"This is impossible!!"
After reading these two emails, Kelabu was completely dumbfounded, feeling like his brain couldn't keep up.
Yi Yun actually crossed the 17th and 18th floors of the Heavenly Bridge directly?
How is this possible?!
It's only been a short time, a mere ten thousand years... just one era. Yi Yun has already broken through two more levels in a row, and more importantly, he directly broke through the 18th level, which is the level of King-level Immortal God.
King Rank...
Kelabu was completely stunned.
Although it was hard to believe, the message came from the official website of Virtual Universe Company, so there was obviously no problem with it.
Logically, since Yi Yun broke through to the Immortal God, his qualification as Core Secret Realm should have been automatically revoked, and there should have been no announcement for him passing through the Heavenly Bridge. However, Yi Yun went to the Tongtian Bridge Plane too early, and the company still needed to verify his identity. The process was not yet fully completed; they had only just blocked his name from the list. Naturally, the announcement was still made as usual.
"Wouldn't this Yi Yun has become King-level Immortal God?"
Kelabu glanced at the Intelligent Life girl beside him.
"Yes, Master. Yi Yun has broken through to the Immortal God and passed through the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge. He must have reached the King-level Immortal God level and should have already obtained permanent residency in Chaos City."
The once cheerful Xiao Wu was now somewhat saddened, seemingly unsure how to comfort her master.
This should have been an opportunity for her master, but... Xiao Wu deeply regretted it. She shouldn't have made that foolish suggestion back then; she should have persuaded her master to become the personal disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable. Now it's too late to say anything.
"Little... Xiao Wu, I don't think I've told anyone else about Myriad Laws Venerable wanting to take me as his personal disciple."
Kelabu asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Yes, Master, you didn't mention this to anyone at the time, out of consideration for the King of Myriad Laws King," Xiao Wu replied.
"Thank goodness... thankfully I didn't tell anyone, otherwise I would definitely have become a negative example."
Kelabu felt a slight sense of comfort; at least it wasn't the worst outcome.
However, thinking of Yi Yun, whose talent and strength were clearly inferior to his own, yet who had become King-level Immortal God, while he was still far from reaching the 17th level of the Heavenly Bridge and was completely unable to complete the task of Venerable Lei Ming, another wave of sorrow washed over him.
The opportunity should have been his!
" Xiao Wu... I feel like crying."
Kelabu said.
"Master, me too..."
"Waaaaaah!!"
The master and servant embraced each other and burst into tears.
The Nine Universes Tower in Chaos City, seven stories high.
The King Long Yu, who was in the middle of a conversation, suddenly showed a look of surprise.
" True Yan King, Black Mist King, I just received a message that you might find interesting."
"What news?"
"I asked curiously, "True Yan King asked.
"It's news about Yi Yun, the disciple of Myriad Laws Venerable. Yi Yun has just successfully passed the 17th and 18th levels of the Ten Thousand Universes Heavenly Bridge and has broken through to the Immortal God, becoming the youngest King Rank expert in our Virtual Universe Company."
" Yi Yun has crossed the 18-story Heavenly Bridge?"
Both the True Yan King and the Black Mist King were surprised.
Of the three, King Long Yu was the most well-informed. After all, she followed the Nine Swords Venerable and had thousands of Immortal God above the Marquis under her command, so she could receive a lot of news immediately.
"No wonder Myriad Laws Venerable said those things at Qingshan Residence yesterday; it turns out Myriad Laws Venerable already knew about his disciple's strength."
The Black Mist King glanced at the True Yan King, and the doubts in his heart were resolved.
No wonder Myriad Laws Venerable wasn't surprised when he heard that his disciple had broken through to the Immortal God yesterday; instead, he smiled.
They must have known long ago that Yi Yun already possessed the Law Comprehension of King Rank. Not to mention the geniuses World Lord masters in the Primordial Secret Realm, even in the Primal Secret Region, only a very few can become King-level Immortal God upon breaking through.
Given Yi Yun's strength, it's understandable that he would choose to break through.
"I still feel it's a bit of a pity. After all, Yi Yun is a Realm Lord. The higher the talent displayed by a Realm Lord, the higher the treatment they receive. If Yi Yun were still a Realm Lord member now, the treatment he would receive would probably far exceed that of most Primal Secret Realm Lord members," said True King Yan.
