Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 75

Lu Yunhe inquired, knowing that because of the Chaos Stele's selection process, many cosmic venerables would probably be unwilling to accept him as a disciple.

However, things might change after he successfully crosses the fifth level of the World Bridge in one go.

"Aside from the congratulatory emails from Luo Feng and others, there was only one email that involved the idea of ​​taking on a disciple. It was sent by an immortal king named 'Xi Yue Wang'."

"?"

Lu Yunhe slowly typed out a question mark.

Chapter 119 Xiyue King

"King Xiyue!"

Lu Yunhe stared blankly at the email. The content was simple, mainly about taking on apprentices. There was no coercion in the tone, after all, he was a member of the Primal Secret Realm.

However, this Queen Xiyue seemed aware of her reputation problem, and specifically mentioned that she had previously chosen the "World Chaos Stele," but had to give up after only reaching the fifteenth level and switched to cultivating other Chaos Steles.

"It turns out it's her!"

Lu Yunhe recalled what Baffin, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge dimension, had said: to date, the highest record for conquering the Tongtian Bridge in the world is fifteen levels.

"Although it's just a title of Immortal King, it's enough for me right now."

After all, even including his numerous clones, Lu Yunhe is still not even at the World Lord level. A King-level Immortal who has also cultivated the "World Chaos Stele" would be a perfect teacher for him in his current state.

Once his clones reach the Realm Lord level and their potential is fully unleashed, he should be able to cross the Primordial Heavenly Mountain and then directly become a disciple of the Universe Lord.

After all, the realm of the Cosmic Venerable is quite awkward in the Devouring Starry Sky.

"No more thinking, she's the one!"

Having made up his mind, Lu Yunhe had Delacion draft a letter of formal apprenticeship and replied to King Xiyue.

"it is good!"

It was a very concise email, but since King Xiyue was not currently in Chaos City, this apprenticeship ceremony could only be held in the virtual universe.

In the Swallowed Star universe, taking on a master is a very important matter; the master-disciple relationship even surpasses the bond of blood.

After all, if one is to take on a disciple, aside from a momentary whim, the first priority is naturally the disciple's aptitude and talent.

Unlike the uneven quality of disciples from family bloodlines, a strong person will only accept a disciple if the disciple's talent at least shows the potential to reach the same level as themselves.

For example, for a Cosmic Venerable, a disciple must be a genius of at least tens of thousands of epochs, because only such a genius has a slight chance of becoming a Cosmic Venerable. The same applies to the Lord of the Universe taking disciples; only geniuses of at least tens of millions of epochs have a slight chance of becoming a Lord of the Universe.

Virtual Universe Rain Mountain, Primitive Zone No. 114 Manor.

After granting Xi Yue Wang access, Lu Yunhe tidied his appearance and quietly awaited the arrival of his future teacher.

hum!

Before long, a sweltering heat rose first, followed by a cool and lonely aura. The next moment, a blazing sun and a full moon appeared simultaneously over the manor, and a goddess in a purple robe with gold trim descended before Lu Yunhe as if riding on the sun and moon.

As the King of the Moon descended, the imagery before him vanished instantly, and Lu Yunhe quickly bowed and said, "Disciple Lu Yunhe greets Master, and humbly requests Master to accept me as his disciple."

Although it was Xi Yue Wang who initiated the email, the proper procedures still had to be followed; it was a matter of courtesy.

Moreover, the other party is also a powerful king who has lived for countless epochs. It would be an honor for Lu Yunhe to be his ancestor. It has to be said that time is really worthless in the Devouring Star.

"it is good!"

A clear, cold voice, like the moon, rang out. The tone was still very concise, indicating that the speaker rarely interacted with others.

Seemingly realizing that this was inappropriate, King Xiyue parted his lips slightly: "I have not taken on any disciples for hundreds of millions of years. You are the first disciple I have ever taken on."

Lu Yunhe instantly understood; it meant he had no experience teaching apprentices. "It's alright..."

As soon as he finished speaking, two silver books appeared in front of Lu Yunhe, with the words "Great Sun" and "Great Yin" written on them.

"This is a secret technique I created myself. You can try practicing it. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me anytime."

