Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 154: The Venerables Fight (Two Chapters, Words)

The end of the ninth floor of Tongtian Bridge.

In this level, Wang Xiu chose the controller.

The blue-clothed man on the ninth floor was performing the sixth level of the divine weapon, “World of Sword”, but it had already reached the level of perfection.

Under the control of the man in blue, the vast world of swords condensed into a huge crystal sword.

The giant crystal sword activated the original law, and its enormous power easily blocked the sword in Wang Xiu's hand, and then with a sweep, it easily killed Wang Xiu.

Ninth level, defeat!
……

Chaos City, on the rooftop of the training residence.

"I didn't expect that I would be defeated so easily on the ninth level." Wang Xiu shook his head.

The gatekeeper on the ninth floor is much stronger than the gatekeeper on the eighth floor.

Although Wang Xiu could also use the sixth level of the Yanshen Weapon, the sixth level of the Yanshen Weapon that Wang Xiu used and the sixth level of the Yanshen Weapon that the ninth-level gatekeeper used were like two completely different things.

Even the specific forms are different.

Wang Xiu knew that the giant crystal sword was the third level of the "Sword World" of the sixth level of the Yanshen Weapon, and it was also a symbol of mastering the sixth level of the Yanshen Weapon to perfection.

The sixth level of the Yanshen Weapon that Wang Xiu displayed was still in the first level. Although his close combat capability was far superior to that of its controller, it was only similar to the second level of the sixth level of the Yanshen Weapon.

There is still a long way to go before reaching the most perfect state of the sixth level of the Divine Weapon, so it is not surprising that he lost.

“Well, after passing the eighth level, I have one more chance to comprehend the Chaos Monument. I will use it directly and then return to the original universe with the insights.” Wang Xiu stood up, jumped off the rooftop, turned into a phantom and rushed towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

……

Virtual universe, Tongtianqiao plane.

On the beautiful island, the guardian Baffin was stunned for a moment, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly returned to normal.

"Everyone, I have news to tell you now." Guardian Baffin laughed out loud as he looked at the many geniuses who were queuing up in the square waiting to cross the sky bridge.

"information?"

"what news?"

"Could it be that someone has crossed the Tongtian Bridge again?"

"may be……"

Upon hearing this, the many geniuses who were still waiting in the central square of the island couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Not far away, Luo Feng, who was about to cross the sky bridge, couldn't help but stop and look in the direction of the guardian Baffin.

He wanted to know whether Wang Xiu had passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge.

Although there were many people trying to cross the Tongtian Bridge before, Luo Feng only cared about Wang Xiu.

At this moment, Bolan was also looking in the direction of the Guardian Baffin.

Seeing that almost everyone was looking at him, Guardian Bafen nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile:
"Everyone, just now, Wang Xiu has passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire central square of the island was instantly filled with discussions.

"The eighth level of Tongtian Bridge? Oh my god, this is too strong, isn't it?"

"I've only just made it to the second level of Tongtian Bridge... Is Wang Xiu really coming to Chaos City for the first time like me?"

"I'm a bit stronger than you, but I've only just made it to the third level... Compared to the eighth level, the gap is far, far greater."

……

Amidst many surprised discussions, Luo Feng just smiled calmly.

He had already been mentally prepared for Wang Xiu's strength.

After hearing that Wang Xiu had passed the eighth level, Luo Feng was not shocked at all. Instead, his desire to catch up with Wang Xiu became even stronger.

"The eighth floor?" Luo Feng grinned, "You are indeed Brother Xiu."

"But I won't let you leave me too far behind!"

As he spoke, he transformed into a stream of golden light and rushed towards the Jiuyutong Bridge.

……

Different from Luo Feng's sudden excitement, Bolan, who was waiting in line in front of the Universe Bridge, fell into silence.

Different from Luo Feng.

Since he first came to Earth, Luo Feng has never defeated Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu has always been just a target for him to pursue.

For Luo Feng, Wang Xiu's improvement in strength was not something difficult to accept. Instead, it aroused his fighting spirit.

But Bolan was different.

Bolan has been a genius since he was young. He has fought all over the entire Noah Universe, and even most of the human territory, and has never had any rivals.

Even Wang Xiu was defeated by Bolan at the beginning.

Ever since losing to Wang Xiu in the genius battle, Bolan has been holding back a desire to surpass Wang Xiu again.

