" Zhang Junbao left the Virtual Universe Network directly; he really ran fast!"
"That's right, otherwise, if he were stuck here, those Universe Venerable would force him to become their disciple right now!"
Have you ever seen such a spectacle before, with hundreds of Universe Venerable eagerly waiting to take on disciples?
"Seen it? Forget seeing it, I've never even heard of it! Even back in the Kedi, not so many Universe Venerable were waiting to take him as a disciple."
"Yes, after all, even Kedi didn't manage to break through the Trial Tower. Zhang Junbao, he only just started to comprehend the Universe Chaos Stele, how could he have grasped so much? Wasn't the Universe Chaos Stele supposed to be the most difficult to comprehend? Was it all just a lie?"
The gap between people can sometimes be greater than the gap between a person and Golden Horned Beast!
The genius standing nearby couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
If Zhang Junbao had only passed through the second or third level, they would have felt they still had hope of catching up. But now, he had passed through all six levels in one go—a height that countless geniuses throughout history, even after cultivating for thousands of years, had never been able to reach!
Although he was ultimately killed by a single sword strike on the seventh floor, such an achievement was enough to deter other geniuses from even considering competition.
If the gap isn't too large, and one can only look up to the other, then as fellow geniuses, it's not so easy to admit defeat. But when the gap becomes so large that it's despairing, other geniuses suddenly feel that being a nobody might not be such a bad choice after all.
After all, no one wants to strive for something that is completely impossible, especially when the harder they try, the more hopeless they feel.
Bolan was completely stunned. He had only wanted to put pressure on himself to make a decision, but now, the terrifying gap between him and Zhang Junbao had almost destroyed his confidence.
"There's no reason for this. It's only been three years. Three years ago, although I was defeated by him, I could still sense his attacks. But why, after just three years, can't I even understand what he's trying to do anymore!"
Bolan walked forward blankly, and everyone else knew that at this point, only Bolan himself could get out of Zhang Junbao's shadow.
Rong Jun, who originally planned to enter after Zhang Junbao passed the test, gripped his War Blade tightly, his face gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Luo Feng, on the other hand, seemed to have anticipated this outcome. He simply shook his head and said, " Junbao really shocked everyone this time! But it's alright, let's just consider it a test of the mental fortitude of other geniuses."
If someone can't even withstand a single blow, how can they be considered a top-tier genius in the universe?
Luo Feng felt that the reason he could take it so calmly was not only because his mental state was stronger than that of other geniuses, but also because he had been tortured by Zhang Junbao countless times.
Since life is something we can't fight against, we can only accept it in a different way. Luo Feng knew that his Law Comprehension of metal had long been shattered by Zhang Junbao into something as soft as silk.
After being hit hard for a long time, you get used to it.
"Lord Bafen, is there no one on the Heavenly Bridge right now? I want to cross the Heavenly Bridge," Luo Feng said.
Go!
Bafen glanced at Luo Feng with surprise, only to find that there was no sign of defeat or despair in his eyes, but rather an endless fighting spirit burning within him. He nodded affirmatively.
"Lord Bafen, I want to try it too!" Rong Jun said expressionlessly.
"Good!"
Once the two of them had entered the Heavenly Bridge, Bafen couldn't help but praise them.
"This year's batch of kids are full of prodigies!"
After speaking, Bafen glanced at the Universe Venerable. None of them spoke, but the aura they exuded made the others dare not approach.
Venerable Nine Swords looked warily at the other Venerable around him; these old friends of the past had all now become competitors.
Before long, the Venerable Nine Swords discovered that some Venerable had quietly left the Virtual Universe Network. They didn't seem to have given up; rather, they seemed to have come up with some good ideas.
Seeing this, the Venerable Nine Swords, the Ganwu Country Lord, and a group of other Universe Venerable also left the Virtual Universe Network.
Just looking around now, you can see that there are many competitors. Although the Venerable Nine Swords has an advantage over others in wanting to take Zhang Junbao as his disciple, he absolutely cannot be careless.
In the past, students would beg their teachers to take them on as apprentices, but now, times have changed.
Zhang Junbao's performance was enough to make these high-ranking Universe Venerable lower their stances; they would have to offer sufficiently superior conditions to attract Zhang Junbao.
In the universe, the more powerful the teacher, the better the gifts they give when accepting disciples; this is an unspoken rule of the universe.
Moreover, if one were to accept a peerless genius like Zhang Junbao as a disciple, the gifts given would have to be unparalleled by anyone else.
To accept Zhang Junbao as a disciple, a grand banquet must be held, inviting friends from all sides to witness the ceremony. The apprenticeship ceremony is the last chance for those who want to poach him.
If this teacher were to bestow upon Zhang Junbao a treasure even better than his future teacher's, would he still have the face to continue accepting disciples?
The outside world was in an uproar, but Zhang Junbao remained in seclusion.
