Chapter 183: Personal Disciple

Wu Chen Continent.

The space rippled faintly, and Gui Yi Zunzhe appeared before Xiao Yu.

"Senior brother!" Xiao Yu respectfully saluted.

"Good kid, you really have it!" Gui Yi Zunzhe laughed scoldingly.

Xiao Yu awkwardly scratched his head.

"Let's go, teacher is waiting." Gui Yi Zunzhe placed one hand on Xiao Yu's shoulder.

The entire Wu Chen Continent is under the Chaos City Lord's control; without the Chaos City Lord's permission, even a Venerable cannot perform Instant Teleportation or traverse.

Swish!

The two vanished instantly.

The space shifted, and when they reappeared, the two had arrived deep within the Primordial Secret Realm.

An endless river encircled the surrounding starry sky, surrounding the undulating palace complex.

Suddenly, Hun Dun currents automatically split toward both sides.

Xiao Yu felt surrounded by a gentle yet domineering force.

"Yes, teacher." Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

Qianbao River, Top-level Domain Treasure (type)!

He also wants it! Not just one, but countless!

"Let's go, teacher is inside!" Gui Yi Zunzhe, leading Xiao Yu, arrived at the center of the palace complex, before the most magnificent palace.

When he first saw Xiao Yu, he only displayed an astonishing rule‑perception talent; upon meeting again, he had become a perfect‑gene life.

Inside the hall, Hun Dun currents permeated, and the surroundings were hazy.

Just looking at Xiao Yu's 1.8‑meter stature and the indistinct gene tier, the doubts and confusion in his heart grew.

A human silhouette towering tens of thousands of kilometers stepped out.

"This is Qianbao River!" Xiao Yu thought to himself.

"Come in!" a gentle voice called.

It can't be a bastard of the Primordial Universe, can it? Otherwise, how could one just after advancing to Domain Lord Level become a perfect‑gene life?

"Show us the embodiment of your ascension to a perfect‑gene life, and let us see," the Chaos City Lord said gently.

This is the Chaos City Lord's Qianbao River avatar.

Space shift!

Xiao Yu and Gui Yi Zunzhe had already entered the great hall, standing amid Hun Dun currents.

This kid's secret is huge.

"Teacher." Gui Yi Zunzhe respectfully saluted.

"Greetings, teacher!" Xiao Yu said while respectfully saluting.

"Teacher, Xiao Yu has arrived!" Gui Yi Zunzhe said, respectfully saluting.

Its entire skin glowed silver‑white, its head bore thousands of tentacles, and a pair of eyes like vast lakes exuded serenity and tranquility.

"Xiao Yu." The Chaos City Lord's gaze was filled with doubt, admiration, and anticipation.

Barefoot, he stepped on the waves, wielding a mottled, scar‑covered stone staff; he wore a seemingly ordinary garment, on which thousands of artifacts emitted sounds that pierced the soul, each thread of the garment like a raging river.

A thought flickered, 'Space‑Time Shift' reversed, and his body instantly expanded to over 90,000 km tall, several times taller than the Chaos City Lord, naturally radiating an impeccable aura.

Gui Yi Zunzhe and the Chaos City Lord both felt a slight urge to bow their heads in reverence.

This is the Primordial Universe's loyal love for perfect‑grade life.

Ordinary beings, whose realms are low, cannot resist such an impulse.

The Chaos City Lord, looking at Xiao Yu's superhuman height, suppressed those impulses in his heart, and instantly had no doubt left.

"From today onward, you are my direct disciple," the Chaos City Lord smiled, "My 32nd direct disciple."

"Thank you, teacher." Xiao Yu respectfully saluted again, while his form reverted to a height of 1.8 m.

Respecting the teacher and the Dao is very important.

Especially in the cultivation world.

"Junior junior brother, congratulations," Gui Yi Zunzhe congratulated, "When we first met, I sensed this day would not be far away."

"Thanks to senior brother's guidance," Xiao Yu bowed slightly.

The Chaos City Lord smiled; he was pleased to see this scene.

Senior brothers and juniors should help each other and support one another.

"I saw you purchase 'Universe True Explanation' many times, so I will give you the complete set," the Chaos City Lord smiled at Xiao Yu, "However, as I previously said, you must first clear the 15th floor of the Sky Bridge before I formally accept you as a direct disciple, so you still need to attempt it."

"Thank you, teacher." Xiao Yu nodded.

"Among my 32 disciples, five have already perished. Twenty‑seven are alive, of which twenty‑five are Universe Venerables, and one is a Seal King at the pinnacle Immortal. With your talent, the bright avenue of time and space is still open; becoming a Venerable is not difficult, even becoming the Lord of the Universe and reaching a level like mine is possible. But to surpass the Lord of the Universe and become the Strongest of the Universe is difficult," the Chaos City Lord smiled.

"I, the disciple, will spare no effort to become the Human Race's second Strongest of the Universe and protect the Human Race," Xiao Yu occasionally spoke his true feelings.

In his previous life he was like this, and today he is still willing to be so.

The future path of the Human Race remains arduous, especially after the Great Axe's fall, lacking the suppression of the Strongest of the Universe; parts of the Human Race's territories must face a crisis of division among the races.

At this moment, Xiao Yu from the bottom of his heart wished to prevent the Great Axe's fall, to once again become a True God, to become an even stronger champion.

"From now on, you may directly use Instant Teleport to go to my palace on Thunder Island," the Chaos City Lord said with a look of satisfaction, glad that the junior disciple had such ambition, "If you have any doubts in cultivation, you may ask me in my palace on Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe. As for this Qianbao River, without my command you need not come here."

"Yes, teacher." Xiao Yu said respectfully.

"In the past, you were merely a talented individual at Virtual Universe Company; though rare, one or two such talents appear every ten million eras, and many have emerged throughout Human Race history, such as the current Universe Venerables and Lords of the Universe, each a genius recognized in ten thousand or a hundred million eras," the Chaos City Lord smiled.

"Therefore, even if you display an even more astonishing talent, you still must follow the general path prescribed by the company's regulations," the Chaos City Lord continued.

Virtual Universe Company has a plan for all core members.

Like Universe-level protection inside the company's various secure secret realms, doing cultivation tasks.

Domain Lord Level external release assumes great authority, arranges major adjudication missions, tests decision‑making ability; although there is some danger, it still remains within the Human Race's territory.

Realm Lord Level, undergo life‑and‑death trials, to the Outer Realm Battlefield, to various secret realms.

"But now that you have become a perfect gene life, the conventional path is already somewhat unsuitable, the risk is too great," the Chaos City Lord said.

The temptation of a perfect gene life is too great; once the wind is released, who knows how many will come to seize the body, even within the Human Race many would choose to do so.

Moreover, if Xiao Yu had not displayed such defying talent, if he had not already become his disciple, even he would want to select an outstanding disciple to seize.

Let alone others; some strong ones are truly lawless.

A Domain Lord Level perfect gene life—how defying the heavens!

Unfortunately, even if Xiao Yu becomes a Realm Lord, he still has to worry.

Only after Xiao Yu becomes Immortal can he be at ease.

Because at Immortal Level, the soul has already fully merged with divine power, making seizure impossible.

Thus, under normal circumstances, the highest realm that can be seized is Realm Lord Level.

"I have already lost a genius disciple Kedi; I absolutely do not want to lose an even more brilliant Xiao Yu," the Chaos City Lord's voice grew low.
