Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 140 Berlan's Transformation, Master and Apprentice Reunite
"You all got here before me!"

Walking over, Minghai chuckled and said.

"We're all new here. A slight error during flight in the dark universe would be equivalent to millions of kilometers in the primordial universe. That's normal!"

Hong said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Minghai nodded.

Looking around, he realized there were only seven or eight hundred people. It would probably take some time for everyone to arrive. Minghai sat down in a window seat and waited quietly.

Chatting with other geniuses to build rapport?
No need!
It wasn't that Minghai was arrogant; he genuinely felt it was unnecessary.

The gap is too big; we don't have a common language.

Moreover, in Minghai's subconscious, all lives that are not his own are food for him...

This is an innate instinct of the strange life form, independent of individual will.

The Underworld can control its own behavior and thoughts, but it cannot reverse the subconscious instincts of life.

Given Minghai's status, if he doesn't take the initiative to greet people, the other geniuses naturally won't come over to try and establish a relationship.

Except for one person.

From the moment Minghai entered the hall, a young man in white sitting by the window stared intently at him.

A moment later, after a struggle on his face, as if he had made a decision, the white-robed youth stood up and walked towards the Dark Sea.

As the young man in white stood up, the noisy chatter in the hall instantly disappeared, and everyone turned their attention to him.

This young man in white was none other than Bolan.

Noticing Berlan's arrival, Minghai turned and gave him a friendly smile.

He certainly doesn't lack basic interpersonal etiquette.

"Underworld!"

Upon arriving at the Nether Sea, Bolan first sighed, then spoke frankly in an extremely sincere tone:
"Before the Genius Battle, I never imagined that such an incredible genius as you would appear in the world. You taught me to respect the universe. Thank you!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Minghai was surprised. He looked Bolan up and down, and seeing that his expression was calm and not feigned, he stood up and smiled:

"Berlan, you're too kind!"

He paused, glanced at the nearly one thousand geniuses watching from the hall, and then said:

"Everyone is an extremely insignificant being in the face of the universe; no one is an exception. Let us all strive to remember this!"

"Thanks for the advice!"

Bolan gave Minghai a deep look, nodded to Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen beside him, and slowly left, returning to his seat.

"interesting!"

Minghai found it quite amusing to watch Bolan's departing figure.

In this original timeline, a peerless genius, due to overconfidence, chose a cultivation path completely unsuitable for himself, thus wasting a great deal of time and ultimately remaining unknown. However, it seems that his appearance caused a significant change in his character.

As a result, the future of Berlan is uncertain.

Forged iron is easier to transform into steel than pig iron!
……

About six hours later, all 1000 people had gathered.

A tall, thin man with red eyes, shrouded in an elegant white robe, appeared in the hall, exuding a powerful and irresistible force that enveloped the 1000 young people present.

Whoosh!
A few minutes later, everyone was led to a strange spaceship that was nearly a thousand meters long, dark blue in color, and resembled a giant fish.

"Everyone, please get on the spaceship!"

The tall, thin man with red eyes said coldly.

1000 geniuses gathered aboard the spaceship.

In the vast hall, a man dressed in a blue battle robe, with a purple scale on his forehead, exuding a profound aura, as if he were one with the space itself, stood before the crowd—the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Meet the Master!"

Minghai stepped out of the crowd and bowed to them.

This scene, witnessed by 1000 geniuses, instantly stirred up a huge wave of emotion.

"what!"

"what?"

"Minghai has actually become the Venerable One's disciple?"

"That's normal. Given Minghai's displayed talent, it's perfectly reasonable for him to be accepted as a disciple by a great cosmic venerable!" ...

Everyone began to whisper among themselves.

"Ok!"

"set off!"

The Nine Swords Venerable glanced at the Underworld Sea, then seemed to notice something. A smile appeared on his lips, but he didn't speak. He simply nodded slightly to him, then glanced at everyone before giving his orders.

Boom~~
With a command from the Nine Swords Venerable, the fish-like spaceship flicked its tail fin and, without any sign of acceleration, instantly disappeared into the dark universe.

"Enter the virtual universe, come to my exclusive dimension!"

A hidden voice reached Minghai's ears. He understood immediately and sent a wisp of his consciousness to log into the virtual universe.

The spaceship contains 1000 geniuses selected through the Genius Battle, and the Nine Swords Venerable is the host of this year's Genius Battle. It's definitely not appropriate for him to have private contact with me in public, so entering the virtual universe is the best way.

Using the authority granted to him by the Nine Swords Venerable, he teleported to a magnificent palace.

The Nine Swords Venerable was sitting in that huge chair, smiling as he looked at him.

"Meet the Master!"

He stepped forward from the sea of ​​the underworld and paid his respects once more.

"good very good!"

Looking at the Nether Sea, the Nine Swords Venerable spoke gently, his heart filled with joy.

He asked Minghai to buy the "Mysterious Void Manual" so that he could first familiarize himself with the essence of the laws and the path of cultivation. He would need to enter Chaos City before he could truly cultivate.

But the Nine Swords Venerable never expected that in just three years in the primordial universe, Minghai not only successfully embarked on the path of analyzing the essence of laws, but also mastered the essence of a spatial law!
Not only that, this disciple is also a special color life form with a hundred times the genetic bonus!

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand how one can grasp the essence of a spatial law in three years.

Special life forms are the darlings of the primordial universe, with an innate perfect compatibility with the laws, and each one can easily become immortal. A great figure like the Nine Swords Venerable is naturally well aware of this.

"Not bad!"

The Nine Swords Venerable smiled and said:
"Your chance to possess a special life form with a hundred times the genetic strength is quite remarkable!"

"Forehead!"

Upon hearing this, Minghai quickly offered a pre-prepared explanation:

"disciple……!"

"You don't need to tell me!"

The Nine Swords Venerable raised his hand to interrupt, and laughed:

"This is your destiny. You don't need to tell your master. As long as your soul is human, that's enough!"

Minghai nodded without saying a word.

As expected, as long as the soul is human, the human race's higher-ups will never bother to inquire about the secrets of any genius within their race.

"With your talent, the best way to cultivate is to follow the path of analyzing the essence of the laws!"

The Nine Swords Venerable continued:
"I've already told you about the situation in Chaos City. These thirty years are the most important stage for you to lay your foundation, so you absolutely cannot delay it!"

"We must seize this opportunity to improve our understanding of the laws of space and strive to fully embark on the path of the essence of the laws!"

"Yes, disciple will remember Master's teachings!"

Minghai answered honestly.

"For specific cultivation, focus on studying the Chaos Stele and the 'Mysterious Void Manual' to grasp the essence of the laws of space as much as possible!"

The Nine Swords Venerable continued:
"Each Chaos Stele represents a cultivation path, but you can only choose once. Which Chaos Stele you choose will directly determine your future, so you must choose carefully!"

"I suggest you choose the Ice Peak Stele. It was created by a great being of our human race who stood at the pinnacle of the universe. It is most suitable for you!"

"Of course, this is just a suggestion. The specific choice is up to you, and I will not interfere!"

At this point, the Nine Swords Venerable glanced at Minghai with some concern.

To be honest, he was somewhat worried that Minghai would choose the most difficult cosmic chaos monument.

After all, the more talented a person is, the more confident they are in themselves, especially a peerless genius like Minghai, who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs.

The human race's high command has a rule that no one, including a master, can verbally advise a disciple when they choose the Chaos Stele; they must never interfere.

Choosing the Chaos Monument means any human genius is free.

Of course, the consequences are entirely borne by oneself.
