Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 173 The Battle of Geniuses Begins

His disciple's current display of brilliance is even more extraordinary than that of the original ancestor.

Even if the original ancestor told him that Zhang Yi would be able to break through the cycle of reincarnation in the future, he would believe it.

Zhang Yi is only at the Immortal stage now, yet his strength is already comparable to that of a Universe Lord? Once he truly becomes a Universe Lord, his strength will be unimaginable!
The Chaos City Lord's thoughts seemed to return to the time before the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed. At that time, the human race was the number one power in the original universe. Even the Ancestral God Cult, which was protected by the origin of the universe, did not dare to provoke them. The five peak races, including the Demon Race and the Mechanical Race, had to unite to resist the human race.

Those were the most glorious and invincible years for humankind. Even in the cosmic sea, the Primordial Ancestor was unrivaled, and even the two great holy lands dared not easily provoke him.

The Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but look at Zhang Yi beside him.

He saw in Zhang Yi a talent no less than that of the original ancestor, and a calm yet resilient will.

"It seems that another being will rise to power in our human race, one who will shake the universe." The Chaos City Lord was filled with anticipation.

After exchanging words for a while, Zhang Yi and the Lord of Chaos City left.

In this void, only that enormous sculpture remains.

Amidst the chaotic currents, the Lord of Chaos City and Zhang Yi flew side by side.

"Zhang Yi, don't tell anyone about your immortality," the Chaos City Lord instructed again.

Zhang Yi smiled and nodded: "Teacher, don't worry."

"Moreover, I feel that I am only one step away from comprehending the laws of space. Maybe I will be able to do so in the next few days, and then I will be able to break through to the level of a Universe Venerable."

"Alright, you can handle everything yourself. Now go and attend the Supreme Meeting," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile. "This is your first time attending one."

Subsequently, Zhang Yi followed the Lord of Chaos City to attend the highest meeting of the human race, also known as the Giant Axe Meeting.

He met the other universe lords of the human race. Zhang Yi had already met the leaders of the other four major forces when he was a realm lord. He also got to know the remaining universe lords at this meeting.

Soon, the meeting ended, and Zhang Yi returned to the Chaos City Lord's palace atop Thunder Island.

"Don't you plan to establish your homeland, the Noah Universe Kingdom?" the Chaos City Lord asked.

Many strong individuals would be willing to stay in their hometown.

“Yes.” Zhang Yi nodded. “However, I will arrange for a clone to go there.”

He was a transmigrator and didn't really have much affection for the original owner's family. Providing them with cultivation resources was enough; there was no need for him to stay there permanently.

Most importantly, once he breaks through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, he will travel to the Cosmic Sea to search for the treasures of the Heavy Water Clan.

"Alright, since that's the case, you can stay in the Primal Secret Realm. I will arrange another territory for you."

The Lord of Chaos City said.

"Also, registration for the Peak Genius Battle has begun. Whether you are willing to host it is up to you."

"The Battle of Peak Geniuses?" Zhang Yi was taken aback. He remembered that although he had spent hundreds of thousands of years cultivating in the Origin Tower, only a few hundred years had passed in the real world.

“Yes, teacher, I still want to see things through to the end,” Zhang Yi said.

In the virtual universe, within a private dimension, Zhang Yi sat high on the throne.

A woman dressed in a purple gauze robe stood respectfully below the main hall.

At this moment, she was filled with trepidation. As the core of the Virtual Universe Company, the Immortal King, and having helped Zhang Yi with matters related to the Genius Battle, she already knew that the genius Zhang Yi of yesteryear had become a super being of the human race.

"Mengxin, you've done a good job preparing for this Genius Battle," Zhang Yi said in a booming voice. "I have a few more points to add regarding this Genius Battle."

"First, the winner of this Genius Battle finals will be accepted as a disciple by at least one of the universe's overlords. If they are outstanding enough, it's not impossible for them to be accepted as disciples by the Lord of the Universe." "Second, the top three winners of the Genius Battle finals will enter the Primal Secret Realm and, in addition to the original rewards, will also receive a powerful treasure."

"You should publish these two points."

"Yes, Lord of Time and Space," King Mengxin replied respectfully.

At the same time, he secretly marveled: "The first place at least has a cosmic overlord taking him as a disciple? And the top three are directly bestowed with great treasures?"

As expected of the highest echelons of the tribe, these things are merely peeking out from between their fingers.

But she didn't even own a single valuable treasure.

"Mengxin, after this Genius Battle is over, I will bestow upon you a treasure that suits you." Just as Mengxin was lost in thought, Zhang Yi's voice came again.

"Thank you, Lord of Time and Space." King Mengxin was overjoyed and immediately knelt down respectfully, saying, "Your Highness, I will definitely do my best to help you in this Genius Battle and not disgrace you."

"Go ahead." Zhang Yi nodded.

Whoosh! Dream King vanished.

Although given his status, Mengxin Wang would not dare to be negligent in the slightest upon receiving an order, his true intention was not to do so, and bestowing a precious treasure upon him was insignificant.

However, for Mengxin Wang and others, it was an enormous fortune, so they would naturally be even more devoted to it.

"Young Master, you seem to value this human genius battle quite a bit, huh?" Shi Lun's teasing voice rang out, "You're increasing the rewards and bestowing gifts upon your subordinates."

"Haha, this is my first time hosting a battle of geniuses, especially since I am already at the highest level of the human race, the result can't be too bad," Zhang Yi said. "It should at least be better than those presided over by the cosmic venerables."

"Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing."

The once-in-a-millennium ultimate genius battle of the Virtual Universe Company has officially begun. This time, due to Zhang Yi's personal involvement, its scale and scale far exceed those of previous battles.

In the virtual universe 1008, all the main continents and affiliated islands of the universe nation simultaneously displayed enormous notices, radiating dazzling light that naturally drew the attention of every powerful individual entering the virtual universe.

Meanwhile, the 1008 rulers of the universe also did their utmost to cooperate in making this battle of geniuses a success.

The Noah Universe Kingdom is located on the main continent of the virtual universe, within a massive training ground.

"Have you heard? The final reward for this Peak Genius Battle will far exceed that of the past. The winner of the finals will at least be taken as a disciple by the Universe Overlord, and may even be noticed by the Lord of the Universe."

"Cosmic Overlord? Lord of the Universe? Is he the same as the King of Noah?" a voice asked in confusion.

In their eyes, a powerful figure like King Noah was already an unattainable being.

"I've heard that he's much stronger than King Noah, and is the pinnacle of our human race."

"What? Even more powerful than the ruler of the universe! Heavens, if I were to become the disciple of such a being, I would truly be on a meteoric rise to the top."

"I also heard that the host of this genius battle is a genius who came from my Noah Universe Kingdom."

"Really? Who is it?"

"It's Lord Zhang Yi, who won first place in the last Genius Battle. Lord Zhang Yi has grown into a super being in the past ten thousand years."

"How did you know this information?" someone questioned him.

"Haha, the news that Lord Zhang Yi's family is in the Blue Mountain Empire has already spread throughout the empire."
