Volume 3 Original Chapter 21: Become a disciple!
The primordial universe is the largest, oldest and most incredible universe known, giving birth to all kinds of life and billions of races.
During the evolution of the primordial universe, most areas evolved into stars, planets, etc. Galaxies are the most common in the universe.
but--
Due to some special unknown reasons, when the original universe evolved, some unconventional "special areas" also evolved. In these special areas, many incomprehensible strange creatures and treasures were born.
Even gave rise to some terrible disasters.
These special areas are called "secret realms of the universe."
The secret realms of the universe come in all sizes, some large and some small. The large ones are even comparable to a cosmic country, and the small ones are comparable to the size of a galaxy.
The secret realm of Tomb River.
This is a remote area extremely far away from the human territory. As an ancient secret realm of the universe, it is extremely vast and boundless.
It is much larger than the "Black Dragon Mountain Star Region".
The danger level in the outskirts of the Tomb River Secret Realm is not too high, even immortal gods can come in and explore, but the depths are extremely dangerous areas, where even the greatest masters of the universe may perish!
In the core area of the "Mysterious Tomb River".
Above the sky.
The pale moonlight was hidden in the gray mist, as if covered with an evil veil.
A towering mountain range stretches endlessly, with the highest point exceeding a million kilometers, but it seems to have collapsed for endless years. A quiet river flows slowly in it. Countless skeletons float in this black river with unknown source and end.
These endless skeletons stretched as far as the eye could see, emitting a pale green glow under the moonlight.
Waves of creepy and shrill howls could be heard from time to time in the sea of bones, and from the endless collapsing mountains, eerie and strange screams of fear could also be heard faintly. Then the screams died down... and turned into the sound of bones breaking.
"Gurgle..." It seemed that an unknown huge monster was chewing something.
At the top of the mountain range.
A silent dead city is 100,000 kilometers high, emitting an eerie black light all around, and the entire dead city is filled with an invisible evil spirit that has lasted for a long time.
The dark blue city walls are covered with mottled marks, telling of its ancient history.
A deep, dark night wind blew.
suddenly--
A figure condensed in the misty fog. A woman in a bright purple robe stood in the void. Her face was vague and could not be seen clearly. Her eyes were indifferent and distant, as if the stars and the sea were condensed in her pupils. She overlooked the deep tomb river, and the time and space around her seemed to be disordered and distorted.
The moment she appeared, the pale moon in the sky was obscured, turning into an infinite starry sky. The originally dead silent sky was suddenly lit up with bright stars.
"Hum!" The sound was like a trembling string, touching the heart in the darkness.
This moment.
The dead city that had been silent for endless years seemed to revive from decay, emitting constant rumbling sounds, and the silent tomb river also became extremely noisy.
Boom——
Countless electric snakes crisscrossed the sky.
A thunderous voice sounded, and the void trembled: "Muxing, this is the 'Mother River Divine Essence' you wanted. From now on, we owe each other nothing!"
call!
Three crystals suddenly flew out from the depths of the dead city. Inside each crystal was a thrilling black liquid that flowed slowly like mercury.
The woman's eyes were like frost as she stared at the three crystals in front of her. Countless pale green eyes seemed to appear in the black liquid. A sharp and strange laugh came from the darkness, like the sound of glass scratching a blackboard.
"good."
The woman's voice was light and clear, and the three crystals disappeared instantly.
"Um?"
"Have you agreed?"
The woman suddenly felt something in her heart. She looked into the infinite void, and a hint of expectation appeared in her eyes.
Boom... It was as if the sky was shattered, the vast starry sky disappeared in an instant, and the woman's figure disappeared with it.
After she leaves.
"I have accumulated so much 'Grave River Essence' in the Grave River Secret Realm over countless epochs, and she took it all away in an instant. It really hurts."
"Humans are born ordinary life forms. Aside from the three top universe overlords who have powerful special life clones, namely, the Lord of the Sky Eclipse Palace, the Lord of the Star Prison Demon, and the Ancestral Tree Venerable, most other universe overlords are of ordinary level."
"This woman has never been known for anything, but she's like a killer. What level of secret technique is that to be so terrifying?"
In the deep night wind.
Intermittent whispers could be heard faintly, and finally there was dead silence.
…
In Chaos City, inside one of the eight-story towers.
Most of the buildings in Chaos City are exactly the same as those for cultivation, while some special buildings represent a special status.
The seventh floor of an eight-story tower.
"King Qingchen, are you saying that... the Lord of Muxing will come to Chaos City to give lectures in the near future and personally explain the evolution of the 'Mother Chaos Monument'?" The eyes of a young man in white clothes lit up. He looked extremely young, with two crystal horns on his head.
"Yes, this is the news the king told me personally." A woman in green feather clothes nodded slightly, her long black hair flowing and her face beautiful.