"The Great Sun: 900,000 points (70% off the Primal Realm), Attack-type Secret Techniques... The Taiyin: 900,000 points (70% off the Primal Realm), Soul-type Secret Techniques..."

"A rich woman!"

Watching King Xiyue casually unleash a secret technique worth over a million points, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but sigh. The near-endless lifespans of these kings allowed them to accumulate wealth in an astonishing way.

Moreover, both secret techniques are worth 90 points, which means that King Xiyue is only one step away from becoming a Universe Venerable, which is the so-called invincible king.

"The imagery of the sun and moon that the teacher revealed when he first arrived must be two precious treasures."

Lu Yunhe thought to himself that to reach the invincible King level with a human body, one basically needs to possess one or two powerful treasures, since humans have inherent weaknesses in their genetic makeup.

After handing over the two self-created secret techniques to Lu Yunhe, King Xiyue glanced around the manor and frowned slightly: "Yunhe, as a member of the Primal Secret Realm, you should be able to choose an Immortal to stay by your side for guidance."

King Xiyue glanced around the manor and found that apart from the standard equipment of the Primal Secret Realm, there were no other immortals.

"I do have the authority to do so, but since I am not familiar with the immortals, I plan to wait until we arrive in Chaos City before considering it."

During his three years in the Primordial Universe, Lu Yunhe devoted himself entirely to cultivation and had no time to consider this matter. After all, under normal circumstances, the immortals who would agree to stay by the side of the members of the Primordial Secret Realm were basically Marquis-level immortals.

Moreover, the gap between those who are granted the title of Marquis and those who are granted the title of Immortal is vast; the weak can barely be granted the title of Marquis, while the strong are comparable to those granted the title of King. However, since Lu Yunhe has chosen the path of the essence of the laws, ordinary Marquises probably wouldn't be able to guide him.

After all, while most Marquis-level Immortals possess sufficient comprehension of the laws, very few actually follow the essence of those laws. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to advance to the King-level Immortal realm first?

If you want to have a barely-conquered immortal as your personal teacher, like Luo Feng in the original novel, then you'll have to pull strings.

"In that case, until you cross the fifteenth level of the World Bridge to Heaven, I, your teacher, will reside in the Primal Secret Realm!"

King Xiyue thought about it for a while, but couldn't find any suitable friends.

Considering that he was currently in a special cosmic secret realm and would not be able to return to Chaos City in the short term, he decided to stay with his disciples and personally teach them.

"Your disciple thanks you, Master."

Upon hearing King Xiyue's words, Lu Yunhe's heart stirred. To have an invincible king as a personal teacher was a privilege that could probably not be found anywhere else in the entire universe.

After all, the so-called invincible kingship means that one's strength is comparable to the weakest cosmic venerable, surpassing ordinary kingship by two whole levels.

However, the conditions offered by the King of Xiyue left Lu Yunhe somewhat helpless, and he feared that he wouldn't be able to stay as his personal tutor for long.

After all, it won't be long before his clone reaches the level of a World Lord. At that time, given the talent of this special life form, it probably won't be long before he reaches the law level of the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge...

"It's finally stabilized!"

Lu Yunhe sighed, his thirty-year journey of cultivation from chaos to enlightenment had finally begun.

Subsequently, while Lu Yunhe's physical body cultivated in Chaos City, his consciousness remained in the virtual universe, seeking guidance from King Xiyue on the "World Chaos Stele." Busy cultivation once again filled his life.

Chapter 120 Chaos Spirit

Chaos City, the inner palace of the Chaos Palace!

In the Chaotic Ruins courtyard, which resembled a battlefield ruin, a man dressed in dark red robes, with strange law patterns covering his face and an extremely fierce appearance, was deep in thought.

“If I could see through his true nature, I would have already taken him on as a disciple.”

The Lord of Chaos sighed slightly. The spacetime attribute and the clone talent were incredibly compatible with him, making him a perfect candidate for his personal disciple.

Unfortunately, due to the issue of his origins, the Lord of Chaos City must observe him further and investigate Lu Yunhe's background.

