In the Virtual Universe, on Thunder Mountain, there is a manor halfway up the mountain.
"Teacher, I have disappointed you."
Ling Yu looked somewhat dejected.
After traversing the 20-level Heavenly Bridge and the Primal Heavenly Mountain, she came here immediately.
As for the result...
She easily crossed the 20-story Heavenly Bridge, but failed when she tried to conquer the Primal Heavenly Mountain.
While sipping his bright red fruit wine, Lu Qingshan said, "Your cultivation time is relatively short, only tens of thousands of years. The fact that you managed to cross the 20 levels of the Heavenly Bridge already surprised many. The Primal Heavenly Mountain —far more difficult than the 20 levels —Heavenly Bridge is a different story. The three guardians at the summit are equivalent to three opponents on the Heavenly Bridge, and they are a martial artist, Spirit Reader, and an illusionist working together. Don't even mention you; even the renowned King Rank of Chaos City, who have cultivated for countless years, might not be able to pass it."
"But our teacher, at the World Lord Level, easily passed through." Ling Yu sat down opposite Lu Qingshan, a hint of resentment still in her eyes.
The World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain, is a benchmark. Passing it makes one one of the top geniuses of the Human Race. If one fails to pass it, even she, as the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord and the Myriad Laws Venerable, cannot be classified as one of the top geniuses.
"I've told you countless times, don't compare yourself to me. If you do, you'll live a life of disappointment." Lu Qingshan shook his head and continued, "With your talent for cultivation, if you spend a little more time honing your skills, you still have a chance to conquer the Primal Heavenly Mountain. Don't rush it."
"But teacher, I intend to break through to the Immortal God realm," Ling Yu said with a sigh.
"Hmm? You don't need to be in such a hurry." Lu Qingshan was a little surprised. Although he hoped that Ling Yu would break through and improve his cashback level, he had never urged his disciple.
"My understanding of the Space Origin Law has been recognized. Even if I break through to Immortal, my Law Comprehension will not decrease too much. I wish to become King-level Immortal God as soon as possible and cultivate your Amplitude Secret Technique, Master. I also have some personal matters to attend to."
"Hmm." Lu Qingshan nodded, without asking any further questions.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I watched your challenge video. In terms of attack power, even the three gatekeepers working together probably wouldn't be a match for you. However, their teamwork is excellent, especially that illusionist, who poses a significant threat to you—in the Tongtian Mountain Plane, without Soul True Treasure to protect you, it will be difficult to deal with them—and that Spirit Reader can easily restrain you. Only that minotaur is the least threatening to you."
Lu Qingshan paused for a moment, then continued.
"To quickly traverse the Primal Heavenly Mountain, the first challenge is overcoming the Snake Woman illusionist's ability to restrain you. Once you overcome this, you'll have a much better chance of succeeding. If you further improve your agility, the probability of success will exceed ninety-nine percent."
Ling Yu nodded. What the teacher said was precisely her biggest disadvantage right now.
"Teacher, none of these disciples can improve in a short time."
"Since you intend to break through to Immortal as soon as possible, I will lend you a hand—I will have Zhen Yan preside over the trial illusion for you, and I will also give you a treasure to help you comprehend the secret techniques quickly. With your talent, it shouldn't be difficult for you to comprehend a Soul Defense Secret Technique. If you have the opportunity, you can also continue to comprehend some of the Thunderlight secret techniques in the ' Eight Fists of the Thunder Beast ' to enhance your mobility, making it easier to face those Spirit Reader."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yu's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "This disciple thanks you, Master."
"You are my disciple, no need to be so polite—as soon as possible, conquer that Primal Heavenly Mountain, and after your breakthrough, come to the Ganwu Universe Country, where I will impart to you that secret technique!"
"Yes, I understand."
Several days later, at the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters on the mainland.
On a remote mountain cliff.
The figure of Venerable Zhen Yan air.
" Ling Yu greets Zhen Yan."
Ling Yu stood up and bowed.
" Ling Yu —I am here on my teacher's orders to deliver this treasure to you."
Venerable Zhen Yan took out a seven-colored lotus flower.
Then, with envy, he said, "This treasure is extremely precious, and its method of use is very simple. You only need to activate it with divine power, and then your consciousness will enter a virtual world where time does not pass. Your comprehension will be infinitely enhanced, and Creation Secret Technique will be effortless. This treasure is extremely precious even to me. Since your teacher values you so much, you must cherish it and not disappoint your teacher."