"Our maternal ancestor's lineage follows a complicated theory of evolution, which makes entry quite difficult. Therefore, it has always been weak among the many schools in Chaos City. It is a big surprise that the king can come in person to give a lecture." A man in light blue armor smiled, and a cold light condensed from frost shone through his body.
There were a total of twelve powerful super beings present, all of whom were the founders of the "Mother and Ancestor School" and grandmasters among the immortals. They gathered together to discuss.
"As far as I know, the ruler of Dusk Star has always been mysterious and rarely shows up. Why did he suddenly want to come to Chaos City to give a lecture this time?" the young man in white asked curiously.
Given the style of the Lord of Dusk Star, it seems that he shouldn't do such a thing.
King Qingchen smiled slightly: "Have you heard of the peerless genius who appeared in Chaos City some time ago?"
"Are you talking about Lin Yan, who just arrived in Chaos City and even passed the sixth-level Tongtian Bridge? Such talent is truly amazing!" The young man in white sighed, and then asked, "But he is from the universe lineage, what does he have to do with us?"
"It has nothing to do with us." The woman in green feathered clothes shook her head. "But if I'm not mistaken, the Lord of Dusk Star came to Chaos City this time to give lectures. His real purpose is to accept this person as his disciple."
The many super beings nearby all fixed their gazes.
The man in the light blue armor laughed out loud, "This Lin Yan was able to comprehend the essence of time and space to such an extent in just three years in the original universe. I was wondering who could be the teacher of this super genius, but I didn't expect that it would be the Lord of the Dusk Star who created the "Maternal Chaos Monument"!"
The young man in white also laughed and said, "I heard that when we broke through the sky bridge, King Tianyi praised us a lot and was very jealous."
"Ha ha."
The Universe School has the fewest people among many schools, but is also the strongest, especially King Tianyi, whose strength is probably ranked first among all the kings, and he is very majestic.
Now seeing that this super genius from the universe finally became the disciple of the Lord of Dusk Star, even though it had nothing to do with them, they couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
…
A few days later.
Lin Yan looked up at the mansion in front of him. At this moment, many practitioners had walked into the mansion.
"Today, the Lord of Dusk Star will come to Chaos City to give a lecture. I heard that the lecture will last for 21 days, covering the first to seventh pictures of the Mother Ancestor Chaos Monument."
"Although I have already comprehended the fourth picture, I can still gain something from listening to the basic explanations given by the Grandmasters. Moreover, this time the creator of the Chaos Monument is explaining it himself. I definitely cannot miss it."
"right."
"The Mother Ancestor Chaos Monument is extremely profound. The Lord of Dusk Star was able to create this great way to heaven. Even among the many Lords of the Universe, he is definitely the best."
One by one, the world masters and even the immortal practitioners entered the mansion. Lin Yan took a look and also tried to enter the mansion. The signal detection at the door of the mansion swept over Lin Yan and did not hinder him.
Normally speaking.
He is a disciple of the Universe School and is only qualified to attend the courses of the Sect Master of the Universe School. However, since there are no obstacles, he should have made some arrangements in advance.
Inside the mansion.
Thousands of practitioners have gathered in the square which is tens of kilometers long and wide.
"I'm afraid all the practitioners of our maternal ancestor's lineage have arrived." Lin Yan sat in the corner and looked around.
After all, it was the creator of the Chaos Monument who came in person to give the explanation, so it was naturally a grand event.
But what they don’t know is…
The Lord of Dusk Star came in person this time because a cosmic-level young man responded to an email expressing his wish to become his disciple, and he made a special trip to Chaos City.
Becoming a disciple is a very important thing.
Especially since Lin Yan and she had never met each other before.
If we only meet through the virtual universe, it would be too hasty, and we would need other people to witness it before this matter could be spread. If someone wants to provoke me in the future, they would also have to consider the identity of the teacher behind me.
"Young man, is this your first time attending a class?" An old man with green scales who was sitting not far from Lin Yan asked with a smile.
"Yes." Lin Yan nodded.
"It's great that you can attend the class at the cosmic level." The old man with green scales suddenly exclaimed, "Eh... but didn't the new genius competition just end not long ago?"
Only after passing the third level of the Tongtian Bridge are you qualified to attend the class.
He immediately realized something, his eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Yan and exclaimed: "You are Lin Yan?!"
The sound came out.
In an instant, all the practitioners gathered around turned their eyes over.
"He is Lin Yan? The peerless genius?"
"I heard that his speed of comprehending the laws is simply terrifying!"
"But isn't he a practitioner of the Universe School? How can he come in and attend classes?"
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel ashamed. It seemed that he had become a famous figure in Chaos City...
At this time.
An invisible pressure instantly covered the entire square, and the thousands of practitioners gathered in the square suddenly became quiet, not daring to show any disrespect.
Only seen in the distance.
