"Xi Yi."
As Xi Yi saw the majestic figure on the golden throne, a grand voice entered his ears.
"Present!"
Xi Yi suddenly remembered that he was here to meet the Universe Masters, so he quickly bowed respectfully.
"Come here."
The grand yet gentle voice came.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Xi Yi, enduring the pressure emanating from the two majestic black and white figures, flew towards the golden throne.
Soon.
He arrived near the golden throne and stood respectfully, feeling uneasy in his heart, "Greetings, Universe Master."
"I am Void River Master."
Ender's grand voice sounded, "You have completed the test I set. Are you willing to become my Personal Disciple?"
"Disciple greets Teacher!"
A look of joy appeared on Xi Yi's face, and he quickly knelt on the ground.
Ender smiled, "From today onwards, you are my third Personal Disciple."
"I finally did it!"
Hearing this, Xi Yi was immensely excited. He had finally become the Personal Disciple of the Universe Masters, and from now on, he would have an incredibly glorious future.
"Rise." Ender's voice was gentle.
"Yes."
Xi Yi stood up and bowed, his gaze involuntarily falling upon his Teacher.
On the golden throne sat a man with black hair and black vertical pupils, clad in silver armor, whose appearance was quite handsome and conformed to most Human Race aesthetics.
When he saw his Teacher, he felt a strange sensation, as if he was seeing an existence more terrifying than an ancient Ferocious beast.
"I have few Disciples. Each of your Senior Brother and Senior Sister has achieved no small feat."
Ender said softly, "Comprehending an advanced Law is very difficult, but you have hope to become a Universe Venerable, like your Senior Brother."
"Senior Brother is a Universe Venerable? What about Senior Sister?"
Xi Yi was quite shocked and couldn't help but speculate, "Could Senior Sister be a hegemonic existence among Universe Venerables, like Venerable Radiance?"
After speculating in his mind, he said excitedly and respectfully, "Yes, Disciple will do his best not to disappoint Teacher."
"As you have become my Personal Disciple, your authority has been elevated."
Ender continued, "For the next hundred thousand years, I will guide you once every 100 years, resolving all your Law confusions.
"In addition, I will grant you 20 more opportunities to comprehend the Universe Primal Chaos Tablet, for you to gain insight into the Laws."
Xi Yi listened respectfully, but felt a little lost in his heart, "Is that all?"
Ender ignored what Xi Yi was thinking and just said softly, "Alright, go."
"Yes, Disciple takes his leave."
Xi Yi bowed respectfully, took two steps back, turned, and teleported away.
...
Virtual Universe, Creation Zone of Creature Island.
After returning to his manor study, Xi Yi became even more confused. Taking advantage of his Teacher King Baiyan sending a video call, he raised his doubts.
"Teacher, why did I only receive this much treatment after becoming a Disciple of the Universe Masters?" Xi Yi asked, puzzled.
"You're thinking too much. A Universe Master is an even greater existence than a Universe Venerable, and Void River Master is even greater than an ordinary Universe Master."
King Baiyan explained, "Such a great existence has comprehended two advanced Laws. One guidance session can benefit you immensely, and being guided once every hundred years is enough to make all King-level Immortal envious."
"Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company has abundant financial resources. When you become a World Master and go out for training in the future, you will surely obtain precious treasures for self-protection. Those are definitely treasures that can make Universe Venerables envious!"
"What's more, by becoming a Disciple of the Universe Masters, your status and authority have been elevated. These two are definitely not something ordinary core Geniuses can possess."
Finally, King Baiyan sighed, "In addition, there are other benefits that you will come to know in the future."
"So that's how it is." Xi Yi nodded thoughtfully.
After King Baiyan's explanation, he finally understood the benefits of becoming a Universe Master's Disciple.
"Cultivate well and strive to pass through the three Creation Peerless Peak. This will allow you to gain a massive amount of points." King Baiyan reminded him.
Hearing this, Xi Yi used his elevated authority to inquire about the information regarding the Creation Peerless Peak.
The Universe Level 'Creation Peerless Peak' requires passing the Tongtian Bridge Twelve Layer to clear.
The Domain Master 'Creation Peerless Peak' requires roughly the capability of the Tongtian Bridge Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer to clear.
The World Master Level 'Creation Peerless Peak' requires roughly the capability of the Tongtian Bridge Twentieth Layer to clear.
And after passing the 'Creation Peerless Peak', breaking through to become a World Master can respectively earn terrifying amounts of 300 million points, 10 billion points, and 300 billion points!
"This is the authority elevation…" Xi Yi's face couldn't help but show a smile after seeing the more detailed information.
Upon seeing the astonishing rewards of the three 'Creation Peerless Peak', he developed a considerable ambition.
That was... to clear all three 'Creation Peerless Peak'!
...
