The Guixu Secret Realm, far removed from the Human Race, lies outside the Ruin Wind Mountain.
The Ganwu Country Lord stood atop a mountain, eagerly awaiting the arrival of several figures who flew over from the other side of Ruin Wind Mountain after a long while.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the Ganwu Country Lord hurriedly went to greet him.
" Ganwu, I've kept you waiting!"
Venerable Beiming walked at the front, patted the Ganwu Country Lord on the shoulder, and said happily.
" Ganwu, you've finally come out! Come with us this time. Our team is definitely among the top three in this dangerous place, Ruin Wind Mountain!" Venerable Lei Ming greeted him with a smile.
" Ganwu, haha! It's been a long time since I've seen you out on an adventure!"
The Ganwu Country Lord looked at the others and said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you all to come out and take me with you."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. We were planning to come out and rest anyway, and with you, Ganwu, along, our strength has increased considerably."
--
The team, originally consisting of four people, became five people with the addition of Ganwu.
"That's right, Ganwu, don't overthink it. We were going to come out anyway. There's nowhere to rest in that dangerous place, and there's always risk. We've had a good haul this time, and we were just about to send someone to take the profits back!"
When the Universe Venerable ventures into secret realms, he rarely carries any treasures other than his main combat weapons. After all, a person can be resurrected after death, but if a treasure is lost, it's gone forever.
If they accidentally acquire too much, they will first return the spoils.
"It seems you've had quite a haul this time!"
The Ganwu Country Lord said with delight.
"Haha, luck, luck! Actually, it's all thanks to Beiming. We were lucky to find that place. Ganwu, don't worry, come with us, and we'll definitely make you a fortune." Venerable Lei Ming laughed heartily.
Listening to their words, the Ganwu Country Lord was filled with anticipation.
If it weren't for the fact that others needed to rest and transport supplies, he would have loved to go in right now.
The Ganwu Country Lord glanced at Beiming. He figured the others were probably willing to include him in the pie because of Beiming.
After all, it was Beiming who discovered that place, so he still had some say in the decision-making process.
Although he was polite to everyone, the Ganwu Country Lord knew who was truly helping him.
The group entrusted the most powerful member, Venerable Lei Ming, to transport the supplies back, while the others continued chatting.
"The drop rate in this Guixu Secret Realm has increased significantly recently. Many powerful individuals have arrived, and the probability of encountering Universe Venerable has noticeably risen."
"That's right. We might not have encountered one every ten years or so, but recently we've been seeing Alien Race Universe Venerable teams quite frequently—"
There will definitely be more and more in the future.
"There are many people, a real mix, all sorts of people, and I'm worried someone might break the rules."
"That's right. I heard that a Universe Venerable recently went to the Ruin Soul Grassland. He's so desperate for money that he's taken over the place where those little King Rank kids were digging for Guixu Soul Fruit and panning for gold."
"That's how it is with the Universe Venerable of smaller clans. They lack knowledge and have mediocre strength. They dare not go to dangerous places. The Guixu Soul Fruit is nothing to the Universe Venerable of our peak clans, but it is a very precious treasure in smaller clans."
Hearing these conversations, the Ganwu Country Lord blushed, thankful that he had changed his appearance in advance, otherwise he would have lost face in front of his old friend!
He nodded in agreement.
"That's normal. After all, the top-tier clans only have a few Universe Venerable; most are from smaller clans. As they arrive, some are bound to lack martial ethics and bully the younger ones."
" Ganwu, you're lucky you made it in time. At this rate of exploration, I'm afraid that after a few more eras, this secret realm will yield very little."
"It's alright, it's alright—at least I'm making a living by following you guys." The Ganwu Country Lord said with a smile.
"That's right, following us guarantees you'll make money!" Venerable Leiying stroked his little mustache and said with certainty.
Venerable Lei Ming was very fast, and returned to Ruin Wind Mountain in just a few days. The team rested for a few days, mainly to give the Ganwu Country Lord a crash course on the dangerous land. After that, the team of five crossed Ruin Wind Mountain again and entered that dangerous land.
