Chapter 148, The Nine Sword Kings
In the primordial secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company, the ocean of laws poured forth, and anyone with discerning eyes could see that yet another realm lord had stepped into immortality.
Under the cover of the Thousand Treasures River, a silver-haired man with graying temples looked at the man pouring down from the ocean of laws, his expression blank.
However, the Chaos City Lord, who was from the same sect as him and had been through countless eras, still noticed a slight emotional fluctuation in him.
Are you tempted?
The silver-haired man with graying temples shook his head upon hearing this.
"He has performed very well on the battlefields outside the realms over the years. He successfully became a Marquis at the Realm Lord level, and now that he has entered the Immortal realm, he will be a High-level King. He has a great chance of becoming a Venerable in the future." The Chaos City Lord spoke, praising him highly. "Although he is not as good as Youhou, he still has a chance to catch up with Jin Fu and Guiyi."
Over the past tens of thousands of years, Yun Ming has performed exceptionally well on the battlefield outside the realm. As a realm lord, he killed a high-ranking military leader of an alien race and obtained the title of Nine Swords Marquis. Some time ago, he even passed the nineteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven. Now, upon entering the Immortal realm, he was directly granted the title of King and should now be called the Nine Swords King.
His outstanding performance even caught the attention of the cosmic overlord, the Netherworld Venerable, who guarded the battlefield outside the domain. After observing him for a period of time, the Netherworld Venerable decisively accepted him as a disciple. Yun Ming and his immortal teacher were also very happy that he could gain the favor of the Netherworld Venerable and finally become his disciple.
Now, this genius who has successfully entered the Immortal realm and been directly crowned a King after only a hundred thousand years of cultivation has become a disciple of the Netherworld Venerable. It is almost foreseeable that his probability of becoming a Venerable in the future will exceed 10%, and he may even reach the level of a High Venerable!
While the Netherworld Venerable is not as powerful as the White Phoenix Palace Master, possessing only the strength of a normal cosmic overlord, her bloodthirstiness surpasses hers. Even her divine body has been transformed into a form more suited for slaughter due to her cultivation of a self-created secret technique. She is a legend of slaughter within the Virtual Universe Company, with dozens of disciples including one high-level Venerable, one mid-level Venerable, and the remaining dozen or so are all Immortals.
Even among the twenty-odd disciples of the Chaos City Lord, not all of them were high-level Venerables; quite a few were even mid-level Venerables or Kings.
"No need." The silver-haired man with graying temples rarely spoke. "We'll talk about it after Bing Mu becomes a Venerable."
Whenever a peerless genius emerges, appearing only once every tens of millions of epochs, the human race's universe lords would take them all as disciples. These geniuses, barring any eventuality, would almost certainly become kings, with most reaching the peak of the kingly realm, and nearly a third even having the chance to become venerables.
Ice King was the youngest disciple the silver-haired man took in tens of thousands of epochs ago. He was extremely talented and was currently stuck at the limit of becoming a King. He was also the only immortal god among the dozen or so disciples under his tutelage.
……
In the residence of the True King of Chaos City.
True King Yan, King Tong Nan, and King Long Yu were all here. After learning that Yun Ming had entered the Immortal realm and was directly granted the title of High-Rank King, the three of them gathered together and chatted.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and Longyu Wang is now barely considered a high-ranking king, not even counting the powerful sword. Without the sword, she would still find it difficult to pass the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge; it would take her at least tens of thousands of years.
In the past, she would have been overjoyed to have risen from a high-ranking marquis to a high-ranking king in just over 100,000 years. But now, compared to that, it seemed far from enough.
Tens of thousands of years ago, You Yu entered the Immortal Realm and was directly crowned a King. Although she is still only a beginner King now, Yun Ming has directly reached the advanced King level and passed the nineteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven faster than her. The difference in talent is truly despair-inducing!
