A Hundred and Seven: Concerns

In the Original District of Yu Xiang Mountain, Lu Yan'an sat cross-legged in a quiet room, slowly opening his eyes.

"We actually had to use strategy to get through." Lu Yan'an shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. "These three are definitely not simple guys. If I hadn't used my illusion magic as a trump card at the end, we definitely wouldn't have been able to win in a direct confrontation!"

The Gatekeeper at the foot of this Primal Tongtian Mountain are 10 times stronger Gatekeeper at the base! And the Gatekeeper at the summit are 10 times Gatekeeper at the foot! To truly conquer this Primal Tongtian Mountain, one needs at least the strength to have passed the 12th level of the Tongtian Bridge at the Universe Level.

"I still haven't grasped the essence enough!"

Lu Yan'an recalled the previous battle and began to reflect on the shortcomings in the process. Although his strategic advantage had brought him the last laugh, he was also well aware that it was only due to the Minotaur Warrior and the Ape-Man Controller's momentary carelessness that they had not anticipated Lu Yan'an's strength as Illusionist and had been caught off guard.

If given another chance, the well-prepared Gatekeeper would never stumble in the same place twice.

At the same time.

In the Virtual Universe, Thunder Island was bustling with activity. All the senior management members of the company, at the level of Venerable or above, knew the news: Lu Yan'an had conquered the Primal Tongtian Mountain!

"The Primal Tongtian Mountain! Finally, a descendant of our Human Race has conquered this Primal Tongtian Mountain. Countless people had foreseen this day, but no one expected it to come so soon. Moreover, he has been cultivating for less than a hundred years, and he has been away from Chaos City for less than a year!"

With long, reddish-brown hair, translucent skin, and dark eyes, and a vertical line between his brows, the Lord of Tian Shi Palace sat to the side, sipping the Purple Fire Ape Wine, clicking his tongue in amazement. "As expected of Lu Yan'an, a genius who caused such a stir as soon as he entered the Virtual Universe Company, even earning the City Lord of Chaos's disciple."

This Purple Fire Ape Wine can only be cultivated by the unique life form "Purple Fire Ape" born in the universe. Although the Purple Fire Ape has the word "ape" in its name, it is actually not related to the "Ape-man Race Clan," a branch of the Human Race. It was born from the universe and is the materialized form of a ball of Zihuo. It only resembles an ape in appearance, but in essence, it is still a magical flame! It has extremely powerful combat capabilities.

There are tens of thousands of Purple Fire Apes in the universe. Over endless Years, the number of Purple Fire Ape will only decrease and will not increase in the slightest.

However, the Years has also given rise to some super-strong individuals among the Purple Fire Ape. In addition, their living environment is unique. For example, if they were to venture into certain extremely terrifying fiery areas, even Universe Venerable would not dare to enter, as they would be burned to ashes. But the Purple Fire Ape are not worried about this. What makes them famous throughout the universe is the fine wine they brew, and the world is named after them – "Purple Fire Ape Wine".

This wine, in its very flavor, is the finest of all wines. Moreover, even in the Virtual Universe, it would cost over a hundred million Hunyuan Unit to taste! Even an ordinary King-level Immortal could not possibly afford this Purple Fire Ape Wine.

The Void Palace Void Palace Master eyes held the power of the sun, moon, stars, and the universe, was utterly shocked. "How long has it been? Could it be that he already possessed the strength to pass through the Primal Tongtian Mountain when he received the recognition of the Origin Law of Light?" The Void Palace Master shook his head, seemingly unable to believe it. After all, he was a witness who had personally seen Lu Yan'an receive the recognition of the Origin Law of Light!

"Lu Yan'an has already conquered the Primal Tongtian Mountain in less than a year! Could it be that he has also reached the 13th level of the Tongtian Bridge?"

This was almost entirely beyond his comprehension.

An overwhelming sense of awe washed over him. "This, this kind of potential, is truly unbelievable."

Countless Feng Hou, even those who had been granted Feng Wang, were trapped at this hurdle, spending endless Years studying the Law Essence. Yet, for this monstrous human genius, it was surprisingly simple.

At this moment.

The Venerable Ancestral Tree with green skin frowned and said, "Have you considered that Lu Yan'an has already passed through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, and it's estimated that he won't be far from breaking through to the Domain Lord level? How much pressure will he face then?"

The three people having this conversation are three veteran Overlord of the Human Race, all of whom belong to the senior management level within the Virtual Universe Company.

