"That's enough!"
Hearing Lian Luo's promise, Blood Demon King finally breathed a sigh of relief. Smiling, he said, "Holy Heart King, then I won't disturb you any longer. If you return to the Ganwu Universe Country someday, be sure to visit my Dutuo Star Domain when you have the time. We can have a good drink together!"
Lian Luo smiled and nodded as well. "Alright, no problem! If I get the chance, I'll pay you a visit, Blood Demon King!"
Within the Dutuo Star Domain, on Blood Demon Star, inside the Blood Demon Palace—the most magnificent palace on the entire planet.
Blood Demon King, clad in crimson battle armor, sat high upon his throne. Most of his consciousness had returned from the Virtual Universe. Looking at the thousand-plus figures kneeling before him, he said indifferently, "You may all leave! Remember, do not cause any more conflicts with the Lian Family in the future!"
"Thank you, my lord, for sparing us from our crimes!" the thousand-plus kneeling figures said respectfully.
Very soon, Blood Demon King was the only one left in the Blood Demon Palace. Relief filled his eyes. Fortunately, this Holy Heart King had a fairly mild temperament and accepted my compensation!
In truth, he had naturally known about the conflict between his subordinates and the Lian Family. He had even secretly guided it. In his view, although the Lian Family had produced a Domain Lord-level genius like Lian Chi Tong, and seemed to have the Virtual Universe Company, Phantom Spirit King, King Ye Yue, and other forces behind them—
A mere Domain Lord was not worth his notice at all. After all, even among the geniuses of the Primal Secret Realm, very few broke through to become Immortals. Most of those who did merely became Marquis-level Immortals. Who knew how many ages had to pass before a King-level Immortal emerged?
Besides, as long as he did not target Lian Chi Tong himself, nor that Immortal disciple of Phantom Spirit King, King Ye Yue, Phantom Spirit King and King Ye Yue would not go so far as to intervene in this matter!
The Lian Family was not worthy of making them act!
Yet what he had never expected was that the Lian Family's ancestor, Lian Luo, had actually been revived through time reversal—and had even become a King-level Immortal!
The moment he learned this news, he panicked. Not only did he prepare gifts and personally visit to offer an apology, he also ordered his subordinates to capture everyone who had clashed with the Lian Family.
Just moments ago, he had already made preparations. If Lian Luo had been dissatisfied with his compensation, he would have directly executed those thousand-plus people to give Lian Luo an explanation!
It was not that Blood Demon King was cowardly or afraid of Lian Luo!
On the contrary, in his eyes, he was a High King-level Immortal, while Lian Luo had only just broken through to King Level. Even if Lian Luo was a King-level Immortal of the Five Great Powers, perhaps his combat strength was greater than Blood Demon King's—but only by a limited amount.
But what the hell was the point of being able to fight? The most important thing when making one's way in the world was having power and backing. Lian Luo was not only a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, but also Dry Witch Universe Master's disciple. How could he dare fight him?
"Fortunately, he accepted my compensation." But when Blood Demon King thought of what he had given away, his heart ached again. "One billion Chaos Units. With my strength and status, earning that much wealth would take endless ages!"
As a High King-level Immortal, Blood Demon King's entire fortune amounted to only a little over ten billion Chaos Units. One billion Chaos Units was already a tenth of his wealth.
"But as long as I've kept my life, it's fine. Money can be earned slowly!"
"One billion Chaos Units. Blood Demon King was certainly willing to part with it!" Lian Luo unceremoniously transferred all one billion Chaos Units into his own account and converted them into internal points of the Virtual Universe Company.
He then continued exchanging for the treasures needed to cultivate the second layer of the Star Prison Demonic Body in the company treasury. As for Hong Alliance City, the Nine Li clone directly canceled all the treasures it had purchased.
The Nine Li clone secretly lamented, When I get a refund, they don't ship the goods. It would be great if I could get a refund without returning anything!
Using points for the exchange, he ultimately spent only 100 million points to gather all the remaining treasures he needed. This left 900 million points in his account, while the Nine Li clone still had more than 500 million Chaos Units remaining.
"Next comes waiting! Once I cultivate the second layer of the Star Prison Demonic Body and create a pinnacle secret technique, I can go hunt down the alien King-level Immortals!"
The first figure to surface in the Nine Li clone's mind was King Huan Yu, the female alien King-level Immortal clad in azure armor. She had pursued him for so long that he remembered her clearly. "You'll be the first one I kill!"
After exchanging for all sorts of treasures, Lian Luo immediately went to see Dry Witch Universe Master's Teacher. At the same time, he replied to Sixth Senior Brother and the other friends who had sent congratulations.
Upon entering Dry Witch Universe Master's palace, he respectfully said, "Teacher, I have become a King-level Immortal!"
Dry Witch Universe Master looked at Lian Luo with satisfaction in his eyes. He laughed heartily. "Haha... Becoming a King-level Immortal means you haven't disgraced me at last. What are your plans next? Will you continue fighting in the Outer Domain Battlefield, or venture into Cosmic Secret Realms?"
Whether for cultivation resources or for better cultivation and breakthroughs, fighting and adventure were unavoidable. For King-level Immortals, they either ventured in the Outer Domain Battlefield or in Cosmic Secret Realms. That was why Dry Witch Universe Master asked this question.
My disciple broke through to King Level so quickly in the Outer Domain Battlefield. Having tasted the benefits, he should probably continue adventuring there, Dry Witch Universe Master secretly guessed.
Yet Lian Luo shook his head. "Teacher, I have already passed the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge and qualify for permanent residence in the Initial Universe. Therefore, I plan to settle in the Initial Universe and comprehend the laws."
"You want to remain in the Outer Domain Battlefield... No, you said you want to cultivate in seclusion in the Initial Universe?" Dry Witch Universe Master looked at Lian Luo in surprise, seemingly unable to believe his choice.
The Initial Universe possessed manifest Origin Laws and fifty-two Chaos Tablets containing the Great Dao. It was indeed suitable for laying foundations for those geniuses, but for an expert like Lian Luo, who had already become a King-level Immortal, it was not the best place to cultivate.
The places most suitable for his cultivation were dangerous locations such as the Outer Domain Battlefield and Cosmic Secret Realms. Only through life-and-death adventures could he repeatedly break through his limits and become a supreme existence capable of roaming the universe!
Dry Witch Universe Master really wanted to ask Lian Luo, At your age, how can you sleep... No, how can you dare to lie flat like this!
However, when he thought of how he had gone red-eyed trying to win back his losses, died three times in succession on Original Star, and ultimately become humanity's Chief Debtor, he did not ask after all. After a long while, he sighed softly. "Cultivating in the Initial Universe is not bad either. With Lord of Chaos City stationed there, it is absolutely safe."
"Yes, Teacher!" Lian Luo said respectfully. "The Outer Domain Battlefield is still too dangerous. I was only recently revived, so I should be more cautious."
With the Nine Li clone fighting and adventuring outside, there was no need for him to remain in the Outer Domain Battlefield. In any case, without burning his divine body or using supreme treasures, his true body's strength made it difficult to kill King-level Immortals. There was little point in staying in the Outer Domain Battlefield. It would be better to cultivate in the Initial Universe, using the manifest Cosmic Origin there to improve his cultivation.
That way, even if the Nine Li clone died, at most he would lose some treasures!
After bidding farewell to Dry Witch Universe Master's Teacher, who seemed to have been touched by something sorrowful, Lian Luo returned to his palace and summoned Lian Qingzhu. This descendant of his had previously sent him an email requesting an audience, so she probably had something she wanted to ask him.
