The Tang Family's Secret Grounds? They Were Actually the Human Race's Sword Hut!

The Initial Universe.

This is the gathering place for countless Human Race who are stuck at the King Rank or Grandmaster level and yearn to open the door to becoming Venerable.

However, time wears down most people's spirits, and they make little progress over the long years, so they gradually become complacent. In fact, many people believe that the difficulty in breaking through to a higher level is not due to a lack of diligence, but rather to a lack of opportunity. They think that a sudden enlightenment might just be the key to breaking through and reaching a higher level.

Furthermore, this Initial Universe gathers almost all the top geniuses of the Five Great Powers Human Race forces, and the rewards set by the races for cultivating a powerful being are quite generous. As long as one accumulates enough merit points, one can exchange them for rare and precious materials that can enhance comprehension, or powerful inheritances.

At that time, it will not be a fantasy to ascend to the heavens in one step and become Venerable.

A secret legend circulates in Chaos City: if one can cultivate a disciple with extraordinary talent, and as the disciple rises step by step and eventually becomes a Venerable, the Venerable can lead the way for the next Venerable, and incidentally elevate the master to the position of Venerable as well.

Under such temptation, many King Rank in the Initial Universe were extremely enthusiastic about taking on disciples.

Even if one cannot become Venerable, being able to train an Immortal Realm expert who can both run errands for oneself and gain merit for the clan is a sure-fire deal.

Moreover, time is boundless; if one doesn't find something to do, these billions of years will be hard to pass.

However, recently, a "black sheep" has entered Chaos City: King Anle, causing a lot of trouble for the grandmasters.

Despite being a grandmaster who had been granted the King Rank, he showed no demeanor of Venerable. Instead, he spent his days mingling with female geniuses from various races. He even went so far as to condescend to hold a teaching conference every ten years, specifically to guide female geniuses who were stuck in a bottleneck in their cultivation.

Who can't see through his filthy thoughts? His so-called "teaching" is nothing but lusting after people's beauty and bodies; it's utterly vulgar!

Despicable!

What's infuriating is that Tang Ping's disciples actually have some real skills. The women who received his "personal guidance" all made visible progress in their cultivation, with Long Jiangxue being the most outstanding. She has now joined the ranks of World Lord Rank geniuses in the Primal Secret Region Realm.

Upon hearing this news, female geniuses from all ethnic groups flocked to the Anle King Mansion's Mansion.

In the cosmic era, for the vast majority of powerful individuals, loyalty has long since faded into oblivion; only strength remains the foundation for survival.

Even those Immortal God of high status kept male concubines in their Divine Temple, playing with them daily, indulging in boundless pleasure and seeking endless enjoyment.

That way, no one will dare to say anything, right?

As a result, the Anle King Mansion became the liveliest place in Chaos City. Every day, female geniuses would sneak in and out under various pretexts, and rumors and gossip within the mansion never ceased.

Some narrow-minded male geniuses were so indignant that they reported Tang Ping to the higher-ups of the Human Race several times, accusing him of corrupting morals and disgracing the dignity of a grandmaster, and requesting that he be expelled from Chaos City, but their complaints were ignored by the higher-ups.

This outcome infuriated the male geniuses, who could only dedicate themselves to rigorous training, secretly vowing to one day surpass Tang Ping and humiliate him.

Time flies like water; hundreds of years can pass in the blink of an eye.

Tang Ping leaned against the windowsill, gazing at the unchanging desolation and loneliness Chaos City, a faint sigh passing through his eyes. Some people are born to be the protagonists of their time, able to stir up a storm wherever they are: like Luo Feng.

Since Luo Feng and King Zhen Yan went to the Ancestral God Religion, they have become the target of everyone's criticism in a short period of time.

Of the million inheritors of the Ancestral God Religion, a staggering 620,000 challenged him. Yet Luo Feng seized this opportunity to unleash his full power, winning over 100,000 matches and accumulating countless victories.

