Follow the Rules
Seeing the adoring looks in Xiao Jiu and Beibei's eyes, Xu Qing's vanity was greatly satisfied.
"Dad, I want to discuss something with you. I want to create a secret technique like this someday, called the Eight Divine Aspects of the Blade Path. Can I borrow your name from you?" Beibei asked with a smile.
"How can you be so lazy, just copying it directly?" Xu Qing glanced at her sideways.
"Dad, you can't say that. We are from the same lineage. You are the founder, and I am the Second Generation. The core of this secret technique lies in the Ba Shen Forms. Don't you think so?" Beibei said with a grin.
It must be said that Beibei's words made sense, and Xu Qing agreed with them.
The essence of the Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path lies in the three characters "Ba Shen Forms," which represent the Path of Law Fusion.
However, Xu Qing himself practices archery, so he is known as the Arrow Path, while Beibei practices the Sword Mastery, so she will be known as the Sword Mastery.
Strictly speaking, the Ba Shen Forms is a complete lineage, created by Xu Qing and perfected by him.
The demonstration just now covered the entire process; although brief, it was incredibly profound.
"Whatever you want," Xu Qing thought, considering that his youngest daughter was, after all, his heir, so he let her have her way.
"Thank you, Dad. I will definitely carry on the legacy of Ba Shen," Beibei promised.
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction and patted her shoulder. "Yes, Dad is waiting for you to catch up with me."
After all, of his five eldest sons, only Beibei inherited his abilities and Mind's Eye.
"Alright, let's go home, then head to Mengluo Planet to pick up Ace and Aven, and we'll go to the Initial Universe together."
Back on Earth, Xiao Jiu was already the Universe Master. Xu Qing told him to wait on Earth for the time being, as the Primitive Star would open in two years.
"I'm taking Beibei to Mengluo Planet," Xu Qing said to his three beloved wives before leaving with Beibei.
Mengluo Planet.
"Grandpa and Grandma, Dad and I have come to see you," Beibei called out.
Ai Chen's parents came out and were delighted to see their son-in-law and granddaughter. "Come in quickly!"
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, where are Ace and Aven? Are they still training with the clan leader?" Xu Qing asked.
"Okay, I'll call them over right away," Ai Chen's parents immediately contacted Ace and Aven to tell them that Xu Qing and Beibei had arrived.
A short while later, Ace and Aven arrived.
"Dad," Ace and Aven were overjoyed to see Xu Qing. The news that Xu Qing was now the overlord of the Human Race Universe Overlord had spread throughout the entire universe.
As Xu Qing's sons, they naturally felt incredibly proud.
"Ace, Aven, how have you been lately?" Xu Qing looked at his two grown sons, who looked more and more like Ai Chen as they grew older, completely opposite to Beibei.
"Our teacher is very kind to us," Ace and Aven said.
Having a Universe Venerable as their teacher, and one who will dedicate himself to nurturing them, is a privilege not everyone can enjoy.
"Ace, Aven, I'm here too. Why did you only greet Dad?" Beibei glared at them.
Although she was the youngest, she didn't treat Ace and Aven as her older brothers. After all, she was the biggest and strongest when she was born, and she still is now.
"Beibei was there too, I didn't notice," Ace and Aven chuckled.
When they were little, they were always beaten by Beibei and never won a single time. As the older brothers, they were naturally unhappy about it.
However, as they grow older, they and Beibei no longer have conflicts over these things, but their competitive spirit remains very strong.
"You're still too green to play Mind's Eye with me. How about it, do you want to see the difference between you and me?" Beibei raised an eyebrow.
Upon hearing this, Ace and Aven's gazes sharpened. "Alright, we also want to see just how much you've improved."
Xu Qing and the others just watched from the sidelines without saying a word. It was better to let the siblings bond on their own.
Brush!
Three figures ascended into the air, their auras as powerful as World Lord level spreading out. All three revealed their weapons.
"One at a time, or all at once?" Beibei asked, looking at Ace and Aven.
Ace and Aven exchanged a glance. "Since you're so confident, then we won't hold back."
As the older brothers, they were well aware of Beibei's abilities. Among the three siblings, Beibei was the most like Xu Qing, including in terms of talent, so they would not underestimate Beibei.
"Hmm, it seems you do know what bloodline suppression is," Beibei chuckled.
Ace and Aven's lips twitched. What bloodline suppression? It's just because the other was very fierce when he was young, and they couldn't afford to offend him.
"They're here!"
With a thud, the three figures collided, Mars flew, and the aura of Origin Law surged forth like a tidal wave.
