Chapter 644 The Popularity of the Qianwu Kingdom's Ruler
"A dry witch?"
"It's the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom!"
"Didn't he break through to become a Universe Master? Why is he attending this kind of gathering?"
Upon the arrival of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, all the kings and venerables present felt some pressure and unease. This was not because the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler held himself high and arrogant, but rather because of an instinctive suppression and influence on a life level between the two sides.
Just like an ordinary person seeing a life form the size of a mountain, that instinctive awe arises spontaneously, and even knowing that the other party cannot harm them, it is difficult to get along calmly.
Just as the lords of the universe faced the Giant Axe Founder, every time the Giant Axe Founder appeared, all the lords of the universe present couldn't help but feel awe.
"What? You're not welcoming me?" The King of Qianwu Kingdom smiled and sat down in his usual seat.
The Ancient Wheel Kingdom Lord said with a slight sigh, "It's not that we don't welcome you, but your presence makes us all feel awkward. After all, you are now the Lord of the Universe, and you are no longer on the same level as us."
King Noah laughed and said, "Yes, logically speaking, you could accept us as your disciples by now..."
Even the savage king, a mere brute, couldn't help but sigh, "You're incredibly lucky. How could a being like a Holy Master be born in your universe?"
The words of the Savage King reminded all the Universe Kings present of the amusing story between the Qianwu King and Zhou Ze, but no one felt the slightest bit of mockery. If becoming a Universe King only required enduring ridicule from others, then surely no Venerable One would be unwilling.
The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom snorted, "What? Don't think I don't know you secretly call me 'Qian Wu' Venerable behind my back. I've been unlucky for trillions of epochs, can't you let me have a little luck?"
"Hmm, Qianwu, I suspect you've exhausted the luck of trillions of epochs just to wait for the Holy Master's arrival!"
"You're not just lucky, you're incredibly lucky!"
"However, I'm very curious. What did you mean when you decided to take the Holy Master as your disciple? Could you satisfy our curiosity?"
Amidst the banter and jokes, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord once again blended into the group. In fact, as long as the Qianwu Kingdom Lord didn't act presumptuously, it would be easy for him to integrate, since the other kingdom lords and venerables would naturally want to have connections like him within the group of universe lords.
Not to mention that the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is a disciple of the Holy Master, and the information he has access to is far superior to theirs.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, facing his embarrassing predicament, showed no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, he seemed somewhat proud of himself, saying:
"Back then, when my teacher had just left Earth and was beginning to make a name for himself in the virtual universe, I took notice of him. In fact, compared to all the powerful figures in our upper echelons, I was the first to discover and value his existence."
"Then, as you know, the teacher rejected me. If it were you guys, you'd probably be furious, but I admired him and kept an eye on him. But it wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't kept an eye on him; once I started, I was completely overwhelmed. Later, I even received orders from the Lord of Chaos City to not reveal any information about the teacher!"
"As for what happens in the open afterward, you all basically know."
"Oh! What's out in the open? Is there something else, something clandestine?" The barbaric king's eyes gleamed with intense curiosity. "Would you mind revealing it?"
Other kings or venerable figures also looked at the Qianwu King with some anticipation and curiosity.
The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said, "There's nothing inconvenient or inconvenient to reveal."
I learned some things from Senior Brother Luo Feng and a few others.
"From the very beginning, the teacher knew that keeping a low profile was the key, so he deliberately hid himself."
"Qianwu, hurry up and tell us, stop keeping us in suspense..." the crowd urged.
The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said dejectedly, "To put it simply, it's..."
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom shared some of Zhou Ze's past deeds, both public and private, causing a stir of shock and astonishment.
"I didn't expect that the Holy Master was actually one of the geniuses who entered the Virtual Universe Company in that year's Genius Battle. Tsk tsk, three of the top ten in the Genius Battle were disciples of the Holy Master. Although Hong and Thor don't have official titles, their relationship is similar to that of Giant Axe and the Primordial Ancestor. Isn't it... not much different?"
"The Holy Master is too modest! If I were that age and possessed such incredible guidance abilities, I would have been invincible long ago!"
"No wonder the Holy Master chose to keep a low profile. His miraculous guidance ability, combined with his unique talent, gives people endless imagination."
"Yes, our human race, along with the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race, are the four most powerful races and are mortal enemies. Even before the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed by the origin of the universe, they never united against our human race. But with the appearance of the Holy Master, he united them all by his own power. Haha..."
"As expected of the Holy Master, he had foresight, concealing his identity and keeping a low profile long ago. In reality, I reckon not only those alien races, but even his disciples probably don't know his exact location. This kind of secrecy is something only the Zerg Queen would be ashamed to do by personally going to Earth to rewind time. I bet she doesn't even know who the Holy Master is, haha!"
As the conversation progressed, the initial awkwardness dissipated, and everyone became familiar with the Qianwu Kingdom Lord again. As expected of someone who had died three times and still had people helping him, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord's good interpersonal relationships were not without reason. He had connections both within his clan and the Hong Alliance.
Even among Zhou Ze's disciples, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord did not act pretentiously because of his age and status. Instead, he took the initiative to approach Luo Feng and immediately sought him out to pay his respects.
Even an ancient ruler like the King of Qianwu Kingdom did that. At that time, he was the first universe master in his sect. Such actions immediately increased Luo Feng and the others' goodwill towards him, and they truly recognized and accepted him.
"Qianwu, you are the Holy Master's disciple. What was the Holy Master thinking with this decision? He actually published the introductory text of the 'Mind Cultivation Method' and even demanded that it be promoted to every inhabited planet and important location of the race, including all the continents and islands in the virtual universe. This is a bit unbelievable..."
"Hmm, the 'Mental State Cultivation Method' is on the same level as other top-level secret techniques even at the beginner level, and is worth 100 billion points. If it weren't for the need to standardize the value of the highest secret techniques, I suspect it would be worth much more than that."
"Definitely. Back in the beginning, you could buy the later techniques with points, but they were quickly hidden away. It's said that a secrecy order was issued, forbidding anyone from revealing them to anyone."
With each person offering their own opinion, the rulers of the universe and the venerable ones couldn't help but inquire with the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom about the secrets behind this decision.
"The teacher didn't tell me, how would I know? But you should know that a teacher wouldn't do something that harms themselves for the benefit of others. Just do as instructed, and there's such a generous reward!"
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom pondered.
"Qianwu, you're the only one in our circle who's only just begun to grasp the basics of mental cultivation. Just what kind of power do you think mental strength is that requires even a beginner's level of mental cultivation?"
The King of Ancient Wheels asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
