Venerables Fall Silent, Feng Wang Experts Weep
The last time I saw such an incredible scene felt like... it was the last time.
The Mu Xing Country Lord fell into deep thought.
The Cosmic Secret Realm of the Primordial Universe vary in their level of danger and the treasures they contain. However, even the worst new Cosmic Secret Realm are generally only accessible to World Master.
The Original Secret Realm... as one of the most important Cosmic Secret Realm for the human race, is extremely ancient and also extremely advanced.
When it was first discovered, this Cosmic Secret Realm was so dangerous that anyone below the level of "Venerable One" would almost certainly die if they entered. It contained all sorts of Exotic Treasure and once brought great opportunities to the human race.
Um.
Discovering a treasure worth only a few hundred billion Hun Yuan Unit in such Cosmic Secret Realm is naturally nothing out of the ordinary.
Beaver my foot!
In the Mizong Galaxy, or even Mizong Galaxy outer perimeter, other Cosmic level geniuses left penniless, yet Lin Yan found a metal vein worth hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit in just thirty years!
Is there any justice in this world?
A venerable person would fall silent upon seeing this, King Rank would weep upon seeing it.
The last time they found Supreme Treasure Fragment and Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal on Viska Star was already outrageous. And now, not long after, they've found the Star Tear Gold Ore Deposit in the Mizong Galaxy, with a total value... exceeding 40 billion Hun Yuan Unit!
It's roughly equivalent to all the wealth of Peak Feng Wang Expert!
Different levels of strength and status naturally lead to vastly different abilities to acquire wealth.
These are Peak Feng Wang Expert who can sweep away a large number of ordinary King Rank. Naturally, they possess immense wealth, and they also have incredibly long lifespans. It is through countless years of accumulation that they have acquired such assets.
However, Lin Yan has only been away from Chaos City for over fifty years, yet he has repeatedly made such amazing gains and accumulated such a large fortune so quickly.
The vast Cosmic God.
There are countless life forms in the universe, and of course, some will have Special Encounters.
However, the Mu Xing Country Lord, upon honesty, had never seen anyone with such an astonishing destiny as Lin Yan.
When have I ever seen such a wealthy, Cosmic level little guy?
Not to mention, Lin Yan also integrated the prototype of the top-tier Origin Supreme Treasure core material "Light Web Crystal", and possessed Special Life Clone called the Green Line Devouring Worm. Furthermore, the Beast God Crystal greatly enhanced his Life Gene Level!
These are things that Qian Wu measure.
Looking at Lin Yan in front of her, he had a calm and collected expression.
The Mu Xing Country Lord began to imagine. "Could it be... that this little guy is favored by the Primal Universe Will, just like the Ancestor God Cult Sect, which is why he was able to find those precious treasures?"
To others, the Primordial Universe Origin Will is simply the instinctive will that naturally forms from the operation of the laws of the Primordial Universe. However, due to certain special reasons, the Mu Xing Country Lord knows some deeper secrets.
If not favored by the Primal Universe Will, how could the Ancestor God Cult have monopolized so many treasures?
Could it be that Lin Yan was favored by the Primordial Universe Origin Will, which is why he had so many Special Encounters?
The Mu Xing Country Lord began to confirm. "Special Encounters? Which of the powerful beings in the universe doesn't have many encounters? There are many whose encounters are even stronger than Lin Yan's. However... judging from Lin Yan's cultivation time, he is at most two hundred years old, yet he has been able to obtain so many Special Encounters. This cannot be explained by simple luck."
Supreme Treasure Fragment, Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal, Star Tear Gold Ore Vein...
Who else would be confident they could find these things?
Once could be luck, twice could be luck, but when it happens repeatedly, it seems more like an inevitability.
However, this is certainly a good thing.
She had taken Lin Yan as her disciple for quite some time, so she naturally knew what kind of person he was.
To become a super strong individual among Myriad Races in the universe, one needs a combination of factors, including talent, resources, mindset, effort, opportunities, and even luck.
In the eyes of the Mu Xing Country Lord, Lin Yan was an extraordinary being in every respect!
All he lacks is time.
She thought to herself, "Perhaps my disciple is even more incredible than he appears."
The Mu Xing Country Lord was naturally pleased to see this scene. Lin Yan was her disciple, and it was a good thing that he could have such Special Encounters. The stronger he became, the better.
It could even be said that... once she tells the Chaos City Lord about these things, the human race will pay more attention to Lin Yan and invest more resources in him.
Luck and opportunity are also part of strength.
Take Lin Yan as an example. He was able to obtain so many treasures in this Original Secret Realm. If he were to become Universe Venerable and then encounter the opening of the Original Star, what would that be like?
The Mu Xing Country Lord unleashed his ultimate move. "The Original Star is the Core Land of the Primordial Universe, arguably the place closest to the 'Universe Origin place' in the entire universe. It contains countless Supreme Treasure, and even the most precious treasures are insignificant. If Lin Yan is truly favored by the Primal Universe Will, wouldn't he be like a fish in water there?"
