Chapter 4 Thunder Domain Bead! Breakthrough!
A thousand years later, in the virtual universe, the Starry Sky Dimension Dojo
"Lightning, when condensed, is like a twisted rope, fast to the extreme with no resistance; when it erupts, it is like a collapsing mountain, indestructible..." The laws of lightning simulated in the virtual universe were like paintbrushes in Gao Ya's hands, drawing easily understandable diagrams of these laws.
Buck, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, was suddenly surrounded by a faint shimmering light that spread from his fingertips to the ends of his hair, like a flowing silver veil.
In the blink of an eye, he was enveloped in a net of lightning.
The commotion startled the surrounding disciples.
"Buck has figured it out!"
Seeing Buck's condition, their eyes brimmed with envy, mixed with a hint of bitter disappointment.
boom!
Just as their gazes were drawn to Buck as if by a magnet, a pale blue lightning shield formed around Matt not far away.
"Matt has figured it out too!"
"The Gemini, those two, oh dear, how are we supposed to live?"
"The teacher will recruit contract disciples in the future, so we can just continue attending classes."
"With your wealth and extensive connections, obtaining a spot for initial universe comprehension at the World Lord level is naturally easy and no problem for you. But for ordinary World Lords like us, even if we had the chance to get this spot, we don't have the money to buy it."
"Yes, a single World Lord level spot costs 30,000 to 40,000 Hunyuan, while a contracted disciple has to pay 100,000 Hunyuan."
........
A moment later, Buck opened his eyes, the confusion he had felt upon arriving in Chaos City gone, replaced by a profound understanding as deep as the starry sky.
"Teacher Xie," he bowed deeply to the powerful figure on the platform, needing no words.
Gao Ya nodded slightly, and after Matt woke up, he said, "I have completed three sermons, and the master-disciple contract has automatically expired. If you wish to continue attending the lectures, you may register tomorrow in the public area of Chaos City."
"Remember, you must not use my name to commit crimes in the future, or I will personally kill you."
"Yes, teacher."
"Everyone, step back."
Teacher Xie
Gao Ya didn't say much. With the contract dissolved, his ties with many of those present were over, and they would have to walk their own paths from now on.
Chaos City
He left the mansion and went to the city lord's mansion.
Lord Starry Sky
Lord Starry Sky
He greeted everyone along the way, and stood before an ancient side hall.
"Boom!" The ancient palace gate slowly opened, and the bronze gate, which was about a hundred meters wide, was fully opened.
Gao Yamai stepped inside
Boom! The palace doors slammed shut once more.
The side hall was quite spacious, with a huge stone slab about 100 meters in diameter placed in the very center. Here, one could offer and exchange treasures.
He approached the stone slab and said, "Open the clan's treasure exchange list."
A gentle voice rang out in the hall.
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, a hazy, enormous gray form appeared in mid-air above the side hall, displaying four large categories: Treasures, Valuable Treasures, Materials, and Special Resources...
"Treasures" Gao Ya said.
Wow!
The forms have changed, and a large number of treasure exchange interfaces have appeared.
"Filter common heavy treasures with lightning attribute, sorted by price from highest to lowest."
"OK"
The form has changed again, becoming more intuitive and concise.
Thunder field bead, 8 treasure points
Razer website, 7.5 key points
Leishan, 6 treasure points
......
Thunderclap Sword, 2 Treasure Points
Azure Thunder Armor, 1.5 Treasure Points
Thunder Dragon Sword, 0.5 heavy treasure points
.......
Gao Ya looked around and found that ordinary heavy treasures only existed in melee combat, ranged attack, armor, sealing, domain, and special categories; palace and soul types were completely absent.
After studying the treasure, he said directly...
"Exchange for Thunder Domain Pearl"
The gentle voice rang out again: "King Xingyu, you have one free exchange opportunity. Do you wish to exchange for the Thunder Domain Pearl?"
"Yes," Gao Ya replied without the slightest hesitation.
