Chapter 168, The Mountain Peak
The fact that the renowned special life form, the Tengyu, on the original planet was an avatar of Mu Xuan, the genius world lord of humanity back then, was known not only to the powerful members of the Hong Alliance, but also to the major forces in the universe within just one day.
The three powerful clans who had originally planned to assassinate Ye Muxuan were dumbfounded.
In the last few hundred thousand years, after leaving Chaos City, the genius Realm Lord Mu Xuan only made a fleeting appearance on the extraterritorial battlefield. Before the assassination team could even make a decision, he returned to Chaos City. Unexpectedly, he quietly became an Immortal and sent an avatar to travel all over the Primal Star.
But this isn't just a few hundred thousand years; it's only been a blink of an eye. How did he become a Venerable? And a Venerable with a clone of the Jadeite? Doesn't that mean even the Lord of the Universe might not be able to succeed? The Jadeite's innate secret techniques are simply too unsolvable!
Judging from the few encounters that Hanzhe had with the Primordial Star, his opponents were all cosmic overlords, and one of them was even a top-tier cosmic overlord. Besides the Xuanhuang Domain, this overlord undoubtedly possessed a high-grade supreme treasure armor, which, combined with Hanzhe's innate secret techniques, was comparable to a top-tier supreme treasure. If he also possessed a high-grade palace-level supreme treasure, even a cosmic overlord wouldn't be able to kill him in a short time!
Given such a genius, it's hard to say whether the human race would bestow upon him a palace treasure from the perspective of the race.
What's even more perplexing is that the Zhuanxue have no souls, making it impossible for them to enslave them. In other words, as long as Mu Xuan's main body stays in Chaos City, the Zhuanxue clones can roam freely outside without any problem—this is a different kind of immortality!
Even Nightmark King, who had been ranked number one for millions of years, wasn't this outrageous!
For a moment, the decision-makers of the three races were at a loss: to kill or not to kill?
……
Leaving aside the fact that the decision-making bodies of the three alien races were in a state of chaos, King Longyu had been in high spirits for the past half month. His energy and spirit had improved significantly, and even his comprehension of the laws had become smoother. Areas that were previously unclear were now crystal clear, and he understood everything King Qinglian explained immediately. Over the past half month, all the Kings and Venerables in the Hong Alliance knew one thing: this King-level high-ranking immortal god, King Longyu, was the only openly acknowledged follower of Venerable Shadow Blade!
He joined Shadow Blade Master's ranks when he was still Shadow Blade King.
Just for that insight and that affection, even a Venerable One would have to bow down to him! Besides, with the guidance of the Shadow Blade Venerable, it's not impossible for the Jade King to become a Venerable One.
There were some kings in the Hong Alliance who had designs on her for some reason, but they disappeared without a trace at this time.
At a bar in the outer city of Hongmeng, with Longyu King, Zhenyan King, and Tongnan King at the core, many kings were drinking and chatting. Often, the conversation would turn to the newly promoted Venerable, Shadow Blade Venerable.
For an avatar at the Immortal Realm to venture into the Primordial Star is something most High-Level Venerables cannot do. Even the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, a veteran High-Level Venerable, perished there. Even the Niu Zhou Venerable dared not go, yet the Shadow Blade King did.
Now, Venerable Yicheng is recognized by those overlords as a top-tier cosmic overlord, whose deterrent power is subtly above that of the current Palace Master Baifeng, and is comparable to the three: Palace Master Tianshi, Venerable Zushu, and Star Prison Demon Lord.
Moreover, the initial information was that Shan Jun had obtained a Netherworld Sword Seal. Now that I think about it, Shan Jun was not only a member of the Hong Alliance, but also a direct descendant of the human race! With the help of the Netherworld Sword Seal, the Giant Axe had made a fortune in the Netherworld Palace, so how could he not be willing to give the Shadow Blade Venerable a reward?
Fortunately, King Mingyu, the teacher of King Zhenyan, King Tongnan, and King Longyu, was not so easily swayed. They all advised King Longyu to stay calm and not to go against the ideas of his superior, Ye Muxuan.
So although Longyu Wang was feeling elated, he didn't actually float away. Tongnan Wang pulled on the string and landed safely.
……
Virtual universe, Thunder Island, mountain peak.
After Ye Muxuan became a Universe Venerable, the Chaos City Lord and the Giant Axe Founder naturally knew his strength. Therefore, the Giant Axe Founder did not need to pay attention to him. The Chaos City Lord directly placed Ye Muxuan's palace in a position second only to the mountain peak, only a line away from the highest peak.
Ye Muxuan's consciousness connected to the virtual universe. When he came out of the magnificent palace, he saw the location of his palace, as well as the other three palaces.
Next to his palace was the enormous palace of his teacher, Palace Master Bai Feng. Two other palaces were hidden deep in the clouds, with only a few eaves visible. But Ye Muxuan knew that those were the palaces of Palace Master Tian Shi and Palace Master Xing Yu Mo Zhu.
Outside the palace, there was a railing. Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, rested his hands on the railing, looking down at the densely packed palaces below.
At the foot of the mountain are the palaces of many immortal gods, ranging from military lords to marquises and kings. They are located at the bottom, layer by layer. For example, the palace of Luo Qianwang, who is invincible as a king, is already close to the mountainside.
Halfway up the mountain were the palaces of the Venerables, such as the Niu Zhou Venerable, the Qian Wu Kingdom Lord, and the Blood Wing Venerable, whom Ye Muxuan was familiar with. Although the palaces were scattered in an orderly fashion, they were all there. However, the palaces of the cosmic overlords such as the Emperor Sea Venerable and the Gui Yi Venerable were extremely close to his current location.
At the mountain peak, as far as the eye could see, only five palaces lay faintly nestled within the chaotic currents of energy. For countless eons, that place had been home to the Virtual Universe Company, and now its five core members represented the company's highest echelons!
This is the foundation of Virtual Universe Corporation. Even as a single entity, it is a very powerful force in the entire universe. Many powerful races combined their full strength cannot match the power of Virtual Universe Corporation.
He naturally knew who the owners of those five palaces were—the five true overlords of the Virtual Universe Company, and he himself was still quite far from being one of them. Perhaps only when his Li Yan clone had cultivated perfect genes and obtained the strongest talent secret technique would he be able to contend with the weakest of the five.
However, that's difficult, and it's a long way off.
Just as he was feeling sentimental, a woman in purple robes walked out of the palace next to him. She was none other than Bai Feng, Ye Muxuan's teacher.
"I didn't expect that Little Nineteen would be at the same level as me so quickly. I originally thought that this position would belong to Little Seventeen, or Sixth Brother, or even Third Brother." Palace Master Bai Feng walked to Ye Muxuan's palace, came to his side, followed his gaze to the mountain peak, and said, "Perhaps you will reach that position even before your teacher."
"Teacher." Ye Muxuan bowed to Palace Master Bai Feng.
"So? What do you think of those five positions?" Palace Master Bai Feng smiled as she looked at her youngest disciple, who was also her most prized disciple to date.
The fact that both master and disciple are top-tier cosmic overlords is a well-known story among the many powerful beings in the universe.
"We'll get up there sooner or later." Ye Muxuan's gaze was calm, but the Palace Master Bai Feng saw a firmness and longing in it, as well as unparalleled confidence.
He has the right to be confident that he can become a top-tier cosmic overlord after cultivating for 500,000 years!
