The ‘Training Ground’ of the Virtual Universe is the best place for drills.
This is because optimal training conditions can be set within the Virtual Universe, and since it’s a 100% simulation, compared to training in reality, the effects in terms of experience accumulation and enlightenment are exactly the same.
Just like the Killing Fields, which demand exorbitant prices, yet countless powerhouses still venture in. As a core member, one possesses their own exclusive “Training Ground.” Following this, rather than hastily observing the workings of cosmic laws in the skies above Chaos City, Luo Feng devoted himself to absorbing and comprehending the seven days of enlightenment he had attained from the “Nine Heavens Chaos Stele.”
“Your Highness, His Highness Wuka has come to pay a visit,” bellowed the bald Boundary Master, Oduolike.
“Uka?”
Luo Feng emerged from the training ground, his body transforming into a phantom, traversing dozens of kilometers in an instant, arriving at the entrance of the estate.
“Luo Feng, Luo Feng, something big has happened,” the silver-robed, black-haired youth rushed in.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng asked with a smile.
“It’s Ronjun,” the Prince of Man Ka Star exclaimed with exhilaration, his voice trembling with excitement. “You likely haven’t heard yet. Yesterday, we underwent the Heaven Bridge trial. Out of our group of thirty-odd candidates who entered the colossal Axe Heaven Bridge, all—myself included—failed to clear even the first level. But Ronjun triumphed! Among our cohort of a thousand aspirants, only Bolan and Ronjun prevailed. Bolan conquered two levels, while Ronjun surmounted one. The rest couldn’t even breach the initial threshold.”
“What?” Luo Feng was greatly surprised.
Ronjun succeeded?
Previously, during the Genius War, Luo Feng and Ronjun were about equal.
And during the three-year journey, his three major body trainings had made incredibly significant progress. Although he didn’t say it openly, deep down, Luo Feng was convinced… he was enough to rank second! However, the result of crossing the Heaven Bridge was like this.
“And just now,” Uka said excitedly, “the ruler of the Yuanchen Cosmic Nation appeared in Chaos City and took Ronjun as his disciple.”
“A Cosmic Nation Ruler?” Luo Feng was also stunned.
A Cosmic Nation Ruler governs a vast cosmic nation and is considered a true ruling class in the boundless universe, commanding legions of immortals.
“How is that possible?” Luo Feng couldn’t believe it either.
“Not even Bolan was personally taken as a disciple by a Cosmic Nation Ruler.”
“Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either,” Uka shook his head. “At the level of a Cosmic Nation Ruler, there’s no need to take disciples. They are super beings who have existed for countless eons without perishing, presiding over a cosmic nation! Even Bolan… the possibility of becoming a Cosmic Nation Ruler is very, very small. Therefore, geniuses are not worth the effort of a Cosmic Nation Ruler personally taking them as disciples. Yet, the ruler of the Yuanchen Cosmic Nation really did take Ronjun as his disciple! The information I received is absolutely accurate. Right now, the upper echelons of all 1008 cosmic nations have received this news.”
“This, this…” Luo Feng was speechless with a bitter smile.
Has a pie fallen from the sky?
Bolan the Death God, the peerless genius that others in this batch of geniuses felt they had to look up to, hadn’t attracted a Cosmic Nation Ruler to personally take him as a disciple. Yet Ronjun had gained a teacher who is a Cosmic Nation Ruler!
“This isn’t even the most surprising thing to me,” Uka lowered his voice. “I received a message from my father.”
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
“The one who wished to take Ronjun as a disciple wasn’t merely a single Cosmic Nation Ruler—but two!” Uka’s eyes gleamed with excitement. “However, you must understand that behind the 1008 cosmic nations, there truly stand five supreme powers. These two Cosmic Nation Rulers hail from the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Martial Arena respectively. Since Ronjun originated from the Virtual Universe Company, he ultimately became the chosen disciple of the Yuanchen Cosmic Nation Ruler.”