Unlike the cultivation worlds in the Original Secret Realm, the Original Star nurtures countless treasures, and obtaining each important Supreme Treasure has a profound impact.
Moreover, beyond the Primordial Universe lies an even more vast and boundless Cosmic Sea, all of which are worthy of contemplation.
If she could think of it, the Chaos City Lord could naturally think of it too.
Lin Yan was born among the human race, rose to prominence in the Genius Battle, and became famous throughout Chaos City, shining brightly.
If he continues to encounter such extraordinary opportunities, and with the support and guidance of the human race, he may one day become a new pillar and powerful figure for the human race.
Lin Yan noticed that after reading the email, the Mu Xing Country Lord's gaze towards him kept changing.
"Teacher?" Lin Yan asked cautiously.
"Hmm." The Mu Xing Country Lord's expression softened slightly, and she responded softly. Since she already had a guess in her heart, she didn't press for details, but instead asked, "You've obtained such a precious treasure in the Mizong Galaxy. Has there been any change to your cultivation plan?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Teacher, are you asking me if I've decided to break through to the Domain Lord level?"
"Yes!" Mu Xing Country Lord nodded, looking at Lin Yan and saying, "The path of cultivation requires courageous advancement, breaking through all obstacles!"
"Others have remained at the Cosmic level for thousands of years because they simply lack the resources to break through. They can barely maintain their place in the secret realm at the Cosmic level, let alone compete with geniuses at the Domain Lord level!"
"But you are different. Even the geniuses at the Domain Lord level cannot put any pressure on you. There is no need for you to stay at the Cosmic level."
"Teacher, I can break through to the Domain Lord level at any time now," Lin Yan said with a smile. "However, I still want to go to the 'Purgatory Abyss'."
"The Purgatory Abyss..." The Mu Xing Country Lord frowned slightly. "I know your abilities, but the Purgatory Abyss ranks first among the Desperate Level Mission, and there's a reason for that. With your abilities, you also face the risk of perishing."
"I know," Lin Yan nodded.
The Purgatory Abyss.
The reason it has such a name, and is undoubtedly the most desperate place among all Mission World, is because the dangers it contains are indeed the greatest.
In the Primordial Universe, there were Six Great Peak Races.
The Four Great Peak Races— Human, Mechanical race, Zerg, and Demon Race— have adjacent territories, while the Crystal Race and Prison Race are located in remote areas.
The Prison Race are beings born in a perilous place called "Prison" in the universe. Whether they are Rock-type Lifeform, Energy-type Lifeform, or Flesh-type beings, as long as they are born in the perilous place "Prison", they are all Prison Race!
The Prison Race also adopted a laissez-faire approach towards its vassal clans, while secretly fueling their internal strife and causing bloody massacres within those clans. In some cases, entire races within the clans were even wiped out!
However, this bloody slaughter also gives rise to some super strong individuals, who are then absorbed by the "Prison Race".
And the "Purgatory Abyss" is also such a perilous place!
The beings born from it fight each other, with countless falling every moment. It is an extremely chaotic race, each one exuding endless evil aura, a trait shared by all beings born and raised in the Prison Race.
This is precisely why the Prison Race is extremely powerful in terms of individual combat strength.
The Cosmic level geniuses who accept the "Purgatory Abyss" mission must go to such a place and survive for a whole year, but... the average mortality rate is a terrifying 99%!
What does that mean?
Those who can enter the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company are unlikely to be mindless naives. Given the death rate of the Purgatory Abyss, those who dare to take on this mission are definitely elites, and they may already have experience in completing Desperate Level Mission.
He is a genius with absolute self-confidence!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen this task at all.
However, this did not prevent them from still dying in the Purgatory Abyss.
"Why?" Mu Xing Country Lord asked with great interest.
Lin Yan smiled and said slowly, "Because what my teacher just told me is that the path of cultivation requires courage to move forward and to break through all obstacles!"
"Whether or not you break through to the Domain Lord level, the path you are going to take will be one where you can't find any pressure from those geniuses. It won't work at the Cosmic level, it won't work at the Domain Lord level, and even at the most important and fiercely competitive World Lord level, I believe... it won't work either."
This is his confidence.
He should have had that kind of confidence.
Lin Yan never bothered to learn about the other members of the Virtual Universe Company, because in his view, his attention should never have been focused on those people.
"I believe that in the eyes of you powerful figures, teachers, those Secret Realm Qualification Battle are nothing but trivial matters. The real opponents are never in the Virtual Universe Company, but in the war between races. That is the true realm of the strong!"
Lin Yan's eyes were clear. "Disciple wants to see just how terrifying the incredibly dangerous 'Purgatory Abyss' and the chaotic and evil Prison Race really are."
