Chapter 95 ‘The Secret Realm of Death’ (3 updates)
Immortal Altar.
Above the altar, a series of numbers are displayed on the screen next to a human-shaped target.
33, 28, 35, 26, 37. The final score is: 26.
The final level of this test is the ‘body strength level’.
On the side, the Phantom King frowned slightly and said: "You need to practice controlling your body. Even a spiritual master cannot have too obvious physical weaknesses."
Obviously , she was not satisfied with Jiang Chen's performance this time.
However, the Phantom King immediately changed the topic and said: "Although your physical strength is very poor, your performance in terms of laws and will is very good, and the overall evaluation can reach 'excellent'. This Even if you pass the assessment "
"As long as you agree and sign this agreement, from today on, you will be a member of the "Death Secret Realm" of our universe mercenary alliance."
The Phantom King stretched out his hand. At one o'clock, an agreement appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
The content of the agreement is very complicated, but it can be summed up in a few sentences.
Jiang Chen, or his identity as 'Erso', became the core genius of the Universe Mercenary Alliance and received the treatment of a 'Death Secret Realm' level genius.
When 'Erso' grows up in the future, he will have to perform tasks assigned by the Space Mercenary Alliance, and he is not allowed to betray or change his family.
There are also some detailed terms, such as the basic treatment that Jiang Chen can receive. For example, every once in a while, the level of treatment will be adjusted based on Jiang Chen's performance, etc.
However, the ‘Death Secret Realm’ level genius is already the lowest level among the core geniuses, and there is no room for further decline.
If it drops further, he will be expelled from the secret realm and downgraded to an ordinary genius, and the agreement between the two parties will be re-signed.
The five major forces actually have similar restrictions on core geniuses.
Cultivate according to internal fixed standards. The more talented you are, the higher the resources and authority you will get.
Ordinary geniuses, even after they grow up, are just 'tools' to perform tasks.
At least you have to become immortal, and you have to be a strong one among the immortals in order to have a certain degree of autonomy.
Jiang Chen signed his name on the agreement without hesitation.
"As a member of the 'Death Secret Realm', you have a chance to enter the 'Initial Universe' and can get 10 Hunyuan units, which is a starting capital of ten trillion universe coins. This capital will be used as ' Points will be transferred to your account in the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and the treasure trove of core geniuses will also be open to you. You can use points to exchange for what you need at will."
"However, 'Initial Universe. 'It won't be opened easily, it has to be You can only enter after gathering a group of geniuses."
"Before heading to the initial universe, you will be sent to the alliance's headquarters, and from there you will head to the 'Secret Realm of Death'."
Fantasy. King Ling looked at Jiang Chen, He reminded: "Don't underestimate the role of points. Many of the treasures in the treasure house that can be exchanged for points are good things that you can't buy in the outside world no matter how much money you spend! You don't have many points, but you have to think clearly. Flower.”
"Yes, thank you Lord Phantom King for the reminder." Jiang Chen quickly agreed.
“I have given you permission to enter ‘Huanyu Island’ in the virtual universe. Your residence is in the ‘death zone’ of ‘Huanyu Island’. I have given you the illusionist The secret method will be sent to your residence later. If you can master the secret method before arriving at the alliance headquarters, you can become my registered disciple."
< br>The Phantom King waved his hand and ordered: "Don't leave the 'Black Dragon Star' recently. The alliance will send someone to pick you up and take you to the alliance headquarters. It is expected to arrive in a few days. Okay, you go down, and when will you become me?" I’ll give you the secret method and contact me again.”
“Yes, thank you Lord Phantom King.” Jiang Chen saluted again and left respectfully.
——
Huanyu Island, Death Zone.
In a room with three bedrooms and one living room, Jiang Chen's figure appeared.
"This place is really crowded." Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.
Compared with Virtual Universe Company's 'Primitive Zone' and 'Taichu Zone', the 'Death Zone' of the Universe Mercenary Alliance is undoubtedly very crowded.
Every genius lives in a set of rooms in a high-rise community on earth, with hundreds of people living in one building.
Facilities such as martial arts arenas are also public and are in public areas.
The only independent space is the study room.
But this is not because the Space Mercenary Alliance is stingy.
The five giants all treat core geniuses the same way. According to the level of the secret realm, geniuses are treated best in the top secret realm.
