Chapter 113 Becoming an Apprentice
Gongyang Tenglong looked at Wanhuo Tianzun with a solemn expression, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Greetings, Wanhuo Tianzun."
Despite their opposing stances, Gongyang Tenglong dared not act recklessly in the face of a Celestial Venerable expert.
"Jiege, let's delay as much as possible. If we can wait for the Heavenly Venerable experts from our Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain to arrive, that would be best. If not, then we'll find an opportunity to use the Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy to kill him!" Gongyang Tenglong transmitted his thoughts to Jiege.
"Alright, Lord City Lord, you absolutely must not use any space laws at the God-King level," Jage reminded him.
"I know that if this Myriad Fire Celestial Venerable makes a move first, it might trigger the Primordial Ocean of Spiritual Energy. Hey, if the Myriad Fire Celestial Venerable also perishes here, then our contribution will be huge!" Gongyang Tenglong was in a good mood.
Jag also hoped so, but the Heavenly Venerable had too many methods, and no one could guarantee that if the Myriad Fire Heavenly Venerable made a move, he would choose to use the laws of space and time, or use Heavenly Venerable treasures and other means.
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Fires surveyed his surroundings, his Celestial Venerable-level divine sense spreading out, instantly revealing everything about the Panlong Universe.
"I never imagined there was such a peculiar cosmic space, but there's no powerful being there who could bring down that brat Tianhuo."
Wanhuo Tianzun coldly stared at Gongyang Tenglong: "Gongyang brat, tell me, how did Tianhuo perish? Don't say it was you who did it; your strength is about the same as his, you couldn't possibly kill him."
The Myriad Fire Sect possesses soul jade tablets for all its God-King level experts. Once a God-King falls, the corresponding soul jade tablet will shatter.
After the fall of the Lord of Tianhuo City, his jade tablet shattered, immediately shaking the entire Wanhuo Sect.
Being able to serve as the lord of a city, Tianhuo's status within the Wanhuo Sect surpasses that of an ordinary God King, and it is also related to Tianhuo City. Upon learning this, Wanhuo Heavenly Venerable immediately used his divine sense to cover the area surrounding Tianhuo City for investigation.
The Ten Thousand Fires Sect and the Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain have been fighting for many years. The first reaction of the Ten Thousand Fires Celestial Venerable was that the strongmen of the Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain had taken action. So while he was investigating Tianhuo City, he also investigated Gongyang City. He happened to find that Gongyang Tenglong had brought Jiege into the spatial passage, so he followed.
"Tianhuo perished in this universe," Gongyang Tenglong said.
"This universe?"
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Flames sneered, "This is merely a lower realm universe, without any powerful arrays or restrictions. How could it possibly cause the Heavenly Flame to perish? And prevent it from sending out even a single message?"
This is what Wanhuo Tianzun values most. Under normal circumstances, if a God-King under Wanhuo Sect encounters danger, he will definitely ask him for help. A God-King's divine sense can cover the entire God Realm and can easily contact him.
But when the Lord of Tianhuo City fell, he received no message from Tianhuo from beginning to end, as if he had been killed instantly.
Only the Heavenly Venerable could instantly kill a God-King.
"You little ram, how dare you deceive me?" Wanhuo Tianzun roared, flames blazing fiercely in his eyes.
"boom"
The spatial turbulence within hundreds of millions of miles was completely replaced by fire elements, leaving Jag and the other person in a sea of fire, with waves of burning pain spreading throughout their bodies.
Logically speaking, at the level of Jag and Ram Tenglong, the fire element of spatial turbulence should have little effect on them.
But now this area is completely enveloped by the power of the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires, and is no longer an ordinary spatial turbulence.
Despite the searing pain from the flames, Gongyang Tenglong gritted his teeth and said, "Myriad Fire Celestial Venerable, are you going to bully the weak with your superior strength?"
Although the various forces in the God Realm are constantly at odds, over the years, the powerful have also developed a tacit understanding: Heavenly Venerables generally do not attack God Kings. For example, in the battle at Luoxia Mountain, when Jeg and the other Heavenly Gods were fighting, Gongyang Tenglong and Tianhuo, the two God Kings, did not make a move.
The Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires sneered, "So what if the strong bully the weak? Wasn't Heavenly Fire killed by Huangfu Hongxin? Speak!"
Huangfu Hongxin, a Celestial Venerable powerhouse from the Eastern Sacred Golden Mountain.