The Ganwu Country Lord and his entourage had not been in the dangerous area for long.
A colossal, snow-white Sky Wolf appeared at the entrance to Ruin Wind Mountain.
His blood-red eyes gazed into the dangerous place within the Ruin Wind Mountain.
"According to Watasi's description, that Void Star Stone vein is trillions of kilometers in diameter, and it might even give birth to Void Spirit Marrow. It's definitely worth the trip."
The words had barely left his mouth.
A gigantic white, shuttle-shaped palace appeared out of thin air, and Sky Wolf's massive body vanished along with the palace, heading deeper into the dangerous land.
The Virtual Universe Company Headquarters located on the mainland, outside the Cosmic Passage.
Clang!
The passageway gate slowly opened, and rows of spaceships flew towards the passageway in neat formation.
The spaceships were densely packed together, as if they were being inspected.
In the lounge of one of the spaceships.
Several Immortal God from the Virtual Universe Company looked at the spaceships taking off one after another ahead, revealing a hint of surprise.
"I didn't expect so many spaceships to be heading to the Initial Universe today."
"Of course, in a few days it will be the first lecture given by Myriad Laws Venerable after becoming Universe Venerable. Besides the privileged King Rank experts, I heard some people in the queue have been waiting for half a month."
"Their intelligence network is very efficient. We shouldn't have received the news too late."
"It's not too late. Thanks to Nan Hui for informing us immediately, we were able to get leave. In our department, countless people would love to come, but no one has the chance."
" Nan Hui is incredibly lucky. He actually became a personal disciple of Universe Venerable, and not just any disciple, but the Myriad Laws Venerable, who is skilled at teaching disciples. No wonder his strength has increased so quickly; he's already Marquis Dark Star."
"Haha, Nan Hui is lucky! We're also fortunate to have Nan Hui as a friend—otherwise, how could we have received the news so quickly!"
"I've heard that many other geniuses from major powers have come to try their luck—this is the first lecture since Myriad Laws Venerable became the Universe Venerable, and he might take on a disciple!"
" The Myriad Laws Venerable is Universe Venerable from our Virtual Universe Company. If anyone's going to recruit, it should be one of our own. They should stop dreaming!"
"Haha, that's right! Virtual Universe Company has countless geniuses, so what chance do other forces have for geniuses!"
The group chatted amongst themselves, and soon it was their turn to line up. The spaceship took off and disappeared into the Cosmic Passage.
Chaos City, in a manor.
King Anju looked at his friend whom he hadn't seen in a long time and chuckled.
" Myriad Time King, I didn't expect you to be back in Chaos City. Weren't you adventuring in the Cosmic Secret Realm?"
"At my level, taking risks is of little use anymore. I heard that Myriad Laws Venerable is personally giving a lecture, and Myriad Laws Venerable is also the Time Venerable, so naturally I have to come and try my luck," said Myriad Time King, taking a sip of fine wine.
"You're quite boastful. How much have you improved over the years?" King Anju asked with a smile.
"I'm slightly better than you; now that Time Acceleration, we're almost at the same level," said Myriad Time King.
"Oh, Time Stop, Time Acceleration. If you master both, you are indeed much more powerful than me—but you need to tone down your temper. How can you be so discouraging?" King Anju smiled slightly.
Myriad Time King didn't care at all and continued, "I heard you've pledged allegiance to Myriad Laws Venerable? What do you think of Myriad Laws Venerable? If I were to ask him, would he be willing to answer my questions?"
King Anju said, "That depends on your attitude. Myriad Laws Venerable is quite easy to talk to. If you are sincere, there shouldn't be any problem. After all, you are a renowned Peak King."
Hearing this, Myriad Time King felt somewhat relieved and waved his hand, saying, "I'm not stupid. I know my own limitations in front of Universe Venerable."
King Anju laughed and said, "The lectures will take a few more days. If you don't mind the poor quality of the wine here, please have a drink and chat with me."