The Ancestral God Religion's competition uses Inheritance Points as stakes. These Inheritance Points can be exchanged for powerful inheritances of various levels. Ordinary people might not be able to obtain even one point in thousands of years, but Luo Feng has enough Inheritance Points to freely study various top-tier inheritances.

In the future, let alone becoming Venerable, he might even challenge the Lord of Cosmic Judgment.

Moreover, inheritance points can be traded. Since Luo Feng has so many, he can contribute them to his clan to increase its resources, and he can also exchange them for Supreme Treasure for himself.

It can be said that Luo Feng has become a thorn in the side of all Alien Race. Recently, even an Alien Race Venerable, a pillar of his race, directly sacrificed his life to try and trade one life for one with him. Keep in mind that at this time, Luo Feng is only a Realm Lord, an insignificant figure in the eyes of the Venerable.

The result was obvious: the countless Alien Race discovered that Luo Feng possessed Supreme Treasure protecting his soul, as well as an avatar. This drove the five top races even more mad, as they even saw the shadow of the next Chaos City Lord in Luo Feng.

That's terrifying!

Kill him! You must kill him!

These news shocked the King Rank of the Initial Universe, but they did not lose their composure too much. Having lived for billions of epochs, they had seen countless brilliant talents, but only those who survived to the end were true powerhouses.

What truly made them envious was that, through Luo Feng's connection, King Zhen Yan received the Beast God Inheritance Token as a reward from his clan, breaking through his limitations and achieving the position of Venerable!

Teaching apprentices really works!

In no time, the trend of recruiting disciples in Chaos City intensified.

However, many grandmasters thought again and realized that a charming, gentle, and fragrant female disciple would naturally be more to their liking than a rebellious male disciple. But when they looked at the female geniuses of Chaos City, they found that those with some beauty and talent all had some kind of relationship with Tang Ping.

This is intolerable! Another group of Grandmasters, now holding the King Rank, filed a complaint with the City Lord's Mansion, accusing Tang Ping of wrongdoing.

Upon receiving the message, Tang Ping felt quite aggrieved: he had only made a mistake that any man in the world might make, so why was everyone so hostile towards him?

Moreover, setting aside the facts, were those women who actively pursued him, and those King Rank caused trouble, entirely without fault?

"Hmm~ Your Majesty, why are you standing here in a daze again? You promised to teach me properly----" A soft, charming voice rang out, and the female genius of the Fishman Race wrapped her arms around his, pressing him tightly against her heart.

This Fishman Race was named Yu Xi. She had a slender figure, with long, silvery-white hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, the ends of which were adorned with a few strands of light blue scales that shimmered gently with her breath. Her eyes were a clear, glassy color, with slightly upturned corners, possessing the unique clarity and liveliness of aquatic creatures, while also carrying a hint of unconscious allure.

When she clung to me, a faint, refreshing scent wafted from her sleeves, her voice was so soft it seemed to drip with moisture, and even her fingertips carried a touch of gentle, watery warmth.

On the other side, Chi Yao, the newly promoted genius of the Fire Fox Clan, was surrounded by a faint, warm red aura, as if sparks were dancing in her hair.

She was beautiful and charming, with long, bright red hair loosely tied up, a few strands falling beside her cheeks, and a pair of small, delicate, fiery red fox ears standing upright on the tips of her ears, twitching slightly from time to time, adding a touch of naivety.

She tugged at Tang Ping's sleeve, her voice clear and sweet. "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, you said you would teach me the secret language of the Alien Race, you mustn't go back on your word."

Over the years, thanks to Huo Wu's connections, the Fire Fox Clan has received much care from Tang Ping, and the clan's power has gradually increased.

Over the past ten thousand years, they have finally cultivated a genius capable of entering the Virtual Universe Company's Doomsday Secret Realm. As soon as this little girl arrived in Chaos City, she received a secret hint from Huo Wu and immediately took the initiative to visit her, showing great understanding.

