Chapter 570 The Surprise at the Sect Meeting
It was supposed to be a gathering of disciples, but Hong and Lei Shen, who had never formally become disciples, would also attend, and Zhou Ze was already used to their presence.
Although they may not have the formal title of master and disciple, their relationship is already that of master and disciple. If one had to compare them, it would be like the relationship between the Primal Ancestor and the Giant Axe, or even closer.
Thor had made several attempts to become Zhou Ze's apprentice, but Zhou Ze refused each time. Even Hong had once expressed his desire to become Zhou Ze's apprentice, but Zhou Ze politely declined each time.
In his view, there was no need to make things so awkward; the relationship was too close, and he "couldn't bring himself to do it," much like how a childhood sweetheart can't compete with a new love interest...
Clark echoed, "That's right! You possessed the Golden Horned Beast when you were only a planetary-level being. How could we compare to you?"
"I was lucky! Otherwise, I would have died at the hands of the Golden Horned Beast long ago!" Luo Feng sighed. "Risk and opportunity go hand in hand."
Looking back on his past, Luo Feng realized that it truly was a case of "great terror and great opportunity between life and death."
Zhou Ze smiled slightly as he looked at his disciples: "Besides congratulating Luo Feng on assuming the chairmanship of the race's universe, there's something else I've gathered here for you all today that you probably haven't considered!"
"Let's guess, see if we can figure it out?"
This statement piqued the interest of many, especially Thor, Clark, and Crew.
As a newcomer, Kru's personality is similar to Thor and Clark; they are all lively and lovable characters. After becoming Zhou Ze's disciple, he quickly became acquainted with Clark and Thor.
"Teacher, have you become the strongest being in the universe?"
"Teacher, have you obtained some treasure again?"
"I can't guess! I have absolutely no idea! Teacher Zhou, stop keeping me in suspense!"
"They really have no patience," Zhou Ze muttered, then said directly, "Luo Feng, you talk to them..."
Luo Feng smiled slightly; "Of course you wouldn't guess, because no one could have imagined that Junior Brother Luo, who has always been low-key, would break through to the Universe Lord realm so quietly!"
"Speaking of which, I'm not even a true master of the universe yet, while Junior Brother Luo is now a legitimate master of the universe!"
Luo Feng's words immediately shocked most of the people present. Compared to others, Luo was extremely low-key and rarely asked questions in class, making him very low-profile.
Unexpectedly, he broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe without anyone noticing. This was something they never expected. What kind of existence is the Lord of the Universe? Even their human race, as the pinnacle race, only has about ten of them.
These dozen or so universe lords are the true rulers and decision-makers of their respective races. Even the universe venerables don't really have much say.
They're called high-level, but they're really just so-so. Of course, compared to those immortals and below, they're already super beings who are far beyond our reach!
The six newly recruited disciples of Zhou Ze sat in the corner like little quails, looking at each other in bewilderment. Among them, the strongest was only Modi, who had barely been granted the title of King. He was not qualified to know anything about the level of the Universe Venerable, let alone the Lord of the Universe.
But judging from the surprise and shock of the senior brothers around him, it was clear that Senior Brother Luo's breakthrough to the level of the Lord of the Universe was an extraordinary event.
"The teacher has actually broken through to the level of Universe Lord?"
Hong was somewhat bewildered. What the hell was this? This was truly beyond his expectations.
After all, anyone with eyes can see that Luo Feng is the most likely to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, while the others are still a bit short of it.
But Luo Feng, who was most likely to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, has not yet broken through, while Luo, who has always been inconspicuous, has broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe first!
This was truly unexpected by everyone. Even Zhou Ze himself was somewhat bewildered when he received Luo's email, let alone the others.
After a moment of deathly silence, a clamor erupted:
"Wow! I've fallen in love with reading, starting with Coca-Cola novels..."
"Holy crap! Luo actually broke through to the Universe Master level!"
"This is unbelievable! Luo has actually become the Lord of the Universe! This is the Lord of the Universe! He's a true pinnacle existence even in the entire primordial universe!"
"Congratulations! Our sect has produced its second Universe Master!"
The news of Luo's breakthrough to the level of the Lord of the Universe immediately excited most of the people present. Even the six newly arrived disciples were infected and couldn't help but feel excited.
After a while, the crowd calmed down a bit, especially Tu Man and the others who were already Venerables. They couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and decided to work harder in the future to strive to become the Lord of the Universe as soon as possible!
"Alright, it's just breaking through to become a Universe Master, what's there to get excited about..." Zhou Ze said calmly, "I've said it before, my requirement for you is that you all break through to become the strongest in the universe, and even if you become the strongest in the universe, that's just the beginning."
"To be fair, even I didn't expect Luo to break through to the Universe Lord level. But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. In terms of laws and secret techniques, apart from the six of you who have just entered the field, everyone else already has the conditions to break through to the Universe Lord level."
"Just go about your business as usual. Don't keep an eye on the Lord of the Universe. The more you do that, the harder it will be for you to break through."
"Okay, teacher..."
All the disciples responded in unison.
Zhou Ze paused, then looked at the newly initiated disciple Lin Chen and asked, "Lin Chen, how are you doing now?"
"Thank you for your concern, teacher. I have resolved my inner conflict," Lin Chen said gratefully to Zhou Ze.
Lin Chen was the most tragic of Zhou Ze's disciples. In order to be with his family, he was imprisoned in a space and tortured by the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Flame for ten thousand years.
Even the kindest person can harbor resentment.
"Yes, that's good. Actually, I didn't mean for you to let go of the resentment in your heart, but rather that that resentment was affecting your heart and hindering your self-improvement!"
Zhou Ze calmly said, "To put it bluntly, in the primordial universe, strength is paramount. It's foolish to let go of those inner barriers and hinder your own strength improvement..."
Lin Chen sighed, "Actually, there's nothing to resent. It was my own choice..."
"The torture was indeed quite unbearable. Although I don't resent them, I don't want to deal with them either..."
"Well, just don't let it affect your own strength improvement. Everything else is secondary; it's your choice..." Zhou Ze said calmly, then looked at Moody and Alexander:
"You two are the same. Although I'm entrusting the matter of abolishing slavery to you two, you must distinguish between what's important and what's not."
"You need to know what's important and what's secondary!"
"Just like the reason I was able to abolish the deeply entrenched system of slavery, it's because I was powerful enough! And because I had a significant enough influence over the community!"
"Otherwise, why would none of the other universe lords object when I bring it up!"
Moody and Alexander nodded repeatedly, like chickens pecking at rice.
"Teacher, I will always remember this!"
"Don't worry, teacher, I always know how to prioritize!"
Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Teacher is right. In the primordial universe, strength reigns supreme. Whatever you want, or whatever you want to do, first you must be strong and influential!"
If it weren't for the teacher's protection, the clan would never have tolerated this supreme treasure being in his hands if the Star Tower were exposed.
Of course... if the teacher doesn't reveal it, no one else will know that he took the Star Tower...