A silent barrier enveloped the battlefield in mid-air, preventing the leakage of energy.
"Wow, Young Master Ace and Young Master Aven are so handsome, and Miss Beibei is amazing too!" Many people were watching in the courtyard.
Xu Qing and Ai Chen's parents sat there, calmly drinking tea.
In the highest palace on Mengluo Planet, the chieftain of the Mengluo Wing Race was also watching the battle.
"Ace and Aven, having inherited the bloodlines of the Azure Dragon Venerable and the Mengluo Wing Race, were already incredibly powerful, comparable to Starry Sky Behemoth. Their speed in comprehending the Origin Law was astonishing; in less than two thousand years, they had condensed the imprints of two Higher Origin Law."
"I have never seen such talent in any other Human Race. Is it because the Earth Human Lineage are special, or is the Azure Dragon Venerable just too powerful?"
"No matter what, it's a foregone conclusion that two powerful Universe Master will emerge from my Mengluo Wing Race in the future," the Mengluo Wing Race chief thought with delight.
Fortunately, Xu Qing was willing to let his son become the heir of the Mengluo Wing Race; otherwise, the Mengluo Wing Race wouldn't have been able to benefit from this.
Most importantly, it brought a powerful bloodline to the Mengluo Wing Race, which will be passed down in the future, making the Mengluo Wing Race increasingly powerful.
Moreover, the relationship between the Mengluo Wing Race and the Earth Lineage will become extraordinary.
The siblings' sparring session didn't last long, ending after only twenty minutes.
"Want to beat me? That's impossible. You'd better give up," Beibei said smugly.
Ace and Aven were exasperated; their younger sister was ridiculously strong. "How did you comprehend the Origin Law?"
"How else can you comprehend it? Just sit and try to understand it," Beibei said, shrugging.
Upon hearing this, Ace and Aven rolled their eyes, realizing they shouldn't have asked her.
"Dad, you didn't give Beibei any special treatment, did you?" Ace and Aven asked suspiciously.
"Dad, am I that kind of person? Don't you know that I'm the Master of Balancing Water of fairness in the family? My ability to balance things out has been unanimously recognized by those three adults. What you're saying is an insult to me, don't you understand?" Xu Qing said sternly.
"Uh... okay, Dad, we were wrong, we shouldn't have doubted you," Ace and Aven obediently admitted their mistake.
But in their hearts, they wanted to laugh. The Master of Balancing Water...
"Alright, the reason I came here with Beibei is to take you two to the Initial Universe. Go and discuss it with your teacher," Xu Qing said, getting down to business.
"The Initial Universe," Ace and Aven clearly knew this place; it was Sacred Land for Human Race.
However, there are conditions and restrictions to entering that place.
Generally speaking, one can only go to the Initial Universe to cultivate if the conditions are met; otherwise, even Immortal would find it difficult to have the opportunity to enter there.
"Dad, I'm now a high-ranking executive at the Virtual Universe Company and a permanent resident of Chaos City. Although I can't just move the whole family to Chaos City whenever I want, I can exchange cultivation resources for it."
"Those Chaos Stele, you'll have to join the Virtual Universe Company first, and then try to cross the Heavenly Bridge to have a chance to comprehend them. But, you've already comprehended the Origin Law of Space, so the Chaos Stele are unnecessary. They're easy to develop path dependence and limit yourself."
"There are some good things inside the spatial rift there, which are more suitable for you than the Chaos Stele. If you can comprehend anything from it, it will be worth it," Xu Qing said slowly.
"Okay, Dad, let's go tell the teacher first," Ace and Aven naturally agreed.
Then they went to greet the clan chief.
"Dad, the teacher said we should make the most of this opportunity to enter the Initial Universe," Ace and Aven returned quickly.
"Let's go then," Xu Qing said, and with that, he left Mengluo Planet with his three grown sons, heading to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.
Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.
When Xu Qing returned, he was now a high-ranking executive in the company, a big shot.
"Azure Dragon Venerable, how may I help you?" the company staff asked respectfully.
"Well, these are my three children. I'm going to take them to the Initial Universe to cultivate for a while. However, they're not considered members of the company, so according to the rules, I'll use three precious treasures in exchange for them to cultivate in the Initial Universe for one era. You can handle the arrangements," Xu Qing said.
The staff member was stunned by Xu Qing's words. Was it even necessary for this person to follow the rules?
The Universe Overlord, apart from the company's head, the Chaos City Lord, is already the highest-ranking being. The so-called rules are all set up for those below the Universe Venerable.
If one is Universe Venerable, as long as they join the Virtual Universe Company, they can freely travel to the Initial Universe to cultivate.
