After Yang Wu left the Nine Sword Venerable's temple and his consciousness returned to reality, the staff of the Virtual Universe Company stationed on the Wuchen Continent had already arrived in Yang Wu's territory.

Then, Yang Wu, led by Field, the Guard Army Leader, arrived at a reception room.

At this moment, three Black-robed Steward were waiting in the reception room. When they saw Yang Wu appear, they immediately came to greet him.

Three black-clad envoys bowed respectfully to Yang Wu, and then the leader said gently, "Your Highness Yang Wu, the Virtual Universe Network has learned through your network connection device that you have reached the Domain Lord Level."

"According to company regulations, a few of us need to verify your breakthrough in real-world circumstances."

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded with a smile.

Although both Consciousness Sensing Helmet and smart Optical Computer can perform simple body checks as long as they are connected to the Virtual Universe.

However, these devices are all quite basic and their accuracy is not very high, so in order to confirm that the Core Member have made a breakthrough, the Virtual Universe Company still needs to check them in the real world.

After confirmation, Yang Wu was able to obtain the relevant permissions of Primal Secret Region Domain Lord Level member, and could apply for Domain Lord- level Nutrient Pod for physical evolution.

Soon, with the assistance of three Black-robed Steward, Yang Wu underwent various tests on his Origin Force, psychic abilities, and blood using a range of sophisticated instruments.

"After examination, we have confirmed that Your Highness Yang Wu has achieved a breakthrough!"

The head Black-robed Steward respectfully said, "Your Highness, all the verification information has been simultaneously transmitted into the Virtual Universe Network. Congratulations on your advancement to the Domain Lord Level!"

These three Black-robed Steward, who were able to serve the Primal Secret Region Member, were certainly considered well-informed within the Virtual Universe Company.

Therefore, they naturally learned that Yang Wu had passed the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

However, they simply could not imagine that this Universe Level genius, who had only left Chaos City less than a hundred years ago, was already able to pass through the twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Compared to such an astonishing Law Comprehension, Yang Wu's breakthrough to the Domain Lord Level seems insignificant.

After all, even the most talented Domain Lord Level members in the Primal Secret Region had only managed to pass the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.

"Thank you!" Yang Wu asked with a smile, "When may I apply for Nutrient Pod at the Domain Lord Level?"

Upon hearing Yang Wu's question, the leading Black-robed Steward quickly replied, "Your Highness, we have brought the Nutrient Pod. You can begin evolving your body at any time!"

Call!

Suddenly, a gray Nutrient Pod appeared out of thin air in front of Yang Wu and was placed directly in the hall.

"One more thing I need to remind Your Highness is that your Nutrient Solution quota far exceeds that of other Domain Lord Level geniuses, and is even enough to help hundreds of ordinary first-tier Domain Lord geniuses advance to the Domain Lord Ninth Stage!"

The head Black-robed Steward answered respectfully, but inwardly he was astonished.

Although he didn't understand Wei He though they were all at the first level of Domain Lord, some core geniuses required more Nutrient Solution for evolution than most geniuses.

However, since he took charge of this task at the Virtual Universe Company, the highest quota he has ever encountered has only been a little over ten times the normal quota.

And what about this Prince Yang Wu before us?

That's a full hundred times the normal quota!

Unlike Nutrient Pod, which can be reused, Nutrient Solution, as precious treasures that drive the evolution of the body and soul, are entirely consumables.

The Nutrient Solution allows users to evolve to the peak of their current realm in a very short time, without any side effects, and is very different from normal energy.

For powerful beings at the Domain Lord Level in the Cosmic Nation, their cultivation and evolution rely entirely on their own efforts, with the most assistance of some Universe Crystal. Just to accumulate energy to the limit of the Domain Lord stage, it would take hundreds of thousands of years.

As for some incredibly wealthy and powerful individuals, they can use some precious treasures when accumulating energy, but even with their immense wealth, they simply cannot obtain treasures comparable to the precious Nutrient Solution provided by the Virtual Universe Company.

