Sun Temple.

In the reception room, Tang Ping was standing attentively by the side, serving tea and water to the Mountain Sitting Guest.

This man is a grandmaster in the world of treasure refining, renowned for his ability to bestow any treasure he desires. On his previous visits, he either accepted disciples or gifted Peak Treasure; to him, he was practically a walking god of wealth.

The Mountain Sitting Guest leaned back in the cloud-patterned jade chair, exuding no air of superiority, and leisurely picked up the tea leaves that Tang Ping had brought to appreciate them.

That's Lu'an Melon Seed Tea, one of the ten most famous teas in ancient Huaxia. Its leaves are iron-colored, with a blend of emerald green and frosty white, and the fine white down on the back of the leaves is clearly visible.

"Hiss~"

Boiling spring water is poured into the jade cup, and the curled tea buds unfurl in response, like orchids slowly blooming in a secluded valley. The clear, yellowish-green tea soup gradually spreads out, with a layer of fine white down floating on the surface of the cup. The tea buds inside are clearly visible, swaying gently in the emerald water.

The Mountain Sitting Guest, picked up the gleaming white jade cup, first admiring the emerald leaves and clear water within, and the ever-changing shapes of the leaves. Then, he brought the cup to his nose, took a deep sniff, and the refreshing aroma of tea filled his lungs.

After observing and smelling it, one slowly takes a sip and savors it.

"It is sweet and fragrant like orchids, subtle yet not pungent, bitter at first but sweet later, with a lingering aftertaste that fills the mouth, just like the long journey of life, truly wonderful." The Mountain Sitting Guest nodded, praising sincerely.

As the two sipped tea and chatted, the Mountain Sitting Guest inquired about the future plans of this closed-door disciple. Upon hearing that Tang Ping had decided to first comprehend the Tier-Five Universe Master's secret technique, thoroughly refine the Peak Treasure's secret runes, and push his Gene Multiplier to the Universe Master's limit of 10081 times before venturing into the Universe Ocean, a hint of speechlessness flashed across the Mountain Sitting Guest's eyes.

However, he didn't say much, just leisurely sipped his tea and chatted with his apprentice about all sorts of things.

The Mountain Sitting Guest has lived for countless years, witnessing the vicissitudes of the galaxy. Apart from his obsession with revenge, he has become indifferent to most things in the world.

Moreover, as long as he acts cautiously in the future, he will have plenty of years to while away the time, and when it comes to idle chatter, no one in the Primal Universe can match him.

However, Tang Ping was an impatient man, just like in his previous life. He never hesitated when fighting with women, always believing that "speed is the synonym for a real man." He acted decisively, pulling up his pants and leaving after he had his fill, never caring about other people's feelings, let alone women's opinions.

In his view, this is the domineering masculinity unique to the strong.

Unfortunately, those despicable group members jokingly called him an impotent man!

Hmph, the world is a natural law of survival of the fittest, and danger lurks everywhere. He is simply inheriting the glory of his ancestors and fulfilling his duty of continuing the family line as quickly as possible. How can you call him "impotent"?

Slander!

After a moment's thought, Tang Ping said with a righteous air, "Ahem, Master Mountain Sitting Guest, you must have come here on important business. Perhaps you've just created a supreme Supreme Treasure but no one is helping you test its performance, or perhaps you have too many Supreme Treasure and nowhere to put them? Your most loyal and dearest disciple is willing to do the work for you!"

The Mountain Sitting Guest glanced at him sideways, seemingly already used to his disciple's shamelessness. Instead of being speechless, he chuckled, "Yes, quite a few. There are several top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure, as well as Peak Domain Supreme Treasure and Peak Palace Supreme Treasure. It just depends on whether you want them and whether you dare to take them."

"Yes! Of course I want it!" Tang Ping's eyes lit up suddenly, his tone resolute.

With his current strength, although his attack power is not top-notch, his defense is already unparalleled, making him practically immortal in the Primal Universe.

What treasure in this world could he not accept?

"That's good." The Mountain Sitting Guest nodded slightly, raised his hand and took out two treasures from his robes, placing them on the jade table. "I happen to have two Supreme Treasure right now. If you can fulfill the conditions I set, Peak Palace Supreme Treasure will be no problem."

On the jade table, one piece was a blood-red round bead, shimmering with an eerie light; the other was a palm-sized blood-red palace, its carved beams and painted rafters exuding a chilling and malevolent aura.

Although the two Supreme Treasure are different in form, they exude the same aura: slaughter, bone-corroding evil, and a ferocious power that is almost insane. As soon as they appeared in the world, the warm light in the hall seemed to dim a bit.

Tang Ping's gaze fell on the two blood-red Supreme Treasure on the jade table. He was taken aback at first, but then he realized that the palm-sized Palace Supreme Treasure was none other than the Blood Cloud Hall, which was famous throughout the universe!

The Blood Cloud Hall is a truly fearsome name among the super-strong individuals of the billions of races in the universe.

Whenever this palace appears in the world, it leaves behind mountains of corpses Blood Sea, with rampant slaughter wherever it goes! Its master, the Blood Cloud Hall Lord, is known for his unpredictable and ruthless personality. Just because he doesn't like a certain powerful person, he dares to venture alone into their lair, even if it means penetrating deep into the enemy's territory, he is determined to kill his target!

