Primal Secret Realm, Wu Chen Continent.
On the vast grassland in front of the manor, White-maned werewolf Mullie, the leader of the guard army, was respectfully waiting with his guard army soldiers and manor servants.
Whoosh!
A dark red stream of light flew from outside the Wu Chen Continent, transforming into a prismatic Universe spaceship that stopped above Mullie and the others.
Chirp!
The spaceship's hatch opened, and Ender, who had already put away his Frost Armor and revealed no pressure, slowly flew out of the hatch.
Seeing Ender appear, Mullie respectfully bowed and said, "Welcome back, Your Highness, after completing your trial!"
"Welcome, Your Highness!" The guard army soldiers respectfully saluted.
"Welcome, Your Highness!" Tens of thousands of manor servants respectfully prostrated themselves.
Looking down at the respectfully saluting crowd below, Ender nodded slightly, "Hmm, you may all disperse."
He looked at the White-maned werewolf, whom he hadn't seen in thousands of years in reality, and said, "Mullie, come with me."
"Yes, Your Highness." Mullie nodded respectfully.
Ender flew towards the manor he hadn't returned to for thousands of years; although he had returned to the Primal Secret Realm a few times in the past thousands of years, he had never truly returned to this manor in Wu Chen Continent.
After the two left, the guard army soldiers and manor servants dispersed.
"Mullie, thank you for supporting my Family with those clansmen over the past few millennia."
Ender transmitted, "Now, my Family has gotten on the right track, so you don't need to arrange for any more clansmen to go and support them."
Since Mullie became his subordinate, he had sent many of his clansmen to be stationed in the Royce Family. It could be said that during the Early Stage of the Royce Family's growth, the Domain Master and World Master Level combat power relied entirely on Mullie's clansmen.
However, after thousands of years of development, the current Royce Family has cultivated a considerable number of Domain Master and World Master Level individuals. Coupled with Mullie's clansmen who originally provided support and were stationed there, the Royce Family is not lacking in Domain Master and World Master Level combat power. What they truly lack is Immortal-level combat power.
"It is my honor to serve Your Highness." Mullie flew behind him, respectfully saying, "I will immediately have my clansmen stop going to the Royce Family."
"Hmm." Ender nodded slightly, then threw a world ring to Mullie, "Catch."
Mullie subconsciously caught the world ring and asked blankly, "Your Highness, this is..."
"This is your reward." Ender replied with a smile, "There are many good things inside."
"Your Highness, there's no need for this, serving you..." Mullie wanted to refuse.
"No matter what, you are my first Immortal subordinate. You have followed me since I entered the Primal Secret Realm, so you have both merit and hard work."
Ender stopped above the manor's study, saying in an unrefusable tone, "These rewards are what you deserve."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Mullie heard this and respectfully saluted in mid-air.
"Go back and take a good look. If there's anything you don't understand, you can search the Virtual Universe treasure trove, or if that doesn't work, you can send me an email, and my intelligent assistant will answer you."
After Ender finished speaking, he landed on the balcony below and stepped into the study.
"Your Highness..."
Mullie merely glanced roughly at the world ring and immediately revealed a look of astonishment. Looking at Ender's figure disappearing into the balcony, his heart was filled with immense gratitude.
This was because inside the world ring, there was a pair of claw-type weapons, a battle armor, a Cloud Vine seedling, and numerous Cultivation resources.
In addition, there was also a note in the world ring with a list of the treasures and resources inside—a seventh-tier top-grade claw-type weapon, a seventh-tier top-grade battle armor, and Cultivation resources for a 108 main vine Immortal Cloud Vine!
Although Mullie's status in the Virtual Universe Company was not high, he knew that the treasures and resources in the world ring he held were worth tens of millions of Mixed units.
"The reward His Highness gave me is worth tens of millions of Mixed units, which is already equivalent to the wealth of a Marquis-level Immortal. His Highness treats me very well!"
Mullie's heart was shaken. "To bestow me with tens of millions of mixed units worth of treasures at once, His Highness's wealth is probably not less than that of a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal now!"
"With these treasures and resources, my strength can reach that of a barely Marquis-level Immortal, and I can even Cultivate an Immortal Cloud Vine with 108 main vines, equivalent to a Low stage Marquis-level Immortal."
After the shock, his heart was filled with joy. "With the assistance of the Immortal Cloud Vine, a general Low stage Marquis-level Immortal may not be my match."
Mullie flew towards his residence in surprise, preparing to go back and Cultivate the Cloud Vine and bind the weapons and battle armor.
...
Ender stepped into the study, whose layout had not changed for a thousand years.
Taking out a world ring from the desk drawer, his consciousness entered it, and he saw three towering ancient trees inside the world ring.
Gu Yu Ancient Tree main tree, 160,000 kilometers in height.
