Virtual Universe, Thunder Mountain.
Inside the city lord's mansion.
The Golden Axe Venerable stepped in and bowed to the two people in the courtyard.
"Greetings, teacher. Greetings, second senior brother."
" Golden Axe, we rarely see you here."
Wearing a long red robe, with a gentle face and eyes as calm as a lake Venerable Guiyi smiled and spoke.
The Chaos City Lord turned around and asked, " Golden Axe, what brings you here today?"
"Teacher—" Golden Axe Venerable, the ninth disciple of the Chaos City Lord, still held his teacher in high esteem. He said, "A year ago, I was invited by Myriad Laws Venerable to guide his disciple Luo Feng in cultivating the Seven Kills of the Beast God."
"Oh."
The Chaos City Lord was somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingshan so quickly guided his disciple, who was still at the Domain Lord Level level, into the Path of the Beast God, and even invited Golden Axe Venerable to be his mentor.
" Golden Axe, when did you meet Myriad Laws Venerable?" Venerable Guiyi asked with a smile.
"Third senior brother, teacher—I did not know Myriad Laws Venerable before, but I had heard of his illustrious reputation."
The Myriad Laws Venerable found his disciple and gave him a superior-grade Myriad Spirit Pearl, only then did the disciple agree to guide his disciple Luo Feng. But before guiding him, the disciple didn't know that Luo Feng's talent was truly astonishing—it was simply unparalleled in his life. The First Layer of the Seven Kills of the Beast God, the Scale Armor Chapter, which had taken him a thousand years to master, was something Luo Feng had grasped in just one year. This Luo Feng was simply a top-tier genius on the Gold-Space Path of Fusion.
Golden Axe Venerable let out a breath, seemingly still trying to calm himself down, and then he continued.
"Taking advantage of the opportunity to guide him, I also tested Luo Feng on some issues related to the Law of Space. I didn't expect that Luo Feng's comprehension of the Law of Space is also extremely strong. I can guarantee that even if he simply follows the path of the Law of Space, Luo Feng has a great chance to become Universe Venerable along the path of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele!"
Upon hearing what Golden Axe Venerable said, Venerable Guiyi to the side, showed a surprised expression.
Although the Chaos City Lord was somewhat surprised, his expression did not change. As one of the two best performers in this year's Genius Battle and also a disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable, he had naturally paid attention to Luo Feng.
However, he had not directly interacted with Luo Feng, so his understanding of Luo Feng was not as good as that of Golden Axe Venerable, and his evaluation of Luo Feng was not as exaggerated as Golden Axe Venerable's words.
Venerable Guiyi sighed, "Since Myriad Laws Venerable, geniuses have been born one after another in our Virtual Universe Company. Before, there was Ling Yu, and now there is Luo Feng —and there are also Bolan, Rong Jun, Wuka. Although they are not quite there yet, they still have the hope of becoming Universe Venerable. We have also seen the birth of two Universe Venerable, Longjing Venerable and Venerable Zhen Yan. It seems that our Virtual Universe Company has entered a prosperous era."
"If you look closely, you'll find that all of this is actually related to Venerable Lu Qingshan of the Myriad Laws Venerable." The Chaos City Lord smiled slightly, looked at Golden Axe Venerable, and said, "What are your thoughts on this?"
The Golden Axe Venerable said with a smile, "This disciple's idea is very simple. This disciple believes that Luo Feng's talent completely exceeds the master's standards for accepting disciples. Why not let my second senior brother and I have another junior brother?"
"You've discovered a genius, come find me immediately. You do seem to care about me." The Chaos City Lord smiled slightly. He believed that his disciple wouldn't deceive him. It must be that Luo Feng's performance was too extraordinary for him to have such an idea. According to the Golden Axe Venerable's description, Luo Feng's talent had indeed met his standards for accepting disciples, and he was no different from Kedi.
"But Luo Feng is already a disciple of Myriad Laws Venerable, and it was only through Myriad Laws Venerable's tutelage that he achieved his current talent—it was somewhat acceptable that I took Ling Yu as my personal disciple first, but Luo Feng —if I were to take him as a disciple as well, wouldn't I be stealing two of Myriad Laws Venerable's disciples?"
The Chaos City Lord shook his head.
