The Ganwu Kingdom Master Personally Leads

The highest floor of the temple, a special meditation chamber.

The surrounding walls were made of deep black metal, their surfaces engraved with strange and bizarre images. In the center of the chamber sat only a single, dark red, heavy desk.

After the Seventh Divine General led Zhang Dong inside, he gestured for him to sit opposite himself.

Zhang Dong obediently sat down.

Zhang Dong complied and sat, his posture respectful.

He understood clearly in his heart that the other party had brought him here not merely out of face for his teacher, the Thirteenth Divine General.

This powerful and influential Seventh Divine General had likely seen his potential and wanted to forge a favorable connection in advance.

"At the ninth level of the Universe stage, you can single-handedly kill a Domain Lord at the second level." The Seventh Divine General wore a gentle smile on his face. "This speed of progress is truly astonishing. With your current level of law comprehension, I suspect you could enter the Primordial Secret Realm."

For a Universe-level to kill a Domain Lord, the difficulty far exceeds a Star-level killing a Star-level, or a Star-level killing a Universe-level.

The further one progresses on the path of cultivation, the greater the leap in life level, and the more the strength multiplies.

In the original universe system, from the Apprentice stage to the Universe stage, the soul resides in the sea of consciousness.

But once one crosses into the Domain Lord stage, the soul merges with the life core singularity and can be hidden anywhere in the body. To completely kill a Domain Lord, one must first find and destroy their life core.

Zhang Dong's attack was an explosion after penetrating the pole point, spreading directly throughout the entire body, precisely destroying everything. Even if an ordinary Universe-level could match a Domain Lord, it would be very difficult to kill one alone.

"The Primordial Secret Realm?" Zhang Dong pondered slightly, responding cautiously: "You flatter me. I should still be a bit lacking. Perhaps I can barely touch the threshold of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm?"

Hearing this, the Seventh Divine General only smiled meaningfully and did not directly refute him.

He had a very clear understanding of the level of the geniuses from the last Genius War.

The level of this batch was inferior to that of Luo Feng's batch. The one who entered the Original Secret Realm had barely managed to pass the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

In the Primordial Secret Realm, there was only one who had reached the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge, and both had achieved this after leaving Chaos City.

Achieving it while in Chaos City and achieving it after leaving Chaos City for secluded cultivation were two different things. On average, only one out of thirty Genius Wars would produce someone who could pass the fifth level within thirty years.

Zhang Dong had not entered the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company and could not go to Chaos City to comprehend and cultivate.

Just by cultivating in the Ganwu Secret Realm, he had been able to reach such a level so quickly. The speed of his progress was definitely enough to be specially recruited into the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.

"No." Zhang Dong, upon seeing that smile from the Seventh Divine General, also realized he had misjudged.

He had been measuring things against the Genius War of Luo Feng's batch. That batch had Death God Bolan, and even more so, the monster Luo Feng.

No wonder the Seventh Divine General intended to form a good connection with him.

"The military merits you earned this time by killing Sky Light won't get you anything good in the Dragon Rock Battlefield."

The Seventh Divine General suddenly spoke: "As for the points from completing the tasks, I'll just convert them all into cash and transfer them to your account."

"Thank you, Seventh Divine General." Zhang Dong quickly stood up to express his gratitude.

Those military merits were of very low value, and the points from the Ganwu Secret Realm would probably have nothing to do with him in a few days anyway. The Seventh Divine General converting them all into cash was a windfall for Zhang Dong.

About half an hour later, the heavy metal door of the meditation chamber slid silently inward.

A thick, almost tangible aura of blood and gore surged in violently, filling the entire chamber.

This aura contained a vast amount of fierce and murderous intent. It was hard to imagine how many mountains of corpses and seas of blood one would have to experience to produce such terror.

A giant, eight meters tall, strode in.

He wore a simple gray scale armor battle robe, his form as majestic as a mountain. With his entry, the entire space of the meditation chamber seemed to freeze. The newcomer was none other than Zhang Dong's teacher, the Thirteenth Divine General under the Ganwu Kingdom Master.

"Teacher."

Zhang Dong stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Hahaha!" The Thirteenth Divine General's laughter was incredibly hearty, causing the entire meditation chamber to hum. He extended his palm, which was as large as an ordinary person's chest, and patted Zhang Dong's shoulder repeatedly: "Good lad, you've really brought honor to my face."

Teaching a monstrous disciple brought not only face but also a great deal of tangible benefits.

For those ancient Kings of the Virtual Universe Company, like Zhenyan King and others, teaching disciples was just teaching disciples; they didn't seek any return from them.

But the Ganwu Secret Realm was too poor.

The Ganwu Kingdom Master was notoriously poor. After his successive deaths, he no longer dared to take risks in the universe secret realms and could only earn some contributions by cultivating the younger generation.

If Luo Feng hadn't emerged out of nowhere to help him repay his debts, the Ganwu Kingdom Master, by repaying through this method, would probably have cleared his debts before the end of this reincarnation era.

If these dozen or so Divine Generals taught outstanding juniors who could be recruited into the Virtual Universe Company or the Giant Axe Arena through the Genius War or the Strongest Warrior War, they would also be rewarded by the Ganwu Kingdom Master.

"You've taken on a fine disciple, Thirteenth." The Seventh Divine General sighed with genuine feeling. "To be able to match a Highness of the Primordial Secret Realm is truly rare."

His face was full of envy.

How could he not be envious? For these so-called geniuses of the Ganwu Secret Realm, becoming an Undying was already very difficult, let alone joining the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius War or the Strongest Warrior War.

Once Zhang Dong entered, the stronger he became in the future, the more contributions the Ganwu Kingdom Master would obtain, and naturally, the more rewards they would receive.

Moreover, with the talent Zhang Dong had displayed so far, as long as he didn't die prematurely, the probability of him becoming a Marquis in the future was very high. Teaching a Marquis-level disciple also came with many benefits.

The Thirteenth Divine General laughed heartily a few more times and said, "I have already informed the Kingdom Master. Once he notifies those big shots of the Virtual Universe Company, you will enter the virtual universe for testing."

Zhang Dong, however, showed no sign of panic or fluster.

He had already entered the Virtual Universe to experience it—the emerald-green bubble within his sea of consciousness still existed there as well.

A mere Universe-level test was such a trivial matter that the Origin Ancestor or Chaos City Lord would certainly not come to watch.

Even if the Origin Ancestor were truly that bored, Zhang Dong was not worried. He would merely use his insights into the laws of the Original Universe, secretly amplifying them with the First-Class True Intent.

In the Virtual Universe test, whether one was a special lifeform or an ordinary person, their physical strength was exactly the same. The only thing that mattered was the amplitude of their law comprehension.

With the First-Class True Intent amplifying his power, even if his law comprehension was somewhat lacking, it would still be enough to clear more stages.

"A message from the Kingdom Master has arrived." The Thirteenth Divine General's expression suddenly turned serious. "Zhang Dong, enter the Virtual Universe immediately. His Majesty the Kingdom Master will personally take you for the test."

He had originally thought that such a minor matter would be fine for him to handle alone, but he never expected the Ganwu Kingdom Master to appear in person.

"Yes." Although Zhang Dong had never met the Ganwu Kingdom Master, he still had a favorable impression of him.

After all, the Ganwu Kingdom Master was a master of investing in the fundamental path of cultivation—he had taken Luo Feng's son as his disciple and had been diligently serving Luo Feng.
