After spending a few days with his family and settling everything on Earth, Zhang Junbao bid farewell to his family and headed to Bailan Star with Luo Feng.
Thunder God also left Earth and headed to the Ganwu Secret Realm.
Although he failed to enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company, he still remembered what Zhang Junbao had said: once he controlled the geniuses in the Ganwu Secret Realm, he might be able to enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company through other means.
They had all seen it clearly: the universe was a thousand times more dangerous than Earth, and the competition was incredibly fierce. There were millions of races of humanity, but many of them were entirely enslaved. After they noticed the anomalies on Earth, they were constantly worried that once Earth's extraordinary nature was discovered by others, under the coercion of powerful cosmic forces, even with their current background, even with the help of the Ganwu Universe Country, and even with Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng's current status in the Virtual Universe Company, they probably still wouldn't be able to protect Earth.
They could only venture into the universe in search of even greater power.
In a special room within the Virtual Universe Network, Zhang Junbao, Luo Feng, Thunder God, and Hong gathered together.
" Luo Feng and I will soon be leaving the Ganwu Universe Country for the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters. The task of protecting Earth during this time is entrusted to you," Zhang Junbao said.
"Don't worry, I'm now a member of the Ganwu Secret Realm. Within the Ganwu Universe Country, I can utilize some resources. Although I can't compare to the Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company, it's still a sacred place of the Ganwu Universe Country, and its influence is considerable. I will strive to take over the Ganwu Secret Realm," Thunder God nodded and said.
"Over the past few years, my teacher and I have visited many Immortal Expert, including some who have even reached the King Level. Because of my teacher's influence, and the influence of you two, Junbao and Luo Feng, they all trust me a lot. I will also try my best to win over some powerful individuals," Hong said.
"This time, Luo Feng and I achieved a good ranking and secured a lot of resources. However, this also exposed Earth to the eyes of other forces. There will definitely be many forces trying to go to Earth to investigate. We absolutely cannot let them find us!"
"Now the Milky Way Galaxy and several surrounding star systems are under our control. The Ganwu Universe Country will also send a guard force led by a Domain Lord to protect the Milky Way Galaxy," Thunder God said.
As great contributors to the Ganwu Universe Country, Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng's hometown was highly valued by the Ganwu Country Lord. Zhang Junbao also expressed his hope that the Thirteen Lords would help him oversee the Milky Way Galaxy through the Lord Thirteen.
The Ganwu Country Lord fully supported this approach. As long as there was an emotional bond between them, the Ganwu Country Lord was not afraid that Zhang Junbao would forget about them after leaving.
After all, it's not uncommon for some geniuses, upon witnessing the vastness of the universe, to turn their backs on their own Universe Country if they don't have a good impression of it.
"Great, that means we don't have to worry while we're away from Earth."
"There's something else I need to tell you all today. It involves a shocking secret that, if leaked, could potentially lead to the complete annihilation of the Ganwu Universe Country!" Zhang Junbao said solemnly.
"A shocking secret?" Thunder God's eyes widened as he stared at Zhang Junbao in astonishment.
What kind of secret could cause an ancient universe to cease to exist? After this Genius Battle, they now know that every Universe Country has been passed down from a distant era. As the main force of the human Human Race, the terrifying power of a Universe Country is far beyond their current comprehension.
But Zhang Junbao said very seriously that this secret could lead to the Destruction the Universe Country.
Luo Feng and Hong were shocked.
" Junbao, this is Virtual Universe. Won't we be spied on?" Luo Feng frowned and asked cautiously.
Although they were in a top-secret space within the Virtual Universe, which they had paid a huge sum of money to obtain, don't forget that the Virtual Universe Network belongs to the Virtual Universe Company. No amount of airtight security can fool them.
Even though Virtual Universe Company emphasizes that they don't snoop on their clients' secrets, even if they did, no one would be able to find out.
"Don't worry, I can guarantee that. We won't be spied on, because this secret room is related to the secret I'm about to tell you."
