Chapter 192 Gu Shan's Identity

"Wu Ming, Junior Brother!" Senior Brother Chi Tong, still looking like a child, called out with a smile, "Can you guess Senior Brother Gu Shan's real identity in reality?"

"I can't."

Xu Jingming walked over, sat on the sofa, and casually picked up a glass of wine. "Senior Brother Chi Tong, tell me quickly."

Chi Tong immediately said, "You know about the Frost Whisper civilization, right?"

"Yes, the most powerful civilization in the Frost Star Alliance. Its history can be traced back to the Dark Era. Among the nearly a thousand mid-level cosmic civilizations in the Hunter Cosmic Domain, the Frost Whisper civilization is among the top thirty," Xu Jingming said. "It has a territory of over twelve thousand star systems and currently has two tenth-order lifeforms and 285 ninth-order lifeforms."

"Our Senior Brother Gu Shan is the 286th ninth-order lifeform of the current Frost Whisper civilization." Chi Tong pointed to Gu Shan, who was sitting beside him with a smile. "Moreover, he is also the Third Prince of the Frost Whisper civilization, 'Jun Shikong of Frost Whisper'. As a prince who became a source lifeform, he naturally has the first right of succession. As long as he is willing, he can become the next emperor of the Frost Whisper civilization."

"The Third Prince of the Frost Whisper civilization?" Silver-haired beauty Senior Sister Mo Yu and Azure Scale Senior Brother walked in together, both looking at Gu Shan in surprise.

"Senior Brother, do you have any plans to become the emperor of the Frost Whisper civilization?" Chi Tong asked eagerly.

"I have no such plans," Senior Brother Gu Shan said with a slight smile.

"The power of the Frost Whisper civilization's emperor is considerable. Are you just giving it up like that?" Chi Tong shook his head.

Xu Jingming was somewhat shocked by the side.

In the universe, the strength of some ancient civilizations can be formidable. The strength of a civilization like the Frost Whisper civilization is comparable to that of a weaker star alliance!

Everyone says that the Black Moon civilization is very powerful, but it has not crossed the threshold of a mid-level cosmic civilization. The Frost Whisper civilization, on the other hand, is considered top-tier among mid-level cosmic civilizations, powerful enough to make one tremble.

"Two tenth-order lifeforms, 286 ninth-order lifeforms, and a territory comparable to one-tenth of the Wu Hook Star Alliance! The population is countless. Their technological and military aspects have reached an unbelievable level! One civilization is enough to rival a star alliance," Xu Jingming thought secretly.

If the Frost Whisper civilization has so many source lifeforms in this era, how many source lifeforms have been born throughout its long history? How many great scholars have been born?

It is the generations of source lifeforms and great scholars that have made the Frost Whisper civilization so prosperous today.

"My home, now only has one life planet with a population of no more than ten billion. When will it be able to develop to the level of the Frost Whisper civilization?" Xu Jingming thought, it was too far away.

Even with personal strength, the accumulation of technology, the propagation of the population, and the expansion of territory all take a long time.

…

Senior Brother Gu Shan sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "The Frost Whisper civilization has a long history, over three hundred million years, but because it is too long, the various forces within the civilization are particularly complex. Even the emperor has difficulty managing many things. Rather than being an emperor who balances all parties, it is better to focus on the path of evolution!"

"I admire you," Senior Brother Chi Tong raised his glass. "To so easily give up such vast power, I must toast you for that, Senior Brother."

Gu Shan smiled and took a sip.

"Everyone says that the Third Prince of the Frost Whisper civilization is lazy and likes to enjoy himself. It seems that everyone has misjudged him," Senior Sister Mo Yu said with a smile.

"I do like to enjoy myself," Gu Shan said as he drank his wine. "Life is short, and one must have some hobbies, otherwise wouldn't it be too tiring?"

While they were talking and laughing, Cheng Yu and Kabuya arrived.

"Everyone's here. Please, everyone, take your seats," Gu Shan said as he stood up.

The eight of them took their seats.

Although Senior Brother Gu Shan had become a source lifeform, as geniuses of the Primordial Star Conjecture lineage, the others were confident and could maintain their composure in front of him.

"Mo Yu, Junior Sister," Gu Shan said, "Your mental strength is improving faster than mine. When will you break through to become a source lifeform?"

"Now that you've broken through, Senior Brother, I'll probably break through within three years," Senior Sister Mo Yu said with a faint smile.

"Wow!"

"Within three years?"

"Senior Sister Mo Yu!"

Chi Tong, Monina, Kabuya, and the others were all surprised.

Gu Shan said, "If Mo Yu, Junior Sister, wanted to, she could have broken through before me. She's not in a hurry at all. She even had the mind to establish twelve sects in the Demon Subduing World."

"It's also to hone my mind to perfection at the eighth-order Star Domain lifeform stage," Senior Sister Mo Yu said. "After all, even if you do the same things, the feeling is different at different stages of life."

"You two are about to break through. My mental strength, as the third in line, is still a bit lacking," Chi Tong said with a bitter face.

"How long do you think it will take?" Monina asked eagerly.

"Within a hundred years, maybe," Chi Tong said, shaking his head.

"Shut up!" Monina pouted. "I can't see any hope in three to five hundred years, and I haven't said anything."

Once Senior Sister breaks through, Chi Tong and Monina will be the oldest.

"I can't see any hope in three to five hundred years either," Azure Scale Senior Brother shook his head.

Cheng Yu, Kabuya, and Xu Jingming didn't say anything. They were the youngest, had cultivated for a relatively short time, but had also reached the limit of the eighth-order.

