"These 136 stars are all artificial planets created by the Virtual Universe Company at a high cost. They are their own spacetime, and even a cosmic sovereign cannot force his way in."
"It's awesome!"
Lu Yunhe nodded. It could block a Universe Venerable, but it was still not as safe as the Primordial Universe, which even the strongest beings in the universe dared not approach.
The spaceship continued forward and soon flew into the Wuchen space-time.
Lu Yunhe also saw the dazzling continent located at the core of the Wuchen spacetime. On this vast, floating continent, there were exquisite palace complexes.
"This is the 'Wuchen Continent'!" the blue-robed immortal smiled. The spaceship then flew over an exquisite palace, which was Lu Yunhe's Manor No. 114.
After delivering Lu Yunhe to his destination, the spaceship departed again and headed towards Bolan's manor.
"Greetings to Your Highness!"
Having received the message long ago, Cohen Immortal, accompanied by the guards of the Primal Secret Realm, respectfully greeted Lu Yunhe as he descended from mid-air.
"It's so good to see you again, Cohen!"
Lu Yunhe landed in front of the group with a smile on his face, and Cohen and the others slowly stood up.
……
"It's a pity the teacher isn't here!"
Seeing these somewhat familiar faces made Lu Yunhe quite happy, after all, they had spent three years together on the spaceship. The only regret was that King Xiyue was still in the secret realm, and they could only meet in the virtual universe.
After Lu Yunhe arrived, Cohen Immortal personally showed him around the entire manor, allowing him to familiarize himself with his territory.
On this continent of Wuchen, the manor covers an area of nearly one million square kilometers and is his territory. His guard is composed of immortal gods led by Immortal Cohen, plus 10 world lords, 100 domain lords, and 1000 universe-level beings.
Furthermore, the guards prepared by the Virtual Universe Company for the members of the Primal Secret Realm are of very high quality. The Realm Lords in the guards are all at the peak of the Realm Lord level and have been recognized by the Origin Law.
In addition, to highlight the vitality of the manor, tens of thousands of servants manage and maintain the entire territory.
Although they were servants, they had virtually no interaction with the manor owner except for the first time he visited.
Putting aside the issue of identity, the incredibly dense cosmic primordial energy within the entire secret realm, so dense that it materialized into crystalline particles, undoubtedly makes it an ideal place for cultivation.
After all, these servants don't have the status of members of the virtual universe secret realm, so they can directly apply for nutrient tanks and skip the energy accumulation from the first to the ninth level.
"Dracion, apply for a nutrient pod for me!"
After the thirty years in Chaos City ended, Lu Yunhe's virtual permissions increased significantly. A new "Backend Management" option appeared on his virtual backend, with three options on the page: "Life," "Learning," and "Cultivation."
The "Life" options include "Star Map", "Food", "Nutrition Capsule", "Dwelling", "Spaceship"...
The "Learning" option includes theoretical learning from lectures by immortals and even cosmic venerables, as well as theoretical practice of the "Bridge to Heaven," "Immortal Altar," and "Sea of Illusions."
As for the final cultivation...
At this moment, a beautiful woman with blue hair dressed in a white robe appeared on the screen and smiled, saying, "Hello, Your Highness Lu Yunhe, the nutrient tank you requested will be delivered to your residence within one day."
Although it was said to be a day, the nutrient solution in the primitive area had actually been prepared long ago. Not long after, a spaceship landed on the manor.
"Your Highness Lu Yunhe, only one-tenth of the precious nutrient solution stored in this nutrient capsule is enough to help a first-tier cosmic-level cultivator advance to the ninth tier," the delivery man in white robes said respectfully. "Because of your status in the Primal Secret Realm, we have prepared more."
"Thank you!"
Lu Yunhe nodded, understanding the meaning of this extra preparation. However, he felt a bit awkward, as the number of clones and the genetic level made the tenfold nutrient solution seem incredibly embarrassing.
After the deliveryman left, Delacion opened the nutrient tank lid, revealing a pale purple liquid that filled about half of the tank's volume. An invisible chill permeated the air, making the nutrient solution appear extremely cold.
"Freezing fluid!" Lu Yunhe stripped naked and lay down inside. The cold, pale purple nutrient solution enveloped his entire body, and the strange substance began to seep into his body through his skin, penetrating his muscles, bones, membranes, and internal organs...
