The Nine Secrets of Swallowing the Stars Combined

"Hahaha, don't have any other thoughts. The Lords of the Universe are all supreme and great beings. Don't think you've suffered a loss just because you didn't become a disciple of the Chaos City Lord!" Venerable Golden Arrow looked at Ba Qi with a hearty smile on his face.

"Indeed, although the Lord of Chaos City is the strongest and has the highest status, in my opinion, he is too selfless. As a teacher, he lacks the protectiveness and closeness that some teachers should show!" Venerable Blood Luo chimed in, his tone gentle and full of comfort.

"Haha, not bad. When it comes to protecting one's own, the Lord of Ice Peak is truly unmatched!" Venerable Lieyu laughed.

"That's right, just look at Sha Gu. He's usually incredibly arrogant and domineering, making many people grit their teeth in anger, but in the entire Hong Alliance, there are hardly any who dare to truly offend him!" Venerable Chi Hao chimed in with a smile, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing. "Even those cosmic overlords have to keep their distance from him!"

"Chi Hao, stop talking nonsense. I'm not usually that arrogant." Venerable Sha Gu raised an eyebrow and glanced at Venerable Chi Hao with feigned displeasure, but there was little real anger in his tone.

"How dare you say that?" Devouring Realm King leaned closer, his tone mocking, his eyes full of laughter. "Who in the entire Hong Alliance doesn't know that you, Venerable Shagu, have always acted arrogantly, relying on the Lord of Ice Peak's backing?"

"Hmph, even if it is, it's all based on my own strength, it has nothing to do with my teacher!" Venerable Shagu retorted, his neck stiff, but a hint of smugness flashed across his face.

"You're just bragging! You can only fool those who don't know the truth. Everyone knows that every time you get into trouble, it's the Lord of Ice Peak who covers for you." Devouring Realm King mercilessly exposed him, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"Exactly, stop being so stubborn!"

The crowd chatted and joked with Venerable Shagu, making the atmosphere in the hall even more lively.

Ba Qi sat to the side, watching the seniors in front of him get along so well and without any airs, and a relaxed smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"The Lord of Ice Peak?" Ba Qi pondered to himself, without a trace of disappointment in his eyes—he would never have held a grudge about not being able to become a disciple of the Chaos City Lord. On the contrary, he shared the same thought as everyone else, believing that the Chaos City Lord was too fair and selfless, and not the best choice for a teacher.

He preferred a teacher like King Zhenyan, who was straightforward, domineering, and direct, and most importantly, extremely protective of his own, giving his disciples enough confidence.

Compared to the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Ice Peak is undoubtedly closer to the True King of Yan in temperament. He is the kind of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside—appearing aloof and distant, but extremely protective of his own people.

Ba Qi knew clearly that in the original story, when he learned that Yan Di was persecuting his own kind, the Lord of Ice Peak was the first to stand up and chase after him without hesitation. His protectiveness and decisiveness were evident.

However, Ba Qi also had a doubt in his heart. The Virtual Universe Company clearly had a Dark Lord and his disciple, Lord Youhou. Why didn't these two Universe Lords participate in taking on disciples?

In terms of strength, the Lord of Darkness is in no way inferior to the Lord of Chaos City, and is even stronger than the Lord of Ice Peak and the Lord of Dragon Journey.

But this doubt was fleeting, and Ba Qi did not delve into it. After all, for him, it was not important who he studied under.

His foundation lies in the Nine Secrets Inheritance, and the Beast God's Egg has already been successfully conceived. As long as there is enough energy and time, the Beast God's clone can hatch, and he will eventually possess the combat power of a Universe Lord.

"The Lord of Ice Peaks should be sending you an email soon." At this moment, the Blood Domain Lord looked at Ba Qi, "Don't be impolite then."

"Haha, so you're still my junior brother!" Venerable Shagu said happily, punching Baqi directly, making him smile bitterly.

"Alright, Ba Qi has just been guided, so let's not disturb him too much," Venerable Golden Arrow said, looking at Ba Qi. "We won't visit you in Chaos City for this entire era. Focus on your cultivation, and we'll throw you a welcome-back party in the Primal Universe when you leave Chaos City!"

"Haha, I'm still in the Guihai Secret Realm. In that case, I have to head back now!" Venerable Chihao laughed.

"What's wrong? I'm also in the Zerg territory, so I have to come back!" Devouring King snorted.

"Come back, everyone. Don't leave anyone behind," the Blood Domain Lord said directly.

"Of course!"

"We must have a welcome-back dinner for our eighth brother!"

Seeing this, Ba Qi was deeply moved. He then bowed solemnly to everyone, saying, "Ba Qi thanks you all, brothers!"

Seeing this, the Blood Domain Lord and his companions became even happier.

After all, even if they are all Black Warriors, even if they come from the same hometown, it is hard to guarantee that the other party is not an extremely selfish, cold-blooded and ruthless person.

But judging from the current situation, Ba Qi is not that kind of person, which naturally makes them happy.

"Haha, we're all family, no need to thank me!"

"Although no one in Chaos City dares to cause trouble, if you happen to encounter someone who doesn't know their place, be sure to tell us. Don't suffer in silence!"

"That's right, whoever dares to bully you is the one who bullies us!"

"Even if it's Chaos City, we'll still storm it!"

"Anyone who dares to bully you deserves to be punished; otherwise, their teacher is really something!"

Hearing their murderous words, Ba Qi was both amused and exasperated. He finally understood that what Venerable Zi Yi and Palace Master Tian Shi had said was probably not unfounded. These seniors were indeed known for their aloofness and domineering nature.

"Alright, let's go first. We won't disturb Eighth Brother as he handles his affairs and can focus on his cultivation," the Blood Domain Lord said.

The crowd waved to Ba Qi and left one after another.

As several figures disappeared into the palace, Ba Qi also turned around and exited the virtual universe, his consciousness returning to the rooftop of the small building in Chaos City.

"My old brothers of mine, they really are..." Ba Qi sat on the rooftop, his face still bearing a wry smile, but his heart was filled with warmth. "Being a loner and unsociable person is one thing, but they even created the Blood Luo Alliance..."

When the Virtual Universe Company receives the Black Warrior, it allows him to bring a certain number of relatives and friends with him when he leaves.

Back then, the Blood Domain Lord and his companions each brought along close associates—blood relatives, master-disciple friends, or loyal subordinates.

These people now live and multiply in the primordial universe, merging with other humans and growing into a force to be reckoned with.

After all, the Blood Alliance has two cosmic overlords, four cosmic venerables, and an invincible Devouring King. Such top-tier combat power is already comparable to some ordinary races in the universe.

Today, the Blood Alliance boasts nearly ten thousand immortal gods and countless realm lords, with its members scattered throughout the territories of the human 1008 universe kingdoms, making it an undeniably powerful force.

"So, I've only just joined, and I've already become the eighth Palace Master of the Blood Luo Alliance?" Ba Qi sat cross-legged on the rooftop, blinking his eyes involuntarily, feeling both amused and exasperated.

The next moment, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and an extreme chill instantly enveloped his entire body.
