I pulled my scattered thoughts back.

Yang Yu arrived at the lounge, connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe, and saw that Ai Chen's communication number was lit up, so he sent a video request.

Wow~

Virtual Universe Yuxiang Mountain Public Region.

Dressed in white, Ai Chen, resembling a holy angel, appeared in the hotel's private room.

"Brother Yu!"

Ai Chen shouted with joy.

"It's been so long since I've seen you. I feel like you've gotten even busier since you left the Initial Universe, you seem even busier than me!"

Ai Chen pouted, a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"Ahem, well, I've been busy with Cultivation Mission lately. I just finished a very difficult, Desperate Level Mission not long ago, and then I've been in seclusion cultivating and digesting what I gained there."

Yang Yu said embarrassedly.

Although Ai Chen is currently meditating in Chaos City, he sends him emails very frequently.

Unfortunately, Yang Yu was in the Abyss World at that time, so he could only reply to emails when he had time. The two of them could only meet a handful of times like they are now.

"Hmm," Ai Chen blinked her beautiful big eyes.

"Since that's the case, then I'll forgive you."

"But Brother Yu, you said you completed a very dangerous, Desperate Level Mission. How dangerous was it? You weren't injured, were you?"

Feeling Ai Chen's concern, Yang Yu's smile widened. "It is indeed very dangerous. You'll understand when you leave Chaos City and start taking on Cultivation Mission. I took on the number one ranked, the Desperate Level Mission."

"Don't worry, I was very careful and didn't get hurt. But in the future, Xiao Chen, you must not be careless when you accept Cultivation Mission. It's best to start with simpler missions and wait until you have enough experience and trump cards before taking on Desperate Level Mission."

"Yes!" Ai Chen nodded vigorously. "I know, Brother Yu, you don't need to worry."

"That's good. We'll see how things go then. If I haven't broken through to the Domain Lord Level by then, I'll take you on a Desperate Level Mission when the opportunity arises, so you can gain more experience."

Yang Yu still seemed a little uneasy.

Recalling the dangers of the Abyss World and Magic Mountain, Yang Yu decided to postpone the time for his Human Original Body to break through to the Domain Lord, and instead complete a Desperate Level Mission with Ai Chen first.

Otherwise, Yang Yu really wouldn't feel comfortable letting Ai Chen take the risk.

Anyway, Yang Yu is currently cultivating constantly with his Zhuliuyin Clone and Demon Dragon Clone.

The Human Original Body's breakthrough is a little later will not have a significant impact.

"Hehe, Brother Yu ~"

When Ai Chen heard that Yang Yu was willing to take her on an adventure, her eyes immediately crinkled into crescent moons with joy.

"Don't mention it. I'm going to take on Cultivation Mission anyway, so we can just take the same one."

Yang Yu said with a smile.

While Yang Yu and Ai Chen were chatting.

The contact numbers of Luo Feng, Hong, and Dong Nanbiao also lit up.

Seeing this, Yang Yu simply called the rest of them over as well.

They chatted together for a while, but after Yang Yu went to the Blood Luo World, he didn't have such a leisurely time.

A group of people who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

They sat in the lavish restaurant, enjoying delicious food and chatting about their recent lives.

During this time, Yang Yu also shared many of his experiences and insights from his Cultivation Mission.

I heard that Yang Yu had recently completed Desperate Level Mission.

Luo Feng and the others, eager for adventure, all had their eyes shining.

However, after understanding the dangers of the Desperate Level Mission, they looked at each other and knew that they absolutely could not be careless.

Virtual Universe Company doesn't cultivate geniuses in a greenhouse.

If you're not careful, it can really kill you.

After making sure they had memorized Yang Yu's experience, the group resumed their cheerful conversation.

Half a day later.

The gathering then came to an end.

During this time, Yang Yu also answered many of the people's questions about cultivation.

Coincidentally, Luo Feng was also studying the <Floating Blood> Secret Technique during this period, trying to comprehend the first set of Sword Technique and grasp its first essence.

Seeing this, Yang Yu offered some guidance based on his situation.

Luo Feng exclaimed that he benefited greatly from it.

Consciousness returns to reality.

Yang Yu first checked all the equipment and, after confirming that there were no problems, then connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and went to the 'Cultivation Mission' module in the backend management.

I accepted the "Blood Luo World" quest here.

Blood Luo World Cultivation Mission:

1. Obtain one Blood Luo Crystal (a specialty of the Blood Luo World Blood Luo Crystal World, which cannot be found anywhere else in the universe). Success will earn you 10,000 Points.

2. Obtain the title 'Blood Warrior' and receive the 'Blood Luo Medal'. Success will grant 100,000 Points. (Note: 99.5% of those who accept the Blood Luo World quest will complete the first quest.)

Completing either task signifies the successful completion of the Cultivation Mission.

"Beep~"

"Please confirm acceptance of the Blood Luo World Cultivation Mission."

"Beep! Connection successful."

"Please fill in your departure time. The Virtual Universe Company will arrange a spaceship to take you to the Blood Luo World."

