Seven Thousand Years

Yun Miao pondered for a moment and said, "Lead them into the Green Lotus? I do have a method we can try, but it will take some time, at least until Pralis's Divine Body is fully restored! I can go back to the Human Race to buy some auxiliary materials for restoring divine power, but even with those, it will take Pralis tens of thousands of years to fully recover!"

Gulanxiu nodded and said, "There's no rush! This Secret Realm has been here for countless years without being discovered! We can afford to wait! Unless something goes wrong with Xuanjia Hou!"

Yun Miao smiled and said, "Don't worry! I've investigated that Xuanjia Hou over the years, and I know his identity among the Human Race perfectly well. Given his personality, since he's already told us the information, he won't tell anyone else."

After a pause, Yun Miao continued, "However, just in case, we can also destroy the wormhole outside. We've already been to this Secret Realm before, and even if we destroy the passage, we can still enter directly through the Divine Kingdom Teleportation. However, under the Universe Operation Rules, the Universe Secret Realm won't be completely isolated! Even if we destroy the passage, this Secret Realm will extend another passage. It's hard to say where in the Original Universe the new passage will open, or whether it will be as well-hidden!"

After thinking for a moment, Gulanxiu said, "How about this? We'll place a Fire God Source Crystal and an AI at the entrance of the spatial wormhole. Once anyone else discovers the passage, we'll destroy it and invite Venerable to descend upon this Secret Realm via the Divine Kingdom Teleportation. After all, the strongest Di Qingtian in this Secret Realm, Di Qingtian, is only King-level Invincible with Venerable combat power. Sending a Venerable will allow us to succeed in a short time!"

Yun Miao nodded and said, "This is the only way to do it for now!"

In fact, if Yun Miao or Gulanxiu had discovered this Secret Realm alone, they would have invited the Venerable long ago.

Yun Miao's senior brothers and sisters, and the Golden Dragon Venerable who had a good relationship with Gulanxiu —any one of these people could easily sweep through this Secret Realm.

However, since they discovered this Secret Realm together, it was not appropriate for them to invite the Venerable to take action.

Because this involves the distribution of spoils! Inviting Venerable is obviously not something to be done for free; some of the profits must be shared. This will affect the profits of both of them. In addition, there's the 5% promised to Xuanjia Hou, which will also have to come from the two of them.

If it were just one person, inviting Venerable, even if the Venerable received a portion of the spoils, would still be considered a favor. But now, no matter who invites the Venerable, they are essentially using another person's share to do a favor.

Therefore, to avoid any unpleasantness, the two decided to develop the Secret Realm themselves as much as possible, even if their current strength was insufficient. Once they both broke through to the Immortal, their strength would be sufficient. Inviting other powerful individuals was only a last resort when there was no other option.

Having made their decision, the two quietly left the Secret Realm, leaving behind a Fire God Source Crystal at the entrance of the wormhole before resuming their combat careers on the Star Domain Battlefield!

The two first returned to the Human Territory and each purchased some materials to restore their divine power. In the previous battle with Pralis, Gulanxiu's Heavy Metal Stym divine power had been depleted by about 10%, and he needed to replenish it quickly.

Yun Miao's Thousand-Leaf Star-Eating Grass fared even worse, losing more than 20% of its Divine Body, which severely impacted its strength. Moreover, Yun Miao also had to purchase materials to restore Pralis's divine power, making the expense even greater.

It took the two of them a full five hundred years to recover their strength to its peak and return to the Star Domain Battlefield.

Over the next seven thousand years, the two experienced hundreds of battles on the Star Domain Battlefield, with victories and defeats, but they all survived without serious injury.

The most dangerous time was more than four thousand years ago when Gulanxiu and his companion were once again blocked by the Flameburst King. This time, the Flameburst King was prepared in advance and used a treasure that could seal space to directly seal the space, rendering Yun Miao's token useless.

Then he launched a frenzied attack on the two of them! It must be said that the Flameburst King's strength is indeed formidable, no less than that of Pralis!

Even with both of them going all out, they were no match for each other. Fortunately, both of them had Treasure Armor to protect them, and they managed to hold out for a while until the Human Race experts came to their rescue. Otherwise, Gulanxiu would have had to expose the secret of the Green Lotus Heavy Treasure and run away with Yun Miao.

To Gulanxiu's surprise, the Human Race powerhouse who came to his rescue was none other than his teacher, the Barbarian Hammer King Giant Axe Founder, the Barbarian Hammer King came to the Star Domain Battlefield to fight, hoping to find an opportunity for a breakthrough. Now, Gulanxiu and his companion had also arrived at the King Zone of the Star Domain Battlefield. When they asked the powerhouse for help, the Barbarian Hammer King happened to be nearby and rushed over first.

Of course, when they met on the Star Domain Battlefield, the master and disciple tacitly pretended not to know each other, so as not to let the Beast God Race find out Gulanxiu's identity through his relationship with the Barbarian Hammer King.