Before that, it's not advisable to let Lu Yunhe become a disciple of the Universe Venerable, since the Universe Venerable is already considered a core member of the human race and even has voting rights.

In this situation, the Lord of Chaos City thought of the King of Dawn, a genius whose past was regrettable to many.

King Xiyue, a genius from hundreds of millions of years ago, was also known as a genius who appeared only once every 100,000 epochs. Unfortunately, he also chose the "World Chaos Stele" and was trapped in the cultivation of laws. In the end, he had to switch to another Chaos Stele, wasting a lot of time.

However, being a genius of the 100,000 epochs, King Xiyue quickly reached the level of King after breaking through to immortality, and even became invincible as a King. But due to his previous experiences, his mind was flawed, and he was trapped at the level of immortality for hundreds of millions of years without being able to break through.

The reason why the Lord of Chaos City chose King Xiyue to be Lu Yunhe's master this time, besides his core identity as a Universe Venerable, was also because the Universe Venerable was too high and might not be conducive to cultivating a relationship with his disciple, but being a King of Immortality was just right.

After all, those who know about the process of teaching disciples in Devouring understand it all.

The second reason is that, given Lu Yunhe's talent, there is a high probability that he can cross the entire world's bridge to heaven.

In this way, although King Xiyue himself could not cross the entire world's bridge to heaven, the disciples he taught were able to cross it, which to some extent made up for his own mental deficiencies, and there was even a high probability that they could break through to the level of a Universe Venerable.

This process not only uncovers Lu Yunhe's background but also strengthens his bond with the human race and even has a high chance of obtaining a Universe Venerable. It's a win-win-win situation, and the Chaos City Lord approves.

The Lord of Chaos City was able to govern the primordial universe not only because of his unparalleled combat power, but also because of his excellent grasp of human nature and strategy.

After all, among the human race's universe lords, few are willing to manage human affairs; most of them cultivate in the cosmic sea.

"As long as we find the person behind you..."

The Lord of Chaos City once again immersed himself in cultivation, and the entire Chaos Ruins remained as tranquil as ever.

……

Virtual Universe Rain Mountain!

"The essence of the law!"

The King of the Moon looked at his disciple with some surprise. She had actually begun to comprehend the essence of the laws so early, and her achievements were quite remarkable, even surpassing those of her at that time.

"No wonder you haven't chosen a personal mentor from the Primal Secret Realm. Ordinary Marquis Immortals are really not qualified to guide you."

As the last realm in the primordial universe where one can cultivate and improve their basic strength, the first goal of the Marquis Immortals is naturally to cultivate to the King Immortal realm before beginning to study the path of the Universe Venerable.

After all, compared to the easy-to-get stuck understanding of laws, it is much easier to improve one's realm and strength by spending resources.

For this group of immortals, their understanding of the fundamental laws mainly relies on intuition, which is what is known as "mysterious and profound".

However, for a king who has grasped the essence of the laws, he can clearly explain these "mysterious and profound" feelings. Of course, the listener's comprehension is another matter entirely.

This is why Chaos City stipulates that only those who pass the 18th level of the Sky Bridge are qualified to establish their own sect.

Moreover, as someone who dared to cultivate the "World Chaos Monument," King Xiyue was also involved in all ten laws. In terms of the spatial law, he had even mastered the three major abilities of teleportation, sealing, and strangulation, and was only one step away from breaking through to become a Space Venerable.

At the same time, due to his early choices, although King Xiyue did not comprehend the three major abilities of time in terms of his mastery of the laws of time, his level of understanding of the laws was not low.

"Then I will demonstrate the World Chaos Monument for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright sun and a full moon reappeared in front of Lu Yunhe, and the entire manor seemed to fall into the alternation of day and night.

"The first, second, and third illustrations of the World Chaos Monument".

Through the operation of the laws evolved by the King of the Moon, Lu Yunhe saw detailed explanations of the first three diagrams of the "World Chaos Stele" and the application of the two secret techniques, "Great Sun" and "Great Yin". His several clone consciousnesses once again fell into comprehension.

It has to be said that Xi Yue Wang is indeed more suitable for Lu Yunhe now; no other universe venerable is as suitable as her.
