Chapter 23 The Excited King of Qianwu Kingdom!
"The Time Fruit?"
Li Yang held it to his nose and smelled it, but there was no smell at all.
The surface of the fruit has silver-white lines of the laws of time. Simply looking at those lines can guide a realm master to the beginning of a higher level of the laws!
I ate too fast in the simulator and didn't even taste anything.
This time, he took a small bite first, followed by a second, until he swallowed the pit whole. A buzzing sound emanated from his mind, and his eyes, which were gazing at the simulation of the laws of time, instantly became clear.
The effect was exactly the same. Li Yang dared not waste any time. Taking advantage of the fact that he had just left Chaos City, he frantically absorbed the mysteries of the fourth essence of the law of time.
wow——
There are 108 kinds of the essence of the laws of time. Each essence is further divided into 108 mysteries. At this moment, the 108 mysteries of the fourth essence have transformed into a huge diagram, which is suspended in Li Yang's sea of consciousness.
The clarity is comparable to cultivating in Chaos City!
.........
Time is mysterious, flowing like water; a little immersion in it takes three years.
Three years later, Time Island was no different from before.
Although the controversy caused by Li Yang has long since subsided, the topic of conversation among the island's elites and geniuses at their private gatherings remains the same: speculating whether Li Yang can become the king's disciple.
Time Manor.
A welcoming banquet is being held at an elegant manor.
"Congratulations, Fourteenth Prince, on joining Time Island!"
For Dongbo Shan, as the 'leading figure' of the younger generation on Time Island, to personally accompany the other party, the other party was naturally not a prince of a middle-level civilization empire, but the fourteenth prince of the current emperor of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
The prince, 'Witch Awakening,' dressed in a dark gold witch's robe and exuding nobility, thoroughly enjoyed this gathering of elites, especially the feeling of being surrounded by people.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so reserved!" Wu Qi's gaze swept over the crowd, pausing slightly when it passed over Tai Yan, who had a curvaceous figure and a charming look in her eyes.
He paused, then continued, "Don't take my identity seriously. We're all members of Time Island. There's no need to follow those royal rules, and don't keep calling me 'Prince' or 'Your Highness'."
Upon hearing this, Dongbo Shan was slightly taken aback, inwardly cursing the other party as a fool. If you really don't care about the rules, then don't say it! Nobody cares about your status as a prince anyway.
"I've long heard that His Highness is approachable, and seeing him today confirms it. I toast you with this cup!" The naive Canaan had become noticeably more worldly-wise since his defeat at the gambling arena.
"We're all on the same side, no need to be so formal. I'll also toast you!"
Wu Qi's smile deepened.
He liked people who knew the rules, and added, "I've heard that Brother Canaan is one of the top geniuses on Time Island, second only to that... Li Yang!"
Upon hearing the name Li Yang, Taiyan, who was sitting not far away, had a flicker in her eyes.
Ever since she witnessed the extraordinary talents like Li Yang, her standards have risen higher and higher, and she can't even muster the slightest interest in the newly arrived Fourteenth Prince.
"Li Yang?" Canaan suppressed his resentment and deliberately said, "By the way, why didn't I see Brother Li Yang today? I sent him an invitation and specifically told him that His Highness the Prince was coming in person!"
"I'm hosting a party today, is it any of your business to notify me?"
A hint of disgust flashed in Dongbo Shan's eyes.
Everyone knows that Li Yang is currently in seclusion, and there are rumors that the king intends to take him as a disciple, so he must have set extremely difficult requirements for Li Yang.
How could such a momentous matter as becoming a disciple of the king be delayed because of personal relationships?
Most importantly, he set up the scheme, and Canaan stirred up trouble. What if Li Yang holds him responsible for all of this?
"Your Highness, Li Yang is a genius valued by the King, and his cultivation tasks are arduous, so I did not invite him," Dongboshan said frankly.
"Dongbo, you can't say that!"
Wu Qi's gaze swept over Tai Yan again, and finding that the other party's eyes were not on him at all, he decided to show his noble status once more.
