Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 961 The Rulers (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
I haven't communicated with teacher Lei Zun.

For a powerful ruler to want to take him as a disciple is like a pie falling from the sky.

He might actually agree on the spot.

However, his mindset is different now.

No matter how strong a ruler is, he cannot compare to a supreme being; they are beings on different levels.

Even if the strongest ruler were to take him as a disciple, he wouldn't be too willing.

So he organized his thoughts and said:
"Senior Blade Emperor, thank you for your kindness."

"However, as far as I know, every legendary genius has the opportunity to become a disciple of a supreme being."

"As long as you can pass the test..."

"So I'm sorry..."

Lynch chose to politely decline.

Upon hearing Lin Qi's refusal, Blade Emperor's handsome face froze for a moment, then turned somewhat gloomy as he said:
“Lynch members, there are many things you may not know.”

“It’s not so easy to become a disciple of a supreme being.”

“In the past, it was very easy for legendary geniuses to become apprentices.”

"But ever since the two supreme beings stopped accepting disciples, the difficulty of becoming an apprentice has increased dramatically."

"Although legendary geniuses all have a chance, as long as they pass the test, they can become disciples of a supreme being."

"However, over the past million years, more than a dozen legendary geniuses have failed, and only one legendary genius has successfully passed the test."

"All the other legendary geniuses failed."

"In the end, I could only take a master from a ruler of the sixth realm of the universe. However, most of my teachers were already rulers themselves and received the best training, but I still failed."

"To be honest, although you have good talent..."

"But among the dozen or so legendary geniuses, he is not particularly outstanding."

"And your teacher is just an invincible one."

"To be honest, the chances of passing the test of the supreme being are extremely slim."

"It's going to fail anyway!"

"It would be more practical to become my father's apprentice."

"The probability of breaking through the sixth realm of the universe in the future is also greater."

After listening, Lin Qi understood a little about what had happened.

I've also gained some understanding of the difficulty involved.

A legendary genius, his talent is no small feat.

His own teacher, Lei Zun, was also among them, and he too failed.

Of those, only one successfully became an apprentice, and he guessed that it was most likely Yan Zun.

Currently ranked as the strongest human race invincible.

It is so difficult to become an apprentice of a supreme being.

However, he is very confident in his talent.

Just because others can't do it doesn't mean he can't.

So he said, "You have to try to know if you can do it."

"Maybe I'll pass the test."

After hearing this, Blade Emperor shook his head and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

He then said, "It's a good thing to have confidence in yourself."

"It seems you won't turn back until you suffer a setback."

"Then I wish you success in passing the test."

"However, the opportunity to become my father's apprentice is not many. If you fail, my father may not accept you as his apprentice again."

"You're on your own!"

Lin Qi nodded and immediately logged off.

After he leaves.

The dark-skinned beauty poured Blade Emperor another glass of wine.

He sipped his wine with a disdainful look and said, "Everyone wants to become the master of the supreme being."

"Everyone says the chances of success are too low."

"Everyone thinks they are the successful one."

"In the end, they failed and came back in disgrace."

"Unfortunately, in the last million years, only Lin Qi has taken the Five Realms of the Universe as his master."

"His talent was the only one that was continuously improved in the later stages."

"Other legendary geniuses, who become top geniuses as soon as they enter the Holy Land, have already been snatched up by the rulers of the sixth realm of the universe."

"A trip to the Abyss Ruins will grant me the opportunity to continue my studies and further enhance my talent, enough to make me a legendary genius."

"However, over the years, only Yan Zun has succeeded. It's just that his requirements are too high."

"Unfortunately, that person won't lower their standards, and no one dares to ask them to."

"Sometimes, for legendary geniuses, coming to the Holy Land might be a mistake."

After saying that, he silently took a sip of his drink.

A large screen was projected in front of them, on which a figure shrouded in endless golden aura appeared.

“Father, I have looked for Lin Qi.”

"He did not agree, but wanted to become the master of the Supreme One."

A cold voice came from the other side:
"That's normal. Legendary geniuses are different from other geniuses."

"They have their own torments."

"If I were in that situation, I would make the same choice."

"There's nothing to criticize."