His entire body, inside and out, was changing at an astonishing speed. It would normally take an ordinary person hundreds or thousands of years to go from the first to the ninth level of the cosmic level, but the Virtual Universe Company, at a huge cost, was able to accomplish all of this in just a few months.
As his body evolved within the nutrient chamber, Lu Yunhe's consciousness re-entered the virtual universe.
For members of the Virtual Universe Company at the cosmic level, there are two main ways to earn points: adventure rewards and growth rewards.
The growth rewards mainly refer to the 'Bridge to Heaven', 'Immortal Altar', and 'Illusory Sea'.
The Bridge to Heaven: Core members of the Virtual Universe Company are qualified to attempt the Bridge to Heaven. The Bridge to Heaven tests one's understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe; the deeper the understanding, the higher the level of the Bridge to Heaven one can conquer. The higher the level, the more points one earns!
The Illusionary Sea: Core members of the Virtual Universe Company are qualified to venture into the Illusionary Sea. The Illusionary Sea tests a cultivator's strength of consciousness and willpower! Consciousness is extremely important in cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks, and combat. Venturing into the Illusionary Sea involves going deeper and deeper from the outermost layer... The deeper one goes into the Illusionary Sea, the more points one can obtain!
The Immortal Altar: The Immortal Altar tests the body's power output. The same body can produce different levels of power depending on the cultivator! Pure brute force is measured in units. Some powerful cultivators can generate 10 units, 20 units, and so on. The true limit of physical power output is 100 units. This is the mark of perfect body control. Perfect control of physical power is a prerequisite for breaking through to immortality.
The Immortal Altar Plane.
On the vast, black mountain range that stretches as far as the eye can see, there are countless peaks, each topped with a golden altar. As far as the eye can see, there are thousands upon thousands of golden altars on thousands of peaks.
Lu Yunhe's figure appeared on a golden altar. As soon as he entered, an extremely uncomfortable feeling washed over him.
On the golden altar, one cannot use genetic energy, mental power, or even the understanding of laws; the only thing that can be used is pure physical strength.
On the altar, there is a human-shaped target. On the screen next to the target are the corresponding rules: "Within 1 second, use your fist, elbow, shoulder, head, knee, and foot to hit the target. Your strength will be calculated based on the lowest of these five hits."
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
"94 units, 92 units, 93 units, 93 units, 92 units."
"Brutal force: minimum 92 units, maximum 94 units!"
Looking at the display on the screen, Lu Yunhe seemed to be deep in thought. Due to the growth of his clone and the time he spent cultivating, even without deliberate training, his power exertion skills were not low.
"continue!"
Since he was only one step away from mastering the technique of generating 100 units of power, Lu Yunhe simply started training in the Immortal Altar space, and his Ultraman clone outside also trained with him.
The 100x power technique isn't particularly difficult; after all, it's just one of the simplest requirements to break through to the level of an immortal god, and many core members of the Virtual Universe Company at the cosmic level can do it too.
One month later~
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
"100 units, 100 units, 100 units, 100 units, 100 units."
"Congratulations on earning 81000 points."
"finished!"
Looking at the display on the screen, Lu Yunhe remained unmoved. With his understanding of the laws and realms, achieving 100 times the basic power was not difficult.
During this month, his consciousness practiced his power generation techniques in the virtual universe, while his body absorbed energy in the nutrient tank. Because his body had been strengthened, it was almost ready to complete the strengthening process in just one month.
After he completes the body enhancement, the remaining nutrient solution can be left for Ultraman's clone to use temporarily.
"Having cleared the Immortal Altar, the next challenge is the 'Illusory Sea'."
Lu Yunhe's figure appeared at the edge of a cliff. The black sea roared, and the waves, dozens of meters high, crashed against the cliff edge again and again.
"We need to control this!"
Lu Yunhe looked at the first island in the distance. Although it was difficult to quantify the difference in their mental states, Hong was able to break through the 20th level of the Illusionary Sea with his universe-level strength.
His consciousness appears to be at the cosmic level, but is actually at the domain lord level, comparable to the strength of a world lord. He should have no problem breaking through a dozen or so realms.
Chapter 130 Hong, who knew how to conceal his talents
At the deepest part of the Illusionary Sea, on the edge of the 21st island, sat cross-legged an old man shrouded in golden robes and black scale armor. He was the manager of the entire Illusionary Sea.
