Ender curiously asked, "You want to join us?"
"Of course!" Fei answered honestly, "The small circle formed by you three is the one most members from the four Secret Realms want to join. After all, you and Kedi are in it."
Ender nodded. With him and Kedi, their small circle could indeed attract many people.
"I'm not just talking about Universe Level and Domain Master members, you know," Fei added.
"Hmm?" Ender was surprised. "There are even World Master Level core members who want to join us?"
"Yes," Fei nodded, answering in a clear and pleasant voice, "Of course, most of those World Master Level members who want to join you are from the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and the Last Phase Secret Realm. There are only a few World Masters from the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm."
"As for World Masters from the Primal Secret Realm, hmm..." Fei pondered for a moment, then said, "As a member of the Primal Secret Realm yourself, you know how good the treatment is for World Master Level members of the Primal Secret Realm."
"Indeed," Ender nodded slightly. The World Master members of the Primal Secret Realm receive excellent treatment.
Upon Breakthrough to World Master Level, one can receive 100 million points. Then, for the first time participating in the Secret Realm competition, one can also receive a large number of points based on their ranking.
If it weren't for the rules set by the Virtual Universe Company to prevent people from rapidly advancing from Universe Level directly to World Master Level, it's estimated that the number of World Master Level members in the Primal Secret Realm would far exceed the quota of 100.
100 million points is an exaggerated number, far more than the net worth of an ordinary King Immortal.
One must know that the net worth of a King Immortal is often accumulated over countless years. The fact that Primal Secret Realm members can receive so many points upon Breakthrough to World Master Level is enough to show how exaggerated the treatment is.
"World Masters of the Primal Secret Realm have good treatment and higher future achievements. They might be willing to join your circle, but they won't explicitly say so."
Fei sighed lightly, "The treatment for World Masters of the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm is a bit worse than that of the Primal Secret Realm, but most are mindful of their status and won't express it directly. However, the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and the Last Phase Secret Realm are different, especially the latter."
Ender also knew the treatment of World Masters in the Last Phase Secret Realm. The World Master guards for members of the Primal Secret Realm and the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm often came from the Last Phase Secret Realm.
Furthermore, the 'Your Highness' title for core members of the Virtual Universe Company is exclusively for members of the top three Secret Realms; members of the Last Phase Secret Realm are not included.
From these various treatments, one can infer the treatment of Last Phase Secret Realm members. After all, even World Masters become guards for the top two Secret Realms.
Although Ender and the others were surprised that World Masters wanted to join their small circle, they would not accept them, because this small circle was merely a gathering of friends. If those World Masters were accepted, the nature of the circle would change.
"It's not impossible for you to join," Ender said. "But I need to discuss it with Kedi and Manle. I'll let you know the result."
Ender was not opposed to Fei's application to join their small circle. Fei was from the same Pinnacle Genius Battle as them and was one of the top four.
Moreover, Ender and Kedi had previously discussed considering Manle's feelings and whether to admit new members. However, both of them were not good at socializing, so they dropped the idea.
Now, with Fei actively applying to join them, he started to consider accepting her, but the specific outcome still needed to be discussed.
"Then I'll wait for your good news." Fei smiled brightly, then bid farewell and no longer disturbed Ender.
Watching Fei leave, Ender continued to close his eyes and rest. Soon after, a sense of spatial distortion came, and the Universe spaceship had passed through the spatial tunnel and entered the Beginning Universe... Beginning Universe.
Spatial cracks continuously appeared in the sky, and streaks of Law secret patterns manifested, repairing the spatial cracks where chaotic airflow emerged.
A fish-shaped Universe spaceship emerged from the spatial tunnel and headed straight for the ancient and majestic city on the vast land.
The fish-shaped spaceship arrived above Primal Chaos City. With a "hiss," the hatch opened, and figures flew out from within.
Not far outside the spaceship hatch, a black-robed reception envoy was waiting. After everyone had emerged, he transmitted, "I am the Primal Chaos City reception envoy. If you are not visiting Primal Chaos City for the first time, you may leave directly."
"If this is your first time in Primal Chaos City, then you may come to me, and I will introduce Primal Chaos City to you in detail."
Ender had already visited Primal Chaos City once, so he naturally didn't need to listen to the black-robed reception envoy's introduction and prepared to leave.
Fei, on the other hand, was a step faster. It seemed she already knew what the black-robed reception envoy was going to say. When she saw Ender, she nodded slightly in acknowledgment and continued to fly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Watching Fei fly towards the City Lord's Mansion, Ender was not surprised, because unlike him, she did not have permanent residency in Primal Chaos City at the Domain Master. Her presence in Primal Chaos City could only mean she was here to comprehend the Primal Chaos Tablet.
