LRAB Chapter 28, Invitation
Chapter 28, Invitation
Virtual universe, Yunmeng Lake, cottage, quiet room on the third floor.
Ye Muxuan looked at the other two teleportation points in front of him, reached out, and clicked on one.
……
In a virtual universe, in a special dimension, above the massive Rain Mountain, floats Thunder Island.
If Rain Mountain is the gathering place for the core members of the Virtual Universe Company below the Immortal level, where all members below the Immortal level, as well as members of the four great secret realms of Primordial, Beginning, Heaven and Earth, and End of the World, reside, then Thunder Island is the true gathering place for the strong.
Thunder Island is home to the Immortals at its foot, the Venerables at its waist, and the palace of the Cosmic Lord, a supreme being, nestled among the ethereal clouds at its summit.
On the mountainside, in a magnificent palace, a human immortal with a single, proud horn atop his head, was reporting to the palace's master.
"You mean, among this batch of new realm masters, there is one who has passed the thirteenth level, three who have passed the twelfth level, and five who have passed the eleventh level?" The majestic man on the throne, the master of the palace, looked down at the immortals below.
"Yes, sir. More than 1,200 of the new recruits have already crossed the Tongtian Bridge, and there are still more than 200 left. The overall data is basically accurate."
"And what about within the Immortal realm?"
"Among the Immortals, the highest level a Marquis Immortal can reach is the sixteenth level, and the highest level a Military Lord Immortal can reach is the thirteenth level."
This is the difference in talent between a genius realm master and an ordinary immortal!
"As is customary, we will extend invitations to them. Among the Realm Lords, four are qualified to enter the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, while the other five can choose to enter the Doomsday Secret Realm. As for the Immortals, I will handle that myself." The imposing man on the throne pondered for a moment before making his decision.
The training of Primordial Secret Realm Masters is extremely complex, and even the quota for members of the Primordial Secret Realm cannot be decided by myself alone; it requires discussion with the other Venerables in charge of this matter. However, the quota for members of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and the Doomsday Secret Realm, as long as they have a proven track record of crossing the Heavenly Bridge, I, as a high-ranking member of the Virtual Universe Company's management team, with the strength and status of a dignified universe overlord, can still make the decision.
What's more, it's my turn to host now.
The Tongtian Bridge level of the thirteenth layer of the Realm Lord level is already at the level of the current virtual universe's secret realms, or even the Primordial Secret Realm.
If these people are truly geniuses, they can rise against the odds anywhere. If they lack talent, even if they enter the core level, they will only remain on the outermost layer.
Even if a typical Realm Lord gains the recognition of the Origin Law, their understanding of the law will only reach the ninth or even eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven. With such talent and strength, there is absolutely no hope of breaking through to Immortality. Even if they manage to break through by chance, they will only be the weakest Immortality, and at that time they will not even be qualified to enter the Doomsday Secret Realm. In the Primal Secret Realm, there are even Universe-level beings who have passed the eighth level.
……
Not only the Virtual Universe Company, but also the other four of the five major human powers immediately took notice of these newcomers. After all, these newcomers from the extraterrestrial battlefield and the auction didn't have clear affiliations like those from the Genius Battle and the Strongest Battle, nor did they have direct subordinates. Even if they tried to recruit them, it wouldn't be considered poaching. Especially those from the extraterrestrial battlefield, who had survived at least 50,000 years of life-and-death trials; their probability of breaking through to the Immortal realm was far higher than that of those who entered through the auction.
Even the three forces other than Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Arena showed even greater sincerity in their efforts to win them over.
After all, they weren't qualified to select talented members through battles of the strong and battles of geniuses. The geniuses they discovered and recommended through their own organizations within various universes were far less stable than those from the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena. Not only in quantity, but also in quality, they were inferior.
Judging from the top geniuses in their respective best secret realms, Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Arena are still far ahead, with the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance close behind, while the two major banks can only scrape by.
The five major powers within humanity are naturally united against external forces, but their internal competition has never ceased. Those at the top are well aware of this, and the higher-ups have never objected to this competition.
……
The primordial universe, Chaos City.
On the rooftop of the gray building, Ye Muxuan, who had been sitting quietly for a month, opened his eyes.
"After a month of reflection, the gains are quite good." Looking up at the law runes exposed above his head, Ye Muxuan finally stood up after transforming all the gains from the Tongtian Bridge, the Illusionary Sea, and comprehending the Chaos Stele over the past month into the foundation for his breakthrough to immortality.
Immortality is getting closer and closer.
"Jiufeng, how many emails are there this month?"
"Master, there are a total of 94 emails and 45 call requests."
Ye Muxuan looked up at the law runes above his head and sent a wisp of his consciousness into the virtual universe.
A month ago, after venturing into the Illusionary Sea and the Immortal Altar, he shut down his virtual universe receiver and sat quietly on the rooftop of the gray building, lost in thought. Therefore, no matter which faction, organization, or individual, could contact him unless they came directly to the rooftop.
However, in Chaos City, no one is allowed to disturb another person's comprehension of the fundamental laws!
The main problem is that he's too weak right now. So weak that he can't directly refuse any invitation, no matter which side it's from! But he still wants to choose carefully and consider which faction to join.
Cultivation consumes too many resources. Moreover, this universe is vast, and when one is not powerful enough, it's crucial to have a strong backer. Even beast gods, born with the strength of a universe master, could be dismembered simply because their blood, scales, and fur were discovered to be treasures beneficial for cultivation. Even the Ancestral God Sect, one of the nine super powers, couldn't protect them. For a mere realm lord like him to have such a powerful backer and not seek it out would be pure foolishness.
Virtual universe, Yunmeng Lake, lakeside cabin, three-story quiet room.
I quickly browsed through the emails and call requests. They were mainly formal invitations from the heads of the external departments of the five major powers, as well as call requests from some acquaintances, such as Kong Yan, Zhen Dan, Li Zheng, and Qing Lun.
As for the call requests and emails from strangers, Ye Muxuan read them all. Some were invitations sent on behalf of the five major powers, while others were from powerful individuals who wanted to take on disciples.
Ye Muxuan investigated the identities of these strangers one by one, but given his current status, he could only find out the limits of those at the King level; he couldn't find anything beyond that. However, it was precisely because he couldn't find anything that some information was vaguely revealed.
Ye Muxuan leaned back on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the screen in front of him.
Aside from acquaintances like Zhen Dan, there are a total of 22 powerful individuals willing to take on disciples! Among them, 15 are at the peak of the King-level, 5 are at the limit of the King-level, and the identities of the other two cannot be verified, only indicating insufficient permissions!
