"I told Hong before that Earth is definitely special, and now it seems that the Giant Axe Arena has confirmed it."
Lu Qingshan continued.
"Leaving aside the others, you, Hong, and Thunder God all have incredibly strong wills. You can pass through 15 Illusion Sea, Thunder God can pass through 18, and as for Hong—Hong can probably pass through 20. You've been in the Virtual Universe for so long, you should know what this means."
Luo Feng's expression was serious; he naturally knew what this meant.
The number 15 represents the willpower of Marquis Immortal God, 18 represents King Rank, and 20 is already close to Universe Venerable.
Before Luo Feng could answer, Lu Qingshan continued, "It's now basically certain that Earthling possess unparalleled advantages in terms of mental fortitude. This is likely due to Earth's unique environment. Willpower is the most crucial element in becoming a strong individual. Those who follow the Illusionist or Spirit Reader have additional advantages. Earthling ' only weakness is their low bloodline level, but bloodline is easily resolved. Any Immortal God can ensure their descendants possess a relatively good bloodline."
"Therefore, the Universe Venerable at the Giant Axe Arena need Earth—they need Earth to nurture their descendants."
"If future generations possess the willpower and talents of Earthling, their chances of becoming powerful individuals will increase significantly with the resources they receive."
"The reason those Universe Venerable haven't personally intervened is twofold: first, they want to save face and avoid a complete falling out with me; second, they want to muddy the waters and prevent things from escalating. If the Universe Venerable came to you, I would definitely know. But the King Rank's intervention is just right—it puts enough pressure on you without escalating the situation. I might not even know about it, and even if I did, without knowing the true purpose of Earth, I might not take it seriously. Once you agree to their terms and complete the formalities, it becomes a fait accompli. Even for me—it would be very difficult to help you reclaim Earth."
Hearing what the teacher said, Luo Feng suddenly understood.
I never realized how important Earth is.
Even the Universe Venerable values it highly.
No wonder the Demon Candle King and the Green Vine King both seemed so determined to win.
Before meeting Hong and Thunder God, he really didn't want to disturb his teacher's cultivation over such a trivial matter.
"Teacher, aren't they afraid of being punished by you for forcing their disciples to sell Earth?" Luo Feng asked.
"Haha, don't overestimate your master. I'm merely a Universe Venerable one, I don't have that much influence—"
Although our Ganwu Lineage holds some power within the Virtual Universe Company, it doesn't yet have much influence over the Giant Axe Arena. Take the Demon Candle King, for example; his father is the Shi Huo Venerable — Universe Venerable who rose to prominence tens of thousands of years ago, a top genius of the Human Race, and a direct disciple of the Lord of Void Gold."
"And then there's the Green Vine King. He's a subordinate of the Undying Venerable Undying Venerable, who is Universe Overlord with formidable strength, especially in his ability to protect himself. Behind the Undying Venerable is the Lord Lan Cang —which of these guys doesn't have a powerful backer?"
King-level Immortal God, Universe Venerable, Universe Master ----
Hearing what the teacher said...
Luo Feng was almost in despair.
The mere King Rank had already forced him to relocate all the Earthling, but little did he know that there was an even more powerful backer behind the King Rank.
"Teacher, what should I do?"
Luo Feng was somewhat anxious.
Lu Qingshan said, "Don't forget, you are a genius from the Primal Secret Region realm of our Virtual Universe Company. Even if we are developing Earth, we shouldn't let the Giant Axe Arena take the lead, let alone hand it over to a Universe Venerable from the Giant Axe Arena! You can take the initiative to contact the higher-ups of the Virtual Universe Company and explain the reasons—let the Virtual Universe Company negotiate with the Giant Axe Arena. However, during this process, you must not agree to any conditions from anyone, including those from the Virtual Universe Company. Everything will be decided after I return from this Myriad Spirit Mystic Region —if anyone forces you, just convey this message!"
"Yes, teacher, I understand."
Hearing his teacher's words, Luo Feng felt much more relaxed.
The teacher said they would make a decision after we got back, so the teacher must have a way to deal with the current situation.
