Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 72 Guidance from the Divine Witch

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom judged that Ye Xingkong had the potential to become a cosmic venerable, which means that Ye Xingkong's talent was already comparable to a peerless genius that appeared only once every tens of millions of epochs among the human race.

For example, people like Coty and Venerable Fire Erosion. Of course, Coty had not yet been born in this era.

With the perspective of a cosmic being, one would certainly not be easily mistaken.

It is worth noting that in the original novel, "Blood-Clad Marquis" Lian Luo spent a full three thousand years creating the secret technique "Floating Blood" in Chaos City, and finally comprehended the 108 mysteries of the laws of space.

At that time, Lian Luo was already a realm lord, and had spent three thousand years in the initial universe.

The efficiency of comprehending the laws of the initial universe is already ten times that of the primordial universe, plus the occasional opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele.

All things considered, the efficiency of comprehending the laws in the initial universe is more than ten times that in the outside world.

Even so, it took Lian Luo three thousand years.

It should be noted that with Lian Luo's talent, even if he is not as good as the likes of Cody, he is still a member of the Realm Master of the Original Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, which is enough to make him one of the most outstanding geniuses of mankind in that era.

In the primordial universe, Ye Xingkong spent only ninety years comprehending the first seventy-two mysteries of the laws of space.

At this rate, even if the difficulty of the final thirty-six mysteries increases exponentially, it will only take a maximum of another thousand years.

Of course, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom did not know that Ye Xingkong possessed a Five Elements clone, and that it had already reached the level of a Realm Lord.

Even disregarding the Five Elements Avatars, Ye Xingkong's comprehension alone would have been enough to cultivate all the way to becoming a King-level Immortal.

"I never imagined that my Qianwu Secret Realm could nurture such a monstrous genius!"

"Oh, Ye Xingkong isn't a native genius of my Qianwu Universe Kingdom. It seems that Meng Lin recommended him from the extraterritorial battlefield."

"Menglin, you deserve a great reward!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was overjoyed and burst into laughter.

Meng Lin is the most outstanding genius of the Qianwu royal family in nearly 100 million years, and has the potential to become an immortal marquis in the future.

As a powerful figure born from his own bloodline, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom would naturally pay more attention to him, and sometimes even personally offer guidance.

There was certainly a reason why the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was so happy.

It's important to understand that even for a cosmic sage, one of the very few at the very top of the human race, finding a satisfactory disciple is not easy.

First of all, of course, the standards for accepting disciples by the Universal Venerable are very high.

Unless they really see a connection, they might not really pay much attention to an average genius.

Secondly, the vast majority of geniuses born in the 1008 human universe kingdoms were basically divided up by the five major powers, leaving only the leftovers for the universe kingdom rulers.

Despite the long reign of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, he has taken in a total of twenty-three disciples, twelve of whom have been granted the title of Immortal King.

In reality, these twelve immortal kings were all geniuses within the Virtual Universe Company.

Although these kings did indeed take the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom as their master, they can only be considered strong members of the Virtual Universe Company, not strong members of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

But Ye Xingkong is different!

Ye Xingkong was someone that Qianwu Universe Kingdom had genuinely discovered and nurtured. Even after joining the Virtual Universe Company, his relationship with Qianwu Universe Kingdom would remain closer.

As for the third point, there is the fact that a peerless genius appears only once every ten million epochs of human history, and even a cosmic venerable might not be qualified to take him as a disciple!
For example, Koti was eventually taken as a disciple by the Lord of Chaos City; Venerable Fire Eclipse also became a disciple of the Lord of Void Gold.

······
Yuanzhong Palace.

Beside a lake that resembles a turquoise gemstone.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, dressed in a star-patterned robe, sat casually on the soft grass with a gentle smile on his face.

"teacher."

Ye Xingkong stood to the side, bowing respectfully.

"My disciple has arrived. Please sit down."

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom casually pointed to a patch of grass and said with a smile, "Thank you, Teacher."

Ye Xingkong nodded and quickly sat down cross-legged.

"Just now, I ordered you to use all the secret techniques you have learned."

Do you know what your biggest weakness is right now?

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom held a silver-white wine cup filled with pale purple liquid and asked with a smile.

The wine only emitted a slightly mellow aroma, yet it made Ye Xingkong seem somewhat drunk.

"Disciple doesn't know."

Ye Xingkong thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"hehe."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled slightly and said calmly, "First, you have too few means of self-preservation. You must know that to become a strong person, you must go to dangerous places to hone your skills. The universe is vast and anything can happen. Even a super genius might be targeted and assassinated by alien races. Therefore, means of self-preservation are very important."

Ye Xingkong was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

It really is!
It seems that his own human form doesn't really have any decent trump cards to protect him.

of course
Ye Xingkong's greatest trump cards are the "Primordial Mirror" and the "Five Elements Avatar," but these two things are definitely not something he can reveal.

"Master, your disciple has cultivated the soul defense secret technique 'Seven Treasures Spirit Tree' and has now reached the fourth level."

Ye Xingkong quickly said.

"not enough!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom shook his head and said calmly, "While the Seven Treasures Spirit Tree has some good ideas regarding soul defense, it is still too ordinary overall. If you encounter an immortal who excels in soul defense, you will probably have a hard time dealing with it."

Ye Xingkong nodded silently.

The Seven Treasures Tree?
It was obtained by him from the ruins of the immortal "Cold". Although it was considered a very precious secret manual in the outside world, it was not enough in the eyes of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

"remember!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled and said, "With your talent, you are comparable to a genius that appears only once every tens of millions of epochs among the human race. If your talent is exposed one day in the future, countless alien races will surely come to assassinate you. Therefore, having a way to protect yourself is very important."

"Teacher, I understand."

Ye Xingkong nodded thoughtfully.

"Your first weakness is that you don't have enough ways to protect yourself. Of course, you're only at the cosmic level now, and you'll need to cultivate under the protection of the higher-ups in humanity for a long time. There will be plenty of time for you to prepare various ways to protect yourself in the future."

"However, your second major shortcoming is that you haven't decided on the path you want to take in the future."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom seemed to possess boundless wisdom in his eyes as he spoke calmly.

"the way?"

Ye Xingkong was a little confused.

"The path is of utmost importance to a strong person."

"Those geniuses who emerge from the battle of geniuses will basically choose the path they want to take in the future at the stellar or cosmic level."

"Of course, you come from a humble background and no one has ever guided you to choose a suitable path. But you're only at the cosmic level now, so it's not too late."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled and shook his head, his tone very calm.

"Please give me some guidance, teacher."

Ye Xingkong's expression was serious, and he quickly spoke respectfully.