Gongyang Tenglong laughed heartily: "Myriad Fire Celestial Venerable, you are a powerful Celestial Venerable. If you insist on making a move, I can't stop you. Then let me see just how powerful the spatial and temporal laws of a Celestial Venerable are!"
Gongyang Tenglong flipped his hand and took out a long sword as clear as autumn water. It seemed as if a river flowed through the blade, and the sound of the sword hummed like flowing water.
"Qiao Jie, step back, I'll try to force him to make a move," Gongyang Tenglong transmitted to Jie Ge.
Knowing his current strength was insufficient, and seeing that Gongyang Tenglong intended to use the Primordial Spiritual Energy to kill Wanhuo Tianzun, he had no choice but to retreat.
The tip of Gongyang Tenglong Sword pointed at Wanhuo Tianzun, with clear water flowing around it, forcing the surrounding sea of fire back half a meter.
Gongyang Tenglong let out a soft shout and unleashed a blue sword light that plunged into the sea of fire, piercing towards the Myriad Fire Celestial Venerable.
Looking at the sword light unleashed by Gongyang Tenglong, Jeger recognized the water element law contained within it. The exquisite nature of the sword move, compared to the Panlong Universe, was equivalent to the fusion of the profound mysteries of five water element laws.
Looking at the blue sword light unleashed by Gongyang Tenglong, Wanhuo Tianzun smiled contemptuously. He made a fist with his right hand, and endless fire elements gathered into a fireball the size of a fingernail. The powerful flames condensed to their extreme and turned golden.
"go!"
The Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires uttered a single word, and a golden fireball shot towards the blue sword light, easily shattering it.
"Perfect!"
Jerg was shocked. The move that the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires used incorporated all the profound mysteries of the fire element.
This was the first time since Jag came to the God Realm that he had seen someone reach the Great Perfection level in terms of techniques.
The golden fireball shattered the blue sword light and continued its charge towards Gongyang Tenglong.
"pity."
A hint of regret appeared on Gongyang Tenglong's face.
The Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires did not use the complete laws of space or time. He only used the power within his body combined with a fire-type ultimate move at the Great Perfection level to defeat Gongyang Tenglong's full-force sword strike.
"Is this the only way?"
Faced with the attack of the Myriad Fire Celestial Venerable, Gongyang Tenglong hesitated. What he wanted most was for the Myriad Fire Celestial Venerable to actively use the laws of space or time, causing the cosmic barrier to shatter and allowing primordial spiritual energy to surge in.
However, the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires did not do that. In this situation, his only remaining option was to use a space law technique at the God-King level to break through the cosmic barrier and perish together with the Celestial Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires.
Gongyang Tenglong didn't want to do this unless absolutely necessary, and he didn't want to die, but he had no other choice when facing a Heavenly Venerable expert.
Seeing the golden fireball hurtling towards him, Gongyang Tenglong steeled his heart and made up his mind.
"Hmph, being able to drag a Celestial Venerable expert down with me is worth dying for!"
Gongyang Tenglong's eyes flashed, and he was about to unleash a space law at the level of a god-king.
"Whoosh"
At the critical moment, a golden burst of energy struck the golden fireball.
"boom"
With a deafening roar, the golden fireball erupted with a blazing inferno, engulfing the golden energy. However, the golden energy was not diminished; instead, it continued to retaliate until both the fire and the golden energy vanished.
"Haha, old man Huo, bullying the weak, you're still as shameless as ever!"
A majestic middle-aged man, dressed in a long golden robe and wearing a crown, strode in.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Gongyang Tenglong's face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed, "Master!"
The imposing middle-aged man nodded and smiled: "Don't be afraid, my disciple. With your master here, this old man with fire can't hurt you!"
The newcomer was none other than Huangfu Hongxin, a powerful Celestial Venerable from the Eastern Sacred Golden Mountain.
When Wanhuo Tianzun saw Huangfu Hongxin arrive, he narrowed his eyes, and the fire in his eyes seemed to condense into two flaming arrows, which landed on Huangfu Hongxin.
The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Flames sneered, "Huangfu, you killed one of my Divine Kings first, and now you want to accuse me of bullying the weak?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Huangfu Hongxin showed no respect for Wanhuo Tianzun. "You're talking about that brat Tianhuo, right? When did I kill him? Show me the evidence!"
"Fine, fine..." Wan Huo Tianzun was furious. Where did he get the evidence?
"I won't bother with the Heavenly Fire, but this cosmic space is yours for the taking by the Eastern Sacred Golden Mountain!"
