Twelve-Light-Year Divine Body!

Seeing his wealthy and powerful young female master staring blankly into the Virtual Universe, Tang Ping rubbed his hands together, a hint of embarrassment on his face, and tactfully reminded her, "Master, according to the rules we agreed on before, I should—have I passed the test, right?"

Wind-Thunder Venerable then withdrew his wandering thoughts and carefully examined the disciple before him, a faint purple light swirling in his Double Pupils.

The reason he took him in as a disciple was mostly because he felt a connection with him. The boy's personality was seven or eight parts like his own, and even his talent for cultivation and his fighting style were exactly the same.

Given Tang Ping's initial display of talent, she never expected this disciple to be able to stand on his own so early. Originally, she just wanted to keep him by her side and nurture him, watching "another version of herself" grow in her spare time, which would be quite an interesting thing.

But now it seems that this is no ordinary disciple who has taken a liking to her, but a peerless genius who is hard to find even once in a million or even ten million epochs! What's even more outrageous is that she picked up this precious disciple casually in the Ganwu Secret Realm back then.

Could it be that I possess an innate talent for recognizing talent? Otherwise, how can I explain it being me, among so many students in the Ganwu Secret Realm, that I was able to spot Tang Ping at a glance?

That's so true to me!

"Hmm!" She nodded slightly, her small hands behind her back, and turned to look at the boundless sky. Despite her petite and charming figure, she suddenly exuded an aura of overwhelming grandeur, and then asked proudly, "A gentleman's word is his bond. In that case, Tang Ping, would you be willing to become my personal disciple?"

"Thump!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Ping knelt down on both knees. "Disciple Tang Ping pays respects to Master! A teacher for a day is a mother for life. From now on, disciple will serve Master wholeheartedly and without any disloyalty! Anyone who dares to disrespect Master will be disciple's mortal enemy! Disciple will protect Master's safety and honor with his life!"

Upon hearing this, Wind-Thunder Venerable couldn't help but chuckle.

She knew this guy too well; his personality was practically a carbon copy of hers. If he didn't scheme against her hard-earned fortune one day, she could laugh herself awake.

However, those words sounded pleasant, so she decided to try saying them to her teacher later to see if she could get any benefits out of it.

"Yes, get up." Wind-Thunder Venerable raised his hand. "Since you have met the standard, then the promise made to you before..."

"The Thousand Illusion Jade Soul, capable of conjuring independent clones out of thin air," I'll have someone deliver it to you in a while.

She paused, then added, "You can use this time to figure out what kind of clone you want to create. I must remind you, this treasure can only create flesh-and-blood clones, and the Gene Multiplier cannot exceed three hundred times. You only need to take a fragment of a flesh-and-blood life form."

"Three hundred times?" Tang Ping's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked expectantly, "If I ask Luo Feng for a scale from the Golden Horned Beast, can I condense a clone of the Golden Horned Beast? Then, taking advantage of the Golden Horned Beast's ability to condense multiple clones, wouldn't I be able to condense three more clones?"

Wind-Thunder Venerable's lips suddenly twisted into a grotesque smile.

When she first obtained a similar treasure, she asked her master Old Man Peng Gong, the same question, only to be severely ridiculed by him. Now that she is a respected master, she shouldn't be like Old Man Peng Gong, enjoying discouraging her disciples' dreams.

But I really couldn't resist!

"Hahahahaha!" Wind-Thunder Venerable bent over, clutching his stomach with both hands, laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up. His clear laughter echoed endlessly in the void.

Tang Ping: "----"

He stood there, his face full of black lines, watching his master laugh for a full ten minutes. The problem was, he couldn't beat him in a fight, so he could only hold it in.

I'm shivering and freezing!

After a long while, Wind-Thunder Venerable finally managed to stop laughing, but the smile in his eyes was still undisguised. "Hehe, disciple, you shouldn't think too much. The Primal Universe has its own fixed rules, and unless there is a heaven-defying encounter, no one can violate or destroy them."

Under normal circumstances, a living being can only condense a maximum of three clones, but this Thousand Illusion Jade Soul "can only help you condense one, even if you choose Special Lifeform that can condense clones on its own, it won't work."

"Alright!" Tang Ping looked regretful, but then his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Does Master have any special recommendations? I want one with an extremely large divine body, the bigger the better, preferably millions or tens of millions of kilometers!"

