Chapter 497 Liang Wei's Flaw, the Chaos City Lord's Request and Promise
As soon as Liang Wei finished speaking, the Lord of Chaos City said with some helplessness, "Come to the inner palace to see me."
Liang Wei gave a haughty snort, then led Chu Yang deeper into the city lord's mansion.
The city lord's mansion is outwardly relaxed but inwardly strict. The outer gate of the mansion is always open, allowing people in Chaos City to come and go as they please.
But at the entrance to the inner palace, many immortal deities stood guard.
The Lord of Chaos City is the number one ruler of the Virtual Universe Company. All these immortal gods are eager to be his guards, because even if they are just gatekeepers, the cosmic venerables usually treat them with great courtesy.
The two had just reached the door when they were stopped by two guards. But before the guards could ask any questions, an old man stepped forward and angrily rebuked them:
"Open your eyes wide! This is King Mirror Moon!"
The old man then respectfully said to Liang Wei, "Please forgive them, King Jingyue. They have only come to the City Lord's Mansion in the last ten thousand years and are blind to your greatness."
Liang Wei didn't make things difficult for them, but simply pointed to Chu Yang and said, "This is His Highness Chu Yang, the person that Grand Master Uncle specifically requested to see."
Upon hearing this, many of the immortal guards narrowed their eyes and cast curious and scrutinizing glances.
"Is this His Highness Prince Chu Yang?"
The old man looked at Chu Yang with some surprise, then said politely, "We have long heard of His Highness Chu Yang's deeds, and we truly admire him."
"The Venerable Guiyi has been waiting for a long time. Please come in, both of you!"
Liang Wei nodded, then led Chu Yang into the inner palace.
After the two entered, the immortal guards began to whisper among themselves.
They had all heard about Chu Yang, but like most people, they had doubts about his talent.
After entering the inner palace, Liang Wei and Chu Yang followed a wide corridor and soon arrived at a plaza paved with chaotic stones.
In the center of the square stood a bald man dressed in a fiery red battle robe.
"Senior Brother Guiyi!"
A smile bloomed on Liang Wei's face, revealing two shallow smiles. She quickly ran to the bald man and hugged his arm.
Immediately afterward, Liang Wei said, in a tone that was both coquettish and coquettish, "My senior uncle is really too awful!"
"He actually concealed the specific details about Prince Chu Yang from me, causing me to be reprimanded by the prince..."
"Oh?" Venerable Guiyi raised an eyebrow, looking at Chu Yang with some surprise.
Did you teach Liang Wei a lesson?
As the second disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, Venerable Guiyi is not only powerful, but also holds a high position in his sect.
He knew his junior sister very well and was well aware that with Liang Wei's strength, even among the invincible immortal gods who had been crowned kings, there were very few who could rival her.
But Chu Yang is only at the limit of the King-level, and his basic strength is more than twice that of Crazy Invincible. How could he make his junior sister, this little devil, suffer a loss at his hands?
Venerable Guiyi looked at Chu Yang and said with a smile, "It seems that Prince Chu Yang not only has outstanding talent, but his strength also far surpasses that of his peers."
"Even the teacher probably underestimated Prince Chu Yang's potential!"
Indeed, before this, even the Lord of Chaos City only valued Chu Yang's talent and comprehension.
But no one expected that, in addition to his talent and comprehension, Chu Yang's own strength was also so formidable!
They all knew that Chu Yang had only grasped the fundamental law of metal, and before joining the Virtual Universe Company, he knew nothing about the fundamental laws of other universes.
Only a few months have passed. Even if Chu Yang has begun to comprehend other fundamental laws of the universe, how much progress can he possibly make?
Venerable Guiyi knew his junior sister well. Since Liang Wei admitted that she had been taught a lesson, it meant that she was convinced of her defeat and that she was not as strong as Chu Yang.
With just one lower-level fundamental law and the basic strength of the King Limit, one can defeat a top-tier King among invincible beings. What does this mean?
This shows that Chu Yang has a deep understanding of secret techniques and unique skills, and may even have already forged his own path!
Because Venerable Guiyi knew that Chu Yang came from an indigenous planet and had only recently connected with the universe. He had used all the points given to him by the Virtual Universe Company to purchase "The Secret Technique of Controlling the Soul with Ten Thousand Hearts" and "The General Theory of the Universe".
Therefore, apart from the secret techniques and unique skills that Chu Yang comprehended or created himself, he had almost no means to amplify his combat power.