“What, there were actually two Cosmic Nation Rulers competing?” Luo Feng was at a loss.
“No matter what, Ronjun is temporarily stronger than us,” Uka clenched his fist. “But I won’t easily admit defeat. My father said that these 30 years in Chaos City are the 30 years we start our journey, the cornerstone of our future achievements. Now the training in Chaos City has just begun; everything is still uncertain.”
“Yeah.” Luo Feng nodded.
Not to mention Ronjun, even Bolan was just the first target Luo Feng needed to surpass in his heart.
“How’s your enlightenment with the ‘Nine Heavens Chaos Stele’ going?” Uka asked curiously.
“Not bad.” Luo Feng replied.
“I suggest you go to the rooftops of the empty training residences in Chaos City. Many of them are casual recordings left by predecessors during their enlightenment.” Uka smiled. “At our speed, we can tour all of them in ten days or half a month, finding the most suitable recordings for our enlightenment. The Chaos Stele is ultimately too profound, and perhaps the recordings of others’ enlightenment might trigger some insights. This kind of collision of insights is easier to improve. This is what my father said!”
Luo Feng looked at Uka in surprise.
His one challenge on the Heaven Bridge had allowed him to understand a lot and made significant progress. Indeed, the collision of insights was very effective.
“Thanks.” Luo Feng said earnestly.
“What thanks for? Only by competing with strong opponents is it interesting. The stronger the opponent, the faster one can progress.” Uka grinned. “I’m off to look for some recordings. Knowing that Ronjun has been taken as a disciple by a Cosmic Nation Ruler, my fighting spirit is now burning high.” He then disappeared instantly.
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
One cannot underestimate anyone. Being ranked in the top ten among the geniuses of the 1008 Cosmic Nations, no one could be underestimated. Luo Feng had the Mosha Clan clone and the Gold Horned Giant Beast clone; could others not have some other special encounters?
“Seven days of enlightenment, I’ve digested most of it. To fully comprehend the first picture ‘Raindrop Picture’ of the Nine Heavens Chaos Stele is definitely not something that can be achieved in a few days. I also need to watch the recordings left by predecessors.” Luo Feng instantly left the Virtual Universe with his consciousness, returning to Chaos City, and began an exhaustive search throughout Chaos City!
…
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island.
Thunder Island is the gathering place of immortals in the Virtual Universe Company, the true concentration of the highest echelons.
The vast Thunder Island is shrouded in clouds and mist, with lightning snakes slithering around the island. If Rainphase Mountain is larger than an average planet, then Thunder Island is over a million times the size of Rainphase Mountain.
“How did the 1000 geniuses perform in the Heaven Bridge test?” The man in the azure battle robe with purple scales sat high on his throne, his voice booming and echoing through the immense palace.
“Venerable One.”
A lion-headed, golden-furred giant stood below, resembling a tower. His golden fur was dazzling, and his entire being seemed like a star, radiant and brilliant. He respectfully reported, “Of this batch of 1000 geniuses, 998 failed the Heaven Bridge test. Bolan successfully passed two levels, and Ronjun passed one level. Watching the video of the Heaven Bridge test, the members of the Primordial Zone performed well. Luo Feng, Qianshui, and Uka all did quite well, showing significant improvement compared to the Genius War.”
“Hmm.” The man in the azure battle robe with purple scales nodded slightly. “Only Ronjun surprised me; the others performed as expected.”
“Send me the video of Ronjun’s battle on the Heaven Bridge.” The man in the azure battle robe with purple scales ordered.
“Yes, Venerable One.” The lion-headed giant respectfully transmitted the video.
Then, a screen appeared in the palace, and the video began to play. On the screen, the wild Ronjun looked like a primordial war god. His fierce aura and the giant earth-splitting blade were almost divine. His slashes were ferocious, and finally, he directly cleaved his opponent, who was also wielding an earth-splitting blade, to death.