"Senior Brother Gu Shan, talk about your feelings after breaking through to become a source lifeform," Senior Sister Mo Yu said.

"Alright," Gu Shan nodded and began to speak. Xu Jingming and the others listened attentively.

…

Two years after the gathering of the eight, Senior Sister Mo Yu also broke through and became a source lifeform.

Xu Jingming and the others also learned about Senior Sister Mo Yu's identity in reality. Senior Sister Mo Yu came from a very ordinary early-stage cosmic civilization, the Fengshan civilization. The Fengshan civilization had twelve life planets, only slightly stronger than the Blue Star civilization.

Senior Sister Mo Yu came from a very ordinary background. She rose step by step, and in reality, she disguised herself as a seventh-order Star Domain lifeform and served as the principal of a college.

After she became a source lifeform, the entire Fengshan civilization was in a frenzy!

******

In the blink of an eye, it was already 2101.

In the virtual world network, in his personal space, Xu Jingming was reading a large amount of scientific knowledge.

He had been focused on the Cosmic Peak Tournament for six years. Xu Jingming's talent in actual combat was recognized by all parties when he participated in the selection for the Mysterious Land! After all, he had become a seventh-order Star Domain lifeform in less than two years of cultivation.

His outstanding talent in actual combat was truly and perfectly displayed after Xu Jingming focused on the Cosmic Peak Tournament.

Six years! Dozens of battles every day, accumulating tens of thousands of battles, all against eighth-order limit lifeforms whose strength was similar to his. All of this had a great impact on Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming was like a piece of iron, forged through tens of thousands of battles, truly tempered into steel.

His actual combat skills had completely reached a new level.

"The more knowledge I learn, the more I feel that the Primordial Star is difficult to describe," Xu Jingming said softly, closing the page in front of him with a click.

"It's time for my appointment," Xu Jingming tapped on the visitor information and invited one of the visitors in.

With a swoosh.

A short, green-skinned old man walked in. He was dressed meticulously and smiled as he entered. "Cangjiu Teng, chairman of the Nine Stars Group of the Wu Hook Star Alliance, greets Mr. Wu Ming."

"Mr. Cangjiu Teng, please sit down," Xu Jingming nodded, pointing to a seat nearby.

Cangjiu Teng was also observing Xu Jingming, making a silent judgment: "This Wu Ming, even just sitting there, seems like a weapon, with an invisible sharpness. This kind of person is too sharp and not easy to deal with."

The Xu Jingming from six years ago, when he had just left the Demon Subduing World, still had some vicissitudes.

But now, he was different.

The weapon had been integrated into his mind and had changed his temperament.

"Mr. Wu Ming should know that our Nine Stars Group's team is considered the number one team in the Wu Hook Star Alliance," Cangjiu Teng said. "I'm here to invite Mr. Wu Ming to join our team and compete for a spot among the top ten teams in the Hunter Cosmic Domain. Once we succeed... we will have the opportunity to reach the highest stage! That's the hottest event in the 34 Cosmic Domains."

"I can guarantee,"

Cangjiu Teng said, "After Mr. Wu Ming joins the team, he will receive fair competition. The capable will rise, and the weak will fall. I believe that with Mr. Wu Ming's strength, he will definitely be able to secure a main position on the team."

Recruiting people into the team requires integration, and if the effect is not good, they will not have the qualifications to appear on stage.

"I've heard of the Nine Stars Group," Xu Jingming nodded. "But I'm sorry, I don't plan to join any team."

"There are many benefits to joining a team," Cangjiu Teng said with a smile. "Our Nine Stars Group's founder, Lord Feng Ming, is a source lifeform and also a member of the Wu Hook Star Alliance's Elder Council. He is also a high-level member of the Wu Hook Chamber of Commerce, with influence that permeates the entire Star Alliance. Lord Feng Ming takes great care of the team members. With Lord Feng Ming's help, I believe you will have a smoother journey in the Wu Hook Star Alliance."

"I have no intention of joining any team," Xu Jingming said again.

Cangjiu Teng's expression changed slightly, and he said softly, "Mr. Wu Ming, are you sure you want to refuse the Nine Stars Group's invitation?"

"Yes, I refuse," Xu Jingming nodded.

Having focused on weapons for a long time, he spoke more directly and was unwilling to beat around the bush.

Cangjiu Teng stood up and nodded. "I understand. I will inform Lord Feng Ming of your answer. I just want to offer one more piece of advice, Mr. Wu Ming, don't easily refuse the kindness of a source lifeform. Mr. Feng Ming values the team very much and also thinks highly of you."

"Are you threatening me?" Xu Jingming stared at him.

Cangjiu Teng was stunned.

This Wu Ming, is he really this headstrong?

"I'm just offering friendly advice," Cangjiu Teng said.

"I understand," Xu Jingming nodded and directly expelled the other party from his personal space, blacklisting him.

He had been using the identity of Wu Ming all along, so what did it matter if he refused a team invitation?

Xu Jingming shook his head. "A lackey can be so arrogant, even threatening me?"

The other party seemed polite, but Xu Jingming could feel the hidden threat. But he obviously didn't care!

Not to mention that Senior Brother Gu Shan and Senior Sister Mo Yu's influence could suppress that Lord Feng Ming, even Xu Jingming himself was becoming more and more confident in himself.

Xu Jingming opened his Cosmic Peak Tournament interface—

Name: Wu Ming

Wu Hook Star Alliance Ranking: 3

Hunter Cosmic Domain Ranking: 523

Cosmic Overall Ranking: 12791

"In six years, I've rushed to third place in the Wu Hook Star Alliance. It's several times faster than I originally planned," Xu Jingming thought. "In terms of actual combat, I'm really quite talented."