Seven-Colored Heart-Enlightenment Lotus!
Venerable Zhen Yan obtained one back then, and with the magical effects of this treasure, he created a peak attack technique at the Universe Venerable level.
Although his ability to Creation Secret Technique was partly due to his vast wealth, this treasure also played a crucial role.
Ling Yu was merely World Lord Level, yet her teacher bestowed upon her such a precious treasure—simply to allow her to pass through the Primal Heavenly Mountain. Even Venerable Zhen Yan was astonished.
It seems that the teacher values his junior sister Ling Yu far more than we imagined! Otherwise, even if the teacher were extremely generous, he wouldn't bestow resources at the Universe Venerable level to a disciple who is merely at the World Lord Level!
"Extremely precious even to Universe Venerable?"
Ling Yu looked at the seven-colored lotus flower in front of her, a look of shock on her face. A few days ago at Thunder Mountain, her teacher said he would give her a treasure, but did not say what it was. She never expected it to be so precious.
Her own authority was already equivalent to that of Universe Venerable, but after searching, she found no information about this treasure.
Venerable Zhen Yan reminded him, "My teacher said before that this treasure is extremely precious. You should use it yourself and not reveal it to anyone."
" Ling Yu understands."
Ling Yu completely deleted the search history she had just retrieved.
Venerable Zhen Yan nodded and continued, "I will first conduct a trial illusion for you in the Virtual Universe. Then you will use this treasure in reality. The surrounding space has been completely Space Lock, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Ling Yu separated a wisp of her consciousness and entered the Virtual Universe, where she appeared in the trial cave.
She had already used up her original thousand-year opportunity, but with the help of the Universe Venerable, she could use it at any time.
" Soul Defense Secret Technique ----"
Ling Yu recalled what she had learned—and then, in reality, slowly activated the Seven-Colored Heart-Enlightenment Lotus.
In the Virtual Universe of Thunder Mountain, there is a manor located halfway up the mountain.
Several Universe Venerable from the Virtual Universe Company gathered together and had just rewatched Ling Yu's challenge video.
"This Ling Yu truly lives up to his reputation as the most prized disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable. He easily conquered the 20 levels of the Ten Thousand Universes Heavenly Bridge. Once he breaks through to the Immortal God, he will become another powerful King Rank."
The short, mustache-strewn Venerable Leiying spoke with a smile.
"Truly a genius. To have reached this level in just tens of thousands of years. Even Kedi. It must have taken Shi Huo Venerable tens of thousands of years to cross the 20 levels of the Heavenly Bridge," Venerable Xuesha praised.
Venerable Xuesha was quite satisfied with his disciple Luosha, but compared to the disciple of Myriad Laws Venerable, the gap was still very large.
Ling Yu's progress surprised even these Universe Venerable.
"Although Ling Yu has passed through 20 levels of the Heavenly Bridge, she is unable to pass through the Primal Heavenly Mountain, which is a bit of a pity."
Venerable Beiming shook his head and said.
" Beiming, your expectations are too high. Ling Yu is still young, so it's normal that she can't pass the test now. She will have a chance in the future—as long as she can hone her willpower or create Peak Secret Technique, she will still have a chance to pass!" Venerable Youyue smiled faintly.
"Yes, we can't expect too much from young people—if the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain were so easy to conquer, it wouldn't be the benchmark for our Human Race's geniuses. Ling Yu can already be called a genius that appears only once every hundred million epochs."
" Shi Huo's progress was consistently rapid; he encountered almost no bottlenecks before becoming Universe Venerable, comprehending the Law of Space in just a few dozen epochs. Ling Yu's progress is also quite good; I wonder if he can maintain such a rapid pace and become Universe Venerable within a hundred epochs?"
"This is too difficult—after all, she has only barely made it across the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge, and she couldn't even pass through the Primal Heavenly Mountain. To comprehend the Time Law and become a Celestial Sovereign in less than a hundred epochs is almost impossible—the gap Heavenly Bridge the 20th and 21st Heavenly Bridge Heavenly Bridge is far more difficult than all the previous 20 levels combined."
"Yes, the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge only requires comprehending one of the three major branches of the Higher Law, while the 21st Heavenly Bridge requires a complete understanding of one of the Higher Law. This difference in level has stopped countless Human Race."
" Ling Yu's talent is indeed impressive, but compared to Kedi and Shi Huo, there's still some gap between them."
Right now.