Whether it was Luo Feng, Thunder God, or Hong, they were all extremely serious at this moment. Zhang Junbao had chosen to share such a terrifying secret with them, and the risks involved were unimaginable. This trust made the three of Luo Feng firmly remember that they must never reveal even a trace of the information.
With a casual wave of his hand, Zhang Junbao conjured fifty-two bronze gates in the space before them. Each of these Bronze Giant Gate was approximately 160 meters long and 120 meters high, and each gate bore ancient inscriptions.
" Mother Ancestor ", " Giant Axe ", " Long Xing ", " Nine Universes "...
"What... what is this?" Luo Feng stared intently at the fifty-two large doors in front of him. The moment these doors appeared, he felt the Golden Horned Beast within him being suppressed by this ancient aura.
"This is the secret I wanted to tell you."
"I sensed the aura of Law emanating from these gates, and each one is different!" Ever since the bronze gates appeared, Hong's eyes had never left them.
" The Eight Great Fundamental Laws, even the Space Law, are so clearly defined—how is this possible? This is Virtual Universe Network!" Thunder God was completely bewildered.
"The power of the Virtual Universe Network far exceeds your imagination; it was created by a great and powerful being. Within the Virtual Universe, it is possible to simulate the fluctuations of Law."
"Each of these 52 bronze gates has a projection of a Chaos Stele behind it," Zhang Junbao said.
What is the Chaos Stele?
"For billions of years, the strongest humans have organized the Law they have realized into systematic cultivation methods and recorded them. Each Chaos Stele records a large number of mysterious patterns. These fifty-two Chaos Stele represent fifty-two cultivation paths that lead directly to the most supreme path!"
"If one comprehends even one of the Chaos Stele, one can directly become a true super being in the universe, and even establishing a Universe Country would be a piece of cake." Zhang Junbao's expression was more serious than ever before.
He had considered this matter for a long time, and finally decided to share this huge secret with Luo Feng and the other two.
Before the Genius Battle even began, he received a mission: to win first Genius Battle. However, Zhang Junbao never expected that the ultimate reward for this mission would be to unlock virtual projections of 52 Chaos Stele for him.
While this virtual projection cannot compare to the real Chaos Stele, it is still an immense treasure.
Once leaked, the entire Ganwu Universe Country Destruction in an instant.
The Chaos Stele, as one of the most important treasures of Chaos City, the holy land of humanity, are the crystallization of the wisdom of the strongest beings in the Human Race. Each Chaos Stele represents a supreme path. Only a more powerful secret technique like the Virtual Universe Network can simulate them.
"Does... do such a treasure really exist?" Luo Feng couldn't believe it.
Hong and Thunder God's eyes widened in excitement; this secret was a huge shock to them.
"That's right, they really exist. Luo Feng, you probably don't know yet, Virtual Universe Company Headquarters we're about to visit is called Chaos City. And the original bodies of these 52 Chaos Stele are stored in Chaos City. They are also one of the most precious treasures in Chaos City."
The Chaos Stele in this room is their projection. Although it's a projection, it's enough for us to comprehend.
Luo Feng looked up at Zhang Junbao and finally understood why Zhang Junbao was so serious today.
" Junbao, why tell us such a secret? This is your destiny!" Hong was deeply conflicted. How many people would share such a precious treasure with their companions?
Aren't you afraid that your companions might become disillusioned and kill you for the treasure? You know, there are countless examples throughout the universe of brothers turning against each other and killing one another for the sake of treasure.
"Hahaha, we came from Earth together. Don't I know your character and nature? Murder and robbery, would you do that to me?" Zhang Junbao laughed as he looked at the three of them.
If Zhang Junbao didn't have absolute understanding and trust in them, why would he have taken such a huge risk to reveal this matter to them?
"Hahaha, we underestimated Senior Brother's courage. Thunder God, Luo Feng, if you obtained such a treasure, would you share it with others?" Hong said, seemingly unconcerned.
"I don't know about others, but if it's you guys, I think it's possible!" Luo Feng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner excitement, and said heavily.
