Swallowed Star: Blood-robed True God

Chapter 198: Disciple of Lian Qingzhu
Register the location information of all geniuses.

The staff of Virtual Universe Company then smiled and said, "Everyone, the addresses you wrote have all been recorded. The farthest person among the 1000 people present is about 13 billion light years away from our Virtual Universe Company's headquarters. Based on the different geographical locations of the 1000 people and our spaceship resources, we have calculated the best pick-up and drop-off plan."

"Because the distances are different, the speeds of the spacecraft will be different. We can guarantee that you will arrive at the headquarters on the same day." The staff member smiled and said, "It will take about three years."

All the geniuses nodded, indicating that they understood.

After all this was done, the geniuses disappeared one after another. When all of them left, this plane created by the virtual universe was immediately closed, waiting for the next genius war to begin before it would be reactivated.

……

In the core area of ​​Blood God Star, in a two-story detached courtyard.

Hong Jun opened his eyes, and his consciousness left the virtual universe. Before, in order to go all out to compete for a place in the genius battle, he had entered the virtual universe with all his consciousness, and in reality, he entered a dormant state.

"Taichu Secret Realm, this result has exceeded my teacher's expectations of me." Thinking of his teacher, Hong Jun couldn't help but reveal a smile.

He suffered a lot in his more than a thousand years of life.

He was abandoned by his parents at birth and grew up in an orphanage set up by the lord, eating food that was like pig and dog food.

When he was less than six years old, he was sold to alien slave traders by the lord along with all the orphans in the salesian home.

In the slave trader's training camp, they were castrated and subjected to the most brutal training, and a large number of their companions died in the process. But he survived by chance and grew into a planetary-level slave.

However, what awaits him next is not a happy ending after suffering, but an even darker future.

Slave traders will implant control chips into the minds of these surviving slaves, and then send them to the slave market at a clearly marked price, just like goods.

But on the eve of the implantation of the chip, pirates attacked the planet where the slave traders were training slaves. The cosmic-level chief instructor on the planet was killed by the pirates, and a large number of star-level instructors also died at the hands of the pirates.

The freed slaves scrambled for the spaceship to escape, but he did not take the opportunity to seize the spaceship and escape, but hid underground on the planet. He was betting that the pirates would not take a mere planetary slave like him seriously.

Sure enough, all the spaceships that flew into the sky were destroyed by the space pirates. On the contrary, he, an "ant" hiding deep underground, escaped.

After the pirates had finished their looting and left, he drove an intact spaceship away from the slave planet.

He was free!

The next step is to obtain the identity of a cosmic country and continue to wander in the universe.

At the planetary level, you can only get enough food and clothing in the universe.

He wandered like this for nearly a thousand years, until he broke through to the star level and joined a subsidiary company of the Lian family. Only then was he able to get rid of his identity as a wanderer.

In fact, when he was at the planetary level, he had already comprehended the realm of water. He knew what this meant. As long as he showed his talent, he could easily become a key talent to be cultivated by all the major forces in the Qianwu Universe.

But he did not choose to expose his talent. His past life experiences made him dare not trust anyone. His keen insight made him understand that sometimes showing talent too early is not a good thing.

Some organizations have serious internal strife, and the geniuses they cultivate will also fight each other for resources.

It was not a wise choice for him, a wanderer with no background, to show his talent too early and join those organizations to compete for resources. It was very likely that he would die in a trial by accident because he blocked the way of a genius before he grew up.

Therefore, he has always hidden his talent, kept a low profile, and quietly accumulated resources to improve his strength.

It was not until he broke through to become a stellar-level warrior that his cultivation progress became slower and slower, and it became increasingly difficult to obtain cultivation resources that were useful to the stellar level, that he considered joining a certain force.

Of course, he would not just blindly join any faction. After nearly a hundred years of collecting information, he finally decided to find a way to join the Lian Clan.

Because among the information he collected, Lian's was the best solution within his options.

The ancestor of the Lian family is a super being in the universe. With him as a backer, the Lian family is safe. By joining the Lian family, he can obtain a stable environment for cultivation.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Lian family is strict in family management and strict in clan rules. They are even stricter towards their own clan members than outsiders. If he joins the Lian family, even if he has no background, he does not have to worry about being secretly harmed by the ghost realm.

As long as he showed his strength level a little, he easily became a member of the guard team of Lian's subsidiary company.

After joining the Lian family, he began to slowly show his talents, shocking his superiors time and time again, and his status was promoted again and again.

Until... he revealed his fourth level of water domain!

This directly alarmed the immortal great elder of the Lian family, who personally came forward to accept him as a disciple.

