After dealing with the two women, Chen Qing finally let out a breath of foul air and had time to attend to the honey.

The ordinary honey was dark black, dotted with starlight inside, as if containing a whole starry sky. The harvest was considerable.

The royal jelly was purplish-black, with an extra layer of fragrance, and the starlight within drifted continuously. But the quantity was another story—from such a massive bee city, only a small jar was found.

With the exclusive plane arranged by Chaos City Lord and the two women as test subjects, the effects were quickly determined.

The ordinary honey activated cells, aided cultivation, and increased law affinity. 100 milliliters lasted about ten days. Both women said it worked well.

In one month, with abundant cosmic energy, they reached Domain Lord level five and Domain level seven. How could it not be good?

Now, with the boost from the Source Land, the law fluctuations were far more obvious than outside. The two had finally stepped onto the path of comprehending laws.

The royal jelly was different. It doubled their gene level, and more importantly, it removed the bottleneck in their Nine Basic Forms.

This sent them into ecstasy. Who knew how much they had sacrificed for the Nine Basic Forms? Now, they finally saw hope!

"This is only royal jelly from a Sector Lord peak. If it were from an Immortal, I wonder how great the effect would be?"

Chen Qing rubbed his chin, looking at the remaining four portions, feeling a bit unsatisfied. Though the effects couldn't stack and it was useless to him, he couldn't resist something gained for free.

"You sure are lucky. With the Basic boost, they both have triple genes. That makes them little geniuses!"

In the Virtual Universe, the two sat together. Original Ancestor looked at Chen Qing, who was pouring tea, and sighed.

"Joy shared, joy doubled. With their talent improved, doesn't that make things easier for you too?"

"I'm just a living corpse. Can you stop dragging me into this?"

"Living or dead, it's good to have something to do, or you'll overthink. Come on, have some tea first!"

Original Ancestor shook his head helplessly, but a different plan formed in his mind. Since this kid was impervious to direct persuasion, sending benefits to those close to him should work.

From how he handled Earth's affairs, he had been wary of the upper echelons of the race. But nothing had happened yet, so why such resentment!

"I also need to patrol the Virtual Universe long-term, search for alien spies, and monitor the movements of alien powerhouses. I don't have that much time or energy."

Chen Qing glanced at the handsome old man but didn't respond, continuing to fiddle with the tea set. As if he didn't know about that Mechanical Race Universe Lord.

"I've thought it over. Since they haven't given up, they need a real master.

At least it won't distract you. And if they don't want to hold you back, they need meticulous guidance and strict training—especially the latter. You definitely can't do that."

Seeing Chen Qing fall silent, Original Ancestor leisurely picked up his teacup.

Even if Chen Qing didn't want his loved ones to tire themselves, the aura of a cosmic powerhouse was not something an ordinary Immortal could bear!

Given Chen Qing's performance, that time would be even shorter. So Original Ancestor wasn't afraid he wouldn't agree.

Even if Chen Qing could accept it, what about the two girls? Otherwise, why would that incident have happened?

And always dawdling over his secret techniques—if he hadn't known them, fine, but now seeing that face every day was grating.

What was rare was that this kid was deeply mysterious with the Primal Universe. What he couldn't accomplish himself, he might have to rely on him!

Mm, this tea was good!

"Hehe."

Chen Qing quickly changed his expression, rubbing his hands together. "Senior, since you say so, you must have a good choice in mind. How about..."

"You really are..."

Original Ancestor smiled and shook his head, but didn't refuse. This was only proper. "What do you know about the Mother Ancestor Planet?"

Chen Qing stared blankly at Original Ancestor. This wasn't in the original story. There was only a Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele. But she was probably the oldest existence, possibly humanity's first Universe Lord.

Otherwise, with names like "Mother" and "Ancestor," she wouldn't have avoided offending other Universe Lords. And being called by humanity's birthplace meant she was at least recognized as humanity's common ancestor.

Original Ancestor was indeed the first pinnacle powerhouse, but he was the leader of the rise, called "Ancestor" for making humanity a peak race.

"Although Mother Ancestor is no longer here, the Mother Ancestor Planet still has a hegemon guarding it, unseen for countless epochs. Her strength is unquestionable, enough to teach the two.

More importantly, coming from that era, her strictness is famous. So, want to consider it?"

Chen Qing didn't speak, but Jiang Fang and Yao Rao soon walked over and bowed together to Original Ancestor.

"Please, Senior, grant our wish!"

Original Ancestor nodded in satisfaction. It seemed Chen Qing had explained things to them in the secret realm.

But it wasn't that simple. Original Ancestor could only make the introduction—and a roundabout one at that. Whether it worked depended on that hegemon.

Thunder Mountain. Chaos City Lord looked at the email before him, his emotions a tangled mess. At first, seeing his teacher's message, he was overjoyed. Then, reading the content, his eyes nearly popped out.

The City Lord flipped through the page. It was indeed his teacher's email. How did Chen Qing manage to become neighbors with his teacher? Could it be...

"Hah... not that simple."

Chaos City Lord calmed his emotions, then looked worriedly at the content. Palace Master Biluo was from the same era as his teacher.

Taking Chen Qing as a disciple was possible, but the other two little girls—was that appropriate? It felt more reliable for him to take them as disciples!

But as a disciple, Chaos City Lord decided to trust his teacher's decision. After sending an email, he thought for a moment and then forwarded Chen Qing's information along with it!

At the hegemon level, orders no longer worked. As a high-level member of the race, their significance was no less than that of a Universe Lord!

So when it came to taking on disciples, the other party's willingness still had to be considered. After a moment, just as the Chaos City Lord thought there was no hope, Chen Qing's little number—no, his exclusive plane—saw the Original Ancancer rarely show a flicker of awkwardness.

The square table had already turned into a small round one, with the three of them seated at the three vertices of an equilateral triangle. Chen Qing glanced at the cold, beautiful woman.

Her face was delicate and soft, her figure full and rounded, her hands placed before her, exuding a gentle and graceful aura. Yet her pair of silver eyes gleamed with a chill that made Chen Qing shiver.

The three of them had been sitting for a while. Chen Qing wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start, so he simply kept his mouth shut.

The Original Ancestor also had a headache. If he wasn't here, taking on a disciple was definitely out of the question—not everyone was willing to give face to Bìluò just because of him.

If he stayed here, he felt like he hadn't died thoroughly enough, like he couldn't go back to being dead even if he wanted to!

"Where's the person?"

As the voice rang out, Chen Qing felt his five senses return to him. He happened to see the Original Ancestor reaching for a teacup, casting a disdainful glance at him.

But that actually reminded Chen Qing—the atmosphere was a bit lacking. His own wife was probably under a lot of pressure. Offering a cup of tea would be a good move. Jiang Fang and the others would surely be familiar with this, fitting the etiquette of taking a master without making him feel uncomfortable.