"Hmm!" The old man with black scales on his face opened his aged eyes, looked into the distance, and exclaimed in a low voice, "A mere ninth-level universe-level kid has passed through the eighth island of the Illusionary Sea so easily. Many world lords might not even be able to pass through this one island, yet he passed through it so easily. Moreover, judging from the speed at which he passed through, even the ninth level probably couldn't stop him."
The old man then checked the challenger's information and immediately understood: "So that's how it is. He's actually the champion of this year's Genius Battle, a genius with over a million epochs of experience."
The old man reviewed Lu Yunhe's background and concluded that given his demonstrated talent, his achievements were not surprising.
"They actually made it past the tenth one!"
The old man with the scales looked at the records in shock. Reaching the tenth island was already considered the minimum standard for immortality, yet he was only at the cosmic level. Bolan, who ranked second in this genius battle, failed after reaching only the seventh island.
However, to the old man's relief, Lu Yunhe failed to conquer the eleventh island.
"102300 points!"
In the Illusionary Sea Plane, Lu Yunhe looked at the newly arrived 100,000 points and shook his head slightly. Reaching the tenth level was about right; there was no need to continue. This level was just right.
The news that Lu Yunhe had passed through the tenth Illusion Island was spread by the Scaled Armor Elder. This record shocked many people, but considering his identity, it was a relatively normal thing.
After Lu Yunhe conquered the Illusionary Sea, Luo Feng also tried to conquer it. Although his willpower was slightly weaker than in the original story due to his past experiences, his mental state was slightly higher. With one thing reduced and the other increased, he still managed to conquer the ninth Illusionary Island.
Virtual universe!
"Fengzi, how many illusionary islands have you traversed?" Hong asked.
"I've conquered nine illusion islands, but the tenth island's consciousness strength has reached the immortal level, and I simply can't withstand it," Luo Feng said regretfully. "But Brother Hong, you should be able to go even deeper."
The Illusionary Sea primarily tests one's strength of consciousness and willpower; reaching the required standard in either area is sufficient to conquer it. The former is equivalent to a realm level; for example, a Universe Venerable, even with willpower at the level of a disciple, can still conquer all 21 Illusionary Islands.
In contrast to realms, willpower is equivalent to the skill of exerting force or the understanding of laws. An apprentice-level person may possess the willpower of a realm master and may be able to conquer seven or eight illusionary islands.
As for mindset, it's equivalent to amplification; it can amplify both the intensity of consciousness and the resistance of will.
"I understand!" Hong nodded, then bid farewell to Luo Feng and arrived at the Illusionary Sea.
Rumble, rumble...
Hong stood on the edge of the cliff, and then with a loud bang, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the first island in the Illusionary Sea.
With Luo Feng as a reference, Hong stopped after passing the eighth illusion island.
"Huh! This batch of little guys seems to have pretty good willpower." The old man with the scales looked at Hong, who had already passed the eighth illusion island, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Another little guy who has passed the eighth illusion island at the cosmic level, good willpower."
"However, compared to the little guy who made it through the ninth island of the Illusion Island, he's still a bit lacking."
The old man with the scales checked Hong's information. He was an "ordinary" member of the post-apocalyptic secret realm who hadn't even made it past the third level of the Sky Bridge, meaning he hadn't even had a teacher.
As a result, even the old man with the scales didn't know who to send the email to.
"Um……"
The old man with the scales pondered for a moment. Although Hong's cultivation aptitude was average, his willpower was good, making him a promising talent. While a strong willpower couldn't directly improve cultivation aptitude, it made it easier to overcome bottlenecks or fall into demonic possession, meaning one could go further in cultivation.
Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, the scaled old man silently sent out several emails about Hong's passage through the eighth seat of the Illusionary Sea.
Apocalyptic Secret Realm!
As Hong left the Illusionary Sea, a hint of joy appeared on his face as he looked at the tens of thousands of extra points in his account. This sudden influx of tens of thousands of points immediately put him far ahead of the others in the Doomsday Secret Realm in terms of accumulated points.
"With these points, I can buy some precious manuals and resources to upgrade the Cloud Vine to the Domain Lord level," Hong thought to himself.
However, to Hong's great regret, he felt he could still make it, even conquering more than a dozen illusion islands in one go, and the points he could obtain...
