Heavenly Feather King

Deep within a vast palace in an independent virtual universe plane, a figure dressed in pure white feathered robes looked down at the imposing man below and spoke in a clear, low voice. "What is it?"

"White Phoenix Palace Master, a new World Lord has arrived in the Heavenly Region. He needs a Peak King Level Immortal who specializes in the Law of Time as a mentor, preferably a master from the Jinghong Chaos Stele lineage. I've come to ask for your guidance!"

"A new World Lord in the Heavenly Region?" The figure in pure white feathered robes fixed her gaze on the imposing man below. "Muxuan?"

"...Yes."

"He's only applying for a mentor now?" The figure in pure white feathered robes looked away from the imposing man and gazed into the endless void in the distance.

"...Yes."

"I understand." The being deep within the palace spoke, and in the next instant, space shifted. The imposing man was gone.

"He cultivates the Time lineage. Xiao Yu's strength is also at Peak King Level. Though he didn't study the Jinghong Chaos Stele, he's more than capable of guiding this little fellow." As she considered this, the figure in pure white feathered robes turned her gaze elsewhere, as though looking through the void at the man diligently cultivating.

She was White Phoenix Palace Master, one of the Human Race's most ancient Universe Overlords. She had existed even longer than some of the Universe Country Lords of today! By a twist of fate, she had once seized the body of the Special Lifeform White Phoenix during her World Lord stage. Not only was her Life Gene Level extremely high, reaching three thousand times, but she had also nurtured two clones. Together with her original body, she possessed three divine bodies, giving her a very high standing among the Human Race. In terms of strength alone, she was also one of the Human Race's Top Universe Overlords.

That Universe Overlord who had visited earlier had only just crossed the threshold into that rank. He was still somewhat weaker than her. Simply put, Overlords of his caliber had to be extremely cautious when visiting Primal Stars. They didn't need to travel in groups like High Venerables, but they certainly couldn't act recklessly.

As for her, she could visit a Primal Star alone and roam freely across it. Even if she encountered the very strongest Universe Overlords, or even Universe Masters, she could still retreat in time if she couldn't defeat them.

In a gray building in Chaos City, Ye Muxuan stood respectfully. Before him stood a powerhouse whose very aura could suppress him.

He had golden hair and a pair of sapphire-blue eyes. Most unusual of all was the golden-pupiled vertical eye between his brows. Simply standing there, he was like the sun to an ordinary person, radiating boundless warmth.

This was the mentor dispatched by the Virtual Universe Company: a Peak King Level powerhouse of the Winged Human Race who specialized in the Universe Chaos Stele. His title was Heavenly Feather!

Ye Muxuan hadn't known who his mentor would be, but once he heard the title and the cultivation path, he knew: Heavenly Feather King!

At this point, however, Heavenly Feather King was only at Peak King Level, far from the Invincible King Rank he would reach in the future.

"Go to the Virtual Universe. Let me see what level your Law Comprehension has reached!" Heavenly Feather King spoke in a domineering, booming voice that left no room for refusal.

In the Virtual Universe, in the Heavenly Region, inside villa number 009726, two figures appeared out of nowhere. The villa's training grounds were immediately simulated as a starry sky.

"I watched the video of your Heavenly Bridge challenge, and I've also seen some of your battles on the Outer Battlefield." Heavenly Feather King hovered in midair, looking at the young man before him. "You came from a Universe Secret Region and still managed to create a Marquis Level Combat Secret Technique. On your first attempt at the Heavenly Bridge, you reached the Thirteenth Floor. You're very good!"

"Thank you, Teacher."

"I became immortal by breaking through with the Origin Law of Light, so I won't comment on your comprehension of the Origin Law of Wind. But your comprehension of the Time Origin Law is still a long way off!" Heavenly Feather King stood with his hands behind his back, facing Ye Muxuan. "I don't know how to teach disciples. I've never taken one before. All I can do is have you fight me. Use everything you've got and battle me. You'll learn where your Law Comprehension falls short through combat!"

"Understood, Teacher!" Ye Muxuan's eyes immediately lit up.

This was the renowned Heavenly Feather King! If Ye Muxuan encountered a powerhouse like him on the Outer Battlefield, he would absolutely consider running as far away as possible. Failing to run fast enough would show disrespect to a King-level powerhouse, and would be irresponsible toward himself. The chance to fight such a powerhouse was an extraordinarily precious experience.

With a turn of his wrist, the slender Wind Shadow Blade appeared in his hand. Naturally, it was a simulation of the War Blade he used in reality, a weapon powerful enough for World Lords to fight one another with!

"Please guide me, Teacher!" He raised his wrist, turned it slightly, and struck with a slash!

Two-Part Blade Technique, Wind Severing!

One slash, two halves!

"Interesting..." A faint, almost imperceptible smile flickered in Heavenly Feather King's sapphire-blue eyes.

As a Peak King Level Immortal, his Law Comprehension was naturally exceptional. In terms of the Heavenly Bridge, he had already cleared the Twentieth Layer! He had reached the Twentieth Layer with the Universe Chaos Stele, which required cultivating both time and space. That alone showed just how far his comprehension of the Time Origin Law had advanced! Among the King-level Immortals of the Human Race today, only a handful could compare to him. Aside from a few old veterans who had cultivated for countless eras and reached the Invincible King Rank, there were very few others. In fact, among his contemporaries, the people who had kept pace with his cultivation could be counted on one hand.

On the rooftop of the gray building in Chaos City, Ye Muxuan sat cross-legged. Having just studied the Chaos Stele, he gazed up at the Law Secret Patterns overhead, utterly absorbed in his contemplation.

In an independent virtual universe plane, White Phoenix Palace Master, dressed in pure white feathered robes, leaned against the railing and looked at Heavenly Feather King beside her. "After these past few years, what do you think of that little fellow?"

"He has excellent talent and comprehension. His foundation in Law Comprehension is just a little weak and scattered, but these three thousand years in Chaos City should help him settle down. Based on my assessment, within three thousand years, he should catch up to the cultivation progress of the World Lords in the Primordial Secret Realm and have no problem clearing the Fifteenth Floor of the Heavenly Bridge. As for whether he can enter the Primal Secret Realm after the World Lord-level Qualification Battle ten thousand years from now, I think it'll be difficult." Heavenly Feather King paused. "You're asking because I'm about to get a junior brother?"

The World Lords in the Primordial Secret Realm had mostly reached the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Floor of the Heavenly Bridge. Of course, some had plateaued at the Thirteenth Floor, unable to keep up, while several had already cleared the Sixteenth Layer. Among the hundred World Lords in the Primal Secret Realm—there were only eighty-three left now—even the weakest had reached the Fifteenth Floor!