What Venerable Guiyi didn't know was that Chu Yang's immortal divine power was indeed only at the limit of the King level.
However, after merging with the source energy and possessing four divine kingdoms, his immortal divine power, in terms of both quality and foundation, has reached a level infinitely close to that of a cosmic venerable.
The immortal divine body achieved through the fusion of man and law, along with the soul power with an amplitude of over four thousand times, also makes one a cosmic venerable being with one foot in the cosmos.
Under these circumstances, if he were to mobilize the power of Haotian and unleash the Ziwei Star Guidance, not only Liang Wei, but even a high-level cosmic venerable might not be able to gain the upper hand.
Even so, when facing the cosmic overlord, Venerable Guiyi, Chu Yang still displayed a humble demeanor, smiling as he said:
"Venerable Guiyi is too kind. In that battle against King Jingyue, I merely used a clever trick."
Venerable Guiyi waved his hand and said, "That is your skill, Your Highness, there is no need to be modest."
In the virtual universe company, apart from a few senior or extremely ancient beings, 99% of the people address Chu Yang as His Highness.
Although Chu Yang is currently only a core member and is at most highly regarded by the higher-ups, he is not a big shot.
But the problem is...
No one can be sure whether he will be able to prove his talent and become the fourth disciple of the Primordial Ancestor three years from now!
If things really come to that, Chu Yang's status, identity, and seniority will reach an astonishing level.
Therefore, before everything settles down, everyone needs to show Chu Yang a certain degree of respect.
Just then, Liang Wei, who had been acting coquettishly towards Venerable Guiyi, finally revealed her true intentions, blinking her eyes and asking:
"Senior Brother Guiyi, I remember you treasured six jars of 'Wandering Galaxy' ten thousand years ago. I wonder how many jars are still left?"
The Star River Wine is a kind of wine that even immortal gods would get drunk on. It contains the power of laws, and it is said that in the state of intoxication, one will feel as if they are swimming in an ocean of laws.
It is said that a realm lord once drank only one sip and fell into a deep sleep for a hundred years.
When he awoke a century later, his understanding of the laws suddenly increased dramatically, and he gained the recognition of the very source of the laws.
Of course, such rumors are more or less exaggerated.
However, for a powerhouse like Liang Wei, who is at the level of being invincible and a king, it doesn't matter whether traveling through the Star River is beneficial to her understanding of the laws.
All she wanted was to get drunk.
Even a slight buzz is extremely rare.
In a sense, this can be seen as a trouble that comes with great power...
"They're all gone! My fellow disciples snatched them all up long ago!" Venerable Guiyi shrugged.
Liang Wei glared at him, brushed aside Venerable Guiyi's arm, and stood aside, ignoring him.
Venerable Guiyi looked helplessly at Chu Yang and said, "Your Highness Chu Yang, I will take you to see your teacher first."
Chu Yang smiled and nodded, and the two walked towards the other side of the square, while Liang Wei followed behind in a sullen mood.
Soon the three arrived at the entrance of a quiet courtyard. Beside the gate stood a stone tablet with the words "Chaos Ruins" written on it.
"The teacher is inside..."
As Venerable Guiyi spoke, he led Chu Yang and Liang Wei inside.
The moment Chu Yang stepped into the courtyard, he felt a sense of temporal and spatial distortion, as if he had entered another dimension, and the surroundings had become a vast, desolate world of ruins.
The endless land was littered with corpses, each one exuding a chilling aura.
"Master Uncle!"
Liang Wei suddenly shouted, and then a figure suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
This was a burly man who was over three meters tall, wearing dark red armor and with a scaly tail.
The man had two fiery red horns covered with strange, mysterious patterns, making him look quite fierce. His eyes resembled a vast ocean or an endless starry sky.
With just one glance, Chu Yang sensed endless cosmic laws emanating from the other party, as well as an overwhelming aura of killing intent.
His eyes flickered slightly, but he was neither intimidated nor afraid. Instead, he seemed to have a vague understanding.
With this realization, Chu Yang continuously verified his understanding with the theory of the universe.
In just a few breaths, he had already crossed the threshold of the fundamental law of time!
"what?"
A look of surprise flashed across the Chaos City Lord's eyes, followed by a smile.
Before this, although he had made the bold decision to take on the role of disciple on behalf of his master, he had some doubts about Chu Yang's talent and comprehension.
But seeing Chu Yang instantly step into the threshold of the Law of Time, many of his doubts were dispelled.
This alone is enough to prove Chu Yang's extraordinary comprehension and talent; he is truly a genius that comes along only once in countless years.