The teacher is Universe Venerable, and there are several Universe Venerable in his lineage. Within the Virtual Universe Company, they still wield considerable influence!
" Luo Feng, don't worry, Earth is still there, no one dares to destroy it—you just need to protect the Earthling, and then you stay in the Primal Secret Region Primal Secret Region, don't go anywhere else, it's absolutely safe there!"
"Yes, disciple apologizes for disturbing you."
Luo Feng bowed respectfully, then slowly took his leave.
After Luo Feng left, Lu Qingshan's figure also disappeared from Thunder Mountain Manor.
In reality, he sped up again and soon arrived near the coordinates given to him by the Shadow Lord.
"It seems that not demonstrating my strength over the years has caused many people to lose their respect, and now they're even bullying my disciple."
Shi Huo Venerable ----
Calling him a genius is giving him too much credit.
If it weren't for having the Lord of Void Gold as his backing, Lu Qingshan could have easily beaten Silver Eyes to a pulp.
The fact that someone could raise such an arrogant and domineering son suggests that like father, like son.
And then there's the Undying Venerable.
I wonder if it's really possible to be immortal?
Although these Universe Venerable did not personally take action, Lu Qingshan still remembered them.
Are they trying to pressure Luo Feng by bestowing King Rank one by one, testing his limits?
If you succeed, everything will be fine; if you fail, you can easily shift the blame. But things in this world aren't that simple.
Lu Qingshan moved quickly, and soon he sensed three Universe Venerable and a giant turtle whose body was as large as a mountain.
At this moment, apart from its shell, the giant turtle was in a terrible state.
Its thick tail and limbs have all disappeared.
Only the enormous turtle head retracts into its sturdy shell.
They're trapped like fish in a barrel!
" Tianyang Venerable! We discovered this Profound Ice Giant Softshell Turtle first! We've fought for so long, and you think you can just take advantage of us?"
A furious roar rang out.
The speaker was an old man dressed in white armor, his face covered in wrinkles, looking like a piece of decaying wood.
"Haha, Venerable Kuxin Hongmeng Alliance! Thank you for working for me. I've got my eye on this Profound Ice Giant Softshell Turtle. You can all get lost now!"
A bald man with a pair of Flowing Light Wings and eight arms flew over.
While they were talking.
The black shuttle in his hand transformed into a streak of black light and hurtled towards the two Universe Venerable.
"Boom!!"
It took the combined efforts of Venerable Kuxin and another Universe Venerable to barely block this attack, and their expressions changed drastically.
The Universe Overlord is indeed powerful. If they hadn't been worried about the Profound Ice Giant Softshell Turtle escaping and hadn't focused on dealing with them, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape.
"Walk!!"
Without further hesitation, the two turned and left.
However, at this moment, Tianyang Venerable, who was originally gloating over the success of his plan, changed his expression slightly. He turned around, and a figure wearing a blue robe appeared out of nowhere. In the instant he made his move, the figure shattered the shell of the Profound Ice Giant Softshell Turtle with a single slash and held a fist-sized Myriad Spirit Pearl in his hand.
Who are you! That's my trophy!
Although Tianyang Venerable was furious, he did not attack directly, because shattering the sturdy tortoise shell with a single strike proved that the opponent definitely possessed the attack power of Universe Overlord.
The human in front of him seemed to be someone he had never seen before.
" Human Race, Myriad Laws Venerable!"
Lu Qingshan put away the Myriad Spirit Pearl, gripped his War Blade, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He said, " Tianyang Venerable, I have searched for you for a long time, and I have finally found you."
"You are the Myriad Laws Venerable! You have quite the nerve, daring to come looking for me!"
Tianyang Venerable found Myriad Laws Venerable's information almost instantly.
A top human genius who only became Universe Venerable 20,000 years ago, rumored to possess the strength of Universe Overlord.
He was the junior brother of the Hongmeng Alliance Longjing Venerable he had killed before.