The Barbarian Hammer King was already at the Peak King. After becoming a disciple of the Giant Axe Founder, he had all his resources maxed out. In terms of Law, he had already comprehended the second ultimate move of the Space Law, and was only one step away from becoming Venerable.

In terms of defense, he possesses Treasure Armor and Soul Defense Heavy Treasure; in terms of offense, he has a pair of Divine Hammer that are barely at the level of Supreme Treasure. Few people at the King- level have as luxurious equipment as him.

Even his Gene Level has been elevated to about ten times that of an ordinary life form through the Beast God Blood. In addition, he created a set of Peak Secret Art using Supreme Treasure Twin Hammers, a treasure of supreme treasures. His overall strength is close to that of King-level Invincible, even stronger than the Flameburst King.

When the Barbarian Hammer King arrived, he naturally dominated the Flameburst King. However, the Flameburst King's Divine Body was too enormous, and after fighting for a while, the Barbarian Hammer King saw that the effect was minimal. In the end, he could only helplessly leave with Gulanxiu and the other two.

After parting ways with the Barbarian Hammer King, the two fought in the Star Domain Battlefield for three thousand years before deciding to return to the Human Territory to rest and recuperate, partly to recover the divine power that the two Immortal Auxiliary Lifeform had consumed over the years.

Secondly, the Ice God General Inheritance was about to begin. After Gulanxiu achieved a success rate of over 90% in the Domain Lord stage missions, he obtained the Inheritance Slot for the Ice God General. Later, after the Giant Axe Founder issued the reward, he did not revoke Gulanxiu's inheritance qualification.

At this point, only a few years remained before the Ice God General Inheritance began, Gulanxiu naturally couldn't miss it!

Upon returning to the Human Territory, Gulanxiu naturally removed his disguise and flew alone in a spaceship towards the Inheritance Grounds.

The place where the Ice God General Inheritance legacy is located in the Demon Mountain plane of the Original Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company. Judging from its location, it is highly likely to be the one that Luo Feng went to in the original work. Of course, the guardian of Demon Mountain now is not the Sky Feather King from the original work, but another King-level Invincible among the Human Race, the Rock Giant King.

Before heading to the Inheritance Grounds, Gulanxiu and his group of Inheritors had to first gather at the Rock Giant King's residence.

Whoosh!

The hatch opened, and Gulanxiu, wearing an F9 Force Battle Suit, stepped out of the spaceship.

At that moment, an Immortal God who had been waiting outside quickly approached. "Your Gulanxiu, please come with me!"

Although they belong to different forces, members of the Axe Fighting Arena and Axe Secret Realm still receive respect from the powerful members of the Virtual Universe Company. The Realm Lord of the Core Secret Realm realm among the five major forces is comparable to King-level Expert in status, and Gulanxiu is one of the best among them. Naturally, this ordinary Immortal God would not disrespect him.

Gulanxiu slightly, and after putting away the spaceship, he quickly followed the other person into the temple.

After Gulanxiu entered a spacious hall, he soon saw more than ten Marquis-level Immortal drinking heartily. The one sitting in the main seat was none other than Rock Giant King, the King-level Invincible powerhouse from the Virtual Universe Company!

To Gulanxiu's surprise, his teacher Barbarian Hammer King, was also there, sitting right next to the Rock Giant King.

However, upon further reflection, it made sense. After Giant Axe Founder, the Barbarian Hammer King held a very high position and authority among the Human Race, so naturally he wouldn't miss out on such a good thing Divine General Inheritance.

Moreover, now that the Barbarian Hammer King has the Peak Secret Art, the tenfold Gene, and the Heavy Treasure weapon, which has even exceeded the standard and reached the level of Supreme Treasure, he is only missing the Amplification to become King-level Invincible. As long as he cultivates an Amplification Secret Method or obtains a suitable Divine General Inheritance, he will inevitably become King-level Invincible.

Under such circumstances, the Human Race would naturally grant him a spot in the Divine General Inheritance.

"Hahaha!"

Upon seeing Gulanxiu appear, the Rock Giant King, seated at the head of the table, quickly rose to welcome him, saying, "I've long heard that your new disciple, Barbarian Hammer, is an unparalleled genius of our Human Race. Seeing him today, I can see he is indeed extraordinary! Gulanxiu, please have a seat!"

"Rock Giant King!" Gulanxiu greeted him with a slight bow. The Rock Giant King was King-level Invincible expert, far stronger than Gulanxiu in his current state. Given his courteous treatment of Gulanxiu, Gulanxiu naturally reciprocated with a certain level of respect.

The other dozen or so Marquis-level Immortal also quickly stood up to greet Gulanxiu.

Most of these Marquis-level Immortal are Marquis-level Immortal the five major Human Race, with only one being Marquis-level Immortal from a powerful Alien Race race within the Hong Alliance.

Compared to the Immortal Expert of the Human Race, this Immortal from Alien Race paid a great price to receive the inheritance.

