand years.

Ai Chen and her group have been with the Virtual Universe Company for almost a hundred years now, and the Universe Level Qualification Battle is indeed about to begin.

If Yang Yu had remained at the Universe Level, he would have been included in this Qualification Battle. However, since he recently broke through to the Domain Lord, even if Yang Yu were to participate in the Qualification Battle, it would be the Domain Lord Level Qualification Battle hundreds of years later.

Certainly.

Perhaps by then, Yang Yu's Human Original Body had already broken through to the World Lord level.

Just like when he was at the Universe Level, he broke through to the Domain Lord without even going through a Qualification Battle.

Of course, no one would believe that Yang Yu was trying to avoid the Qualification Battle by finding another way to stay in the Primal Secret Realm.

After all, even the Primal Sky Mountain, a Universe Level primordial secret realm, would be beyond the reach of the current batch of Domain Lord Level Primal Secret Realm geniuses.

Naturally, Yang Yu doesn't need any so-called Qualification Battle to prove anything.

This is also what Ai Chen, Luo Feng, Hong, and the others envy.

"Xiao Chen, are you confident that you can stay in the Taichu Secret Realm?" Yang Yu asked.

For over 90% of newcomers, maintaining their place in the dungeon during their first Qualification Battle is no easy feat.

"I wasn't confident at all before, but now... I can't advance into the Primal Secret Realm for the time being, but staying in the Taichu Secret Realm shouldn't be a problem."

Ai Chen said confidently.

"That's already very good, Xiao Chen is great." Yang Yu praised with a smile.

Hehe~

Ai Chen smiled so broadly that her eyes curved into crescent moons.

After chatting for a while, Ai Chen logged off to cultivate, while Yang Yu went to the Yuxiang Mountain Primal Region to test his insights.

After all, the Star Sea Villa Area is not large, and the training grounds here are not suitable for practicing techniques.

Now, Yang Yu's casual attacks can cut through Space Rift, so an ordinary Life Planet like Qiu Long Planet naturally cannot withstand it.

One night passed.

The next day, after Yang Yu had breakfast with everyone, Yang Yu took out the Machine Race Spaceship, had everyone board it, and then led them to Earth.

Ten days later.

Through a layer of coordinates hidden by Space Secret Technique, Yang Yu returned to the starry sky outside Earth.

Looking at Earth, which hasn't returned for almost a century.

Yang Yu felt as if he were in a dream.

"Your Highness, is this your hometown?" Lei En asked, looking at the small but beautiful azure planet.

"Yes, this is my home planet, but I don't want it to be exposed. I hope you can keep it a secret, Lei En."

"Don't worry, Little Martial Ancestor, I will definitely keep it a secret for you!"

Lei En used telepathy to send this message.

Lei En simply assumed that Yang Yu didn't want his hometown to be disturbed by the outside world, which was why he gave such instructions. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it; many powerful people had this quirk.

"Yes, thank you."

Over the years, Yang Yu has great faith in the character of his Senior Brother Gui Yi in Lei En.

Although any place an immortal has been to only needs to leave behind an Immortal God Crystal to be God Kingdom Teleportation at any time, the Space Concealment Secret Technique set up by Hu Yanbo outside is useless.

But now that Lei En has agreed to keep it a secret, Yang Yu is not worried that the other party will go back on their word.

Anyway, Earth's secrets haven't been exposed yet, so there's no need to worry too much for now.

"Whoosh!"

The Silver-white Machine Race Spaceship swept through the atmosphere and then came to a stop in front of the lawn of a luxurious and enormous villa.

This was the villa where Yang Yu and his group had previously lived.

After settling the Guard Team, Yang Yu chatted with his grandfather, Wang Lin, and others before taking to the skies and flying towards Shennongjia.

A moment later.

Yang Yu arrived in front of a huge Ancient Castle.

"Greetings, Master!"

Upon seeing Yang Yu, the slaves guarding the area immediately greeted him loudly.

Ever since Yang Yu bought them, they have been in charge of security here. After so many years, they have finally seen Yang Yu again.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. You guys go about your business and don't worry about me."

Yang Yu waved his hand, then walked alone into the depths of the castle, arriving at the foot of a giant sphere.

This heavily guarded sphere is none other than the Zerg Mother Nest.

Inside is naturally the Zerg Empress.