Branch Tree One and Branch Tree Two, 1,600 kilometers in height.
"The Gu Yu Ancient Tree re-nurtured the second branch tree, consuming one-tenth of its World Energy."
Transplanting the second branch tree into his personal world ring, Ender murmured, "When I become an Immortal in the future, the Gu Yu Ancient Tree's consumption for nurturing branch trees should decrease."
The main tree consumes one-tenth of its World Energy to nurture a branch tree that is only one percent the height of the main tree. No matter how you look at it, it's a losing deal.
Especially after becoming an Immortal in the future, the Immortal Energy of the main tree's Divine Body will be thousands or tens of thousands of times that of the branch tree. If it still consumes one-tenth of its Immortal Energy to nurture a branch tree, that would be a huge loss!
However, Immortal Energy is different from World Energy. The former is energy that integrates Soul life imprints. Immortals have already transformed into Divine Body life, so whether it's nurturing or consumption, it's all Immortal Energy.
In the original work, Luo Feng re-nurtured his Clone, also consuming an equivalent amount of Immortal Energy as the Clone's Divine Body, not ten times.
"After thousands of years of fighting and Cultivating on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, my will has improved to a certain extent, and I can continue to Cultivate 'Eye of Distortion' to enhance my Soul defense."
Ender sat on the chair, his consciousness sinking into the core of his Soul, where he saw the Eye of Distortion composed of countless black lines.
"Once my Soul defense is enhanced, I will go challenge the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain. With my body amplification and secret technique level, it won't be difficult to pass."
To pass the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain, the prerequisite is that one's Law comprehension must reach the Tongtian Bridge Twentieth Layer, and one must also have the combat power to face the combined efforts of three guardians.
In terms of Law comprehension, Ender had already comprehended the Space Teleportation profoundness, and his Law comprehension level was at the standard Tongtian Bridge Twentieth Layer.
As for combat power, his body amplification was 32 times, his combat secret technique was at the Pinnacle level, and his strongest move could defeat 1,500 opponents. It was not difficult to pass the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain.
As for the Tongtian Bridge, he had no plans to challenge it yet, because Universe Venerable and Immortal could watch and view recordings of the Tongtian Bridge.
And his strongest secret technique was the spear technique 'Eternal Sky'. If he used a spear to challenge the Tongtian Bridge, it might expose his identity as King Verdant End, which would be more trouble than it was worth.
Challenging the World Master Level Sky Mountain didn't have such concerns. Even a Universe Venerable couldn't watch the combat videos of Sky Mountain without permission, which helped him hide his identity.
...
Time flew by, and several years had passed.
During these past few years, Ender had been Cultivating the Soul secret technique 'Eye of Distortion', and its last layer had been Cultivated to Minor Achievement.
"Now my Soul will is no weaker than a Marquis-level Immortal. It's time to challenge the World Master Level Sky Mountain, but before that, I'll go see my teacher first."
With this thought, his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe and applied to enter his teacher's exclusive space.
...
Eternal Ice and Snow World.
Still on the highest Pinnacle amidst the endless snowflakes.
"Teacher." Ender respectfully saluted the Ice Summit Master at the Pinnacle of the mountain.
"Are you preparing to challenge the Primal Sky Mountain?"
The Ice Summit Master stood at the Pinnacle of the mountain, his silver hair, streaked with white at the temples, fluttering in the cold wind.
"Yes." Ender nodded.
"It's time to challenge Primal Sky Mountain."
The Ice Summit Master nodded slightly, "Kedi has already passed the Tongtian Bridge Eighteenth Layer, and you haven't challenged the Tongtian Bridge for thousands of years, which has caused many people to question you."
"This Disciple is currently not suitable to challenge the Tongtian Bridge, as that might expose the identity of King Verdant End."
Ender replied, "Therefore, this Disciple plans to directly challenge the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain to counter those doubts."
"Passing the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain is indeed a very good response."
The Ice Summit Master said, "However, your identity as King Verdant End will prevent you from moving freely in the outside world in the future."
Ender was momentarily at a loss, "Then this Disciple..."
The Ice Summit Master said, "No need to worry, I have prepared new treasures for you to hide your identity."
Ender immediately relaxed a lot and respectfully said, "This Disciple thanks Teacher."
"This is your reward for passing the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain, but this reward is not without a price."
The Ice Summit Master said indifferently, "Go, come back after you have passed the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain."
"Price?"
Ender was puzzled, but he still obeyed his teacher's instructions, "This Disciple takes his leave."
With that, he took two steps back and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing.
...
Sky Mountain Plane.
The three towering Sky Mountain were successively taller. When Ender appeared out of thin air, he transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the most magnificent Primal Sky Mountain among them.
As a member of the Primal Secret Realm, he naturally could directly challenge the Primal Sky Mountain.
