Paying Respect to a Master

On Laiyin Planet, you may not know the countless powerful cultivators who come here to cultivate, or even the occasional World Lord.

Even World Lord Level powerhouses wouldn't dare to make a move on Laiyin Planet.

But you absolutely must know the master of Laiyin Planet.

Long before arriving on Laiyin Planet, Yang Wu had already learned a great deal about Owner of Laiyin Planet, 'Natie,' which is why Yang Wu chose Laiyin Planet as his training ground.

Therefore, Yang Wu recognized Natie as soon as it came to Yang Wu side.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Yang Wu quickly stood up and greeted him with a slightly respectful air.

As for the rule of not making any noise in the Flame Mountain? The master of Laiyin Planet is right in front of us, what rules are we talking about?

Natie glanced at the other powerful individuals cultivating around them and said with a smile, "Let's not disturb everyone, let's go outside and chat!"

Yang Wu nodded, and then followed Domain Lord Natie towards the entrance to the World Lord World.

Meanwhile, Hei Ming, the Domain Lord was cultivating not far from Yang Wu, was startled when he saw Natie approaching Yang Wu. He quickly stopped cultivating and left the World Lord World.

However, Hei Ming clearly dared not follow Natie, so he could only return to his villa to wait for Yang Wu's news.

Yang Wu, on the other hand, followed Natie to a very large villa.

"Yang Wu, I've been observing you for a long time!"

Natie looked at Yang Wu seriously and said with a smile, "Since you came to Laiyin Planet, you have been cultivating in Flame Mountain. Even if you take a day off, you will appear again very quickly the next day. There are not many people among the Star Level cultivators who have such perseverance as you!"

Yang Wu listened attentively to Natie's words, but was secretly surprised.

Of all my experiences with Simulator, I didn't encounter Natie until two years later.

"Could something have changed?" Yang Wu wondered to himself.

Suddenly, Yang Wu realized something.

"That's right. In the Simulator, I only reached the fifth level of the realm two years later. Now that I've broken through even faster, the other party naturally noticed me much earlier!"

Sure enough, after praising Yang Wu, Natie finally revealed his purpose for coming.

"Haha, after all this talk, I haven't even introduced myself yet!"

Natie smiled and said, "In this Black Dragon Mountain Star Area, although many people know that my father is an Immortal God, very few people know his true identity!"

"My father was one of the Three Hundred Kings and Marquises personally appointed by the Ganwu Universe Country Leader, the Jinguang Marquis."

Natie's calm voice was already slightly excited, "My father is currently the youngest Marquis-level Immortal in the Ganwu Universe Country. Even among the tens of thousands of Immortal in the entire Ganwu Universe Country, he can be ranked at the top."

"Marquis-level Immortal?" Yang Wu was slightly surprised.

After watching the simulation, Yang Wu thought that Natie's father was just an Army Lord Level Immortal, but he didn't expect him to be ennobled as Marquis.

Although the number of powerful kings and marquises in the Cosmic Nation is largely exaggerated, Three Hundred Kings and Marquises in the Ganwu Universe Country possess at least the strength of Marquis-level Immortal.

That person is even stronger than Hu Yanbo.

Of course, Hu Yanbo also has a Marquis Level Immortal under his command, the 'Iron Sword Marquis,' so the outcome of a real battle is still uncertain.

"Yang Wu, would you be willing to become my father's disciple?"

After explaining Jinguang Marquis's status to Yang Wu, Natie asked very seriously.

"Although my father did not achieve Immortal by fully comprehending the Law of Fire, it is the Law of Fire that I cultivate. My father has also prepared many secret techniques for me, which are of immeasurable value. As long as you become his disciple, he can teach you all of these secret techniques!"

"Natie said with great anticipation."

"Lord Natie, I have a question," Yang Wu looked at the other man, "What do I need to do if I want to become your father's apprentice?"

At this moment, unlike his choices in the Simulator, Yang Wu was indeed somewhat tempted.

He has Simulator, and if he has a powerful backer, his experience in the Simulator will probably be much safer.

Moreover, in the last simulation, the person who ultimately killed Yang Wu was definitely not Natie. Because if Natie wanted to deal with Yang Wu, given his background, there was absolutely no need for him to wait until Yang Wu left Laiyin Planet before taking action.

