The palace floor was covered with precious gems, which shimmered with iridescent light under the refraction of the light.
An alluring atmosphere permeated the entire palace.
On the throne, a woman dressed in a purple gauze robe reclined languidly, her purple eyes reflecting a dreamlike galaxy.
" Ji Qing, you've certainly made me, your teacher, look at you in a new light."
A seductive voice rang out.
Although the voice was gentle and devoid of any murderous intent, Ji Qing was so frightened that her face turned pale and she immediately knelt on the ground.
"Teacher, Hong and I are truly in love. We request an audience with you today and beg you to grant our wish."
"Give in to your request? Wouldn't that break my rules!"
A cold glint flashed in the Phantom Spirit King's purple eyes. She ignored the kneeling disciple and instead looked at Hong—
In that short time, she had already checked Hong's identity information.
Although Hong is also Lu Qingshan's disciple, he has not yet joined the Virtual Universe Company and is not known to the outside world, so his authority is far inferior to Luo Feng's.
"Your name is Hong, a disciple of Time Marquis? You have some nerve, tricking my disciple and still daring to come see me!"
Hong remained expressionless and said, "Lord Phantom Spirit King, Ji Qing and I are truly in love, and there has been no deception. Although I deeply respect Time Marquis, Time Marquis is not my teacher. Lord Phantom Spirit King, you are mistaken."
"Isn't Time Marquis your teacher?"
The Phantom Spirit King sneered.
She didn't think Hong was talking nonsense. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to say such things. She made this inference based on the information she had gathered. Over the years, Hong had been cultivating by Time Marquis's Time Marquis and had met many friends with him. There was indeed no detailed information to suggest that the two were master and disciple.
"You're not a disciple of the Time Marquis, yet you still have such confidence. Could it be that you have some other backing—heh—" The Phantom Spirit King chuckled. "However, no matter who your backing is, I will never agree to my disciple being with you. You should give up on that idea!"
Upon hearing this...
Ji Qing, kneeling to the side, was pale, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She knew it would be difficult to persuade the teacher, but she held onto a sliver of hope, which now seemed destined to be dashed.
Hong, however, remained calm and smiled as he said, "Lord Phantom Spirit King, my teacher is Myriad Laws Venerable."
"What!!"
The Phantom Spirit King sat up straight, a hint of shock flashing in her purple eyes. She could no longer remain calm and stared straight at Hong.
Do you know what the consequences would be of deceiving a Soul Master at the Peak King?
"Of course I know—even if I had the greatest courage, I wouldn't dare to randomly acknowledge a powerful Universe Venerable as my teacher. Myriad Laws Venerable is indeed my teacher, Time Marquis was the mentor arranged for me by my teacher. Now that my training with Time Marquis has ended, I'm about to enter the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company for cultivation. Therefore, before that, I want to solidify my relationship with Qing'er— "
We hope that Phantom Spirit King will grant our request.
The Phantom Spirit King kept his eyes fixed on Hong's.
Even in the Virtual Universe, it would be impossible for a mere Universe Level being to lie to her, a soul master at the Peak King.
The Phantom Spirit King concluded that Hong was not lying.
Unless this little guy's will is stronger than hers, and besides, if this is a lie, it will be exposed very quickly.
The Phantom Spirit King took a deep breath.
He fell into deep thought.
Because of past traumas, the Phantom Spirit King harbors a deep aversion to love, and therefore forbids her disciples from falling in love or marrying anyone.
Of course, this is a two-way selection process. Every disciple knows this before becoming her disciple. If they cannot accept it, they will not become her disciple. It is not that she is deliberately making things difficult for them.
Ji Qing was one of her more satisfactory disciples, and also her youngest disciple. Like many parents, teachers tend to show more favoritism towards their youngest disciples.
This time, Ji Qing disappointed her—yet not truly disappointed her.
" The Myriad Laws Venerable ----"
The Phantom Spirit King took a deep breath.
Thinking about the messages I've received recently.
The Demon Candle King was killed twice by the Venerable Zhen Yan. Not long ago, the Venerable Zhen Yan even killed the Demon Candle King directly on the Shi Huo Planet and fought with the Shi Huo Venerable, demonstrating extremely powerful strength among the Universe Venerable, as well as displaying powerful palace treasures.
The Myriad Laws Venerable is not only incredibly powerful, but also one of the strongest among the Universe Venerable. He also has two disciples with the combat power of Universe Venerable, and he is extremely generous to his disciples.
Back then, she had Ji Qing participate in the Genius Battle so that Ji Qing could join the ranks of Myriad Laws Venerable. Perhaps Myriad Laws Venerable could take better care of Ji Qing out of consideration for their shared Ganwu Universe Country, and there might be a sliver of a chance for him to take Ji Qing as his disciple.
In that case, she, as the teacher, could also benefit from it.
However, the intensity of that Genius Battle exceeded her expectations. Ji Qing was eliminated and failed to enter the top 1,000 in the universe, thus losing her qualification to join the Virtual Universe Company.
But now, Ji Qing's lover is a disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable.
The entire hall fell silent.
Ji Qing kept her head down, glancing at Hong out of the corner of her eye.
A hint of expectation appeared in his eyes.
She hadn't known what Hong had just said before, so it seemed that was the source of Hong's confidence in coming to see his teacher.
I don't know what the teacher's decision will be.
Ji Qing felt extremely uneasy.
