"You still won't admit you misjudged him, Xue Yu?" King Ziyuan observed Snow Prison King's reaction.
Snow Prison King was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking, his voice carrying its usual coldness and certainty:
"Heh… Tian Shi Palace Lord… would actually look at him differently? That's unexpected. But… the seventh level?"
He changed the subject, his tone filled with undeniable negation:
"To pass the seventh level within thirty years? Absolutely impossible! The Cosmic Sky Bridge, each level is a new heaven! The fourth level is already a difficult threshold, and the fifth level is the bottleneck for countless geniuses! Let alone the sixth and seventh levels?"
"For Qing Yu to pass the fifth level within thirty years, that would already be astonishing! The seventh level? A fool's dream!"
Snow Prison King closed his eyes again, as if to shut out the outside world's disturbances, his voice returning to absolute coldness:
"Although Tian Shi Palace Lord intends to take him as a disciple, it's futile if he can't meet the requirements for apprenticeship! My previous judgment was not wrong!"
King Ziyuan looked at his friend's cold, "I've seen through everything" demeanor, shrugging helplessly, no longer arguing, but a hint of anticipation for a good show flickered in his eyes.
He knew that Snow Prison King's stubbornness was ingrained in his bones; he would never admit he might have misjudged until the very end.
Qing Yu returned to his small building in Primordial Chaos City, quickly calming down and beginning to ponder the most realistic problem.
"Thirty years in Primordial Chaos City… nearly five years have passed, leaving me with, at most, about twenty-five years." Qing Yu quickly calculated in his mind.
"The Cosmic Sky Bridge seventh level…" This goal stood before him like a towering divine mountain.
Qing Yu clearly remembered that in the original work, Luo Feng's generation was hailed as the most outstanding in tens of thousands of eras, yet Luo Feng only reached the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge when he left Primordial Chaos City, and the first-ranked Bolan only reached the sixth level.
"Originally, my plan was…" Qing Yu's eyes were focused.
"To, within ten years, based on my comprehension of the first 18 secret techniques of the second level of Myriad Tribulations, combined with the chaos tablet's guidance, fully assault the fourth level! Then spend about fifteen more years to assault the fifth level."
"But now…" He felt the heavy weight of that email.
"The seventh level! This means I must continuously cross the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh levels within the remaining twenty-five years! Four heavenly chasms!"
The pressure was unprecedentedly immense!
But there was no trace of retreat in Qing Yu's eyes; instead, an even more fervent flame of fighting spirit ignited! Beneath his calm and reserved personality was an unyielding soul!
"Compress time to the extreme! Squeeze every bit of insight dry!" Qing Yu thought fiercely.
"The Myriad Tribulations second-level secret techniques must be comprehended faster! The opportunities to comprehend the chaos tablet must be used effectively! All energy, fully invested!"
He no longer thought much, immediately sat cross-legged, his consciousness sinking into the text and diagrams of the Myriad Tribulations second-level secret techniques.
At the same time, the layered ripples of the universe chaos tablet's "ripple diagram" in his mind reappeared, mutually verifying and deducing with the secret techniques.
One day, while Qing Yu was comprehending a secret technique on the rooftop of his residence in Primordial Chaos City, his intelligent assistant suddenly popped up a notification:
"Your Highness Qing Yu, your item has arrived in Primordial Chaos City and requires your personal collection."
Qing Yu opened his eyes, a hint of confusion flashing within them. He hadn't exchanged any items in the treasure vault recently, and Tian Shi Palace Lord had only given him ten additional opportunities to comprehend the chaos tablet as a reward, with no physical rewards.
What could it be?
With his confusion, Qing Yu went to the item reception area. After identity verification, a silver box, entirely made of special metal with complex secret patterns flowing on its surface, was handed to him.
Returning to his small building in Primordial Chaos City, Qing Yu carefully opened the box. At its center lay a strange crystal, fist-sized, perfectly spherical, seemingly condensed from the purest starlight and chaotic airflow.
It had no dazzling light, yet it exuded a deep, vast aura, as if connected to the very origin of the universe!
Just by looking at it, Qing Yu felt his soul tremble slightly, resonating strangely with the surrounding law fluctuations!
"What is this…?" Qing Yu widened his eyes, examining it closely.
Qing Yu had never seen this object before, only feeling that it contained a strange law profoundness that made him want to swallow it whole.
Just then, the intelligent assistant prompted again; it was a communication request from Marquis Tianyi.
Qing Yu immediately connected to the Virtual Universe, appearing in Manor 114. Marquis Tianyi was already waiting there, with a hint of undetectable fatigue on his face, but his eyes were unusually bright and gentle, even carrying a trace of anticipation.
"Teacher." Qing Yu bowed, his gaze questioning, and at the same time, projected the strange starlight chaos crystal.
"This disciple just received an unknown item, its aura is extremely peculiar, I wonder…"
"It's good that you received it!" Marquis Tianyi looked at the projection, a relieved smile on his face.
"This is something your teacher prepared for you — the world heart!"
"world heart?" Qing Yu murmured the unfamiliar name, his confusion deepening.
"Yes, the world heart." Marquis Tianyi's tone became solemn.
"This item is extremely precious! So precious that… your teacher had to shamelessly use up all the favors accumulated over countless years and nearly his entire fortune to barely exchange for this one."
Qing Yu's heart trembled! His teacher had paid such a huge price? As an immortal Marquis of the Virtual Universe Corporation, Marquis Tianyi's connections and wealth were far beyond what an ordinary immortal Marquis could compare to!
Qing Yu immediately realized the extraordinary value of this item and subconsciously searched for "world heart" in the Virtual Universe treasure vault system.
However, the search result — none!
"Insufficient permissions, or the item is not in the retrieval directory." A cold prompt appeared.
Qing Yu's pupils contracted. As a Primal Secret Realm member, his permissions were extremely high; he could even search for rare resources that many immortal Marquises might not be able to exchange for.
This "world heart" couldn't even be searched for? Its value and secrecy far exceeded his imagination! This was definitely no ordinary treasure!
"Teacher! This item is too precious! This disciple feels unworthy!" Qing Yu immediately said, his tone carrying heavy pressure.
"Teacher, you…"
Marquis Tianyi waved his hand, interrupting Qing Yu's words, a magnanimous and slightly melancholic smile on his face:
"Qing Yu, no need to decline. Since your teacher gave it to you, there's naturally a reason. First, let me finish explaining its function."
He looked deeply at the projection: "The world heart is one of the auxiliary materials for forging a Source Supreme Treasure!"
Source Supreme Treasure!
Qing Yu's heart was greatly shaken! As a transmigrator, he knew about Source Supreme Treasures!
Those were supreme treasures that could allow Universe Venerables and Universe Masters to quickly recover their divine bodies, serving as a strategic trump card in racial wars! Their value, to some extent, even far exceeded ordinary attack and defense supreme treasures!