A misty figure appeared out of nowhere in the main seat, dressed in purple, showing elegance and nobility, and his face seemed to be hidden behind the clouds, hazy.
Lin Yan watched with bated breath.
Is this the “Lord of the Evening Star”?
Those eyes also stared over, although it was only a short distance away, but in Lin Yan's feeling, this gaze seemed to penetrate through space, across time, and completely locked onto him.
The temperament is extraordinary, light and ethereal like smoke and clouds.
His eyes quickly looked away.
"What I'm going to explain today is the first picture of the 'Mother-Ancestor Chaos Monument'." Just like the sound of a piano, the Queen of Dusk Star flipped her hand and took out a branch. The branch was lush and green, and she casually inserted it into the ground in the square.
The branch grew rapidly, and in just a moment, it turned into a towering tree.
The big tree quickly turned from lush green at the beginning to decay, the leaves on it turned yellow and countless leaves fell off.
The withered yellow leaves floating in the air are like soldiers forming a military formation. An extremely complicated military formation, with one hundred leaves forming a complex small formation. With the addition of a green leaf, 101 leaves make the formation suddenly become more wonderful.
call!
Time seemed to have stood still.
When Lin Yan was choosing the Chaos Monument, he had viewed 52 rubbings of the corresponding Chaos Monument. However, the way the Lord of Muxing State approached it seemed to present the Chaos Monument from a more realistic perspective, revealing infinite artistic conception.
"Now, I will show you the operation of the fundamental law of the first picture."
Some complex secret patterns appeared in the air again. The complex green secret patterns flowed like mechanical gears, containing mysterious and unpredictable power of laws.
"It's amazing!" Lin Yan didn't pay much attention to it at first, but soon he was addicted to it and exclaimed in his heart.
No wonder King Tongnan said that the "Mother and Ancestor Chaos Monument" ranks in the top 20 or even higher among many chaos steles. The mystery contained in it is truly breathtaking.
Lin Yan's soul naturally entered the "divine state" and his spiritual will was completely immersed in it.
With 101 leaves, the formations can be a hundred times more varied than with 100 leaves.
It is hard to imagine what those tens of thousands of leaves will evolve into.
…
The 52 Chaos Monuments all contain extremely mysterious and profound avenues of the highest order.
In theory, each Chaos Monument can provide the means for both close combat and long-range attack.
The feelings vary depending on one's own experience.
While listening to the lectures given by the leader of the Muxing Kingdom, Lin Yan gained more than he had imagined. It was as if his horizons had been broadened, and he understood the fundamental laws of the universe from another perspective, which gave him many wonderful ideas.
Three days passed in a flash.
"Okay, that's all for today's lecture." The King of Dusk Star looked indifferent.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Thousands of practitioners bowed respectfully.
At this time——
Lin Yan walked out of the crowd and went straight to the front. Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on him. They guessed what he was thinking and their eyes were filled with surprise, envy and jealousy.
"No wonder he is here. He is here to become the disciple of the Lord of Dusk Star!"
"Teacher, the Lord of the Universe..."
"Except for a genius like Lin Yan, who else can be taken seriously by the Lord of Twilight Star?"
Muffled discussions were heard from below, but the voices were very small.
The twelve founders of the maternal ancestor's lineage all stared at Lin Yan, watching him pass their positions, then take two steps and stop.
The figure is outstanding and as bright as the stars.
"Although I don't know why the Lord of Chaos City blocked the emails from other venerables and only left me with the only option of 'Lord of Twilight Star', but as the Lord of Chaos City, he would never make a decision without a purpose. 'Lord of Twilight Star' is definitely one of the best choices."
"Now that we are here, let us make the best of it."
According to the rules of Chaos City, under the gaze of thousands of practitioners, Lin Yan knelt down respectfully and said loudly: "Teacher, I beg you to accept me as your disciple!"
Thousands of practitioners all looked at him with burning eyes.
Will the Lord of Dusk Star agree?
Can this legendary genius successfully become the disciple of the Lord of Dusk Star?
The noble being in purple stood at the very top, his ethereal figure deep and lofty.
It is so high that it reaches the sky and is unreachable.
"For billions of epochs, I have never accepted another disciple."
The Lord of Dusk Star cast his cold, moon-like gaze on Lin Yan and said softly, "Lin Yan, from today on, you are my third direct disciple."
Wow!
There was an uproar below.
The third direct disciple of the Lord of Dusk Star!
If Lin Yan was just a member of the original secret realm before, his status was already extremely high. Now with these words from the Lord of Dusk Star, his status is even more incomparable.
Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat. Although this matter had been decided long ago and there was nothing unexpected about it, he still felt a little agitated for the moment.
"Disciple greets the teacher!"
"Come with me."
The Lord of Muxing nodded slightly, said something and turned to leave. Lin Yan also stood up and followed behind him.