King Long Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's probably because Yi Yun thinks he's the disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable Myriad Laws Venerable, so he doesn't care about those resources. After all, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws is known for his generosity. The Myriad Laws Venerable has paid a heavy price for Yi Yun to have his current strength!"
"There should be a True Treasure Points somewhere," the Black Mist King guessed.
King Long Yu laughed, "Even if there isn't, it's almost the same. Besides the incomparably precious treasures, it must also be related to the guidance of Myriad Laws Venerable. Myriad Laws Venerable's understanding of the Time Origin Law is too exaggerated. Didn't you just say that even that old King Anju was convinced?"
King Long Yu looked at Black Mist King and continued, "From now on, you and King Anju will be the strongest under the command of Myriad Laws Venerable. Myriad Laws Venerable is so generous, you will certainly receive your share of the benefits."
The Black Mist King nodded. "Following the Myriad Laws Venerable will definitely be better than following the Universe Venerable."
" Zhen Yan, if the Black Mist King receives True Treasure reward in the future, won't you be envious?" King Long Yu teased True Yan King.
"What do I have to envy!" True Yan King shook his head.
" True Yan King, you seem to have something on your mind?"
"King Long Yu asked in surprise."
"Ah, is it that obvious?" True Yan King was somewhat surprised.
The Black Mist King smiled and said, "It's not just Sister Long Yu who noticed, I noticed it too. Usually, when you, Zhen Yan, communicate with us, you're very talkative, but today you're noticeably quieter. What else could it be if you have something on your mind? Do you also want to join the Myriad Laws Venerable, but are only limited by your teacher?"
"Ahem... Fine, I won't hide it from you anymore. You'll find out soon enough anyway." True Yan King Zhenyan was already a little embarrassed about keeping things from his best friends, and now that he'd been found out, he just went all out, saying, "Actually, I've already become a disciple of Myriad Laws Venerable Myriad Laws Venerable. So what you said earlier wasn't quite right. Black Mist and King Anju aren't the strongest under Myriad Laws Venerable; I am!"
"Ah, Zhen Yan, you're not joking, are you?" King Long Yu covered his mouth in shock.
"Yes, Zhen Yan, this news is truly astonishing. Weren't you and Myriad Laws Venerable friends before?" Even the usually composed Black Mist King was surprised at this moment.
"Indeed, Myriad Laws Venerable and I are friends, but what is more important than this?"
With a flick of his wrist, True Yan King produced a hexagonal stone tablet engraved with mysterious patterns that appeared in his hairy palm.
"This is..."
Both the Black Mist King and the King Long Yu looked on, their expressions filled with shock.
True Yan King calmly said, "Just as you all think, it's that thing. With it, I have a great chance to become Universe Venerable. Tell me, can I refuse?"
" Zhen Yan... you're incredibly lucky."
" Zhen Yan, when you become Universe Venerable in the future, don't forget me."
Seeing the envious expressions on his two friends' faces, True Yan King breathed a sigh of relief, put away the stone tablet, and said with a smile, "So, following Myriad Laws Venerable, there's absolutely no problem. Black Mist... you might even have the chance to become Universe Venerable in the future."
"Becoming Universe Venerable something I can't even dream of. I'd be content to become Invincible King like you. Zhen Yan, when are you leaving for the Ancestral God Religion?"
"About a year later."
"I am uncertain," said the True Yan King.
If his teacher hadn't told him to have Longjing Venerable come back to fetch him, True Yan King would have already left. He couldn't wait to go to the Ancestral God Religion to receive his inheritance...
The news that Yi Yun had crossed the 18-level Heavenly Bridge spread throughout the Core Layer the entire Virtual Universe Company in just a few days.
The previous doubts and ridicule have now completely fallen silent.
Today, Yi Yun is a genuine King Rank expert, wielding significant power and having Universe Venerable as his teacher. Apart from other established King Rank experts, very few people dare to offend him.
Those geniuses who had been discussing Yi Yun at the Primordial Secret Realm had all fallen silent, and they had made a pact that none of them would allow the things they had said together to be spread.
Yi Yun used his strength to thoroughly refute those who doubted him.
Many geniuses envy Yi Yun, envying that he has such a good teacher.