"Actually, your progress over the years has surpassed what you used to be; it's really not slow." King Tongnan, with his eyes closed, "looked" at King Longyu beside him and spoke slowly.
With the help of Qinglian King, Longyu King's level of understanding of the laws has improved rapidly over the years, but even so, it can't keep up with these unreasonable geniuses.
"However, Yun Ming's progress is really fast. I estimate he will catch up with us soon." Zhen Yanwang scratched his golden beard. The fact that Youmo Venerable had taken Yun Ming as his disciple was not a secret among the strong. At least Zhen Yanwang and the others knew about it. "Blind man, I've decided. I'm going to try another path."
"Another path...you mean the path of the Beast God?" King Tong Nan suddenly turned his head, and King Long Yu could sense the surprise in his calm tone.
The Way of Spacetime is the ultimate path cultivated by the vast majority of powerful beings in the universe, while only a very small minority follow the Way of the Beast God. Among the human race, there are naturally some who follow the Way of the Beast God, as it is indeed a path, and the one who has achieved the highest level so far is the Star Prison Demon Lord. However, even the Star Prison Demon Lord has not reached the level of transforming into a Beast God on this path, and currently remains at the level of a top-tier cosmic overlord.
"I feel like I'll be stuck on the path of space for a long time. I trust my intuition, so I want to try that path." King Zhenyan said, his expression no longer showing the previous violence, but rather some calmness, clearly indicating that he had been considering this idea for a long time.
"The Beast God Inheritance Token is very difficult to obtain." King Tongnan hesitated before finally speaking.
"Then I'll cultivate the secret technique first, then enter the Inheritance Hall and spend hundreds of billions or even trillions to see if I have the talent for the Path of the Beast God. If I do have this talent, my teacher will help me apply for an Inheritance Token!"
Whether it's cultivating the secret techniques of the Beast God's Path or entering the Divine General's Inheritance Hall to receive the inheritance like Ye Muxuan, it doesn't truly count as walking the Beast God's Path. It's merely cultivating an auxiliary secret technique, similar to changing a weapon or armor—just a difference in method. Without the Beast God's Inheritance Token to enter the Ancestral God Sect and receive the inheritance, it doesn't count as truly walking the Beast God's Path.
The distribution of the Beast God Inheritance Token is strictly controlled within the clan. Unless you are lucky enough to obtain one in the vast universe, only truly peerless geniuses and geniuses with outstanding talent in the Path of the Beast God can obtain one.
"Furthermore, I've asked my teacher and the Holy Lord, and they said the suitable Hall of Inheritance for me will open in 30,000 years. I'd like to buy a spot and give it a try."
"Alright." King Tongnan nodded slowly, his closed eyes "looking" at King Zhenyan, and said, "If you don't have enough money, I have more than 10 billion here, which I can give you anytime."
A single inheritance slot is worth tens of billions. As for connections, naturally, the True King's teacher, the Holy Lord of the Ape Clan, and even Venerable Wu Tang would step in to help. It's quite possible that the three Venerables could purchase a slot. However, the money shouldn't come from the Venerables. The True King is now at the limit of his King-level strength, so he should pay for it himself.
Even at the peak of the King-level realm, who carries hundreds of billions in cash? Most of it is converted into secret techniques, weapons, armor, spaceships, auxiliary plants, and other things that enhance strength. Therefore, even King Tongnan, a peak King-level expert, only had a little over ten billion in cash left.
"If that's not enough, I also have over six billion Chaos Units here," said Longyu Wang, who was sitting to the side.
After returning from the battlefield outside the domain, she stayed in Chaos City, focusing on comprehending the laws. The precious treasures that Qinglian King used to restore his divine body were all prepared in advance by Ye Muxuan. Although she had already used some of them, there were not many places to spend money—or rather, she really couldn't afford treasures like Ziqing Dew that could be bought with money—and she still had more than six billion in cash left.
"If needed, I won't hesitate." King Zhenyan raised his wine cup and took a big gulp, thoroughly enjoying the wine.
