Chapter 23 Three Years Passed in a Flash
In the boundless dark universe, the White Scale travels alone at three times the speed of light, like a speck of dust forgotten by time.
Inside the cabin, Rong Jun sat quietly, his eyes deep, thinking about the next plan.
Although the immediate crisis has been temporarily resolved, greater challenges still lurk ahead.
Since the aliens are willing to sacrifice their immortality to kill him, they will definitely not give up.
Rong Jun knew very well that only by constantly improving and strengthening himself could he prevent such things from happening again.
The scene just now happened once, and it was enough. He didn't want to experience it a second time.
You can't always rely on the Hunyuan Soul-Calming Bell, otherwise you will inevitably become lazy.
Pride and prejudice are the biggest obstacles to survival. The Great Axe fell because he was too ostentatious after obtaining the most powerful treasure. The past experience is a lesson for future generations.
"It will take at least three and a half years!" Rong Jun sighed in his heart. From the initial feeling that time was running out to now feeling that time was long, everything was changing. Even though he had a strong character, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
To the Devouring Universe, time is as worthless as running water, but to Rong Jun, every moment is actually extremely precious.
"Don't be impatient." He warned himself secretly.
Next, Ruolan will take him to the core area of Qianwu Universe. Even if the alien races are arrogant, they dare not directly attack Qianwu Universe.
Although he often jokingly called the Lord of Qianwu an old unlucky guy, he was a cosmic master after all. Unless the alien race also sent a cosmic master, but that was almost impossible.
An immortal suicide attack was enough to show that they valued him. How could the aliens mobilize the Lord of the Universe for a kid like him who had not yet reached the stellar level?
Unless they are certain that they can advance to become Overlord of the Universe or Lord of the Universe, they will never sacrifice the Lord of the Universe.
What's more, it is unknown whether there are slaves at the level of Cosmic Lords in the human territory.
After thinking it all through, Rong Jun decided to continue taking things step by step and improve himself without rushing or getting impatient.
Improving your strength is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires daily accumulation, either by occasional enlightenment or by pushing yourself to the limit in a life-and-death battle.
He knew that hastily advancing to the cosmic level just to avoid a possible attack and giving up the genius battle would undoubtedly be a matter of missing the forest for the trees.
At the same time, the mysterious and powerful treasure of Hunyuan Zhenhun Bell is also an existence that he cannot ignore. It seems to hide many secrets, so he needs to treat it with caution and never let the news leak out.
While exploring its mysteries, Rong Jun also longed to find out its true function.
The Hunyuan Soul-Calming Bell was quietly suspended deep inside Rong Jun's body, emitting a soft light.
With it, Rong Jun's soul seemed as solid as a rock, and with the help of the body tempering and soul nourishing secret diagrams, his soul strength and basic gene multiples were also steadily increasing.
However, this is just the beginning. Rong Jun knows that the road ahead is still long.
He must continue to explore and challenge himself constantly in order to gradually uncover the mystery of the Hunyuan Soul-Calming Bell.
Just as Rong Jun was thinking, the voice of the virtual intelligent assistant Xiao Ai broke his contemplation: "Master, get ready, your reincarnation battle is about to begin."
Rong Jun opened his eyes, quickly adjusted his state, and immersed himself in the virtual universe.
He has thought it through clearly. In the next reincarnation battle, there is no need to waste time on opponents of mediocre strength.
Although those ordinary people can occasionally burst out with brilliant light, the probability is really slim. He didn't know that he wasted too much time.
For opponents with limited abilities, he would give them appropriate tests based on their strength. If they could take his blow and survive, he would continue to fight. If they could not, he would quickly move on to the next opponent.
Years fly by, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, 1008 geniuses from each of the 1000 advanced universe countries were selected after more than three years.
Qianwu Universe, with its vast and boundless territory, brilliant stars, and numerous powerful people, was a place where Rong Jun's name rose like the sun, piercing through the clouds and mist and soaring into the sky. His reputation was so great in the battle of geniuses that it was known to everyone.
The other 1007 advanced cosmic countries also cast their eyes in concern.
Even many geniuses are extremely afraid of him!
Of course, not all geniuses are extremely afraid of Rong Jun. Only a few, such as Bolan, Long Yun, Ai Chen, Wu Ka, Jiang Mo, Qian Shui, Galasi, Luo Feng and others, are dissatisfied and even look forward to defeating Rong Jun.
After more than three years of hard work, Rong Jun constantly challenges himself and seeks breakthroughs in the genius battle held in the virtual universe.
He no longer entangled with opponents of mediocre strength, but instead focused on competing with geniuses who truly possessed strength and potential.
Every battle is not only a severe test of the opponent's strength and will, but also a valuable opportunity for him to continuously gain experience and improve himself.
All the players who fought against him were shocked and impressed by his powerful strength. Because no matter how powerful the opponent burst out, they were eventually defeated by Rong Jun's sword.
He could always end the battle with the simplest blow, and his strength was unfathomable.
After fighting with him, many players even longed to compete with him again, because Rong Jun could always easily inspire their potential and allow them to unleash unprecedented strength in battle.
Of course, some people think he is a devil and don't want to meet him again.
During this long period of training, Rong Jun's strength has been greatly improved.
The most intuitive manifestation is that Ruolan is no match for Rong Jun unless she uses her domain lord-level strength.
A lot has happened in the past three years. The good news is that a year ago he successfully comprehended one thousandth of the secret code for calming the soul, nourishing the soul, and tempering the body. The multiples of his soul and basic genes have been significantly improved, and his absolute strength has soared to 65 units, more than three times the initial state.
According to his calculations, by the time they reach Chaos City, they can reach one hundred units, which means absolute power!
However, the bad news is that his progress in the past year has been minimal. As the ciphertext becomes more and more complex, it has exceeded his current ability to comprehend at the stellar stage. He guessed that if he did not break through to the cosmic level, it would probably take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years before he could make another major breakthrough.
As for the mystery of the Hunyuan Soul-Calming Bell, although he was curious, he would not be foolish enough to risk his own death, so he still has not figured out whether it was a dream or time going back.
However, he vaguely felt that if he could comprehend one-tenth of the three ciphertext diagrams on the first level, he might gain something.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
On the day the competition ended, Rong Jun stared at the deep starry sky alone, his eyes firm, as if he could see into his future self.
"I miss the starry sky of my hometown!" Rong Jun said without thinking.
Xiao Nuonuo was stunned when she heard this, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. She didn't even know where her hometown was. Originally, the Savage Planet could be considered one, but...
As if realizing that he had said something wrong, Rong Jun rubbed his head awkwardly, not knowing how to comfort the other person for a moment.
"Silly uncle! If other people saw this, they would definitely not believe that this is the peerless genius they admire in their hearts!" Xiao Nuonuo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
