The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace in the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 39 Taking on Apprentices

Virtual universe, the Bridge to Heaven dimension.

Beside Li Yang, Xiao Zi clapped her hands and said, "This star has indeed passed the seventh level! Master, I told you to come and see, you weren't disappointed, were you?"

Li Yang nodded. "Of all the genius battles in the past few years, this little guy named Xingchen is indeed the most powerful. I just checked, and the best among the 1000 geniuses in the last competition, even after cultivating in Chaos City for 30 years, still couldn't break through to the fifth level, stopping at the fourth level, right?"

"Yes, Master. According to my statistics, on average, only one genius can pass the fifth level in 100 genius battles. Xingchen chose the Cosmic Chaos Monument, which is even more difficult, but he actually passed the seventh level. Analyzing the essence of time and space, with Xingchen's talent, he might have a sliver of hope to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe!" Xiao Zi replied.

"Moreover, Xingchen's progress is also astonishing. When he first entered the initial universe, he could only pass through the first level of the Heavenly Bridge. Now, in just 30 years, he has passed through the 7th level."

Li Yang and Xiao Zi were exchanging words here when many immortals from the Tongtian Bridge plane disappeared, clearly going to report to the Venerable One behind them.

It seems that these immortals also understand that they cannot recruit such a genius on their own.

Soon, apart from Li Yang in the sky, only the guardian Baffin remained on the entire island!

He then secretly began sending out mass emails, urging others to report on such an extraordinary person, as this would be a significant achievement for him.

……

Li Yang and Xiao Zi left quickly afterward. He had seen Xingchen's performance, and that was enough for him!

Even if the stars are extraordinary, for Li Yang, one of the greatest beings in the human race, the fact that he could spare a sliver of his consciousness to enter the virtual universe and observe them was already a great honor.

Moreover, Li Yang has a fundamentally different mindset compared to other universe masters of the human race.

For other universe lords, taking on disciples and training them is a way of cultivating powerful individuals for their race and making contributions to the race.

However, for Li Yang, recruiting and cultivating strong individuals is his core interest, as it directly relates to the growth of his comprehension and is something he strives for himself.

One is for the sake of the community, the other is for the sake of oneself.

Therefore, Li Yang values ​​every genius highly. He has decided to take Xingchen as his disciple.

"Xiao Zi, send an email to Xing Chen and ask if he would be willing to become my disciple!"

……

Meanwhile, in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe, inside the City Lord's Mansion.

In the Chaotic Void Courtyard.

This place is a hidden world, resembling an incredibly terrifying ancient battlefield ruin.

In this courtyard, one can see the corpses of powerful figures everywhere. Some of the corpses are only a few meters in size, while others are like stars. Each corpse contains a terrifying and heart-pounding aura.

Among the many corpses stood a burly man about three meters tall. He wore an extremely complex and ancient dark red battle armor, battle shoes, and a tail covered in scales similar to Li Yang's Purple Cocoon Beast.

It is none other than the ruler of the Virtual Universe Company who guards Chaos City, the Lord of Chaos City.

The man, clad in dark red armor, had two fiery red horns on his forehead and his face was covered with strange, mysterious patterns, making him look incredibly fierce. At this moment, his eyes, as calm as the vast ocean, were deep in thought.

"That little guy Xingchen comprehends the laws of time and space as easily as drinking water; his progress in just thirty years is incredibly rapid!"

"It seems he possesses extraordinary talent in the laws of time and space. When he entered Chaos City, I examined him but found nothing. Was he hiding it too well? Probably not. It's probably just his innate talent! He does resemble Tian Shi back then."

"Moreover, his understanding of secret techniques is also very thorough, and he has extraordinary talent in combat! To be able to use the Heaven-Opening Technique of the Divine Weapon at the cosmic level is truly remarkable." The Chaos City Lord thought, "If he continues down this path, not only will the Venerable have a chance, but there might even be a slight possibility of advancing to the position of Universe Lord."

The Lord of Chaos City had a sudden thought.

"Why don't I take him as a disciple on a voluntary basis, and then, once he has passed through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain (a realm lord level), I can take him as my personal disciple, thus cultivating another powerful figure for the clan!"

The Lord of Chaos City thought to himself. Suddenly, a tall, powerful human figure, about ten meters tall, walked in. Who else could it be but Li Yang?

"Heavenly Eclipse, what brings you here!" The Chaos City Lord greeted him with a smile.

The two stood face to face, smiling and greeting each other. The invisible aura emanating from these two powerful figures caused ripples to spread through the surrounding space.

"City Lord, I've heard that a genius named 'Star' has emerged in this Genius Battle, and I wish to take him as my disciple!" Li Yang stated his purpose directly.

"Eclipse, I just saw your shadow in this little star. I didn't expect you to come to me asking to take me on as a disciple so soon."

The Lord of Chaos City had a sudden thought and instantly realized that the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace had watched the little guy Xingchen cross the Heavenly Bridge. It seemed that Heavenly Eclipse Palace sincerely wanted to recruit disciples!

"Excellent!" the Chaos City Lord replied cheerfully. "Given your protective nature, this little fellow is truly fortunate to have you as his master!"

For the Lord of Chaos City, taking on disciples was also for the sake of the human race. As long as he could cultivate strong individuals for the human race, he would not care who took on his disciples. He was a completely selfless patriarch, which is why the Lord of Chaos City had such high prestige among the lords of the universe.

Tian Shi had previously studied the Chaos Monument of the Universe, so his understanding of the laws of time and space was profound enough. Moreover, with Tian Shi's current level, he was even capable of guiding the Lord of the Universe. Therefore, the Lord of Chaos City had no need to worry that Tian Shi would mislead his disciples.

The latest novel is first published here!

……

In the initial chaotic city of the universe, Xingchen sat cross-legged on the rooftop of his cultivation room, contemplating his experience and lessons learned from his failure on the eighth level.

"Given my achievement of clearing the seventh level, I should have received quite a few emails from powerful beings," Xingchen said with a smile to her AI assistant. "Xiao Xing, open my virtual email account!"

Xiao Xing immediately opened Xingchen's virtual email account, and a series of email notification messages came in.

"Master, you have received a total of 538 emails and 12 call requests!"

"Yes," Xingchen nodded slightly.

He knew that his performance on the Tongtian Bridge was outstanding and would definitely attract many powerful figures to take him as a disciple, but he was also proud and arrogant, and he insisted on choosing the strongest master.

Xingchen immediately separated a portion of his consciousness and entered the virtual universe.

In the virtual universe, on Rain Mountain, Xingchen sat cross-legged in his own private space, with the Immortal Military Lord, sent by the Virtual Universe Company to instruct him, standing beside him. Xingchen was staring intently at the screen in front of him.

There were 538 emails on the screen, most of them from the Cosmic Venerable, as well as some powerful King-level invincible experts. There were also a dozen or so emails from his friends from the same year of the Genius Battle.

The 12 call requests were also sent by these friends.