Tang Ping sighed softly, "The path of cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. You people have really caused me a lot of trouble."

Despite this, he shook his head, embraced one of them on each side, and turned to step into the inner room.

As a senior, he must properly "instruct" these young Human Race descendants today.

At the gates of Chaos City.

Tang Ping's family found a secluded corner and quickly formed a circle around it, while Tang Yiyi and Tang Guo's husband, holding Divine Weapon, vigilantly patrolled the outside.

After hundreds of years of arduous cultivation, coupled with several fortuitous encounters and guidance from renowned masters, Tang Yiyi finally comprehended the Lightning Law, while Tang Guo mastered the Fire Origin. The two only need to step out of the Initial Universe to advance to the legendary Immortal God and become official members of the Soul Hall.

But at this moment, unlocking the secrets hidden by the Old Tang Family for ten thousand years is their ultimate goal for this trip! If they succeed, they may be able to completely break free from the Soul Hall's shackles and roam freely in the universe.

Just imagine, they will soon be immortal. If they are no longer bound by shackles, how carefree they will be for billions of years to come, with the heavens and earth as their dwellings and the Milky Way as their roads!

With eager anticipation, Tang Yiyi and Tang Guo focused their efforts and worked together to decipher the other two jade pendants that Tang Ping had taken out.

"Ding~"

After a clear buzzing sound, the fragments formed by the three jade pendants automatically floated and pieced together in the air to form a complete map, the patterns on which shimmered with a mysterious light.

Chaos Beast roam the area outside the city, with many ferocious beasts lurking in packs. However, Tang An and his companions were already at the Peak World Lord Rank, and their Law Comprehension had even touched the threshold of immortality, so avoiding these strange beasts was not difficult for them.

The real test will be the next month of stealthy progress towards the target, as shown on the map. This matter concerns the secrets of the Soul Hall, and they must not only avoid the patrols of the Chaos Beast, but also guard against the spying of powerful figures who secretly covet the location.

Although the Initial Universe had an ironclad rule prohibiting fighting, no one could guarantee that the being who resided in Chaos City was watching everything at all times. After all, those King Rank -level figures could be annihilated with just a thought.

For the past month, the family has been on edge day and night, not daring to relax for a moment. Even closing their eyes to rest for a brief moment was filled with trepidation. As the saying goes, "He who travels a hundred miles is only halfway there at ninety," and the closer they get to the end, the more cautious they must be.

When they finally arrived at their destination, everyone's anxiety, fear, and excitement turned into astonishment.

What lay before them was not the entrance to the secret realm they had imagined, but a massive pit hundreds of millions of kilometers in diameter, surrounded by towering, cloud-piercing mountains, making the pit resemble a natural basin.

Unlike the desolation outside the city, the bottom of this basin was flat and neat, without a trace of weeds growing. Even more strangely, the Chaos Beast, which usually roamed freely, were now lingering far away, their eyes filled with fear, and dared not approach.

Tang Ping looked around and exclaimed in admiration, "What a wonderful place! The soil is fertile and the Origin Force is abundant. I'd love to cultivate it and start a farm!"

"Dad! Can you be serious for once! What about family secrets?" Tang An and the others were speechless.

They have struggled and faced life-or-death situations for thousands of years because of a glimmer of hope. If the result is false, their mentality will probably collapse.

Tang Ping shook his head, feigning profundity. "You guys are almost immortal, yet you're still so impatient. When will you learn to be as calm and collected as I am?"

As he spoke, he noticed his two daughters' eyes were filled with anger, and they had already raised their little fists. Only then did he slowly raise the map and proclaim in a loud voice. "Earthquake-ravaged hills, a thousand years of beauty in the Western Mountains. Facing the sea, three rivers converge and flow for ten thousand years."

The moment the words fell, the map suddenly burst forth with boundless light, and countless Flowing Light fell like a meteor shower, seeping into the earth beneath their feet.

