Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 82 The Depressed King of the Qianwu Kingdom

The Secret Realm of Qianwu, Yuanzhong Palace.

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged in the magnificent hall, sometimes looking up at the spatial rift, sometimes looking down in thought, completely immersed in cultivation.

He has maintained this posture for hundreds of years.

"Your Highness is truly diligent in your cultivation!"

"Although he is an unparalleled genius and has been accepted as a personal disciple by the king, he often cultivates for hundreds of years without leaving his home. He is truly obsessed!"

Outside the Heavenly Palace, two black-clad deacons at the Realm Lord level happened to pass by. Looking at the deep and ancient palace, a hint of awe flashed in their eyes, and they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Three hundred and thirty years ago.

When the news that Ye Xingkong had been accepted as a personal disciple by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom spread, it caused a sensation throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Countless high-ranking immortal beings all turned their attention to Ye Xingkong, wanting to see just how talented this peerless genius, who was favored by the ruler of the universe, truly was.

Unfortunately.
After being accepted as a disciple by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, Ye Xingkong never showed his face to the outside world and kept an extremely low profile.

Now, more than 300 years later, many people seem to have forgotten this name.

Throughout history, which of those unparalleled geniuses has not been renowned throughout the universe, admired and respected by countless people?

"Our prince is doing well, keeping such a low profile that hardly anyone is paying attention to him anymore."

"Keeping a low profile is a good thing, but I'm afraid that when we travel through the universe in the future, others will look down on us and tarnish the reputation of our king."

"In the universe, reputation and prestige are also very important."

The two realm lords walked along the quiet corridor, chatting amongst themselves, and soon disappeared at the entrance of the Absolute Heaven Palace.

"Has two hundred years already passed without us realizing it?"

Ye Xingkong slowly opened his eyes, a hint of vicissitude flashing in them. He slowly got up and stretched his limbs.

From the outside perspective, he has not left the Jue Tian Palace for over three hundred years.

In the first century of these three hundred years, the Five Elements Avatar created the first move of the "Nine Revolutions Geng Metal Blade Technique" and encountered two immortals in the Red Leaf Secret Realm.

He gained a great deal from the battle with these two immortals, and then immersed himself in the creation of secret techniques.

Now, Ye Xingkong has pushed the first move of the Nine Revolutions Gengjin Blade Technique to the level of a top-tier secret technique.

During these three hundred years, the five elemental avatars were engrossed in the secrets of creation, while the human main body was not idle either, constantly studying the 108 essential aspects of the laws of space.

"My teacher gave me a deadline of one thousand years to comprehend the mysteries of the last thirty-six laws of space."

"Now it seems that I only took three hundred years."

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly, his mood was quite good.

Master Qianwu once promised that if I could comprehend all the mysteries of the laws of space within a thousand years, he would give me a reward.

When a ruler of a cosmic nation makes a move, he will definitely not be stingy.

"Unfortunately, there is still a considerable distance to go before reaching the second level of the Primordial Soul Refining Technique."

Ye Xingkong opened the proficiency panel, and his gaze narrowed slightly.

Over the past three hundred years, Ye Xingkong has focused his main efforts on comprehending the mysteries of the laws of space and creating his own unique sword techniques.

In order to create his own unique skills, he also cultivated the two top-level sword techniques, "Myriad Realms Blade" and "Destruction," to perfection.

In other words, the first move of the Nine Revolutions Gengjin Blade Technique was created by Ye Xingkong by integrating the essence of three top-level blade techniques.

Even among top-tier secret techniques, the Nine Revolutions Gengjin Blade Technique is considered quite powerful.

"Having comprehended the 108 essential aspects of the laws of space, it's time to find a teacher."

Ye Xingkong thought to himself, then transformed into a golden streak of light and disappeared into the Jue Tian Palace.

······
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island, Central Mountain Range.

This is an incomparably majestic mountain range, where the cosmic venerables of the Virtual Universe Company have built palaces.

Each palace complex is hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers in diameter, and houses a large number of servants, disciples, and nominal disciples.

Among them is an ancient and magnificent palace shrouded in endless air currents.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, dressed in a star-patterned robe, sat alone in a pavilion, holding a wine cup in his hand. His deep gaze seemed to see through the universe as he looked down at the masses of people at the foot of the mountain.

"I heard that the Primal Star is about to be activated."

"pity."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sighed softly, a look of desolation on his face.

As one of the 1008 cosmic rulers of the human race, Qianwu is an extremely ancient cosmic venerable being.

After all, since the number of intergalactic kingdoms reached 1008, the human race has not established any more intergalactic kingdoms, mainly because it does not have enough territory.

The reign of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is even longer than that of some cosmic rulers.

However, being ancient also means that its potential has been exhausted.

The fact that he couldn't take that step even after countless years suggests that he has almost no chance of becoming the overlord of the universe.

"Right now, I stay within the human territory, managing the space kingdom, nurturing generations of successors, and earning some contribution points. Although it's slow, it's safe."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom chuckled self-deprecatingly, feeling extremely depressed.

Over the long course of time, he fell three times, but was resurrected by his people each time.

It should be understood that resurrecting a high-level cosmic being requires paying a huge price.

Not to mention that he once perished on a primordial planet, losing all the treasures he had borrowed.

After being resurrected three times and owing his clan and friends a huge amount of Treasure Points, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom rarely ventured into the universe anymore.

Firstly, without supreme treasures and great treasures, his strength is far less than before.

After all, for powerful beings at the level of Cosmic Venerables, treasures constitute a significant portion of their strength.

Some powerful beings in the universe are actually quite ordinary in strength, but they can roam freely throughout the universe and become unstoppable by many powerful beings simply by possessing a heaven-defying treasure.

Secondly, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom feared falling again and incurring even more debts.

He now owes his clan and friends a staggering 3.8 Treasure Points, a debt that will take countless years to pay off.

If he were to perish again, he would likely never have a chance to rise again.

"The opening of the Primordial Star is another grand feast for the universe!"

"Unfortunately, there is no place for me."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom shook his head bitterly.

The silence of countless epochs had extinguished much of his ambition.

"Huh? It's Ye Xingkong."

"This little guy won't come to me unless he needs something."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sensed the movement in reality, and a smile appeared on his lips. Thinking of his peerless genius disciple, the frustration in his heart dissipated considerably.