The Mu Xing Country Lord looked at Lin Yan, a slight thought stirring in his heart. This little fellow was truly hard to dislike.
With a hint of a smile in her eyes, she said softly, "Since you've made your decision, then go and take the plunge."
Her expression turned slightly cold. "Your path is destined to be wider and more dangerous than others, Lin Yan... You must remember that the road to the peak is littered with blood and corpses. You must step on those bones to be qualified to become a strongman in the universe."
In fact, the reason why the Mu Xing Country Lord asked him to break through to the Domain Lord level was not because he thought Lin Yan had been in the universe for too long. Lin Yan had broken through to the Cosmic level less than a hundred years ago, which could not be considered a long time.
I'm just worried that Lin Yan will lose his sense of pressure in this environment.
Complacency is a terrible mindset; for Lin Yan, it was even fatal.
But Lin Yan didn't think that way.
Comfortable?
If all he wanted was comfort, his Superhuman Bloodline would only need to bask in the sun for ten thousand years to reach the World Master, and breaking through to immortality would not be difficult either.
In that case, one could live in seclusion in a certain star system as a local tyrant, and basically live like that forever.
Why bother having such thoughts after you've already decided to walk this thorny path?
He wasn't in a hurry to break through to the Cosmic level, mainly because there was still one more opportunity that hadn't been seized.
Every opportunity that Lin Yan can make good use of can have a profound impact on his cultivation path.
Without the "Light Web Crystal" and the "Green Line Devouring Worm," Lin Yan wouldn't be anything special now.
The Purgatory Abyss is ranked number one, so its secrets must be the greatest.
Besides, what Lin Yan said to his teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, was not a lie. The enemies he would face in the future would almost all be Alien Race. After breaking through to the Domain Lord level, he might encounter an Immortal level Zerg Mother Nest Divine Kingdom Teleportation to his face as soon as he showed his face.
Compared to those, the Purgatory Abyss is the most controllable situation.
Life and death experiences are an indispensable part of the process.
After dealing with the matters in the Mizong Galaxy, Lin Yan returned to the Wu Chen Continent in the Ninth Time-Space to rest.
In A World of the World Ring.
On a vast plain on land, there grows a towering tree, its entire body a deep turquoise, each leaf crystal clear, exuding a rich life force. The tree is tens of thousands of kilometers tall, incredibly majestic, its canopy spreading out like a canopy.
This is the complete form of the Tai Sui Tree Spirit.
High in the sky, Lin Yan stood suspended in mid-air, looking at the Tai Sui Tree Spirit in front of him. A purple leaf with strange veins appeared in his hand, floating and flying towards the towering tree in the distance.
"Waaah!"
The Tai Sui Tree Spirit communicated with Lin Yan, conveying its desire.
This purple, strangely veined leaf is called "Purple Hundred Vein Leaf". Lin Yan obtained a lot of valuable plant materials on the Tree Island in the Ruined Ancient God Temple, and the Purple Hundred Vein Leaf is the most precious among them. Its auction price is usually 2 million Hun Yuan Unit!
It is best suited for cultivating Immortal-level Plant Lifeform. Its main function is to fundamentally change the body structure. For Plant Lifeform like the Tai Sui Tree Spirit, it also enhances its defensive capabilities, and its strength will definitely skyrocket.
The reason it's only being used now is because Lin Yan only recently nurtured it to the World Lord peak, so using it now will have a better effect.
Boom!
The turquoise tree's Tree Crown swayed, completely absorbing the Purple Hundred Vein Leaf. Purple lightning began to surge rapidly across the Tai Sui Tree Spirit's body, and thick, gnarled veins seemed to grow from its trunk, constantly contracting and expanding.
Occasionally, a crackling sound could be heard.
The Tai Sui Tree Spirit, tens of thousands of kilometers high, emitted a strange purple halo. At the same time, special vein patterns grew on the tree trunk, and the crystal-clear, jade-like leaves trembled incessantly, turned yellow, detached from the branches, and then quickly regenerated.
The entire process continues continuously.
Lin Yan watched with a smile, then turned his head to the side, where suddenly, a very lush expanse of blood-red vines appeared behind him.
Splash...
The crimson vines, as translucent as blood jade, bloomed like raging flames, revealing chilling fangs. Black lines appeared on the flowers, forming simple, mysterious patterns.
Suddenly, many of the vines that covered the sea of blood quickly clung to Lin Yan's arm.
It conveys a deep sense of attachment, like a child's attachment to its parents.
Lin Yan gently stroked the vine leaves and smiled, "Sha Luo, you'll be fighting alongside me this time."
"Hehehehe..."
The blood-red flower revealed chilling, sharp teeth, its petals trembling as it tilted its head back, emitting an unpleasant laugh.
Lin Yan couldn't help but smile.
It seems to be the same as before.
