Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 130 Becoming an Apprentice

On Rhine Star, you may not know the countless powerful cultivators who come here to cultivate, or even the occasional world lord.

Even world lord-level powerhouses wouldn't dare to make a move on Rhine Star.

But you absolutely cannot fail to know the master of Rhine Star.

Long before arriving on Rhine Star, Yang Wu had already learned a lot about Rhine Star's master, "Latte," which is why he chose Rhine Star as his training ground.

Therefore, Yang Wu recognized Latte as soon as it came to his side.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Yang Wu quickly stood up and greeted him with a slightly respectful air.

As for the rule of not making any noise in the Flaming Mountain? The master of Rhine Star is right in front of us, what rules are we talking about?

Latte glanced at the other powerful individuals cultivating around them and said with a smile, "Let's not disturb everyone, let's go outside and chat!"

Yang Wu nodded, and then followed Domain Lord Latte towards the entrance to the World Lord's World.

Meanwhile, Hei Ming, the Domain Lord who was cultivating not far from Yang Wu, was startled when he saw Latte approaching Yang Wu. He quickly stopped cultivating and left the Realm Lord World.

However, Hei Ming clearly did not dare to follow Latte, so he could only return to his villa to wait for Yang Wu's news.

Yang Wu, on the other hand, followed Latte to a very large villa.

"Yang Wu, I've been observing you for a long time!"

Latte looked at Yang Wu seriously and said with a smile, "Since you came to Rhine Star, you've been cultivating in Flame Mountain. Even if you only rest for a day, you always reappear quickly the next day. There aren't many people on Heng Star with your perseverance!"

Yang Wu listened attentively to Latte's words, but was secretly surprised.

In my experience with simulators, I didn't encounter Latte until two years later.

"Could something have changed?" Yang Wu wondered to himself.

Suddenly, Yang Wu realized something.

"That's right. In the simulator, I only reached the fifth level two years later. Now that I've broken through much faster, it's no wonder they noticed me much sooner!"

Sure enough, after praising Yang Wu, Latte finally revealed his purpose for coming.

"Haha, after all this talk, I haven't even introduced myself yet!"

Latte smiled and said, "In this Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, although many people know that my father is an immortal god, very few know his true identity!"

"My father is one of the three hundred marquises personally appointed by the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, the Marquis of Jinguang."

Latte's calm voice was already slightly excited, "My father is the youngest Marquis-level Immortal in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Even among the tens of thousands of Immortals in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, he can be ranked at the top."

"A Marquis-level Immortal?" Yang Wu was slightly surprised.

After watching the simulation, Yang Wu thought that Latte's father was just a military-level immortal, but he didn't expect him to be ennobled as a marquis.

Although the number of powerful kings and marquises in the universe is largely exaggerated, all three hundred kings and marquises in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom possess at least the strength of an immortal marquis.

That person is even stronger than Huyanbo.

Of course, Hu Yanbo also has a Marquis-level immortal under his command, the "Iron Sword Marquis," and if they were to actually fight, the outcome would be uncertain.

"Yang Wu, would you be willing to become my father's disciple?"

After explaining the status of Marquis Jin Guang to Yang Wu, Latte asked very seriously.

"Although my father didn't achieve immortality by fully comprehending the laws of fire, it is the laws of fire that I cultivate. My father has also prepared many secret techniques for me, invaluable in nature. As long as you become his disciple, he can impart all of these secret techniques to you!"

Latte said with great anticipation.

"Lord Latte, I have a question," Yang Wu said, looking at the other man, "What do I need to do if I become your father's apprentice?"

At this moment, unlike his choices in the simulator, Yang Wu was indeed somewhat tempted.

He has a simulator, and if he has a powerful backer, his experience in the simulator will probably be much safer.

Moreover, in the last simulation, the person who ultimately killed Yang Wu was definitely not Latte. Because if Latte wanted to deal with Yang Wu, given his background, there was absolutely no need for him to wait until Yang Wu left Rhine Star before taking action.

Secondly, and most importantly, if Yang Wu could become Jin Guanghou's disciple, he would have a very strong background before the Genius Battle, making things much easier for him in the future. He might even be able to find the murderer who killed him in the simulator.

