Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 137 Gu Fenghou: Set a small goal for you

The main gate of the primitive area is even more magnificent than that of the Qianwu Secret Realm. It is amazingly carved out of simple gray rock.

"Your Highness Wang Xiu." The old man with white hair and beard, wearing a white robe, made the surrounding space brighter and warmer. He was like a sun, warming everyone who approached him. "Welcome to the primitive area and become a member of the primitive secret realm."

"Thank you." Wang Xiu smiled and nodded.

"I am Aitoer, the manager of trivial matters in the primitive area." The white-robed old man's hair and beard, whiter than snowflakes, fluttered in the wind. "Your Highness Wang Xiu, please follow me."

Wang Xiu followed Aitor and flew into the air together.

At the main entrance of the primitive area, a group of realm masters who had been following Aitor and bowing respectfully were now whispering about the new arrival, His Highness Wang Xiu.

midair.

Wang Xiu and Aitor were flying in the air. While flying, Wang Xiu looked down and was surprised to feel that from time to time there was a powerful fluctuation of laws coming from somewhere below.

"Your Highness Wang Xiu." Aitor smiled and said, "The Primitive Area is different from the other four areas. There are more immortal gods living in the Primitive Area."

"First of all, every prince of the original secret realm will be equipped with a guard army!" Aitor said, "This guard army will be led by an immortal army leader."

“Moreover, each of the princes of the original secret realm can arbitrarily choose an immortal god teacher who lives in his manor for a long time, so the number of immortal gods here is higher than that of the princes of the original secret realm.”

Wang Xiu couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed, there is an immortal god and a personal immortal teacher in the guard army. Every member of the original area has at least two immortal gods following him.

"Normally, there are 113 manors in the entire primitive area." Aito pointed to the endless manors below, "There are 100 realm lord-level princes, 10 domain lord-level princes, and 3 universe-level princes."

"However, because the new Universe Peak Genius Competition has just ended, there are now three more Star-level His Majesties. Of course, I believe that His Majesty will soon break through to the Universe level. By then, the Primal Secret Realm Qualification Competition will also begin."

"After the Qualifying Tournament, the number of Universe-level His Majesties will return to three."

Aitor said it as if intentionally or unintentionally.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiu immediately felt a liking for the old man with white beard and nodded at him.

The other party said this, obviously to remind himself.

So that I can be mentally prepared.

After all, most of the cosmic princes who entered the original secret realm through the genius battle, very few could defeat other cosmic members of the original secret realm in the qualifying battle for the first time.

After all, in the original secret realm, the talents of every other cosmic genius are unquestionable, and they have practiced for much longer than the "newcomers" who have just joined the core layer of the virtual universe company.

Unless they are truly monstrous and top-notch geniuses, most people enter the original secret realm step by step from the primordial secret realm, or even the heaven and earth secret realm, or even the end of the world secret realm through qualifying battles in the later stage.

……

The two flew through the air.

Manors covering an area of ​​thousands of kilometers were flown over. After a moment, Naedol's flight speed slowed down.

"That Manor No. 114 is your manor, Your Highness Wang Xiu." Aitor pointed to the vast manor.

"Hmm!" Wang Xiu lowered his head and looked down.

The walls of the manor are like continuous mountains, extending continuously to the end of the sight.

In terms of area alone, this manor is larger than the territory of any country on Earth.

Of course, in the vast universe, immortal gods who turn a planet into their own territory can be seen everywhere.

Immortal gods have a divine kingdom, and the divine kingdom is extremely vast.

Therefore, for the immortal gods, it is quite simple to build a manor from a planet.

……

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Aitor and Wang Xiu landed at the main entrance of the manor.

At the main entrance of this majestic manor, there were neatly lined up in formation, and at first glance there were at least tens of thousands of people.

At the front of the many columns stood a thin man completely shrouded in a white robe.

"Your Highness!" The man in white robe bowed slightly.

"Greetings to Your Highness!" The thousands of powerful warriors behind him, whose aura was almost integrated into one body, all knelt down respectfully.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

The tens of thousands of servants all knelt down, extremely humble and respectful.

These servants are specially selected and trained by Virtual Universe Company to serve some of the real core figures of Virtual Universe Company.

For these servants, it is an honor to serve a prince of the original secret realm.