Ender took a look. Among the crowd who came to Primal Chaos City this time, except for a few who were visiting for the first time, the rest were flying towards the City Lord's Mansion, apparently also here to comprehend the Primal Chaos Tablet.
Without lingering in the sky, he flew towards another direction, his destination an ancient and tall mansion... Soon.
Ender landed on the street in front of that ancient and tall mansion, not far from its main gate, where he could see two Immortals guarding the entrance.
Upon seeing Ender's arrival, the two Immortal guards did not obstruct him but respectfully bowed, saying, "Your Highness Ender."
Ender said nothing, merely nodding slightly, and entered the mansion directly.
Walking through the secluded mansion, he soon arrived at the entrance of a garden. Before entering, he saw Ice Summit Master, with his silver hair, wearing ancient, mottled armor, and exuding a cold aura.
"Teacher."
Entering the garden, Ender respectfully bowed.
Ice Summit Master said, "This time you're in Primal Chaos City, just focus on your Cultivation here. Only after you Breakthrough to World Master Level should you go out and explore."
"Yes," Ender replied.
"You are currently mainly comprehending the Space Origin Law. The rooftops of several residences are suitable for you to engrave on," Ice Summit Master said, then told Ender the coordinates of the residences.
Finally, he said, "Well, if there's nothing else, you can go find a residence and settle down."
"Disciple dares to ask for the fourth layer of the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body," Ender respectfully requested.
"You want the fourth layer of the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body..." Ice Summit Master's expression shifted slightly, and he asked, "Have you Cultivated the third layer to Major Achievement?"
"Replying to Teacher, Disciple has already Cultivated the third layer to Major Achievement," Ender answered.
Ice Summit Master said, "Since you have Cultivated the third layer of the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body to Major Achievement, I will impart the fourth layer to you."
"Thank you, Teacher," Ender respectfully bowed.
"Alright, go," Ice Summit Master nodded slightly.
"Yes, Disciple takes his leave."
Ender bowed and retreated, quickly leaving the garden.
After watching Ender leave the garden, Ice Summit Master then murmured, "To Cultivate the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body to the third layer Major Achievement in just a few hundred years, this progress is too fast, abnormally fast."
"The Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body is a very peculiar Secret Technique. Although it's an amplification Secret Technique, it cannot be stacked with other Secret Techniques. Even my Cultivation progresses slowly, yet he has effortlessly Cultivated it to the third layer Major Achievement."
Amplification Secret Techniques can normally be stacked, but this stacking is not linear, and the upper limit of amplification is 100 times.
Ice Summit Master speculated, "This amplification Secret Technique, like his Legacy crystal, also comes from Flowing Overlapping Mountains, one of the three Dangerous Lands. Could it be related to the Ancient Inheritance he obtained?"
Ender obtained a Legacy crystal from Flowing Overlapping Mountains, and his Cultivation of the amplification Secret Technique progressed at an astonishing speed. This naturally led people to connect the two... Leaving his teacher's mansion, Ender flew towards the nearest of the residences his teacher mentioned.
While on his way to the residence, a portion of his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe. In the study of his Primal Secret Realm manor, he saw the newly acquired Secret Technique book.
"The fourth layer of the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body."
Ender opened the metal book, several tens of centimeters high, in front of him. The first page detailed the effects after successfully Cultivating the fourth layer.
The fourth layer of the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body, when Cultivated to Major Achievement, can amplify by 30 times, and the Ru Yi Secret Technique can shrink a maximum of 10,000 times.
Seeing the terrifying effects of the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body, Ender's heart was filled with joy. "30 times body amplification, and it can shrink up to 10,000 times!"
"I will strive to Cultivate the fourth layer of the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body as quickly as possible."
Ender muttered, "As long as I succeed in Cultivation, there will be no need for the No. 1 branch to remain in Primal Chaos City. It can be re-nurtured using the Gu Yu Ancient Tree still in the Primal Secret Realm."
As long as he could successfully Cultivate the fourth layer, he would be able to shrink his body to a normal size, rendering the Universe Level First Order No. 1 branch useless.
Moreover, his human main body, with the Blood River Power, would have a faster Law comprehension speed than the Universe Level branch, which could significantly boost his Law comprehension speed.
Ender read carefully. With his processing speed, faster than a supercomputer, he had a general understanding of the entire Secret Technique book while on his way to the residence... Primal Chaos City, North of the City.