Moreover, the Nutrient Solution quota for a single ordinary Domain Lord Level Core Member is worth tens of thousands of Hunyuan Unit, which is completely comparable to the entire fortune of an ordinary Immortal God.

Yang Wu smiled and nodded, inwardly sighing with admiration.

Virtual Universe Company, as one of the Five Great Forces of the human race, is indeed incredibly wealthy and powerful.

Even if Core Member of the Endless Secret Realm break through to Immortal, they will ultimately find it difficult to bring much wealth to the Virtual Universe Company.

Needless to say, most of the Core Member would perish before Immortal.

In fact, even if every Genius Battle produces a King Rank expert, the Virtual Universe Company would still suffer huge losses!

Moreover, throughout humanity's long history, countless Genius Battle have been held, but how many have truly emerged King Level Immortal from these Genius Battle or Strongest Battle?

However, the Five Great Forces continue to spend vast amounts of resources cultivating human geniuses regardless of the cost.

The purpose is to cultivate in this way so that as many truly renowned super beings as possible can be born among the human race!

As long as a Universe Venerable is cultivated, the human race will not suffer too much loss; if a Universe Master can emerge, then it will undoubtedly be a huge profit.

As for the Universe Supreme Being, who is so rare and hard to find, that's rather ethereal and unrealistic!

"Besides the Nutrient Solution, there is something else I need to tell you, Your Highness!" the head Black-robed Steward continued.

Yang Wu stood aside and listened.

"According to the regulations of my Virtual Universe Company, Your Highness, once you reach the Domain Lord Level, you must be transferred to an outside post!"

The Black-robed Steward looked at Yang Wu and said gently, "According to convention, Core Member at the Domain Lord Level are usually assigned to their home Cosmic Nation. Your Highness, your home is the Ganwu Universe Country. Would you be willing to take up an important position in your home Cosmic Nation? If not, Your Highness can choose any other Cosmic Nation."

"I am willing to go to the Ganwu Universe Country!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

"Your Highness!"

The head Black-robed Steward respectfully said, "Because you are Primal Secret Region Member, your authority is extremely high. Therefore, your appointment requires a process. Generally speaking, the appointment will be completed within six months. Please wait patiently, Your Highness."

"Yes!" Yang Wu nodded.

He had nothing urgent to attend to during his return to the Ganwu Universe Country, so he didn't care how long it took for the appointment to be issued.

For Yang Wu, this was a perfect opportunity to digest what he had gained in the cultivation mission world and improve his own strength.

Some of his equipment needs to be replaced, and he also needs to purchase additional content for secret techniques such as <Space-Time Essays> and <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body>.

Auxiliary Metal Lifeform and plant life...

Yang Wu has too many things to do, including even purchasing new spaceships.

During his Universe Level cultivation missions, Yang Wu had become accustomed to the extremely advanced F-class spaceships provided by the Virtual Universe Company, and naturally looked down on his original E-class Spaceship.

In terms of speed alone, there is an insurmountable gap between the two.

The F-class spaceship equipped by Virtual Universe Company can typically reach speeds of 50 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe.

The E-class Spaceship that Yang Wu had previously purchased only reached a top speed of 15 times the speed of light.

Besides these, there are many other things to do.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Yang Wu's mind.

"Your Highness, the matter is settled, we will not disturb you any longer." The three Black-robed Steward bowed respectfully, then transformed into three streaks of Flowing Light and left the hall.

After the three staff members left, Yang Wu sat in the main seat, looking at the Nutrient Pod left behind by the three in the main hall, and pondered in his heart.

"Back then, I was only a ninth-tier Universe Level being. It was only through the Auxiliary Metal Lifeform 'Kashi' that I gained power comparable to Domain Lord. Coupled with my astonishing Law Comprehension, I was able to fight against a sixth-tier World Lord!"