Golden Axe Venerable and Venerable Guiyi might not understand, because they didn't know Lu Qingshan's true strength. Two of the Top Universe Overlord' Clone, one whose strength even surpassed that of ordinary Top Universe Overlord, and who held a high position in the Ancestral God Religion Sect. It could be said that in the heart of the Chaos City Lord, Lu Qingshan's status had already surpassed that of the other three Top Universe Overlord of the Human Race, and was comparable to that of the Universe Master.
Ling Yu's actions weren't really a matter of stealing. When he took on disciples, Ling Yu was a personal disciple of Spirit Charm King, and even his previous teacher was Marquis Silvermoon. Lu Qingshan was just Ling Yu's mentor at the time.
Luo Feng, however, was discovered by Myriad Laws Venerable from beginning to end. He was also a disciple of Genius Battle Wanfa and was trained by Myriad Laws Venerable before he showed such powerful talent.
"Teacher!"
Golden Axe Venerable was somewhat anxious.
" The Myriad Laws Venerable is indeed powerful, comparable to the Tian Shi Palace Master and the Ancestor Tree Venerable, but he is not the Universe Master after all—there is still a huge gap in status between him and our teacher. Even if our teacher takes on a disciple, it will not affect the master-disciple relationship between the two."
Venerable Guiyi suggested, "Why don't you ask Myriad Laws Venerable for his advice?"
The Chaos City Lord pondered for a moment, but did not answer—he had not yet made a decision.
If Luo Feng weren't a disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable, he would definitely have taken him as a disciple given his talent. But now, he was in a dilemma.
Right now.
A figure appeared.
Venerable Guiyi and Golden Axe Venerable immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing this wild figure.
"I have met the Giant Axe Founder."
The Giant Axe Founder nodded, then ignored the two and looked at the Chaos City Lord.
" Chaos, I just sensed that someone in the Primal Universe used the power of Wonder, it should be in that Myriad Spirit Mystic Region— "
" Wonder?"
The Chaos City Lord revealed a serious expression.
His true form had been wandering in the Universe Ocean for a long time, so he naturally understood what the Wonder represented.
"Who has the audacity to bring such Wonder into the Primal Universe, and then dare to use Wonder in battle?"
Could it be that some solitary Universe Master is unaware of the secret?
"Um."
The Chaos City Lord was astonished.
He immediately searched for information about the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region.
In just a moment, he absorbed a flood of information like snowflakes. The shock in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord did not dissipate; instead, it intensified.
" Chaos, what's going on? Who used this Wonder? Has our Human Race's Universe Venerable been harmed?"
"The Giant Axe Founder asked."
The Human Alliance's core intelligence department is personally controlled by the Chaos City Lord, which is why the Giant Axe Founder came here first—it was much faster than if he had the Giant Axe Arena investigate.
"Based on the information I've received, the one who used this Wonder this time should be the Venerable Xue You of the Ancestral God Religion— "
" Venerable Xue You ----"
The Giant Axe Founder was astonished.
Isn't this Venerable Xue You Lu Qingshan?
The Giant Axe Founder noticed that both of the Chaos City Lord's disciples were there, and only then did he understand why the Chaos City Lord had said that.
Chaos only told him the news, keeping it from even his own disciples.
Since the Chaos City Lord had said this, the Giant Axe Founder naturally wouldn't expose him. He asked, "Isn't Venerable Xue You Core Member of the Ancestral God Religion? How could he possess Wonder, and even use it?"
The Chaos City Lord replied, "If my guess is correct, someone must have hidden the Wonder within the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region. The Ancestral God Religion issued a mission to Venerable Xue You to handle this matter— Venerable Kuxin and Venerable Kurong, who were exploring the Myriad Universe Venerable Myriad Spirit Mountain Range with our Hongmeng Alliance, both overheard that Venerable Xue You said he was carrying out a mission from the Ancestral God Religion Sect—but for some reason, during this process, the Demon Race Clan's Lord of Sky Wolf suddenly attacked Venerable Xue You— "
The Chaos City Lord received the information while summarizing and narrating it.
" The Lord of Sky Wolf must have attacked the Venerable Xue You because of the death of his disciple, Venerable Tianhua —the two engaged in a fierce battle in the Myriad Spirit Mountain Range, completely erasing everything within billions of kilometers. Afterwards—the Venerable Xue You produced Wonder — the Lord of Sky Wolf fled in a sorry state, pursued by the Venerable Xue You for hundreds of millions of kilometers, before the two disappeared."
