Chapter 189, Disciple
Virtual universe, an independent dimension.
Around the temple, numerous world lords and immortals moved about, most of them with pointed ears and tails of different colors and numbers.
"Becoming his disciple won't be easy." Inside the temple, on the towering throne, the alluring ruler of Qingqiu, clad in a green robe, revealed a face so handsome it was almost androgynous. His foxy eyes seemed to constantly gleam with seductive charm. "Silly girl, are you confident?"
The Fox-People are a major branch of the human race, and the Qingqiu Universe Kingdom is one of the 504 universe kingdoms under the Virtual Universe Company. The Fox-People are renowned for their handsome appearance; the higher and purer their bloodline, the more beautiful they are. Those born in the Qingqiu Secret Realm, in particular, possess varying numbers and colors of fox tails, indicating the level of their bloodline.
"Your Majesty, who exactly is my teacher?" From beneath the throne, Qing Shuang raised her pure yet alluring face, her naturally captivating fox eyes gazing at the Qingqiu King on the throne, and asked with some confusion.
While he was comprehending the laws, a man in black suddenly appeared and wanted to take him as a disciple. The king even nodded in agreement—one could say he was delighted.
She was certain that it was a senior figure at the level of a ruler, but Ye Muxuan's information was currently kept highly confidential. Perhaps those powerful figures who became immortal millions of years ago would know more, but the information about the newly promoted powerful figures in the last tens or hundreds of millions of years was only fragmentary, let alone a mere cosmic-level being like Qing Shuang.
Even among the hundred Realm Lords who entered the Primordial Secret Realm in the same batch as Ye Muxuan, after nearly two million years, only a dozen or so have become Immortals. The rest have either perished, are struggling at the Realm Lord stage, or have been surpassed by those who came later.
There have always been one hundred masters of the Primordial Mystic Realm, but it hasn't always been the same one hundred.
"Your teacher..." The King of Qingqiu spoke slowly, a glimpse of time passing in his fox-like eyes, "...was a very remarkable person."
"You are his first disciple, and even though you are only a nominal disciple now, your status is far higher than that of the personal disciples of other kings." The King of Qingqiu spoke slowly, "It is not difficult to become a personal disciple as long as you meet his requirements. What is difficult is that you must shoulder the responsibilities of a personal disciple."
He didn't tell Qing Shuang about the responsibilities of being the Shadow Blade Venerable's eldest disciple. As the Shadow Blade Venerable's eldest disciple, she would be scrutinized closely by most Venerable Kings and Princes. It was expected that she would perform exceptionally well, given that she was a disciple of the Shadow Blade Venerable. However, if she performed poorly, or was inferior to other geniuses of the same era, it wouldn't just be her own problem, but also a problem with the Shadow Blade Venerable's judgment.
"I will try my best!" Qing Shuang clenched her fist, a determined glint in her naturally captivating fox eyes. "Before leaving Chaos City, I will definitely pass the seventh level of the Bridge to Heaven! And become my master's personal disciple!"
On the throne, a smile flickered in the eyes of the Qingqiu King who witnessed this scene.
……
In another independent dimension, Palace Master Bai Feng looked at Ye Muxuan and said, "Since you are planning to take that little guy as your disciple, you still need to talk to Wu Tang. Although you have a good relationship, it is better to communicate about this kind of thing first."
"Yes, I've already emailed Wu Tang and asked Long Yu to go and explain the situation to him. He's on good terms with Zhen Yan and Long Yu, so it's not like he'd fall out with me over a junior." Ye Muxuan replied.
"You can handle these things yourself." Palace Master Bai Feng looked at Ye Muxuan and said, "Wu Tang's talent is not bad, and he has the opportunity to reach the level of a high-level Venerable in the future. The few kings he befriended also have some talent, and Zhen Yan and Tong Nan may also become Venerables in the future. You don't need to worry about your strength, but you are destined to stand at the highest level of the human race in the future, so your relationship with these Venerables cannot be too bad."
"I understand, teacher." Ye Muxuan nodded slowly.
……
Within Chaos City, the passage of time is very slow. It's only lively when each batch of geniuses and powerful warriors enters that the time passes; otherwise, it's difficult to perceive the passage of time.
This is a sacred place for humans. Most of the time, the powerful individuals who have the opportunity to enter are on the rooftop comprehending the laws and have no intention of causing any disturbances.
The news that Qing Shuang, who ranked first in this year's Genius Battle, had been accepted as a disciple by a senior of the national rank quickly spread among the Genius Battle members, causing a series of small ripples.
Because of taking on a disciple, Ye Muxuan went to the Lord of Chaos City and obtained twenty opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele, intending to give them to Qing Shuang at the appropriate time after she became his personal disciple.
For a cosmic ruler, such a matter is merely a matter of making a suggestion. The Lord of Chaos City values fairness, which is why Venerable Guiyi still lacks a soul treasure, but Ye Muxuan lent it to him. This is considered a favor, and the Lord of Chaos City acknowledges it. Therefore, regarding the matter of using the Chaos Stele, the Lord of Chaos City readily agreed as soon as Ye Muxuan asked.
In the third year, Qing Shuang passed through the fourth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
In the tenth year, Qing Shuang passed through the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
In the eighteenth year, Qing Shuang passed the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge, taking a commanding lead among the 927 geniuses still alive.
In the twenty-ninth year, after three attempts, Qing Shuang finally managed to cross the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.
In thirty years, Chaos City has caught up with the average level of the elders in the Primal Secret Realm—although the Primal Secret Realm only has three elders, two at the seventh level and one at the eighth level.
Among the core members of this year's Genius Battle, there is one at the seventh level, one at the fifth level, and one at the fourth level. Compared to the results of the previous hundreds of Genius Battles, this year's performance is extremely good.
……
Inside the residence, in the garden, four people sat around a round table. On one side sat Qing Shuang, who appeared somewhat reserved, and on the other side sat Ye Muxuan and his family of three.
"We'll be leaving Chaos City in ten days. Let's follow Venerable Wu Tang's arrangements first. Once we arrive at the Primal Secret Realm, we'll cultivate diligently." Ye Muxuan, dressed in an embroidered black robe, pushed a glass of fruit wine from the round table towards Qing Shuang. "If you have any questions about the cultivation courses at the Universe level in the Primal Secret Realm, you can ask me in the Virtual Universe Company's dimension. I'll grant you access. Or you can ask Long Yu; you've met her before."
"A hundred years from now, you will face your first cosmic-level qualification battle. Don't fall out of the Primal Secret Realm then."
"Don't worry, teacher, I will stay in the Primordial Secret Realm and won't fall into the Primordial Secret Realm." Qing Shuang, who was a little reserved at first, suddenly became very confident when talking about cultivation, and her naturally charming fox eyes were also full of confidence.
"Besides the cultivation courses, the most important thing at the cosmic level is the cultivation tasks. We will carefully select them, as each cultivation task is very important."
As a first-time teacher, Ye Muxuan could only give instructions based on what he could think of, which made Qingque and Chenxing roll their eyes in secret.
Ye Muxuan wasn't this dedicated when they were cultivating.
