In the world of "Covering the Sky": An Analysis of the Ancient Sacred Body at the Start

Chapter 124 Battle of Geniuses

"At the peak of the first level of the Sendai Secret Realm, according to the standards of the Shrouding the Heavens world, I am now a half-step Great Power!"

On the rooftop of his cultivation residence, Yu Yi slowly opened his eyes. Unbeknownst to him, a year had passed.

The time flow in Chaos City is one to three times that of the original universe; one year in Chaos City is equivalent to three years in the outside world.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to return to the world of Shrouding the Heavens and undergo tribulation to break through to the second level of the Immortal Platform Secret Realm —"

In fact, two months ago, Yu Yi had already broken through to the ninth level of the first level of the Sendai Secret Realm. He was just waiting to return to Zhetian to undergo tribulation so that he could break through to the second level of the Sendai Secret Realm.

However, now that he was in Chaos City, Yu Yi dared not cross over rashly, for fear of being discovered by the Lord of Chaos City.

During the thirty years in Chaos City, one can choose to go out, but this is usually not the mainstream choice.

Because most martial artists choose to stay in Chaos City, utilizing its abundant resources and safe environment for cultivation and challenges.

In fact, everyone is so busy trying to stretch every minute into two, that they have no time to go out.

[Owner: Yu Yi]

[Realm: First Level, Ninth Heaven of the Sendai Secret Realm]

[Constitution: Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Heavens Imperial Scripture]

[Life-Giving Artifact: Yin-Yang Mirror]

[Source energy: 37546874]

"The energy reserves are almost at 40 million —"

Although Yu Yi did not leave the Devouring Universe, as long as the incense offerings for the statue were full, Fan Xian and the others would send the statue to him through the chat group.

"Master, just now, the Virtual Universe Company released the announcement for the Peak Genius Battle—"

Serena's voice rang out, and just like in the original story, the Virtual Universe Company still chose March 9, 2066, to hold the Peak Genius Battle.

Clearly, the plot of Swallowing the Stars did not change because of the appearance of Yu Yi, the little butterfly.

Yu Yi logged into the virtual universe, which also has day and night cycles; it was currently nighttime.

The sky is filled with stars, which, on the surface, are almost indistinguishable from the real universe.

An enormous notice hung in the sky, with glowing characters written on it.

"A Battle of Ultimate Geniuses Among Humans from Across the Universe!"

"Once in a million years!"

"Coming soon!"

"This ultimate battle of geniuses is jointly hosted by Virtual Universe Company and all the universe nations —"

"For more details, please visit the official website of Virtual Universe Company through the virtual assistant."

Throughout the entire virtual universe, the same notice appeared in the night sky on every continent representing a high-level cosmic nation and every island representing a middle-level nation.

The banner spans over a million kilometers in length and width, and can be clearly seen by simply looking up, as long as you are in the virtual universe.

In just a few moments, the news spread throughout the entire universe at an astonishing speed.

Yu Yi logged into the official website of Virtual Universe Company and opened the Peak Genius Battle section, which detailed various precautions for the Peak Genius Battle.

The Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses is open to all Star-level humans; anyone who is a Star-level human can register.

The Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses is held once every five thousand years and twice every ten thousand years, hosted alternately by the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena.

The Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses is divided into the Universe Nation Selection Tournament and the Ultimate Finals. The selection tournaments are held in various universe nations to select elites to participate in the finals.

The top 1,000 finalists will receive generous rewards, ranging from 10,000 to 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units, depending on their ranking.

Secondly, it grants the opportunity to enter the initial universe, and thirdly, it allows one to become a core member of the virtual universe company.

After exiting the virtual universe, Yu Yi logged into the chat group, which was bustling with activity as everyone discussed the Peak Genius Battle.

[Luo Feng: This is insane! In less than a minute, over two billion people have already registered.]

[Luo Feng: This is only the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. There are a total of 1008 human-controlled universe kingdoms.]

[Fan Xian: Congratulations, Luo Feng! The battle of geniuses has begun. It seems you're about to soar to great heights.]

[Ye Fan: What a pity. If only I could travel through and devour the universe, and fight against countless geniuses within it, just thinking about it makes my blood boil.]

[Ye Fan: Is anyone willing to be a guinea pig, to travel through time and try to devour the universe? Let's see if we'll be targeted by the will of the primordial universe?]

[Yu Yi: If anyone is willing to try, I will reward them with 100,000 units of cultivation resources.]

Yu Yi also wanted to know if the group members would be targeted by the original universe's will after they traveled through and devoured the universe.

[Xu Fengnian: Transmigrating and devouring the universe is too risky. If I'm targeted by the original universe's will, I might end up being suppressed like the Primordial Ancestor.]

[Fan Xian: I want the resources, but I don't want to risk my life. Help me think of a solution —]

[Yang Shen: Why don't I try traversing and devouring the universe? Anyway, there's a chat group. As long as I'm not instantly suppressed, I should still have a chance to escape.]

[Yang Shen: I've already bought the time-travel talisman. Luo Feng, please approve it. Everyone, wait for my news.]

Ye Fan only granted access to administrators; ordinary members who wanted to travel to the worlds of other group members had to obtain the consent of those group members.

The chat group was quiet as everyone waited for the result. A few minutes later, Yang Shen logged on again.

[Yang Shen: Transmigrating to the Devouring Universe will indeed make me a target of the primordial universe's will. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I would have been suppressed just now.]

Upon transmigrating to the Devouring Universe, Yang Shen felt as if the entire primordial universe was rejecting him, as if he were being watched by some terrifying being.

[Luo Feng: Uh~ I didn't even have time to react before I saw a figure flash by————]

[Fan Xian: It seems that traversing and devouring the universe is impossible. Perhaps we can only traverse it if my brother or Luo Feng enters the cosmic sea in the future.]

[Ye Fan: Senior, I've broken through to the Sendai Secret Realm. When do you plan to return to the Shrouding the Heavens Universe? Let's explore the Kunlun Immortal Ascension Ground together.]

Ye Fan had already collected all the maps of Kunlun Mountain, but because his cultivation level was too low, he had never dared to explore them. Now that he had broken through to the Sendai Secret Realm, he could no longer hold back.

However, Ye Fan felt that exploring the land of immortality alone was a bit too risky, since in the original novel, he only went to explore the land of immortality after he had severed his Dao at the third level of immortality.

[Yu Yi: I am about to break through to the second level of the Sendai Secret Realm and should return to the Shrouding the Heavens Universe soon.]

[Yu Yi: As for exploring the Kunlun Immortal Ascension Ground, we can discuss that again when I return.]

Yu Yi was naturally very interested in Kunlun Immortal Land, which contained many treasures, rare and precious items, and ancient medicinal herbs and spiritual plants.

He also possesses a White Tiger Immortal Elixir, a Divine Mark Purple Gold Pagoda, and fragments of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron. Once he breaks through to the second level of the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, he will definitely return to Earth.

[Fan Xian: You two, don't hog all the food! How can you explore the Immortal Ascension Land without me?]

[Fan Xian: Ye Fan, the map of the Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land, we collected it together —]

Ye Fan: Okay! I'll call you then.