Becoming a disciple of the immortal god, he has since held a transcendent position in the Lian Clan, and while acquiring a large amount of resources, his strength has also grown by leaps and bounds under the guidance of his teacher. Not only has he realized the law of water, but under the guidance of his teacher, he has also embarked on a path of "Illusionary Warrior Flow".

Although... whether it was joining the Lian Clan, showing his talent, or even being accepted as a disciple by the Great Elder, these were all the results of his deliberate design. But in the Lian Clan, under the guidance of the teacher, he felt the warmth of home that he had missed for a long time, and he could also feel the teacher's love for him.

"A gentleman judges deeds, not intentions!" Hong Jun stood up silently. "Whether the teacher looks at me differently because of my talent, or for other reasons. Without the teacher's help, how could I have made it to the Universe Genius Tournament? Maybe I am still in a certain force, quietly accumulating my strength."

He thought to himself, "My teacher should have known that I joined the Taichu Secret Realm!"

The competition of the Universe Genius Battle is broadcast live throughout the universe, and the results are completely public. The list of geniuses who have entered the four secret realms of the Virtual Universe Company has long been spread throughout the universe.

"Given the teacher's personality, he should be very happy right now!" Thinking of the teacher, Hong Jun couldn't help but smile at this moment.

As an immortal god and the great elder of the Lian clan, the teacher has an extremely high status even in the Qianwu Universe. But after getting along with him for a long time, he found that the teacher was actually a very childish person, and his personality was not even as stable as a little guy like him.

As expected, just as Hong Jun stood up, he heard a rumbling sound in the sky. A stream of purple light was faster than the sound and had already landed in his courtyard.

The light faded away, revealing the figure of the purple-robed girl. Hong Jun hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Teacher!"

“Haha…” Lian Qingzhu laughed happily: “You are worthy of being my disciple. You can actually make it into the top ten of the genius battle and enter the Taichu Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company.”

Judging from her expression, she was obviously very satisfied with Hong Jun's performance.

"Hong Jun's achievements today are all due to the guidance and training of his teacher." Facing the teacher's praise, Hong Jun remained calm and there was not a trace of pride in his eyes.

The hardships he experienced in his childhood and the wandering and hardships he had endured in the universe for nearly a thousand years had already enabled him to cultivate his mind to an extremely high level. Even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he would remain calm.

His heart is broader than the universe and the stars.

"You kid, how come you are so young but not arrogant at all? I said you are good, and you are good." Lian Qingzhu laughed again and said, "Of course, your teacher's teachings are also very important, haha..."

When Hong Jun saw how excited and happy his teacher was, he couldn't help but smile.

Soon, Lian Qingzhu stopped smiling: "You are the most outstanding talent in our Lian family over the years, except for the ancestor and Chitong. The ancestor is a senior executive of the Virtual Universe Company. I will take you to meet the ancestor later and ask him to take good care of you."

Lian Qingzhu's words implied that Hong Jun was already a member of the Lian family. In fact, this was a very normal thing, because because of worshipping the Huanling King as her master, Lian Qingzhu had never bred offspring, so there was no direct bloodline of her in the Lian family.

On the contrary, Hong Jun is her disciple. In the universe, the relationship between the master and the disciple is very close.

To be honest, she valued Hong Jun much more than ordinary Lian clan members. Therefore, it was natural for her to regard Hong Jun as a member of the Lian clan.

"Yes, teacher!" Hong Jun agreed respectfully.

While agreeing, he was also secretly thinking: "I wonder who is stronger, the ancestor of the Lian family or the venerable who presided over the genius battle."

……

In the temple of Thunder Island, Lian Luo sat cross-legged.

Suddenly, he opened his mailbox and saw the email sent to him by Lian Qingzhu.

After reading the email, Lian Luo couldn't help but smile in surprise: "Qingzhu said that her disciple made it into the top 10 in the just-concluded Universe Genius Competition and joined the Taichu Secret Realm. Is it the little guy who is good at illusion? I didn't expect that he is Qingzhu's disciple."

"Since you are Qingzhu's disciple, let's meet him!" Lian Luo immediately replied to Lian Qingzhu's email, asking her to bring her disciples over to meet him.

The email was replied not long ago.

Lian Qingzhu then brought Hong Jun and teleported to the square in front of the Lianluo Temple.

"Ancestor!" Lian Qingzhu had already shouted before entering the temple.

But Hong Jun followed her, walked into the temple with his head down, and did not look around.

"Ancestor! (Sir!)" Both of them bowed respectfully.

Lian Luo nodded with a smile: "No need to be polite, get up!"

"Who is this?" Hearing this familiar voice, Hong Jun immediately recalled the venerable who presided over the genius battle. When he raised his head and saw Lian Luo's figure clearly, he completely recognized him: "The one who presided over the genius battle is the ancestor of the Lian family."