"Today!"

Yang Yu smiled and clicked on the departure date to set it to that day.

"The Blood Luo World is located within the Taichu Secret Realm, which is quite far from here."

Yang Yu looked at the mission information and thought to himself.

Yang Yu then patiently reviewed the mission information again to ensure it matched his memory of the Original Work. He also spent some time learning dozens of common indigenous languages of the Blood Luo World and made sure that his weapons and equipment would not cause any trouble. After that, he waited in the manor for the spaceship to arrive.

Half a day later.

A Golden Spaceship slowly came to a stop above the manor.

A group of people flew out of the spaceship; they were the staff members who were there to take Yang Yu to the Taichu Secret Realm.

"Greetings, Your Highness Yang Yu. My name is Luo Sen, and I'm here to escort you to the Blood Luo World."

Luo Sen was a young, lean male Immortal, slightly shorter than Yang Yu, but his aura was not weak. Behind him were nine World Lords.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Luo Sen." Yang Yu smiled and nodded to the other party.

The group then boarded the spaceship.

Several months later.

"Your Highness, immediately initiate Universe Shuttle and return to the Primal Universe."

Luo Sen said with a smile.

At the same time, a countdown to the shuttle began to play in the spacecraft's control room. Ten seconds later...

The entire Golden Spaceship began to tremble slightly, but everything quickly returned to calm; the spaceship had arrived at its destination.

"The External Scenery Virtualization," Luo Sen said.

Then Yang Yu's eyes lit up.

The surrounding scenery changes, revealing the outside world.

"So beautiful," Yang Yu exclaimed.

A thin mist hung in the air, and various fragments of Void dust appeared beautiful and dreamlike.

In the far distance stood an incredibly tall palace, which was suspended entirely in the Void.

"This palace is called the Tian Shi Palace. Some of our Virtual Universe Company's top experts are cultivating here and are also responsible for monitoring the Blood Luo World."

Luo Sen explained.

"Not far from the Tian Shi Palace, there is a large area that has been cleared, enough for a spaceship to accelerate its Universe Shuttle."

"The Tian Shi Palace, for surveillance? Is it like the Star Prison Palace, which suppresses and monitors the Abyss World?" Yang Yu asked curiously.

"Yes." Luo Sen nodded.

"The one who oversees the Tian Shi Palace is none other than the renowned Tian Shi Palace Master of our Human Race. His strength is comparable to that of the Star Prison Demon Lord. The two of them, along with the other Ancestor Tree Venerable, are among the most powerful Universe Overlord of our Human Race. Their strength is so formidable that it strikes fear into the hearts of countless Alien Race."

Luo Sen said proudly.

His expression was filled with awe and pride.

"In this Blood Luo World, anyone who flies out will be discovered in a very short time. If they are one of our people, they will naturally be taken away safely. If they are natives of the Blood Luo World, their fate is generally not good."

"Your Highness, I'll leave you here."

Luo Sen said with a smile.

"This place isn't far from the Blood Luo World; Your Highness, you'll have to travel there yourself by spaceship."

"Okay, Luo Sen, Mr. Rosen." Yang Yu smiled and nodded.

Wow!

The hatch opened.

Wearing purple Battle Armor and War Boots, carrying a shield and War Blade, and with Moyun Vine vines covering the bottom of his suit, Yang Yu flew directly out of the spaceship into the Void.

"The Tian Shi Palace." Yang Yu stood in the Void, glanced at the huge palace in the distance, and then waved his hand, Machine Race Spaceship appeared beside him.

Enter the spaceship.

"Ship camouflage simulation, simulate ordinary meteorite fragments," Yang Yu ordered.

"Yes, Master."

Instantly, the Machine Race Spaceship's spaceship transformed, quickly becoming what appeared to be an ordinary-looking dark gray meteorite fragment, and then flew rapidly towards the Blood Luo World at an astonishing speed.

Standing in the control room, Yang Yu looked ahead.

In the distance lies an enormous continent, suspended in the Void, shrouded in Cloud Layer.

This is the Blood Luo World!

"It will enter the outer Cloud Layer in 3 hours."

"Hmm." Yang Yu nodded slightly.

The Blood Luo World has welcomed another extraterrestrial.

Three hours later.

The Machine Race Spaceship, its exterior simulating a dark gray meteorite fragment, finally plunged into the outermost Cloud Layer of the Blood Luo World.

"There are quite a few powerful individuals in the Blood Luo World. Although my current strength is no less than that of ordinary immortals, it's best to keep a low profile at the beginning."

Yang Yu ordered the spaceship to halt, then flew out of the hatch, waved his hand to store the spaceship in his World Ring, and then, dressed in Purple Battle Suit and wielding War Blade made from local materials of the Blood Luo World, plummeted downwards at high speed.

"The gravity of this Blood Luo World is quite strong, almost the same as the Abyss World. It would take about Star Level to completely counteract the gravity and take off."

Yang Yu sensed the gravity of the Blood Luo World and quickly determined its state.