"Given the potential he's shown so far, if the news leaks, this peerless genius will absolutely drive the Alien Race mad! A little guy at the Universe Level, tsk tsk, he's still quite easy to 'kill'!" said the green-skinned Venerable Ancestral Tree.

"We don't need to worry about such things," the Lord of Tian Shi Palace said with a shake of his head. "Perhaps the City Lord also considered this situation before ordering his condition to be covered up!"

For these three invincible powerhouses, the City Lord of Chaos's order to conceal the truth was quite unexpected. Many of humanity's most brilliant talents faced assassination attempts by Alien Race spies as their first hurdle.

Human Race have never concealed the reputation of geniuses.

The birth of a peerless figure cannot be concealed. Thousands or tens of thousands of years of cultivation could very well lead to the information being leaked somewhere. Even the genius himself might not know the details or reasons that led to his exposure.

There are countless Alien Race spies lurking within the Human Race, like weeds in a field; humans simply cannot kill them all, they keep growing back. A large number of them are infiltrating the Human Race, and some even have great intelligence who want to infiltrate Chaos City.

Moreover, whenever a human's most brilliant genius is assassinated, it's always said to be the work of a spy from Alien Race. But in reality, some geniuses simply die from internal power struggles within the human race. As long as the perpetrators are clean enough, the blame is always placed on a spy from Alien Race. Over countless Years, this has essentially become a tacitly accepted rule.

Learning how to survive is a hurdle that every genius must overcome before transforming into a powerful individual!

Because of the Lord of Darkness's cover-up, news of Lu Yan'an's passage through the Primal Tongtian Mountain did not spread; it only circulated within a small circle among the highest levels of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Junior Brother Darkness, your disciple is truly restless! He's caused me trouble again. I just ordered the news of him reaching the 12th level of the Tongtian Bridge to be covered up, and now he's created the Primal Tongtian Mountain! If I hadn't been careful and ordered all information about him to be covered up beforehand, he would have been exposed this time!" The City Lord of Chaos complained to the Lord of Darkness.

"Hahaha, do you think I don't know you, senior brother? You'd be overjoyed to have such a talented junior, how could you possibly complain about the trouble!" The Lord of Darkness "exposed" him mercilessly, even adding a touch of mockery to his expression.

"Tch, isn't this all because you didn't teach your own disciple properly and insisted on making me do it all! If you had paid even a little more attention to this disciple, I wouldn't be suffering like this!" The City Lord of Chaos said irritably. "And the same goes for the previous Youhou. He took on a disciple and then dumped everything on me. You certainly played your cards right!"

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior Brother, but I only did this out of unconditional trust in you!" the Lord of Darkness "excused." As fellow disciples who rose from humble beginnings, the City Lord of Chaos and the Lord of Darkness had the best personal relationship among all the Universe Master. Therefore, their disciples were also the closest. This was also why Venerable Gui Yi took such good care of Lu Yan'an.

"It's alright now. Once he breaks through to the Domain Lord level, that'll be the real headache. But don't even think about escaping making arrangements for him then!" the City Lord of Chaos laughed.

"What? Senior brother, what did you say? The signal in the Virtual Universe here is not very good right now, I can't hear anything! Let's leave it at that for now, we can talk again when the signal is better..." The Lord of Darkness hung up the video call in the Virtual Universe as soon as he finished speaking.

"This guy is getting lazier and lazier!" The City Lord of Chaos chuckled and scolded, somewhat speechlessly. "He's really become a hands-off manager, hasn't he?" The City Lord of Chaos rubbed his slightly sore eyes and smiled wistfully.

He was also quite troubled by Lu Yan'an's arrangements. According to the requirements of the Virtual Universe Company, Core Member at the Universe Level were to cultivate in the Virtual Universe Company's core "Four Great Secret Realms," peacefully listening to lectures from many immortals, cultivating, and accepting cultivation tasks.

Core Member at the Domain Lord level, one would lead a guard team to seize power in a certain Universe Country. This would truly mark the beginning of one's involvement in various matters within the universe, signifying departure from the Virtual Universe Company's wing, where everything would require independent effort. However, the problem is that Lu Yan'an's current displayed talent is simply too terrifying, so terrifying that even the City Lord of Chaos dares not casually allow him to leave.

"Fine, that brat Darkness will have to pay a price!" the City Lord of Chaos said viciously. "When you get back, you won't be able to dodge this strike no matter what!"
