In the Virtual Universe, on Thunder Island, Qin Hao stepped onto Thunder Island, directly appearing on the mountaintop in front of the highest and largest palace.
"Come in!"
This was not Qin Hao's first time on Thunder Island, but previously he had only come as Primordial Chaos City Lord's disciple to seek guidance from his teacher. Now, it was Qin Hao's first time formally entering Thunder Island as an Undying powerhouse.
However, to establish a palace on Thunder Island, it still required his teacher, Primordial Chaos City Lord, to decide.
Stepping into the palace, Qin Hao quickly met Primordial Chaos City Lord.
"Greetings, Teacher!" Qin Hao respectfully bowed. Although Primordial Chaos City Lord's teaching method for him was more of a hands-off approach, he had always been very supportive. From the very beginning, he opened all secret methods of the Virtual Universe to him, and on matters concerning him, he mostly deferred to Qin Hao's opinions.
"Hmm, not bad. I didn't expect you to break through to Undying so quickly." Primordial Chaos City Lord was quite satisfied with Qin Hao. He only had a relatively vague judgment of Qin Hao's strength. In terms of laws, he was no longer inferior to a Universe Exalt, and had even reached the level of a Universe Overlord.
His gene level had reached the perfect gene level. Just by breaking through to Undying, his strength already surpassed that of an ordinary Exalt. Coupled with his comprehension of laws, his minimum strength was that of a Universe Overlord.
"Now, how strong are you?" Primordial Chaos City Lord directly asked.
"Among Universe Overlords, I should have no opponents. I can contend with a Universe Lord." Qin Hao did not hide his current situation. For his teacher and the human race, the stronger he was, the more attention he would receive.
Furthermore, the news of him obtaining a supreme treasure was already public among the human race's high-level members, and many were eyeing the supreme treasure in his hands. Now, sufficient strength could help him solve many problems.
"Good, now that you have become Undying, you can establish your own palace on Thunder Island. Later, you can directly choose a location on the mountaintop and build it!" Primordial Chaos City Lord was very satisfied upon hearing Qin Hao's answer. He was even stronger than he had imagined. He did not doubt Qin Hao exaggerating his strength.
After all, he was clear about Qin Hao's talent, and his growth had always been very rapid. When he was a World Lord, his strength was already comparable to a Universe Exalt, and even his second disciple, Guiyi Venerable, had once stated that Qin Hao's strength might already be no less than his.
At that time, Qin Hao was still just a World Lord. Now, becoming Undying brought a huge improvement, and coupled with the inheritance Qin Hao obtained in the Elder God Cult, his understanding of laws must have advanced to another level.
"What are your plans for the future?" Primordial Chaos City Lord continued to ask. Having become Undying, Qin Hao's autonomy was also stronger.
"I plan to stay in Primordial Chaos City for a period of time to refine some inheritance items and leave behind some secret methods, then return to Earth to stay for a period, preparing to break through to Venerable." Qin Hao also did not hide his upcoming plans. Having become Undying, the sense of urgency in his heart was no longer so strong.
Now, even if Earth were exposed, Qin Hao had no worries. With his current strength and status, he was already sufficient to protect Earth within the human race.
"Inheritance items?" Hearing Qin Hao mention inheritance items, Primordial Chaos City Lord couldn't help but be very curious about what Qin Hao intended to leave behind. After all, for any race, inheritance was the most crucial, directly affecting the future of a race.
Now that Qin Hao had spoken so simply, Primordial Chaos City Lord didn't know how to judge the inheritance items. However, his heart was filled more with curiosity and anticipation. Previously, Qin Hao had already created many secret methods and uploaded them to the Virtual Universe.
Primordial Chaos City Lord had reviewed every single secret method, from basic law essence-type secret methods to various applications of laws, and even secret methods developed from Fusion Laws. Many secret methods made even Primordial Chaos City Lord's eyes light up.
It was precisely because of this that Primordial Chaos City Lord was very confident in Qin Hao and did not make any special arrangements for him. He only provided some knowledge and convenience for Qin Hao when he needed them.
"It's related to the inheritance I received this time in the Elder God Cult, some inheritance regarding Fusion Laws." This was something Qin Hao had already planned when he was refining Purple Firmament Palace.
Walking out of Primordial Chaos City Lord's palace, Qin Hao directly found a spot on the mountaintop. With power condensed, he waved his hand, and a palace began to materialize.
The overall style still maintained Qin Hao's preferred China style, constructed directly with reference to China's palace complexes.
As Qin Hao built the palace, the powerhouses throughout Thunder Island were all drawn by the commotion. Their gazes turned towards the palace rising on the mountaintop and towards Qin Hao, who was building it.
"Isn't that Qin Hao? Why is he building a palace on the mountaintop? Isn't he a World Lord?"
"What's wrong with being a World Lord? His strength has already reached King-level Invincible, and he's also Primordial Chaos City Lord's disciple."
"What does that have to do with his identity? To build a palace on the mountaintop, one needs at least Universe Overlord-level strength. That's the rule, how can it be broken because of identity?"
"Haven't you noticed? Qin Hao's aura is no longer that of a World Lord; he has already broken through to Undying."
"He's become Undying? Could it be that his strength already rivals a Universe Overlord as soon as he became Undying? How could such a monstrous talent exist?"
The news of Qin Hao breaking through to Undying quickly attracted attention among many powerhouses, with more people speculating about how strong Qin Hao truly was.
However, most people still found it hard to believe that Qin Hao's strength had already reached Universe Overlord level. Yet, no one raised any doubts. After all, Qin Hao building a palace on the mountaintop must have been arranged by Primordial Chaos City Lord. This meant that Primordial Chaos City Lord had already recognized Qin Hao's strength and status.
Qin Hao didn't pay attention to the gazes of the people below. After the palace was built, he directly stepped inside, surveyed the interior layout, and was quite satisfied.
As he sat on the throne, just about to contact his disciples Rocas, Hong, Thunder God, and his sister, among others, to grant them permission to enter his palace.
Someone outside the palace arrived at the door. Sensing the approaching person, Qin Hao stopped his actions, controlled the gate to open directly, and a person stepped in from outside the palace.
"I didn't expect you, junior brother, to break through to Undying so quickly, and even be arranged by Teacher to be on Thunder Island's mountaintop." The person who entered was none other than Guiyi Venerable. He had already noticed when Qin Hao was building the palace.
He was also very surprised that Qin Hao was directly building a palace on the mountaintop. In his estimation, Qin Hao's breakthrough to Undying should have brought his strength to the level of a high-level Venerable. But he hadn't expected it to directly reach Universe Overlord.
He would not suspect his teacher of favoritism, and he was even clearer about Qin Hao's strength and talent.
Although there was a hint of bitterness in his tone, he was still happy at heart.
"I gained some insights this time in the Elder God Cult, and by chance, I broke through, and my strength inadvertently reached this level." Qin Hao's communication with Guiyi Venerable was very casual. From Primordial Chaos City Lord's guidance to Guiyi Venerable, to later Qin Hao directly consulting Guiyi Venerable on many cultivation questions.
Qin Hao had no estrangement with this senior brother, with whom he had the most contact.