He gained a lot from this battle, especially from the fight against the sixth level guardian, which he won through a clever method. For Zhang Junbao, that was far from enough.
Three months later, Zhang Junbao awoke from his reverie.
"My understanding of the Universe Chaos Stele is not deep enough. Although I have studied it three times in the previous three years, this is my fourth time studying the true Universe Chaos Stele, but there are still some things I don't quite understand."
" The Universe's Origin of Laws extremely complex, and it is indeed difficult to fully comprehend them on one's own. Moreover, I also need to integrate the other eight fundamental Law into the Space-Time Law, which are not even recorded on the Chaos Stele."
The strongest beings of the Human Race left behind 52 Chaos Tablets, representing 52 paths to becoming the strongest, but none of them, like Zhang Junbao, integrated the Ten Great Laws.
Even the most difficult-to-comprehend Universe Chaos Stele is merely a fusion of the Space-Time Law. Even so, it has already deterred countless geniuses.
"I need a teacher to guide me. No matter how much I explore on my own, my knowledge and experience are limited. Learning from others can help me improve, and a broader perspective allows me to see the bigger picture."
" Feitian, I've been in seclusion for so long, have you received any important emails?"
"Master, you're finally awake! There are so many emails. So far, there are 189,234 emails and 2,353 unanswered call requests."
Because you're in seclusion, I've rejected all your call requests.
"Nearly 190,000 emails? I've only been in seclusion for three months! This number is outrageous."
"Hehe, it's not an exaggeration at all. Master, you've already passed the first six levels of the Heavenly Bridge. Just the number of Universe Venerable who sent emails announcing their desire to take you as their disciple has reached over 800, and there are several thousand Immortal as well. The number of people who want to establish a connection with you is extraordinary."
Among the more than 2,000 calls, some were from Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and Wuka, and even the arrogant Bolan had one! Others were from Universe Venerable and Immortal asking if you had finished your seclusion.
"Well, I didn't expect to have to refuse so many calls from Universe Venerable. I hope I didn't offend them."
"No way! When I told them you were in seclusion, they all understood. Now, Master, you have a lot of influence!"
Those Universe Venerable who wanted to take Zhang Junbao as their disciple naturally wanted to leave him with a good impression. It was also perfectly normal for cultivators to go into seclusion after each great battle, gaining insights along the way. They believed that Zhang Junbao wouldn't dare to deceive them.
"You can ignore the emails from the other Universe Venerable for now, but there is one special email that you must reply to, Master!"
"Oh? What kind of special email is it, more important than the Universe Venerable?"
"An email from the Chaos City Lord!"
"What? Does he want to take me as his apprentice too?"
"No, his email only told you to go to the city lord's mansion to find him after you wake up; it didn't mention taking on any disciples."
"No mention of taking on apprentices?"
This left Zhang Junbao even more baffled. Besides the matter of taking on disciples, what else could the Chaos City Lord have summoned him for? Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Junbao's mind.
Zhang Junbao was somewhat surprised by the email from the Chaos City Lord. Others might not know, but how could Zhang Junbao not know that the Chaos City Lord, as the true leader of the Virtual Universe Company, possessed unparalleled strength?
He possesses countless treasures, and even has a secret treasure in his hand that can unleash power surpassing even the Strongest Supreme Treasure in the Original Universe — the Palm Universe.
Aside from the Original Ancestor, the Chaos City Lord's strength among the Human Race in the universe is second only to the Giant Axe Universe Supreme Master.
Another thing that worries Zhang Junbao is that while the Chaos City Lord holds the highest licensing authority over the Virtual Universe Network, Zhang Junbao possesses an even more outrageous super licensing authority.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Virtual Universe Network is the core force for the Virtual Universe Company, and even the entire Human Race in the universe, to fight against Alien Race.
Zhang Junbao wasn't sure what the Chaos City Lord would choose once he learned of the super-permission authority he possessed.
From the perspective of the greater good of the Human Race in the universe, it would be perfectly justifiable for the Chaos City Lord to imprison Zhang Junbao, try to strip him of his permission, or even kill him with a single blow.
It's like a three-year-old child carrying the key to a treasure trove that's crucial to the lives of his entire race, wandering around aimlessly while countless Alien Race lurk outside, ready to seize any opportunity to annihilate Human Race.
Without sufficient reason, it would be perfectly reasonable for the Chaos City Lord, as the Controller of the Human Race, to reclaim his licensing rights for himself.
Zhang Junbao was inside Chaos City. If the Chaos City Lord harbored any ill will towards Zhang Junbao, he would be powerless to resist, as the difference in strength was simply too great.
The Chaos City Lord could kill Zhang Junbao a hundred times over with a single breath.
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it. I've been in seclusion for months, it's time to go out and see the world!" Zhang Junbao stood up, without any worry in his eyes.
"Master, are you really going? What if the Chaos City Lord has some ill intentions towards you?" Feitian anxiously advised.
