Virtual Universe.

Countless planets form a vast galaxy. In this endless starry sky, the dazzling galaxy forms a vortex, and above this vortex, the incomparably majestic Mu Xing Divine Palace twinkles with starlight, a breathtaking sight.

This is the exclusive dimension of the Mu Xing Country Lord.

In fact.

The gathering place for the strong of the Virtual Universe Company is "Thunder Island", which is hundreds or thousands of times larger than Yu Xiang Mountain. All the immortals of the Virtual Universe Company generally live there.

However, Lin Yan's authority was insufficient to enter Thunder Island, so he could only go to the exclusive plane to meet the Mu Xing Country Lord.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Yan appeared out of thin air inside the main hall of the temple, looking at the deep hall where there was no one else. "Hmm?"

"Isn't the teacher here?"

He was about to send a message to inquire.

Suddenly—

The space shifted instantly. In just a moment, Lin Yan looked around and found himself in a quiet room. The furnishings were quite exquisite, elegant and simple, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

"Teacher," Lin Yan said respectfully.

A figure in white sat cross-legged, slowly opening his eyes. His gaze was like a vast starry sky, and the powerful aura he exuded was breathtaking.

She wasn't wearing that bright purple robe today, but rather a plain dress. Moreover, in the past, her face was always shrouded in a hazy mist, making it difficult to see clearly. This was the first time Lin Yan had seen the face of the Mu Xing Country Lord.

Actually.

At this level, beauty and ugliness are merely rudimentary concepts, but undeniably, simple words are insufficient to describe the unparalleled beauty before one's eyes.

The Mu Xing Country Lord stood up, his demeanor refined and otherworldly, his voice clear and crisp. "What good ideas are you up to now, you little rascal?"

"... Why did you decide to come see me today?"

Her words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Lin Yan felt ashamed. Was this really the kind of person his teacher saw him as?

Is that a beaver?

He thought about it again and realized that he probably... he really did not visit the temple unless he had a reason.

Oh my god!

That's a beaver, isn't it?

"Teacher, you've misunderstood me. How could I be such a person?" Lin Yan immediately retorted. "I've come to bring you good news."

"Reporting good news?" The Mu Xing Country Lord looked at him with some doubt, his eyes showing a hint of distrust.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She looked at Lin Yan carefully and smiled, "You actually gained the recognition of the Light Origin Law."

The Mu Xing Country Lord immediately noticed this.

Because Lin Yan had a mark on his forehead, the connection system automatically scanned it after connecting to the Virtual Universe. The change in the mark was detected and reflected on his body in the Virtual Universe.

Lin Yan usually consulted her about the Space Law, and she wasn't very clear about the extent of the Law of Light. So seeing that Lin Yan had actually gained the recognition of the Light Origin Law was quite a surprise to her.

"And it's a very high level of recognition, rarely seen even among World Lord peak. Your achievements in the Law of Light are also so high," the Mu Xing Country Lord exclaimed in amazement.

The Origin Law acknowledges that there are also distinctions of superiority and inferiority.

Taking the "Gold Law" as an example, Golden Sword Mark may form between the eyebrows, or a golden mountain mark may form... Different marks represent recognition in different aspects.

The strange black line mark between Lin Yan's eyebrows, resembling a closed eye, is a mark that appears only when one has cultivated the "change of light and darkness" to its extreme.

This is the most core and crucial part of the Light Origin Law, and his ability to do this is also closely related to his talent for "shadow".

Lin Yan humbly replied, "It's just a small achievement; you flatter me, teacher."

"During that lecture five years ago, I noticed that your progress in understanding was rather strange. Could it be that you entered the 'Ancestor God Tomb'?" the Mu Xing Country Lord asked.

"Yes, my disciple spent ten years studying the Totem Sacred Image there and has just left Viska Star." Lin Yan looked at her and nodded.

The Mu Xing Country Lord remained silent.

This guy is incredibly audacious.

As the sacred site of Viska Star, the "Ancestor God Tomb" is a place where most of the powerful figures gather, yet he dared to sneak in.

However... his ability to enter and exit smoothly and return safely must mean he has other secrets and methods.

Having such means is also part of one's strength.

"You must take care of yourself." The Mu Xing Country Lord looked at Lin Yan with concern in his eyes and nodded slightly. "This good news... well, I'm very happy."

"Ah?"

Lin Yan looked bewildered. "But teacher, I haven't even started speaking yet!"

"Didn't you want to tell me about your progress in Law Comprehension?" she asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Yan is currently only at the Cosmic level. Apart from the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone, there is nothing of value on Viska Star in her eyes. Apart from the Law Comprehension, what else is there that would make Lin Yan come here to "report good news"?

"Of course not," Lin Yan said respectfully. "I obtained the treasure by chance during a mission on Viska Star!"

"Oh?" The Mu Xing Country Lord let out a soft exclamation. Although these cultivation worlds were not exactly treasure lands, one could indeed gain some benefits if one had an extraordinary encounter.

It's rare for geniuses like these to receive valuable items during missions, but it's not entirely unexpected, especially since my disciple's abilities far surpass those of others.

Some of these items are so precious that they could be worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of Hun Yuan Unit. Even Marquis-level Immortal God would regard them as treasures, and calling them "treasures" is not an exaggeration.

"Tell me what you think," Mu Xing Country Lord said calmly.

Lin Yan's eyes were bright, and he smiled, "Then I will simulate it through the Virtual Universe, and please give me your evaluation, teacher."

Suddenly—

Before him, a shimmering blue light rose, its brilliance condensing into three fragments of a precious treasure of varying shapes and sizes, which floated in the air.

