Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 262 The Face of the Underworld

"It's a pity it's in a virtual universe!"

Minghai shook his head, thinking to himself:
"If this were in the real world, powerful figures would surely discover that Hong and Lei Shen have fused more than three Blood Crystals, making them rare 'Blood Warriors.' Coupled with their talent for cultivating the laws displayed in the qualification battle, there would definitely be many King-level Immortals who would want to take Hong and Lei Shen as their disciples!"

Hong and Thor each advanced to a new cosmic realm, while Luo Feng's situation was similar to that of the original timeline.

Although he had recently passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven, he still lost to the werewolf Crove because he had not cultivated for long enough. He ranked second in the Primordial Secret Realm at the Universe level and missed the chance to enter the Primordial Secret Realm.

There was no way around it; Luo Feng had only recently passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, while the werewolf Crove had passed it decades ago, possessing a profound foundation and strength far surpassing Luo Feng's.

However, just like in the original timeline, news soon came that the unlucky werewolf Krov had died, and Luo Feng, who was ranked second, was promoted to first place, entering the Primal Secret Realm without any major incident.

The news of the werewolf Crove's death in the mission world shocked the new members of this year's Genius Battle, including Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor, who were all greatly affected.

Only the Underworld Sea remained completely unaffected.

Yuxiang Mountain, public area.

Xu Xin opened a teahouse with Chinese flavors.

Blood-haired Nether Sea, black-clad Hong, white-robed bald Thor, and black-haired Luo Feng in blood-red battle armor gathered together.

"Brother Hong, Brother Thor!"

After drinking tea for a while, Minghai thought for a moment, looked at Hong and Thor, and asked:
"Should I step in and contact some of the Immortal Kings whose cultivation paths align with yours, and see if they'd be interested in taking you as disciples?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Hong and Thor looked over in surprise.

"rest assured!"

Ming Hai smiled and said:
"Brother, I have some influence, and some immortal kings will give me face. Of course, most importantly, your talents are absolutely qualified to join their ranks!"

"As long as you reveal your true situation, especially your identity as 'Blood Warriors,' many King-level Immortals will surely be willing to take you as their disciples!"

"Brother Ming, you've got a lot of influence now?"

Thor stared wide-eyed at the Underworld Sea in disbelief.

Hong also looked surprised and astonished.

Only Luo Feng remained silent, looking at Ming Hai with immense admiration.

Compared to Hong and Lei Shen, who lacked a master and access to high-level information, Luo Feng undoubtedly had a much wider range of sources of information.

Almost every time I met Zhenyan King, I would hear my master praising the Underworld Sea.

Therefore, Luo Feng knew that Ming Hai had passed through the eighteen levels of the Tongtian Bridge during his time as a Domain Lord, and his understanding of the laws was comparable to that of a King-level Immortal. Sixty years ago, he had already advanced to the Realm Lord level.

During a conversation, King Zhenyan remarked with emotion:
"Based on the talent that Minghai has shown in the past, although he has only been a world lord for sixty years, he is likely to undergo another earth-shattering change. In addition, with his special life body, his current strength is probably no less than that of a true king-level immortal!"

If that's the case, given his inherent strength as a King-level Immortal, coupled with the monstrous talent Minghai has displayed in the past, probably no King-level Immortal would dare to disrespect him.

At the very least, Luo Feng's master, the True King, would give it to him!
Even the veteran and invincible True King is willing to give Minghai face, so which other immortal king would not?

Therefore, as long as Minghai intervenes, Hong and Leishen will almost certainly be able to become disciples.

Seeing the incredulous expressions on Hong and Lei Shen's faces, Ming Hai smiled silently.

"Big brother, second brother, it's true!"

Seeing that Hong and Lei Shen doubted Ming Hai's words, Luo Feng stepped forward and said:

"Grandpa Ming's reputation has spread throughout the entire human race's upper echelons. Almost all the King-level Immortals do not regard him as a junior. Even my master, 'True Yan King,' usually speaks of Grandpa Ming as an equal!"