In the lowest level secret realm, the treatment of geniuses is much worse.
But even the worst ones have resources unimaginable to outside geniuses.
Although the accommodation is a bit crowded, things like the 'treasure trove of redeemable points', 'initial universe enlightenment quota', etc. are opportunities that ordinary geniuses simply cannot hope for.
Even if you are a child of a well-established family, if you cannot enter the core level of the five giants, it will be difficult to obtain an 'initial cosmic enlightenment quota'.
"The rules are similar to those of Virtual Universe Company. The five giants should be exactly the same in this regard."
Putting down the "Instructions for Geniuses in the Secret Realm of Death" in his hand, Jiang Chen muttered , turning his gaze to a book on the desk.
This book is the test given to Jiang Chen by the Phantom King, a secret method of the "Illusionist" lineage of spiritual masters.
On the cover, the words "Illusion God Transformation" are written in the universal language of the universe.
According to the Phantom King, this is a set of 'cosmic-level' spiritual master secrets, but it is extremely difficult to practice. Out of 10,000 spiritual masters, not even one may be able to successfully practice it.
The difference between the controller and the illusionist is not only reflected in the combat methods, but also in the 'characteristics' of mental power.
The controller's mental power is better at interfering with matter, controlling physical weapons, etc., while the illusionist's mental power is better at penetrating, attacking and defending at the soul and consciousness levels.
Of course, this is not absolute.
The controller can also practice illusions, and the illusionists can also activate telekinetic weapons to fight, but they are not as good at it.
The secret method of this "Illusion God Transformation" does not have any combat ability. Its only function is to change the 'characteristics' of mental power, and can switch between the characteristics of the controller and the illusionist at will.
The characteristics of Jiang Chen's body and the clone of 'Erso' are biased towards the 'controlling things' of the controller lineage, and are slightly weaker at the level of soul and consciousness. However, as long as you master this set of "Illusion God Transformation", the telekinesis characteristics can be switched and adjusted at will. When you need to control telepathy weapons, you switch to the spiritual telepathy of the controller. When you need to attack the soul or penetrate the enemy's consciousness, you switch to the illusionist. A line of spiritual power is naturally of great help to the battle.
"It's quite interesting..."
Jiang Chen opened "Huan Shen Transformation" and looked through this set of secret techniques.
——
A few days later, a Space Mercenary Alliance spacecraft arrived at the 'Black Dragon Star', picked up Jiang Chen's 'Erso' clone, and embarked on the journey to the Space Mercenaries Journey to Alliance Headquarters.
However, the alliance headquarters is too far away. Even an F-class spacecraft needs to fly in the dark universe for more than a year.
This period of time is also the time limit for the Phantom King to give Jiang Chen a test.
Before reaching the initial universe, only by practicing the "Illusion God Transformation" can you become a disciple of the Phantom King and have an invincible "backer" who can be crowned king.
Jiang Chen didn’t pay special attention to this matter.
It is certainly a good thing to be able to become the disciple of the Phantom King, but it does not matter if you fail.
However, the difficulty of the secret method of "Illusion God Transformation" is indeed very high.
The principle is very simple. Through the 'resonance' of the soul, the 'characteristics' of the mental power are changed.
But it is very difficult to do it.
Jiang Chen tried for more than a month, but there was no sign of getting started.
However, since the clone of 'Ersso' is flying in the dark universe and has nothing else to do, it is not a waste to spend a lot of time studying the secret method.
But occasionally, the avatar of 'Ersso' will still be in the virtual universe, or go to 'Killing Space' to hone his combat skills, or go to restaurants and bars in the public areas of 'Huanyu Island' Rest, relax, and make friends with other core geniuses who are also part of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.
Time passes.
On this day, in a bar in the public area of Huanyu Island.
"Senior Qiniya, I haven't seen you for a while." Jiang Chen skillfully poured wine for the two of them and pushed one of the glasses in front of Qiniya.
Qiniya took the wine glass, touched it with Jiang Chen, and said with a smile: "I took on a troublesome task. Fortunately, I completed it successfully and got a lot of rewards."
Troublesome task?
Thinking that Qiniya was a 'territory lord', Jiang Chen guessed that it might be similar to Virtual Universe Company's 'territory lord-level assignment'.