"Since we're all members of the same island, it's normal for us to invite each other. However, while Li Yang is undoubtedly a genius, it's hard to say whether the king will take notice of him and intend to accept him as a disciple!"
The thirteen divine generals of Qianwu Mountain were old friends of my father. I was in charge of receiving them. I heard that to become a disciple of the ruler, one had to be a genius who appeared only once every ten thousand epochs. Li Yang was still quite far from that level.
His words were filled with references to the emperor of the Qianwu Kingdom, members of the royal family, and divine generals, highlighting his status and access to information.
Dongbo Shan was too lazy to pay attention to him. If it weren't for his friend's instructions, he really wouldn't want to entertain this good-for-nothing prince.
"Hmm?" Taiyan's gaze remained fixed on Li Yang's villa on the hillside, but unfortunately, there were guards stationed outside the villa, and the clouds and mist obscured the view, so she couldn't see anything at all.
At this moment, two streaks of light suddenly appeared.
Taiyan exclaimed in surprise, "Look, it's Lord Mingguang!"
"Lord Mingguang went to Li Yang's villa on the hillside, and the person next to him also seems to be an immortal deity."
The two figures did not conceal their auras. Many geniuses knew of Marquis Mingguang, after all, he was one of the two leaders of the eight islands.
Moreover, he is a master of the Time Law system and occasionally comes to Time Island to give classes, so many geniuses on the island have met this great figure.
"That man next to you seems to be one of the Thirteen Divine Generals His Highness mentioned. Would Your Highness like to go and say hello?"
Dongboshan's gaze held amusement.
"The Thirteen Divine Generals are busy with their affairs, so I won't bother them!" Wu Qi's lips twitched, and he even avoided looking at the area where the Thirteen Divine Generals were, afraid that the important person would hear what he had just said.
The so-called reception was nothing more than serving tea and water at the table; they weren't even qualified to sit at the table themselves.
With nowhere to look, he could only stare intently at Canaan, cursing inwardly for this idiot who had to bring up Li Yang of all people!
Taiyan paid no attention to these power struggles; her thoughts had already drifted to the villa halfway up the mountain. For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with the villa, as if she had visited it before.
........
The villas on the hillside were shrouded in mist as the clouds dispersed.
Li Yang had already stepped out of the villa and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Mingguang!"
"From now on, you don't need to call me 'Sir' anymore; just call me Marquis Mingguang."
Marquis Mingguang's face was full of smiles, for Li Yang had once again delivered a tremendous achievement.
The king set a 60-year deadline for Li Yang—to understand the essence of the second law of time.
In such a short time, Marquis Mingguang had no hope at all, but unexpectedly Li Yang really understood.
And it only took three years!
What does this mean?
As an immortal deity responsible for nurturing geniuses, I have only seen one in tens of thousands of epochs. That prince cultivated for dozens of epochs before breaking through to immortality and immediately possessing the combat power of a peak Marquis.
After that, there was no further news. It is rumored that the prince, after being tempered by life and death, has become an immortal god who has been granted the title of king!
It's important to understand that none of the kings under his command are truly immortal deities of the highest rank. If Li Yang were to become an immortal deity of the highest rank in the future...
Thinking this, Marquis Mingguang became even more agitated.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is one of the Thirteen Divine Generals of Qianwu Mountain, the king's personal guards, whose strength is no less than mine."
"Greetings to the Thirteen Divine Generals!"
Li Yang slightly cupped his hands in greeting, glancing at General Thirteen with his eyes.
This is the first time I've met him in real life. We usually meet in the Genius Battle, and this guy seems to really like to put on a sour face!
"Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. The King is already waiting for you at Qianwu Mountain. Please follow me!" General Thirteen rarely showed a smile.
Because the king was very excited to learn that Li Yang had comprehended the second essence of the law of time in just three years, he was very excited in front of his guards.
Taking on a disciple is probably a done deal, so he naturally wants to build a good relationship with this prince beforehand.
Moreover, Li Yang glanced at me more than once just now. Could it be that His Highness has feelings for me?
