Chapter 166, Connections
"There's something I need you to do." In the living room, Ye Muxuan looked at the purple-haired woman standing before him with her eyebrows lowered and spoke slowly.
"Please speak, my lord." King Longyu had perfectly assumed his identity and knew exactly what he should do.
"I have already reached the Venerable level and will be holding a banquet in my independent virtual universe dimension." Ye Muxuan looked at the purple-haired woman in blue armor and instructed, "I'll leave the matter of entertaining guests to you. I will give you a partial list and access to the dimension."
Longyu Wang suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief!
This is... a Venerable One?
Why does it feel like a dream?
……
When King Longyu placed the two invitations in front of King Zhenyan and King Tongnan, the two men felt exactly the same way as King Longyu.
No, how did he become a Venerable One so quickly? Even King Zhenyan suspected that he was still under an illusion in the Temple of Inheritance, but that didn't make sense. The Temple of Inheritance was 300,000 years ago, so he shouldn't have fallen into such a powerful illusion.
Three hundred thousand years ago, King Zhenyan decided to walk the path of the Beast God, to see if he could take that first step. Three hundred and thirty thousand years ago, with the help of his teacher and the Holy Lord of the Ape-Man Clan, he obtained a spot. He learned the secret techniques of the Divine General inheritance, and his divine body's amplification was also quite good, but unfortunately, he still hadn't found the opportunity to step into the Venerable realm. In the blink of an eye, that little fellow who had only cultivated for five hundred thousand years had already become a Venerable realm first?
It's only been 500,000 years. He doesn't even spend that much time in seclusion. His exchange with the Black Mist King about the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele" took 180,000 years.
So how exactly did he cultivate?
……
Not only did True King Yan and King Tong Nan receive this invitation, but many other kings, venerables, and others whom Ye Muxuan had met along the way also received invitations. King Longyu would personally extend the invitation to the immortal kings, while venerables and even overlords would require Ye Muxuan to personally invite them.
Many powerful individuals were stunned when they received the invitation, unlike a very small number who knew that Hanyang was his clone, renowned for his rampage on the Primordial Star. For most powerful individuals, Ye Muxuan's whereabouts were not a secret, after all, he had been lecturing in Chaos City for the past hundreds of thousands of years, and many kings had attended his lectures.
Many of the Kings in the Hong Alliance were surprised, puzzled, and even gossiping behind their backs. Other Kings and Immortals ventured into secret realms for training and fought in extraterrestrial battlefields, but Shadow Blade King, after making a fleeting appearance in the Star Tower for hundreds of years, has remained quietly in Chaos City, never going anywhere else.
Whether it's cultivation or comprehending the laws, success cannot be achieved through sheer hard work alone. The killing field in the virtual universe can solve most problems, but it's ultimately not the same as real-life killing. Subconsciously, you'll tell yourself that it's fake.
Many kings re-enter the outer battlefields and secret realms not because they enjoy killing, but because only by experiencing the great terror between life and death can they unleash their potential.
Despite their surprise, the many kings and venerables who received the invitation decided to go.
……
In Hongmeng City, the Blue Smoke King, who had only emerged from seclusion a few years prior, looked at the invitation in front of him, raised his eyes, and focused on the inner city, his expression inscrutable.
She only secluded herself for a few hundred thousand years, right? And that little guy she personally invited into the Hong Alliance has already become a Venerable? Back then, I was one step behind Venerable Jingfeng, but now I'm actually one step behind his junior brother.
Tianyu Wang from the neighboring community shook his head, somewhat surprised and full of admiration.
Sixth Senior Sister Huanli Wang Liya stared at the invitation in front of her, then shook her head and looked at the disciple beside her.
Not only in the outer city of Hongmeng, but also in a residential area within the inner city, Venerable Jingfeng looked at the invitation, frowned, and finally relaxed his brows.
Venerable Guiyi, Venerable Niuzhou, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, and even Venerable Xueyi, Venerable Leiming, the ruler of Jiuyan Kingdom, the ruler of Mingyou Kingdom, Venerable Wutang, and other Venerable overlords who had connections with Ye Muxuan all received invitations.
