Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 99 The Venerable One

In the virtual universe, in the central square, a giant screen stands directly in front.

Everyone stared blankly at the leaderboard, at the top name, Luo Shen, and the long string of points behind him—77777770000!

All seven trial towers have been cleared!

Although long ago, as soon as Luo Shen entered the first level of the seventh trial tower and began to erupt, some people speculated whether he might be able to clear all seven trial towers.

however.

When the truth was laid bare before them, they could hardly believe their eyes.

God!

The seven trial towers meticulously set up by the Virtual Universe Company were originally intended to keep all the participants out, but it turns out that some star-level geniuses were actually able to cross them!

"Hey? Why isn't Dao Kuang out yet?"

"Yes, we've cleared all the levels, so we should be able to leave the trial space by now."

Many geniuses in the square quickly noticed this. Luo Shen, who should have appeared in the central square after clearing the level, was nowhere to be found. The clever ones had already deduced that it was the work of the Virtual Universe Company.

That is indeed the case.

Luo Shen had just emerged from the trial space when the Nine Swords Venerable used spatial teleportation to bring him here.

I glanced down.

Below lies an incredibly vast continent, with 1008 towering buildings rising like mountain peaks in the center, clearly the continent where millions of geniuses gather.

"Greetings, Venerable One!"

Luo Shen bowed respectfully to the Nine Swords Venerable beside him.

From the moment he first saw the Nine Swords Venerable, he guessed that he had been brought here by the other party.

Somewhat unexpectedly, a bald man in a fiery red robe was standing next to the other party, with a kind smile on his face, making him instantly likable.

"Luo Shen, come, quickly pay your respects to Venerable Guiyi," Venerable Nine Swords said with a smile.

Upon hearing the words "Guiyi Venerable," Luo Shen's eyes widened immediately. This was the third disciple of the Chaos City Lord, a true cosmic overlord!

He is much stronger than a newly promoted Venerable like the Nine Swords Venerable.

Although Luo Shen had already anticipated that passing all seven trial towers would attract the attention of the company's higher-ups, he never expected that Venerable Guiyi would personally descend upon him.

the most important is.

Venerable Guiyi has been serving in Chaos City and would not act rashly unless there is something else going on. His sudden appearance at the Genius Battle today must have been instructed by the transcendent being behind him.

"Wow, we really caught a big fish!"

Luo Shen thought to himself, took a deep breath, and respectfully bowed to the bald man: "Greetings, Venerable Guiyi."

"No need for such formalities."

Venerable Guiyi smiled and said, "I came here because the Lord of Chaos City learned that a super genius has emerged in this year's Genius Battle who has passed through seven trial towers, so he specially sent me to take a look."

Although the other party spoke lightly, both the Nine Swords Venerable and Luo Shen understood the meaning behind it.

The Lord of Chaos City has taken a liking to Luo Shen's talent!

The Nine Swords Venerable, standing to the side, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The appearance of Venerable Guiyi brought him both good news and bad news. The good news was that the Genius Battle he was in charge of produced many geniuses, one of whom even cleared all seven trial towers. The bad news was that this genius had already been targeted before he could even get his hands on him.

Let alone warming it up.

There wasn't even a chance to touch it.

"According to the teacher, you are still in the stage of building a foundation. If someone is there to guide you, you can avoid a lot of detours."

As he spoke, Venerable Guiyi rubbed his bald head and said, "Your talent in spatial laws is quite good. Based on your performance in the seven trial towers, you should have already comprehended the first nine spatial essences, right?"

Although it was a question, Venerable Guiyi's tone was quite certain.

A cosmic overlord like him, who has almost complete control over the laws of space and time, can easily see through Luo Shen's true nature with just a few clues.

"Yes, Your Excellency," Luo Shen replied honestly.

Although he has good talent, it's best not to act arrogantly in front of such a powerful figure, otherwise a single glance from the other party would be enough to make him suffer greatly.

"However, at the mere Hengxing level, one can comprehend the essence of nine spaces with just one set of 'Bloodstained'."

Venerable Guiyi couldn't help but praise, "Your talent ranks among the top three of all the geniuses I've seen over the years. No wonder my teacher specifically sent me here to assess you."

The Nine Swords Venerable, thinking that Luo Shen was unaware of the Chaos City Lord's power, hurriedly explained, "The Chaos City Lord is one of the supreme beings of our human race, and also the ruler of our Virtual Universe Company, on par with the founder of the Giant Axe Arena."

Luo Shen smacked his lips.

I was still thinking about what that "examination" meant.

Does he have to master some kind of Seven Transformations of the Beast God like Luo Feng did in the original story before he can become an apprentice? But he doesn't have the Golden Horned Beast clone, nor does he have the Beast God statue, so it might be a bit difficult.

Then Venerable Guiyi said, "After the Genius Battle ends, you will be able to enter the Primal Secret Realm of Yuxiang Mountain. At that time, I will stay at your manor and personally guide your cultivation."

permanent?

Holy crap! Even a Primal Realm Master doesn't get this kind of treatment. This is a universe overlord, how could he have the time to guide a little guy like him?

Luo Shen always felt that things weren't that simple; after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch!

"Of course, I won't stay here forever."

As if sensing Luo Shen's doubts, Venerable Guiyi laughed and said, "I will stay for a maximum of one hundred years. If you have not met the requirements by the time you leave Chaos City after your cultivation, then there is no need to say anything more."

The meaning is obvious.

For the next hundred years, Venerable Guiyi will personally guide him and assess his talent for the Lord of Chaos City.

If the requirements are met, the legendary Lord of Chaos City will personally intervene. Whether he will accept you as a disciple or a formal disciple depends on your performance.

Think about this.

Luo Shen immediately bowed to Venerable Guiyi without hesitation: "Thank you for your guidance, Venerable One!"

"He's quite clever." Venerable Guiyi smiled, flipped his right hand, and a silver briefcase appeared in his hand. He then controlled it to fly directly to Luo Shen.

Luo Shen looked completely bewildered.

Venerable Guiyi casually said, "This is a secret technique that I created myself back then, called 'The Return of All Things to One.' It is a secret technique that summarizes and applies the laws of space. It is not very precious, but it will be of good help to you in comprehending the essence of space and using the laws of space in battle. Consider it a gift for us."

Automatically filtering out Versailles-like phrases like "not precious," Luo Shen focused his attention on the latter part of the statement.

Since Venerable Guiyi said it would be helpful, it must be of great use.

Especially since the secret techniques he is currently cultivating, apart from "Blood Flowing," have almost all reached their limits, he definitely needs to switch to stronger secret techniques to accelerate his comprehension of the laws.

However, we don't know what exactly the requirements Venerable Guiyi was referring to.
