Marvel: The other side of the double-passing door is Devouring the Stars

Chapter 242 The Arrival of the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor

Hong and Thor were momentarily stunned by the sheer number of emails.

I didn't expect it to be just a preliminary round.

They were surprised to receive invitations from so many powerful forces, the vast majority of whom were immortal-level experts.

And a vast array of forces, including the Giant Axe Arena, the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and several other organizations.

"What should we do? So many organizations? Which one should we join?" Hong and Thor were at a loss for what to do.

Just then, Babata floated out and said, "Wait, I have just gone through all your emails and found that although there are quite a few Immortal-level powerhouses among them, most of these Immortals are only Marquis-level, and some are from forces that are not high-level. There is no need to waste time on them. Your talents are strong enough. Joining the Virtual Universe Company or the Giant Axe Arena is the best choice."

Babata's physical abilities were also recognized by Rowan.

Indeed, he has now reviewed the emails and communication invitations he currently has on hand.

Most people are immortals. For an ordinary genius, to be favored by an immortal-level powerhouse, or even to have the idea of ​​being taken in as a personal disciple, is an extremely good thing.

They were hoping for such a good thing, but unfortunately, it wasn't something to brag about for Rowan and his friends.

Strength determines the direction you choose.

Being granted a title of nobility equates to immortality, which, for Luo Wen and his ilk, hardly qualifies them as powerful figures.

Their potential is very high.

Just like Hong in the original work, when he entered the Origin Continent again, he was already a master at the level of Void True God.

As for Thor, he simply gave up later on and didn't encounter any particularly powerful teachers. He relied entirely on his own talent to eventually cultivate to become the master of the universe.

As for Luo Feng, it goes without saying that he eventually reached the God King realm.

Each of them has a better option.

The same goes for Rowan.

These days, almost all the people who come to them are small-time crooks, so there's no need to pay them any attention.

So he also mentioned, "It's not too late to make plans after we enter the arena."

After the preliminary rounds, the final match will be held in about ten days.

This is the highlight.

In the arena competition, everyone possesses extremely strong abilities. Among the one hundred districts, one thousand and one geniuses will engage in a final free-for-all.

Only in this chaotic battle can the truly talented and powerful be determined.

Just as they were chatting.

Babata then flapped his wings and sat on Rowan's shoulder: "I'll tell you the good news. Your three women are waiting for you on Nine Star Island. Do you want to go over there?"

Woman... um... isn't that obvious?

Luo Wen rolled his eyes at Babata, then immediately told his older brothers that he was going to find Yao Rao, and they all burst into laughter.

"Third brother, you should take care of your health. Look at fourth brother, he just got married and he doesn't talk about finding a wife all the time. Don't waste your energy on other things."

Thor chuckled slyly and nudged Rowan's arm with his elbow.

Rowan couldn't help but smile wryly, even feeling somewhat helpless, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

After greeting everyone, he immediately headed to Jiuxing Lake Garden.

We arrived at Jiuxing Lake Garden.

As soon as Luo Wengang pushed open the door, he immediately felt a unique fragrance wafting from the room.

"It smells so good! What are you cooking?"

Luo Wen smelled the aroma in the air and immediately felt his appetite whetted. Although he had already reached this level, he didn't need to eat anything extra.

But the aroma was so enticing that he couldn't resist the temptation.

There was a clattering sound from the kitchen downstairs. Yao Rao poked half her head out and said with a grin, "I'm going to make you a special and sumptuous dinner."

Looking at the alluring woman, Luo Wen smiled and walked in, gently putting his arm around her waist.

Meanwhile, Brolin was tidying the table, and Vinina was setting the table. When they saw Rowan come in, they both stopped what they were doing and their faces lit up with bright smiles.

Brolin strode forward, took Rowan's hand, and said, "Rowan, you're finally back! Today's meal is special."