……
Achieving the status of a Venerable is not only a major event for the individual but also for the entire race, and naturally deserves a grand celebration. Since we are currently in the initial stage of the Primordial Star's opening, most high-ranking Venerables are currently exploring the Primordial Star in teams, making it easier for them to gather in the virtual universe.
Such news naturally cannot be kept secret; in fact, the celebration banquet itself needs to be spread, to convey fame and prestige. If few powerful figures attend a Venerable's celebration banquet, then it would truly be shabby, and within the Venerable's circle, everyone would have to keep their heads down from now on.
Since retiring from the battlefield outside the domain and returning to Chaos City, Longyu Wang has been silent for hundreds of thousands of years. Now, she is inviting many kings on behalf of Ye Muxuan. Everyone knows that she is now under Ye Muxuan's command, so no one dares to underestimate her.
Don't worry about Shadow Blade King... oh, now it's Shadow Blade Venerable. Don't worry about how well Shadow Blade Venerable is doing in the Venerable Kingdom's circle. He's not someone that these Kings can afford to offend, not to mention he has a group of senior brothers and sisters, ranging from peak King to limit King to invincible King, and even Venerable senior brothers!
Now, Longyu King is the first and only person to send out invitations to the many kings on behalf of Shadow Blade Venerable, so his status has naturally risen. Even if those kings had some ulterior motives in the past, they dare not show them now.
Three months later, in an independent dimension of the virtual universe, at the entrance of a magnificent palace, King Longyu, dressed in azure battle armor, stood waiting for the many kings who had come to attend the banquet.
As Longyu King's "family members," Zhenyan King and Tongnan King were also at the gate, while Longyu King's teacher, Mingyu King, had entered the palace early.
One after another, powerful figures who had been granted the title of King arrived. King Longyu greeted them with a smile, and naturally, the Realm Lord of the Qingyuan Clan also served as his attendants.
Ye Muxuan's fellow disciples arrived early, feeling honored. Even the Grand Elder Zhong Li, whose face was as hard as a rock, was beaming with joy.
Since moving to the Qingyuan Starfield, Zhongli has completely overcome her last bit of resentment and looks radiant.
Having reached the position of clan leader, his status and position are comparable to that of a king. Even if he were to perish one day, the clan would resurrect him, and the Qingyuan Clan would be free from worry! Not to mention that the Qingyuan Clan now has over a hundred Realm Lord-level elders, and has firmly established itself in the Mingyou Universe Kingdom.
When Venerable Fiery arrived, he saw Jade King greeting guests at the door, nodded, and handed over an invitation without the slightest arrogance.
With mixed feelings, Longyu Wang looked at Venerable Shi Huo, took the invitation, took a deep breath, and summoned a realm lord from the Qingyuan Clan to lead Venerable Shi Huo inside. Her tense body did not relax even in the virtual universe, showing that she was not as relaxed as she appeared.
Led by the Lord of the Qingyuan Clan, Venerable Fiery entered the main hall. As he looked up, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly.
Inside the main hall, several small circles were subtly formed, with many kings gathered together, accompanied by Tianyu King and Huanli King. The Venerable Ones formed another circle, accompanied by Jingfeng Venerable One, with Niuzhou Venerable One adding his own banter, ensuring the atmosphere was far from dull.
There was another circle, which surprised Venerable Fiery. There, several cosmic overlords belonging to the Virtual Universe Company, including Palace Master White Phoenix, Venerable Guiyi, and Venerable Dihai; Venerable Starry Sky and Venerable Bamboo Mist, cosmic overlords of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank; Venerable Dark Maple and Palace Master Ice Music, cosmic overlords of the Cosmic First Bank; Venerable Lanjun and Lord Wind Sea, cosmic overlords of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance; and the overlord of the Giant Axe Arena, the Undying Venerable, clad in green vine armor and exuding an eerie aura, was also among them.
The banquet hosted by the Shadow Blade Venerable was attended by all the cosmic overlords of the five major powers! This was a privilege that even the Martial Soup Venerable did not receive!
This is the Shadow Blade Master's network of connections!
