Chapter 41, Before Parting
Zhan Gu's usually quiet and unassuming actions drew the attention of many Grandmasters in Chaos City. Reaching the thirteenth level of the Realm Lord, a level nearly equivalent to the average of the core Heavenly Region, he not only successfully became a core member of the Giant Axe Arena but also attracted several Grandmasters to take him as a disciple.
If this talent hadn't been lost, the probability of achieving immortality would have been extremely high, and there was even a slight possibility of being granted the title of Marquis. This was enough to arouse the desire of some to be granted the title of King.
……
On the rooftop of the gray building, a man dressed in black sat cross-legged, his gaze fixed on the intermittently appearing and disappearing law patterns above his head. After a long while, a smile appeared on his lips.
One era in the primordial universe can last for 3,280 years in the initial universe, and ten years later, that is when their original batch of world lords will leave Chaos City!
The Immortals, and the "quasi-Immortals" who break through within Chaos City, have a cultivation period of one era. This is why some Realm Lords, if given the opportunity to break through to Immortality, immediately seize it. Once they break through to Immortality, they gain an additional six thousand years of comprehension time, essentially paying the price of a Realm Lord to obtain the cultivation time of Immortality.
The human race's leadership was naturally pleased with this outcome. Even though the probability of becoming a king after breaking through to immortality under these circumstances was almost negligible, an immortal was still precious, as they could at least serve as a mentor to the human race's rising stars and geniuses.
In ten years, I will have to leave Chaos City. If I want to enter here again in the future, I will either have to break through to immortality and become a king, or spend a huge amount of wealth to buy it, or rejoin the army to fight and exchange it for huge military merits.
Moreover, those who enter the initial universe a second time, even if they join one of the five major powers, do not receive any reward points or points to exchange for secret techniques.
However, Ye Muxuan chose to directly break through the Heavenly Bridge in Chaos City this time.
During his first thousand years in Chaos City, he "successfully" passed the fifteenth level. This not only drew gasps of admiration and gritted teeth from Zhen Dan Kong Yan Li Zheng and others, but also earned him the title of disciple of a Venerable-level super powerhouse.
Several years after Tianyu King began guiding him, this message had been relayed. The powerful figure who could persuade Tianyu King to become his disciple was at least a Venerable, perhaps even a High-level Venerable, or even a Overlord. Ye Muxuan was willing to become a disciple of such a powerful figure, even if only as a nominal one. With such a powerful backer, he now had a foothold in the universe.
After refining his plan, Ye Muxuan closed his eyes and immersed himself in comprehending the laws, preparing for the final ten years.
Not far away, the Heavenly Feather King, who had guided him for over three thousand years, quietly watched Ye Muxuan without saying a word. After a long while, he turned and left.
According to the plan outlined by his teacher, Palace Master Bai Feng, King Tianyu will re-enter the extraterritorial battlefield. This time, he will not retire until he reaches the limit of becoming a King.
For this reason, Palace Master Bai Feng even bestowed upon him a top-tier treasure armor, greatly enhancing his ability to protect himself.
Only a super-strong individual like Palace Master Bai Feng, who is closest to a top-tier cosmic overlord, possesses such power and resources. Coupled with the gains she made on the Primordial Star this time, she can afford to give such a gift. Ordinary Venerables, even overlords, only use one or two ordinary treasures. As for top-tier treasures, they are extremely precious, and they themselves only have a few, not even enough to complete a set, let alone bestow them upon their disciples.
……
Time passed, three thousand two hundred and eighty years, almost silently, as if frozen in time. Within Chaos City, apart from the occasional entry and exit of members of the Genius Battle and the Strongest Battle from the Primordial Universe every ten thousand years, which would bring a brief period of activity, and only the occasional entry and exit of strong individuals would cause some commotion, there was virtually no change at other times!
On the rooftop of the gray building, Ye Muxuan opened his eyes. This time, he had been immersed in the law for a relatively short period of time, just over eight years. This was a comprehensive review of his understanding of the laws, both to cross the Tongtian Bridge one more time before leaving and to prepare for entering the extraterritorial battlefield again.
Ten days later, this group of realm lords from the outer battlefield, along with the immortals and three "quasi" immortals from the auction house, will leave Chaos City together.
……
In the final ten days, aside from a brief gathering on the first day where the realm lords of these extraterrestrial battlefields met in the virtual universe to chat and reconnect, many of the realm lords, unwilling to give up, attempted to cross the Bridge of Heaven again, a final struggle before their departure. Within a single day, ninety-nine out of one hundred realm lords attempted the challenge, yet none were able to advance any further!
Two days later, on the rooftop of the gray building, Ye Muxuan opened his eyes, got up, went downstairs, and went to the bedroom. He cleaned himself up, tied his long hair, hung the Wind Shadow Blade at his waist, calmed his mind, stepped out of the building, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
He had already inquired beforehand, and now, if he went there, he could reach the City Lord's Mansion just in time to study the Chaos Stele. As for the fact that he had run out of study attempts, once he reached the City Lord's Mansion, he would have enough time to attempt the Heavenly Bridge again.
At the same time, a wisp of consciousness was separated and connected to the virtual universe.
The virtual universe, the Bridge to Heaven, the Stunning Chaos Monument—more than two thousand years later, Ye Muxuan once again set foot there. After receiving Baffin's permission, Ye Muxuan entered the Stunning Bridge to Heaven. Having already passed the previous fifteen levels, he flew directly to the sixteenth level.
"Choose your opponent: martial artist, psychic, illusionist. Defeat your opponent to pass!" A voice came from within a dark cloud.
Ye Muxuan stood firmly on the ground, gazing at the distant, dark clouds, and slowly spoke: "I choose... a martial artist!"
From the dark clouds, a cloud of mist shot out, landed on the ground, rolled on the spot, and transformed into a masked man dressed in black armor who looked eight or nine parts similar to Ye Muxuan.
"You last came more than two thousand years ago, didn't you? You look good this time, but I wonder how many of my blows you can withstand!" The masked man in black armor said in a hoarse voice.
Two thousand years ago, after Ye Muxuan "passed" the fifteenth level, he came here. At that time, he took two blows from the gatekeeper, but was "defeated" on the third blow!
"How will you know if you don't try?" Ye Muxuan said, slowly drawing his Wind Shadow Blade from his waist. "I want to see a higher level of scenery!"
"Very well!" The masked gatekeeper's voice suddenly sharpened, his long sword slashing down from dozens of meters away. "Then let's take a good look!"
Ye Muxuan slowly drew his sword, watching the gatekeeper in front of him, whose seemingly slow movements were actually influenced by the laws of time. The downward slash of the sword was extremely fast, and his extremely slow sword draw was completed just as the gatekeeper's extremely fast slash was about to strike his head!
"Clang~"
Parry with the longsword, then follow up with a downward slash!
