Chapter 135, Concealing the Edge
Chaos City, in the living room of the True King's small building.
King Zhenyan gazed at the ancient, profound, and clear blue sword before him, then turned to look at King Longyu, and suddenly asked, "Longyu, do you think... if I were to go and pledge allegiance to him now, would he also give me a great treasure?"
He cultivated diligently for tens of thousands of epochs, finally reaching the level of a king. He ventured into secret realms, battles in outer regions, and took on clan missions. After experiencing life and death trials, he finally had a stroke of luck and obtained a great treasure. In the end, he had to ask the Holy Lord to intervene and exchange it with other kings before he could obtain a long staff that suited him.
But now, Longyu King has sided with that guy and actually received a top-tier treasure sword! He's green with envy!
With this battle sword in hand, as long as Longyu comprehends the first level of the secret rune, her strength can definitely reach the high level of the King-level, or even the peak of the King-level!
Furthermore, in the process of comprehending the second level of the secret runes, she can also enhance her understanding of the laws, and perhaps one day her level of understanding of the laws will advance even further. At that time, with the aid of the battle sword, she will definitely possess peak King-level combat power!
"It's not that simple. To keep this treasure, you must personally kill a peak-level King within ten thousand epochs. Even if you use the treasure, you still need to have the comprehension of the laws of a peak-level King." King Tongnan, who was standing to the side, slowly shook his head. Although his eyes were not open, it was clear that his expression was solemn.
Although King Longyu has cultivated for a shorter time than King Zhenyan and King Tongnan, this time is not important to them; what matters is their talent. Ye Muxuan has only cultivated for a few hundred thousand years, yet they look up to him in awe. Yun Ming, who has also cultivated for tens of thousands of years, has already passed the seventeenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, almost catching up with Longyu now. Who knows, Yun Ming might reach the nineteenth level while King Longyu is still on the eighteenth.
"That guy clearly saw that Longyu's talent wasn't as good as those prodigies, so he gave her a great treasure and such a suitable limit for becoming a King." King Zhenyan looked at a corner of the living room, where an alien King-level divine body, radiating immense pressure, lay quietly in a deep sleep. "King Qinglian, we even fought in the Star Tower back then, but I never expected that guy to beat me into a deep sleep this time, and now I've fallen into your hands."
Queen Qinglian is a top-tier king from a subordinate clan of the demon race, possessing immense combat power. Even King Zhenyan wouldn't be confident of defeating her without using powerful treasures. She is also a king who has been active in the Star Tower for hundreds of thousands of years, achieving immortality through the Law of Water. Now, she has already comprehended the three major categories of the Law of Space. If she were to combine the three into one, she would become a Space Venerable.
This is the second gift Ye Muxuan gave to Longyu King. If Qinglian King had been there to assist and guide her, and with the treasure and secret runes to comprehend, she would have been truly useless if she couldn't reach the peak of the King-Sealing Realm even after spending ten thousand epochs in Chaos City. She would have no face to accept Ye Muxuan's treasure.
King Longyu was naturally aware of this, and along with King Qinglian, he was also given a precious treasure capable of restoring divine bodies, worth nearly a hundred billion Chaos Units, enough for King Qinglian to recover to his full strength. It could be said that because King Longyu was the first king to explicitly pledge allegiance to him, he had already given him the best treatment.
She came to see King Zhenyan and King Tongnan not to show off, but because the gift was far too valuable. The treasures that helped King Qinglian restore his divine body were more than enough to buy her! She didn't even know if she could handle such a hot potato!
"Accept!" King Tongnan spoke, his closed eyes "looking" at King Longyu. "You must accept. Whether you can meet the requirements is another matter, but if you don't even have the courage to accept, why should that guy respect you?"
Longyu Wang nodded emphatically, his fingertips stroking the sword hilt, feeling the profound aura of this precious treasure. A solemn expression appeared on his exquisite face.
……
In a corner of Chaos City, Ye Muxuan withdrew his gaze and continued to instruct the two little ones in front of him.
He possessed the authority of a mid-level Venerable, granting him ten slots per era for those below the Immortal level to enter the Initial Universe for enlightenment. Like the Realm Lords who entered through the Cosmic Kingdom Auction and military merits earned in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, these individuals were eligible to study the Chaos Stele and cross the Heavenly Bridge. There were also ten slots for residing in Chaos City, though these ten individuals lacked the qualifications of the others. Currently residing in his small building were his two children, the elder Lianfeng and the younger Chenxing.
Lianfeng inherited his talent and Qingque's silver hair. He was handsome with snow-white hair and extremely high talent, attracting many women in the Qingyuan Clan. Chenxing's talent was not as good as Lianfeng's, but it was still quite remarkable. Lianfeng followed the path of a martial artist, while Chenxing followed the path of a controller. Now, after more than a thousand years of cultivation, both of them had reached the ninth level of Domain Lord, even with Ye Muxuan suppressing them.
In fact, none of Ye Muxuan's five children were truly lacking in talent. After all, both Ye Muxuan and Qing Que Yantong were among the most talented in the Qingyuan Clan. They received the best early education from a young age, which was far better than Ye Muxuan and his siblings figuring things out on their own. Now, even the third, fourth, and youngest children have already reached the Domain Lord level.
Now, more than a thousand years after Ye Muxuan ventured into the Primordial Star, the Qingyuan Clan has flourished, with a significant increase in resources and a continuous stream of breakthroughs among its powerful members. Especially since returning from the Star Tower, nine of the Bewitching Heart King's limit-level and thirteen peak-level Kings have entered the Qingyuan Star Domain to oversee things. With these twenty-three Kings under their tutelage, the number of Domain Lord-level elders is increasing, and even two World Lord-level Grand Elders have emerged, bringing the total to eight. The number of Domain Lord-level elders has also surpassed sixty.
A century ago, under the leadership of the Immortal Grand Elder Zhong Li, the Senate underwent a reshuffling of its ranks. Now, only those who break through to the Realm Lord level can be called Elders, and only the Immortals can be called Grand Elders. Therefore, to be precise, the Qingyuan Clan today has one Grand Elder Zhong Li, eight Elders, and Clan Chief Ye Muxuan; these ten are the true high-ranking members of the Qingyuan Clan.
Perhaps in the future, only the immortals will be called elders, and only the venerable ones will be called great elders, but that is something that will happen many epochs later.
After giving his instructions, Lian Feng, with his silver hair, white robes, and handsome face, suddenly spoke up: "Father, I want to venture into the outer battlefields."
His expression was extremely serious, and his younger sister, Chenxing, standing next to him, turned her head and looked at her brother in surprise.
Ye Muxuan looked at him and slowly nodded: "Okay."
Lianfeng displayed astonishing martial arts talent from a young age, unmatched by any of his peers. In addition, with the guidance of Qingque and Zhongli—both the eldest son of the clan leader and the matriarch, Qingque, and the elder Zhongli, both highly valued him—his foundation was solid, and he steadily rose from the planetary level to the domain lord level.
He comprehended the domain, crossed the threshold of the laws, and enhanced his understanding of the laws. His performance was not amazing, and he did not have the eye-catching achievements of the core geniuses of the five major forces at the same time, but every move he made revealed a calm and steady demeanor.
Now that he wants to go out and gain experience, it is naturally a decision made after careful consideration, and Ye Muxuan can see that, so he will not stop him.
