Chapter 256, Meng Lan
In the solar system, on a planet teeming with life, Mingyu, dressed in coarse linen clothes, drifted downstream, going wherever the current took him, until he reached the estuary and entered the ocean.
Even without wind, waves can be three feet high; the ocean can occasionally churn with waves tens or even hundreds of meters high. But for a top-tier cosmic overlord...
It means a gentle breeze on your face.
He traveled along the way, stopping frequently, drifting with the waves wherever they took him. Just like his previous seclusion for 200,000 epochs, Mingyu rarely contacted others. Only Ye Muxuan and the Crimson Lotus King—now known as the Crimson Lotus Venerable Hongyan—were able to contact him.
Among the five newly emerging top cosmic overlords of humanity, the Lord of Qingyuan Kingdom has been silent for over two hundred thousand epochs, with very little information circulating about him, gradually fading from the knowledge of the new generation. Meanwhile, the Venerable of Eclipse Fire, also one of the five top cosmic overlords, is flamboyant and powerful, arguably the strongest overlord below the Lord of the Giant Axe Arena Universe. Several epochs ago, he accepted a mission from his race to replace the Star Prison Demon Lord and guard the eighteen layers of the Star Prison.
The White Phoenix Palace Master replaced the Nether Demon Venerable to oversee the outer battlefield, while the Azure Charm Venerable accepted the clan's mission to suppress the Purgatory Abyss, and the Nether Demon Venerable replaced the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master to oversee the Blood Luo Continent.
Of the five top cosmic overlords of the human race, only the ruler of Qingyuan Kingdom remains detached from worldly affairs, now wandering aimlessly on an ordinary and weak planet with few inhabitants.
Meng Lan possesses exceptional talent, not only receiving dedicated guidance from the Queen of Lan Jing Kingdom, but also occasionally receiving instruction from Venerable Ming Luo. Ye Muxuan's several direct disciples have a close relationship, having also received guidance from their senior sister, Venerable Qing Mei.
Most importantly, they also understood that their teacher didn't want to see their fellow students engaging in backstabbing and infighting.
The news that the Shadow Blade Master, humanity's strongest cosmic ruler, had taken on a new personal disciple spread among the various races of the universe. After all, to become the disciple of a cosmic ruler, one must naturally endure harsh scrutiny from all sides, and also face the possibility of assassination attempts by powerful figures from other races.
Five hundred years later, Meng Lan broke through to the Domain Lord level as a member of the Primal Secret Realm and was dispatched to the Lan Jing Universe Kingdom as a special envoy for supervision, becoming the fourth giant.
Born into royalty, he was the most outstanding genius of the Blue Crystal Clan in this generation. Naturally, no powerful nobles or other powerful figures in the Blue Crystal Universe Kingdom dared to make things difficult for him. He occasionally accepted some point-based missions, but spent most of his time diligently cultivating.
Because four of his five senior brothers and sisters had already conquered the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Domain Lord level, with his eldest sister even conquering the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the World Lord level, this placed immense pressure on him.
Despite taking numerous precautions, Meng Lan was still assassinated. An Immortal Zerg Queen assassinated Meng Lan, who was carrying out a high-scoring mission, in the heart of the Lan Jing Universe Kingdom.
And that was it; he was instantly killed by Venerable Mingluo from the World Ring.
These are minor matters. As Meng Lan grows stronger, she will eventually come into contact with those top experts.
After serving as a special envoy for over five thousand years, Meng Lan resigned and returned to Chaos City to cultivate diligently. Over eight hundred years later, she passed the sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven and achieved the advanced level of Marquis. After several attempts, she finally passed the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, which was at the Domain Lord level.
In the same year, he entered the realm of world lords, and three thousand years later he reached the peak of the realm of world lords, crossed the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, and then went to the secret realm of the universe for training.
Since the Realm Lord was away on a training expedition, Venerable Mingluo couldn't go with him. Ye Muxuan bestowed upon him a top-tier soul treasure to protect his soul.