Time flowed, and in a blink of an eye, several thousand years passed.
After receiving several guidance sessions from his Teacher, Xi Yi understood how precious the guidance of such a great existence like his Teacher truly was!
Whether it was confusion regarding the Law of Origin of Gold, or the two advanced Laws of Space and Time, as soon as his Teacher gave guidance, his confusion was immediately resolved.
And the efficiency of absorbing and utilizing the insights was also much higher than cultivating secret techniques or comprehending the Primal Chaos Tablet.
This allowed his Law comprehension to advance by leaps and bounds over several thousand years. He successfully passed the Tongtian Bridge Twelve Layer, and even cleared the Universe Level 'Creation Peerless Peak', making his name resound throughout the entire Human Race.
After breaking through to become a Domain Master, Xi Yi followed his Teacher King Baiyan's advice and did not choose to be assigned to his home Universe Country, but instead chose to be assigned to a newly opened high-level Universe Country.
During his assignment, he encountered multiple assassination attempts by foreign races. Fortunately, he had an ordinary Soul type Heavy Treasure bestowed by Ender for protection, and successfully resisted Soul attacks from Marquis-level Immortal.
After safely returning to the Creation Secret Realm, he cultivated in Primal Chaos City for several thousand years. After successfully clearing the Domain Master 'Creation Peerless Peak' and becoming a World Master, he was about to go out for tempering.
...
Creation Secret Realm, Emerald Feather Light Realm.
Inside the most majestic palace.
"Teacher."
As soon as Xi Yi arrived at the palace, he bowed respectfully to Ender on the throne.
"According to the regulations of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, Geniuses cultivated in the core Secret Realm all need to go out for tempering." Ender asked, "For your current tempering, are you preparing to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, or a Universe Secret Realm?"
"Disciple is preparing to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield for tempering." Xi Yi answered respectfully.
"When your Senior Brother and Senior Sister went out for tempering, I bestowed upon them a precious treasure for protection, and you are naturally no exception."
Ender nodded slightly, then took out a set of armor, "This is the protective treasure I bestow upon you, a treasure that can make many Universe Venerables go mad with envy. You will receive information after recognizing it as your own."
Xi Yi had already prepared himself mentally, but when a treasure that could drive Universe Venerables mad flew towards him, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Thank you, Teacher, for bestowing this treasure!"
Xi Yi took the armor with both hands, then imprinted his life mark with World power. Immediately, a stream of information entered his mind.
"This!"
The moment he received the information, he froze on the spot, because this protective treasure was too Heaven-Defying!
Basic: Requires 10 times the power of a Peak World Master to activate, can gain 100 times the power of a Peak World Master in enhancement, and reduces physical attacks to one percent and Soul attacks to one-tenth.
Advanced One: Requires 100 times the power of a Peak World Master to activate, can gain 1,000 times the power of a Peak World Master in enhancement...
Advanced Two: Requires 1,000 times the power of a Peak World Master to activate, can gain 10,000 times the power of a Peak World Master in enhancement...
Advanced Three: Requires 10,000 times the power of a Peak World Master to activate, can gain 100,000 times the power of a Peak World Master in enhancement, and reduces physical attacks to one-thousandth and Soul attacks to one-tenth.
Advanced Four...
Advanced Five...
Advanced Six: Requires 10 million times the power of a Peak World Master to activate, can gain 100 million times the power of a Peak World Master in enhancement, and reduces physical attacks to one ten-thousandth and Soul attacks to one-tenth.
...
Xi Yi looked at the armor emitting a faint pressure in his hand, feeling both shocked and immensely joyful.
The treasure his Teacher bestowed upon him was indeed an Arcana Treasure that could drive Universe Venerables mad!
One set of armor possessed seven forms, and each form could provide the user with a basic power enhancement, reaching up to 100 million times the power of a Peak World Master, and could also weaken physical and Soul attacks.
This was an Arcana Treasure he had never heard of!
With this precious Arcana Treasure, he was confident that he could kill a Marquis-level Immortal as a World Master, and even contend head-on with a King-level Immortal!
"This Arcana Treasure in your hand is custom-made for you. Apart from me, the creator, no one else can access its information and can only use it as an ordinary Arcana Treasure armor."
Ender said softly, "With this Arcana Treasure, you can disguise yourself as an Immortal. Unless an existence like me probes your body, it will be very difficult to discover that you are a World Master."
"Thank you, Teacher."
Xi Yi's face showed joy. Hiding his identity and disguising himself as an Immortal was a great help to him.
If a World Master were to roam the Extraterritorial Battlefield and display astonishing combat power, they would be jointly hunted down by powerhouses from the Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race factions!
Because killing a World Master Genius could earn Immortal powerhouses from the three races enormous rewards, and once the target was confirmed to be a super Genius on the assassination list, even if they jointly killed him, the reward would not be discounted much.