Then, a powerful Mental Force swept outwards, confirming that there was no danger nearby.

In fact, for countless years, the natives of the Blood Luo World have discovered that they cannot fly beyond the eighteen layers of clouds.

Since the beginning of recorded history, no powerful individual who has ever flown out of all the clouds has ever returned alive.

This fact is both cruel and true.

This left those Universe Level, or what the Blood Luo World called Cloud Level powerhouses, in utter despair.

But there's nothing we can do. Ever since humans occupied this place, it has become a source of Blood Luo Crystal and a training ground for the core geniuses of various major forces.

After falling for more than ten minutes, the appearance of the Blood Luo World finally came into Yang Yu's view.

A seemingly endless plain appeared before Yang Yu's eyes.

Meanwhile, scattered glimpses of Fierce Beast and natives of the Blood Luo World can also be seen on the plains.

The natives of the Blood Luo World are very similar to humans in appearance, so Yang Yu doesn't need to disguise his appearance this time. He just needs to be careful not to blatantly take out his technological weapons.

It's actually fine to take it out.

With the current strength of Zhuliuyin Clone, even if Immortal Expert hidden in the Blood Luo World for countless years appeared, Yang Yu would be confident that he could break through with his heaven-defying Talent Secret Technique, even if he was no match for him.

After all, Yang Yu's Zhuliuyin Clone soul has now been strengthened to the Immortal Level, and its will has reached the King-level. When it uses the three time-related Talent Secret Technique, as long as the opponent has not reached the Venerable, it really cannot pose a substantial threat to Yang Yu now.

However, Yang Yu wouldn't be too arrogant. If he really provoked Venerable Level old monster, it would be too much of a loss to perish here.

After all, Yang Yu's purpose in coming here was simply to collect more Blood Luo Crystal and find Ancient God Ruins to modify his Demon Dragon Clone, fusing as many Blood Luo Crystal as possible.

"Bang!"

Yang Yu finally crashed onto a dark blue boulder.

Ahead, the plains stretched as far as the eye could see.

"The mission information provided by the Virtual Universe Company is too brief; they don't even know the exact location here. It seems we'll have to ask someone for directions."

Yang Yu immediately took off, randomly chose a location, and flew there at top speed.

After flying for most of the day, a caravan that looked like a merchant group finally appeared ahead.

Landing slowly in the distance, and putting away his weapons, Yang Yu walked towards the caravan.

Judging from his appearance alone, Yang Yu looked harmless, just like a teenager who had run away from home.

A moment later.

Yang Yu arrived at the front of the caravan.

He politely asked a burly man with a full beard and strength at the Star Level 9:

"Hello, I am a traveler from afar. May I ask where the nearest city is?"

Upon seeing the strangers who had suddenly appeared, the caravan members all showed wary expressions, especially the burly man with a thick beard at the head, who was as if facing a formidable enemy, his hand already on the War Blade tucked at his waist.

Because he couldn't sense the gentle and handsome young man's aura at all!

This means that the opponent's strength is either that of an ordinary person or far exceeds one's own.

The fact that the other party could appear so casually in the wilderness, seemingly without a care in the world, clearly indicates that they are no ordinary person.

This shipment of goods was specifically requested by the Lüqiu Family; if anything goes wrong, they couldn't afford to compensate even if they were all killed.

He couldn't help but be nervous.

"Forehead"

Seeing how nervous the other person was, Yang Yu helplessly spread his hands, "I meant no harm, I was just asking for directions, you don't need to be so afraid."

Perhaps seeing that Yang Yu truly meant no harm, or perhaps realizing that fear was futile, the burly man with the thick beard finally spoke.

"The nearest city is ten days' journey north. It's the main city of 'Helian Territory.' You can get answers to any questions you may have there. As for us, we have important matters to attend to and cannot properly entertain you now."

Seeing that the other party was not friendly, Yang Yu didn't think much of it, nodded, and then walked towards the due north direction.

After Yang Yu's figure completely disappeared in front of him.

The caravan members finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Perhaps that boy really was just asking for directions. Are we being too tense?" said a younger man in the group.

"Whether he was genuinely asking for directions or had ulterior motives is none of our business. This shipment is of utmost importance, and we cannot afford to be careless."

The burly man with a thick beard said solemnly.

The direction he pointed in wasn't wrong, it was just a lord's city that was quite far away.

As for the nearest one, it's the place they're heading to, requiring them to travel northwest for three days.

However, the bearded man didn't want any unnecessary trouble, and naturally didn't want Yang Yu, a stranger, to travel with them.

If Yang Yu is a spy from a rival family of the Lüqiu Family, then this is bad news.

Unaware that he had taken a longer route, Yang Yu continued to wander through the wasteland of the Blood Luo World.

We walked for most of the day.

The strongest creature that appeared within Yang Yu's Mental Force range was only at the Star Level; there wasn't even a single enemy attacking him.

This made Yang Yu realize that Danger Level Mission were indeed much safer than Desperate Level missions.