Soon, various colored lights rose from the ground within a radius of billions of kilometers: blue representing the Wind Laws, purple representing the Thunder Laws, silver representing the Space Law, and gold representing the Time Law.

The light grew stronger and stronger, and its flow accelerated, eventually converging into dazzling pillars of light in the center of the basin.

"Boom~"

With a deafening roar that shook the universe, the first sword aura, ten thousand meters high, burst forth from the ground. The patterns on the sword's blade flowed, containing immense power of laws.

Tang An and the others had already retreated to the mountaintop, and looking at the towering sword energy, they were all deeply moved.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third sword energies rose one after another, their height constantly increasing—ten thousand meters, ten thousand kilometers, one hundred thousand kilometers—until three mighty giant swords, each a million kilometers tall, rose from the ground and stood firmly in the center of the basin, their oppressive aura suppressing the surrounding spacetime rules, their momentum soaring into the sky.

The surrounding Chaos Beast could no longer remain calm and scattered in all directions, forming a massive beast tide.

Unbeknownst to them, a number of extraordinary figures had gathered around the basin, each exuding a calm and collected aura. Gazing at the sudden, towering sword energy, their eyes were filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

What kind of treasure has appeared amidst these extraordinary phenomena?

Tang An and the others looked at Tang Ping, who stood at the front with his hands behind his back, feigning profundity, with resentment on their faces.

With such a huge commotion, and considering that everything in the Initial Universe originally belonged to the five major Human Race Five Great Powers, now not only is seizing family secrets out of the question, but even escaping unscathed is in doubt.

It's over!

Just then...

"Ding~"

Everyone's Virtual Universe received a forced pop-up window:

[Joint Declaration of the Five Great Powers Human Race Powers: In order to further cultivate the geniuses of our Human Race, the Cosmic Galaxy Bank Venerable Anle have integrated their understanding of the secret techniques of Thunder Time into their sword energy, and established the Sword Family!]

Geniuses who have the need to comprehend the corresponding laws can submit an application within their respective factions. After passing the verification test, they will be granted the qualification to comprehend them.

Friendly reminder: Studying Sword Family can greatly enhance one's understanding of secret arts and the compatibility with the Laws of Origin of the universe, but those who learn from me will live, those who merely imitate me will die. Do not be greedy or reckless!

Upon seeing the announcement, the grandmasters who were watching were initially disappointed. They had thought it was the birth of Supreme Treasure, but it turned out to be just a Sword Tomb for comprehending secret techniques.

But the next moment, everyone's faces showed surprise: Venerable Anle? They did know King Anle, and had even filed a complaint against him over some minor disagreements, but who was this Venerable Anle?

A terrible thought arose in everyone's minds.

Could it be...?

Some quick-witted and powerful individuals immediately withdrew their complaints.

It's important to understand that the names of powerful beings in the universe are not chosen arbitrarily. Since there is Nine Swords Venerable, there can't be Nine Sword King; there can only be Seven Sword King. This King Anle has most likely advanced to the Venerable level! More importantly, King Zhen Yan and King Anle have created the legend of helping their disciples break through to the Venerable level upon taking them in.

Thinking of this, the powerful figures exchanged glances, stopped paying attention to the strange phenomenon at the Sword Tomb, and hurriedly returned to Chaos City. Bolan, Aichen, and others who were in the same period as Luo Feng had not yet become disciples, so this was an excellent opportunity!

After the crowd dispersed, Tang An and the others stared at Tang Ping with undisguised questions in their eyes.

Tang Ping felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and touched his nose. "Although I'm very handsome, I feel embarrassed when you guys stare at me like that!"

"Dad! You'd better give us an explanation!" Tang Guo gritted her teeth. "Didn't you say this was my Old Tang Family's secret territory?"

She now realized that she had been tricked by her unreliable father again, but she didn't yet know how deep the trap was.

Tang Ping nodded, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "Yes!"

Tang An, Tang Guo, Tang Yiyi:???
