Chapter 241 Entering the Initial Universe
At the same time, Xu Qing's virtual universe terminal suddenly started ringing incessantly. Messages from the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler bombarded him like a barrage of cannon fire, each word revealing his concern:
"Although the company is a partnership between us, you're still too inexperienced. You'd better be discreet when you go out. If all else fails, I'll hire a few Immortals as bodyguards for you!"
"Take my advice, don't flaunt your wealth. The amount of cash you have is enough to make many powerful experts at the peak of the King level envious."
"Don't think you're safe just because you're a core member of the Primal Secret Realm. No matter how much influence I have, I can't stop some blind fools from taking risks. There are quite a few lone immortals like your teacher in this universe."
Xu Qing's lips twitched as he scanned the information.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sent this message naturally because he was afraid that his treasure trove might suddenly have a moment of madness and go out, only to be accidentally killed.
But it's pointless. It's not that he doesn't appreciate it, but the key is that Xu Qing is only using a clone right now, and doesn't even need to go out. This worry is like worrying about nothing.
However, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom did not understand what Xu Qing was thinking.
He then sent another message, this time with more than a dozen account details attached.
When Xu Qing clicked on it, he found that the account information was actually the contact information of the immortal gods.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom: "These are my most capable subordinates, my eighteen divine generals. You can choose any one of them; they are all at the peak of the Marquis level among immortal gods."
What is the most capable subordinate?
Xu Qing felt a wave of exasperation wash over him, and his assessment of the Qianwu Kingdom's wealth instantly dropped three levels.
"Is your most capable subordinate a marquis? That certainly shows the demeanor of a powerful figure."
Damn, bro, you're one of the oldest cosmic venerables, how come you can't even produce a title of Immortal King?
Even a random disciple of the True King is a Marquis-level or even a King-level disciple. How can your so-called capable general, who is known as a divine general, be stuck at the Marquis-level Immortal level?
"Damn it, Qianwu, you've really disgraced the Venerable One of the Universe—" Xu Qing sighed inwardly.
Other cosmic venerables have at least several or even dozens of kings under their command.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, as the oldest cosmic venerable one, uses the title of Marquis and Immortality as his trump card.
Xu Qing thought about it and agreed. The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom only had three hundred kings and marquises under his command, and they were only kings and marquises in name only, not in terms of actual strength.
But this comparison makes it all the more humorous.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom has lived for at least four trillion epochs, while the Nine Swords Venerable, who has only cultivated for hundreds of thousands of epochs, has thousands of marquises under his command, each of whom is much stronger than Huyan Bo, and there are also nearly thirty kings among them.
In comparison, the forces under the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler are truly inadequate.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. What if all the King-level Immortals under Qianwu's command died, but their level in life wasn't at the peak of the King-level, so they couldn't meet the resurrection threshold?"
"Plus, Qianwu is a penniless wretch. He can't afford the money for resurrection, and he can't afford to hire the Lord of the Universe. Who knows?" Xu Qing thought to himself.
He then refused the offer from the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.
Xu Qing: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, I haven't come up with any ideas about the Primal Secret Realm yet. Let's talk about it when the time comes."
King of Qianwu Kingdom: "Alright."
The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said, "By the way, you've become a core member but haven't been to Chaos City yet. I'll take you there after my gathering with the Venerables."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xu Qing replied.
A few days later, the Venerable Ones returned home having drunk their fill. The King of Qianwu Kingdom saw them off one by one, and then took out his spaceship again, taking Xu Qing to fly towards the cosmic passage leading to the Primordial Secret Realm.
In the floating living room of the spaceship, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom leaned back in his chair, casually handing Xu Qing a glass of starlight-shimmering drink, and began to explain: "The spots in the Initial Universe are not easy to obtain. You either have to wait for the auction of the outflowing spots, or you have to become a core member through the Genius Battle. However, for you, the Genius Battle should be a piece of cake."
He paused, then added, "Of course, there are differences. The Initial Universe has set up one passage each in the Primal Secret Realm and the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters; you can enter through either one."
"But if you had become a core member through the Genius Battle, you would have had to go to the Virtual Universe Company headquarters before you could transfer to the Initial Universe."
"Just as you said, it will take three years, and then a cosmic master will lead you to the primordial universe."
At this point, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Speaking of which, it seems the one leading this team is that little fellow, Nine Swords Venerable."
When the word "little guy" was mentioned, Qianwu couldn't help but sigh, "Young people are so energetic." In the eyes of this old Venerable who had lived for three or four hundred billion years, even though Jiujian had lived for billions of years, putting aside strength, he was not much different from Xu Qing; they were both "juniors."
But beneath the sighs, there was also a hint of envy.
After all, the Nine Swords Master has a very bright future ahead of him.
Unlike him, who has lived for so long, his strength has long since reached its limit, and he is also heavily in debt. He has even lost all the valuable treasures he possessed, and he is not even qualified to go out and make his way in the world.
As a cosmic venerable who has lived for hundreds of billions of years, he is still at this level. Everyone knows that he has no possibility of further improvement. This is the level he can reach in this lifetime, and cultivation is meaningless.
Moreover, he owed so much debt that he lost everything.
After a moment of confusion, Qianwu returned to the main topic: "It's fortunate that you became a core member as a business genius."
"If you participate in the Genius Battle, although you can directly enter Chaos City, according to the rules of the Virtual Universe Company, those of you who become core members after the Genius Battle will be directly under the leader of the team, namely Nine Swords, and become his subordinates."
"Those who pursue a business identity don't have these restrictions. If they want to enter the Primal Secret Realm or go to Chaos City, they just need to apply. Of course, with me around, the application process is just a formality; there's no need to wait at all."
"stop!"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed through the spaceship, reverberating throughout its interior.
"It is I who opened the cosmic passage!" the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said indifferently.
The sound penetrated the spaceship and reached the outside world.
"Oh, so it's the King of Qianwu Kingdom. It's been a long time since I've seen you."
A deep voice sounded from the outside, and then the spaceship continued its journey.
The next moment, a wave of discomfort suddenly washed over Xu Qing.
In an instant, he keenly sensed that the space-time around him began to distort and change, the scene in front of him became blurry, and even his senses seemed to be forcibly pulled.
This feeling was somewhat similar to the spacetime fluctuations he encountered in the Pavilion of All Heavens.
"Is the flow of time accelerating?" Xu Qing wondered.
"We are now in the passage between the initial universe and the original universe." The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom explained to Xu Qing, who looked strange, "The flow of time in the initial universe and the original universe is different, so the spacetime in the passage will be disordered as a result. People who enter for the first time will feel uncomfortable, but they will get used to it after a while."