Rowan looked puzzled, glancing at Brolin, then at Vinina and Yao Rao, and asked with a smile, "What special significance? Is there some good news to announce?"

Vinina smiled and winked: "You'll find out soon enough, sit down first."

Luo Wen sat down as instructed, watching the three women bustling around him, feeling utterly confused.

Are they preparing a big meal because they've already qualified for the preliminary rounds?
But judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to be celebrating that they had passed the preliminary rounds.

Oh well, I'll probably find out soon enough.

Before long, a variety of delicious dishes were laid out on the table. Looking at the feast, Luo Wen praised, "Just by looking at it, I can tell your cooking skills have improved again. I can't wait to try them."

Everyone enjoyed the food and chatted casually in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

As the meal drew to a close, Brolin cleared his throat, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement. He took out an exquisite card from behind his back and handed it to Rowan, on which was written: "We want to marry you together and spend our lives together."

Rowan stared at the card, momentarily stunned, then his eyes lit up with surprise. He looked at Brolin, then at Vinina and Yao Rao, and was momentarily dumbfounded.

What's going on...? Is this forcing me to marry them?

Rowan was speechless.

Although he had mentally prepared himself to marry his three women—after all, he had already been with the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor during their time in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire—he felt he had no reason to marry his daughter after the Battle of Geniuses.

This was also an additional condition for him to obtain the Starburst Sky-Splitting Blade.

Rowan then looked at Brolin.

Brolin replied telepathically, "Agree to their request. I don't want Yao Rao and Vinina to be sad..."

After hearing Brolin's words, Rowan understood his intention and felt a warmth in his heart.

He didn't say anything more, then feigned surprise and looked at the three of them: "Are you serious? You really want to marry me!"

Brolin smiled and nodded, adding, "In our Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the law allows polygamy, so we can all become your brides, and we can stay together forever."

Upon hearing the words "polygamy," Rowan's surprise widened instantly, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he couldn't process the information for a moment.

In his original understanding, such a situation was extremely rare.

He looked back and forth between his three expectant lovers, stammering, "This...this is actually allowed? I never thought...!"

After confirming that this was not a joke, Rowan's face lit up with a smile again. He hugged the three of them tightly and accepted the fact in his heart.

He'll eventually have to give his women a proper status.

Let's just let this happen naturally. After all, Luo Feng is already married, and it would be a bit unreasonable for me not to get married soon either. Luo Wen agreed.

This made both Yao Rao and Brolin extremely happy.

However, since they are still participating in the Virtual Universe Genius Battle, the wedding will be held after the Virtual Universe Genius Battle ends, as agreed with the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor.

Anyway, the battle of geniuses in the virtual universe will end soon.

Furthermore, after the battle of geniuses ends, they will have three years to rest before heading to the Virtual Universe Company.

After dealing with these matters.

Rowan and the others temporarily returned to Earth, since they wouldn't be able to participate in the second arena match for another ten days or so.

They wanted to relax for a while.

They've gained some insights from the battles in the virtual universe these past few days and want to fully process them.

Hong, in particular, originally followed the illusionary arts style.

In this virtual universe, he fought against countless geniuses, especially the last two, who made him realize that he was not yet truly invincible among his peers in the illusion realm.

Sometimes I feel flustered and overwhelmed when faced with their attacks.

Furthermore, he was unable to imbue each of his attacks with an illusion, making it difficult to defeat his opponent in the end.

This left him feeling utterly helpless.

Thor, on the other hand, fought his way through with wide, sweeping attacks, gradually feeling his sword intent heading down a different path.

At this moment, Rowan and Thor were fishing in a stream outside the Jiangnan base.

The two of them got along the best.

“Third brother, I have already cultivated my Illusionary Thunder Slash to the second level, but I have discovered that this sword technique has multiple evolution paths. Especially after I comprehended the sword intent, I feel that this sword technique can be further optimized... But I am also afraid that if I optimize it, I will ruin this sword technique.”

