"One can imagine that if he can gain the Star Tower's recognition as his master, coupled with the aid of the secret manual, his future achievements will be absolutely unparalleled. His teacher's hatred will finally have a chance for revenge."

But his eyes still held a hint of worry.

After all, it is extremely difficult for the Star Tower to recognize a master. Even though the master is the creator of the Star Tower, it is still impossible to forcibly recognize a master.

The reason is simple: the most important thing for the Star Tower to recognize its master is the pure soul will, which cannot be influenced or swayed by any external force.

Moreover, the higher one's cultivation level, the longer the examination period will be, which means that only those peerless geniuses with lower cultivation levels have a chance of passing this test.

High cultivation level and profound realm can actually become an obstacle to recognizing a master.

Therefore, the reason why the two trial participants in history were one a realm lord and the other an immortal lies in this.

Luo Feng's path to recognizing a master was also extremely difficult.

The trial process, which lasted for more than 6,000 years, was divided into three stages.

Firstly, in the first two thousand years, he was struggling to stay afloat and was not in serious trouble yet.

Then, in 4900, Luo Feng's soul was on the verge of collapse. His pain reached its peak, his soul repeatedly shattered and barely reassembled, his body was covered in scabs, his consciousness repeatedly became blurred, and he was on the verge of giving up countless times.

It was his initial desire to protect his family that barely managed to pull him back.

Six thousand years later, he even wrote his will in despair.

Then, in the 6092nd year, under extreme pain, Luo Feng's original heart never died. His own soul fluctuations resonated and merged completely with the core tower bead of the Star Tower, and only then did Luo Feng complete the test and become the master of the Star Tower.

In the blink of an eye, two thousand years have passed quietly, as if nothing had ever happened. Lu Qingzhou's expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest sign of pain.

This secretly shocked Puti, who realized that two thousand years had passed without any change.

But what follows is the most difficult part of the Star Tower Trial!

Indeed, after two thousand years, the level of suffering suddenly intensified.

Previously, Lu Qingzhou could easily comprehend the [Nine Tribulations Secret Manual], as well as the Great Dao of Time and Space and the Dao of the Beast God.

However, more than two thousand years later, his thinking speed was affected by the pain.

However, it was only an effect. Because of his perfect genes and the experience and cultivation he had accumulated over several lifetimes, his tolerance for this kind of pain was incomparable to Luo Feng's.

In the blink of an eye, the 4900-year-old barrier has quietly passed, and he remains as steady as Mount Tai.

The truly intense pain appeared six thousand years later because Lu Qingzhou's perception of pain had finally reached a high level.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

With less than a hundred years left, just be patient and you can easily get through the Star Tower trial!

Puti, who was outside the area, was completely stunned.

Six thousand years! I never imagined that the Star Tower's test of consciousness would last for six thousand years!

It's worth noting that the first trial participant persisted for 2600 years, and the second for 3300 years; they both believed they were close to success.

But now it seems they haven't even touched the deep waters of the test!

Until 6092, inside the Star Tower, in the thousands of forbidden spaces, the immortal beings from all over the universe were suddenly shocked.

The vast forbidden space trembled, and at the same time, the Star Tower, which was nine light-years high, trembled slightly. However, because it was surrounded by endless 'Nine-Spiral Nebula', it was difficult to discern. The alien immortals in the countless forbidden spaces inside the tower had no idea what was happening.

Meanwhile, on the throne within a solitary palace, a towering old man, over 90,000 kilometers tall, suddenly perked up: "It's done! The foundation of the Star Tower has been recognized as its master! And it's my acknowledged third disciple, Lu Qingzhou? Excellent, excellent, wonderful!"

The old man took a step forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot!

...............

"It's a success! It actually worked!" The old man Puti was shocked, followed by extreme joy!

It's done! Someone actually did it!

In particular, Lu Qingzhou still appeared completely at ease, and had not exhausted his willpower due to the trials that had lasted for over six thousand years.

