"Let's go, Master should be waiting for us."
Zhenyan patted Xingchen on the shoulder.
"People who come to Chaos City for the first time will have a simple test before they can choose a place to stay."
The two crossed the plaza, and along the way, they saw many cultivators.
There are realm lords, immortals, and even occasionally one can sense a few unfathomable auras—those are at least at the level of cosmic venerables.
"Chaos City has a small permanent population, but everyone there is an elite."
Zhenyan explained.
"Those who can cultivate here for a long time are either unparalleled geniuses or super strong individuals."
After turning a corner, a golden palace appeared ahead, which was the residence of Venerable Jin Chen.
"arrive."
"Don't be scared to death when you see my teacher later."
Zhen Yan smiled.
Xingchen shook her head, "That's not the case."
Before the two could even knock, the door opened silently.
"come in."
As Xingchen followed Zhenyan into the palace, each step seemed to tread on invisible laws, creating faint golden ripples beneath their feet.
The interior of the palace is far more magnificent than its exterior, with countless golden patterns flowing across the towering dome, each containing profound spatial laws.
Walking through the long corridor, lifelike golden statues stand on both sides.
"Our master is waiting for us in the main hall."
Zhenyan said.
After turning the last bend, a golden gate engraved with an intricate star map appeared before us.
The moment the door opened silently, Xingchen felt her breath catch in her throat—
Inside the main hall, Venerable Jin Chen sat upright in the void, surrounded by 108 golden rays.
Each streak of light moved like a living thing, outlining mysterious trajectories in the void.
He wore a dark gold robe embroidered with countless star patterns that rose and fell slightly with his breath, as if a real galaxy were flowing.
His eyes held the endless starry sky; with just a casual glance, the stars felt as if their very souls had been seen through.
Chapter 34 The Lord of Chaos City! The most unique genius in history!
"Disciple greets Master."
Zhenyan bowed respectfully, his voice filled with reverence.
Xingchen also bowed quickly: "Greetings, Venerable Jinchen."
Venerable Jin Chen nodded slightly, a simple gesture that caused the laws of the entire cultivation room to fluctuate.
He slowly raised his hand, and a golden light shone from his fingertip: "Get up."
The sound was not loud, but it was like the first thunderclap at the beginning of the universe, echoing deep within the soul of the stars.
He then realized that he had unknowingly broken out in a cold sweat—this was the power of the Cosmic Sovereign!
The mere aura emanating from him was enough to suffocate this realm lord who was capable of killing a Marquis.
"Stars."
Venerable Jin Chen's gaze swept over Xingchen's entire body as if it were a tangible object, and a golden light flashed in his eyes, which contained the endless starry sky.
Xingchen felt as if he had been completely seen through, with even the smallest cellular structure and his soul nowhere to hide.
"A hundred times better at the genetic level, that's really impressive."
Venerable Jin Chen nodded slightly, his voice as deep and resonant as the laws of the universe.
"It's a pity that the divine body has a limited size; otherwise, its power would be even stronger when it breaks through to immortality in the future."
Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. The Venerable One had seen through his true nature at a glance.
Fortunately, it seems that even a Venerable One cannot see through his miniature universe, and naturally cannot see his true form either.
"but…"
Venerable Jin Chen then changed the subject.
"With your talent, becoming a king in the future will not be difficult. Do not waste this opportunity and do not slack off in your cultivation."
He raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a golden light entered Xingchen's brow: "For the next thirty years, you can cultivate in Chaos City. This is the most precious time for cultivation in the initial universe, so make the most of it."
Xingchen felt a stream of information appear in his mind—the basic rules and precautions of Chaos City. What excited him most was the qualification to comprehend the Chaos Stele!
"There are 52 Chaos Steles in total, and each one contains the supreme Dao."
Venerable Jin Chen explained.
"You may choose one to study. The first time you have seven days, and each subsequent study will consume military merits."
Zhen Yan added from the side, "Brother Xingchen, the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele is extremely precious. Many immortals would kill for it, so you must choose carefully."
Venerable Jin Chen continued, "In addition, there are many cultivation insights left by predecessors in Chaos City. You may observe them at will, but you must not destroy them."
His gaze suddenly deepened: "Thirty years from now, I will assess your progress. If you meet my requirements, I will accept you as a disciple."
Upon hearing this, Xingchen was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Venerable One!"
"Go."
Venerable Jin Chen waved his hand.
"Zhenyan will guide you to familiarize yourself with the environment. Remember, time is precious in the initial universe, so don't waste it."
As the Venerable One finished speaking, Xingchen felt a gentle force carry him out of the main hall.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he stood on the street outside the palace.
"How about it?"
Zhenyan smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Although Master is strict, he is never stingy with rewards for geniuses. Thirty years of cultivation time is a privilege that even many immortals envy!"
Xingchen nodded, gazing at the chaotic energy flowing above Chaos City, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "I will not let the Venerable One down."
Based on his insights accumulated over thousands of years, given some time, his combat strength will skyrocket!
"Come on, I'll take you to choose the Chaos Stele first!"
Zhenyan said excitedly.
"I'll tell you about the characteristics of the 52 Chaos Steles on the way."
The two walked along the wide street, with various laws and secret patterns visible on the surrounding buildings.
With each step Xingchen took, he could feel the rich fluctuations of the laws, as if he were immersed in an ocean of laws.
It truly lives up to its name as Chaos City.
……
Just as Zhenyan was showing Xingchen around Chaos City, deep within the city, inside the city lord's mansion.
A majestic figure stood silently in the void, his face serene yet seemingly containing the ultimate truths of the universe.
Simply by sitting there, the surrounding spacetime naturally revolved around him. This was a true being standing at the pinnacle of the universe, a fifth-order universe lord! The Lord of Chaos City!
Suddenly, the Lord of Chaos City's gaze shifted slightly.
"Hmm? What's going on? The initial universe seems to be experiencing some kind of tremor."
What is the primordial universe? It is the core sacred land of the human race, and also the special universe where Chaos City is located.
It is not a naturally formed universe, but was created by the super-powerful progenitor of the human race. It has a unique law environment and time flow, and is a key place for the human race to cultivate geniuses and pass on the laws.
The initial universe was no different from the real universe!
It actually shook at that moment!
This has never happened before in the endless ages!
"Hmm? This is... the reason actually comes from within the city!"
Could they be a different race?
His aura instantly turned icy, capable of shaking the primordial universe. Only the strongest being in the universe could do this, or perhaps it was the primordial will of the universe descending.
He couldn't help but make this guess again.
The eyes change direction.
It pierced through endless time and space and landed on the star that was walking in the city.
"Hmm? Humans?"
His voice echoed in the void like the first ripple at the beginning of the universe.
He saw through the essence of the stars at a glance. Although their bodies were different from ordinary humans, possessing a hundred times the genetic level, in their eyes, flesh and blood represented nothing; the soul was the essence.
In his eyes, the stars were clearly the souls of humankind, but why would such a world lord cause the primordial universe to tremble?
"Wait, this young man actually possesses a trace of the primordial energy of the universe?!"
The Lord of Chaos's gaze seemed to see through all illusions.
In his eyes, the nascent miniature universe within Xingchen's body had nowhere to hide.
What surprised him even more was that the way this universe was structured was subtly similar to the original universe.
"An innate internal universe? Or some unknown innate secret technique? This... what a massive body!"
The Lord of Chaos's gaze pierced through layers of time and space. When his gaze fell upon the small universe within the star's body, his eyes, which contained endless laws, trembled slightly.
"this......"