Even setting aside Universe Venerable, those who are granted the King Level Immortal can become permanent residents of Chaos City.
Although Xu Qing's three children are not yet members of the Virtual Universe Company, given Xu Qing's status, the company will assume they are members.
Therefore, Xu Qing didn't need to worry about any rules; he could just take them directly to the Initial Universe.
"Is there a problem?" Xu Qing asked when he saw the other person looking blank.
"No... no problem, Azure Dragon Venerable. With your status, you don't need to care about these rules at all. Just take them directly to the Initial Universe. Moreover, exchanging a precious treasure for a cultivation time of one epoch is too... extravagant. You could exchange it for ten epochs' worth of time," the staff member replied.
Xu Qing waved his hand, "Follow the rules. Without rules, there can be no order. Some advantages can be taken, but others cannot. We'll exchange three precious treasures for one era of cultivation time for the three of them. Do as I say."
"Okay," the staff member said, seeing that Xu Qing wasn't joking, and proceeded with the processing.
During the processing, the staff still asked one more question, "Azure Dragon Venerable, are you sure you don't want to exchange more time? Exchanging three precious treasures for one era's worth of time is way too much of an overpayment."
Even if they aren't Top-Tier Heavy Treasure, exchanging three precious items for the three little ones' cultivation time in the Initial Universe is still somewhat wasteful.
Xu Qing thought about it for a moment. Even the staff felt he was losing out, so it seemed he really was. After considering it, he said, "Then I'll exchange it for ten epochs of cultivation time."
"Okay," the staff member breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid of making a Universe Overlord suffer a great loss.
"Azure Dragon Venerable, everything is settled. The Spaceship is ready. The three Your Highness have ten epochs of cultivation time in the Initial Universe, which they can use freely," the staff quickly arranged.
"Yes, these are three precious treasures," Xu Qing said, handing the three treasures to the other party.
Seeing the three powerful treasures Xu Qing tossed over, the staff scrambled to catch them. "Three powerful treasures right off the bat—no wonder he's the company's youngest Universe Overlord."
In fact, Xu Qing had seized a lot of spoils of war, including many valuable treasures, when he was on the Outer-Region Battlefield.
Although they were all ordinary treasures, and there were only a few top-tier treasures, they were all junk gathering dust in Xu Qing's warehouse at the moment.
Not to mention that the Primitive Star is about to open, and who knows how many precious treasures and Supreme Treasure will be eyeing him then.
Xu Qing didn't care at all when he threw away the three treasures, just like a billionaire throwing away a few million dollars, not even a hair was lost.
"Let's go, to the Initial Universe," Xu Qing waved his hand and left with his three grown sons.
Watching the four figures disappear into the distance, a staff member sighed, "I never expected this Azure Dragon Venerable to be so principled. If others could be like him... it's obviously impossible."
"Even a Venerable would be reluctant to exchange three precious treasures for ten epochs of cultivation time in the Initial Universe, and no Venerable has ever done so."
Although this Azure Dragon Venerable was infamous, he felt that this Azure Dragon Venerable was very different from all the other Universe Venerable he had ever met.
At this moment, Xu Qing brought his three eldest sons into a Spaceship.
"Greetings, Venerable Excellency," a King Level Immortal bowed to Xu Qing as he was in charge of receiving him.
"Okay, let's go," Xu Qing nodded.
"Yes," the King Level Immortal immediately activated the Spaceship and headed towards the Initial Universe.
As the spaceship passed through the cosmic tunnel, Ace, Evan, and Bebe also experienced the feeling of spacetime distortion. Their reactions were similar to Xu Qing's back then; they showed no unusual behavior.
"As expected of the Azure Dragon Venerable's child, his first time traversing the Cosmic Passage showed absolutely no abnormalities," the King Level Immortal exclaimed in astonishment.
"Moreover, they have all comprehended the Higher Origin Law, and even reached the point of condensing Origin Law Mark. Such talent is simply too terrifying," he observed secretly, but the more he observed, the more alarmed he became.
Even if one were to King Level Immortal, it might not be possible to condense an imprint of the two Higher Origin Law time and space, and gain the recognition of the Origin of Laws. They had already accomplished this while still being World Lord.
This level of Origin Law is not low even within the King Level Immortal.
"Could this be yet another Peerless Genius, appearing only once every three tens of millions of epochs?" the King Level Immortal speculated.
The father is a genius even more powerful than a once-in-ten-million-epoch Peerless Genius, and the children are also once-in-ten-million-epoch Peerless Genius. This bloodline is too strong.