Furthermore, based on Latte's experiences in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield over the past 20,000 years, one can roughly discern that Jin Guanghou is a decent person.

"You don't need to do anything, just focus on your cultivation!"

Latte seemed to sense Yang Wu's interest and said directly, "My father wants to take you as his disciple, hoping to cultivate a strong person for humanity. After becoming his disciple, you can still cultivate here in Flaming Mountain. Moreover, I have a powerful Realm Lord who has been recognized by the Law of Flame by my side. You can ask him for guidance if you have any questions."

"Your luck isn't that great. The Cosmic Ultimate Genius Battle is about to begin in a few years. Otherwise, with your talent, breaking into the top 1000 of the Qianwu Universe would be a piece of cake. You even have a very good chance of breaking into the top 1000 in the entire universe!"

"But you don't need to worry too much!"

"Besides the Genius Battle, the five major powers and our Qianwu Universe Kingdom have many other ways to attract geniuses. As long as you can maintain your current cultivation speed, even if you don't break into the top 1000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, your father can still send you to the Qianwu Secret Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu simply smiled and didn't say anything.

His target is Luo Feng!

That's a goal that's countless times more difficult than being ranked in the top 1,000 in the entire universe!

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say!" Latte's expression gradually turned serious. "I wonder, Yang Wu, would you be willing to become my father, Marquis Jin Guang's, disciple?"

"Lord Latte, I am willing to become Marquis Jin Guang's disciple!" Yang Wu nodded in agreement.

For Yang Wu, becoming Jin Guanghou's disciple was entirely beneficial.

Furthermore, after becoming an apprentice, Yang Wu is less likely to encounter unexpected events in the next simulation. The longer he survives in the simulator, the greater his chances of breaking into the top 1,000 in the universe!

Therefore, although Jin Guanghou did not achieve immortality through the laws of fire, Yang Wu still agreed to become his disciple.

At the very least, it gave him a powerful background! If Yang Wu had already become Jin Guanghou's disciple before the last simulation, he probably wouldn't have died so young.

"Great! Yang Wu, you can call me Senior Brother from now on!"

Upon hearing Yang Wu agree to become his apprentice, Latte was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Yang Wu, come with me into the virtual universe, let's go to Golden Light Island together!"

Latte knew the importance of striking while the iron was hot. If a genius like Yang Wu were discovered by other powerful figures, they would all vie to recruit him. The safest course of action was to take advantage of the fact that the people in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region were still relatively inexperienced and ensure that Yang Wu could successfully become an apprentice as soon as possible.

……

Five minutes later, Yang Wu and Latte appeared together on Golden Island in the virtual universe.

"Yang Wu, your father is currently training on the battlefield outside the domain, and it will take him quite some time to return. So, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to become an apprentice in the virtual universe for now!" Latte said with a slight hint of apology on his face.

Generally speaking, when an immortal powerhouse takes on a disciple, they invite friends and family to witness the ceremony in real life. While there are some cases like this, it is extremely rare.

However, Latte wanted to finalize things as soon as possible, and the cost of Jin Guanghou rushing back to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom was quite high, so he had no choice but to become an apprentice in the virtual universe first.

Anyway, Yang Wu is only at the Hengxing level now, and he has a long future ahead of him!

Yang Wu, however, didn't care about any of that. His most important reason for becoming an apprentice was to gain a powerful background; it didn't matter if they didn't meet in real life!

And so, Yang Wu met his new teacher in the virtual universe, the youngest Marquis-level immortal in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the Golden Light Marquis.

"So you are Yang Wu?" Marquis Jin Guang sat in the main seat, his eyes seemingly reflecting the rising and falling stars.

"I humbly request that you accept me as your disciple, Master!" Yang Wu knelt respectfully and shouted.

"After achieving immortality, I have only taken on seven disciples in the tens of thousands of years since then."

Marquis Jin Guang's gaze fell upon Yang Wu, and he said solemnly, "Yang Wu, from today onwards, you are my eighth personally instructed disciple! I hope you can go further on the path to becoming a powerful figure!"

"Disciple greets Master!"
