Chapter 196, The Nine Swords Venerable
Time passed, and in the 300,000th year, Qing Shuang passed through the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, maintaining her position as the number one among the hundred Realm Lords. She caught up with Long Yu King, as well as Yin Mei King Lian Feng and Xing Huo King Chen Xing.
After cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City for three thousand years, Qing Shuang refined a pair of top-tier treasured combat boots given to her by her teacher, the Shadow Blade Master. After comprehending the first layer of secret runes on the boots, she left Chaos City and entered the outer battlefield, beginning her life-and-death trials at the Realm Lord level.
This is a life-or-death ordeal that every core member at the realm master level must undergo, choosing between the extraterrestrial battlefield and the cosmic secret realm.
In the 350,000th year, Le Yun, the youngest child who had always focused on having fun, finally broke through to immortality and was directly crowned a king, with the title of King of Amusement. He was the only one of Ye Muxuan's five children to be directly crowned a king after breaking through from the realm master to immortality.
Before her, the third and fourth brothers had already broken through to immortality, but they were only at the level of Marquis Immortal.
In the four hundred thousandth year, Qing Shuang, the eldest disciple who had been honing his skills on the battlefields beyond the realm, had his identity exposed and was assassinated by an immortal-level Zerg queen. At the critical moment of life and death, he comprehended the second secret rune of the combat boots. Using the escape speed brought by the combat boots, he "coincidentally" encountered the renowned Tianyu King, turned the tables, and forced the immortal Zerg queen into a deep sleep, ultimately enslaving the Zerg queen.
She told this information to her teacher, Ye Muxuan, who then revealed the identity of the Heavenly Feather King. Qing Shuang obediently went to pay her respects to her senior uncle, the Heavenly Feather King, and inquired about his well-being.
On their path to cultivation, powerful individuals often have several teachers. In reality, unless their senior uncles and aunts are of equal or even greater strength than their own teachers, they rarely have any interaction. Moreover, true geniuses often rise to prominence very quickly. While their senior uncles and aunts may still be in seclusion comprehending the laws, a junior nephew they've never heard of may have already risen to prominence. Before they can even react, that junior nephew's strength may have already surpassed their own.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to comprehend the second layer of the secret runes of the top-tier treasure boots, Qing Shuang secluded herself for another ten thousand years and comprehended spatial teleportation. With this, she passed the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven, officially surpassing King Longyu and King Honglian!
Having cultivated for a total of 410,000 years, she had already passed the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven, single-handedly overwhelming all the realm lords of her generation. Although her rate of progress could not compare to Ye Muxuan's, she was still among the most outstanding geniuses of the human race.
However, since her teacher Ye Muxuan had crossed the Primal Tongtian Bridge back then, she is still working hard to comprehend the three great mysteries at the Realm Lord stage, so that she can cross the Realm Lord level Tongtian Mountain just like her teacher.
In the 500,000th year, a joyous event spread throughout the human race's many immortals and venerables: Nine Swords King Yunming, after more than three million years of cultivation, stepped into the venerable realm, becoming a high-ranking member of the human race, and officially taking the title of Nine Swords Venerable.
At the Venerable Banquet, whether out of respect for the Nine Swords Venerable or for the sake of his teacher, the Nether Demon Venerable, many Universe Venerables and a large number of King-level Immortals were attracted.
Mad Universe Venerable also went on behalf of Ye Muxuan.
Having cultivated the Path of the Beast God, the True King Yan, now possessing invincible strength as a King-level cultivator, naturally went along with King Tongnan and King Longyu. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Ye Muxuan's unexpected rise to power, King Longyu would have later submitted to the Nine Swords Venerable and become the strongest King-level cultivator under him.
Fifty thousand years later, Qing Shuang comprehended the second profound mystery of the spatial laws, spatial strangulation, and attempted to break through Tongtian Mountain, only to be defeated at the summit.
