Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 74, The Privilege of Geniuses
"Is this the Venerable One?"

Jiang Mingyuan probed into the world ring with his original force. The energy remaining in the Venerable's corpse was vast and boundless. Even a fragment of the corpse could cause the entire ring world to tremble continuously.

If it weren't for the layer of flowing light surrounding these fragments of remains, which suppressed the energy within the Venerable One's remains, the entire ring world would probably have collapsed.

"What terrifying energy! If it weren't for this layer of light suppressing the activity of this energy and causing the energy within the corpses to subside, my will would probably be obliterated just by getting close, and I would only be able to observe it with the naked eye."

If a piece of a Venerable's remains were placed on an ordinary planet, the entire planet would collapse from the weight of it.

Even a glimpse into the Venerable One's strength is enough to reveal a glimpse of his power.

Jiang Ming was deeply shocked.

"This is wonderful. The fundamental laws of space on these corpses are so clear."

On an irregular, broken scale about 60 meters in diameter, Jiang Ming 'saw' incredibly clear fluctuations of the fundamental laws of space.

With these clear rules as a guide, Jiang Ming's speed of comprehending the "Blood Battle Manual" increased dozens of times.

Almost every minute and every second, one can feel the enhancement of the fundamental laws of space.

"It's wonderful; it feels like this law is constantly improving every second."

Jiang Ming only needed a slight comprehension to feel the improvement in the laws; if he focused on comprehending them, the effect would definitely be even greater.

"Anyway, I've already secured first place, so the rest of the rounds are just for watching. I don't think it will matter if I withdraw from the Genius Battle early."

Thinking this, Jiang Ming's consciousness reconnected to the virtual universe. Usually, when Jiang Ming logged back into the virtual universe, he would appear in the property he had purchased.

However, during the Genius Battle, Jiang Ming's position seemed to be locked in Room 1 of Building 0825.

Upon seeing himself appear directly in the room, Jiang Ming immediately went out and headed towards Restaurant No. 1.

"Stop!"

There were two cosmic-level waiters at the entrance of Restaurant No. 1. These two waiters naturally recognized Jiang Ming, but due to their duty, they immediately stopped him when he arrived.

"I am Jiang Ming. Please inform Your Excellency that I have something to ask you."

Jiang Ming was not annoyed by being stopped, as he had expected it, so he immediately spoke up.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Jiang Ming, I will inform you immediately."

A waiter immediately replied, and seeing that Jiang Ming was not angry, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief.

When they saw that the person who came was Jiang Ming, heaven knows how long they hesitated before daring to speak up and stop him.

But duty dictates that I must stop them.

Seeing that Jiang Ming had no intention of pursuing the matter, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

The waiter's message quickly reached the ears of the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Oh? Bring him over."

As instructed by the Nine Swords Venerable, Jiang Ming soon arrived at the second floor of the restaurant, led by a waiter.

As Jiang Ming ascended to the second floor from the gaze of countless immortal eyes on the first floor, he felt a sense of dread, as if he were a sheep weaving through a pack of wolves.

Even though these immortal auras have been somewhat subdued, for Jiang Ming now, it is still like a mortal facing a natural disaster.

"Greetings, Venerable One."

Upon seeing the man in the green robe and scale armor, Jiang Ming immediately bowed.

When the Nine Swords Venerable appeared before, all 1008 Immortals bowed in respect, and Jiang Ming naturally knew to do the same.

"Um, what do you need me for?"

The Nine Swords Venerable nodded slightly, and then asked.

"I intend to withdraw from the remaining matches, and I hope Your Excellency will agree."

Hearing Jiang Ming say this, many immortals were somewhat surprised. Jiang Ming's walk up from the first floor naturally attracted the attention of all the immortals. At this moment, all 1008 immortals were watching Jiang Ming's actions, and they were naturally surprised to hear that he planned to withdraw from the competition.

"Your results are already decided, but the remaining matches will only last one day. Why not watch for another day?"

If it were someone else who said they wanted to withdraw from the competition, the Nine Swords Venerable would definitely throw them out immediately. If you don't want to participate, then don't join the Virtual Universe Company.

But Jiang Ming is different. His results are already set and will not be changed in the slightest. He can only watch the games from now on.

Moreover, Jiang Ming's talent is so terrifying that he is naturally different from other geniuses, so it's not surprising that he enjoys some privileges.

"The king just gifted me a treasure and asked me to study it. Time is precious, and I don't want to waste it."

Jiang Ming explained.

"Oh? I see. That's good. After the Genius Battle ends, the company will arrange a spaceship to transport you and the other geniuses who have joined the core layer to the Virtual Universe Company headquarters. You are currently on Flame Abyss Star, right?"

After hearing Jiang Ming's explanation, the Nine Swords Venerable was not in a difficult position and immediately agreed to Jiang Ming's request, as it was a trivial matter.

"Yes, I am currently on Flame Abyss Star."

After Jiang Ming left, the other immortals immediately started discussing among themselves.

"Jiang Ming has truly set a precedent. He is the first to clear the seventh trial tower and the first contestant to withdraw from the Cosmic Peak Genius Battle."

"Only Jiang Ming would dare to say that. Even if Bolan dared to say it, the Venerable One would probably fly into a rage."

"That's right. The first time a top-tier talent battle has seen a contestant withdraw, it's become quite famous."

"What are you saying? This year's Genius Battle isn't that famous yet? I bet it will be a topic of conversation for millions of years to come."

"Haha, that's true. Didn't you see that 'Thirteen' guy's smile never stopped? I wonder if he's ever smiled more in his entire life than he has in this period of time."

Many of the immortals joked that if other contestants withdrew from the competition, their reaction would naturally not have been like this.

It's estimated that the Immortals led by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom would have been furious at that time.

Even now, the giant 'Thirteen' in his scale armor robe didn't lose much of his smile when he saw Jiang Ming withdraw from the competition.

That's what makes Jiang Ming different.

Such is the privilege of genius.

"I wonder what kind of treasure the king bestowed upon Jiang Ming that made him withdraw from the competition without even waiting a day."

The giant in the scale armor robe, 'Thirteen,' thought to himself that all the immortals present had heard Jiang Ming's explanation, but no one mentioned it.

The Venerable One's gift is certainly not simple, especially since it is bestowed upon a peerless genius like Jiang Ming. Its value is absolutely unimaginable to these immortals.

Even though they were incredibly curious, none of them brought it up.

Because it was a gift from the Venerable One, and the recipient of the gift was Jiang Ming.

Even if Jiang Ming is only at the stellar level now.

……

0825 Building.

Luo Feng was pondering his earlier conversation with Rong Jun and Jiang Ming.

“The members of ‘Primal Realm’ have immortal guards, and Brother Jiang’s status is now even higher than that of an immortal. It’s really outrageous.”

"Huh? How does Rong Jun know that the members of the 'Primordial Secret Realm' have Immortals as guards? It seems that Rong Jun's background is not as simple as it appears."

Luo Feng reviewed everything one by one, recalling each point in his mind.

At that moment, he received a message from Jiang Ming, and after reading it, Luo Feng was stunned.

"What? Brother Jiang withdrew from the competition?"
