Swallowing the Stars: Heart of the Martial God

Chapter 75 The Ancestor's Choice

"Qian Yue?" Ling Xuan was too young, but his sect was too ancient. Although the founder of the Giant Axe could not teach a disciple like the Lord of the Universe, he had taken in quite a few disciples.

The disciple took in many more disciples, some of whom were outstanding and have become cosmic venerables.

As a result, Ling Xuan, a young man who is only about two hundred years old, is already the senior uncle of some cosmic venerables.

Click on the email.

"Congratulations, Uncle-Master, on taking on the important task of overseeing the development of the 'Chaos Ruins'."

The development of this secret realm is a complex undertaking, and exploration and planning are precisely my areas of expertise. I know these trivial tasks will distract you, so if you trust me, you might consider entrusting me with tasks such as surveying and mapping, and building defenses.

With my years of experience, I am confident that I can handle all matters properly.

You only need to focus on the big picture, using your keen intuition and decisive action to steer the course and deter any potential threats. Once the mission is successfully completed, all the credit will be yours. For me, the greatest reward is to participate in this grand event under your command and witness your continued success.

"Huh~ So they're here to look for a job." Ling Xuan looked around for a while and then realized what was going on. It seemed there really were some good things in this secret realm, even a Universe Venerable was looking for a job.

Then Ling Xuan found several more emails with similar meanings, all of which were requests to participate in the development of this secret realm.

"So many cosmic venerables, what should we do? Strategist Puff, what's your plan?" Ling Xuan grabbed Puff and lifted her up.

"How did Puff know?" Puff asked pitifully, shrinking her little head.

"By the way, Master, you can ask your teacher. Lord Giant Axe will definitely know," Puff said with a sudden inspiration.

“That makes sense.” Ling Xuan immediately entered the virtual universe to pay his respects to the creator of the giant axe.

However, the founder of the giant axe proudly told him to go find the Lord of False Gold, saying that he was in the cosmic sea and knew nothing.

Ling Xuan had no choice but to change his route and go find the Lord of False Gold.

Fortunately, the Lord of False Gold had a good relationship with the Candle Dragon King and valued him highly. In addition, due to his teacher, the Founder of the Giant Axe, he had the authority to teleport to the Lord of False Gold's palace on Tianzhou Island.

After listening to Ling Xuan's story, the Lord of False Gold smiled and said, "Most people would love to have this kind of trouble."

"Please enlighten me, senior," Ling Xuan said respectfully.

"This 'Chaotic Ruins' is a secret realm that we humans have just explored. Before, someone used a spatial secret technique to cover up the coordinates of the dark universe, and no one discovered it until it was discovered by a group of King-level experts from my Giant Axe Arena 60 billion years ago."

An ordinary race lives in this secret realm. For some reason, this race has always been very conservative. Despite having many powerful individuals, they have never left the secret realm. As a result, they have only concealed a small coordinate, and our human race has not discovered any trace of them for so long.

"If it weren't for the recent fall of that powerful king who was included in this resurrection list, we wouldn't have known that there was actually an alien race living within our human territory all along."

“Every newly discovered secret realm means opportunities and wealth. If a secret realm can nurture an ordinary race, it must be very wealthy. Moreover, the combat power of the Venerables of ordinary races is not as good as that of my peak races. For many universe Venerables, this is a great opportunity.”

Ling Xuan nodded upon hearing this. If it were truly possible to cultivate a Universe Venerable, then this secret realm would definitely contain treasures of great value, and there would be quite a few, perhaps even supreme treasures.

No wonder these cosmic venerables are flocking to it.

"Then how should I choose?" Ling Xuan asked humbly.

"This is also one of the tests for your mission," the Lord of Void Gold said with a smile. "According to intelligence, there should only be five Universe Venerables in the Chaos Abyss. You can choose five Universe Venerables to assist you."

Ling Xuan sighed, "Five Venerable Ones, can they listen to me?"

"That depends on your own choice." The Lord of False Gold did not offer any further guidance, for saying too much about some things would negate the purpose of education and training.