Even his most prodigious disciple, Kedi, was far inferior to Chu Yang.
"Teacher!" Venerable Guiyi bowed respectfully.
"You stinky senior uncle!" Liang Wei didn't care about anything else, jumped up and grabbed the Chaos City Lord's tail, then shook it for a while.
The Lord of Chaos City looked helpless. With a flash of light, Liang Wei instantly appeared a hundred meters away.
"Stop fooling around. You seem to get along quite well with Chu Yang, so instead of thanking me, you're here to interrogate me?"
The Lord of Chaos City wore a warm smile, his eyes full of doting affection.
"snort!"
Liang Wei turned her head away, glanced at Chu Yang, and didn't continue to pester him.
Throughout the long years, although she was the little princess of the virtual entertainment company, she had few friends.
The people she encountered either kept their distance from her or dared not befriend her.
A high and mighty position often puts immense pressure on people.
It was rare to encounter someone as uninhibited as Chu Yang. Although she suffered a setback at his hands, Liang Wei was actually quite delighted.
On one hand, she was able to get along with Chu Yang without regard for their status; on the other hand, she saw in Chu Yang her hope of breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm!
Why is Liang Wei so beloved by everyone in the sect?
Why is it that despite having extremely high talent, one is still unable to break through to the level of a Universe Venerable?
In fact, there is an inevitable connection between the two. Liang Wei was originally an unparalleled genius, but due to some changes, her soul's origin was damaged, and even her life genes were defective.
The incident that happened back then was inextricably linked to his sect, so everyone in the sect felt indebted to him and therefore doted on him and indulged him in every way.
The Chaos City Lord and his two junior brothers racked their brains to find a solution to Liang Wei's situation.
But that's only a theoretical possibility; it's almost impossible to succeed.
This method requires finding someone with an extremely high level of understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe, who can also comprehend multiple laws simultaneously, and then integrate the fundamental laws of wood with the fundamental laws of time.
In this way, the laws resulting from the fusion can help Liang Wei overcome her deficiencies.
Moreover, in this process, the souls or life levels of the two people must merge.
This is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the integration of the fundamental laws of wood and the fundamental laws of time!
The fusion of laws across systems is virtually impossible.
The Lord of Chaos City might be able to do it, but his level of life and soul is far, far higher than Liang Wei's. If he were to try to merge with her, it would cause Liang Wei's life genes or soul origin to collapse.
This creates a vicious cycle: those who can meet the prerequisites are all too powerful.
However, those whose life and soul levels are similar to Liang Wei's cannot meet the prerequisites.
But Chu Yang's appearance gave them hope!
"Guiyi, take Xiaowei downstairs first!"
The Lord of Chaos City looked at Chu Yang and waved his hand, saying, "I have some things I'd like to discuss with Chu Yang privately."
"Yes!" Venerable Guiyi replied respectfully.
After Liang Wei realized that the Lord of Chaos City had something important to do, she obediently followed him away.
Soon, only Chu Yang and the Lord of Chaos City remained in the Chaos Ruins.
"Chu Yang, Xiao Wei should have already told you about my decision, right?" The Chaos City Lord's voice was calm and gentle.
Chu Yang nodded and said, "I am truly surprised by your kind words, Lord City Lord."
The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and smiled, "As long as you can prove your talent and comprehension, then everything is what you deserve."
"I originally planned to meet you three years later, after you had proven everything."
"However, some things are better done sooner rather than later..."
At this point, the Lord of Chaos City paused, then his expression turned serious, and he said softly:
"I need your help with something. If you agree, I will give you a top-tier treasure as a reward, regardless of the outcome."
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Top-tier treasure?
This Chaos City Lord is certainly generous!
Any one of his treasures, taken out casually, would be enough to make the Lord of the Universe's heart flutter.
Needless to say, there are very few top-tier treasures; even looking at the entire primordial universe, there are probably only a handful of such treasures.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Yang frowned and asked, "Lord City Lord, if even you can't do it, how could I possibly do it?"
Chu Yang wasn't being modest; he was just making excuses.
If even the Lord of Chaos City cannot do it, it must involve enormous implications and be extremely dangerous.
When one possesses strength approaching, or even surpassing, that of the Lord of Chaos City, a top-tier treasure is truly nothing special.
By then, it would be a real shame to risk your life for this.
The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and laughed, "It's different. I can't do this, but you have a very good chance!"
"Moreover, there is no danger involved, and as I said, even if we fail, I will still give you my reward!" (End of Chapter)