Thunder God nodded, his eyes revealing undisguised determination.
"That's it. Don't forget, we all come from Earth, and protecting our home and loved ones is our common goal."
However, Junbao has now surpassed us by a great deal. If we don't catch up, we might not be able to help when the Earth faces disaster in the future.
" Junbao, we can't thank you enough. We'll remember this kindness!" Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God exchanged a glance and nodded emphatically.
"Hahaha, you really didn't disappoint me. If a treasure can't be fully utilized, what's the difference between it and trash thrown in the warehouse?"
This secret is only for you two; you absolutely must not let a fifth person know about this place.
" The Chaos Stele is a top-tier treasure even in Chaos City. It would be extremely difficult for the Virtual Universe to simulate it."
Therefore, it can only be opened once a year, and each time one can meditate for 7 days. Don't think it's too few; even in Chaos City, such opportunities are definitely plentiful. The Chaos Stele is extremely profound, and it is already quite difficult to digest and transform 7 days of comprehension into one's own strength within a year.
If you can't transform your insights into your own strength, then no matter how much time you spend studying, it's all a waste.
"We understand this principle, but there are so many Chaos Stele here, each representing a Great Dao. Which one should we choose?" Luo Feng asked.
"Above each Chaos Stele's gate is a rubbing of a picture. You can look at these pictures first. Although the pictures cannot convey the aura contained within the Chaos Stele, they can still allow you to barely sense it. Look at these 52 pictures... and then decide which Chaos Stele to choose," Zhang Junbao explained.
As Luo Feng and his two companions looked around, they saw that each painting was ten meters long and ten meters wide, with the corresponding name next to it.
"You have one hour. Tell me your decision. Remember, choose the path that best suits you and walk it firmly."
Luo Feng and his two companions quickly arrived at each gate and began to observe.
The first picture depicts an ancient, towering tree that resembles a coiled dragon, its leaves already withered and yellow, countless leaves falling off. With Luo Feng's mental calculation ability, he could instantly determine that there were definitely more than ten thousand withered yellow leaves floating in mid-air in this picture.
In the picture, one withered yellow leaf after another seems as if it might fall at any moment.
Some leaves were still attached to the branches, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves.
Gradually, Luo Feng felt that the withered yellow leaves falling from the sky were like soldiers forming military formations. The formations were incredibly complex. A hundred leaves formed a complicated small formation, and adding just one leaf would make the formation change even more wonderfully with 101 leaves.
Any combination of any number of leaves will evolve into entirely new and mysterious changes, which are extremely complex.
"Time's up." Luo Feng set a time scale for himself in his mind: one hour, with each Chaos Stele lasting 69 seconds. With Luo Feng's current mental processing speed, he could easily rival a small intelligent assistant, calculating the time for himself effortlessly.
He left, regained his senses, and glanced at the name on the picture—" The Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele ".
"What is the connection between the Mother Ancestor and the Mother Ancestor Star?"
Without giving it much thought, I simply memorized the scene I had just witnessed and carefully recalled it later.
This ' Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele ' clearly follows the path of fusing wood and Space Law, and is not suitable for the three of them.
One picture after another, the three of them were extremely focused.
"Hmm?" Luo Feng's heart was filled with excitement when he saw the huge picture in front of him.
The painting contains numerous knife marks, each unique, totaling 10,081 marks, creating a profound and mysterious scene. Its title is " The Heart Trace Chaos Stele ".
Hong and Thunder God were the same; they watched with utmost care. Only by finding a path that suits them can they cultivate most efficiently.
Time is a treasure, a universal consensus. Moreover, even if Zhang Junbao didn't say it, they all knew that this place contained such a huge secret, and each opening would inevitably incur enormous costs. Not a single minute or second could be wasted.
Especially for Hong and Thunder God Shen, who were unable to go to Chaos City, this opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele was one they naturally cherished.
Zhang Junbao did not go to watch; he had already made his choice.
"Alright, time's up. Which Chaos Stele do you choose?" Zhang Junbao reminded them.
