"Holy crap!"
"Becoming an immortal king? How is that possible? Did the teacher cheat?"
Tu Man and Clark were dumbfounded, their brains practically overclocked to the point of collapse. They couldn't fathom how their teacher had broken through to become an immortal, let alone a king-level immortal. It was just too unbelievable.
Seeing this, Luo Feng and Thor couldn't stop laughing; it felt so good.
You know, when they first heard the news, they were both completely bewildered and couldn't understand it. It was incredibly painful. Now that they've shared that "pain" with others, they feel incredibly relieved.
Hong smiled as he silently watched this "joyful" scene, feeling utterly content. Heaven knows how "devastated" he was when he first heard the news.
I feel so refreshed now, so refreshed!
"I know it's hard for you two to accept, but it's the truth!" Thor said, feigning nonchalance. "This was said by our junior master Hong, our junior brother Luo—"
Thor emphasized this point, glancing at Hong with a mischievous smile.
Hong remained calm, his heart unmoved, and he even felt a little amused, which made Thor feel quite bored.
"No! Explain! We demand an explanation from the teacher!!" Clark stood up defiantly, his face filled with resentment.
"We agreed to grow together and become the strongest in the universe—but he sneaked away and broke through to immortality alone, becoming a king-level immortal! This is just too much!"
Thor immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, that's right—Teacher Zhou needs to give us an explanation! He was already at the peak of the Realm Lord level eighty years ago, and he never even mentioned it to us. Now he's putting on such a grand show for us, how can he have the nerve to do this?!"
When it comes to badmouthing his teacher, Luo Feng is naturally very knowledgeable: "Teacher, you don't know what kind of person he is, but I know him well. He's always thinking about showing off. You don't know, when I first started working with him, he would always try to show off to me, like he couldn't live without doing so."
"Hurry, hurry, have Babata contact Teacher Zhou and get us an explanation!" Thor urged.
"Yeah, yeah, hurry up!" Clark urged.
"This isn't right. Everyone has their own privacy. The teacher must have his reasons for not telling us—." Tu Man was an honest man.
These words immediately provoked "public anger," and the group glared at him.
Tu Man immediately backed down and said no more.
this side.
Zhou Ze was sitting in the study of the Taichu District Manor, planning to book a Divine Kingdom teleportation session, when Babata suddenly appeared, slapping his thigh and laughing heartily.
"What's wrong, Babata? Why are you smiling like that?" Seeing Babata so happy, Zhou Ze couldn't help but smile as well.
"Haha, no, it's just that Hong told Luo Feng and Thor about your breakthrough to immortality, which is comparable to being crowned a king. The expressions and torment on their faces were priceless. Then they shared it with Clark and Tu Man, haha—"
Babata exclaimed excitedly, "Don't even mention how much they're suffering right now! Their brains are fried, they can't even figure out how you improved so quickly—"
Zhou Ze said with a faint smile, "Hong usually seems quite honest, but he's a real sly fox—"
He guessed Hong's thoughts with just a little effort.
Babata laughed and said, "Zhou Ze, they're itching to get an explanation from you. Are you going or not?"
"Go ahead, why not? They're practically offering themselves up for me to pretend to be someone else. Why not? I was thinking of not trying to discourage them—" Zhou Ze's lips curled up.
======
Heilongshan Island, Jiuxing Bay.
As soon as Zhou Ze appeared, he was surrounded by Luo Feng and the others.
"Master! You've truly broken through to the Immortal realm, and are even comparable to being crowned a king?"
"Teacher, have you been trying to hide this from us all along?"
"Teacher, we agreed to progress and grow together, so how did you secretly break through to immortality? And even went straight to becoming a king?"
"An explanation? You need to give us an explanation and a reason, or you're not leaving today, hmph—."
Zhou Ze glared at him, his face stern: "What's there to explain? Do I need to explain myself to you? Besides, you've never asked me—"
"Sometimes, why don't you look inward for the reasons? Have you been putting in the effort? Have you been diligent in your practice? Have you reflected on yourself every day? Don't spout nonsense here!"
"Especially Thor and you, Clark, always lounging around like that, shaking your head and swaying, you can tell you're not serious—"
"Luo Feng, you've gotten some good fortune and become arrogant, putting pressure on me all the time. Now this is your retribution!"
"Thor, stop grinning like that all the time, you're corrupting Clark—"
"Look at Jia Tuman, you're strong, you're hardworking, and more importantly, you're all serious—"
"Hong, you're not honest either. You leaked my privacy to these guys right after I left."
Zhou Ze engaged in a "debate with the scholars," criticizing each and every one of them, leaving Luo Feng and his group feeling stifled, wanting to laugh but too embarrassed to do so.
In the end, Zhou Ze couldn't hold back any longer.
"Haha, you bunch of traitors and heartless bastards, is it my fault? You delivered yourselves to my doorstep and gave me a slap in the face. I didn't even want to hurt you—"
Zhou Ze laughed and pointed at Hong: "If you want to blame someone, blame Hong. He lost his temper!"
Zhou Ze had intended to shift the focus of his attacks, but he did not expect that Luo Feng and his men were united and unyielding to any attempts to sow discord.
"Tch, it's just that one of the teachers wanted to subtly show off—"
"We won't fall for that! We'll unite and protest!"
Thor and Clark looked wise.
Luo Feng, Tu Man, and Hong all stared intently at Zhou Ze.