After observing the Mother Nest for a moment, Yang Yu released his powerful Soul Power, which extended into the Mother Nest.

They immediately discovered that the Zerg Mother Nest was structured like a 'beehive,' filled with countless holes, which must be the place where a large number of Zerg Warrior were bred.

At the very Core Region of the Zerg Mother Nest, there is a cavity with a diameter of approximately 100 meters.

Within this void, a life lies dormant.

She was twelve meters tall, with a fair and translucent complexion, her entire body seemingly made of crystal, and a pair of transparent wings on her back that resembled butterflies.

At this moment, the wings were enveloping her delicate and beautiful body, like a thin layer of gauze, and her curvaceous figure was truly a masterpiece of nature.

Even in her sleep, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she exuded a mysterious allure that made one feel both pity and an irresistible urge to possess her.

This is the Zerg Mother Empress!

Even in a deep sleep, the unconscious possesses an astonishing allure.

The true Zerg race is composed of these Zerg Mother Empress.

The current Primal Universe.

The Zerg were also Peak Race that dominated the entire Primal Universe. Even their weakest members were at the World Lord Level upon reaching adulthood!

Although their population is extremely small, each Zerg Mother Empress at the World Lord Level is no less intimidating than any Marquis Level Immortal.

This is why the Zerg, despite their small numbers, are still considered one of the Peak Race.

"The Zerg Mother Empress is truly a perfect race born from the Primal Universe."

Yang Yu sighed.

He then carefully manipulated his Soul Power to penetrate the Zerg Mother Empress's body, and the moment it penetrated, Yang Yu was slightly shocked.

The Zerg Mother Empress's body was crystal clear, seemingly composed of countless energy Light Law.

Its body contains numerous channels and a total of 10,000 orbs of light, which are similar to the Origin Bead of a normal World Lord's soul!

However, because their Life Structure are completely different, the Zerg Mother Empress has 10,000 Soul Source, which are connected by countless energy Light Law, forming a mysterious and peculiar network.

As Yang Yu 'gazed' at this Soul Network, he immediately felt an invisible, bewitching force spreading out, attempting to influence his mind.

However, this had a negligible impact and did not affect Yang Yu's mind in the slightest.

"What an amazing physical structure! No wonder the Zerg can control so many subordinates. With ten thousand Soul Source, they are born with the ability to do everything at once!" Yang Yu exclaimed.

Moreover, this is only the initial state. Later, the Zerg Mother Empress only needs to reach a simple tenfold Psychic Amplitude, which means she can use her mind to do ten thousand things at once!

If you can achieve a hundredfold Psychic Amplitude, then you can use a million things at once!

Its potential is extremely exaggerated.

This is why every Zerg Mother Empress is Soul Master of the soul, capable of controlling a massive number of minions to form perfect Combined Attack.

The combined Combined Attack of millions of peak-level Zerg Warrior at the World Lord Peak was something even ordinary King-level Immortal wouldn't dare to withstand head-on.

Of course, this is on the premise that there are enough resources for the Zerg Mother Empress to cultivate so many warriors.

After thoroughly examining the Zerg Mother Empress, Yang Yu withdrew his Soul Power, pondered for a moment, and finally decided against immediately enslaving Zerg Mother Empress.

Even if Yang Yu had an additional Zerg Mother Empress at the World Lord Level, the help it would provide would be very limited, but it would require an investment of at least several million Hunyuan, making it very low cost-effectiveness.

With this money and resources, it would be better to invest in the Moyun Vine help it break through to immortality.

After all, Yang Yu's current weakness isn't in combat power, but in defense.

Whether it's the Zhuliuyin Clone, the Demon Dragon Clone, or the Immortal Level Soul Slave Yingshan Qiong, they can all provide sufficient combat power.

Another point is that in the Original Work, this Zerg Mother Empress was actually quite important to Luo Feng's fate.

Although it didn't play a significant role for Luo Feng, it was because Luo Feng enslaved the Zerg Mother Empress that the story of Treasure Hunt in the Garbage Mountain and discovering the Bing Jia and Jiang Jia there came about.

The unique Battle Armor from the Yan God Clan was also one of the keys that enabled Luo Feng to unleash his extraordinary Combat Power and rise to prominence.

Without this, Luo Feng's rise to power would be much slower, and there might be other unexpected changes along the way.