Several Universe Venerable simultaneously received an email.
How could that be?
"They made it through? That shouldn't be possible!"
"Look at the challenge video. How long has it been? How could Ling Yu possibly have passed the Primal Heavenly Mountain?"
Several Universe Venerable immediately began checking the latest video.
In the video.
Ling Yu reached the mountaintop with the same ease as last time, and then, as if cutting melons and vegetables, directly killed the three gatekeepers.
They broke through in less than a minute!
Although the level progression is very fast.
However, the few Universe Venerable were still able to discover some information.
Venerable Lei Ming exclaimed in surprise, " Ling Yu's soul defense has improved significantly. It's impossible for her willpower to be enhanced so quickly. Could it be that she has created Peak Secret Technique soul defense?"
"Yes, I saw that too. That illusionist had almost no effect on her, at least it was Soul Defense Secret Technique at the peak of the Immortal realm. But willpower can't be improved in a short time, so could this technique be improved in a short time?" Venerable Beiming said in surprise.
Venerable Leiying took a breath. "Did you notice her movement technique? That's the secret technique of Thunderlight from the ' Eight Fists of the Thunder Beast.' Last time, she only used three bolts of Thunderlight, but this time she easily used nine. Could it be that she deliberately concealed her strength last time?"
"Hidden strength? What's the point?" Venerable Beiming asked.
Everyone else shook their heads.
Hiding your strength is pointless.
It's definitely better to conquer the Primal Heavenly Mountain in one go than in two.
"Could it be Myriad Laws Venerable— " Venerable Beiming guessed, "After Ling Yu failed the trial, he went to see his teacher, Myriad Laws Venerable, and received Myriad Laws Venerable's help, which is why he improved so quickly?"
"There seems to be no other explanation. Although Ling Yu is also a personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, the Chaos City Lord generally doesn't do these things for his disciples."
"If it's the Myriad Laws Venerable, then it makes sense. He became the Universe Overlord in tens of thousands of years; any miracle that happens to him seems quite reasonable."
Several Universe Venerable quickly guessed the truth of the matter.
As Universe Venerable, their vision is naturally extraordinary. Ling Yu could not have made such a huge improvement in a short period of time on his own. It could only be with the help of the Myriad Laws Venerable or the Chaos City Lord. However, the Lord of Chaos City generally would not do such things, so only the Myriad Laws Venerable is left. Moreover, the Myriad Laws Venerable is very generous to his disciples.
"To ensure his disciple could pass through the Primal Heavenly Mountain, Myriad Laws Venerable must have paid a considerable price this time. Venerable Youyue, I heard that one of your juniors will also be participating in this Genius Battle?"
Venerable Youyue chuckled and said, "That little fellow is just going to join in the fun; he probably won't achieve anything good."
Venerable Lei Ming chuckled, " Venerable Youyue, don't try to force things. It's easy to boost your juniors' strength in the short term, but they'll eventually revert to their previous potential, so it's pointless."
"How could that be? Myriad Laws Venerable isn't blind. How could he not see potential?"
Venerable Youyue smiled faintly.
In just one year, Ling Yu made two attempts to conquer the Primal Heavenly Mountain, failing once and succeeding once, causing a great stir among Human Race powerhouses and geniuses.
Those powerful figures who already valued the Genius Battle increased their investment in their younger, talented peers.
One after another, treasures beyond the imagination of those geniuses were smashed down, and their strength increased rapidly. Everyone was eager to see the battle four years later.
The Ganwu Mystic Region.
Inside the luxurious palace, Lu Qingshan glanced at the thank-you email sent by Ling Yu and smiled slightly.
Having conquered the Primal Heavenly Mountain, Ling Yu should soon break through to become Immortal God, and after that, her realm will directly—
They will reach the Peak King, possessing strength comparable to Invincible King.
After further cultivating the Body of Time, her strength will easily surpass that of the previous True Yan King. She will become the strongest King-level Immortal God among the Human Race, and even among the millions of King Rank in the Hongmeng Alliance, she will be one of the top existences.
As First-Class Genius, receiving a ten-thousand-fold return, even if Ling Yu were given ordinary True Treasure, it's estimated that he could receive Supreme Treasure just like Zhen Yan.
This is a very significant improvement.
Seemingly sensing something, Lu Qingshan closed the email and glanced in the direction of the Time House.
"With Time Acceleration a thousand times, Luo Feng's Shadow Demon Race Clone is finally about to be successfully formed!"
