Swallowing the Stars: Increase your comprehension by one point every day.

Clearly, they knew that this special treasure had a unique effect on them.

Locke Divine Water is an extremely expensive treasure. It can be used not only to cultivate plant life but also to assist in cultivation. It is a rare and highly sought-after item.

Thanks to Gao Xiang being a core member of the Primal Secret Realm, he was qualified to use points to exchange for resources that could not be bought outside.

"Here, take this."

Gao Xiang threw ten tons of Yunzu mother ore to the Star-Eating Grass.

Star-eating plants are extremely rare in the wild. They will frantically devour the surrounding minerals in order to survive and evolve.

As it grew larger, it eventually became so large that it could even devour a planet, hence the name "Star-Eating Grass".

After the ore appeared, the Star-Eating Grass's vines began to sway wildly, like octopus tentacles.

It was excited.

Delicious minerals.

It wrapped the ores with vines over a kilometer long, then remained motionless and began to frantically digest them.

Both plants have limited appetites, so they need to be replenished with resources promptly after they have eaten their fill in order to achieve the optimal solution for evolution.

If the goal is to save money, the worst method can be used, which only requires one percent of the resources, but it may take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to become a world lord.

Gao Xiang couldn't wait that long.

"My goal for the next twenty years is to fully understand the remaining 60 essential principles."

Analyzing the essence of space is too difficult and too complicated.

When Gao Xiang encounters a problem and really can't figure out how to solve it, he will also ask the Dragon Whale King for advice.

"I am Lord Thunder Light!"

Suddenly, Gao Xiang heard a thunderous sound in his mind.

It was the voice of Venerable Thunderlight.

Lei Guangzun is the person in charge of Gao Xiang's current genius battle.

Each Genius Battle is presided over by a Venerable One.

Logically speaking, this batch of geniuses will all belong to the lineage of Venerable Lei Guang after their training period ends.

Unless they are geniuses like Gao Xiang and Ji Feng who have already become disciples along the way, they can choose which lineage their teacher belongs to.

The Virtual Universe Company is full of powerful individuals and factions. In order to have a good career prospect within the company, in addition to one's own talent and strength, a powerful faction is also needed.

Currently, Gao Xiang belongs to the faction of the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom.

Dragon Whale King, Blood Rose King, and Blood Robe King are all from the same faction as the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

The Thunder God in my mind continued, "More than a hundred of you died in this batch. You're utterly disappointing, utterly useless!"

Lei Guang was a hot-tempered man who spoke very harshly and showed no respect to his subordinates.

"You have only one month left before you leave Chaos City. Those who need to cross the Heavenly Bridge, go cross it; those who need to comprehend the Chaos Stele, hurry up and study it!"

After Venerable Lei Guang finished speaking, Gao Xiang and the others finally had some peace and quiet again.

Inside a luxurious mansion in Chaos City, the Thunder Venerable, surrounded by lightning, sat on a high platform.

Five powerful figures sat on either side of him.

These ten powerful figures were all Grandmasters who had been granted the title of King. Upon learning that Venerable Lei Guang had arrived in Chaos City, they immediately hosted a banquet for him.

"Among this group of geniuses, are there any who have shown outstanding performance?"

Although Venerable Lei Guang was the cosmic venerable in charge of this genius battle, he had never paid attention to the growth of these geniuses, let alone knew which geniuses had performed exceptionally well.

For him, hosting a battle of geniuses was just one of the simplest tasks for Virtual Universe Corporation.

He has lived through countless eras and presided over far too many battles of geniuses; he has long since become numb to it all.

So what if you're a genius?

Could he possibly become a supreme being of the universe?

Lei Guang has presided over thousands of genius battles, but he has never produced a cosmic venerable in any of them.

Cosmic Venerables are extremely rare, and many of them, like the Lord of the Qianwu Kingdom, are old Cosmic Venerables who appeared when the human race was just rising.

Quite a few powerful figures who had been granted the title of King had appeared under his command.

"I inform Your Excellency that Gao Xiang is the most dazzling genius of this generation."

"It's him again?" Venerable Lei Guang put down his wine cup, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he didn't want to hear this result.

Lei Guangzun knew that the Genius Battle was only to select the 1000 most talented people.

Many geniuses are born too young to have a chance to showcase their talents, which is why they are ranked very low.

But thirty years after entering Chaos City, they may overtake the first place, or even far surpass it.

Gao Xiang had already become the disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom Lord ahead of time, causing him to lose a disciple for nothing. Naturally, Venerable Lei Guang did not want to hear the news that Gao Xiang was still in the lead.

Whenever Venerable Lei Guang presided over the Genius Battle, if he encountered a promising talent, he would take him on as a disciple and invest a great deal of resources in nurturing him.

"Tell me, how is Gao Xiang a genius?"

"Twenty years ago, Gao Xiang had already passed the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge."

"And now?"

Passing through the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge at a cosmic level is already an extremely monstrous feat.

But having seen so many geniuses, Venerable Lei Guang was no longer surprised.

"He hasn't crossed the overpass in twenty years."

"This little guy has a good temperament." Venerable Lei Guang has seen too many geniuses who would return every few years to try and cross the Tongtian Bridge in order to prove themselves.

To refrain from crossing the Tongtian Bridge for twenty consecutive years demonstrates remarkable patience.

"Who else?" Venerable Lei Guang had already given up on finding a suitable disciple from this group of geniuses.

In his eyes, apart from Gao Xiang, who was suitable to be taken as a disciple, the other geniuses were all mediocre, and their future achievements would at most be a title of nobility.

He, Venerable Lei Guang, would take a second look at any genius with the potential to become a king, and if he found one pleasing, he would take him as a disciple.

A genius with the potential to be granted a title might not be someone that Venerable Lei Guang would necessarily look down upon.

"Ji Feng has risen suddenly in the last ten years and has now passed the third level of the Bridge to Heaven."

"Ji Feng?" Venerable Lei Guang was completely unfamiliar with this name.

At this moment, a Grandmaster who had been granted the title of King explained, "Ji Feng and Gao Xiang are from the same hometown, both from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, but they have now become disciples of the Black Mist King."

"Oh, I didn't expect the Black Mist Queen to have taken on disciples as well. But she's just a Grandmaster-level fighter from the Giant Axe Arena, trying to steal our Virtual Universe Company's geniuses!"

Virtual Universe Company does not have a mandatory rule that their geniuses cannot become apprentices of other factions' Grandmasters.

But what the Black Mist King did was ultimately not a good thing.

"We don't know either, but I see that the two of them, master and disciple, are of one mind, just like mother and daughter."

"Very well, are there any other outstanding geniuses?" Lei Guang Venerable didn't care about Ji Feng, who was just a nobody.

"Joe is doing well, now on the fourth level of the Bridge to Heaven. Sicily, Kazan, and Reja have all already passed the third level of the Bridge to Heaven."