The Primal Secret Region, Wuchen Continent.
In a very simple cultivation chamber, Ling Yu slowly rose, receiving a great deal of information.
" Yi Yun? That disciple from the Primordial Secret Realm whom our teacher took in ten thousand years ago, who didn't participate in the life-or-death trial, has actually become King-level Immortal God and passed through the 18 levels of the Heavenly Bridge. How lucky he is!"
Ling Yu is different from Yi Yun. Although she had also gained many benefits before, she achieved the King Rank by fighting her way up step by step on the Outer Domain Battlefield, experiencing countless dangers.
She was well aware of just how difficult it was to become King-level Immortal God.
That guy Golden Sword has spent almost twice as much time fighting on the Outer Domain Battlefield, and all he's made is the title of ' Black Sword Marquis '.
Yi Yun's success today is undoubtedly due to the great guidance and cultivation he received from his teacher.
"However... I am still the teacher's most outstanding disciple!" Ling Yu was very confident. Not to mention the 18th floor of the Heavenly Bridge, even the 19th floor of the Heavenly Bridge could not stop her from moving forward.
"Since Yi Yun has already caused a sensation, why not add fuel to the fire and let others know just how outstanding our teacher's ability to cultivate disciples is?"
Ling Yu felt a sense of anticipation, and the next second she appeared on the Tongtian Bridge Plane.
Seeing that there was no one on the Ten Thousand Universes Heavenly Bridge, Ling Yu flew over without hesitation.
Not long after, Jin Jian, carrying a giant golden Golden Sword, also appeared on the Tongtian Bridge Plane. However, there were still people fighting on the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge at the moment, so he had to wait in line.
" Golden Sword Highness, it's been a long time... Are you confident you can cross the 17th Heavenly Bridge?"
Bafen, dressed in a black robe adorned with stars, appeared beside him at some point.
"Lord Bafen, you're too narrow-minded. I've fought on the Outer Domain Battlefield for twenty thousand years. Now, a seventeen-story Heavenly Bridge is nothing to me."
Golden Sword cupped his hands in greeting.
"Forehead!"
Hearing Golden Sword say that, Bafen almost choked. How could this guy say something so irritating?
"Could it be that Your Highness Golden Sword Jian can also cross the 18-level Heavenly Bridge? Just like Your Yi Yun?"
Bafen asked, somewhat surprised.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say. We'll only know after we try." Golden Sword wasn't entirely confident about the 18th floor, so he didn't boast. Although he was certain he had the strength to Heavenly Bridge, having the strength to cross the 18th floor didn't necessarily mean he could make it through.
"It seems that His Highness Golden Sword still has some confidence. Hmm..." Bafen suddenly looked in the direction of the Ten Thousand Universes Heavenly Bridge. He naturally paid attention to Ling Yu as soon as he entered the Tongtian Bridge Plane. He only came over to greet Golden Sword after seeing Golden Sword. He didn't expect that in just one moment, Ling Yu had already reached the 19th level of the Heavenly Bridge.
"It passed! It actually got through!"
Bafen was astonished.
He then looked at the composed Golden Sword beside him and said with a smile, "Your Highness Golden Sword Jian, Your Ling Yu was also just crossing the Heavenly Bridge. She has already crossed the 19th level of the Ten Thousand Universes Heavenly Bridge."
" Ling Yu has passed the 19th floor?"
Golden Sword was stunned, somewhat lacking confidence... Although he knew that Ling Yu had killed the Soul Chaser King, he also knew that the other party had succeeded by relying on Soul True Treasure and venom. He never expected that Ling Yu's Law Comprehension would be so exaggerated.
"Yes, Your Highness, do you perhaps think I would deceive you? You should receive an official email from Virtual Universe Company shortly."
Bafen chuckled.
Golden Sword glanced at his email and, sure enough, received several emails. He clicked on the last one, which was the news that Ling Yu had passed the 19th level of the Heavenly Bridge.
Without saying a word, he turned around.
" Golden Sword Highness, where are you going? The Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge is about to close."
" Your Golden Sword, don't go!"
Hearing Guardian Bafen's words from behind, Golden Sword quickened his pace and disappeared from the Tongtian Bridge Plane a dozen meters away from Bafen.