"But once I evolve to the peak of the Domain Lord Level through the Nutrient Pod, my basic strength alone will be comparable to that of an ordinary World Lord Third Stage, except that I won't have World Projection!"

"If I were to add my incredibly astonishing Law Comprehension, even Peak World Lord who has gained the recognition of the Law would probably be no match for me!"

Peak World Lord have gained the recognition of the Law can usually pass through the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge, but Yang Wu passed Heavenly Bridge the Twelfth level.

The vast difference in Law Comprehension the Law, coupled with the fourfold Amplitude Secret Technique of the second level of <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body>, should be enough to make up for the hundredfold gap in the foundation.

"If Kashi can evolve to the ninth level of the World Lord..." Yang Wu thought with anticipation, "If I borrow Kashi's power, I'll probably be able to rival even the most ordinary Immortal God!"

Generally speaking, for Auxiliary Life like Kashi that can completely merge with the user, the power mobilized by the user can reach up to a hundred times their own strength.

In this Primal Universe, a hundredfold is often the limit. This includes physical exertion, the Body Amplitude, and the Soul Amplitude...

After Yang Wu reached the Domain Lord Ninth Stage, combined with his Life Gene which was up to forty times greater, he could indeed mobilize the power of an ordinary ninth-level World Lord.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the Metal Lifeform Kashi being able to evolve to the Peak World Lord!

For a moment, Yang Wu was in a good mood, and then a wisp of his consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe Network.

Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain, Primal Region.

Inside the study of Yang Wu Manor.

"Chi Yan, compile all the gains I made during my previous cultivation missions and mark their value. I need to know exactly how much wealth I have now before considering what items I need to buy," Yang Wu ordered, sitting directly at his desk.

"Yes, Master!" the little red dragon on Yang Wu's shoulder immediately replied.

As soon as Chi Yan finished speaking, a virtual screen appeared in front of Yang Wu, displaying all of Yang Wu's achievements in recent years.

Since Yang Wu left the Xueluo Continent, he has completed nine cultivation missions, the lowest of which were all dangerous. In addition, he has gained some extra rewards, so Yang Wu's wealth is now quite astonishing.

Yang Wu remained calm as he looked at the content on the screen in front of him.

The first thing you'll see is how you earn points.

After Yang Wu spent 470,000 points to purchase numerous remnants of cosmic life forms to nurture his first Clone, he never spent any more points.

At that time, Yang Wu had about 640,000 points remaining because he had completed the hidden quest in the Xueluo World.

Yang Wu earned a total of 95,000 points from the six Dangerous Level Mission within the Primal Secret Region.

In the Dead Star mission world, Yang Wu earned 730,000 points. Of these, 300,000 points were mission rewards, and the remaining 430,000 points came from Yang Wu sale of Origin Crystal and Origin Gem.

Within the Virtual Universe Company, these Origin Gem, like the Xueluo Crystal, are classified as restricted items and cannot be distributed outside the company.

Therefore, apart from keeping some Origin Gem for himself and Qian Shui of the Taichu Secret Realm, Yang Wu sold the rest to the Virtual Universe Company.

In the next leg of the Mizong Galaxy, Yang Wu earned 500,000 points.

In the Purgatory Abyss mission world, Yang Wu earned a full one million points.

In addition, Yang Wu successfully crossed three levels of the Heavenly Bridge, earning nearly 360,000 points, bringing Yang Wu remaining points to a staggering 3.325 million.

Such a large accumulation of points is probably beyond what even the Domain Lord Level who have cultivated for tens of thousands of years in the Primal Secret Region could achieve.

If one were the Domain Lord of the Taichu Region, they probably wouldn't have been able to accumulate so many points.

Of course, compared to points, Yang Wu's gains in other treasures were also astonishing.

Because he had no other income, Yang Wu's savings in the Universe First Bank were reduced to just over three thousand Hunyuan Unit.

