Neighbors in Cultivation

Just as Yang Wu was being accepted as a disciple by the Nine Sword Venerable, in a relatively remote Huangman Universe Country, in an extremely quiet starry sky.

In this starry sky, there are no stars or planets, only occasional interstellar dust drifting by.

Within the Space Interlayer corresponding to this starry sky lies a magnificent and vast God Kingdom.

The Within God Kingdom is incredibly vast. In some of its forests and grasslands, large numbers of humans live, and there are even many cities. Even more people live there, and in each city there is a statue of a god.

But these humans were unaware that the gods they worshipped had already sided with Alien Race, and that the area they lived in was merely a small part of this vast God Kingdom.

About 30 million kilometers away from these human-inhabited areas, there is a towering mountain range that stretches for nearly 10 million kilometers. At its highest peak stands a temple that shines with golden light.

Inside the temple, there were massive, varied Zerg Warrior patrolling, and occasionally one could even spot some Immortal Level Zerg Warrior bodies were entirely golden.

Of course, besides these Zerg Warriors, there were also many humans dressed in robes of various colors in the hall. These two races, who should have been enemies, passed each other by without incident.

At the highest level of this temple stands a Zerg Mother Nest, over ten kilometers high, resembling a meteorite. Surrounding this Zerg Mother Nest are countless golden Zerg Warrior of different races; at a glance, there must be at least tens of thousands of them.

Perhaps the Immortal Zerg Warrior are no match for the Immortal God of humanity in a one-on-one fight, but if these Zerg Warrior unite under the command of the Zerg Mother Emperor, they could possess the power to sweep across half of the Cosmic Nation.

Apart from the supreme Universe Country Lord, no one Cosmic Nation the human universe can rival them.

"Owner!"

Three humans dressed in golden robes were surrounded by a large group of Zerg Warrior outside the Zerg Mother Nest, but their faces showed no panic. Instead, they bowed respectfully to the Zerg Mother Nest.

"What calls me?" A very soft voice came from within the Mother Nest, echoing throughout the entire temple.

"Master!" the Golden-Robed Man leader said respectfully, "An Immortal God we have planted within the Virtual Universe Company has sent word that in the recent Peak Genius Battle held by humanity, an unparalleled genius emerged. This individual, after just entering Chaos City to study the Chaos Stele, has already passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge!"

"Peak Genius Battle?" the gentle voice countered. "Star Level?"

"Yes!"

The Golden-Robed Man respectfully said, "Master, that genius is named Yang Wu. He passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge with the strength of a ninth-level Star Level Realm cultivator! With such talent, he may very well rival the Seven Swords King of the human race in the future."

"Do you have a video?" A soft voice came from within the Zerg Mother Nest again.

"No!" the Golden-Robed Man said helplessly. "The videos of humans Heavenly Bridge can generally only be viewed at will by humans at the King Rank or above. We only have a few King Level Immortal planted within the Human Territory, and none of them are members of the Virtual Universe Company. They are not studying the Nine Universes Chaos Stele. If we rashly try to retrieve the videos, there is a risk of exposure."

"Yes!" A soft voice sighed, echoing, "The Virtual Universe has been of immense help to humanity. It was no easy feat for us to place a King Level Immortal inside; we absolutely cannot expose ourselves because of such a trivial matter!"

"This person participated in the Peak Genius Battle, so he's probably not too old. With such talent, he certainly has a chance to rival the Seven Swords King. However, we'll have to see how he performs in Chaos City over the next thirty years. Therefore, for now, we'll rank Yang Wu as No. 3, and the other targets will be ranked lower!"

"Yes!" the Golden-Robed Man replied respectfully.

"At the same time, have our spies within Human Territory gather as much personal information as possible about Yang Wu, especially his age. Yang Wu is currently in humanity's Initial Universe, so we can't touch him. Once he's released at the Domain Lord Level, we must strike him dead in one blow!"

"Yes, Master!" the Golden-Robed Man replied respectfully. "No. 3 comes from the Ganwu Universe Country. I will immediately issue an order to the branch members in the Ganwu Universe Country to gather relevant information about this person."

"Go!" the gentle voice said.

Then, the three Golden-Robed Man bowed simultaneously and slowly withdrew from the temple.

On the other side, after leaving the Nine Sword Venerable's residence, Yang Wu also activated his own Virtual Universe Network receiver.

Immediately, a series of email notification messages arrived.

"Master, there are a total of 121 emails and 7 call requests!" Chi Yan's voice rang in Yang Wu's mind.

After a brief investigation, Yang Wu discovered that most of the emails he received were from Universe Venerable, as well as some extremely powerful King Level Immortal.

As for the others, they were congratulatory emails from his good friend Luo Feng, and some other geniuses with whom he had close relationships.

Yang Wu quickly browsed through all the emails.

"Chi Yan, reply to all the seniors who sent emails expressing their willingness to take me as their disciple, and tell them that I have already become the disciple of Nine Sword Venerable, and I have no choice but to decline their kindness!" Yang Wu ordered directly.

"Yes, Master!"

Soon, the news that Yang Wu had become the disciple of the Nine Sword Venerable spread.

Given their status Venerable Ones, they naturally wouldn't spread the news, but Yang Wu did reply to some emails from those King Level Immortal. These King Level Immortal also had many friends around them...

Therefore, in just half an hour, the news of Yang Wu becoming the Nine Sword Venerable spread like wildfire.

Surprisingly, this news didn't come as too much of a surprise.

