Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Chapter 264 Conversation

"Haha, it's rare to have a good friend come to visit me."

With a burst of laughter, the pitch-black gate opened automatically, and a three-eyed old man dressed in what appeared to be a linen robe walked out. This three-eyed old man was none other than "Kandri," the guardian who had created 52 clones to protect the Chaos Monument.

"It's been a long time. I've come to visit a good friend," said the Nine Swords Venerable with a smile.

"I heard you even took on a disciple. Jiang Chen is a good kid, but surely he doesn't need to take on disciples?" Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile. "When you took on a disciple, it shocked a lot of people."

"Hehe, I just took him on as a disciple when I felt like it. He's only a nominal disciple yet. Whether he can become a full disciple depends on the little guy's own abilities," Kandri said with a chuckle.

"By the way, if that little guy becomes an immortal, he'll still be under your command, Nine Swords. Sorry for stealing your subordinate."

"Haha, just a little guy. You said it yourself last time, consider it his luck." Nine Swords Venerable didn't care.

Even the most talented genius faces immense difficulty in becoming immortal. If Jiang Chen, at the cosmic level, could pass the ninth or tenth level, perhaps he would also try to compete for it.

Right now, he's just so-so, a rather talented little genius.

The Universe Venerable is extremely selective in accepting disciples. He generally disdains to take on top geniuses like Jiang Chen and Bo Lan.

Therefore, Kandri's sudden acceptance of a disciple caused such a huge uproar at the upper levels, and even the Nine Swords Venerable couldn't help but say a few words this time.

The two walked side by side into the living room of the mansion and sat down facing each other.

The three-eyed old man smiled as he poured the fruit wine, saying, "Nine Swords, you wouldn't come here if there wasn't something wrong. So, what is it?"

"Haha, then I'll just say it directly."

The Nine Swords Venerable smiled and said, "We have just discovered a new cosmic secret realm. It is estimated to be of an extremely high level."

"Oh?" The three-eyed old man's eyes lit up.

Cosmic secret realms are unique and mysterious places that naturally formed during the evolution of the vast universe.

The original universe is the largest, oldest, and most powerful known universe.

The secret realms in the original universe vary in their level of danger and the treasures they contain.

"How advanced is this cosmic secret realm?" Kandri asked with some anticipation.

"Anyone below the Venerable level who goes in is almost certain to die," the Nine Swords Venerable laughed. "The chances of those who have been granted the title of King and Immortal being surviving are extremely low."

"Oh, this is interesting!" The three-eyed old man was intrigued.

Some cosmic secret realms can be explored by realm lords. These realms generally do not contain many treasures, and most of the deaths are due to fighting and killing each other while vying for treasures.

However, even the most advanced immortals can die, threatening even the most powerful cosmic beings. Such cosmic secret realms are extremely dangerous, but the treasures that appear there are so rare that even immortals would fight tooth and nail for them, and even cosmic beings would be tempted to encounter them.

Only such secret realms can attract a group of top experts.

"I just discovered this recently. I never invite people I don't trust. I came here not only to pick up these little ones, but also specifically to invite you."

The Nine Swords Venerable looked at the three-eyed old man, "Kandri, what do you say, are you going or not?"

Kandri hesitated for a moment.

"Anyway, your clone can protect the Chaos Monument. Besides, with the 'City Lord of Chaos' here, there's no danger at all," Nine Swords Venerable said, shaking his head.

"The initial universe was just a small universe that had just evolved, less than one ten-millionth the size of our original universe."

"Kandri, you haven't been out for tens of thousands of epochs, have you? It's time to go out and try your luck; perhaps a great opportunity awaits you."

The three-eyed old man's eyes lit up.

Now, he's been persuaded and is tempted.

"Notify me when we gather." The three-eyed old man looked at the Nine Swords Venerable.

That's right, he has clones. If there's danger, the clones will go first. What's there to be afraid of?

"Haha, with Kandere here, we have a much better chance of winning." Nine Swords Venerable laughed.

Kandri is an ancient being in the universe, and is referred to as the "Guardian of Chaos City" by other super-powerful beings of various races in the universe.

The title of "Guardian of Chaos City" is far more prestigious than that of "Nine Swords Venerable".

The clone technique is Candri's most famous move.

His clone technique is not simply about creating a clone.

For an "immortal being," creating clones is easy, but "Kandri" creates clones that possess almost 60% of his power.

Therefore, using a clone to explore dangerous places is a very safe thing to do.

Using clones for exploration generally eliminates the risk to oneself. However, it's not 100% guaranteed that there's no danger, such as the greatest threat to all clones: soul attacks!

All the clones share the same soul. If someone's will controls Kandri's soul, then no matter how many clones there are, it will be useless.

However, it is impossible to control the soul of a cosmic venerable, or even the most renowned guardian of Chaos City, or the strongest being in the universe, without such control.

Suddenly, the Nine Swords Venerable frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Kandri asked, puzzled.

"It's a small matter," the Nine Swords Venerable said with a calm smile. "Rong Jun, one of the newest batch of geniuses in our Virtual Universe Company and the one Yuan Chen took as his disciple, just passed through the fourth level of the Bridge to Heaven."

"The fourth level? Not bad." Kander praised, "Very few genius newcomers who come to Chaos City for the first time pass the fourth level."

"Yes, including Rong Jun, there are already four in this batch! Jiang Chen, Bo Lan, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun." The Nine Swords Venerable revealed a smile.

"Yes, these little ones might become your right-hand men in the future." Candri nodded slightly.

Said.

The Nine Swords Venerable smiled.

On the rooftop of the cultivation residence.

Jiang Chen, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in meditation, opened them, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Rong Jun has passed the fourth level?"

"Sure enough, Rong Jun is the kind of guy who becomes more and more surprising as time goes on. If Luo Feng hadn't had a lot of opportunities later on, he probably would have been surpassed by Rong Jun."

"Of course, so am I."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, then closed his eyes and continued to meditate. No matter how noisy the outside world was, it had nothing to do with him; he could just focus on his cultivation.

To attempt the seventh level with my current strength is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Jiang Chen didn't care, but the news that Rong Jun had passed the fourth level excited a large group of people.

Rong Jun passed through the third level in his 13th year in Chaos City.

However, every three levels is a hurdle, and it is very, very difficult to go from the third level to the fourth level.

Whether it was Jiang Chen, Bo Lan, or Luo Feng, it all took them quite a while to pass the fourth level.

"Rong Jun passed the fourth level? Yet another fourth level?"

The other geniuses also received the news almost simultaneously, and one by one, they were spurred on to attempt to cross the Tongtian Bridge.

This time, Jiang Chen had no interest in watching the excitement and continued to immerse himself in his cultivation.
