"So that was it!" Lian Qingzhu's face lit up in realization. Then she hurriedly said with a cheerful smile, "Qingzhu congratulates Ancestor on your breakthrough!"
Lian Chi Tong echoed her, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Ancestor!"
Faced with the congratulations of his two descendants, Lian Luo merely smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, as though he had remembered something, he asked, "Qingzhu, Chi Tong, what class of spaceship are you currently using?"
"Could it be..."
Upon hearing that, Lian Qingzhu and Lian Chi Tong immediately thought of that possibility, and both began to speculate inwardly.
"Ancestor, the spaceship I use is E9-class!" Lian Qingzhu said respectfully.
"Mine too!" Lian Chi Tong said, his eyes wide.
Lian Luo smiled and nodded. In the universe, alloys could only reach E9-class at most. F-class metals and above were naturally formed and exceedingly rare throughout the universe. Moreover, compared to E-class alloys, F-class metals were vastly more difficult to process.
The materials were incomparably precious, and the processing difficulty was outrageously high!
As a result, F-class spaceships in the universe cost not merely thousands of times more than E-class spaceships.
Even an E-class spaceship equipped with an ultra-powerful propulsion system and a planet-destroying cannon capable of threatening an Immortal God was worth only a few thousand Chaos Units in total.
Most Immortal Army Masters used spaceships of that level as well.
As for F-class spaceships, even the cheapest cost over a million Chaos Units. That figure exceeded the entire fortune of an Immortal Army Master. Thus, generally speaking, only Marquis Immortals or Soul Masters like Hu Yanbo possessed F-class spaceships!
Over the years, Lian Luo had fought on the Outer Domain Battlefield and killed more than twenty Marquis Immortals. The spaceships of those fallen Marquis Immortals had naturally fallen into his hands as well.
With a smile in his eyes, he looked at his two outstanding descendants. "I've gained some things over the years on the Outer Domain Battlefield. Among the spoils, I have several F-class spaceships!"
Upon hearing Lian Luo's words, both Lian Qingzhu and Lian Chi Tong became tense.
As an Immortal God, Lian Qingzhu naturally knew how precious F-class spaceships were. As for Lian Chi Tong, with his authority, he only needed to open the Virtual Universe Company's treasure exchange vault to easily see the price of F-class spaceships.
"You call me Ancestor, so I can't possibly give you nothing!" Lian Luo continued with a smile. "I'll bestow one F-class spaceship upon each of you! With F-class spaceships, you'll be safer when adventuring and exploring secret realms!"
"F-class spaceships!"
Upon hearing this, uncontrollable delight appeared on both their faces. They hurriedly shouted respectfully, "Thank you, Ancestor, for bestowing these treasures!"
"Mm." Lian Luo nodded with a smile.
With his current strength, two F-class spaceships naturally amounted to nothing. But for Lian Qingzhu and Lian Chi Tong, the value of these spaceships was probably greater than all their possessions combined. Naturally, they were overjoyed.
Afterward, the two of them spoke with their ancestor for some time before respectfully taking their leave.
Lian Luo finally turned his attention to the "Soul Suppressing Seal Secret Technique" and began studying this soul-defense secret technique.
As its name suggested, the Soul Suppressing Seal required the cultivator to condense their spiritual force or Immortal Divine Power into a soul seal. This soul seal would then serve as a vessel to contain their soul. In that way, for a soul attack to harm the soul, it first had to break through the soul seal!
To cultivate the first level of the Soul Suppressing Seal, the mandatory requirements were for one's divine body to reach the threshold of a Marquis Immortal and one's Law Comprehension to reach the Marquis Immortal level!
Lian Luo met these cultivation requirements!
Thus, after familiarizing himself with the entire secret technique, he began cultivating it within the Virtual Universe.
Being able to cultivate within the Virtual Universe was also a method unique to humanity!
For instance, when cultivating the "Soul Suppressing Seal Secret Technique," other Immortal Gods unable to use the Virtual Universe would have to be extremely careful at every step. A single mistake could damage their divine bodies, requiring enormous wealth to restore them.
But Lian Luo did not need to do that. He could cultivate and experiment repeatedly in the Virtual Universe, then begin cultivating in the real universe only once he had sufficient confidence.
There was no need for caution, nor any fear of injury. Naturally, his speed in cultivating secret techniques was astonishingly fast!
By the time he arrived at War Base No. 076, Lian Luo had already mastered the first level of the "Soul Suppressing Seal Secret Technique"!
No rush. I'll condense the soul seal a few more times in the Virtual Universe first! Lian Luo thought to himself. My success rate for condensing a soul seal is only around 92% right now. What's the difference between that and going in naked? Only once it reaches 100% can I cultivate it in reality!
Under the guidance of the War Base signal, the black streamlined spaceship slowly entered the enormous War Base!
What surprised Lian Luo was that because he had killed six Marquis Immortals during this outing, the Merit System had determined that he possessed strength at the King Level threshold. Therefore, the place arranged for his rest was no longer a manor prepared for ordinary Immortal Gods, but an island in the sea.
The War Base guide introduced it respectfully, "My lord, we've arrived. This island is your private island. During your stay, everyone else is forbidden from entering it."
"Oh?" Lian Luo looked up and saw a vast expanse of azure ocean ahead. Warm sunlight spilled across the water, making wave after wave glitter brightly.
The guide pointed at a small island spanning dozens of kilometers. At its center stood a massive palace, while the surroundings were covered in soft sandy beaches and planted with numerous trees.
This environment looked less like a battlefield and more like a leisurely vacation resort!
"Not bad!" A treasure worth dozens of Chaos Units flew before the guide. Lian Luo smiled and said, "Thank you for leading me here!"
The guide happily accepted the reward and said respectfully, "Thank you for your reward, my lord!"
Yet inwardly, he silently marveled, This lord is at least an Immortal God at the King Level threshold. Despite such immense strength, he is still so kind toward a mere World Master like me. He must be a kind person who loves peace!
"If you have no other instructions, my lord, I'll take my leave now," he said respectfully.
Lian Luo smiled and nodded. "Go on!"
Before this, the Merit System had already assigned him the necessary authority. This island had become his private territory.
Whoosh!
With a flash, Lian Luo landed on the island and casually wandered around it. At the same time, he looked toward an island not far from his own.
On the beach of that island, an Immortal God with a single horn on his head, black fur covering his entire body, and a height of over six meters lay sunbathing on a beach chair, dressed in a loose robe!
Sensing Lian Luo's gaze, the Immortal God opened his eyes and looked over. He greeted him with a smile, "A new neighbor! Welcome, welcome! My name is Baron!"
Lian Luo smiled and nodded. "My name is Ao Fu!"
He had already recognized that this Immortal God was human as well. Clearly, the War Base had deliberately assigned soldiers of each race together.
However, on the Outer Domain Battlefield, no one used their real name, and Lian Luo was no exception!