"It's okay, I have some."
Myriad Time King brought out a pile of fine wines.
On a street in Chaos City, a group of young people gathered together, watching powerful figures fly in from Chaos City.
"What day is it today? Why are so many Immortal God returning? Was that the Space-Rending King just now? I've seen him before."
"It's not just the Space-Rending King, the Myriad Time King, and the Heavenly Feather King —a whole bunch of King-level Immortal have come."
Another young man, dressed in magnificent clothes and wearing gilded armor, spoke up.
" Hong Shan, you are a descendant of the Universe Country Lord, you should know something, right? Tell me."
All eyes turned to the boy in the gilded armor.
The boy coughed twice and said, "Because today is the day the great Myriad Laws Venerable is giving a lecture, those Immortal God and King Rank have all come to listen."
"Is Myriad Laws Venerable the top genius that my teacher mentioned? Will we have the opportunity to attend his lectures?"
Another girl in red spoke up.
The boy in the gilded armor shook his head and said, "No, we're not qualified. If we could attend the lecture, I would have gone long ago. The content of Myriad Laws Venerable's lecture this time is too advanced. Only Immortal God are allowed to attend. Below the Immortal, only members of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Region and a few of Myriad Laws Venerable's disciples are qualified."
"That's not fair! Why is it only the Primal Secret Region that's allowed? What's wrong with the members of my Glory Secret Realm?"
"Of course, the difference is that you're not a genius from the Virtual Universe Company lineage."
The boy in the gilded armor said with a smile.
Chaos City is shared by the five major Human Race forces, and naturally it is not just the Virtual Universe Company. Apart from the geniuses of the Giant Axe Arena who rarely come here, geniuses from other forces often come here to study the Chaos Stele.
Of course, the five major powers also have varying degrees of closeness and distance. It's already quite good if those above the Immortal can freely attend classes, so it's normal to impose restrictions on those below the Immortal.
The girl in red, who had just felt it was unfair, was immediately deflated upon hearing the answer and walked over to another gifted boy.
" Feng Lang, it's such a pity this time. If you could have attended the lectures of this Myriad Laws Venerable, with your talent, you might have been accepted as his disciple."
"I already have a teacher," said the boy dressed in animal skin.
"What do you know? Your teacher may be very powerful, but he's nowhere near as good as the Universe Venerable."
A group of young geniuses were chatting amongst themselves, unaware that the Myriad Laws Venerable they had just been discussing had just walked past them.
Lu Qingshan strolled slowly toward the No. 1 residence.
At the same time, he was checking information about the boy from earlier.
" Feng Lang — Human Race genius, discovered by the intelligence agency under the Hongmeng Alliance more than 10,000 years ago and joined it. Later, he was recommended by its captain to join the Universe Mercenary Alliance. Nine thousand years ago, he stormed into the Glory Secret Realm and later became a disciple of the renowned Initial King expert, Ash Annihilation King, within the Universe Mercenary Alliance!"
Ash Annihilation King - extremely famous?
Lu Qingshan then investigated and quickly found out the reason.
The Ash Annihilation King once exhausted almost all his wealth in an attempt to resurrect his disciple, but ultimately failed. After this incident, his fame spread, and many geniuses vied to become his disciples.
After reading this, Lu Qingshan understood everything.
Kabel had become his servant, so how could he not know who the genius teacher from the Universe Mercenary Alliance, whom he had killed, was?
Although it backfired, this guy did have some luck.
The events of that time were too long ago, and the Ash Annihilation King had never attacked him, so Lu Qingshan naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against him.
A Initial King, unable to even defeat his own disciple, is not worth holding a grudge against.
However, this Feng Lang...
Back in the Wizard God Continent, Lu Qingshan only considered the other party as a tool for cashback. He never expected that the other party would actually be lucky enough to emerge from that void and even come to him in the Initial Universe.
Since that's the case, it can be considered a kind of fate.
Lu Qingshan walked through the gates of the mansion and then had Nasus send an email.