In front of a residence about 4 kilometers from the City Lord's Mansion, Ender saw the display board indicating that no one was currently residing there. He then proceeded to connect through his personal terminal and obtained the right to reside in the residence.
Upon entering the residence, Ender did not rush to the patterns carved on the rooftop. Instead, he first tidied up the meditation room, then went to the rooftop to plant the No. 1 branch to comprehend the Law secret patterns in the sky.
After completing all of this, he returned to the meditation room and sat down cross-legged.
Inside his World Ring, Ender's true body also sat cross-legged, surrounded by numerous beast god statues carved from stone.
Due to the excellent craftsmanship, these beast god statues all exuded a faint pressure, but unfortunately, very few of them possessed a trace of aristic conception.
Compared to his true body, which was over 10 kilometers tall, the surrounding beast god statues appeared very small; the tallest beast god statue only reached his calf.
Sitting amidst the numerous beast god statues, Ender began to Cultivate the fourth layer of the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body... Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, more than three years passed.
Due to the different flow of time, one year in the Beginning Universe is equivalent to more than three years in the Original Universe.
And Ender spent more than three years Cultivating the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body this time, which is equivalent to ten years in the Original Universe.
"Hoo!"
He opened his eyes and let out a long breath, a wide smile on his face. "The fourth layer of the Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body is complete."
"The Cultivation difficulty of the fourth layer is far higher than the third layer," Ender muttered. "I only spent a little over three months Cultivating the third layer, but it took me over three years for the fourth layer."
"It was difficult, but fortunately, I succeeded in Cultivating it," he said, eager to try. "Now, let's test the effect."
Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body!
Ender performed the Secret Technique, and his body rapidly shrunk. His body, a little over 10 kilometers tall, instantly shrunk to just over two meters.
"It feels a bit uncomfortable."
He carefully felt his body; it was as if his muscles and bones were being squeezed, causing him considerable discomfort.
"When I shrunk 100 times before, my body only adapted slightly. The current squeezing sensation is too strong," Ender frowned slightly. "It seems I need to adapt for a while longer."
To adapt his body, he began carving beast god statues again, but this time, due to his body's discomfort, the carving of the beast god statues failed multiple times.
Helpless, he had to stop and rest, spending several more days before his body finally adapted.
"Hmm... The last time I tested my body's toughness, I used my true body. This time, I'll try it in my current form."
Ender used his Spiritual Force to manipulate a third-tier weapon, stabbing it towards his exposed palm, using a force intensity of Universe Level Ninth Order.
Squeak!
Using a third-tier weapon with Universe Level Ninth Order strength to stab, the sharp sword tip seemed to encounter higher-grade leather, only leaving tiny white dots on it.
"My skin is a bit tougher than the last test. I'll add more force."
This time, Ender activated the secret patterns on the third-tier weapon, causing the sword-shaped weapon to flicker with a strong green light, clearly indicating that the secret patterns were activated to their extreme.
He thrust it fiercely towards his palm, still using Universe Level Ninth Order strength.
Hiss!
With the secret patterns activated, the tip of the third-tier sword-shaped weapon barely pierced the skin, but that was all it did. Not even a drop of blood seeped out from beneath the skin.
"Overall defense is much stronger than before! After the body undergoes ten thousand times compression, its density is terrifyingly high!"
Ender was shocked; his body's defensive capabilities had improved too much.
With his current body defense, he could truly withstand attacks from ordinary Universe Level individuals. If one considered the terrifying recovery ability of the Source of Life, he could almost ignore the attacks of any Universe Level individual, unless they were a Genius.
"I am currently at Domain Master. If I were to become a World Master, and my physical attributes were further strengthened, I'm afraid even an ordinary Domain Master would find it difficult to harm me."
After looking to the future, he felt puzzled again, "Why is my body's toughness so high?"
"Blood River Crystal is a treasure of the Beast God. Fusing with Blood River Crystal is an evolution towards the Beast God's body, which indeed enhances my physical attributes."
Ender pondered, muttering, "Besides the Blood River Crystal, shrinking the body by ten thousand times can increase body density, but it shouldn't reach such a terrifying level."
"Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method?" he thought to himself. "This Secret Technique is to elevate the Life Gene Energy level, and the Life Gene Energy is an all-around improvement, whether it's Spiritual Force or Gene Energy, or even the Immortal Divine Power after becoming an Immortal."
"If nothing unexpected, my body's defensive capability being so terrifying should be due to this Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method."
"Body Refining?" Ender was astonished. "Could it be that this Secret Technique can truly refine the body?!"