Wind-Thunder Venerable rolled his eyes. "Flesh-and-blood life forms aren't Plant Lifeform or rock-based life forms. With your current ability to withstand three hundred times the genetic limit, your divine body is probably only a few hundred to a thousand kilometers at most. You should be more realistic and stop daydreaming."

Tang Ping stroked his chin, thought about it carefully, and felt that what his master said made sense.

However, upon further reflection, a divine body spanning several thousand kilometers is already quite powerful, though it is indeed considerably weaker than the divine bodies of those Special Lifeform that are thousands of times larger.

He pondered for a moment, then looked up and tentatively asked, "Master, have you ever heard of the Lord of Nine Serenities?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wind-Thunder Venerable's eyes. "How do you know him? I've heard my teacher mention him before. He's an existence standing at the very top of the pyramid of the Primal Universe, and his divine body is indeed extremely enormous. But his combat power is even more terrifying; his Gene Multiplier is definitely over five hundred times. You shouldn't even think about messing with him."

Tang Ping immediately began to make up a story. "Master, you don't know, I like to browse the virtual network when I have nothing to do."

A while ago, I met a netizen on the platform named "Old Ancestor God Cang." When I was bragging to him, I said that my master was incredibly powerful, and my Grandmaster was invincible. But that guy disagreed, saying that he had a subordinate called the Lord of Nine Serenities who was even more powerful than my Grandmaster.

"Of course I couldn't stand it, so I immediately retorted, saying that my Grandmaster was a supreme Universe Master, so what did his subordinates amount to, no matter how powerful they were?"

"He said that the Lord of Nine Serenities' divine body alone was twelve light-years in size, and even if my Grandmaster fought him for a hundred million years, he still couldn't kill him. I was even more unconvinced and told him that my Grandmaster had such a powerful grand-disciple as me, but did the Lord of Nine Serenities have one?"

"Then that Old Ancestor God Cang said that the Lord of Nine Serenities had bred many offspring, and even the most ordinary offspring of a World Lord possessed a divine body spanning 80 million kilometers. He told me to fight him as I pleased, and if I killed him, he would compensate me—"

Master, could you possibly get me some blood from that Realm Lord's offspring?

Wind-Thunder Venerable rolled his eyes. "You really think highly of me! The Lord of Nine Serenities could crush me more easily than an ant. And to be honest, what that Old Ancestor God Cang said was true; even your Grandmaster might not be able to do anything to the Lord of Nine Serenities."

"However—" she changed the subject, a sly glint in her purple Double Pupils, "How about this, if you can gain the recognition of the Time Origin Law within ten thousand years, I will ask my teacher to help you obtain a sample of the blood of the Lord of Nine Serenities Lord's offspring."

"As fellow powerful beings from the Primal Universe, he will surely give the teacher some face. Of course, I will also have someone investigate whether what that Old Ancestor God Cang said is true or false."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping was overjoyed.

It's a deal!

He had originally planned to ask the future Luo Feng to leave him a share, but he didn't expect his master to be so generous, which allowed him to do Luo Feng another favor.

Another life has been saved!

Moreover, if one could truly obtain the blood of the Lord of Nine Serenities's offspring, condense Blood Sea Clone, and eventually become an immortal divine body spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, wouldn't one be able to roam freely throughout the universe?

"Bang~"

A crisp popping sound, accompanied by a sharp pain in his head, instantly pulled Tang Ping back to reality from his sweet dream.

Wind-Thunder Venerable withdrew his small hand, his face full of disdain, and said, "Don't think that just because you have a large divine body, you can do whatever you want! The methods of the Alien Race are unpredictable and treacherous. If you are targeted by those powerful soul masters, no matter how large your divine body is, you will only become someone else's wedding dress!"

Tang Ping clutched his aching head. "Disciple understands, thank you for the reminder, Master!"

Waaah, Master is good in every way, except for his bad habit of hitting people.

"However, you don't need to worry too much." Wind-Thunder Venerable changed the subject, "The gift your Grandmaster gave you before was a powerful defensive Heavy Treasure that can protect your soul."

I'll bring it to you next time I return. With your current willpower and the protection of this Heavy Treasure, even an ordinary Venerable wouldn't be able to harm you."

She paused, then continued, "Once you break through to the Immortal Realm, your will will rise to another level. At that time, even the Universe Master will find it extremely difficult to enslave your soul in a short period of time. You will at least have enough time to self-destruct and escape."

Keep it up, my good apprentice!

"Real?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping's frustration and regret vanished.

Yay!