However, the many treasures Yang Wu obtained in the cultivation mission world were of immeasurable value.

The six Purple Flame obtained from 'Purple Flame Island' are worth 300,000 points, but since they can be given away, Yang Wu naturally wanted to keep them.

Furthermore, the various secret techniques in the Feixian World, worth millions of points, and the Sky-Stepping Boots obtained from the Jiuqu Star, are also unsellable.

The precious material obtained from the 'Dead Star' is worth three million Hunyuan Unit.

The various precious materials obtained in the Mizong Galaxy are worth five million Hunyuan Unit.

"It seems that, aside from some unsellable treasures and secret techniques, all I have left to use is a little over 11 million points!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Although exchanging Hunyuan Unit for Points is a privilege only Immortal God possess, Yang Wu had already become the Lord of Longxing, so his current privileges within the Virtual Universe Company were naturally astonishing, probably comparable to those of Peak King Level expert.

Eleven million points!

Such astonishing wealth even surpassed that of Yang Wu's teacher, Jinguang Marquis.

After all, Jinguang Marquis only broke through to Immortal tens of thousands of years ago, so he probably didn't accumulate much wealth.

Unfortunately, even such astonishing wealth was nothing special in Yang Wu's eyes.

"Over ten million points are enough for other purposes, but it will be very difficult to purchase <Space-Time Essays> and <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body>!" Yang Wu frowned inwardly.

Given Yang Wu's current Law Comprehension, if he only buys the first four volumes of "Space-Time Essays," he will probably only be able to use them for a few years.

Moreover, Yang Wu had already mastered the second level of the <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body>, so naturally he wanted to purchase the third level as well.

However, the first five volumes of "Space-Time Essays" and the first three levels of "Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body" alone are each worth ten million points.

Yang Wu simply couldn't afford to buy them all, let alone the other treasures Yang Wu planned to acquire.

In fact, Yang Wu's current predicament is also related to the Time Simulator in his mind.

If it weren't for Yang Wu's astonishing progress in the last two simulations, he probably wouldn't need to purchase the follow-up secret techniques for these two sets of secret methods at all.

Especially the <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body>, even a peerless genius of the Universe Level would need at least a thousand years to master the first level.

Such a long period of time is enough for them to slowly accumulate wealth.

But what about Yang Wu? After only a few simulations, he directly mastered the second level!

This has directly led to his current financial difficulties!

"It seems I really need to get the Locke God Water from Panxi as soon as possible!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Once Yang Wu obtains the Locke God Water from Panxi, all his wealth-related problems at the Domain Lord level will be resolved.

Thinking of this, Yang Wu felt a sudden sense of clarity.

"So, what I need most right now is actually an F-class spaceship!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Nowadays, whether it's buying secret manuals or evolving Auxiliary Life, Yang Wu's wealth would be stretched thin.

Owning a high-speed spaceship is essential for him at this stage, as it would allow him to spend less time on his journey.

"Then it's decided!" Yang Wu didn't hesitate any longer. "If it's just about buying F-class spaceship, I'll have a lot more resources at my disposal!"

With this in mind, Yang Wu immediately contacted the acquisition personnel within the Virtual Universe Company to sell all the precious materials he had obtained in the mission world.

After half a day of verification and review, Yang Wu's account within the Virtual Universe Company gained an additional 8.14 million points.

Because Yang Wu now has extremely high authority, the proceeds from selling the materials were actually higher than Chi Yan had estimated.

Yang Wu sat at his desk, constantly browsing the virtual screen in front of him.

The treasure vault contained a dazzling array of spaceships; there was nothing the Virtual Universe Company couldn't make, only things he couldn't imagine.

In the end, Yang Wu spent seven million points to customize two F-class spaceship.

The reason Yang Wu ordered two spaceships was because he considered the promise he made to his senior brother Natie, when he left the Ganwu Universe Country.

Yang Wu had once said he would send the other party an F-class spaceship.