Sky Mountain, at the foot of the mountain.
The Bull-headed Man was leaning against a giant rock, sound asleep, the blade of his gigantic battle axe embedded in the earth, the axe handle pointing diagonally towards the sky.
On the other side, the Ape-man and the Snake Woman were playing some kind of chess game, with pieces moving rapidly.
When Ender transformed into a stream of light and flew over, the sleeping Bull-headed Man instantly opened his eyes, then stood up, grabbed his gigantic battle axe, and rested it on his shoulder.
The Bull-headed Man laughed loudly, "Haha, someone's here!"
"Oh, finally someone's here." The Snake Woman seemed to stand up awkwardly.
"The one who came is actually His Highness Ender." The Ape-man also slowly stood up, "Your Highness Ender, although you have passed the Universe Level and Domain Master Primal Sky Mountain, with your Law comprehension, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain."
The Bull-headed Man grinned, "I have to say, Your Highness Ender, you are truly confident. You dare to challenge the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain with only the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer."
"Whether it was the Universe Level Sky Mountain or the Domain Master Sky Mountain, His Highness Ender passed them all in one go."
The Ape-man's expression was solemn. "His Highness Ender dares to challenge this World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain, so he must be confident in passing it."
"Your Highness Ender, shall we begin the challenge?" The Snake Woman's eyes were still as tender as water.
Ender, clad in dark green battle armor, his feet on a flying Spirit Weapon, held a silver spear in one hand, looking down at the three Tongtian Bridge guardians below.
"Hmm, let's begin." He nodded slightly.
Whoosh!
As soon as his voice fell, he instantly transformed into a stream of light and charged towards the Bull-headed Man who was carrying a gigantic battle axe on his shoulder.
"Haha, come on!" The Bull-headed Man brandished his Huge Axe, roaring loudly, "Let me see your strength!"
"Kill!" The Ape-man's eyes blazed with light, and his Spirit Weapon instantly transformed into a stream of light and flew out.
"Your Highness Ender, you must be careful." The Snake Woman's eyes were still like water, but there was a mysterious light within them, and an invisible Soul attack had already launched.
Although it was a battle in the Virtual Universe, Ender did not have the Legacy treasure 'Molten Crystal' to guard his Soul. However, his Soul will was already strong, and he had Cultivated 'Eye of Distortion' to Minor Achievement, so the Snake Woman's Soul attack had no effect on him.
Whoosh!
Ender swung the spear in his hand, and the Pinnacle Immortal secret technique attack he unleashed killed the Bull-headed Man. Then, with a stab and a sweep, he easily killed the Ape-man and the Snake Woman.
In just an instant, the battle ended, and this stage at the foot of the mountain was passed.
After glancing at the three guardians who had revived, Ender stepped on his Spirit Weapon and flew towards the mountainside.
After only a brief stop at the mountainside, he continued to fly towards the mountaintop.
Compared to the mountainside, the difficulty of challenging the mountaintop was much higher, forcing Ender to go all out and use Space Teleportation to successfully pass.
"Congratulations, Your Highness Ender, for passing the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain."
"Among our Human Race, everyone who can pass the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain is an peerless Genius who appears only once in tens of millions of eras."
"Only by passing the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain can one be considered among the Pinnacle Geniuses in Human Race history."
The three guardians at the mountaintop revived, all expressing immense joy and respectfully congratulating Ender, celebrating this new peerless Genius of the Human Race.
"Under normal circumstances, only by passing the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain can one be hailed as a peerless Genius appearing once every tens of millions of eras, but I, Kedi, and Jiu Mengluo, who is titled King Fire Erosion, have long been hailed as appearing once every tens of millions of eras."
Ender stood at the Pinnacle of the Primal Sky Mountain, looking down at the endless vast land. "Facts have proven that we are indeed all peerless Geniuses who appear once every tens of millions of eras. Now, only Kedi has not passed the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain."
"And he has already proven in the original work that he can pass."
Seeing the two slightly shorter Sky Mountain in the distance, Ender silently said, "As Geniuses who appear once every tens of millions of eras, I will be stronger than them, and I will stand even higher than them!"
...
When Ender stood at the Pinnacle of the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain, the high-ranking members of the Human Race all received an email, learning the news that Ender had passed the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain.
And this news spread rapidly like a hurricane, causing a huge sensation throughout the entire Human Race!
"Ender passed the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain, it's truly unbelievable!"
"He hasn't challenged the Tongtian Bridge for thousands of years, yet he directly passed the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain. Doesn't this mean that his Law comprehension has already reached the Tongtian Bridge Twentieth Layer?"
"Not long ago, I was still questioning him, but I didn't expect him to remain silent for thousands of years, and then suddenly amaze everyone by passing the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain."