In the 620,000th year, Qing Shuang comprehended the third profound mystery of the spatial laws: spatial sealing. Once these three are combined into one, the complete spatial laws are achieved. At this point, she was only one step away from becoming a Space Venerable.
Ten thousand years later, Qing Shuang finally broke through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, and stood at the very top of all the geniuses.
In the same year, she entered the Immortal Realm. Possessing two great treasures, she broke through to the limit of King-level strength, with the title of Azure Charm King. Among the fox-people, her current strength ranks among the top five.
In the first million years, Luo Qianwang, the eldest disciple of the White Phoenix Palace Master, finally found that sliver of opportunity and seized it without hesitation. After being trapped in the immortal stage for hundreds of thousands of epochs, he stepped into the ranks of the universe's venerables and was given the title of Venerable Luo Qian.
He was already an invincible king more than 200,000 epochs ago, and now, with his breakthrough, he has the strength to approach that of a high-level Venerable, and is even slightly above the seventh Venerable, Jingfeng.
Palace Master Bai Feng was also happy for him. Not to mention the increase in the strength of her disciples, she had watched helplessly as her eldest disciple, who had been trapped in the King-Sealing Era for over two hundred thousand years, went from being full of vigor to gradually falling into silence, wandering the universe for billions of years in search of that sliver of opportunity, without being able to help him at all.
At Venerable Luo Qian's banquet, all the surviving junior brothers and sisters were present, including Ye Muxuan. There were even more Venerables present this time than at Venerable Nine Swords' banquet, and even several cosmic overlords were there.
Perhaps spurred on by Venerable Luo Qian, after 300,000 years of secluded cultivation, King Lan Yan finally entered the ranks of Venerables! This genius, who was from the same era as his seventh senior brother, Venerable Jingfeng, later became a disciple of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, and has now finally achieved the status of a Venerable.
He is also the second Venerable disciple under the master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.
Besides these familiar faces, over the past millions of years, two other kings who had been silent for countless epochs have finally taken that step, becoming two Venerables added to humanity, though Ye Muxuan does not recognize either of them.
Purgatory Abyss, Xunfeng Tower, seven levels.
Ye Muxuan, who had been sitting motionless with his eyes closed for 500,000 years, opened them and created the ultimate secret technique of the third form of the Lord of the Universe.
He even had a prototype of the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe.
But hard training alone wouldn't be enough; he could sense that the bottleneck needed to be broken through through combat, so...
Virtual universe, Thunder Island, mountain peak.
Inside a magnificent palace, amidst endless chaotic energy, the Chaos City Lord, clad in a golden robe, looked at Ye Muxuan, who wore a simple white robe, and asked with some surprise, "You mean, you want to enter the Cosmic Sea to hone your skills?"
"Yes, Senior Uncle." Dressed in a simple white robe, Ye Muxuan looked at the Lord of Chaos City in front of him and said, "I feel that I have reached the bottleneck of entering the realm of the Lord of the Universe. After being tempered by battle, I may gain some insights."
As the "Lord of the Universe," he can freely peruse the secret manuals and scriptures of his race, and he can send his Nine Netherworld clones to explore many secret realms, but he is still stuck at the last step.
The Lord of Chaos nodded. Reaching the level of a Universe Lord is not something that can be achieved through arduous cultivation alone; every Universe Lord breaks through through trials and battles. Fighting against different opponents and clashing with secret techniques of various levels does indeed help in comprehending the level of a Universe Lord.
"Alright then, you should prepare yourself and look up some information about the Cosmic Sea. My true form is currently in the inner domain of the Peak Realm, and it will take tens of thousands of years for me to return to the Primordial Universe. When that time comes, my true form will take you into the Cosmic Sea." After a moment's thought, the Chaos City Lord spoke.
The Cosmic Sea is fraught with danger, and the Peak Realm is one of the three most dangerous places. He had to be very careful on his way out of the inner region.
During this time, Ye Muxuan also needed to make preparations, such as which clones to bring and the arrangements within the Qingyuan Clan.