Finally, Luo Feng, the eldest disciple, calmly asked, "Teacher, what exactly has happened to you all these years? Tell us, satisfy our curiosity, otherwise we can't even eat—."
Zhou Ze laughed heartily:
"Actually, it's nothing. Just cultivate normally. Which of you isn't far superior to a Realm Lord in your understanding of the laws?"
"As long as you don't care about the resources of the Primal Secret Realm, or the advantage of a Realm Lord-level expert comprehending the laws, you too can quickly become immortals!"
Thor grinned, "But your breakthrough was way too fast! Domain Lords and World Lords don't break through that easily, let alone Immortal Gods!"
Thor asked everyone what was on their minds.
"Hmm, becoming a Domain Lord is a bit difficult, but becoming a World Lord and an Immortal isn't too hard—" Zhou Ze explained, "Go and look up the requirements for breaking through to World Lord and Immortal God. I'm too lazy to explain Luo Feng; he's a special case. As for Hong and Thunder God, they've both achieved something in their mental state, and their domains are different from others. So for the three of you, breaking through to World Lord isn't a big deal."
"As for Tuman and Clark, they're a bit slower because they haven't quite grasped the mindset yet, but with some time to reflect and my guidance, it won't be difficult for them—"
"As for immortality, that's even easier. Basically, you just need to meet some other basic requirements, and most importantly, comprehend one of the lower-level laws. This is something you usually don't pay attention to, since for you, comprehending the two higher-level laws is the core! The lower-level laws are too easy—"
Faced with Zhou Ze's eloquent speech, Luo Feng and the others sensed something was amiss and began to complain:
"I remember Babata telling me that there's only one universe-level immortal in a galaxy, one domain lord in dozens of galaxies, and one world lord in a thousand galaxies. Immortals are even rarer. Even among the core members of our Virtual Universe Company, less than 5% have broken through to immortality. How come, in your words, breaking through to immortality seems so easy?"
"Yeah, but when the teacher says it like that, it doesn't seem that difficult to me at all..."
"It seems that breaking through to immortality isn't difficult; the difficulty lies in the fact that even after we break through to immortality, we're just ordinary immortals, while our teacher is directly comparable to being crowned a king!"
"Something's not right, something's not right. Now that you mention it, it makes me feel like breaking through to immortality is so easy. But even if it's not difficult, it'll still take a long time, right?"
After the discussion, Luo Feng and the others looked at Zhou Ze with doubt.
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "Actually, you're all right. Becoming an immortal is very difficult for ordinary people, but sometimes you've overlooked one point: you are the most outstanding geniuses selected from all of humanity and the 1008 universes!"
"Actually, for members of the Primordial Secret Realm and the Primal Secret Realm, and even members of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and most of the members of the Doomsday Secret Realm, breaking through to immortality isn't as difficult as those super beings say. After all, they are all peerless geniuses selected from countless people throughout the universe!"
"Don't be fooled by those higher-ups. Frankly, they're raising a breeding ground for evil. They don't need ordinary immortals; they need true powerhouses, those who can uphold their clan!"
"So, under each of these mechanisms, how many people can actually live long enough to achieve immortality?"
"As Luo Feng just said, only 5% of the geniuses in each tournament survive to the end and break through to immortality; the majority die before they can do so."
Luo Feng and the others fell silent, then began to discuss amongst themselves:
"Yes, the vast majority of people don't even live to the peak of the Realm Lord level. Some have even died just after leaving Chaos City, with a hundred or two already dead. And that Venerable One said he hoped that more than five hundred of us would still be alive a hundred years from now."
"As long as you're alive, there's hope! The teacher was right—"
"What you say makes sense, teacher. Those of us who joined the company through the Genius Battle are basically able to break through to immortality by the end, unless there are other reasons, it's very difficult to break through to immortality—"
Zhou Ze nodded: "That's right. There is hope as long as you live. Of course, you can't be timid and afraid of death. Even if you break through to immortality, you won't become any strong people. After all, the higher the level, the higher the requirements are for willpower as the first core."
"Do what you can! After all, you've already joined the company. Whether you become a domain master and are subjugated, or a realm master and have to go to the outer battlefield, even if you do what you can, the dangers you'll encounter in your lives won't be much less."
So keep working hard, young men!
Zhou Ze chuckled.
Luo Feng and the others seemed to be deep in thought. Clark, remembering something, asked curiously:
"Teacher, you reached the peak of the Realm Lord level eighty years ago, so how come you're still the same as us? Weren't you sent out to other regions? Or did you go to the extraterritorial battlefield?"
Zhou Ze blinked: "You all say I'm special—"
"Who knows, I might even participate in the cosmic-level qualifying battle with you guys—"
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
"Wow!"
—”
The thought of a great immortal king participating in a cosmic-level qualifying battle alongside them made my head buzz.
Especially Tu Man and Lei Shen, who were originally confident of staying in the Primal Secret Realm, are now starting to wonder if they should just break through to the Domain Lord level directly—
Anyway, there's still some time before the Domain Lord-level qualification battle, and they're confident they can stay in the Primal Secret Realm by then. But the Cosmic-level qualification battle is coming soon, and if their teacher participates, at least one of them will be kicked out of the Primal Secret Realm.
Tu Man is currently wary of Thor's will attack, and Thor is also wary of Tu Man's self-created secret technique. Rather than that, it would be better to just break through to the Domain Lord level directly.
"—"
The two exchanged a knowing glance, seemingly understanding each other's thoughts.