Gulanxiu greeted everyone with a smile, then sat down to the left of the Barbarian Hammer King. To Gulanxiu's left sat the Black Lift King of the Axe Fighting Arena.

Black King has been cultivating for tens of thousands of epochs. He is a genius of the same era as Gu Lanxiu's teacher, Barbarian Hammer King, but millions of years older. He was also a peerless genius back then. In the end, he broke through to the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge as the number one person at the master level of the Giant Axe Secret Realm. Immediately after breaking through, he was granted the title of King Immortal.

Having cultivated for so long, Black Lift King's strength has advanced even further, and he successfully passed through the nineteenth level of the Sky Bridge! In addition, with the help of his Venerable Master, he was able to obtain Inheritance Slot!

At this moment, Black Lift King smiled and said to Gulanxiu, "Gulanxiu! When I Realm Lord, I was considered one of the few geniuses among our Human Race, but compared to you, I am far inferior. You obtained the Divine General Inheritance Slot at the Realm Lord Level; this is the first time I have seen such a thing in over ten thousand eras!"

"Haha! Don't even mention you. I've been overseeing this Demon Mountain for hundreds of billions of epochs, and the Divine General Inheritance on this Demon Mountain has been opened dozens of times. But apart from Gulanxiu, I've only seen one other Realm Lord Level who has the qualification for inheritance. That one is now Venerable! I think you, Gulanxiu, also have the potential to become Venerable!" Rock Giant King laughed as he took over the conversation.

"You flatter me Rock Giant King! I'm still far from that level!" Gulanxiu replied humbly.

And so, the group of people attended the banquet and chatted casually. None of these King looked down on Gulanxiu because he was a Realm Lord; on the contrary, they all communicated with humility and equality.

Time continued to pass, and the many Marquis-level Immortal who had obtained the inheritance of the Ice God General Inheritance arrived one after another.

More than two years later, the hall had gathered more than twenty Marquis-level Immortal.

"Everyone!"

The Rock Giant King suddenly stood up, then raised his glass and invited, "The Ice God General Inheritance is about to begin. Everyone can go and receive the inheritance. I wish you all the best in receiving the inheritance and a great increase in strength!"

"Thank you Rock Giant King!" Gulanxiu and the others also stood up and raised their glasses to drink together.

Soon after, the Rock Giant King led Gulanxiu and his group to the Inheritance Grounds in a spaceship.

This is a vast basin shrouded in mist, inhabited by numerous Strange Beast, some of which are so powerful that they have even reached the level of Marquis-level!

"Everyone!"

After leaving the spaceship, the Rock Giant King pointed to the Floating Palace surrounded by countless Strange Beast and said, "Those Floating Palace are the Inheritance Temple of the Ice God General!"

"There are thirty-two of these Inheritance Temple in total, and each one can be used to receive the inheritance of a powerful individual. All the palaces are currently empty, and everyone can choose any one of them to receive the inheritance!" the Rock Giant King explained to the crowd.

Looking out, Gulanxiu saw that each palace covered an area of tens of kilometers and emitted a hazy Jin Guang.

Faint, invisible spiritual fluctuations emanated from those Floating Palace, bringing a sense of comfort to the soul and drawing everyone to them.

"Thank you Rock Giant King!"

After hearing the Rock Giant King's introduction, the several Marquis-level Immortal who had been itching to get started immediately flew towards the Floating Palace that radiated Jin Guang.

Upon seeing these Marquis-level Immortal, the Strange Beast surrounding the Floating Palace roared and charged towards them.

But the strongest of these Strange Beast had barely reached the Marquis-level level, so how could they possibly stop these Marquis-level Immortal!

Get out of my way!

An Marquis-level Immortal unleashed a punch that shattered dozens of Strange Beast in front of him, then flashed into one of the Floating Palace.

After this Marquis-level Immortal rushed in, the palace immediately released endless, dazzling Jin Guang.

Then, countless rays of light gathered around the palace, forming mysterious and incomparable Secret Pattern Diagram. These Secret Pattern Diagram then solidified completely, transforming into a White Light Shield that enveloped the entire temple!

Upon seeing that the temple the Marquis-level Immortal had entered was completely enveloped in White Light Shield, the surrounding Strange Beast instantly became even more frenzied.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Numerous Strange Beast roared madly as they charged toward the White Light Shield, wanting to rush in and tear apart the Marquis-level Immortal who had entered earlier.

But unfortunately----

Bang! Bang! Bang!

No matter how frantically these strange Strange Beast charged, the White Light Shield remained unmoved, completely isolating them from the temple.

Seeing the many Strange Beast isolated outside the temple by the White Light Shield, the Rock Giant King explained to the crowd, "Only intelligent life can receive the inheritance of the Ice God General. Although these monsters are the guardians of the temple, they have no intelligence, only instinct, and are therefore unqualified to enter the temple to receive the inheritance!"