Because, at the same time that Yang Wu became the Nine Sword Venerable, two great Universe Country Lord appeared in Chaos City, and at the same time wanted to take Rong Jun, who had only passed the first level of the Heavenly Bridge, as their disciple.

This news immediately overshadowed the fame of Yang Wu becoming the disciple of the Nine Sword Venerable.

Yang Wu's ability to pass the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge demonstrates a strength far surpassing that of other geniuses. It's not too surprising that someone with such talent could become a disciple of Venerable.

Rong Jun, however, was different. He had only passed the first level of the Heavenly Bridge, and his Law Comprehension was not much different from others. Moreover, there was Bolan, who had passed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, so Rong Jun's becoming a disciple naturally aroused the jealousy and fighting spirit of many geniuses.

However, these things did not attract Yang Wu's attention at all.

"First, find the rooftop of the Cultivation Residence the creator of the <Lieyan> secret technique once lived, and then buy the manual and begin practicing!"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately transformed into a phantom and quickly took flight, beginning his search within the Chaos City for the Cultivation Residence that the Nine Sword Venerable had reminded him of.

Chaos currents drifted.

Yang Wu walked along the streets of Chaos City, looking at a Cultivation Residence ahead. On the wall of this dwelling, there was an inscription: 'Nine Universes'.

Any Cultivation Residence with the name of Chaos Stele engraved on its wall is considered a public Cultivation Residence of the corresponding sect in Chaos City, and private occupation is prohibited.

Because, in addition to the 52 Chaos Tablets, there are many other excellent rooftop inscriptions in this Chaos City, the rooftops where these inscriptions are recorded naturally become 'public Cultivation Residence's that everyone can come and see.

The place in front of Yang Wu, the former Cultivation Residence of the founder of the <Lieyan> secret technique, is now a public Cultivation Residence for the Nine Universe Lineage.

Yang Wu entered the residence and quickly went up the stairs to the rooftop.

At this moment, no one on the rooftop was trying to understand.

This is not surprising. Although the <Lieyan> secret technique is quite good, most of it is only the basic version. And those below the Immortal who can come to this Chaos City are few and far between, and even fewer choose the Nine Universe Lineage.

The rooftop of this residence, which measures 100 meters in length and width, is covered with numerous messy inscriptions, clearly not drawn by a single person.

Yang Wu continued browsing through these inscriptions, and finally, in a rather conspicuous place, he sensed a familiar fluctuation.

At that location, 108 different patterns were engraved, and Yang Wu quickly sensed a special artistic conception from those patterns.

These 108 patterns represent the 108 essential aspects of the Origin Law of Space. Yang Wu has already fully comprehended the first Raindrop Diagram on the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, so he can naturally understand the first few of these 108 patterns.

"So, the <Lieyan> secret technique, just like <Piaoxue>, fully explains these 108 essences using spear techniques, and it matches my attributes perfectly. No wonder my teacher said that <Lieyan> is more suitable for me!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"Yang Wu!"

As Yang Wu was pondering, a clear voice rang in his ears.

Yang Wu quickly turned his head to look.

A stunningly beautiful girl with flowing Green Coin hair and Green Coin markings on her face gracefully landed on the rooftop. She was none other than Qian Shui, a member of the Taichu Secret Realm and one of the top ten in this year's Genius Battle.

Qian Shui landed on the rooftop and said softly, "Yang Wu, congratulations on being accepted as a disciple by the Venerable!"

"Thank you!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

During his three-year journey, Yang Wu had some contact with the genius brother and sister from the Mysterious Land August Planet's and had become quite familiar with them. Jiang Mo, in particular, was a very nice person.

"Yang Wu, are you looking for a suitable CD burner?" Qian Shui asked softly.

"Yes!" Yang Wu nodded and said, "With the teacher's guidance, I quickly found this place. The inscription here is indeed very suitable for me. Qian Shui, how's your search going?"

"Just as I thought!" Qian Shui thought to himself.

With her teacher's recommendation, she had three good options for burning records. After watching all three rooftop recordings, she quickly chose the one that best suited her needs.

When Qian Shui returned, she found Yang Wu already on the rooftop. She had originally intended to choose two other recordings, but the recording here was the most suitable for her.

Moreover, Qian Shui's teacher had once told her that the thirty years in Chaos City were the thirty years of greatest change in the growth of countless geniuses, and she must make the best choice.

With that thought in mind, Qian Shui finally made up her mind and said softly with a smile, "I was just looking for a suitable burning disc for myself, and I finally found that the burning discs here are the most suitable for me!"

"What? Could it be that Qian Shui also follows the path of analyzing the Law Essence?" Yang Wu was slightly surprised.

But when Yang Wu looked in the direction Qian Shui was pointing, he realized he was wrong.

Because what Qian Shui was referring to was an inscription at another location.

Although this Cultivation Residence belongs to the Nine Universe Lineage, it was not only the founder of the <Lieyan> secret technique who lived here. Before and after him, there were naturally other people who lived here as well.

It's not surprising that some of these recordings are suitable for Qianshui.

This Cultivation Residence is a public Cultivation Residence belonging to the Nine Universe Lineage, so naturally no one can occupy it by themselves.

Fortunately, the rooftop is extremely spacious, measuring hundreds of meters in both length and width, so even if hundreds of people gathered here at the same time, it wouldn't feel crowded.

Yang Wu and Qian Shui chose different recording methods, so they naturally wouldn't affect each other.

And so, Yang Wu and Qian Shui stayed on the same rooftop and began their cultivation journey in Chaos City.