Occasionally, a sliver of consciousness will remain to keep an eye on it.
More than 500,000 epochs have passed since Ye Muxuan received the sect's inheritance. He is stuck at 29999 times in the analysis of life genes, while the research of the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau is also stuck at 4998.
Among humans, the one who has solved the most puzzles is the Chaos True God, after all, the strongest being's foundation and will are higher than Ye Muxuan's, but he is still stuck at the 5000th puzzle. And the strongest beings in the universe, such as the Giant Axe Founder, the Dark Demon God, and the True God Peng Gong, are not as good as Ye Muxuan.
Even so, they all have the hope and confidence to break through the cycle of reincarnation, and they are all working hard to study the sect's inheritance. When they have insights, they will fight with many universe lords in the universe sea to hone themselves.
After undergoing rigorous training, each newly appointed universe master carefully selected the primordial embryo that best suited them as their natal array plate, and then inscribed array patterns upon it.
However, this batch of later universally ascended cosmic masters were different from the previous dozen or so. Not all of them chose palace-type primordial embryos; some chose other types.
The higher the level of array patterns that the human universe masters comprehend, the stronger they become, and the greater their chances of succeeding when participating in treasure hunts.
In the current race, ordinary peak treasures are no longer rare. Only those that are second only to the strongest treasures, such as the Star Flame Palace and the Extreme Xin Domain, are what many universe lords pursue.
Of course, it would be even better if there were supreme treasures available.
Unfortunately, the clan's most powerful treasures are currently held by the four strongest individuals and the Shadow Blade Master. Other universe lords are not qualified to obtain them. Qing Yuzhu's avatar obtained a soul-type supreme treasure deep within the inner domain of the cosmic vessel, but no one knows about it yet.
Moreover, while a supreme treasure is important to Ye Muxuan, it is not enough to cause him to lose his composure.
In fact, over the years, his clones had sensed several supreme treasures deep within the three forbidden zones, but they were too dangerous. Even the strongest among them would die if they went in, so they ignored them.
As for the Locust Rock Ancestral God and Zhenjia King, who have been silently watching over the years, they have disappeared without a trace, and it is unknown whether they have been in the Ten Thousand Waves Water Area of the Peak Realm all along.
However, Ye Muxuan did not utilize the intelligence resources of the Hong Alliance, so he did not know their exact location. Occasionally, he would visit the Yuan'ao Secret Realm and find that the Lord of Yuan'ao was still asleep, presumably having lost a large portion of his divine body during his enslavement and was now recovering.
For a cosmic ruler, losing a large number of divine bodies would be a huge loss, and it would be normal for the recovery process to consume hundreds of thousands of epochs.
There's no rush. After all, life has already appeared on Earth in our solar system, so the emergence of humans is probably not far off. We'll see who appears then, and whether the Lord of the Caverns will still be jumping up and down.
Speaking of slumber, the Mountain Giant Star Lord has been slumbering deep within a continent of the Primal Secret Realm for hundreds of thousands of epochs. It is unknown whether he will become the Lord of the Universe when he awakens next time.
More than 50,000 years later, Meng Lan left the cosmic secret realm with a great harvest. If its value were calculated, it would be estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of Chaos Units, which is comparable to the wealth of a high-level King. She then entered the extraterrestrial battlefield to fight.
Currently, the one overseeing the extraterritorial battlefield is his grandmaster, Palace Master Bai Feng, Ye Muxuan's teacher. There's no need to worry about the other side sending a Venerable to the extraterritorial battlefield; that's a rule jointly established by the four races. However, Meng Lan will have to withstand any assassination attempts at the King level herself.
After living in anonymity for tens of thousands of years, Meng Lan finally broke through the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven, becoming the strongest among the younger generation and thus ascending to the top of the alien assassination list.
It is said that Ye Muxuan and his disciples have all reached this number one position.
