Chapter 298 After being crowned a king, Luo Feng becomes his disciple.
Moments later, as his divine body completed its transformation, King Jiuzhen's strength increased a hundredfold, making him a true cosmic venerable.
"Congratulations, Jiuzhen." Lord Youhou, seeing his disciple's breakthrough, beamed with joy: "After years of being stuck at the title of king, today you have finally achieved your wish."
"Thanks to Junior Uncle's book, 'The Secret Record of the Primordial Origin'."
King Jiuzhen humbly replied, "If it weren't for the effect of this secret technique, I wouldn't have been able to discover the problem with my own laws."
"That's something you realized yourself."
Lord Youhou waved his hand, "Understanding the laws is only one of the prerequisites for a breakthrough. Whether one can seize the opportunity to perfect the laws depends on the solidity of one's daily understanding."
After saying this, Youhou looked at the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos City, his tone slightly excited: "Teacher, Senior Uncle, with the example of Jiuzhen, it is enough to prove that the effect of the 'Primordial Secret Record' is indeed as Junior Brother Chen Yuan said."
"So many of our human race are stuck at the stage of becoming kings before they can fully master the laws. If everyone had the help of this secret technique, who knows how many cosmic venerables would be born in the future."
"What you say makes sense." The Lord of Darkness nodded, then looked at the Lord of Chaos City: "What do you think, Senior Brother?"
"It's worth a try." The Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and then said, "However, I suggest that we first popularize this secret technique within the company, and after we have a few more examples, we can hold a high-level meeting to promote it on a large scale."
"Is your concern that other higher-ups might use the excuse that Chen Yuan's contributions are too few to be considered a separate case?"
The Lord of Darkness's eyes flashed.
"That's part of the reason," the Chaos City Lord nodded, and continued, "Another reason is that we want to prove the value of the 'Primordial Secret Records'."
We shouldn't be the ones to proactively explain it; doing so would only make us appear boastful to others.
"Instead of getting bogged down in endless arguments with them, let's make use of the secret technique first."
The Lord of Chaos City smiled slightly: "As long as more Universe Venerables are promoted within the company, the other major forces will inevitably become curious about the reasons. At that time, we can release the 'Primordial Secret Records', which will not only shut some people up but also help Chen Yuan secure higher contribution rewards."
"What Senior Brother says makes sense." The Lord of Darkness nodded. "Alright, let's do it that way."
After the group discussed the matter, they quickly notified the Lord of Dragon Journey and the Lord of Ice Peak. Ultimately, all five decision-makers simultaneously ordered the promotion of the "Primordial Secret Record" within the company.
Soon, all the powerful figures belonging to the Virtual Universe Company who had reached the King-level rank received an email announcing several major events:
First: The privilege of permanent residence in Chaos City for King-level experts and Universe Venerables will be abolished. Instead, a system of alternating residence will be implemented, requiring them to stay in the Primal Universe for a full one hundred epochs before they can return to Chaos City to cultivate for another one hundred epochs.
Second: Once the privilege level reaches the King level, the purchase qualification for the special secret technique "Primordial Secret Record" will be unlocked, with each copy priced at 1 million Chaos Units.
Furthermore, it mandates that those at the peak of the King level and above must purchase and cultivate this skill.
Third: It is strictly forbidden to disclose any details about the "Primordial Secret Records" to the outside world. Violators will be punished as a crime against their entire clan.
This email quickly caused a huge uproar within the company. All the powerful individuals were puzzled as to why the company would suddenly strip them of their right to reside permanently in Chaos City.
In particular, this rule not only targets those who have been granted the title of King, but also includes all the Universe Venerables. Who dares to make such a rule and not be afraid of offending these powerful beings?
However, when these people saw the signature at the very bottom of the email, they were all shocked, because they discovered that the email was actually sent by the company's five top decision-makers.
For a time, the powerful figures within the company dared not openly refute it, but instead began to discuss it privately.
"What's going on? Why is the company suddenly asking us to leave the Initial Universe?"
"What kind of secret technique is the 'Primordial Secret Record' that requires one hundred million Chaos Units?!"
"I protest! I've cultivated diligently for years just to obtain the status of a 'permanent resident' of Chaos City, and the company just cancels it like that?"
The above discussions all came from the mouths of those who had just broken through to the highest level. After all, most of these people had just broken through and did not have enough assets to afford the "Primordial Secret Records", so they did not know the reason why the company did this.
However, for those at the peak of the King level and above, having been forced to purchase secret techniques, they were aware of the flaws in the initial universe and naturally understood the reasons behind the company's decisions.