This shows just how terrifying his willpower was!

It's no wonder, though. He was directly chosen by his teacher as the third disciple, a unique talent across countless reincarnations, a peerless genius who could cultivate his genes to perfection at the realm master stage. It's very possible that he could succeed!

Just then, a huge beam of light descended, transforming into a majestic and imposing figure, estimated to be over 900 meters tall. He wore seemingly ordinary blue armor, with transparent horns on his forehead, and was looking down at me with a smile.

His aura enveloped the entire hall, and Lu Qingzhou felt a sense of comfort under this boundless aura.

Clearly, this was not a pressure, but a life force, a life force that surpassed even the Lord of the Universe. Moreover, wherever this force reached, even the fundamental laws of the universe were isolated!

This power, which makes even the fundamental laws of the universe retreat, belongs exclusively to the strongest beings in the universe!

"Disciple Lu Qingzhou greets Master!" Lu Qingzhou said respectfully, bowing.

"Hahaha, congratulations! From this moment on, you are the leader of the Earth lineage and are qualified to be among the super strong in the universe!" The majestic old man's voice boomed, penetrating directly into Lu Qingzhou's heart.

Puti, standing to the side, also smiled and said, "Congratulations, Third Junior Brother!"

At this moment, the Mountain Guest was also filled with joy, and then he began to talk about the many past events of the Yan God Clan and Earth, as well as his own work on refining the Star Tower.

"You have passed the test and are now the master of the Star Tower, as well as my disciple. However, I have my own rules for teaching disciples. I will provide my disciples with the best cultivation resources, but I will not teach any secret techniques, much less reverse time and resurrect dead disciples. Do you understand my intentions?"

Lu Qingzhou bowed and said, "Teacher's intention is to cultivate a truly powerful being, someone comparable to or even surpassing oneself."

The hermit laughed and said, "That's right, only those with no way back can reach the highest realm."

"Besides the Star Tower, I have also prepared a supreme treasure for you. However, this treasure is currently in the hands of your second senior brother and is called the Calamity Armor. When the time is right, you can go to the Flame God Clan and retrieve the Calamity Armor. As for when the time will be right, you can decide for yourself."

Lu Qingzhou knew that the Yan Emperor was arrogant and unruly, and that the Calamity Armor could produce 'Armor Beads', which in turn could produce soldier armor, general armor, king armor, and imperial armor, all of which were suitable for the Yan God Clan. The Yan Emperor was unwilling to give up his possession of it, and if he wanted to obtain it, he would have to fight a battle.

The right time will be when we can defeat Yan Di.

"Now you possess both perfect genes and a powerful soul will. Once you advance to immortality, you will be a perfect powerhouse."

Chapter 1093 Twenty Thousand Times the Gene, Breaking Through to Immortality!

Then, the mountain dweller pointed ahead, and countless floating water droplets began to condense into a boat out of thin air.

First, the bow is formed, and then it quickly extends towards the stern. Powerful energy gathers naturally to form a beautiful and elegant cruise ship that is more than ten kilometers long, exuding a powerful aura.

Lu Qingzhou was secretly astonished by the ability to create things out of thin air.

After boarding the ship, the Mountain Guest led Lu Qingzhou on a tour of the Star Tower to observe its secret patterns.

Although the mountain hermit did not explain or teach, Lu Qingzhou felt he benefited greatly just by watching, and many insights lingered in his mind.

Subsequently, the Mountain Guest also gifted Lu Qingzhou the Star Chart, which could be integrated into the Star-Sealing Technique.

With this star map, it can hold up to 100,000 sealing stars at the same time. Once activated, 100,000 sealing stars will attack, with terrifying power.

This star chart has clearly reached the level of a supreme treasure.

Finally, the Mountain Guest gave him some instructions, telling him to come and collect the Star Tower only after he had broken through to Immortality, otherwise, with his current strength, it would still be a bit insufficient.