'hiss'

Upon hearing this, both the lively Thor and the usually composed Hong gasped in shock, staring at Minghai in disbelief.

It took them quite a while to calm down and gradually return to normal.

"As expected of Brother Ming, you truly bring honor to us Earthlings!"

Thor rubbed his bald head and laughed, "Brother Hades, why don't you take me and Brother Hong as your disciples? Anyway, you're older than both of us, and you're still an Earthling, so it's most suitable for us to become your disciples!"

"Appropriate for what?"

Minghai remained silent and said:
"To find the right master, you must choose a powerful figure whose cultivation path aligns with your own, so that you can receive the most suitable guidance!"

“Our cultivation paths are different. It’s just that your current cultivation level is low. Once you pass the tenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, the difference in your cultivation paths will be too great for me to guide you!”

"Yes, Second Brother, stop talking nonsense. Think carefully about which immortal king you want to become your master. Grandpa Ming can definitely help you find a master!"

Luo Feng continued.

Hong and Thor exchanged a glance, then both fell silent.

Minghai picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and waited patiently.

The two men's expressions changed, and they thought for a long time.

"I think so!"

After a while, Thor spoke first:

"The most important thing about becoming an apprentice is fate. It's best if both parties are compatible and find each other pleasing to the eye!"

"I believe in Brother Ming. If you personally intervene, there should be some Immortal Kings willing to take me and Brother Hong in, but...!"

"I don't know why, but I don't like it this way, Brother Hong. What do you think?"

After saying that, Thor looked at Hong beside him.

"I think so!"

Hong nodded and said seriously:

There's an old Chinese saying: "A teacher chooses his student, and a student chooses his teacher; a teacher-student relationship without a connection won't last long!"

"Of course!"

At this point, Hong suddenly smiled and said:

"If I had absolutely no hope of becoming a disciple on my own, I wouldn't have stooped to the point of rejecting a teacher who had been granted the title of King and Immortal!"

"But Brother Ming said that if the human race's powerful figures learned about my and Thor's true situation, many King-level Immortals would definitely be willing to take me as their disciple!"

"Given a choice, I think it's better to let nature take its course and wait for a master with whom I have a true affinity!"

"Brother Hong is right, I think so too!"

Thor then said something.

Minghai nodded.

What they said makes sense.

Finding a master who genuinely appreciates you and actively seeks to take you on as a disciple is definitely better than finding a master recommended by a friend.

After all, with Hong and Thor's talents, they don't need to worry about not having anyone to take them on as apprentices.

Especially Hong, after fusing ten Blood Crystals and becoming an extremely rare 'Black Warrior', not to mention being granted the title of Immortal King, even Universe Venerables would vie to take him as a disciple.

"Once I become a Universal Venerable, I will send Hong to venture into the Illusionary Sea!"

Minghai glanced at Hong and Thor, then thought to himself.

He told Hong Wannian not to venture into the Illusionary Sea because he was worried that the original ownership of Earth in the spacetime would be taken away.

But even Minghai himself didn't expect his growth rate to be so fast.

In just over a hundred years, he gained the recognition of the origin of the laws of space, and his strength was comparable to that of a peak-level immortal king. With the supreme treasure 'Divine Speed ​​Boots', he could even challenge a peak-level immortal king!
At this rate, he will be able to advance to the level of a Universe Venerable in a few hundred years.

Once he becomes a Universe Venerable, with his special life form body with ten thousand times the life gene, as well as the two supreme treasures bestowed by the Lord of Ice Peak, the 'Shadow Armor' and the 'Swift Boots', and the 'Blood Ink Sword' which can be upgraded to a top-tier offensive treasure, he will immediately possess the strength of a Universe Overlord.

After a few hundred years of refinement, creating the ultimate techniques of a cosmic sovereign, or even the ultimate techniques of a cosmic overlord, one becomes a top-tier cosmic overlord!