But everything about this temple master remains a mystery.

Origin, identity, ethnic group, and true bottom line of strength—no one knows.

All the world knows is that the Blood Cloud Hall is a top-tier Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure, and that the Blood Cloud Hall Lord once used it to roam the universe, committing massacres and forging mortal enmities with almost 99% of the forces in the universe. Countless Universe Master want to eliminate him as soon as possible.

Although this temple master was alone, his strength was terrifying. Two Universe Master had fallen at his hands, and countless Cosmic Overlord had also perished.

Moreover, he was extremely adept at assessing situations. Once he sensed that things were going badly, he would urge the Blood Cloud Hall to flee far away. Over the long years, no one had been able to truly trap him. What was even more terrifying was that if any force dared to oppose him, he would turn into a madman and use every ruthless means to fight to the death.

Evil, madness, tyranny, and mystery—that is all that beings in the universe know about the Blood Cloud Hall Lord.

No one knows where his lair is, no one knows whether he is Special Lifeform or an ordinary race, and even his true appearance remains an eternal mystery.

Throughout his life, he wore a blood-red battle robe and a blood-red mask, never showing his true face.

In his most insane years, he incurred the wrath of the entire Primal Universe, yet this madman lived a carefree life, even managing to kill two Lord of Cosmic Judgment Universe Master to die in their battles.

This strength is already unprecedented and unparalleled.

That is why, even when he killed the Cosmic Overlord of a race, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

If they were to fight to the death, they would only suffer greater losses. Even a super power like the Ancestral God Religion had tried to intervene several times, but ultimately failed each time.

After a moment of silence, Tang Ping forced a smile, "Teacher, I never imagined that the Blood Cloud Hall Lord was actually your alter ego. I admire you greatly! But—you don't mean to make me inherit this identity, do you?"

As you know, I am of pure and kind nature and have never liked killing. This position, with its fearsome reputation, is really not suitable for me.

Why don't you send Luo Feng? Don't listen to his claims about being influenced by the Golden Horned Beast's killing intent; that kid is inherently bloodthirsty. The position of Blood Cloud Hall Lord is perfect for him."

The Mountain Sitting Guest shook his head slightly. "Let's not talk about Luo Feng for now. He's currently trapped at the Realm Lord level, and it's unknown when he'll be able to break through to Immortality. Let's talk about you. Do you know what my real goal is in taking you as my disciple?"

Tang Ping pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said smugly, "Could it be that my teacher saw my striking good looks, my extraordinary talent, and my unparalleled genius, and thus took a liking to me and wanted me to inherit your mantle?"

The Mountain Sitting Guest looked at him.

After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly, "The Universe Supreme Being."

"If you can become the Universe Supreme Being, your teacher's lifelong wish will be fulfilled. The same will be true if your second senior brother can become the strongest. However, in your teacher's judgment, the probability of him becoming the Universe Supreme Being is extremely low. He has already gone astray and there is no turning back."

Hearing this, Tang Ping confidently said, "Teacher, you can rest assured. With my unparalleled talent, as long as I don't die, I will definitely become the Universe Supreme Being!"

The usually calm and Mountain Sitting Guest's face twitched slightly. After a moment, he said, "Becoming the Universe Supreme Being is far more difficult than you can imagine."

"If one remains confined to one place, silently cultivating, one will never reach that level. Throughout history, the birth of every Universe Supreme Being has been accompanied by endless encounters and trials, and they all forged their way out of mountains of blood, fire, and corpses."

"With the ties to the Tang Family and your clan, you cannot recklessly throw yourself into the flames of bloodshed and recklessly hone your skills."

"That's why your teacher prepared the identity of Blood Cloud Hall Lord for you."

The Mountain Sitting Guest's gaze fell on Tang Ping: "No one knows the true identity of the Blood Cloud Hall Lord, and the enemies of this identity are scattered throughout the entire universe. Once you appear in the world as the Blood Cloud Hall Lord, countless enemies will swarm in, fighting to the death."

"Only through endless trials of life and death can you continuously break through and grow stronger. This is the method I know that can maximize your chances of becoming the Universe Supreme Being."

He raised his hand and pointed to the blood-red bead on the jade table. "This Blood Cloud Pearl is a special Supreme Treasure I crafted. It can completely alter your soul aura and also provide the ultimate disguise for your armor. Even the Universe Master would not be able to detect it."

The Mountain Sitting Guest leaned forward slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation, and demanded, "My disciple! When you become the Blood Cloud Hall Lord, you will embark on a brand new journey of blood and fire—do you dare to accept it?"

Tang Ping's eyes gradually brightened, a burning intensity surging within them.

Indiscriminate killing, frenzied battles, killing one person every ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles—this was the life he had longed for since his youth!

Which man doesn't yearn to experience the ultimate thrill of survival on the brink of life and death, and feel the exhilaration of a bloody battle?

The next moment, Tang Ping suddenly raised his head and said loudly, "I wouldn't dare!"