"Let him try. Even if he fails, he can still become a disciple of us, the sixth realm of the universe."

After hearing this, Blade Emperor leaned back on the sofa and said leisurely:
"Alright, let's see what this genius Lin Qi is capable of."

……

Tianhai is in the center.

Lin Qi opened his eyes in the training ground.

"Whoo~"

He exhaled, recalling the conversation he had just had.

Then, he directly opened the smart device to contact teacher Lei Zun and projected the blue screen in front of him.

A moment later, Lei Zun's majestic face appeared on the other side.

"Lin Qi, what's the matter?"

"teacher……"

Lin Qi recounted what had just happened.

Lei Zun sneered after hearing this: "This Blade Emperor dares to look down on you, a legendary genius."

"Nobody knows how he acquired his invincible strength."

"The Xuanjin Sovereign has more than a dozen offspring, among whom some are talented and some are not."

"And this Blade Emperor's talent can be said to be the worst, as it is a talent that cannot awaken its abilities on its own."

"However, because he was favored by the Xuanjin Ruler, he was given various resources to continuously improve his talent."

“He was forcibly promoted to a star-level genius.”

"He basically did nothing, and all the resources had already been exchanged."

"He advanced smoothly to the fourth level of the Universe Realm, and then spent countless cultivation resources to break through to the fifth level of the Universe Realm."

"Only at the very end did he barely acquire the strength of an invincible being."

"The resources used on him would be enough to train several invincible individuals."

"Moreover, this guy doesn't really like cultivating; he only likes to enjoy himself."

"It has made many people envious, jealous, and resentful."

Lin Qi listened with great interest, never expecting the nickname "Blade Emperor" to be so sharp, and that he was actually a good-for-nothing.
After Lei Zun finished speaking, he added:
"However, the Xuanjin Overlord is indeed quite suitable to be your teacher."

"He is very strong, and his strength ranks among the top among the rulers."

"However, if you are to become the disciple of the highest master, you don't need to worry too much about these things."

"In the coming period, I estimate that quite a few rulers will be looking for you."

"They probably know you want to become a disciple of the Supreme One, so they probably don't have high hopes for you this time."

"It's highly likely that it's just a casual meeting with you."

"They're waiting for you to fail so they can prioritize their dominance."

"Talking more with the rulers won't be a bad thing for you."

Lin Qi nodded and said:
"I understand."

After finishing the phone call with my teacher, Lei Zun.

Lin Qi then threw himself back into cultivation.

Sure enough, before a day had even passed, another being from the sixth realm of the universe came knocking.

However, it was still the representatives of the five realms of the universe who came to meet him. In just a few days, he had already communicated with the five representatives of the five realms of the universe.

On this day, Tianhai was in the center.

Lin Qi sat in the villa when a tall figure in a blue robe appeared out of thin air.

He had a tall and straight body, fair and translucent skin, pale blue scales on his body, and deep green eyes.

The moment he appeared, the entire space changed instantly.

"Whoo~"

The wind stopped, and time and space seemed to stand still.

The figure that entered was the center of the world, with all power and laws surrounding his body.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Qi greeted him:

"The Ruler of the Vast Ocean!"

"Please sit down!"

The Azure Sea Sovereign, clad in a blue robe, saw Lin Qi, his deep green eyes gleaming slightly. He smiled and said:

"Members of Lynch, we meet again!"

Lin Qi nodded. He had met the Cangming Overlord before during the qualifying battle in the martial arts arena; he was one of the several Overlords.

He sat down on the sofa, and Xiao Chan, dressed in blue, skillfully began to brew tea.

Along with a burst of steam, a fragrant aroma of tea also wafted out.

A cup of hot tea was poured out, and Cangming picked up the cup, praised it, took a sip, and said:

“Good tea!”

"In the last thousand years, tea has become popular in our primordial holy land."

"Many members have started drinking tea, and some have even grown their own tea leaves to drink."

"This beverage, which is unique to your Blue Star civilization, also has its own special features."

"Drinking it can calm the mind, boost spirits, and even inspire wisdom."

"If a low-level martial artist takes it, it might temporarily and significantly improve their comprehension, leading to great progress on their martial arts path."

"To them, it's a rare and precious treasure."