So after some consideration, in order to avoid affecting Luo Feng's normal growth trajectory, Yang Yu ultimately decided to temporarily abandon the idea of enslaving the Zerg Empress.

Not only does Yang Yu not plan to touch the Zerg Mother Empress, but Yang Yu also doesn't plan to touch the 'Nine Calamities Secret Manual', 'Star Tower', and so on.

These are the most important things to Luo Feng.

Yang Yu didn't want his arrival to change too much.

Most importantly, my body is not suitable for cultivating the Nine Calamities Secret Manual. With the Thunder Inheritance, I don't need to take this path.

On the contrary.

Luo Feng, however, desperately needed these.

As the protagonist he loved most in his previous life, Yang Yu didn't want to relentlessly seize the opportunities that were rightfully his.

Yang Yu has his own path and his own opportunities. The key is to do his best and cultivate diligently.

With these thoughts in mind, Yang Yu turned and left the castle.

Yang Yu then flew around the Earth several times to thoroughly check it. After confirming that the Earth was safe, Yang Yu's Human Original Body went to Mars to begin his secluded cultivation.

Several years later.

Yang Yu opened his eyes. "The Qualification Battle have started. Let's go check on Xiao Chen and the others."

Consciousness connects to the Virtual Universe.

Yang Yu appeared at a restaurant in Yuxiang Mountain.

This is where they often gather together.

"Brother Yu, over here!"

Ai Chen shouted happily when he saw Yang Yu appear.

Yang Yu looked over.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Dong Nanbiao had already arrived.

"It's rare to see everyone gathered here," Yang Yu said, walking over and sitting down next to Ai Chen. "Is it because of the Qualification Battle that are about to start?"

"Yes," Dong Nanbiao said with a smile, "After so much training, it's time to prove myself!"

A fierce fighting spirit also flashed in Hong's eyes at this moment.

Over the years, neither of them has relaxed for a moment, all for the sake of showing their skills in the Qualification Battle.

"It seems you're quite confident, Nanbiao," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Hong and I have completed many Cultivation Mission over the years, and with the superior resources of the Virtual Universe Company, our strength has improved considerably. Let's see if we can make it through this Qualification Battle in one go."

Dong Nanbiao's resolute face was full of expectation.

He had been longing for the cultivation conditions of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm for a long time.

In the next century, he still wants to reach the Taichu Secret Realm!

"Yes, that's good, confidence is key." Yang Yu looked approvingly at Dong Nanbiao and Hong.

We are also looking forward to their performance.

"By the way, Xiao Feng, why haven't I been able to get in touch with you these past few years?" Yang Yu turned to Luo Feng and asked.

"Ahem, that's a long story." Luo Feng was a little embarrassed, but he truthfully recounted his experiences in Magic Mountain over the years.

However, Luo Feng only vaguely mentioned the matter of inheritance, saying only that he had encountered an important opportunity and that he was unable to concentrate before, but now he could slightly spare his mind to enter the Virtual Universe.

After everyone finished listening...

I was both angry that Luo Feng was kicked off the Magic Mountain by Molo, and happy that Luo Feng could turn misfortune into good fortune.

"That Molo is really cunning," Ai Chen couldn't help but say. "I heard he's spreading rumors that Luo Feng framed him. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been killed by you on Magic Mountain."

"Bang!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng was so enraged that he slammed his fist on the table. "That idiot! I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget in this Qualification Battle!"

Everyone knows Luo Feng's character, and knows that he must have been disgusted by Molo this time.

"Xiao Feng, don't be angry. You'll learn from this experience. We'll make some profit in the Qualification Battle first, and then find another opportunity to take care of this scum. It's not worth getting angry over such a piece of trash."

Yang Yu said.

"Brother Yu is right, I should have listened to you more back then."

"It's alright. These things only leave a lasting impression after you've experienced them. It's not too late to understand now. Come on, let's drink."

Yang Yu raised his glass.

Seeing this, the others also raised their glasses.

They chatted for a while longer.

Yang Yu also took the opportunity to tell everyone about his current relationship with Ai Chen.

This prompted everyone to raise their glasses in celebration.

Luo Feng, in particular, kept calling Ai Chen extremely happy.

Finally, most of the day has passed.

The gathering then came to an end.

Tomorrow, they will face their first Qualification Battle.