Today's fishing trip was actually Thor's idea; he wanted to find Rowan and ask him about his insights.

Since he mastered the blade, he has discovered that the artistic conception can be infinitely varied with each use of it.

As he became more and more proficient with this sword technique, his sword intent stagnated, until he participated in the Virtual Universe Genius competition.

Through his continuous killings, he gradually came to understand a path he had never known before.

That is the way of slaughter!
He was not a murderer; after practicing this sword technique, his temperament had undergone subtle changes.

After hearing this, Luo Wen was surprised. The Illusionary Thunder Slash that he had given to Thor was a sword technique of an invincible king.

He only knew that this sword technique was extremely powerful and suitable for people who used the Lightning Law, but he didn't know what kind of person the other party was.

Rowan pretended to be deep in thought, but in reality, he began searching his memory for information about this invincible and immortal queen bee.

After searching around, all they had were vague memories. They only knew that the other party possessed extremely strong lightning power, but in the face of the Golden Horned Beast, they were ultimately killed by the Golden Horned Beast's tail.

There weren't many fragments or memories, which left Rowan speechless.

He never expected Thor to ask him that question.

After much negotiation, he finally said, "I think you don't need to worry. The only thing you need to do now is follow yourself. You can create your own path."

"The opponent's sword intent and swordsmanship are indeed powerful, but you can also walk your own path. After all, no one can walk the same path. If you follow the opponent's path step by step, you will eventually become like him. It is better to take the lead of the opponent, take bigger steps, and create your own great path."

In his previous life, Luo Wen had read many martial arts novels and immediately remembered some insightful words, which he now copied and pasted.

When Thor heard this, he fell into deep thought, pondering it carefully.

Suddenly, the fishing rod in his hand twitched, and he abruptly pulled up and hooked a huge fish.

At the same time, he felt much clearer-headed and instantly knew which path he should take.
"Third brother, everyone says that my eldest brother and I have strong mental states. It seems that you are no less so. We are older and practice schools that focus on the mind, but you are a martial artist. It is truly remarkable that you have such a profound understanding of mental states."

Thor instantly understood which path he should take next, and couldn't help but praise Rowan.

Luo Wen laughed heartily upon hearing this, though there was a hint of embarrassment in his smile.

Two or three days later.

Luo Wen and his team held a celebration banquet to congratulate everyone on successfully passing the preliminary rounds.

At this moment, Roman also introduced to everyone that he was about to get married.

Everyone naturally congratulated Rowan upon hearing this.

Brolin was alluring, and even Vinina blushed slightly.

Hearing everyone's blessings, they were overjoyed.

Just as they were enjoying the pleasure of the banquet, the void in front of them suddenly cracked open.

A powerful aura swept across the heavens and earth.

As golden light shone down, a figure slowly walked out from the golden gate.

"Father?"

Brolin was somewhat surprised to see his father arrive.

Is this the Emperor of Black Dragon Mountain?
Apart from Luo Wen, Hong and Lei Shen, along with Luo Feng and others, immediately knelt down.

Just as they were about to kneel, a gentle force pulled them up.

"No need for formalities!"

The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor was extremely pleased with these geniuses before him.

Especially Rowan.

He will soon become his son-in-law. Before he has even officially joined the Black Dragon Mountain royal family, he has already gained more than 100 billion Hunyuan units. He is simply a lucky star.

The more I look at Roman Tam, the more pleasing he seems to be.

"Old Deng, what brings you here!"

Luo Wen walked through the crowd and stood before the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor.

But his words stunned everyone present.

"Holy crap, Rowan... what are you yelling about?!"

Thor felt a chill run down his spine when he heard Rowan use that respectful title for the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor.

The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor before them possessed a powerful aura, no weaker than that of the Heavenly Void Immortal.

Such an extraordinary being, and Luo Wen actually called him that? It's absolutely outrageous!