A broken cylinder the size of a palm, a crescent-shaped fragment of a blade, and a broken axe.

It exudes an ancient and rustic aura, as if it has existed for a very long time.

The Mu Xing Country Lord glanced over casually, then immediately paused in surprise.

"Um?"

She was speechless for a moment. Where did this come from?

She could immediately tell from the aura and the mysterious patterns on it that this must be a fragment of a great treasure. This thing was nothing to someone like the Mu Xing Country Lord, but what level was she? Universe Overlord!

In fact.

This would be considered a very precious treasure for any King Rank.

What's more, this person in front of us is only at the Cosmic Level Nine!

Even if the immortals on Viska Star were blind, they should know how precious this fragment of treasure was. How did it end up in the hands of their disciple?

That's outrageous!

In a cultivation world like Viska Star, where there are many powerful individuals, it is actually very difficult to obtain any precious items. This is because the natives of Viska Star have lived there for hundreds of millions of years, and there are many World Masters and Immortal Expert. If there were any treasures, they would have already been claimed by others.

With Lin Yan's strength, how could he possibly snatch food from the tiger's mouth?

If it were a matter of chance, obtaining a treasure worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of Hun Yuan Unit would be bizarre, but still somewhat understandable.

But...

I just don't understand this whole thing you've come up with!

Lin Yan went to Viska Star, and in just fifteen years, he not only made such great gains in the Life Gene Level and the Law Comprehension, but also left with three fragments of a great treasure?

You're taking both food and goods!

"Lin Yan, where... where did you find this?" The Mu Xing Country Lord was a little curious.

"My disciple possesses the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone, one of whose Talent Secret Method is 'Parasitism,' which allows him to differentiate into Soul Worm that Parasitism other life forms, creating them into Life Puppet. Teacher should also be aware of this," Lin Yan said respectfully.

The Mu Xing Country Lord nodded.

Human beings are not entirely unfamiliar with this Special Lifeform Green Line Devouring Worm.

"When I was in the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone, I was thinking of testing whether I could turn the Blood Demon Beast into Life Puppet..." Lin Yan said, "But after I turned the Blood Demon Beast into a puppet, I tried to sense it through the special Sacred Artifact Crystal inside its body, and I actually established a strange resonance with the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone."

"However... there were three places that felt a bit strange. I was curious, so I decided to investigate them, and that's how I discovered these three fragments of ancient treasures."

While listening to Lin Yan's story, the Mu Xing Country Lord used the Virtual Universe System to search for information about the Heaven Mending Divine General "Zhen Yan".

She knew the secrets of the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone, but there were some details she didn't know.

Soon.

"This should be a fragment of the treasure 'Divine Weapon Workshop'." The Mu Xing Country Lord examined it for a few moments. "The total value should be around 5 billion Hun Yuan Unit."

"Among them, this 'Sharp Blade fragment' is the most valuable. Its blade-like edge is intact. If it were sold, it could even be worth close to four billion Hun Yuan Unit."

"However... I suggest you keep it. It's very valuable. This 'Sharp Blade fragment' can be used directly as a telekinetic weapon. Moreover, if you can get the Virtual Universe Company to modify it in the future, it might be able to unleash some of the treasure's power in terms of attack power alone."

"The Mu Xing Country Lord spoke slowly."

She truly didn't know what to say; her disciple was incredibly lucky.

Most of the fragments of the top-tier domain treasure "Divine Weapon Workshop," which was shattered during the battle Lord of Ghost Marquis and the Heaven Mending Divine General, have been collected. However, in some places, the signals from the detection instruments are not very effective, and some fragments have been missed.

However, over the years, countless powerful individuals from Viska Star have trained in the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone, and almost all of them have been found.

As a result, he found the last three "fish that slipped through the net" so easily.

That's really good luck.

Lin Yan's eyes lit up when he heard these words from the Mu Xing Country Lord.

He looked at the deep blue Crescent Blade simulation projection in front of him.

I never expected this Crescent Blade to be so precious, its value far exceeding that of the other two items, including the broken axe.

Nearly four billion Hun Yuan Unit!

What an astonishing number!

And... why didn't I think of having Virtual Universe Company modify this Crescent Blade?

With the strength of Virtual Universe Company, it wouldn't be difficult to do this. Even if it's modified and far inferior to a real treasure, it would still be a significant trump card for Lin Yan.

"Thank you, teacher," Lin Yan said respectfully.

The Mu Xing Country Lord shook his head and laughed, "You said you came to bring good news, but you ended up coming here to help you appraise your treasures."

"Hmph." She snorted lightly and laughed, "I won't bother with you, so you may leave."

Then he saw that Lin Yan did not make any movement, his clear eyes were looking at him, and there was a faint smile on his lips.

"Um?"

The Mu Xing Country Lord immediately guessed what this guy meant.

She exclaimed in surprise, "That's not all?"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "If that's all, I wouldn't have bothered you, teacher."

The Mu Xing Country Lord frowned slightly and looked at him with some doubt.

A treasure worth 5 billion Hun Yuan Unit was described by Lin Yan as "just these"?

Did you go and dig up the ancestral grave of the Heaven Mending Divine General?

Then--

Before Lin Yan appeared a seemingly ordinary multifaceted spherical crystal, which instantly burst forth with dazzling light!

This is...

Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal?

The Mu Xing Country Lord looked at the multifaceted spherical crystal and immediately recognized what kind of treasure it was, falling into deep thought.

Is that a beaver?

That's definitely not a beaver!