Huangfu Hongxin chuckled: "This spatial passage is near Gongyang City, which is under my jurisdiction, so it should naturally fall under the control of my Eastern Sacred Golden Mountain. What? You're not satisfied? Or do you want to fight me before the Heavenly Venerable Battlefield opens? I don't mind!"
The Heavenly Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires' expression was uncertain. Under normal circumstances, even if the outcome was inconclusive, he would definitely fight Huangfu Hongxin, even if it meant both of them were injured, just to vent his anger.
However, there is not much time left before the next Heavenly Venerable Battlefield opens, and it would be very unwise to get injured at this time.
Suppressing his anger, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Fires sneered, "Huangfu, don't be so smug. Even if I don't compete with you for such a cosmic space, the other old guys in the God Realm won't let you get it easily. Let's see how you deal with it."
Huangfu Hongxin said calmly, "Then you don't need to worry about it."
"Heh heh, I'm waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of fire appeared, and the figure of the Myriad Fire Celestial Venerable disappeared from the spot and entered the spatial passage.
Seeing Wan Huo Tianzun leave, Jiege finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly flew towards Huangfu Hongxin and Gongyang Tenglong.
"Jorge greets the Celestial Venerable." Jage bowed respectfully.
Gongyang Tenglong said to Huangfu Hongxin, "Master, he is the Qiao Jie that I mentioned to you."
Huangfu Hongxin sized up Jiege and nodded: "Not bad. I heard that you were only a god for over a million years, but you became a central god before the battle at Luoxia Mountain?"
After Jag became a guest elder of the city lord's mansion, the mansion collected relevant information about Jag. This information was not a secret and was not difficult for the mansion.
"Yes," Jag replied.
Huangfu Hongxin continued, "I see that the divine power within you is extremely pure, having reached the level of an upper-level divine being. I know you have cultivated for a thousand years in my disciple's Ram Realm, where nearly a million years have passed, haven't you? How much of the laws of space have you comprehended?"
The purity of divine power is directly proportional to one's realm. However, the soul and nascent soul are hidden deep within the mind and are difficult to detect. Generally, observing someone's realm is equivalent to sensing the purity of their divine power.
Huangfu Hongxin could see that Jiege was now a high-level celestial being, but there was a great difference between high-level celestial beings. Jiege had comprehended several degrees of the laws of space, which even a celestial being like him couldn't tell at a glance.
"I have grasped more than 90% of the laws of space," Jage said calmly.
"What?" Gongyang Tenglong's eyes widened.
While it's rare for a mid-level Celestial God to break through to an upper-level Celestial God in a million years, there are still some geniuses in the God Realm who can do it. However, there are very few who can cultivate from a mid-level Celestial God to the peak of an upper-level Celestial God in a million years.
Huangfu Hongxin's eyes lit up, and he said directly, "Okay, Qiao Jie, you'll be my apprentice."
Jag was stunned.
Does the Celestial Venerable want to take him as a disciple?
Huangfu Hongxin continued, "Your talent is exceptional, fully meeting my standards for accepting disciples. Of course, I won't force you. If you're unwilling, you can refuse, and I won't do anything to you."
"Qiao Jie, say yes quickly!" Gongyang Tenglong hurriedly transmitted his voice to Jie Ge.
Jag immediately bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master."
Having a Celestial Master is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At least in the God Realm, he will have a great backer and will be much safer.
"Haha!" Huangfu Hongxin laughed with satisfaction.
"Alright, from now on you will be my seventh disciple, and Tenglong will be your third senior brother."
Jiege bowed to Gongyang Tenglong and said, "Third Senior Brother."
"Haha, junior brother." Gongyang Tenglong was also very happy.
Huangfu Hongxin said, "Little Seven, your six senior brothers are now all God Kings. I hope you can break through soon. However, what I hope for most is that you can become Heavenly Venerables. I currently have seven disciples, and not a single one of them is a Heavenly Venerable. If one day we, master and disciples, are all Heavenly Venerables, that will be a legendary tale in the God Realm."
"Disciples will certainly work hard," both Jiege and Gongyang Tenglong said, bowing deeply.
"Little Seven, it's your first day as an apprentice, so I should give you a gift. What kind of weapon are you usually good at?" Huangfu Hongxin asked.
"Gift?"
Before Jergi could speak, Gongyang Tenglong transmitted his voice, "Junior Brother, Master has many treasures. Every time we fellow disciples join the sect, Master gives us a gift. Don't be shy, just ask."
Jeger, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and immediately said, "Master, your disciple wants a glove-like weapon."