After a long while, the Phantom Spirit King slowly rose from her throne, looked at Hong, and asked.
"Hong, are you willing to marry Ji Qing immediately?"
A hint of joy flashed in Hong's eyes, and he decisively replied, "Lord Phantom Spirit King, this junior is willing."
"Then go to the Ji Family to propose marriage. If you marry Ji Qing into the family within three years, I will not object."
Although Hong seemed calm and reliable, the Phantom Spirit King was still worried that Hong would abandon Ji Qing in the future, which is why he set this time.
Once married, Hong cannot easily abandon his wife, as many powerful figures value the character of their disciples.
"Okay, I'll go to the Ji Family right away."
Hong nodded.
"Thank you so much, teacher." Ji Qing was also very excited and quickly expressed her gratitude.
"No need to thank me. In my opinion, I would still strongly disagree with the two of you being together. However, considering Myriad Laws Venerable, I have made an exception this time, but only this once. You may leave!"
The Phantom Spirit King waved his hand, as if he had lost all his strength.
"Teacher, this disciple takes his leave."
"This junior takes his leave."
Hong and Ji Qing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy, and then they turned and walked towards the door.
Outside the main hall, many disciples of the Phantom Spirit King gathered. Many disciples who were unaware of the news before arrived in the Virtual Universe after receiving the message.
"Junior Sister is probably in big trouble."
"Yes, that's taboo for the teacher; the teacher would never allow it."
"I wonder if that guy who ran off with the junior sister can withstand the teacher's wrath."
"He's just a kid of Universe Level. One word from the teacher and he's probably too scared to go near his junior sister again."
"It's all thanks to the teacher's kindness that I was spared."
A group of people chatted idly, eager to know what would happen next.
However, they were soon astonished.
Because they saw Ji Qing and the man in black come out again, still holding hands, their faces full of joy.
Everyone wore expressions of disbelief.
The junior sister and that man both saw the teacher, so why is this happening? Shouldn't the man have been terrified and fled, while the woman was held captive and wept bitterly?
A group of disciples gathered around.
"Junior Sister, did you see Teacher just now?"
"I've seen him."
"Teacher—what did the teacher say?"
"Our teacher has agreed to our relationship and wants Hong to marry me within three years. Dear fellow students, Hong and I still need to return to the Ji Family to discuss the wedding arrangements. Once the date is set, we will definitely inform you all."
Ji Qing introduced the senior brothers and sisters, and then left with Hong.
After they left.
The others still looked on incredulously.
"The teacher actually agreed."
"Incredible."
"Has the teacher changed his mind? Junior sister is so lucky!"
" Cui Yu, what are you doing? Do you also want to—"
Suddenly, a pretty woman walked towards the main hall.
Upon entering the palace, she knelt down with a thud.
"Teacher, I also have a lover I truly love. Please grant my wish."
The Phantom Spirit King couldn't help but laugh.
" Cui Yu, could it be that your lover is also a personal disciple of some Universe Venerable?"
"Teacher—no—no, my lover is merely a disciple of an Immortal Army Lord. He was born into poverty, but he works extremely hard and also has the potential to become Immortal God."
The woman looked somewhat bewildered and quickly said...
"Born into poverty, yet incredibly hardworking—truly a template for a scumbag, huh? Heh heh heh—" The Phantom Spirit King's voice was icy cold as he continued, "Immediately sever all ties with this person. If I discover you're still in contact with him, you will no longer be my disciple."
"Teacher—" Cui Yu's face turned pale, incredulous.
It turns out the teacher hasn't changed at all!
Virtual Universe Company, Headquarters Continent.
In reality, only half a year had passed, but in the Time House, five hundred years had passed.
Luo slowly opened her eyes.
--
His eyes were filled with excitement.
" Myriad Laws Venerable, Luo has broken through the bottleneck, Law Comprehension has successfully broken through to the Initial King."
"Well, it went fairly smoothly."
Lu Qingshan's Divine Power Avatar nodded slightly, then took the Blood Soul Pearl from Luo's body and tossed him a World Ring.
"Inside are some auxiliary treasures for evolving your divine body, which can help you quickly reconstruct your divine body and become a true King-level Immortal God."
"Many thanks to Myriad Laws Venerable for the gift."
Luo bowed respectfully and put the treasure away.
This item might be insignificant to Myriad Laws Venerable, but it is extremely precious to him, allowing him to quickly enter the realm of King-level Immortal God.
Law Comprehension, the conversion of divine power still requires a process. After all, this is not like a breakthrough to a higher realm, which can be completed instantly with the assistance of the Sea of Laws.
Luo then cultivated in the Time House for another five hundred years. With the help of the treasures bestowed by the Myriad Laws Venerable, his divine body successfully transformed, and he has truly entered the initial stage of the Initial King realm.
Although he was only at the Initial King, he possessed Gene Multiplier of six times, which is equivalent to 60,000 times the World Lord Power, surpassing most advanced High King.
The title of Time Marquis is now a thing of the past; his title has now become Time King.
After becoming King Rank, Luo bid farewell to Myriad Laws Venerable and immediately contacted his teacher.
He composed an email and sent it to his teacher's inbox.
"Master, I have lived up to your expectations and successfully broken through to the King Rank Realm. May I have the opportunity to see you again?"
After the email was sent successfully, Luo waited for a moment, expecting it to disappear without a trace, just like before. However—this time, he received a reply email.