Lin Qi smiled and said, "You flatter me, Lord Cangming."

"However, you are also the first ruler to come and see me."

After hearing this, the Lord of the Azure Sea laughed and said:

"Maybe it's because I have higher hopes for you."

“After all, I am Tishie’s elder, and I have watched you surpass her and eventually become a legendary genius.”

He put down his teacup and sighed:

"At first, I thought you were just an ordinary star-domain level genius."

"Tishie will definitely be able to surpass you all."

"I didn't expect you to improve so quickly."

"Not only have you surpassed Tishie, but you have also surpassed all the other top geniuses."

"In the qualifying rounds, they achieved a perfect record."

"The same is true in the Abyss Ruins."

"Now he has become a legendary genius."

"So we'd also like to get to know you, this genius."

"And I really want to take you as my disciple."

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Thank you for your high regard, Lord Cangming."

"However, I also wish to become your disciple."

The Azure Sea Ruler laughed nonchalantly:

"It's nothing. I'm just here to get to know you, this genius."

"With your talent, you will become a master sooner or later."

Lin Qi took a sip of hot tea and said:

"Then I must cultivate diligently and strive not to disappoint my senior's expectations."

After hearing this, the Lord of the Azure Sea laughed and said:

There's something you might need to pay attention to.

"I heard that you killed many geniuses from the five races in the Abyss Secret Realm."

"All the items in their source core world will become your spoils."

"And you probably had the Protoss scan all of these spoils."

Lin Qi nodded and said, "That's right."

"Although most of them were scanned, some things were still not scanned."

The Azure Sea Ruler smiled, and in the next instant, endless laws were mobilized by him.

Before the two of them, a vast starry sky appeared, as if the universe had been compressed into it.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Although the Protoss are intelligent life forms that govern the entire Primordial Holy Land."

"It possesses the largest database in the entire human race, recording almost everything that has appeared in our human history."

"But she is only human, and she is not omniscient."

"There are also many things she doesn't know, and she needs to be updated frequently."

"The universe we live in is extremely vast and boundless; no one knows how big its boundaries are."

"It is said to be the universe of myriad races, but in reality, there are more than tens of thousands of races."

"Some races don't even have many lives, but their talents are all incredibly powerful."

"Before the rise of our human race, some powerful beings were also born, and many of them were even supreme beings."

"They left behind many legacies in the universe, including crafted treasures and rare materials."

"As time goes by, they may have ended up among the top races or in some corner of the universe."

"They might be hiding in the core world of some powerful life form."

"You can go back and thoroughly examine those items that the Protoss can't detect."

"Perhaps there are some mysterious opportunities hidden inside."

"Many geniuses have benefited from this opportunity."

"It's just that most geniuses don't choose to reveal themselves."

"Therefore, you can hardly see such information in forums."

"Your teacher may not be entirely clear about it either."

"Perhaps only someone like me, who has lived for so long, understands this quite well."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Is this even possible?!
He acquired quite a few fragments, as well as some miscellaneous items.

If there is truly a precious legacy, then we've struck gold.

The Azure Sea Ruler laughed:

"Of course it's true."

"However, whether you can gain anything from it depends on yourself."

"But even if you don't, don't be discouraged."

"I should still focus on my own cultivation."

"What you need to improve is your understanding of the laws."

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

……

Several hours later, the entire villa returned to calm.

The overwhelming pressure began to dissipate.

Because the Lord of Cangming has already departed.

Only Lin Qi remained in the villa. They spent several hours exchanging simple words and did not discuss the matter of becoming apprentices again.

Among them, the Azure Sea Ruler revealed many things that even geniuses didn't know, many of which were unknown to their teacher, Thunder Lord.

Indeed, some things can only be known by reaching a certain level of understanding or living long enough.

Compared to the Azure Sea Ruler, even Teacher Lei Zun is a young man.

However, his mind instantly entered the source core world, and the next instant, several large metal boxes appeared in front of him.

When you open it, you'll find fragments of different colors and materials inside.

And these are all items that the Protoss cannot detect.

He hadn't been properly tested before.

Now, reminded by the Azure Sea Ruler, he felt he needed to take a closer look.