Secondly, and most importantly, if Yang Wu could Jinguang Marquis's disciple, he would have a very strong background before the Genius Battle, making things much easier for him in the future. He might even be able to find the murderer who killed him in the Simulator.

Furthermore, based on Natie's experiences in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area over the past 20,000 years, one can roughly discern that Jinguang Marquis is a decent person.

"You don't need to do anything, just focus on your cultivation!"

Natie seemed to sense Yang Wu's interest and said directly, "My father wants to take you as his disciple, hoping to cultivate a strong person for humanity. After becoming his disciple, you can still cultivate here in Flame Mountain. Moreover, I have a powerful World Lord has been recognized by the Law of Fire by my side. You can ask him for guidance if you have any questions."

"Your luck isn't that great. The Universe Peerless Genius Battle is about to begin in a few years. Otherwise, with your talent, breaking into the top 1000 in the Ganwu Universe Country would be a piece of cake. You even have a great chance of breaking into the top 1000 in the entire universe!"

"But you don't need to worry too much!"

"Besides the Genius Battle, the Five Great Forces and our Ganwu Universe Country have many other ways to attract geniuses. As long as you can maintain your current cultivation speed, even if you don't break into the top 1,000 in the Ganwu Universe Country, your father can still send you into the Ganwu Secret Region!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu simply smiled and said nothing.

His target is Luo Feng!

That's a goal that's countless times more difficult than being ranked in the top 1,000 in the entire universe!

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say!" Natie's expression gradually became serious. "I wonder, Yang Wu, would you be willing to become my father, Jinguang Marquis, your disciple?"

"Lord Natie, I am willing to Jinguang Marquis's disciple!" Yang Wu nodded in agreement.

For Yang Wu, becoming Jinguang Marquis's disciple was entirely beneficial.

Moreover, after becoming an apprentice, Yang Wu is less likely to encounter unexpected events in the next simulation. The longer Yang Wu survives in the Simulator, the greater his chances of breaking into the top 1,000 in the universe!

Therefore, although Jinguang Marquis did not achieve Immortal through the Law of Fire, Yang Wu still agreed to become his disciple.

At the very least, it gave him a powerful background! If Yang Wu had already Jinguang Marquis's disciple before the last simulation, Yang Wu probably wouldn't have died so young.

"Great! Yang Wu, you can call me Senior Brother from now on!"

Upon hearing Yang Wu agree to become his apprentice, Natie was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Yang Wu, come with me into the Virtual Universe, let's go to Jinguang Island together!"

Natie knew the importance of striking while the iron was hot. If a genius like Yang Wu were discovered by other powerful figures, they would all vie to recruit him. The safest course of action was to take advantage of the fact that the people in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area were still relatively inexperienced and help Yang Wu become an apprentice as soon as possible.

Five minutes later, Yang Wu and Natie appeared together on Jinguang Island in the Virtual Universe.

"Yang Wu, your father is currently training on the Outer-Region Battlefield, and it will take him quite some time to return. So, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to become an apprentice in the Virtual Universe for now!" Natie said with a slight hint of apology on his face.

Generally speaking, when Immortal Expert takes on a disciple, they invite many friends and family members in real life to witness the Virtual Universe. While there are some cases like this, it is extremely rare.

However, Natie wanted to finalize things as soon as possible, and the cost of Jinguang Marquis rushing back to Ganwu Universe Country was quite high, so he had no choice but to become an apprentice in the Virtual Universe first.

Anyway, Yang Wu is only at the Star Level now, and he has a long future ahead of him!

Yang Wu, however, didn't care about any of that. His most important reason for becoming an apprentice was to gain a powerful background; it didn't matter if they didn't meet in real life!

And so, Yang Wu met his new teacher in the Virtual Universe, the youngest Marquis-level Immortal in the Ganwu Universe Country, the Jinguang Marquis.

"So you are Yang Wu?" Jinguang Marquis sat in the main seat, his eyes seemingly reflecting the rising and falling stars.

"I humbly request that you accept me as your disciple, Master!" Yang Wu knelt respectfully and shouted.

"After achieving Immortal, he has only taken on seven disciples in the tens of thousands of years since then."

Jinguang Marquis's gaze fell upon Yang Wu, and he said solemnly, "Yang Wu, from today onwards, you are my eighth personally instructed disciple! I hope you can go further on the path to becoming a powerful figure!"

"Disciple greets Master!"