"Your Highness Wang Xiu, this is the leader of your guards—Yufang!" Aitoer pointed at the man in white robes and said, "Yufang is an immortal god who specializes in souls. He is very powerful."

"Among the many 'military leaders' of the universe's armies, he is considered top-notch."

Wang Xiu was a little surprised when he heard this.

Thanks to his teacher Gu Fenghou, and the fact that Wang Xiu is now a member of the Original Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company with terrifying authority, he is very clear about some information in the Original Secret Realm.

Normally, the leader of the guard army of the members of the original secret realm is usually an ordinary immortal military lord, and his strength is just at an ordinary middle level among the immortal military lords.

Those who are too weak cannot provide any protection, while those who are too strong are close to becoming immortal.

For an immortal military lord of this strength, few people are willing to give him a cosmic-level guard.

"Wasn't it arranged by the teacher?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Wang Xiu's mind.

At this time, Yu Fang, who was dressed in a white robe, seemed to see Wang Xiu's doubts, and immediately took the initiative to bow and said: "Your Highness, my teacher is Ji Yaohou."

"Second Brother?" Wang Xiu's eyes showed understanding when he heard this.

Marquis Jiyao was the title given to his second senior brother for generations, and it was exactly what he thought.

"Grandmaster is very concerned about Junior-Master." A voice sounded directly in Wang Xiu's mind, "He is worried that Junior-Master will go out to explore the world when he reaches the 'Domain Lord Level' in the future, so he arranged for someone he can trust to serve as the leader of the guard army!"

"I submitted the application, and since other military leaders were not as strong as me, it was naturally approved."

"By the way, Junior Master, Master has a surprise for you."

"Surprise?" Wang Xiu glanced at the other party, feeling very confused.

However, the white-bearded old man Aitor was still beside him, so Wang Xiu didn't dare to ask too much. He could only nod to indicate that he understood.

"Haha! Your Highness Wang Xiu, Yufang is the leader of your guard and also the steward of this manor. He will tell you other things. I'll leave first. If you need my help with anything, just come to me." Aitor smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Aitao." Wang Xiu also expressed his gratitude.

Then the old man with flowing white hair turned into a ray of light and left instantly.

"Your Highness, please follow me." Yufang led the way.

"Mr. Yufang, did you say that Master has a surprise for me?" At this moment, Aitor was not there, so Wang Xiu asked openly.

"Yes." Yu Fang smiled and nodded, "But my master didn't let me tell you. You will know it later, little uncle. It's in the training ground in front."

……

A moment later, in the training ground of the Original Secret Manor, "Teacher?!"

Wang Xiu stared in amazement at the extremely familiar figure standing quietly in front of him, and his heart seemed to be stirred by a huge wave.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

"Why?" Gu Fenghou turned around and asked with a smile, "Why are you not welcome?"

"Welcome, welcome." Wang Xiu swallowed his saliva and finally reacted. He immediately said, "It's just that I feel a little shocked to see your tall and majestic figure here."

"Haha, don't try that on me." Gu Fenghou glared and pretended to be angry.

"Although I, your teacher, am now under the command of Lord Qianwu, I am also an immortal of the Virtual Universe Company."

"As a member of the Original Secret Realm, the Virtual Universe Company was supposed to assign you an Immortal Teacher."

"I am also immortal, so isn't it natural for me to come here?"

All right, they are worthy of being grandparents and grandchildren.

So you two are of the same lineage?

Listening to that slightly familiar explanation, Wang Xiu felt helpless and complained.

"What? You seem a little unhappy. Or..." Gu Fenghou narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous light, "Do you want to find another teacher to teach you?"

“Uh…” Wang Xiu’s eyes widened upon seeing this, and he quickly waved his hands and said, “Misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!”

"Teacher, you know me. I have always respected you the most."

“That’s enough.” Seeing Wang Xiu’s expression of wanting to prove himself, Gu Fenghou immediately waved his hand and said, “Stop joking and get down to business.”

"Yes, teacher." Wang Xiu immediately stood there obediently.

"You have great talent, much better than your other brothers." Gu Fenghou looked at Wang Xiu and said in a deep voice, "Teacher is not against you worshipping other teachers."

"Every strong person has several teachers in his life. Like me, I have several teachers."