After arriving at Chaos City, Bolan chose the Cosmic Chaos Monument, one of the two most powerful Chaos Monuments.

Moreover, he ignored everyone's advice and insisted on comprehending the original laws of time and space at the same time.

In the cosmic school, everyone will comprehend the two fundamental laws of time and space at the same time.

But most people have a preference, either towards space or time.

Only a small number of people would choose to advance time and space simultaneously and combine them with cultivation.

Time and space are the two superior laws in the universe. When time and space work together, their power is far greater than that of a single superior law.

But at the same time, the difficulty of understanding is also much higher.

It is extremely difficult to comprehend any of the two superior laws. Among them, the law of the origin of time is elusive. In terms of the difficulty of comprehending, it is even higher than the law of the origin of space.

If you try to comprehend the two fundamental laws at the same time, the two laws may even interfere with each other. You can imagine how difficult it is to make them advance at the same pace.

Even in the entire history of mankind, there are very few people who have achieved success by following this path.

There is no doubt that Bolan has a talent for space, but his talent for the laws of time is much inferior.

This is also the reason why Bolan’s teacher advised him to take the path of the law of the origin of space.

However, at that time, Bolan was young and hot-headed, and he was determined to surpass Wang Xiu completely. He simply refused to listen and insisted on doing things his own way.

But now, hearing the news that Wang Xiu had passed the eighth level, Bolan suddenly became confused.

"If I had listened to my teacher at the beginning and taken the path towards the origin law of space, my strength should be much stronger now, right?"

"Even if I can't get through the eighth floor, I should have gotten through the sixth floor a long time ago..."

Bolan's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he seemed to have made some kind of decision.

……

Chaos City, in the palace of King Zhenyan.

King Zhenyan, King Tongnan, and King Longyu were chatting casually together, very happy.

"Huh?" King Longyu stood up suddenly, a look of shock on his face.

"What's wrong?" King Zhenyan also stood up and looked at King Longyu with a frown.

"Did something happen?" King Tongnan also stood up and looked at King Longyu with concern.

"Wang Xiu has just passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge." King Longyu said in a dry voice as he looked at the two of them.

"The eighth floor?" King Tongnan and King Zhenyan were equally surprised when they heard this.

If Wang Xiu had been practicing for thousands of years, or even hundreds of years, and had passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge, they might be surprised, but they would not be so shocked.

You know, even if you include the years before Wang Xiu entered the Virtual Universe Company, his current cultivation time is no more than a hundred years.

And Fito, the most powerful member of the original secret universe-level members of the Virtual Universe Company, has only just passed the eighth level.

But Fito has been practicing for thousands of years.

Is Wang Xiu’s one hundred years of practice equivalent to others’ thousands of years of practice?

This terrifying speed of cultivation has surpassed the category of peerless genius or even evildoer. This is a monster, a big monster among peerless geniuses!

Even though the current Wang Xiu is still slightly inferior to Cotty in history, his cultivation speed is not much different from Cotty's.

"Another Coty-level genius?" King Zhen Yan looked complicated.

In terms of emotions, he is of course closer to his disciple, Luo Feng.

Moreover, Luo Feng’s talent was not bad either, he could be described as a genius that appeared once in a million years in the Jiuyu School.

But compared with Wang Xiu, it is far behind.

One is a genius that appears once in tens of millions of eras in the entire human race, while the other is a genius that appears once in thousands of eras in the Jiuyu School.

You can tell they are not on the same level as soon as you hear it.

"My disciple, living in the same era as such a genius is both your luck and your misfortune." King Zhen Yan sighed in his heart, "I hope you can bear it."

King Zhen Yan, who was also a genius when he was young, knew very well how much pressure the appearance of an extraordinary genius among his peers would bring to the other geniuses of the same generation.

However, King Zhen Yan was of little help, so Luo Feng had to rely on himself to adjust his mentality.

However, King Zhenyan did not expect that Luo Feng, whom he was worried about, not only had no problems, but his fighting spirit became even stronger. "Zhenyan, Tongnan, it's urgent. I must report this to the Venerable immediately." King Longyu suddenly said quickly, "I will report it to the Venerable first."

"Well, we have to tell the Venerable." King Zhen Yan reacted, "I guess once this news spreads, there will be many Venerables who want to win over Wang Xiu."