As a result, those elementary and advanced kings who still wanted to protest saw those peak powerhouses who had been famous for many years withdraw from the initial universe.
It wasn't just the kings who were conferred titles; even the cosmic venerables left with unusual obedience, some even impatiently, as if Chaos City were some kind of monstrous flood.
Moreover, even ordinary powerful figures who had been granted the title of King also received the message, which was a warning from their close relatives.
"Teacher, why did we leave the initial universe? What exactly did the company say?"
"You didn't buy 'The Secret Records of the Primordial Beginning'?"
"Teacher, I've only just been granted the title of king, and my assets are insufficient."
"Alright, you don't need this secret technique for now. Just listen to me and go back to the primordial universe to cultivate for a while."
"—Disciple obeys."
The above dialogues mainly took place among some lower-level kings, while the higher-level kings, after being warned, reluctantly purchased the "Primordial Secret Records," and then learned these secrets. Without saying a word, they fled Chaos City as if fleeing.
As a result, within just a few days of the company's email being released, all the King-level powerhouses in Chaos City seemed to be moving out of the city, a scene that was naturally noticed by those below the King level.
"That's strange. There should be a lecture by the 'Dragon King' today, so why is the Dragon King's residence deserted?"
Luo Feng arrived at a magnificent ancient mansion, only to find it completely empty, without a single person in sight. He was immediately annoyed, wondering if he had misremembered the time.
"Luo Feng, if you remember correctly, the Dragon King's lecture is today."
Babata reminded him, "The other party just posted a new message in the virtual universe explaining this matter. Take a look."
"Message?" Luo Feng clicked on a message that Babata had forwarded to him. It read: "Gentlemen, due to certain reasons..."
"I, the Dragon King, must temporarily leave Chaos City starting today."
"I'll temporarily halt my lectures because I'm going into seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough. I hope that when I return, I'll be a cosmic master, hahaha..."
"Is Yanlong King about to break through?" After reading the information, Luo Feng blinked. "Such an ancient being has actually broken through. No wonder he was in such a hurry to leave."
"It's just a pity that we probably won't be able to hear this powerful expert's lectures in the future."
"Luo Feng! Luo Feng!" Babata exclaimed again, "Look! All the ancient kings who gave lectures released messages at almost the same time. Like Yanlong King, they are all preparing to leave Chaos City!"
"This includes your teacher, King Zhenyan!"
"Teacher Zhenyan Wang?!" Luo Feng was immediately surprised. Upon hearing this news, he realized that something major must have happened within the company, otherwise these ancient kings would not have withdrawn from Chaos City at the same time.
Could there be some danger in Chaos City? But with the Lord of Chaos City here, it shouldn't be possible to encounter any danger.
"No, I need to find out what's going on."
With that thought in mind, Luo Feng flew away from the residence of the Yanlong King and headed towards the residence of the Zhenyan King.
Not long after, he arrived at his teacher's residence and happened to run into King Zhenyan, who was about to leave.
"Teacher!" Upon seeing the figure of True King Yan, Luo Feng hurriedly went to greet him. "Teacher, are you also preparing to leave Chaos City?"
"Luo Feng, you've arrived." King Zhenyan nodded with a smile. "I was just about to send you a message to explain, but since you're here, I'll tell you here instead."
"You're right, I really am leaving Chaos City."
Although he had expected it, Luo Feng was still somewhat surprised to learn that his teacher was really leaving.
You must know that True King Yan, as an ancient being who was invincible as a king, has been in Chaos City for countless epochs. What exactly happened in this primordial universe that even such a being has to leave?
"Teacher, what exactly is going on?" Luo Feng hurriedly asked, "I saw many ancient beings leaving Chaos City. Could it be that some kind of catastrophe is about to erupt in the primordial universe?"
"Disaster? No, no, no, of course not."
King Zhenyan shook his head repeatedly. After a pause, he explained, "Due to the company's senior management's request for confidentiality, I cannot go into too much detail about the specific situation."
"All you need to know is that the company has prepared a special secret technique for us who have been granted the title of King. This technique can increase the probability of breaking through to the level of a Universe Venerable."
"Breaking through to the Universe Venerable Realm?!" Luo Feng was immediately shocked.
"Indeed," King Zhenyan sighed, "We have been stuck at the King level for far too long, yet we are still unable to break through to the Venerable level."