The man in the azure battle robe with purple scales watched calmly, slightly frowning. “You may leave now.”
“Yes.” The lion-headed giant respectfully withdrew.
The palace was silent.
The man in the azure battle robe with purple scales scrutinized the video, murmuring, “Strange indeed. Ronjun’s combat talent is truly remarkable. Although his comprehension of the laws isn’t particularly strong, he can unleash extraordinary combat power! Creating his own sword techniques at such a young age makes him a very impressive genius. But this still doesn’t explain why Yuanchen and Gulong, these two Cosmic Rulers, would fight over taking him as a disciple.”
“Yuanchen and Gulong, these two Cosmic Rulers have existed for an extremely long time, much longer than me.” The man in the azure battle robe with purple scales frowned. “They also reached the Venerable level earlier than me. Perhaps they noticed something in this video that I did not.”
As an equal to the Cosmic Rulers Yuanchen and Gulong,
Nine-Sword Venerable knew very well that so-called geniuses held no attraction for Cosmic Rulers. What was the point of nurturing geniuses? Unless one could cultivate a Cosmic Ruler, it wouldn’t benefit them much.
Not even Bolan had anyone fighting to take him as a disciple.
But Ronjun had two Cosmic Rulers vying to take him.
“There must be a secret. Yuanchen and Gulong are among the oldest Cosmic Rulers, and they must have discovered something.” Nine-Sword Venerable watched the video again. At his level, he had already analyzed the video content thoroughly, discovering everything that could be found.
“Why?”
“What secret?” Nine-Sword Venerable pondered for a long time before burying the question deep in his heart.
…
In Chaos City, on the seventh floor of the nine-story tower.
The golden-armored, ape-like giant ‘Zhenyan’ was discussing the matter of ‘Yuanchen Cosmic Ruler coming to Chaos City and taking Ronjun as a disciple’ with the snake-tailed woman.
“Ronjun’s combat talent is extremely high,” the snake-tailed woman rasped. “Although his comprehension of the Origin Laws might be a bit low, he can unleash tremendous combat power. He’s very outstanding! Among the 1000 geniuses from your Virtual Universe Company, besides Bolan, he’s the next best.”
“You can’t say that!”
Zhenyan quickly replied, “Among the 12 younglings who chose the Nine Heavens Chaos Stele, there’s also one who is no less than Ronjun, even slightly stronger.”
“Are you referring to Luo Feng?” The serpent-tailed woman gave a faint nod. “Indeed, that young man, barely at the initial tier of the Cosmic Level, has already mastered the ‘Celestial Sword Style.’ Though his adaptability is lacking and his control over the Divine Armament remains rudimentary, his grasp of the Origin Laws is remarkably profound. With proper guidance, his combat prowess could ascend dramatically! In terms of comprehension of the Origin Laws, Bolan stands first, but Luo Feng undoubtedly ranks second!”
“Yeah.”
The ape-like giant Zhenyan stroked his chin and muttered, “Luo Feng is definitely a real promising talent in our ‘Nine Heavens School.’ I should give him a little hint.”
“What are you going to do?” The snake-tailed woman was taken aback.
“What? Ronjun even has a Cosmic Ruler as his teacher; I’m just giving him a little hint,” the ape-like giant shook his head. “Now in Chaos City, below the Cosmic Rulers, I’m the first among the Nine Heavens School. Those Cosmic Rulers look down on Luo Feng, Bolan, and others. My standards aren’t that high; I do appreciate them. When Luo Feng passes the third level of the Heaven Bridge, he’ll be qualified to attend my lectures. After tens of thousands of years, perhaps a super immortal will emerge from my disciples. Haha…”
The snake-tailed woman shook her head and then closed her eyes.
Seeing this, the ape-like giant smiled and didn’t disturb her anymore, directly vanishing into thin air from the tower.
