Chapter 253 You're the apprentice?
Whoosh whoosh!
Three beautiful figures appeared instantly at the main entrance.
"Apprentice!" Marquis Liushuang called out.
"Apprentice, you should take a good look around your manor. Marquis Liushuang has put in a lot of effort for it, hehe—"
Huo Meihou covered his mouth and laughed.
Marquis Jiyan also laughed and said, "Don't let Marquis Liushuang's usual cold demeanor fool you; she has a unique perspective on aesthetics!"
"Haha, thank you for your concern, Marquis Liushuang."
With a smile, Zhou Ze entered the Zhou Family Manor, greeted by the three major figures.
The construction of the Zhou family manor took only three days, but the preparation for this welcoming banquet took more than ten days, mainly because some precious food items had to be transported from other parts of the universe.
Furthermore, many powerful and influential figures in the Dream Universe Kingdom are located at a certain distance from the Dream Continent.
Therefore, the invitations were sent out a month in advance so that all the important people could come.
As time went by, one after another incredibly expensive spaceships came to rest above the main entrance of the Zhou family manor, and one after another immortal deities stepped out of the hatches and entered through the main entrance in a very formal manner.
"We've invited truly important and powerful figures from the Dream Universe Kingdom, so we must be polite—" said Huo Meihou with a smile.
"They're almost there, but it's still hundreds of kilometers from the main gate of the manor to the banquet hall. They won't rush here; they'll talk to each other as they walk, which will take some time," Marquis Liushuang explained.
Zhou Ze nodded.
The four giants of the Illusionary Dream stood on either side of the main hall of the banquet hall, gazing into the distance. Zhou Ze could clearly feel powerful auras of law emanating from them, some as dazzling as light, some as fierce as lightning, some as majestic as the earth, and some as scorching and raging as flames.
The laws permeated the air, causing the surrounding space to subtly distort and vibrate, and even time itself seemed to twist.
After a while, one powerful figure after another appeared in the distance. These great figures from the Dream Universe Kingdom were dressed in noble and gorgeous robes, or in armor that exuded a bloody aura, or riding shrunken immortal beasts. Some were tens of meters tall, while others were less than half a meter tall.
Some of them have a pair of pointed ears.
Some of them showed a fluffy tail.
Zhou Ze watched quietly. Most of these immortals were Marquis-level experts, but the leader was actually a King. They were walking towards the main hall of the banquet hall in groups of two or three, chatting with their friends.
"The Supreme Spirit King? Why is he here too?" Marquis Ji Yan was taken aback.
"It really is the Supreme Spirit King! Why would such a big shot come here?" Huo Meihou was also somewhat surprised, but then he remembered something and explained to Zhou Ze:
"Excuse me, apprentice, I didn't mean to belittle you—"
Zhou Ze looked over in confusion.
Huo Meihou explained, "This Extreme Spirit King isn't a king or marquis appointed by the Universe Kingdom; he's a true Immortal King! Moreover, he's at the pinnacle of the Immortal King realm, and it's said he's close to becoming invincible among Immortal Kings!"
Marquis Huo Mei and Marquis Liu Shuang both looked at Marquis Ji Yan, who hurriedly explained, "I didn't send him an invitation, because how could such an important person possibly attend a banquet like ours!"
Zhou Ze nodded to himself. This kind of existence was almost on par with the invincible powerhouses like the True King, and their status was extremely high. It was indeed impossible for them to attend his small domain lord's welcoming banquet, even though he was the head of the four giants of the Virtual Universe Company.
A being at the King-level is second only to the Venerable and the Lord of the Universe. Moreover, this Extreme Spirit King is between the limit of the King-level and the invincible King-level. Such a being is not much worse than the True Evolution King.
Despite his noble status, no matter how exaggerated his abilities, he was ultimately just a minor genius at the Domain Lord level.
He must have had a purpose in coming to my welcome banquet.
Zhou Ze seemed to be deep in thought.
As the crowd gradually approached the main entrance of the banquet hall, the three tycoons simultaneously bowed respectfully and said:
"Lord Ji Ling Wang!"
Zhou Ze also bowed respectfully and said, "Senior King Ji Ling!"
He didn't feel any psychological burden. In any case, in the universe, no matter who he was, all the powerful beings he encountered were countless epochs older than him, so calling them "senior" was nothing unusual.
The Supreme Spirit King nodded slightly, then looked at Zhou Ze warmly and said, "This must be one of the new giants, an apprentice, right?"
"So young, yet possessing such a profound understanding of the laws—truly worthy of being a disciple of the 'Saint Master'!"
"Hehe, little one, don't blame me for coming uninvited. I've long admired Senior 'Saint Master,' and now that I have the chance to meet Senior 'Saint Master's' disciple, I've come—"
The Supreme Spirit King smiled and seemed very approachable.
"How could that be? I'm more than excited that you're attending my welcome banquet, senior. Please don't blame us for not sending you an invitation. It's just that we couldn't believe that such a great figure as you would attend a mere domain lord's welcome banquet. Hah......"
You can't hit someone who's smiling. This person, a powerful expert who's almost at the level of a king, has already put on such a humble attitude. He can't be ungrateful, can he?
"It's actually the Supreme Spirit King! Why would he attend a banquet like this?"
"The Supreme Spirit King! Holy crap, he actually came to the banquet—"
"That shouldn't be the case. The Supreme Spirit King is a near-invincible King-level expert, with an extremely noble status and position. Why would he attend such a banquet?"
With so many kings and nobles present, no one dared to easily use their mental power to spread the influence, and quite a few people still did not discover the existence of the Supreme Spirit King.
Everyone was utterly shocked.
Immortal gods are mainly divided into military lords, marquises, and kings. Marquises are extremely prestigious, while kings are beings who would be highly regarded in any race!
After all, even in the entire human race's 1008 universe kingdoms, there are only a few thousand Venerables. Not to mention that this Extreme Spirit King is close to being an invincible king, and may have a slight chance to become a universe Venerable in the future.
The three giants couldn't help but feel admiration and respect as they watched Zhou Ze chatting so casually with a powerful expert who was close to becoming a king in such a setting.
They wouldn't dare.
"Hehe, apprentice, then I'll take my seat first—" After chatting with Zhou Ze for a while, the Extreme Spirit King entered the banquet hall under the guidance of the banquet hall staff.
After the Supreme Spirit King went in, the other kings and nobles, all with smiles on their faces, came over one by one, exchanged a few polite words with Zhou Ze and the others, and then entered the main hall one after another.
The reception work itself wasn't difficult, but it did take quite a while, since everyone had to exchange pleasantries and pleasantries.
Finally, all the guests had entered the banquet hall, and Zhou Ze and the three bigwigs were about to go back.
At this moment, Zhou Ze noticed that Bertha's expression was very unpleasant. He instantly realized something and laughed:
"Bessa, let's go, all the guests are here, let's go in!"
Suddenly, Zhou Ze and the others sensed something, turned around and looked up, and saw a huge shadow descending from the sky.
Thousands of figures flew out of the cabin door, and then two more figures slowly flew out from inside.
One of them was about three meters tall and looked somewhat like a bull. His eyes were calm, but his face deliberately showed a smile, which gave people a strange feeling!
"You're the apprentice?"
