The Crowd Comes Pouring In
From Earth to Laiyin Planet, and from Laiyin Planet back to the current Chaos City, and now about to leave Chaos City for the Primal Secret Region...
Parents and family, teammates from the martial arts team, Hong and Thunder God, Teacher Jinguang Marquis, senior brother Natie...
In Yang Wu's short span of decades, he parted ways with far too many people!
But Chi Yan will always stay by his side, never leaving, and will never betray him!
Therefore, if Chi Yan could evolve into Intelligent Life, it would definitely make Yang Wu very happy.
Just like Babata and Mo Yun Vine are to Luo Feng.
Even though Luo Feng was able to cultivate the strongest Mo Yun Vine at a lower cost, he still chose to spend a greater amount of money to evolve the Mo Yun Vine that had been with him for many years.
Even though Babata could no longer help Luo Feng in the later stages, Luo Feng still spent an astonishing amount of money to purchase the Evolution Heart and enabled Babata to cultivate to the Peak King Level.
After so many years together, Chi Yan was no longer just a tool to Yang Wu, but a friend.
Now that this friend is gradually developing life-like characteristics, he is naturally happy.
Of course, while he was happy, Yang Wu didn't forget that he still had important things to do.
"Chi Yan, connect to the Virtual Universe!" Yang Wu ordered directly.
In a remote area of Chaos City, there is a vast yet simple mansion.
The Nine Sword Venerable, dressed in a blue battle robe, appeared in front of the mansion and was quickly invited into the hall by the mansion's owner Kandeli.
The Nine Sword Venerable came to Chaos City for two reasons: first, to take away the geniuses of Yang Wu's generation from Chaos City; and second, to invite the three-eyed old man before him to explore the secret realm.
Kandeli is an extremely ancient being among the Human Race, possessing extraordinary strength, and is revered by many super-powerful beings as the 'Guardian of Chaos City'.
His most famous move is the 'Clone Technique'. Although the Clone created by this 'Clone Technique' are not particularly strong, they still possess 60% of Kandeli's own power, and can even be compared to High Venerable without the protection of Heavy Treasure.
More importantly, the cost of creating such Clone is not high, and even if the Clone is destroyed, the impact on Kandeli is minimal.
This is also one of the most important reasons why the Nine Sword Venerable invited Kandeli.
At this moment, the two extraordinary beings had finalized their plans to explore the secret realm and were chatting casually.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on the face of the Nine Sword Venerable.
"What's wrong?" The three-eyed old man raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing!"
The Nine Sword Venerable waved his hand, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He said calmly, "It's just my newly accepted disciple, Yang Wu, who is planning to challenge the eighth level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge!"
"Oh?" Kandeli was slightly surprised, and asked with a smile, "If I remember correctly, your disciple is on the path of analyzing the Law Essence, right? Does that mean he's already confident he can pass the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge?"
While analyzing the Law Essence offers a significant advantage in later Law, the initial stages are incredibly difficult and much slower than ordinary comprehension methods.
"There shouldn't be any problem!" Nine Sword Venerable nodded slowly.
The Nine Sword Venerable was quite satisfied with Yang Wu, his newly accepted disciple. In the past thirty years, Yang Wu had only visited him once, twenty years ago, before directly passing through the Heavenly Bridge.
Therefore, the Nine Sword Venerable believed that since Yang Wu had previously said he was confident in passing the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge, then he must truly be confident.
"This year's Genius Battle is among the best of the hundreds of thousands of Genius Battle held by my Virtual Universe Company recently!"
Kandeli exclaimed, "Those two youngsters Rong Jun and Luo Feng, are quite good. And Bolan's strength has also improved greatly after changing his cultivation path! These three youngsters are all very outstanding, and they may become your right-hand men in the future!"
"If Yang Wu can really pass the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge before leaving Chaos City, then Nine Swords, you'll have struck gold! With such talent, if properly nurtured, he has a very good chance of being on par with us!"
On average, only one genius might emerge from every thirty Genius Battle who has passed the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge before leaving Chaos City; for the sixth level, it would probably take thousands of battles to produce one.
As for the seventh and eighth levels, those only appear once every tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of epochs.
Upon hearing this, the Nine Sword Venerable smiled. Being able to take Yang Wu as his disciple was indeed a very happy thing.
Kandeli chuckled and said, "Since we have nothing else to do, let's see if your disciple can actually get past the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge!"
Then, with a wave of Kandeli hand, a screen appeared in mid-air, displaying the scene inside the Heavenly Bridge Plane.
"It can definitely be done!" Nine Sword Venerable looked at the screen with great confidence.
Virtual Universe, the Heavenly Bridge Plane.
Yang Wu's figure suddenly appeared on the Central Island. He glanced around and saw that there were many more people around than usual.
Most of these people were newcomers who came to Chaos City at the same time as Yang Wu. After listening to the words of the Nine Sword Venerable, they all came to cross the Heavenly Bridge, wanting to comprehend the Chaos Stele one more time before leaving.
"It's Yang Wu."
"Yang Wu actually came to challenge the Heavenly Bridge? Could he possibly make it past the eighth level?"
"That's impossible, the difference can't be that big!"
"Yes, I heard from the old folks that the Heavenly Bridge to heaven gets progressively harder and harder, and even after thousands of years, it might not be possible to get past one level!"