"Yes." King Longyu nodded, and then quickly separated a trace of his consciousness into the virtual universe.

This time, King Longyu did not choose to go directly to see the Nine Swords Master, even though the other party was in Chaos City at that time.

But before leaving, Venerable Nine Swords had already told King Longyu that he was going to discuss important matters with an old friend.

King Longyu could only choose to inform the Nine Swords Master in the virtual universe.

Anyway, at their level, their consciousness is already extremely powerful, and they can enter the virtual universe by just separating a strand of consciousness.

……

Chaos City, City Lord's Mansion, in the secret room for practicing the Heart Mark Chaos Monument.

Wang Xiu sat cross-legged in front of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, completely immersed in the understanding of the laws.

The opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Monument is very precious, and each time you comprehend the Chaos Monument you only have seven short days.

So Wang Xiu directly turned off the "virtual universe network reception" to prevent anyone from disturbing him.

In the secret training room, a faint chaotic air flow was floating around, and Wang Xiu's entire consciousness was immersed in the world of laws.

Little did he know that he had already caused a big storm.

……

In the virtual universe, on Thunder Island, inside the temple of the Nine Sword Master.

The Nine Swords Master, wearing a green battle robe and with purple scales on his head, was standing there with a frown on his face.

"Your Excellency, this Wang Xiu is truly terrifying. I have read his profile.

Wang Xiu is extremely young, and it has not even been more than a hundred years since he was born.

Moreover, Wang Xiu was born on an indigenous planet where the cultivation was extremely primitive, and he had never met any good teachers before he was thirty years old.

About six years before the start of the Genius War, he was absorbed into the Qianwu Secret Realm of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and was accepted as a disciple by Gu Fenghou.

It was also from that time that Wang Xiu's strength began to make its first rapid progress.

After entering Chaos City, his strength soared again!

In just thirty years since entering Chaos City, he has already passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge!

With this rate of progress, he is definitely a peerless genius that appears once in tens of millions of epochs. Other cosmic masters and cosmic rulers will definitely be willing to accept Wang Xiu as their disciple.

By then, the master-disciple relationship... Wang Xiu may be under someone else's command in the future, Your Excellency, you can't hesitate any longer." King Longyu stood aside anxiously.

The Nine Swords Master stretched out his hand and pressed lightly.

King Longyu's words were stuck in his throat and he dared not say any more.

"I understand." The Nine Swords Master nodded.

“But…” King Longyu was anxious.

King Longyu is the first king-level immortal under the command of Venerable Jiujian, so Venerable Jiujian will treat King Longyu very kindly.

The two would often discuss some issues.

Although it was often the Nine Swords Master who gave the orders...but the armies under his command were usually coordinated and led by King Longyu.

The Nine Swords Master shook his head and smiled: "How could I not know? Wang Xiu's progress speed is almost the same as Cody's back then. Cody is a genius that appears once in tens of millions of eras. Even if Wang Xiu is not a genius that appears once in tens of millions of eras, he is not far behind."

"But if you look at the history of our human race, those who have appeared once in tens of millions of eras have attracted the pursuit of many powerful figures."

"I know this, and Wang Xiu must know it too." The Nine Swords Master shook his head, "Otherwise he wouldn't have replied to my personal email."

"Your Excellency, did you send an email?" King Longyu was surprised.

I didn’t expect that the Nine Swords Master would act so quickly.

"He didn't reply. How dare he not reply?" King Longyu was surprised.

"The Venerable sent an email, so of course he dared not not reply. However, he turned off the reception of the virtual universe network." The Nine Swords Venerable shook his head, "Since the reception is turned off... naturally he can't even receive emails, so I can't blame him."

King Longyu was surprised.

good boy.

This Wang Xiu is quite cunning. He probably has already calculated that many powerful figures will invite him or intend to take him as a disciple.

Wang Xiu's status was too low, and he didn't dare to directly reject any big shot, so he simply temporarily shut down the virtual universe network reception, so as not to offend anyone.

After a while, when you turn on the virtual universe network receiving, you will receive a large number of emails at the same time and you can choose from them.

"Very cunning." King Longyu said softly.

"Such a genius must have some clever tricks." The Nine Swords Reverend shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry! After all, I am his direct superior. He received so many emails at the same time, so he should be the first one to come to me."