Of course, if Yang Wu didn't have enough money, he might have to wait a while, but now that he was about to obtain Locke God Water worth billions of Hunyuan Unit, he naturally wouldn't be stingy with an F-class spaceship.

Consider it a wedding gift for my senior Natie.

Of course, less than two hundred years have passed, and the relationship between Natie and the Domain Lord Qiniya, has not progressed to that point yet.

Taking into account Natie's preferences, Yang Wu directly chose a saucer-shaped spaceship for her, made entirely of Chi Hun Copper Mother.

Yang Wu, on the other hand, chose a dark, triangular spaceship built from the Guiyan Stone Mother.

In addition, Yang Wu spent 900,000 points to purchase various treasures that were enough to perfectly evolve the Shaluo Flower to the Peak World Lord.

As for Kashi, it would take nearly ten million points to perfectly evolve to the World Lord stage, so Yang Wu could only wait until he obtained the Locke God Water before purchasing the relevant treasures.

To Yang Wu's surprise, just as he was purchasing spaceships and various precious materials, King Longyu, a subordinate of the Nine Sword Venerable, suddenly appeared at his manor in the Primal Region.

"Yang Wu!"

A gentle voice echoed throughout the entire manor, reaching everyone's ears. Yang Wu, who was in the study, immediately flew out.

"Hmm?" Yang Wu looked up and saw King Longyu, dressed in azure armor, walking in carrying a silver-white briefcase in one hand.

"King Longyu!" Yang Wu bowed slightly.

"Yang Wu!" King Longyu raised the briefcase in his hand and said softly, "His Venerable has instructed me to bring you a gift!"

"A gift?" Yang Wu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Let's talk about this in the study!" King Longyu said with a smile.

Inside the study.

King Longyu handed the briefcase directly to Yang Wu and gestured for Yang Wu to open it.

Yang Wu placed the briefcase on the desk, gently opened it, and exclaimed in surprise, "<Space-Time Essays>?"

Inside the suitcase were five neatly stacked gold books, each about fifty centimeters long, forty centimeters wide, and of varying heights.

On the cover of each manual are four simple words in Universal Language: "Space-Time Essays".

These four simple characters seem to encompass the entire universe.

Yang Wu had previously purchased the first three volumes of "Space-Time Essays," and immediately recognized these five secret manuals as the first five volumes of "Space-Time Essays."

"It is indeed <Space-Time Essays>!" King Longyu's voice was like the chirping of a hundred birds, bringing a sense of comfort to the listener, "The Venerable was worried that you didn't have enough points to exchange for <Space-Time Essays>, so he ordered me to deliver these first five volumes!"

"This..."

For a moment, Yang Wu was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

If it were an ordinary Core Member of Primal Secret Region Universe Level, they probably wouldn't be able to buy the first five volumes of <Space-Time Essays>. Even Yang Wu would need to spend most of his accumulated points to do so.

However, the Nine Sword Venerable directly ordered someone to send over the first five volumes of the secret techniques.

Although ten million points are nothing to the Nine Sword Venerable, they are extremely precious to Yang Wu, a mere Domain Lord.

Seeing Yang Wu's reaction, King Longyu nodded inwardly.

"Yang Wu has recognized the Venerable's high regard for him, and he has not failed the Venerable's careful guidance all along!" King Longyu thought to himself.

"Yang Wu, the Venerable also instructed me to deliver a message to you!" King Longyu said softly.

Yang Wu looked at the other person.

"The Venerable One instructed you to cultivate diligently and strive to comprehend the fifth level of the Space-Time Essays as soon as possible!"

"This disciple will certainly strive to cultivate diligently!" Yang Wu said with utmost seriousness.

Upon hearing Yang Wu's assurance, King Longyu smiled and glanced at him before disappearing.

Looking at the manual before him, Yang Wu felt immense gratitude, even though he was about to acquire a huge fortune.

"I will always remember this kindness from my teacher!" Yang Wu thought to himself.
