Inheritance Crystal

The preliminary rounds are over.

The final battle in the arena will take place a month later.

During this month, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God were approached by many forces after successfully advancing from the Preliminary Elimination Tournament. These forces included not only local powers of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire but also some super organizations from the Ganwu Universe Country, all hoping that they could join them and hold positions within their organizations.

This left them extremely troubled and helpless, and they could only say that they were going into seclusion to prepare for the upcoming arena battle, refusing their request to see them.

On the contrary, Lin Yan was at peace. After all, he was a genius whose spot had been secured, and even whose ranking was among the top ten in the entire universe. They were also aware of their own limitations and dared not disturb him, lest they upset him.

Twelve days after the qualifiers ended.

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Crescent Bay Villa.

Lin Yan saw the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's envoy out, then returned to the table, took a sip of tea, and found that while the tea was slightly bitter, it instantly soothed his spirits and left a lingering fragrance in his mouth. This was no longer the ordinary tea he had once known, but a true "spiritual tea."

"Lin Yan, what did that special World Master from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire mean just now? Was what he said true?" Luo Feng was still somewhat incredulous.

Thunder God was also taken aback and was unable to calm down. "If you break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe, you will hand over all ownership of the Silver Blue Empire's territory to the Jiuzhou Company?"

"This is too exaggerated! That's an early-stage civilization in the universe!"

The Silver Blue Empire is a vassal state of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Originally, it was a primitive civilization in the universe composed of eight adjacent star systems, including the Milky Way Galaxy and the Beta Galaxy. Later, Lin Yan bought the Milky Way Galaxy from the Silver Blue Empire at a high price, but still had seven star systems remaining.

Generally, the price of a galaxy is between 100 billion and 1 trillion Cosmic Coin. In the case of the Silver Blue Empire, although the conditions of the galaxy are relatively ordinary, the galaxies are adjacent and form a whole. If they are sold together, the value is estimated to be around 10 Chaos Yuan.

So the Black Dragon Mountain Empire just gave it away like that?

They said they would only send it once they broke into the top 1000 in the entire universe, but they knew perfectly well that it was almost a done deal.

Furthermore, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire specifically stated that it would never interfere with Lin Yan's management of the Silver Blue Empire's internal affairs, nor would it levy taxes. However, the imperial army would still assume the responsibility of protecting the Silver Blue Empire's territory.

Such conditions are perhaps too lenient.

Even the emperor of the Silver Blue Empire, "Yi Wei," came along and told him that when the territory changed ownership, the Silver Blue Imperial Family would choose to leave and relocate to the Imperial Capital Star in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain.

He seemed quite happy, which suggested that the emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had promised him something.

Although Lin Yan hadn't expected this outcome, the gift wasn't particularly valuable to him, so he remained relatively calm.

"These conditions are not just for me alone, but for all four of us. The remaining seven star systems are being taken over under the name of 'Jiuzhou Company.' They were sent by the Emperor of the Empire, so they naturally know the company's shareholding structure."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Moreover, judging from the envoy's demeanor and the cryptic words he uttered, he probably guessed that we are disciples of some reclusive master, which is why we were able to achieve such results."

Earth's uniqueness is unparalleled, and even the Universe's Strongest could see its secrets. Naturally, there's no reason for anyone to think in this direction. Moreover, Lin Yan and his group joined the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's citizenship on Qiulong Star and then directly purchased the entire Milky Way Galaxy as their territory.

Lin Yan owns many Life Planet; Earth is just one of them.

Before the Virtual Universe Network became widespread on Earth, no one could be sure of their exact origins. The most reliable and reasonable guess was that they were disciples trained by a reclusive powerhouse who distinguished themselves in the Genius Battle.

Lin Yan picked up his teacup. "The Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain has more than 8,000 star systems and more than 500 vassal states. The Silver Blue Empire, an annex, is nothing. However, as long as I can join the core of the Virtual Universe Company, not to mention building a good relationship with me, the rewards from the Ganwu Universe Country alone will far exceed the value of the Silver Blue Empire."

"Even so, it's still a bit unbelievable," Hong Du said with a wry smile.

Lin Yan stood up and said, "This matter is minor. You should prepare for the final battle in the arena. Take a good look at the information that the Black Dragon Mountain World Master 'Butashka' brought earlier, and learn more about the opponents you will face."

"I have some things to take care of and need to go out."

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire representatives also brought the information they had collected, which recorded the names of the Super genius from the Ganwu Universe Country who had passed the preliminary selection, including some videos. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God Shen gathered together to look at the information on many powerful individuals.

Lin Yan then set off for the Slaughter Arena.

He glanced around the hall, but the green-skinned old man wasn't there. He went straight to the Meditation Room on the second floor.

Standing at the door of one of the rooms was a burly man dressed entirely in dark blue. When he saw Lin Yan, he smiled and said, "Lin Yan, Lady Man Luo is waiting for you inside."

