Chapter 1185

Even among experts of the Immortal Realm, very few can accomplish this.

And now, this young genius intends to demonstrate teleportation—while taking me along with him?

He could hardly believe such a thing.

"Yes, we teleport together."

Fang Yu smiled; around his body, the power of space and time began to flow, and in Lesuo's stunned expression, the spacetime around them spun wildly—next instant, they appeared on another planet: Yeluo Star.

"It's truly teleportation! Let me see—just now we were on Bai Lanxing; the distance between Bai Lanxing and Yeluo Star is 3.6 light-years, yet you teleported us to another planet in one move—meaning your speed exceeds the speed of light by many times…"

Lesuo, this Immortal, felt stunned; even Lord Man Luo and Ming Yu beside Fang Yu wore the same expression.

One single spacetime teleportation—from one planet to another? Such comprehension of spacetime has reached an unimaginable realm. How could our company possibly encounter such a peerless genius?

"Let's return now."

Fang Yu continued to flow the laws of spacetime, took another step, and they reappeared on Bai Lanxing from Yeluo Star.

"Truly incredible. In the past, my company has had some peerless geniuses, but they only barely entered the realm of law comprehension, stepping across the threshold—none possessed such mastery over spacetime. Your talent is exceptional even by headquarters standards—you'll surely attract the attention of the great ones once you arrive!"

Lesuo finally snapped out of his shock, his gaze toward Fang Yu now as if seeing a future Immortal. "Please, let's head to headquarters immediately. As for you, Lord Man Luo and Ming Yu, having discovered such a peerless genius, the headquarters will reward you handsomely."

"Alright."

Lord Man Luo and Ming Yu smiled.

Fang Yu bid farewell to Lord Man Luo and Ming Yu, then entered the F-class starship. In an instant, the entire vessel vanished.

"This Fang Yu will surely become Fang Yu my lord before long."

"It's inevitable. One who comprehends the Space Law and Time Law will be nurtured wherever he goes."

"I heard the headquarters has four Secret Realms: the Endtime Secret Realm, the Heaven-Earth Secret Realm, the Tai Chu Secret Realm, and the Yuan Shi Secret Realm. I wonder which one Fang Yu will enter to cultivate."

"I think this specially recruited genius will most likely enter the Tai Chu Secret Realm. The Heaven-Earth and Endtime Secret Realms seem too low for him, and for a newcomer to enter the Yuan Shi Secret Realm right away would surely anger the geniuses who rose through past talent wars—so Tai Chu is most probable. I believe, given his talent, he'll eventually reach the legendary Yuan Shi Secret Realm."

"When he returns, he'll be a great one indeed!"

Lord Man Luo and Ming Yu watched the cosmic starship depart, discussing and marveling.

They eagerly anticipated how this genius would perform within the headquarters' Secret Realms—if he returned having cultivated to completion, he would surely be a great one.

At this moment, Fang Yu sat in a luxurious hall aboard the starship—a hall one hundred zhang long and thirty zhang wide, filled with rare spiritual fruits, fragrant wines, and many beautiful maidservants awaiting orders.

"According to our Virtual Universe Company's cultivation methods, you have a high chance of entering the Tai Chu Secret Realm among the Four Secret Realms."

Lesuo sat facing Fang Yu and spoke first.

"Tai Chu Secret Realm."

Fang Yu softly murmured the four characters.

"Let me explain further. In our Virtual Universe Company, there are many core members, but they are not all cultivated identically. In fact, core members are divided into four tiers. If you participate in our Virtual Universe Company's Talent War, those ranked 101st to 1000th may join our core 'Endtime Secret Realm'; those ranked 11th to 100th may join our core 'Heaven-Earth Secret Realm'; those ranked 2nd to 10th may join our core 'Tai Chu Secret Realm'; only the top-ranked may enter our core 'Yuan Shi Secret Realm'."

Lesuo smiled. "In other words, the Endtime Secret Realm, Heaven-Earth Secret Realm, Tai Chu Secret Realm, and Yuan Shi Secret Realm represent different statuses among our Virtual Universe Company's core members."

"It seems the Yuan Shi Secret Realm is the most precious."

Fang Yu's expression shifted slightly as he spoke.

"Naturally. Our company has four Secret Realms, and their names are easy to understand. The evolution of a world begins with the primordial unity of 'Yuan Shi,' then progresses into the 'Tai Chu' state, eventually forming the vast expanse of 'Heaven-Earth,' and when decline comes, it becomes 'Endtime.' Thus, a genius entering the Yuan Shi Secret Realm can comprehend laws with ease, while one in the Endtime Secret Realm receives far inferior cultivation."

Lesuo said.

Fang Yu nodded.

He naturally understood the birth and destruction of the universe—he had studied it too.

After all, he was one who cultivated the Great Calamity Art and the Great Five Elements Art, possessing profound insights into calamity and creation. The development of a world follows the cycle of formation, stability, decay, and emptiness—this was why Fang Yu believed the Great Five Elements Art and Great Calamity Art could evolve into a Great Immortal Art. The Great Five Elements Art could manifest "formation and stability," while the Great Calamity Art could manifest "decay and emptiness." When these two great arts merged, even a slight movement could trigger the birth and destruction of a universe, containing terrifying power.