Knowing that Ling Yu had passed the 19th level of the Heavenly Bridge, he naturally wouldn't continue to try the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge. He was here to show off, and if he tried to pass the Heavenly Bridge now, wouldn't he just become a background figure?
Even if you manage to cross the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge, you will still be overshadowed by the light of the Ling Yu. If you can't even cross the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge, you will become a laughing stock.
Golden Sword didn't want to become just a background character...
"A 19-story Heavenly Bridge is nothing. After tens of thousands of years of secluded cultivation, I'll definitely be able to cross it!"
Golden Sword was not discouraged by Ling Yu in crossing the 19th level of the Heavenly Bridge; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit.
Throughout his life, Golden Sword has never been inferior to anyone, at least not to a woman. Sooner or later, he will surpass Ling Yu!
The future definitely belongs to him!
The distant, Barbarian Universe Country, Manka Star.
Inside the enormous palace, Wu Man stared at the emails, his dark face filled with astonishment.
"Junior Brother Yi Yun's passage through the Heavenly Bridge was already impressive, but I didn't expect Senior Sister Ling Yu to be even more amazing, actually passing through the 19th level Heavenly Bridge one go... Teacher's disciples are all defying the heavens, while I'm still only at the level of the 16th level of the Heavenly Bridge."
Wu Man looked up at his father, the emperor of Manka Star.
"Father, was I too stupid?"
"Nonsense!" Emperor Manka Star shook his head. "You are the fruit of my and your mother's lives, our only child. How could your talent be ordinary? Don't even think about comparing yourself to Yi Yun, or Ling Yu... Can't you compare yourself to others? How long have you been cultivating? In the Primal Secret Region, your strength is already considered mid-tier."
"But they're both disciples of the same teacher, yet the difference is just too great." Wu Man was somewhat discouraged.
"Over the past ten thousand years, Yi Yun has been meticulously nurtured by Myriad Laws Venerable, expending countless resources. It's normal for him to have made progress. When your teacher bestowed the Snow Demon Flower upon you, wasn't your progress also astonishing? Ling Yu is fighting on the Outer Domain Battlefield and is also the disciple of the Chaos City Lord. What's there to compare her to? Wu Man... you will always be your father's pride and the ancestor's most proud descendant. Don't think about these nonsense things. Otherwise, you should consider your marriage."
"Ah, Father, didn't we agree not to pressure him into marriage for now?" Wu Man asked, somewhat troubled.
"We didn't urge you before because your strength was steadily improving. Now that you've hit a bottleneck, what's the point of not getting married? Do you want our Manka Star royal family to lose its lineage?" the Manka Star Emperor rebuked.
"Although our Manka Star possesses a first-class bloodline in the universe, with each individual displaying extraordinary talent, the cost is also immense. Our reproduction rate is far too low to compare with other races. You are now World Lord... you must consider this matter."
"Yes, Father, I agree, but I don't want a woman from the Aragami Race!" Wu Man made his final concession.
"You can say these things to me, but don't let your mother hear them. The Barbarian Universe Country is ruled by our Manka Race and the Aragami Race. It would be best if we united."
"No, that's my bottom line."
"You scoundrel, you should be grateful you found someone suitable, why are you being so picky? Tell me, which ethnic group do you want to marry into?"
" The Mengluo Wing Race and the Starry Tree Race," Wu Man said.
The Emperor of Manka Star thought for a moment, "I can see you like pretty faces, but the Mengluo Wing Race won't do, their bloodline level is too low. The Starry Tree Race is fine..."
The Starry Tree Race is a first-class bloodline among the Human Race of the universe, possessing a special talent for procreation. Every member of the clan is incredibly precious. If it weren't for Wu Man's status and position, even the emperor of Manka Star might not have been confident in finding him an outstanding member of the Starry Tree Race to marry.
"Don't leave Manka Star recently. A hundred years from now, your father will hold a wedding for you. Try to invite your teacher, Myriad Laws Venerable, to come. If Myriad Laws Venerable graces us with his presence, Manka Star will have more prestige."
"I'll give it a try, but the teacher might not have time." Wu Man nodded.
"Yes, just ask. It doesn't matter if you come or not."
The emperor of Manka Star nodded, knowing that these matters were not something his son could decide.