The strongest among these geniuses had only passed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, yet they all seemed somewhat excited upon seeing Yang Wu appear.
Even some who had already crossed the Heavenly Bridge and were planning to leave stayed behind, wanting to know whether Yang Wu could actually pass the eighth level.
Yang Wu glanced at several familiar geniuses, nodded slightly, and then walked directly towards the Guardian Bafen.
"Guardian," Yang Wu greeted him with a hint of respect.
"Yang Wu, it's been years since I've seen you!" Upon seeing Yang Wu, the Guardian Bafen, dressed in a black Star Robe, smiled and said, "There's no one on the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge right now, so you can go and try it directly. I hope you can pass the eighth level!"
"Okay!" Yang Wu smiled and nodded, then transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and flew directly towards the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge not far away.
The other geniuses who witnessed this scene exchanged glances and then spread the news of Yang Wu's breakthrough on the Heavenly Bridge.
Meanwhile, the Guardian Bafen, also began sending mass emails.
In a very short moment.
Swish! Swish! Swish...
On the Central Island this incredibly beautiful Heavenly Bridge, figures appeared one after another.
Luo Feng, Bolan, Rong Jun, Long Yun, Wuka, Jiang Mo, and other top geniuses who didn't have anything important to do were all here at this time.
Most of these people were looking forward to Yang Wu's success, but Jiang Mo kept a cold expression on his face.
In fact, Jiang Mo and Yang Wu had a fairly good relationship. When Yang Wu Nine Sword Venerable, Jiang Mo even sent him a congratulatory email.
But any older brother would probably be unhappy to see his sister with another man for nearly thirty years!
"You little rascals, didn't you already cross the Heavenly Bridge just now? Do you want to cross it again?" Guardian Bafen looked at the group and asked with a smile.
"Guardian!" Wuka, the most cheerful member of the group, said with a smile, "We heard that Yang Wu is going to attempt the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge, so we want to see if he can actually make it! Guardian, may we watch Yang Wu's battle live?"
The other geniuses were also intrigued. If they could watch Yang Wu's battle live, they would know just how big the gap was.
The Guardian Bafen, hesitated before saying, "I don't have the authority to do this without Yang Wu's permission!"
After hearing the Guardian's words, many of the geniuses were somewhat disappointed.
Just then, three more figures appeared at the same time. They were none other than King Longyu, King Tongnan, and King Zhenyan, who had rushed over after receiving news of Yang Wu's attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge.
King Longyu happened to overhear everyone's conversation, so he immediately ordered, "Bafen, let them see it!"
As the first King Level Immortal under the Nine Sword Venerable, King Longyu holds a very high position in the Virtual Universe Company and naturally has the right to play videos in front of everyone.
Moreover, these geniuses will all be under the Nine Sword Venerable's command in the future, King Longyu naturally wants to think about the Nine Sword Venerable's future and let these people know the gap, so that they will work harder to cultivate.
"Yes!" Upon hearing King Longyu's order, the Guardian Bafen waved his hand, and a huge screen immediately appeared in front of everyone.
A video immediately appeared on the screen, showing Yang Wu, dressed in dark gold armor, transforming into Flowing Light and flying towards the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, powerful Immortal who never usually appear here showed up, making this Heavenly Bridge Plane suddenly lively.
After reaching the Immortal Realm, these great beings require an incredibly long time to advance each step, so they naturally don't come to this Heavenly Bridge Plane under normal circumstances.
"Hahaha!" The burly ape-man, King Zhenyan, clad in Gold Armor, laughed and said, "Today is truly extraordinary! To gather so many King Level Immortal —even more than before Yang Wu became his disciple!"
A King Level Immortal of the Winged Race with wings on his back said with a smile, "King Zhenyan, Yang Wu has shown remarkable talent since arriving in Chaos City. Today, he has come to challenge the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge, so naturally we all have to come and see for ourselves!"
"Indeed! Our Virtual Universe Company hasn't seen such a genius in a long time. Once Yang Wu passes the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge, let's see what that Giant Axe Fighting Arena has to say!"
"King Zhenyan, isn't Yang Wu the unparalleled genius of your Nine Universe Lineage? Do you think he can pass the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge?"
"Haha!" King Zhenyan said with a laugh, "Yang Wu does occasionally come to listen to our lectures, but he is not my disciple, and I don't know his exact strength!"
A group of Immortal God, who rarely gathered together, stood together and began to chat and laugh.
Such an opportunity is very rare for them.
Before long, the Immortal God who came to this Heavenly Bridge Plane to watch Yang Wu's breakthrough had unknowingly reached more than a hundred, making it even more lively than when Yang Wu first broke through the Heavenly Bridge.
Among these people are representatives from Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Fighting Arena, and the other three major powers.
Yang Wu has already been accepted as a disciple by the Nine Sword Venerable. They are not here to take on disciples, but are curious about whether Yang Wu can pass the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
After all, as early as thirty years ago, many of these people believed that Yang Wu had a great chance of passing through the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
Now, thirty years have passed, and it's time to see if everyone's suspicions come true.
Meanwhile, a group of geniuses nearby, seeing these great beings appear one after another, didn't dare to even breathe loudly.
Although these geniuses each possessed remarkable backgrounds, some even being disciples of King Level Immortal, this was truly the first time they had ever witnessed such a spectacle.
Just then, Yang Wu on the screen finally reached the end of the eighth level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.