"But if you want to take other strong people as your master in the future, there is only one requirement for a master, and that is that you must be strong enough."

"Better than the teacher!"

"At least, the teacher is confident that the ordinary kings are not as good as me in teaching apprentices. If you take them as your teachers, it will only delay you."

"The reason why the teacher followed me this time is because he was afraid that the other mediocre teachers arranged by the Virtual Universe Company would delay your talent."

Gu Fenghou looked at Wang Xiu and said slowly: "Some people are strong but not good at teaching apprentices."

"These people cannot become disciples either."

"If you can't tell the difference, you can tell me before you become my disciple. I can help you with some advice then."

"Yes, teacher." Wang Xiu was deeply moved when he heard this.

In the universe, the master-disciple relationship is a very strong one.

In a sense, the master-disciple relationship is even stronger and closer than blood ties.

Except for very few people, most teachers treat their students like their own family members.

Of course, this also depends on the person.

Just like there are biological parents who sell their children, everything in the world has its own diversity.

However, Gu Fenghou treated Wang Xiu absolutely impeccably, and he treated his own children no better than he did.

"Hehe." Seeing Wang Xiu lower his head, Gu Fenghou smiled lightly. He didn't say anything else, but changed the subject.

"Disciple, it will take about three years from now until you arrive at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company." Gu Fenghou said with a smile.

"These three years are extremely important!"

"You should know that after you arrive at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, you will be sent to the Initial Universe to practice for thirty years."

"I can tell you very clearly that these thirty years are to lay the foundation for you."

"You have now mastered the first set of sword techniques in the Secret Book of Floating Blood. If you try to break through the Sky Bridge, you should be able to pass the third level directly."

"According to my inference, even Bolan can only barely make it through the first level now."

"In other words, you are already far ahead of them."

"But this is not enough!" Gu Fenghou looked at Wang Xiu, "Your talent is far superior to theirs, and you have me as your teacher to teach you, so it is natural that you can surpass these geniuses."

"You shouldn't set your sights on these geniuses from your class. Even Bolan will no longer be your opponent the moment you comprehend the first set of sword techniques in the Secret Book of Floating Blood."

"One step faster, every step faster. Your talent, understanding and character are not inferior to his. Unless you degenerate, he will not be able to catch up with you."

"Your current target should be the three veteran cosmic-level members in the original secret realm!"

"Did Aidor tell you about the qualifying battle?" asked Gu Fenghou.

"Yeah." Wang Xiu nodded.

"The four secret realms in the core layer of the virtual universe, the qualification battle for universe-level members is held once every hundred years."

"During the thirty years you stayed in the initial universe, roughly a hundred years would have passed in the outside world because of the different speeds of time flow."

"According to the time when the last qualification battle started, it should be about eighty years after you came out of the initial universe that you will have your first qualification battle."

"My request is simple. That is to defeat at least one old member in this qualifying battle and successfully stay in the original secret realm!"

"This is the first small goal I set for you."

Wang Xiu blinked when he heard that. That’s it?
Wang Xiu thought that Gu Fenghou would give him some kind of hellish mission after talking for so long.

Is this the result?

If Wang Xiu remembered correctly, it seemed that in the original storyline, Luo Feng successfully qualified for the original secret realm in the first qualifying battle.

There is no reason why Wang Xiu cannot do what Luo Feng can do.

You know, Wang Xiu’s current realm is comparable to Luo Feng’s realm in the original story line, ten years after he entered the initial universe.

In other words, even if Wang Xiu does not make any progress in the next three years, it is equivalent to having ten years more than Luo Feng.

Ten years, or ten years in the original universe.

Wang Xiu's performance was reflected in Gu Fenghou's eyes.

Gu Fenghou smiled happily: "Not bad, very confident."

"But I remind you that each of the three original cosmic-level members in the original secret realm went through more than one qualifying battle."

“Each of them is a super genius who has stood firm in the primitive secret realm amidst brutal elimination.”

"It's not that no one has challenged them before, but... those people all lost!"

"Teacher, don't worry!" Wang Xiu said confidently, "I will go all out and will definitely be able to complete the goal you set for me!"

"Haha, keep your confidence." Gu Fenghou did not comment, "I will send you the information of those three people later, you can take a look."