Within the Virtual Universe Company's core, the residences of core members also differ: the most talented reside in the Yuan Shi Secret Realm, the next tier in the Tai Chu Secret Realm, the following in the Heaven-Earth Secret Realm, and the least exceptional peerless geniuses are confined to the Endtime Secret Realm.

"Our Virtual Universe Company's core members are exceedingly rare. There are normally three ways to become one: first, through the Talent War or Strongest War, selecting the universe's elite geniuses; second, through our company's own cultivation of peerless geniuses; third, through a select few who break through to Immortal Realm and are noticed by our company. The third group are usually the top-tier World Lords—those with immense potential. Useless World Lords are never considered by our company."

Lesuo, seeing Fang Yu seemed to understand, continued. "Only true elites and true powerhouses become core members. Within our four core Secret Realms, if a member of the Endtime Secret Realm encounters a member of the first three realms and the latter is below Immortal, they must address them as 'Prince.' Similarly, Heaven-Earth Secret Realm geniuses must address those of the first two realms as 'Prince,' and Tai Chu Secret Realm members must address those of the Yuan Shi Secret Realm as 'Prince.' These are company rules."

Fang Yu nodded again.

In the universe, only Imperial Princes and princes are typically called 'Prince.' Now, the Virtual Universe Company holds its core members below Immortal in such high regard, placing great hopes on them, hence the title 'Prince.'

"Fang Yu, come with me into the Virtual Universe. Let's first go to the Virtual Headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company."

Lesuo smiled. "As for the starship, let it fly in reality."

"I can lend it a hand."

Fang Yu smiled.

With a thought, the entire starship began spacetime teleportation.

In one instant, countless stars blurred past.

"Truly miraculous…"

Lesuo couldn't help but praise.

A pure F-class starship's maximum speed is only thirty times the speed of light, but this spacetime teleportation far exceeds light speed—possibly teleporting several planets away in a ten-thousandth of a second, reaching tens or even hundreds of thousands of times light speed—utterly terrifying.

This spacetime teleportation is vastly faster than the F-class starship's speed.

At this moment, some of Fang Yu's consciousness entered the Virtual Universe network.

"Teleport!"

Hu!

Fang Yu's form vanished from Heilongshan Island.

The Virtual Headquarters dimension was a floating mountain shrouded in mist—a mountain far larger than ordinary life-planets in reality. Beneath the mountain appeared a figure: Fang Yu.

Soon, Lesuo's form arrived too, smiling as he invited Fang Yu onto the mountain.

"This is our Virtual Universe Company's Virtual Headquarters—it's equivalent to the real headquarters, but the Virtual Headquarters is even livelier, since many great figures cannot remain permanently in the real headquarters, yet their consciousnesses can reach the Virtual Headquarters."

Lesuo smiled.

"Mm."

Fang Yu nodded.

In reality, many geniuses had to go out to travel; of course, they couldn't stay at the real headquarters all the time. But even when they went out to travel and completed missions, their consciousness could still reach the virtual headquarters.

This feeling was quite pleasant.

Fang Yu felt that if the Yuhua Sect also had this kind of virtual network, it would be greatly beneficial for the disciples' training.

Just think — a true disciple of the Yuhua Sect arrives at the Ruins of Return seeking an opportunity, yet his consciousness could remain in the virtual Yuhua Sect. If at that moment the disciple found an opportunity he couldn't fully swallow on his own, or got into a conflict with disciples of other sects, he could immediately call for help within the virtual Yuhua Sect, letting other Yuhua Sect disciples arrive at that location and share the great benefit together.

This kind of virtual-and-real interaction method could greatly enhance the Yuhua Sect disciples' ability to preserve their lives, and greatly increase their chances of obtaining treasures.

Unlike some disciples who went out on their own, finally saw a benefit after great difficulty, but failed to receive strong support — they didn't get the benefit, and they themselves perished. Even after death, the Elders of the Yuhua Sect wouldn't know exactly where they had died.

"This mountain peak suspended in the clouds and mist is called 'Rain Image Mountain.' The entire Rain Image Mountain is divided into five districts: the 'Primordial District,' the 'Grand Beginning District,' the 'Heaven and Earth District,' the 'End Times District,' and the 'Public District.' The area of these five districts is roughly the same."

Raisuo began introducing again.

"Among them, the Primordial District has no more than 120 people, the Grand Beginning District has roughly over a thousand, the Heaven and Earth District has roughly over ten thousand, the End Times District has tens of millions, and as for the Public District, people from every district can enter."

"Generally speaking, the elites screened out from within the headquarters who enter the core layer all enter the End Times District. Some outstanding Realm Masters who are absorbed in also go to the End Times District. Most of the geniuses selected through the Genius Battle and the Strong Battle also enter the End Times District. So now the End Times District has the most people, and the housing in the End Times District is also very crowded — each person can be allocated one apartment. As for the Heaven and Earth District, each person gets one villa. As for the Grand Beginning District, there are independent cultivation grounds and exclusive study grounds — extremely lavish. And the Primordial District is one luxurious manor after another."

Raisuo continued.

"I don't want to be allocated just one apartment."

Fang Yu smiled inwardly.
