A big shot wants to see me?!
Jiang Yan stared at the communicator after the call ended, a chill creeping up his spine.
If Manluo, an Immortal powerhouse, referred to someone as a big shot, then that person had to be a true upper echelon of the Virtual Universe Company.
But why would someone at that level take notice of him?
Was it Manluo's recommendation?
Just as these thoughts churned in his mind—
Huh?!
Jiang Yan's expression changed abruptly.
A supreme, irresistible pressure descended without warning, crushing down upon him and making his soul tremble.
In an instant, the world went dark.
All light vanished.
"Not bad. You do have some ability."
An indifferent voice thundered directly into Jiang Yan's mind. His head felt like it was splitting apart, as though it might explode at any moment.
Then, like a receding tide, the darkness withdrew.
Jiang Yan's vision returned—and he instinctively swallowed hard.
Above White Orchid Star, a figure stood suspended in the void.
Black mist coiled around him. His eyes burned scarlet and unfathomable. He wore black-scaled armor, three vertical lines etched into his forehead. Monstrous black flames roared around his body, so intense that even the surrounding starry sky was reduced to drifting particles.
He looked like a god… or a demon.
Gazing down upon Jiang Yan.
That single look made Jiang Yan's entire being shudder. This wasn't mere pressure—it was absolute suppression at the level of life itself.
The gap between them was unfathomable.
Who is he?!
How did he find me?!
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Jiang Yan immediately bowed deeply.
"Jiang Yan greets Senior!"
Respecting the strong was an ironclad rule of the universe.
As Jiang Yan steadied himself, the figure spoke again, his tone calm and detached.
"Law comprehension: Space—Minor Completion. Lightning and Gold—Major Completion. Light—Minor Completion. Hm? There's also karmic residue from the Demon Slayer Clan… so you seized the Demon Slayer inheritance. No wonder you can comprehend the Law of Space."
Jiang Yan's pupils shrank violently.
Cold spread through his entire body.
In front of this person, he had no secrets at all.
"Consciousness amplitude: 57. Physical amplitude: 51."
"Very good. Quite good indeed."
"Worthy of being someone who successfully cultivated my techniques."
Jiang Yan's heart slammed against his chest.
His techniques?!
Thunder Prison Suppression Scripture?
Four-Elephant Spear Canon?
Before he could speak, the man smiled faintly.
"Little fellow, you're impressive. Are you willing to take me as your master?"
Jiang Yan froze for a split second—
Then, without the slightest hesitation, he dropped to one knee and performed a formal disciple salute.
"Disciple Jiang Yan greets Master!"
There was nothing to hesitate over.
This existence could see through time, space, karma, and destiny itself. At the very least, he was a Universe Venerable.
A being like this offering to take him as a disciple?
Only a fool would refuse.
"Haha! Good!"
The man laughed with satisfaction.
"My name is Star Prison. Others call me the Star Prison Demon Lord."
"You are the ninth disciple under my banner. That means you have eight senior brothers and sisters. They're all busy with their own matters—I'll introduce them to you later."
Then he continued calmly:
"Since you've acknowledged me as your master, I'll leave someone behind to ensure your safety."
As his words fell, a woman clad in a red martial robe appeared beside him.
Her presence alone radiated terrifying power.
An Immortal King.
"Thank you, Master!"
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up with joy.
He loved this master already.
"Your realm is still too low," the Star Prison Demon Lord said indifferently.
"As your master, I won't give you too much yet. Everything must be earned by yourself."
"When you reach Immortality, I'll prepare another gift—one that will truly satisfy you."
With that, he tossed a token toward Jiang Yan.
The next instant—
He vanished.
Just like that.
"…That's it?"
Jiang Yan stood there, stunned.
He's leaving already?
No extra treasures? No mountains of resources?
He looked down at the token in his hand.
One side bore the words "Personal Transmission".
The other was engraved with an intricate blood-red pattern so complex that merely glancing at it made his head ache.
Inside the token was a vast internal space—and two manuals.
The complete versions of:
Thunder Prison Suppression ScriptureFour-Elephant Spear Canon
Jiang Yan's eyes widened.
"These… were all created by Master?"
"Red Kite greets Senior Brother."
The woman in red stepped forward, studying Jiang Yan with curiosity.
"Senior Brother?" Jiang Yan blinked.
She explained patiently, "I am Master's named disciple. You are a formal disciple—naturally, I should call you Senior Brother."
Jiang Yan waved his hand quickly.
"My strength is far too low. Don't call me that—just call me by name."
Then he smiled warmly.
"I'll call you Sister Red Kite instead. What realm are you in?"
Her answer was calm and simple.
"The limit of the Immortal King."
"…What?!"
Jiang Yan was completely stunned.
An Immortal King at the limit—and still only a named disciple?
Wasn't this outrageous?!
And now he had a bodyguard at the Immortal King limit?
That alone was absurd.
"Sister Red Kite," Jiang Yan asked, still dazed,
"What level is Master at? As his disciple, I feel I should at least know."
She sent him a data file.
"See for yourself."
Jiang Yan hurriedly reviewed it.
When he finished, his heart nearly stopped.
"My… Master is this terrifying?!"
The Star Prison Demon Lord was a peak Universe Venerable, a top-tier cosmic overlord whose combat power approached that of a Universe Lord.
Among Universe Venerables, he stood at the absolute pinnacle.
He was one of the three strongest Universe Overlords of the human race, on par with the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Lord and the Ancestral Tree Venerable.
He possessed clones and cultivated the Beast God Path.
The being who had just appeared was merely one of his clones.
He was also a Seven-Star Hongmeng Overlord, guardian of the Eighteen Star Prisons of Humanity, his status rivaling that of many Universe Lords.
Ordinarily, he didn't even bother with Star Prison affairs—those were handled by his Immortal subordinates.
Jiang Yan felt dizzy.
His luck… was outrageous.
"Before you reach Immortality," Red Kite spoke again,
"Master has prepared a gift for you."
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up instantly.
"I knew it! What is it?"
"Ten thousand Mixed-Element Units."
"…Huh?" Jiang Yan nearly choked.
"How many?"
Ten thousand.
As expected of a top Universe Overlord—utterly extravagant.
Red Kite snorted softly.
"Don't get ahead of yourself. You won't receive them all at once."
"The ten thousand are divided into six batches, each tied to specific tasks."
She explained calmly:
Planet level: 50 unitsStar level: 150 unitsCosmic level: 300 unitsDomain Lord: 1,500 unitsRealm Lord: 3,000 unitsImmortal: 5,000 units
"You're already at star level, so the planet-level task has expired—but you won't receive that reward yet."
"Only after completing the star-level task will you receive both rewards together."
Jiang Yan's breathing quickened.
"What's the star-level task?"