This kind of thing usually involves some secrets. Jiang Chen wisely did not ask any more questions and just said: "I really envy you for being able to travel in the universe. I am flying in the dark universe very quickly. I’m going crazy.”
“Counting the time, you’re almost at the alliance headquarters, right?” Qiniya suddenly thought of something and asked, “How are you doing with the secret technique given to you by the Phantom King? Like? ”
"It took me nearly half a year to get a clue. Now I can barely get started, but there is still a long way to go before I can master it." Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "According to the current speed of the spacecraft, it will be ready in another three months." Go to the alliance headquarters. As for whether I can complete it in these three months... I'm not sure."
"No matter what, this is a great opportunity, and I have to go all out to try it. ." Qiniya persuaded.
As the 'introducer' who introduced Jiang Chen to the Space Mercenary Alliance, Qiniya naturally hoped that Jiang Chen's future achievements would be as high as possible.
With this relationship, and the fact that Lichnia has taken the initiative to put aside her status and deal with Jiang Chen in the past year, the two parties can be considered to have a good relationship.
The higher Jiang Chen's future achievements are and the stronger the backing behind him, the greater the benefits he can bring to Qiniya and her family.
“Whether it’s possible or not, I have to thank Senior Qiniya.” Jiang Chen raised his glass with a smile and said, “If it weren’t for Senior’s recommendation, I wouldn’t be able to join the core of the Space Mercenary Alliance. The opportunity in the secret realm didn’t seem like much before I joined, but this time. Time, just what I have seen in the virtual universe, let me know what an opportunity this is.”
“Don’t say that, if you successfully recommend a genius to join the core secret realm, the alliance will also give me a high reward. Reward, I have benefited from you.”
Qiniya behaved very emotionally, not at all like her arrogant appearance when she was in the world and outside the world.
It can only be said that the children of such a big family are too thorough when looking at a person.
Strive to befriend and win over valuable people, but completely ignore and despise those who are worthless.
The top leaders of various forces in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire are certainly countless times stronger than Jiang Chen. But in Qinya's eyes, these people are all of the 'worthless' category, and naturally they are not taken into consideration by her.
Jiang Chen's current strength is very weak, but as a genius who has become the core secret realm of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, he still has the opportunity to join the Phantom King's sect. In Qiniya's eyes, he is considered 'very valuable'. The 'must try your best to make good friends' type.
Although Jiang Chen can't completely see through the other person's thoughts at a glance, he can still guess a little bit.
However, Jiang Chen is not disgusted with Qiniya's attitude.
Building a good relationship with Qiniya at this stage is a good thing for Jiang Chen from every angle.
In less than a year since he joined the Space Mercenary Alliance's 'Secret Realm of Death', Qinya's suggestions and reminders have allowed Jiang Chen to save a lot of time and effort in 'adaptation'. energy.
Coupled with some 'friends' introduced by Qiniya, it also helped Jiang Chen smoothly integrate into this group of geniuses.
"You did not join through the normal route. You joined the core secret realm halfway. Some of the processes are different from those of geniuses who join normally."
Qiniya said: "You have never been to the initial universe. Many of the core You can't use the function. After reaching the 'Secret Realm of Death' in reality, it will be difficult to obtain resources to grow normally, and you have to wait for the initial universe to open."
"I have reliable news that the initial universe is still open. In other words, you have to take over officially. It will be seven or eight years before you have access to the most precious cultivation resources for geniuses in the core secret realm.”
“But you are only at the star level now, and these seven or eight years are very important for your growth. Can't waste it."
"You are now. The most important thing is to understand and practice the secret method given by the Phantom King. If you can master it and successfully become the disciple of the Phantom King, the subsequent training will naturally be arranged by the Phantom King and you will not let it go. Talent wasted.”
Qiniya talked eloquently and made many suggestions.
Even if Jiang Chen doesn't know much about the growth methods of other geniuses, he can tell that Qiniya's words are completely considered from his own standpoint.
"Thank you, Senior Qiniya." Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: "If I fail to practice the secret method and fail to become the disciple of the Phantom King, how will I spend the past few years? , Senior, do you have any suggestions?”
Qiniya thought about it. , said: "I really don't understand your situation. You should practice the secret method with peace of mind first, and then try to become the disciple of the Phantom King. If you fail... After a while, I will go back to the family and ask the elders. ”