The choice of weapon isn't important. As my comprehension improves, becoming a weapon refiner won't be too difficult. I can then tailor-make one specifically for myself.
Now people only choose the expensive ones, not the right ones.
"Boom—" The stone disc slowly revealed a passage leading to a bottomless abyss. Immediately afterwards, a treasure slowly flew up—a fist-sized, translucent, purplish-gold sphere, its interior shimmering with purplish-silver lightning.
"View detailed information about the Thunder Domain Bead"
"OK"
Wow!
A picture suddenly appeared on the screen in mid-air.
In the starry sky, countless thin strands of lightning formed a spherical region spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers; any target within this region would be attacked.
"The Thunder Domain Bead is a common powerful treasure of the lightning attribute domain type. It can be used by those who have become immortals in the realm of lightning laws. It can be used in conjunction with other law domains, increasing its power with each use."
"When activated, it can form a huge spherical region spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers, filled with lightning. Each bolt of lightning is weak, but when they come together, they can easily suppress a beginner Venerable and cause some interference to a mid-level Venerable. If the enemy is weak, it can directly annihilate the opponent with the Thunder Domain Pearl."
"If one becomes a cosmic sovereign through the law of time... because the law of time is a superior law to the laws of wind, thunder, light, and energy, the domain of the law of time can also be superimposed on this precious domain, increasing its power."
Gao Ya nodded: "If I were to fight the Nine Swords Venerable again, I should be able to withstand his seven-sword fusion with the Thunder Domain Pearl."
He infused a wisp of divine power into the Thunder Domain Bead, imprinting his life mark upon it. The bead quickly merged into his palm, causing a lightning rune to appear there.
"Done"
Gao Ya left the city lord's mansion and arrived at his new residence, which was just across the street.
He strolled around and found nothing different, except that it was ten times larger than the previous mansion.
Dong dong dong
There was a knock on the door.
"What's King Yanlong doing here?" A soul probe revealed him to be a prominent figure in Chaos City, the peak-level King-ranking King Yanlong, but they had absolutely no connection with him.
Gao Ya opened the door and saw Yanlong King bowing respectfully.
"Greetings, King Xingyu"
"No need for such formalities, Your Majesty. May I ask what brings you here?"
King Yanlong smiled and said, "I've come for two reasons: first, to congratulate King Xingyu on moving to his new residence, and second, to thank King Xingyu for nurturing two immortal powerhouses for our human race."
"immortal?"
"Yes, Star King, please look."
A beam of light shot from Yanlong King's left wrist, forming a virtual screen in mid-air like a projection, displaying scenes of the fundamental laws of lightning descending twice on the continent where the virtual universe company's headquarters was located.
Their targets were Matt and Buck, among Gao Ya's first batch of contracted disciples.
"This video has gone viral in Chaos City, and many Realm Lords in Chaos City are waiting for King Xingyu to take on another disciple."
Gao Ya shook his head slightly and said, "This is not my achievement; it's because these two are quite perceptive."
"King Xingyu is too modest," King Yanlong said, his tone full of sincere admiration.
Gao Ya didn't comment much on the matter, but stepped aside to let Yanlong Wang into the mansion.
"Please have a seat. I have three friends coming later."
"Xie Xingyu Wang"
Seeing that Gao Ya had accepted him, Yanlong Wang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this person was not averse to making friends.
Not long after, Gao Ya's three friends, Icebreaker King, Fire-Eye King, and Hammer King, arrived together.
Congratulations, Xingyu!
Congratulations, Xingyu!
"Congratulations"
"Thank you. Come, let me introduce you. This is someone you all know, the Dragon King Yanlong." Gao Ya led the three to the living room and introduced the Dragon King Yanlong to them.
The three men immediately became reserved and respectfully said, "Greetings, King Yanlong."
"The three of you don't need to be nervous, we're all friends," King Yanlong said in a gentle tone, like a kind older brother next door, putting no pressure on the three of them.
Gao Ya showed a satisfied look and introduced the three people to him in turn.