As his physical strength continued to improve, Jag gradually stopped using other weapons and switched to using his fists and feet, since many weapons were not as hard as his body.
"Gloves?"
Huangfu Hongxin flipped his hand and took out a pair of black gloves.
"These gloves are called 'Shadow,' and they belong to the dark attribute. I obtained them when I participated in the last Heavenly Venerable Battle. They are a first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasure with the special effects of 'Spirit Shattering' and 'Illusion.' Among first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasures, they are considered quite good."
Huangfu Hongxin handed the "Shadow" gloves to Jage.
Jag quickly accepted it, saying, "Thank you, Master."
Jag carefully examined the first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasure in his hand.
"This intensity is about the same as my current physical strength."
After breaking through to the Upper Celestial God level, Jugger used up all the remaining two physical enhancement attempts, elevating his body to a level far exceeding that of a high-grade Celestial Artifact. However, he had no suitable benchmark to compare how strong he was.
Now that he has obtained a top-tier Primordial Spiritual Treasure, he has finally confirmed his physical strength.
"However, my body did not experience any special effects."
The "Shadow" gloves have two special effects: "Soul Shatter" attacks the soul, and "Illusion" creates illusions that affect enemies when attacking. Both are special effects that can be used in combat.
"With this 'Shadow' Gloves, my combat power has been enhanced once again."
Huangfu Hongxin said, "Little Seven, refining a Primordial Spiritual Treasure usually takes more than ten thousand years. I will take you to the Holy Emperor's Cave Heaven, where the flow of time is 100,000 times that of the outside world. You will be able to refine this Primordial Spiritual Treasure in just over a month."
Upon hearing this, Jugger's face showed a hint of difficulty. He said, "Master, this universe is my home. Now that the Myriad Fire Sect knows about it, I don't know what will happen. I don't want to leave at this time."
"I see." Huangfu Hongxin thought for a moment. "In that case, I will set up a space in Gongyang City where time is accelerated by a million times, and you can refine it inside."
It's not only spatial artifacts that can have the effect of accelerating time. Celestial Venerables who have mastered the laws of time, as well as some God Kings who have comprehended time acceleration, can also set up simple time-accelerating spaces.
Moreover, the time acceleration effect set up by powerful individuals is better than that of spatial magic treasures. However, powerful individuals need to be distracted to maintain such spaces, so they often do not do it.
Like Gongyang Tenglong, he has mastered the art of time acceleration to its extreme, and can accelerate time a million times during battle.
Of course, the battle was only short-lived. If he wanted to maintain a time-accelerated space for a long time, he couldn't accelerate the duration by a million times, not even a hundred thousand times, because that would consume too much of his mind and divine power. At most, he could only accelerate the time by ten thousand times.
However, Huangfu Hongxin is a Celestial Venerable who has fully mastered the laws of time, so he can still create a space where time is accelerated a million times.
"Thank you, Master!" Jag said gratefully.
"As for your hometown, I will discuss it with the other Celestial Venerables of the Holy Emperor's Grotto-heaven, and we will do our utmost to protect this cosmic space," Huangfu Hongxin said.
Somewhat nervously, Jag asked, "Master, will it be very difficult to protect my hometown?"
Huangfu Hongxin did not shy away from the truth: "It is difficult, but it is not impossible. There are eight major grotto-heavens and thirty major celestial beings in the God Realm. Our Eastern Pole Holy Golden Mountain is located in the Holy Emperor Grotto-heaven, which is one of the eight major grotto-heavens. Our opponents are the other seven major grotto-heavens and the thirty major celestial beings. These forces all have celestial beings in charge, and some have more than one. They all want to control more of the universe."
Jage was shocked: "So many forces? Can our Holy Emperor's Grotto-Heaven withstand them?"
Huangfu Hongxin laughed and said, "If they join forces against us, we naturally can't stop them. However, they are not a monolithic group. Some of them are even mortal enemies and it's impossible for them to cooperate. Moreover, there isn't much time left before the next Heavenly Venerable Battlefield. I estimate that the other old guys won't choose to start a war at this time."
"That old man Huo should have already spread the news about this universe. It won't be long before the major powers discuss how to handle this matter. If there are any results, I will let you know. The White Bird Mine is within the territory of our Eastern Pole Holy Gold Mountain, so our chances are still very high."
Huangfu Hongxin looked at Jiege and said, "There's no use in being anxious at a time like this. Focus on your cultivation. Only by becoming strong will you have a voice."
"Yes, I understand, Master," Jag said.
He is truly powerless now.