This caused Immortal powerhouses from the three races to swarm whenever they learned of a Human Race World Master Genius appearing, intending to obtain huge rewards.
"The Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race do not lack intelligent individuals. Even if you disguise yourself as an Immortal, there is still a risk of your identity being exposed."
Ender reminded him, "So, when you are tempering yourself in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, you must be careful and cautious.
"The path of a powerhouse is quite arduous. Countless Geniuses in the Universe perish on this path. I hope you can become a Universe Venerable like your Senior Brother, rather than falling midway."
"Yes, Disciple will bear Teacher's teachings in mind." Xi Yi still held the armor in his hands, answering respectfully.
"Alright, go prepare." Ender waved his hand gently.
"Disciple takes his leave." Xi Yi bowed respectfully, then flew out of the palace.
...
After leaving Emerald Feather Light Realm, Xi Yi returned to the Azure Jade Secret Realm where the Geniuses of the Creation Secret Realm resided, and began a massive shopping spree.
Having successively cleared the Universe Level and Domain Master 'Creation Peerless Peak', Xi Yi received an astonishing reward of 10.3 billion points. Coupled with the basic points awarded after becoming a World Master, his total points exceeded 11 billion.
With such an astonishing amount of points, whether he was cultivating plant life or purchasing spaceships and detectors, he chose only the highest quality.
After preparing everything, Xi Yi confidently set off for the Extraterritorial Battlefield to temper himself...
...
Several thousand years later.
Extraterritorial Battlefield, Fourteenth Battlefield.
In the Secret Realm Void, tens of billions of kilometers away from a certain planet.
Without any warning, Ender suddenly appeared in the Void. Immediately, time began to flow backward in the tens of thousands of kilometers around him.
Soon, the scene of Xi Yi losing contact appeared.
A Demon race King Immortal, at the great cost of shattering a peculiar treasure, caused Xi Yi, who was protected by a Soul type Heavy Treasure and a special armor Arcana Treasure, to fall into oblivion...
Ender quietly watched his Disciple perish, then continued to let time flow backward.
Then, he stopped time at the moment the King Immortal took out the peculiar treasure, and attempted to reverse time and space to bring that peculiar treasure back to normal time and space.
But as soon as he locked onto it, he felt that if he were to bring that treasure back to normal time and space, he would lose dozens of times more Divine Power than it took to revive Elder Mu Yi of the Sora Race.
"A one-time Soul attack Arcana Treasure, huh…" Ender immediately understood.
Generally speaking, defensive Soul type supreme treasures that guard the Soul often can unleash most of their power without needing to be activated.
Offensive Soul type supreme treasures are different. They require a very high level of attainment in Soul will and Soul illusions, which is simply not something a King Immortal can activate.
One-time Soul attack supreme treasures are a special type of Arcana Treasure developed by Craftsman God Star. They are a simplified Soul attack Arcana Treasure with greatly reduced usage requirements.
Because the usage requirements are lowered, even when activated by a King Immortal, they can barely threaten a Universe Venerable.
This special Arcana Treasure shatters after one use, and the Materials required for its refinement are not cheap, costing no less than 10 Arcana Treasure points!
If the refining cost of Craftsman God Star is included, the Materials spent on refining a one-time Soul attack Arcana Treasure would definitely exceed 30 Arcana Treasure points.
If Ender wanted to bring this treasure back to normal time and space, the price he would have to pay would be ten times that of the Arcana Treasure, meaning he would need to consume at least 100 Arcana Treasure points worth of Divine Power!
"The path of a powerhouse is very arduous. Even a slight carelessness can lead to the risk of falling."
Ender understood the reason for his Disciple's demise, let time return to normal, and sighed, "I warned him that even with the armor I bestowed to hide his identity, there was still a possibility of being exposed…"
Knowing that Xi Yi's Soul had fallen into oblivion, Ender felt there was no longer any need to reverse time and space.
Even if that Demon race King Immortal couldn't Soul enslaved Xi Yi, he could still bring him back to the Demon race and have a Universe Venerable perform Soul enslaved.
Or even without enslavement, just let Xi Yi remain in oblivion...
Until his lifespan ran out, Xi Yi would naturally perish!
"The path of life's growth is winding. Perhaps one cannot reach the end of their lifespan, nor necessarily grow to their life's limit…"
Ender seemed to sense something. A wisp of Divine Power separated from his finger, spiraled in the Void, then rapidly reorganized and transformed.
That wisp of Divine Power was initially powerful in aura, then became extremely weak.
Immediately after, its aura climbed at a visible speed, until it reached its initial strength...
Boom!
Accompanied by the Divine Power fluctuation, that wisp of Divine Power broke through its limit and reached a higher level!