……

At the same time, not only the Nine Swords Venerable, but other Venerables of the Virtual Universe Company also received the news of Wang Xiu through their respective information channels at the first time.

After the shock, emails from the great cosmic masters came pouring in like snowflakes.

They all expressed their demands and conditions, wanting to accept Wang Xiu as their disciple.

The conditions offered are better than each other, and the words spoken are more pleasant than each other.

……

At this moment, Wang Xiu, who was comprehending the laws in the secret room of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, was completely unaware of this.

As for what Venerable Nine Swords and King Longyu said about Wang Xiu being cunning, they were wrongly accusing him.

After all, Wang Xiu really hadn’t thought so much about it before.

After all, Wang Xiu had only passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge. In his memory, when Luo Feng attracted those cosmic masters to scramble to accept him as a disciple, Luo Feng had already passed the thirteenth level of Tongtian Bridge.

So Wang Xiu never considered this at all.

As for turning off the virtual universe network reception, it was simply because I didn't want to be disturbed when I was comprehending the Chaos Monument.

However, Wang Xiu forgot that although he had only passed the eighth level, his training time was too short.

Especially since Wang Xiu’s background was too poor, there wasn’t even a single proper manual on how to practice and develop strength on Earth, so he had to rely entirely on his own exploration.

Even in such an environment, Wang Xiu was able to practice step by step to the level of a top genius and become the best in the entire universe.

Moreover, after entering the initial universe, Wang Xiu's progress was astonishingly fast.

In just thirty years, he had fully understood the first and second pictures of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument. More importantly, he had fully understood and mastered the essence of the thirty-six spatial origin laws contained in the first two pictures of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument.

Normally, if one can comprehend the first two pictures on the Heart Mark Chaos Monument to a level of 100, one can pass the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Wang Xiu, on the other hand, had fully understood the two pictures in front of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, reaching a level of 150 points.

Relying on his mastery of the first 36 essential principles of the laws of origin of space, Wang Xiu managed to break through the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

This speed of improvement has left Bolan and others far behind. If Wang Xiu had not practiced for too short a time and was too weak, he would definitely be considered a peerless genius that appears once in tens of millions of epochs.

However, even so, the Nine Swords Master and other Universe Masters also believed that Wang Xiu’s future achievements would definitely not be weak.

And Wang Xiu is a genius selected by the genius contest hosted by the Nine Swords Venerable. As he grows up, he will naturally be under the command of the Nine Swords Venerable.

The only way to bring Wang Xiu, a promising young man, under his command is to accept him as a disciple.

After all, the master-disciple relationship is the strongest.

The life span of the strong is unlimited, so after the relatives die one by one, the one who is truly closest to them is the "teacher".

Respecting the teacher is a very important point for strong humans. Even if you surpass the teacher in the future, you must respect the teacher.

Because... the teacher is the one who guides you to walk faster and more steadily on the path of cultivation, and the teacher is the one who truly helps you time and time again. This kindness is extremely great, so naturally you have to respect the teacher.

Anyone who does not respect the teacher will be despised and disdained by all powerful people.

After accepting Wang Xiu as his disciple, as Wang Xiu grew up, he naturally became of the same school as his teacher.

As for the Nine Swords Master... in front of a teacher who imparts knowledge and answers questions, he is just a host of a battle of geniuses. There is no comparison at all.

This is also the reason why those cosmic masters want to accept Wang Xiu as their disciple.

and……

Throughout history, among those who were said to appear once in tens of millions of epochs, none of them were as simple as Coty or the Eclipse Fire Venerable...

Although some of them died, for those who survived, none of them had an easy life.

The weakest ones can all reach the peak of being crowned kings, and there is even a great hope of becoming the supreme master of the universe.

In other words, as long as Wang Xiu does not die prematurely.

At worst, he can become the king in the future and can definitely become their right-hand man!

And once Wang Xiu becomes the Lord of the Universe, they will make a fortune.

With a cosmic master as his disciple, it is naturally more secure for the master and disciple to work together in factional struggles, adventures in the secret realms of the universe, battlefields, etc. Others might resort to plotting against each other, robbing and killing, etc., but it is almost impossible for such a thing to happen between the master and the disciple.

Whoever dares to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors will do so if he doesn't discover it. Once he discovers it, he will be the public enemy of all strong men!

　A little late, sorry.
