Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 97 Choice

Zhou Yang's figure suddenly appeared on the island plaza in the Tongtian Bridge dimension.

"Damn, this fifth level is too difficult! I was instantly killed!"

The opponent on the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge had actually used the fifth level of the Origin Divine Weapon!

Nine weakened versions of the "Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree" instantly appeared all around, forming a massive "Cage of Heaven and Earth"!

The powerful pressure of the laws acted upon him, leaving him no way to dodge.

Almost immediately, he was crushed into minced meat by a 'heaven-reaching divine tree'.

"If I could thoroughly study the essence of the laws contained in the first image of the Chaos Stele, just like Luo Feng in the original story, perhaps I could directly defeat my opponent just now with the fourth level of the Origin God Weapon!"

Zhou Yang pondered to himself.

Suddenly, he sensed that something was off about the atmosphere in the square.

Looking up, he saw pairs of eager eyes converging on him from all directions, as if trying to melt him.

"Everyone, I've gained some insights, time to head out!"

As soon as the voice faded, his figure disappeared into the virtual universe.

"Hmm? This little guy ran off pretty quickly!"

In the sky, where a large group of immortal powerhouses had gathered, smiles appeared on the faces of each of them.

"Hehe, the little guy is quite clever. If we, a large group of immortals, were to express our intention to take him as a disciple at the same time, he would offend a large group of people regardless of which one he agreed to."

It would be better to slip away before we even open our mouths, then we won't have so many reservations about contacting each other privately later!

"Haha, I'm growing to love this little guy more and more, none of you can take him from me!"

"Get in line at the back; I'm here on behalf of His Holiness."

"Haha, everyone, let's see who uses their skills best!"

The great and immortal figures chatted for a while longer before gradually dispersing.

On the rooftop of a three-story residence in Chaos City.

"Zhou Yang, you've received 48 emails... no, now it's over 70, oh no, it's already over a hundred!"

As soon as I exited the virtual universe, Babata's notification sound rang out.

"Babata, help me filter email messages and remind me in an hour."

Zhou Yang said casually.

"clear!"

Babata responded.

"Um."

Zhou Yang nodded, but his mind was already racing.

According to the rules of Chaos City, once you pass through the first level of the Sky Bridge, you can go to the schools of the powerful Kings and Immortals to attend classes.

Passing through the third level of the Sky Bridge grants one the qualification to become an apprentice.

This time, I've managed to pass through the first four levels of the Sky Bridge in one go, which will probably cause quite a stir.

"Zhou Yang, a total of 581 emails were received. After removing some useless greetings, there are 139 valuable emails."

An hour later, Babata presented the compiled email information.

"Of these, 138 are from powerful figures in the Virtual Universe Company expressing their intention to take you as a disciple, and the other is a private email sent by the Nine Swords Venerable."

"Nine Swords Venerable's email? Open it!"

Zhou Yang said.

"good!"

Babata responded.

A light screen appeared in front of Zhou Yang, displaying lines of text.

"Zhou Yang, I originally intended to personally take you as my disciple, but an old friend entrusted me with this task. If you are interested, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to meet Lord Kandri, the guardian of the Chaos Stele. Believe me, he should be very suitable for you—Nine Swords."

"Um?"

Zhou Yang was puzzled. He had thought that the purpose of the email sent to him by the Nine Swords Venerable was to ask him to take on a disciple.

How do you interpret this as someone acting as a lobbyist for another person?

"Lord Candri"

The person mentioned by the Nine Swords Venerable also surprised him slightly.

The guardian of the Chaos Monument only needs to create individual clones to guard the 52 Chaos Monuments for countless epochs.

They can even send out additional clones to explore the secret realm with the Nine Swords Venerable. Their strength is definitely among the top among the Venerable level experts of the human race!

Such a powerful ancient being has now revealed his intention to take on a disciple?

"If it's this guy, I really need to think it over carefully. He's a real big shot."

Zhou Yang was thrilled.

He quickly reviewed the other 138 emails, all of which expressed the intention to take him as a disciple.

Most of them were immortal powerhouses at the King level, and the top few, such as Dark Star King and Life Spring King, were top-tier invincible powerhouses comparable to True Evolution King in the original work!

Furthermore, he received invitations from six cosmic rulers and eight powerful venerable beings.

"124 powerful immortals, 14 cosmic sovereign-level powerhouses, and that mighty Lord Kandri—it's truly a difficult choice."

Zhou Yang was caught in a blissful dilemma.

There were too many powerful people expressing their intentions towards her, and for a moment she didn't know how to choose.

Moreover, these individuals are all at least at the King-level or higher Immortal level, so an inappropriate response could easily offend them.

"Babata, based on the introductions given by the Venerables and Immortals in the emails, please help me select the most suitable ones."

Zhou Yang said.

In order to entice Zhou Yang to become their disciple, those powerful figures also gave a brief introduction to their areas of expertise in the email.

"Received, will be completed soon!"

Babata quickly filtered the information in the email and soon compiled a list of the most suitable experts for Zhou Yang.

"Zhou Yang, based on the information in the email, I have analyzed that there are about thirteen powerful individuals who are suitable for you. These thirteen individuals are all extremely skilled in the two fundamental laws of wood and void, and they are highly regarded in the circle of powerful individuals in Chaos City."

"Among them, there are nine Venerable-level experts and four Immortal-level experts. These four Immortals are all top-tier among the King-level Immortals, and their strength is comparable to the most ordinary Venerable!"

"By the way, I didn't include Lord Kandri. There are very few descriptions of him in the virtual universe, so I can't analyze him precisely. You'll have to consider it yourself."

"Nine Venerable Ones, four of whom are invincible kings."

Zhou Yang quickly browsed the information filtered by Babata.

"Venerable Xuanlan attained his Venerable status through the laws of space, and is also skilled in the fusion and application of the fundamental laws of wood and space. He is a powerful Venerable who walks the path of the Beast God."

"The Venerable Liutong is skilled in applying the fundamental laws of wood."

"Dark Star King, also a top expert who cultivates the 'Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele'."

Zhou Yang flipped through them one by one, firmly memorizing the names of the immortals or venerable ones who moved him.

"Among these powerful figures, I think Venerable Xuanlan or King Anchen would be the most suitable for me."

Venerable Xuanlan is likely the strongest among the great beings who sent him emails, and he follows the path of fusing the laws of wood and void, a broad road leading directly to the Lord of the Universe.

Although King Anchen himself was not a Venerable, he was extremely skilled at teaching disciples.

According to the information Babata found, this Dark Star King even trained a powerful disciple who was no weaker than himself and was at the invincible level of a king!

He has several disciples who have reached the high-level kingship rank.

"Oh, and that Lord Kandri."

Zhou Yang pondered:

"The Nine Swords Venerable himself recommended it, saying it would be very suitable for me, so I'm really considering it carefully."

He quickly made up his mind.

"I just passed the fourth level of the Bridge to Heaven, and now I have four more opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele. I'll use one of them first, and it'll be a good chance to get to know this sir!"

He leaped off the rooftop of his residence and rushed towards the location of the city lord's mansion.