Lu Qingzhou readily agreed.

His "path of survival" ended after he became immortal, but before that, he should keep a low profile. He could be unrestrained after he became invincible.

Finally, he also told Lu Qingzhou the coordinates of the remaining metal plates of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, but specifically instructed him that with his current strength, he could take the metal plates from Ice Prison Star or Craftsman God Star, but he would need to break through to Immortality before taking the remaining metal plates.

With the exact address of the Mountain Guest, Lu Qingzhou easily infiltrated the Ice Prison Star River Craftsman God Star, obtained two metal plates, and acquired the first five tribulations of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.

He wasn't in a hurry to cultivate. He had been away from Earth for thousands of years, and now that he had obtained everything he wanted, it was time to return to Earth.

Without the slightest delay, he immediately used the [Starlight Path] and returned to Earth along the causal lines.

The women were overjoyed to see him return, because no matter how much he cultivated and secluded himself before, he would often contact them in the virtual universe.

But this time, he left a message saying that he would be undergoing a trial in a secret realm for several thousand years, and then he completely disappeared without a trace, and six thousand years passed in an instant.

This brought tears of joy to all the women, who were finally able to reunite with Lu Qingzhou for several years before their longing for each other subsided.

There are a few other things worth mentioning, namely the cultivation levels of the women.

With the top-tier resources he left behind, as well as his cultivation insights, all the women reached the level of Realm Lord.

Moreover, because of their profound foundations, they are not ordinary realm lords; each one is an elite realm lord, far surpassing the likes of Hargrave and Jiang Tianchen.

After Lu Qingzhou reunited with the women, he gave them some more guidance. The women all felt something and their cultivation of the laws improved again. They all went into seclusion to cultivate.

With some free time, Lu Qingzhou finally began formally cultivating the [Nine Tribulations Secret Manual].

It must be said that the contents of this Nine Tribulations Secret Manual are indeed exceptionally profound, completely reconstructing the underlying understanding of the structure of life from a high-dimensional perspective.

Every word is worth pondering and reflecting upon, containing endless possibilities.

Time passed quietly. Aside from spending time with the women, Lu Qingzhou would occasionally visit Chaos City to meet the City Lord, seek inspiration, or obtain some inheritance at the Ancestral God Sect's inheritance site.

Before we knew it, nearly 20,000 years had passed.

On this day, Lu Qingzhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a great realization. In an instant, the clouds parted and the sun shone through, and the shackles that had been blocking his perfect genes suddenly collapsed.

His gene count also increased dramatically!

It went from 10081 times to 11000 times, then to 14000 times, and finally stopped at 2 times!

In the original novel, Luo Feng obtained the inheritance of Duan Donghe, which increased his gene multiplier to 20,000 times. Lu Qingzhou has achieved this without even breaking through to immortality!

This also means that at this moment, he possesses the combat power of a universe master!

Moreover, he is not just an ordinary universe lord, but a powerful one among universe lords.

Of course, there is still a gap between him and the top universe lords, such as the Chaos City Lord, but he has already managed to retreat unscathed.

"Even with the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, at the Realm Lord level, cultivating genes to twenty thousand times is the absolute limit. It's time to break through to Immortality."

However, he cannot break through on Earth, since the scope of the anomaly is too large.

So he decided to go to Chaos City and, under the protection of the Chaos City Lord, break through to the level of immortality!

Chaos City

Upon learning this, the Lord of Chaos City immediately showed a look of joy.

"Excellent, Qingzhou, you're finally about to break through!"

It should be noted that many of the geniuses in Lu Qingzhou's cohort have achieved immortality, such as Rong Jun and Bo Lan.

But Lu Qingzhou is still at the Realm Lord level!

Without knowing that Lu Qingzhou was the Candle Dragon King, it's somewhat unfair to call him the number one genius of the human race.

Now that he has broken through to immortality, he can prove himself!