"Fool, what can I do if he has any ill intentions? Since nothing I do can change the outcome, why not openly pay a visit to this supreme powerhouse of the Human Race in the universe?"
Even if I die, at least I can see what the top leader of the Virtual Universe Company is like before I die!
Zhang Junbao laughed.
After saying that, Zhang Junbao stepped down and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
On the way, Zhang Junbao first traveled to the exclusive space of the ' Venerable Nine Swords ' in the Virtual Universe Network to pay his respects to the Venerable Nine Swords.
Venerable Nine Swords was initially delighted, thinking Zhang Junbao had come to become his disciple. However, when he learned that the Chaos City Lord had summoned Zhang Junbao, his face was filled with helplessness.
"Regardless of whether the Chaos City Lord will accept you as his disciple, it is a great honor for you to be received by the Lord of Chaos City since you have just arrived. You must not be arrogant. Although you have good talent, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord."
But you are a genius I recruited, and it is an honor for me to be received by the city lord.
Remember, you must not show the slightest disrespect to the Chaos City Lord. The Chaos City Lord has protected the Human Race's sacred land for countless years without a master, and his contributions to our Human Race are immeasurable.
"Yes, Your Venerable!" Zhang Junbao said respectfully, then logged out of the Virtual Universe Network.
The gates of the City Lord's Mansion in Chaos City were always wide open, and people frequently came and went from the mansion.
As the most central building in Chaos City, Zhang Junbao naturally knew the way. The last time he came was to study the Chaos Stele, but this time, he was here to pay his respects to the ' Chaos City Lord '.
Zhang Junbao glanced at the three captivating characters on the city lord's mansion and strode forward.
" The City Lord's Inner Mansion!"
The city lord's mansion is divided into two levels. The Outer Mansion includes places such as the Chaos Stele and the cultivation plaza, and is always kept open. However, the Inner Mansion is extremely guarded, with a group of Immortal God responsible for guarding it.
"Clang!"
The two guards simultaneously lowered their spears, blocking Zhang Junbao's path. Their eyes radiated a powerful aura as they coldly stared at Zhang Junbao.
"I am Zhang Junbao, and I have come to pay my respects to the City Lord on his orders!"
The Immortal who can guard the gate for the Chaos City Lord are extremely proud, for this is the Chaos City Lord, the true number one ruler of the Virtual Universe!
The supreme being among the Human Race.
Even if Universe Venerable were to come, without the order of the Chaos City Lord, he would not be able to pass through this door.
"Wait a moment, I'll inform them," said one of the Immortal whose bodies were crackling with lightning.
Since Zhang Junbao dared to say he was acting on the city lord's orders, he certainly wouldn't lie. If a mere Universe Level nobody dared to lie in Chaos City, anyone could easily obliterate him.
"You're Zhang Junbao?" After a moment, the Immortal looked at Zhang Junbao in surprise.
Most people in Chaos City are ascetics, and there are usually few major events. As a result, the news that Zhang Junbao crossed six levels of the Heavenly Bridge on his first attempt, and that countless Universe Venerable were vying to take him as their disciple, had already spread throughout Chaos City.
Zhang Junbao is now considered a celebrity in Chaos City.
"Go in, Venerable Guiyi is waiting for you inside."
Zhang Junbao walked into the Inner Mansion with a smile. As soon as he reached a square paved with Chaos Stone, he saw a bald man in a fiery red battle robe smiling at him from afar.
The moment Zhang Junbao saw Venerable Guiyi, he felt a sense of calm wash over him.
"So powerful! Even stronger than the Venerable Nine Swords!"
Zhang Junbao made a quick judgment. Although he couldn't sense the difference in combat power between the Universe Venerable, he could glean some clues from the effects they had on him.
"Excellent, your heart is very calm. Few people come to pay their respects to their teacher with such a calm mind."
"You have great talent; perhaps you could be placed under a teacher's tutelage. If fate allows, you might even become fellow students."
"Thank you for your kind words, Venerable. I do not know why the City Lord summoned me. I am truly unworthy of such an honor."
"Haha, you're not arrogant at all, that's quite rare. I don't know why the teacher summoned you this time either. But since you're so talented, it probably won't be a bad thing."
Zhang Junbao smiled slightly. He had no idea what kind of storm was about to break him, so he could only respond with a smile.
"Remember, the teacher has three Clone. The one who presides over Chaos City is the one who controls slaughter, so you must be absolutely respectful and never offend him!"
"Yes!" Zhang Junbao replied respectfully.
He followed Venerable Guiyi to a secluded courtyard. Outside the courtyard was a stone tablet with three characters engraved on it.
" Chaos Ruins!"
"The teacher is inside, let's go in!" Venerable Guiyi said, leading Zhang Junbao inside.
Zhang Junbao followed him and stepped inside.
Whether we live or die depends on this moment.