"I never expected that this Wonder would be in the hands of the Ancestral God Religion."
The Giant Axe Founder suppressed his surprise.
There's also a slight sense of regret.
A Wonder, in the hands of the Universe Master, wielded power comparable to the Supreme Supreme Treasure —still extremely precious to the Human Race. Although he had no use for it, if given to the Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Chaos City Lord's strength would be enhanced once again, perhaps even having the chance to possess the power of the Level 6.
However, in the hands of the Ancestral God Religion, the Wonder became completely meaningless.
The Ancestral God Religion helps the Primal Universe with tasks and handles Wonder. To steal Wonder from the Ancestral God Religion is to violate the rules of the Primal Universe, which would be abhorred by the Primal Universe and would be a disaster for the Human Race. Only a few lone wolves would dare to do such a thing.
" The Lord of Sky Wolf, as a veteran Universe Master, although not strong, should have many tricks up his sleeve. I didn't expect him to be beaten so badly by Venerable Xue You, a mere Universe Venerable. Even with Wonder, it would be difficult to do that."
The Giant Axe Founder sighed.
"It is indeed difficult. Even Top Universe Overlord, despite possessing Wonder Wonder and being able to perfectly unleash their power, cannot inflict significant damage on Universe Master due to the vast difference in their fundamental strength. Moreover, the opponent is the Lord of Sky Wolf. The fact that the Venerable Xue You of the Ancestral God Religion could do this indicates that his own strength is already comparable to Second-Tier Universe Master, only slightly weaker than the Lord of Sky Wolf. Only in this way can one rely on Wonder to fight beyond their level."
"A Universe Venerable, yet possessing the power of Second-Tier Universe Master, and able to unleash abilities exceeding those of Level 3 through Wonder —after this battle, this Venerable Xue You can be considered famous throughout the Primal Universe. Based on this achievement, he is worthy of being called the number one genius of the Primal Universe!"
The Giant Axe Founder praised him generously, revealing a slight smile.
He was in a good mood.
Because this first genius belongs to their Human Race!
" Chaos," the Giant Axe Founder continued, "Over the next six months, I will resurrect all those on the list of those in the race who need to be resurrected. After that, I plan to go to the Universe Ocean, and this time it will likely take a long time before I return."
"A long time?" The Chaos City Lord frowned slightly. The "long time" of the Giant Axe Founder was not the same as the "long time" of others.
That could be tens of millions of epochs, or even hundreds of millions of epochs.
"Well, although I didn't gain anything from my last expedition, I did obtain a fragment of a map of the Inner Domain of Tilted Peak Realm. This time, I plan to go and take a look—it's a place that our Human Race has never explored before. The probability of finding treasures in such unknown places is higher, and perhaps I'll have a chance to obtain a Supreme Supreme Treasure."
The Giant Axe Founder said with a smile.
The Chaos City Lord's expression was serious. " Giant Axe, be careful. The Human Race can't do without you."
I'll be careful.
The Giant Axe Founder nodded. He was not afraid of death, but he knew he could not die. If he died, the Human Race would be doomed.
Therefore, even when exploring the Universe Ocean over the years, he rarely went to extremely dangerous places. With his strength, he faced no danger in most parts of the Universe Ocean.
But risks and rewards are often proportional; he lacked the courage to take the plunge, and thus never obtained the Supreme Supreme Treasure.
After saying this, the Giant Axe Founder turned and disappeared.
After he left, the Chaos City Lord turned to his two disciples and said, "Let's drop the matter of taking Luo Feng as a disciple. Myriad Laws Venerable's methods of training disciples are already first-rate, so there's no need for such a fuss. As long as Luo Feng is a member of the Human Race, no matter whose disciple he is, once he grows up, he will be a force for our Human Race."
Before his two disciples could speak, he turned to Golden Axe Venerable and continued, "You should nurture Luo Feng well from now on—spend more energy and time guiding him; it might benefit you in the future."
"Disciple understands."
Although the Golden Axe Venerable was somewhat disappointed, he still nodded and responded.
The Venerable Guiyi was standing to the side, remained silent. Clearly, the news brought by the Giant Axe Founder had left him unable to calm down.
Universe Venerable comparable to Second-Tier Universe Master —forcing the Lord of Sky Wolf to flee in disarray—is that Venerable Xue You even human?