" Tianyang Venerable —you killed my senior brother, are you prepared to die?"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
"Heh, foolish! There's a huge gap between Universe Overlord Universe Overlord. Since you're courting death, don't blame me for granting your wish!"
After saying this, Tianyang Venerable immediately made his move, and a huge black shuttle appeared simultaneously from his eight palms.
"Let me see what you're capable of!"
Lu Qingshan gripped the Leiying Blade.
The two sides clashed instantly.
In a short time, the two had exchanged thousands of blows. Both were Universe Overlord, with a hundred times the genetic power and a hundred times the amplitude, so there was almost no difference between them. Tianyang Venerable's divine body had a slight advantage, while Lu Qingshan 'Supreme Treasure had a slight advantage. Neither of them had yet used any powerful secret techniques.
In an instant, a powerful burst of energy erupted from the icy pool.
It travels far away along the waters of the cold pool.
Tens of thousands of kilometers away, Venerable Kuxin, who had just escaped from Tianyang Venerable, and another Universe Venerable of the Banyanwood Race stopped in their tracks.
"That's the direction of Tianyang Venerable. That person just now was fighting with Tianyang Venerable!"
Venerable Kurong said in surprise.
The Universe Venerable was incredibly powerful. Although he had escaped, he had still seen that figure, that powerful human-like being. It seemed that when Tianyang Venerable attacked them, he had taken advantage of the situation and taken the Myriad Spirit Pearl from the Profound Ice Giant Softshell Turtle's body.
"That person—I know him—" A look of disbelief flashed in the eyes of Venerable Kuxin.
" Kuxin, do you know him? Could he be one of the overlords of the Hongmeng Alliance?"
Venerable Kurong asked in surprise.
To be able to fight against Tianchang Venerable like this, one must be at the level of a hegemon.
"If I'm not mistaken, that person is Lu Qingshan, a top genius of the Human Race Virtual Universe Company, known as the Myriad Laws Venerable. Tens of thousands of years ago, when he was still World Lord Level, he visited our Banyanwood Race, and I was the one who received him back then!"
The Venerable Kuxin's tone was equally incredulous.
He was a member of the Hongmeng Alliance and had even invested in Lu Qingshan in the past, so naturally he was interested in Lu Qingshan's development.
When King Rongku met Lu Qingshan at the Hongmeng Alliance back then, he was overjoyed for a long time.
Later, Lu Qingshan became the Myriad Laws Venerable and a high-ranking executive of the Virtual Universe Company. He admired his teacher's vision immensely. Back then, when Lu Qingshan was still World Lord Level, his teacher gave him the Banyanwood Race 'Banyanwood Race heirloom treasure Banyan Wood Divine Blade, as a generous gift.
Who could have imagined that in just tens of thousands of years, the other party would become Universe Venerable —and now he can even fight against Tianyang Venerable, so he must be at the level of Universe Overlord!
"Was he World Lord Level tens of thousands of years ago?"
Venerable Kurong thought he had misheard. World Lord tens of thousands of years ago, now Universe Overlord? What a joke!
"There's no mistake. You've been in seclusion all these years and don't know about this. When Lu Qingshan came to our Banyanwood Race, both Marquis Qingmu and King Rongku knew about it. Our Banyanwood Race's genius, Rong Xin, once conquered the 15th level of the Heart-Tempering Tower, overwhelming everyone. But this Myriad Laws Venerable, who was only at the World Lord Level at the time, cleared all the levels of our Heart-Tempering Tower!"
"I know about this. So that Human Race genius was actually him!"
Their exchange lasted only a moment.
Venerable Kurong's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said, " Myriad Laws Venerable is a top genius of the Human Race. If Tianyang Venerable cannot defeat him in a short time, he will definitely contact the Machine Race for support. We must pass this message on to the others in the Hongmeng Alliance."
"How could I not know? I have just sent the news to the other Universe Venerable of the Hongmeng Alliance who are exploring the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region. There aren't many Universe Venerable from our Hongmeng Alliance exploring the Myriad Spirit Cold Pool. I don't know if our support will arrive in time."
Venerable Kuxin looked in the direction of the battle and frowned slightly.
