Chapter 255, Marking the Boat to Find the Sword
In the lush forest, a river tens of kilometers wide meanders by. On the calm water, a two-meter-tall figure sits in a small wooden boat drifting downstream.
Without using any special means, Mingyu, just like an ordinary person, sat on the small wooden boat he had just casually cut down into a boat and drifted downstream.
Above him, in the starry sky, Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, watched this scene. In a flash, Ye Muxuan appeared at the stern of the ship. Looking at Mingyu's back, he suddenly spoke, "I just met with Zuoshanke and we talked about some things."
Upon hearing that name, Mingyu's body visibly trembled.
Even though Ye Muxuan was already a universe master billions of years ago, those clansmen who were wiped out when the Origin Star shattered, Mingyu's family and friends, the strongest of whom were only realm masters, could not be resurrected. The person who knew him best in this universe was his former friend, Honglian Wang Hongyan, the woman who thought he had died at the hands of Shattered Heart King and twice sought revenge against Shattered Heart King, but failed and ended up wounded and hiding away to lick her wounds alone.
So even if it's just to give this devoted woman an explanation, he still wants to marry her.
However, he no longer has any relatives, friends, parents, or clansmen.
Sometimes, the kind of immortality that comes with no family or friends is actually a form of mental torment.
"I, as the Lord of the Universe, certainly cannot resurrect them, nor can the strongest beings in the universe like the Giant Axe Founder. But even at a higher level, after transcending reincarnation, it might not be possible," Ye Muxuan said, looking at Mingyu. "The reason we can't do it right now is simply because we are too weak."
"Thank you."
"I've reached an agreement with the Mountain Hermit: we won't interfere with the natural workings of this planet. I don't care whether he can cultivate the third person he wants, but if that person is detrimental to humanity's development or poses a threat, I won't hesitate to eliminate him." Ye Muxuan looked at Mingyu. "So if you want to take on disciples, if you want to leave some memories, to leave a spiritual anchor, then look for those who are nearing their end and don't have much time left. As for those who can leave this planet on their own, regardless of their strength, don't interfere; I have my own arrangements."
Over these billions of years, Mingyu has risen from a high-ranking Marquis when he was first resurrected, to King Mingwu, to the ruler of Qingyuan Kingdom, and now to a top-tier cosmic overlord. During this time, he has guided countless descendants of the Qingyuan Clan, but so far he has not taken on a single disciple.
Over the years, besides Qing Shuang and Lian Luo from the beginning, Ye Muxuan has now taken in three more disciples, bringing the total to five direct disciples. As for the many nominal disciples, he only provides occasional guidance and it's not a big deal; even the Universe Venerable has a large number of nominal disciples.
"I understand," Mingyu replied in a low voice.
This planet, which was later rebuilt from a broken shell, may contain a fragment of rock that is related to the original Mingyu. The river in the story of "marking the boat to find the sword" is also the river of time. The river that Mingyu is currently drifting in may well be the mother river from which many future living beings will drink and depend for survival.
"When you reach the realm of the universe's master, you will discover that the primordial universe was merely a cradle that nurtured us. Take this step, step out of the primordial universe..."
Only by surviving the cycle of reincarnation can they possibly be brought back even if the primordial universe is destroyed. Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, disappeared onto the wooden boat, leaving behind his voice: "Forgetting the past is tantamount to betrayal; living in the past is tantamount to death."
In the Chaotic Ruins, Ye Muxuan, dressed in an embroidered black robe, looked at the young man kneeling before him and slowly said, "Since you are willing, from this day forward, I will accept you as my personal disciple."
"Thank you, teacher!" The boy bowed three times before standing up, revealing a simple and honest smile.
The boy wasn't very tall, shorter than Ye Muxuan's original form, probably only a little over 1.9 meters. He had short blue hair, blue eyes, and blue markings on his cheeks. His smile was very honest, kind, and gentle.
"Not counting the nominal disciples under my tutelage, you are the sixth direct disciple. Your five senior brothers and sisters are now all Universe Venerables. You are still young, and you still have a chance to reach their level in the future." Ye Muxuan, dressed in an embroidered black robe, looked at the blue-haired boy and nodded in satisfaction.
Meng Lan, a genius boy from the "Lanjing Clan," the royal family of the Lanjing Universe Kingdom, ranked first in the Universe-level Strongest Battle held by the Virtual Universe Company, leading by a significant margin throughout the battles. After thirty years of cultivation in Chaos City, he finally passed the seventh level of the Bridge to Heaven. Ye Muxuan was somewhat moved and accepted him as his disciple.
Oh, the recent genius battles and power battles have all been presided over by Venerable Zhenyan. He wanted to find some suitable subordinates, but unfortunately, the most outstanding genius was snatched away by the Shadow Blade Master.
At his level, many cosmic rulers were willing to send their most outstanding members of their royal families to his tutelage. Even the Chaos True God, the Giant Axe Founder, and others urged him to take on more disciples. After all, compared to other cosmic rulers and the strongest beings in the universe, his previous five personal disciples were truly few.
However, the Shadow Blade Master's five direct disciples are currently excessively powerful. His eldest disciple, Venerable Qingmei, is one of the five top cosmic overlords of the human race and a future seed of the cosmic master. His second disciple, Venerable Xuejian, is also an extremely powerful cosmic overlord. His third disciple, Palace Master Yinhun; his fourth disciple, Venerable Mingluo; and his fifth disciple, Venerable Yueqiang, are all high-level Venerables with considerable strength.
Even among those immortal rulers, there is a saying that the geniuses who are chosen as disciples by the Shadow Blade Lord all start as high-level Venerables!
This statement may be arbitrary, but at least for now, it doesn't seem wrong.
Meng Lan had also heard of the Lan Jing Kingdom's claim, and while she felt confident, she also felt immense pressure. The Lan Jing Kingdom's ruler was the greatest leader in the history of the Lan Jing tribe, and according to him, he himself was currently only a High-Rank Venerable.
"This disciple will certainly work hard and live up to the teacher's expectations," said the blue-haired boy, Meng Lan, with a determined look on his face.
"Your fourth senior brother is here." Ye Muxuan, wearing an embroidered black robe, suddenly looked behind Meng Lan. There, a tall and burly man with a huge purple secret pattern battle sword on his back walked over.
Venerable Mingluo's signature weapon is the "Mingluo Blade," a treasure that once slew three demon venerables in a cosmic secret realm.
He is also known as the new generation of the Killing Venerable, whose fame rivals that of the Netherworld Venerable, one of the five top cosmic overlords.
"Teacher!" Venerable Mingluo, who was nearly ten meters tall, stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Ye Muxuan.
The blue-haired youth, Meng Lan, looked at Venerable Mingluo, who was praised as a peerless genius by the king, with some curiosity. The latter had a calm and indifferent expression, but the bloody aura on his body was exceptionally strong, as if it had solidified into a tangible substance, almost like a bloody killing field rushing towards him.
"Hmm." Ye Muxuan nodded to Venerable Mingluo, then looked at Meng Lan and said, "When you are sent out as a Domain Lord, your fourth senior brother will secretly follow you. But he will only intervene when you encounter situations beyond your strength, so you should not rely on him too much."
"If you encounter assassination attempts by domain lords or realm masters, your fourth senior brother will not intervene, and even if you die, I will not revive you."
"Your second senior brother was assassinated by the mechanical race's venerable when he was the domain lord, but he held on until the Nine Flames Kingdom Lord and your senior sister arrived. But I hope you can rely on yourself to walk the path of the strong."
"Yes, teacher!"