The battle robe he wore bore a "Cosmic Two-Star Mercenary" medal on the left breast, revealing his status as a domain lord.

Lin Yan nodded and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Ming Yu."

Then he pushed open the door and went inside.

When the green-skinned old man saw him walk in, he smiled warmly and gestured, "Lin Yan, please have a seat."

"Mr. Man Luo, what is your opinion on the matter I mentioned to you before?" Lin Yan sat down and asked directly.

"You mean you want Virtual Universe Company to include your Milky Way Galaxy in their protection?" Man Luo replied without hesitation, "Of course, no problem. I can agree to that."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Now it's probably not just the Milky Way Galaxy anymore. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire sent a special envoy today, promising that if I break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe, the entire Silver Blue Empire will be incorporated into my territory."

"Furthermore, I plan to select a location in the Milky Way Galaxy to establish an important business center, with the aim of boosting the economic development of the Silver Blue Empire. I also hope that the company can set up a branch there."

Man Luo her head and chuckled, "The Black Dragon Mountain Empire is quite clever. They said they wanted to break into the top 1,000 in the entire universe, but with your abilities, they should understand that getting into the top three is not difficult. Since you come from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain, they naturally hope to maintain this relationship with you."

"What you're talking about are minor matters. Don't worry, with our Virtual Universe Company on your side, no one should dare to touch your territory."

"I called you here today to talk to you about something else."

Um?

Lin Yan asked with some confusion, "What is it that Mr. Man Luo wants to talk about?"

The green-skinned old man took out a black box, handed it over, and smiled, "Open it and take a look."

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, a sense of curiosity rising in his heart. Could it be that Man Luo, like the emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, had prepared a gift for him?

This is really...

He has only just demonstrated his ability to break into the top three, and he is already seeing so many benefits. Is this the status that Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company have?

Lin Yan gently opened the box, inside which was a crystal ball with a pale golden light flowing across its surface. In the center of the crystal ball, a colorful prism slowly rotated.

The first thing that came to his mind when he saw it was the Extreme Divine Weapon.

"This is?"

"This is a gift prepared for you by the three ministers of my Ganwu Branch. Firstly, it's to congratulate you in advance on entering the core of the Virtual Universe Company. Secondly, since you are a member of our Black Dragon Mountain Branch, the ministers hope that you can go further in the Genius Battle, so they specially obtained this Inheritance Crystal for you." Man Luo's tone was meaningful.

Lin Yan naturally understood.

This is trying to corrupt my morals and sentiments with sugar-coating!

This is outrageous! I cultivate for the rise of humanity, what do they take me for?

I'm upright and righteous, do you think I'd stoop to your level?

My upbringing doesn't allow me to do that!

He immediately asked curiously, "Mr. Man Luo, may I ask what is recorded in this Inheritance Crystal?"

The green-skinned elder explained, "This is a secret technique that the Black Annihilation Marquis personally sought from the Po Mirror Clan, the birthplace of the Extreme Divine Weapon. The Extreme Divine Weapon is a weapon created by a powerful individual. If it is used only in the most basic way, it will appear rigid and inadequate, and it will be impossible to unleash its full power."

"This Inheritance Crystal contains Eight Gate Secret Arts, corresponding to the first to the eighth level respectively. They were all carefully selected by Black Annihilation Marquis. They can not only help you better master this divine weapon of the Controller, but also give you a lot of inspiration in your Law Comprehension."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up. In fact, he had already understood this principle. He did not use it completely according to the most basic method, but based on his understanding of the law, he made some changes and improved the level of his use of the Extreme Divine Weapon.

But with his accumulated knowledge, how could he possibly compare to the secret technique that the Po Mirror Clan had specially created over countless years of research on the Extreme Divine Weapon?

This gift is very thoughtful.

He took the Inheritance Crystal out of the box and smiled, "Please convey my gratitude to the three ministers on my behalf, Mr. Man Luo. I have indeed been lacking in this regard, and I am truly grateful."

The education I received did not allow me to be ignorant of the principle of flexibility!

Anyway, he had no intention of opposing the three King-level Immortal. Those three were no kind people; daring to show such an attitude was tantamount to courting death. He might as well take advantage of the benefits that were offered to him.

It's precisely because they want him to treat them like one of their own that we should treat him like one of our own.

Man Luo smiled and nodded, "The core of the Virtual Universe Company is extraordinary. The internal competition is intense, and every bit of strength is extremely valuable. You must remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and concentrate on your cultivation in order to go far on this path."

"Most of the Core Member who join each Genius Battle are like falling meteors, unable to Eternal Existence. I hope you can be different from them."

Lin Yan could tell that he was sincere, so he stood up and bowed slightly. "Lin Yan thanks Mr. Man Luo for his guidance."
