Chapter 204 Hong's Embarrassment

Chapter 204 Hong's Embarrassment

"That light just now must have been the ocean of laws descending when the Realm Lord broke through to Immortality—"

A hint of joy appeared on Hong's face as he looked towards the secret chamber: "Teacher, I've successfully broken through!"

When Hong came into contact with the universe, he was less than a hundred years old, but he had been following Luo for nearly two hundred years. Although he appeared cold on the outside, he was actually extremely sentimental.

Sincerity begets sincerity. Over the course of about two hundred years, Luo's complete sharing of knowledge with Hong naturally led Hong to regard Luo as one of the most important people in his life.

Luo was genuinely happy to break through to immortality.

Without a sound, a figure suddenly appeared beside Hong. This person was tall and thin, with a head full of pimples. It was Luo's good friend, Buka, an immortal god who was close to being granted the title of Marquis!

Luo and Hong lived in his house.

"Hong, congratulations on your teacher's breakthrough to Immortality!" Bu Qianka exclaimed with a smile, "And once your teacher breaks through to Immortality, he will definitely become a Marquis-level expert among the Immortals!"

"Luo, who created his own top-tier secret technique, would be considered an absolute powerhouse even among those who have achieved the highest rank of Marquis or Immortal!"

"After nearly ten million years, Luo has finally gotten what he wanted—"

Buka sighed, recalling how he had been amazed by Luo's talent and courage when they first met, but who would have thought that fate would play such a cruel trick on them.

Having seen through everything, Luo, after letting go, unexpectedly found himself trapped in a dangerous place, and for some unknown reason, was unable to break through—

However, everything is fine now.

After bowing, Hong Weiwei, the "Fortune Teller," also sighed, "Yes, Teacher, you were so full of vigor back then. I never imagined you'd be stuck like this until now, only now breaking through to immortality."

"Fortune Teller, Hong, what are you two talking about?"

A voice came from the secret room, and then the door opened, and Luo, with white hair, slowly walked out with a smile on his lips, his whole demeanor changed drastically.

That feeling of high spirits was just like it was back then.

"Teacher," Hong called out with a smile.

"Luo, congratulations! You've finally broken through to immortality! I told you you could do it!" Buka was genuinely happy for Luo.

"How does it feel to break through to immortality?"

Luo laughed heartily, "Excellent! Immortal gods are indeed far superior to realm lords!"

Bu Qianka laughed, "With your breakthrough to Immortality, you've become a Marquis, and an absolute powerhouse among them! I've already had a banquet prepared to celebrate your breakthrough. Let's have a proper celebration for you!"

"Thank you, fortune card!" Luo nodded and smiled.

Even though he is now much stronger than Buka, his old friend never looked down on him for being a realm lord, so he naturally wouldn't be arrogant in the slightest now.

The fortune teller seemed to sense that Luo had something to say to Hong, so he left the space to the master and apprentice.

Hong smiled slightly and said, "Teacher, congratulations on breaking through to immortality!"

Luo sincerely thanked him, saying, "Hong, thank you so much!"

Without Hong introducing him to the "Holy Master"—well, he should be called a teacher—it would have been almost impossible for him to comprehend the top-level secret techniques, let alone break through to immortality. But no matter how much gratitude he expressed, the words that came to his lips were condensed into this simple sentence.

"Teacher, you're too kind—" Hong laughed, "Well, I now have a powerful immortal god as my teacher."

Luo nodded. Neither of them were good with words; often, their feelings were understood intuitively.

"Hong, there's something I want to tell you—..."

Luo got straight to the point, and carefully used his divine power to shield the surroundings, looking at Hong earnestly as he said:

"I have already become a disciple of the 'Holy Master'!"

Even though Hong had some suspicions, he was still surprised to hear his teacher say it out loud.

"The teacher has already told me a lot about him and you," Luo said calmly.

Hong was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Teacher, congratulations! You know, Teacher Zhou has very high standards for accepting disciples these days, I never expected you to succeed!"

Given Hong's mindset, since the deed has already happened, there's nothing he can't accept.

Luo laughed and said, "Yes, luckily I mentioned becoming your disciple when we first met, and my teacher said I should wait until I break through to the Immortal realm—"

"Only with this promise can I become an apprentice—"

"However, I was still quite surprised just now—"

Hong smiled and nodded: "As for Teacher Zhou's existence, especially after not knowing about him before and then learning the truth, who could remain calm?"

"But teacher, you have to make it up to me. You made me drop two generations for no reason!" Hong joked with a smile.

"Don't worry, based on my interactions with the teacher over the years, we can discuss this separately! I'm not the kind of person who's easily swayed by external factors," Luo said with a smile, looking at Hong.

He naturally understood Hong's feelings.

"Can you tell me about the teacher? There are many things that you don't need to keep from me, right?" Luo smiled.

Hong said slightly embarrassedly, "Teacher, I didn't mean to hide it, it's just that Teacher Zhou's existence is too bizarre!"

"I understand—" Luo nodded and smiled.

Meanwhile, after attending the banquet in Xiaka, Luo sent an email to Zhou Ze.

After receiving Luo's email, Zhou Ze had Babata send out emails to everyone, asking them to come over.

Luo Feng and the others rushed to Zhou Ze's private island as soon as possible.

As soon as they appeared, Luo Feng and the others noticed a slightly unfamiliar face.

"Senior Luo, what brings you here?" Luo Feng asked instinctively. Thor was equally curious: "Senior Luo, it's been a long time—"

The two naturally recognized Luo. Back when they participated in the Genius Battle, Luo personally came to Nine Star Bay and took their eldest brother away.

This left them with a lot of resentment.

It's been about two hundred years, and they haven't met their elder brother Hong in real life.

The two glanced at Luo, then at Hong. Had something happened?

Hong's heart was filled with mixed feelings, but he still conveyed to the two of them with his eyes that they would find out soon enough.

During the chat, Tu Man, Clark, and Luo Hua, who had been somewhat "forgotten," also arrived. They looked at the white-haired old man with curiosity, though they naturally did not recognize him.

Normally, the group would have already started exchanging pleasantries, but with a stranger like Luo present, Luo Feng and the others didn't feel comfortable saying much.

"Come here, everyone." Zhou Ze's voice came softly to everyone's ears.

Luo Feng and the others flew familiarly to the rooftop of the tallest building. Hong glanced at his teacher, Luo.

Luo nodded slightly and flew over with Hong.

Zhou Ze looked at the assembled crowd and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but I don't plan to give a lecture this time."

"However, there is something very important I need to tell you..."

Luo Feng and the others pricked up their ears. In all their years, they had rarely encountered a situation where Zhou Ze had called them over when it wasn't a lecture.

Not to mention there was an outsider present, which is quite strange.

"I just accepted a new disciple."