"At first I thought it was because the bottleneck for Venerables was too difficult, but after reading that secret technique, I realized that—"
At this point, King Zhenyan suddenly realized something and stopped talking. Instead, he said, "In short, according to the requirements of the secret technique, we need to return to the primordial universe to cultivate for the secret technique to take effect. This is also the reason why we left Chaos City."
"Given your teacher's skill level, you might hear news of my breakthrough a few hundred years from now."
At this point, King Zhenyan laughed heartily, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Actually, I didn't expect that after staying in Chaos City for so long, the influence of the laws on me would be so low," King Zhenyan thought to himself. "Could it be because the laws were already close to perfection when I was stationed in Chaos City?"
In his early years, Zhenyan King cultivated with a rather frenzied spirit, fighting his way through the primordial universe and ultimately achieving the invincible reputation of being crowned a king.
Unfortunately, he also encountered the bottleneck of the Venerable Realm. After finding it difficult to break through, True King Yan chose to stay in Chaos City in hopes of finding an opportunity to break through.
However, influenced by the laws of the primordial universe, he was unable to break through and remained in Chaos City for countless epochs until he discovered the reason from the Primordial Secret Records.
Fortunately, when True King Yan entered Chaos City, he was already an invincible king.
Therefore, even though he stayed in Chaos City for a long time, the impact on his own laws was not very significant.
As long as he returns to the primordial universe to cultivate the "Primordial Secret Record," True King Yan is even confident that he can sort out his own laws within a hundred years and then break through to the Universe Venerable in one fell swoop.
"So that's how it is," Luo Feng said, suddenly realizing.
After listening to the teacher's explanation, he finally understood why these strong people left.
Thinking that Master Zhenyan now has hope of a breakthrough, Luo Feng was also happy for his teacher: "In that case, disciple wishes Master a successful breakthrough."
"Haha, thank you for your kind words." King Zhenyan laughed heartily. After exchanging a few more words, the two finally parted ways.
After watching his teacher leave Chaos City, Luo Feng withdrew his gaze and thought to himself, "With the departure of the King-level expert from Chaos City, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend classes for a while."
According to Teacher Zhenyan, these ancient kings will not only leave Chaos City, but they will also have to go into seclusion to cultivate, so they will not even have time to enter the virtual universe to teach courses.
"Fortunately, after years of cultivation, my improvement is not small. I have already comprehended 107 kinds of the essence of the laws of space, and I only need to master the last one to fully understand them all."
Thinking of this, Luo Feng immediately decided, "Let's go and study the Chaos Stele."
"Comprehend the Chaos Stele?" Babata asked, puzzled, and reminded him, "Luo Feng, you've run out of attempts to comprehend the Chaos Stele."
"Of course I know that." Luo Feng smiled confidently. "But I haven't crossed the Bridge to Heaven in a long time. The time it takes to walk from here to the City Lord's Mansion is enough for me to cross the Bridge to Heaven and gain the opportunity to comprehend it."
"I see." Babata blinked. "It's been many years since you last crossed the Heavenly Bridge. Back then, you were only on the eighth floor. Now you're probably confident you can even reach the thirteenth floor."
"Perhaps," Luo Feng smiled. "Anyway, it's definitely enough for me to slowly comprehend."
As Luo Feng slowly walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, a wisp of his consciousness also entered the virtual universe and arrived at the Tongtian Bridge plane.
Soon after, shocking news suddenly spread throughout Luo Feng, a domain lord-level member of the four core-level secret realms—the Primal Secret Realm.
While crossing the Sky Bridge, you overcome all obstacles and advance from the eighth floor to the fourteenth floor with unstoppable momentum!
A mere Domain Lord who has only cultivated for a few hundred years was able to pass through the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, achieving a level of understanding of the laws comparable to that of a peak Military Lord.
After the news spread, everyone judged that this was another peerless genius, one that only appears once every ten million epochs, following in the footsteps of Chen Yuan.
Many people are curious about which powerful figure would take notice of such a genius and accept him as a disciple, since the company's powerful figures have already begun to cultivate in seclusion due to the existence of the "Primordial Secret Record".
Not only those who had reached the King level, but even those who had reached the Universe Venerable level went into seclusion.
For the Venerables, although they have already perfected one superior law, if they want to break through to become the Lord of the Universe, there is a second superior law that also needs to be corrected.
Therefore, even though Luo Feng's performance caused a great uproar in the core level, no Venerable Ones have extended an olive branch to him yet.
However, just when many people thought that this unfortunate genius of tens of millions of eras was about to fall into the awkward situation of having no powerful disciples,
Another major piece of news has been released.
Luo Feng formally became a disciple of the Chaos City Lord!