Ling Xuan bowed and thanked him before leaving the palace of the Lord of Void Gold.

“The five Universe Venerables are all incredibly proud and can be considered high-ranking members of various major powers. Apart from the high and mighty Universe Lords and Universe Overlords, who can command these Universe Venerables?”

Ling Xuan felt that this task was extremely difficult, and the first step of selecting generals was a great test of one's judgment.

"Let's choose Venerable Qianyue first. I'm his uncle-master after all. If this nephew misbehaves, I'll complain to my senior brothers and teachers." Ling Xuan waved his hand and sent out an email. Soon after, he received a reply of thanks from Venerable Qianyue.

Venerable Qianyue said he would listen to his master in everything.

"What a hassle. I really want to take the Void Mirror and break through that secret realm all by myself." Ling Xuan scratched his head and picked through the emails from the Cosmic Venerables.

“Boy, this is your test and trial. Don’t always think about taking shortcuts,” said the Void Mirror.

"Don't worry, senior, I was just complaining a little," Ling Xuan said with a smile.

At this moment, Ling Xuan thought of his ancestor, who seemed to know quite a few experts. The Candle Dragon King had lived for so many years and had seen more geniuses than he had ever known.

Moreover, their status is special. These venerable figures of the human race may not all know Zhulong King, but Zhulong King certainly knows them inside and out.

Know which Venerable Ones are powerful and which are reliable.

Ling Xuan was immediately teleported to the palace of the Candle Dragon King on Tianzhou Island.

Since the Candle Dragon King had only recently been resurrected by the Lord of False Gold, he had not yet gone out to roam and was still diligently cultivating and digesting the 'insights' he had gained after his fall.

Therefore, a trace of consciousness is left in the virtual universe.

Upon seeing Ling Xuan's arrival, the Candle Dragon King smiled kindly. "What trouble have you encountered this time?"

Ling Xuan fawned over the mission, then rubbed his hands together, saying, "Why don't you come too? Many cosmic venerables are very interested."

If the Candle Dragon King were to come and support me, it would be equivalent to having countless cosmic lords standing behind me. With the experts introduced by the Candle Dragon King, the first hurdle of this mission would be easily overcome.

"Hehe, what you're worried about now is whether those cosmic venerables will listen to you, right?" Candle Dragon King laughed.

"exactly."

"Your initial thinking was actually correct; you are a direct disciple of the Giant Axe."

Although your strength is still weak, and the other cosmic venerables don't care much about this identity now, the other disciples and grand-disciples under the Giant Axe Sect cannot completely avoid this identity issue.

Choosing Venerable Qianyue was the right decision. I know Qianyue; he's a high-level Venerable with considerable strength, and a once-renowned genius.

"Then shall I continue to choose other disciples?" Ling Xuan said.

"Of course we can't do that," the Candle Dragon King shook his head and said in denial.

"Although the Giant Axe Arena was created by Giant Axe himself, he did not want it to become his own personal power. This is one of the reasons why Giant Axe doesn't like to get involved in things. You also need to share some benefits with the strong members of other factions. This will help you build your foundation and network in the future."

"I would be grateful if you could offer some guidance, Ancestor. I know too few powerful individuals," Ling Xuan asked.

"You've come to the right person. I, your ancestor, know quite a few powerful individuals."

"First, you need to win over those powerful people who are already close to you, otherwise they might not give you face once you get to that secret realm."

“I suggest you choose three women from the tribes of your three wives, one from each tribe, that will be three.”

"Oh?" Ling Xuan felt that this made sense.

His wife's clan was considered half of his own clan, and if he prospered, those powerful people would naturally support him.

And once I become the ruler of the universe, these people will surely take the initiative to serve under me.

“I suggest you give the last spot to Venerable Guiyi.”

“The Venerable Guiyi?” Ling Xuan was somewhat puzzled. Wasn’t this the Virtual Universe Company?
The second disciple of the Lord of Chaos City.
