The Nine Sword Venerable Takes Action
After breaking through to the World Lord Level, Yang Wu briefly experienced the wonder of the World Energy, then connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe, preparing to test his strength in the training ground.
When Yang Wu connected to the Virtual Universe Network through the Intelligent Life Chi Yan, the 'Virtual Universe Network Receiver' immediately sensed that he had broken through to the World Lord Level.
Therefore, the Virtual Universe upgraded Yang Wu's identity and authority from 'Domain Lord Level Primal Secret Region Member' to 'World Lord Level Primal Secret Region Member'.
The list of Core Member the Primal Secret Region within the Virtual Universe Company is not classified at a very high level.
Therefore, with Yang Wu's status elevated and the list changed, many Immortal God and super beings became aware of it.
"His Highness Yang Wu has already broken through to the World Lord Level?"
"My God, how long has it been since the Universe Peak Genius Tournament? His Highness Yang Wu has already broken through?"
"Normally, Core Member of the Primal Secret Region would stay at the Universe Level stage for thousands of years and at the Domain Lord Level stage for tens of thousands of years. His Highness Yang Wu broke through to the Domain Lord Level before the Universe Level Qualification Battle, and before this Domain Lord Level Qualification Battle even started, he broke through to the World Lord Level. It's truly terrifying!"
"However, why did Prince Yang Wu break through so quickly? Does he not plan to challenge the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a Domain Lord Level Primal Heavenly Mountain? That's worth 3 billion points!"
"Indeed, with Prince Yang Wu's cultivation speed, if he stays at the Domain Lord Level for several thousand years, he should have a chance to break through the Domain Lord Level Primal Heavenly Mountain, right?"
"What do you know? The cultivation speed of World Lord Level is far greater than that of Domain Lord Level. After His Highness Yang Wu breaks through to the World Lord Level, his cultivation speed will definitely be even more astonishing. Moreover, a genius like His Highness Yang Wu will definitely be able to conquer the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain in the future. That's worth 100 billion points. What are the 3 billion points reward of the Domain Lord Level Primal Heavenly Mountain compared to that?"
"One hundred billion points, that's one hundred billion Hunyuan Unit... My wealth accumulated over countless years is now only a little over one hundred million Hunyuan Unit!"
Although Yang Wu has only been cultivating for a few hundred years, he is extremely famous among the Human Race and has always attracted a lot of attention.
Therefore, news of his breakthrough to the World Lord spread like wildfire in a very short time, and countless familiar Immortal God gathered together to discuss it.
On one of the hillsides of Thunder Island, a waterfall cascades down like a river, crashing into the vast lake below.
In the middle of the lake is a small island, several kilometers in diameter, where dozens of figures are talking.
"Yang Wu's cultivation speed is really too fast! Maybe in another 100,000 years, he will be able to stand with us!" A stunningly beautiful woman wearing a purple robe exclaimed with a smile.
Halfway up the mountain is the circle of Universe Venerable level within the Virtual Universe Company. These people, as powerful beings, are constantly contributing to the Human Race, so they naturally have a sense of superiority and aloofness towards the 'Immortal God'.
But now, these people dare not underestimate Yang Wu, a young man who has just broken through to the World Lord Level.
"Indeed!" another burly man with six arms exclaimed in equal amazement, "I'm afraid it won't be long before another new Universe Overlord emerges from my Virtual Universe Company lineage! Perhaps, he will become the fifth Universe Master of my Virtual Universe Company lineage!"
"Universe Master? That's too much! There are so many Universe Overlord among our human race, yet who has actually become Universe Master? Even the Lord of Tian Shi, wasn't he stuck at the very last step?"
"Yes, Universe Master isn't something that can be achieved simply through talent!"
"Difficult! There are thousands of Universe Venerable among our human race, but how many are Universe Master?"
It seemed that the words 'Universe Master' had touched a nerve with the surrounding Universe Venerable, who all voiced their opposition.
However, amidst this outcry, there was one voice of agreement.
"That's not necessarily true!" A handsome man with six pairs of wings said, holding a wine cup. "Yang Wu's talent is indeed extraordinary. I remember when Universe Master Youhou rose to power, his cultivation speed at the Domain Lord Level was somewhat slower than Yang Wu's!"
"The Universe Master Youhou?" Many Universe Venerable changed color.
Universe Master Youhou is the most recent Universe Master to break through in the lineage of the Virtual Universe Company. Although it is said to be the most recent breakthrough, hundreds of millions of epochs have already passed.
When Universe Master Youhou was at the Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, and World Lord Level, he passed through the Primal Heavenly Mountain, and eventually became the supreme Universe Master.
"Look, the Nine Swords are coming!"
"It's the Nine Swords."
"Nine Swords is really lucky this time. He got a huge advantage in this year's Genius Battle!" Dozens of Universe Venerable looked up and immediately saw Nine Sword Venerable, dressed in a blue battle robe, flying over as a streak of Flowing Light.
Thunder Island is a gathering place for the strong.
However, even among the powerful, friendships are based on their level, and this applies to all Universe Venerable as well.
As High Universe Venerable, the Nine Sword Venerable had a relatively short cultivation period, and thus made many friends among Universe Venerable.
"Nine Swords, come, sit down!"
"Nine Swords, weren't you exploring the secret realm with Kandeli, Qinglong, and the others? What brings you here?"
"You're not here to brag about taking on a good disciple, are you?"
These Universe Venerable were all quite enthusiastic.
The Nine Sword Venerable was already quite powerful and well-liked, and now with a disciple like Yang Wu who has great potential, he is naturally even more popular.
"Hahaha! I just happened to be lucky enough to host this year's Genius Battle!"
The Nine Sword Venerable smiled and walked towards the crowd, then looked at a burly man in Black Armor, about eight meters tall with extremely thick arms, and said, "I'm here to find Leiming!"
"Looking for me?" asked the burly man in Black Armor, Venerable Leiming.
"Haha..." The handsome Venerable Blood Wing, with six pairs of wings, laughed and said, "'Blacksmith,' I heard that when Yang Wu first arrived in Chaos City, you and Nine Swords appeared together to take on disciples?"
"So what?" Venerable Leiming glared, then turned to Nine Sword Venerable and said, "Nine Swords, what do you want with me?"
Among the many Universe Venerable present, Venerable Leiming and Venerable Blood Wing were the most powerful.
Because their strengths were similar, the two had developed some acquaintance and often joked with each other.
"Let's talk in your palace!" Nine Sword Venerable said to Venerable Leiming with a smile.
"Oh?" Venerable Leiming immediately showed a hint of interest.
"Everyone, I'll be right back!" Venerable Leiming drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and then left with Nine Sword Venerable.
Inside the temple of the Venerable Leiming.
The figures of Nine Sword Venerable and Venerable Leiming suddenly appeared.
"Nine Swords, speak, what do you want from me?" Venerable Leiming asked with a smile.
Although he didn't succeed in taking on a disciple back then, it was ultimately Yang Wu's own choice, and Venerable Leiming didn't hold a grudge against Nine Sword Venerable because of it.
"I want to forge two Heavy Treasure!" the Nine Sword Venerable said with a smile.
"Oh? It seems you've had a very fruitful trip to the secret realm!" Venerable Leiming said with a smile. "Are you planning to forge Domain Type Heavy Treasure? With your current strength, if you could have a Domain Type Heavy Treasure to complement your abilities, your power would likely increase significantly!"
"Where would I get so much wealth?" The Nine Sword Venerable said with a wry smile, "I just exchanged a top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor from you 100,000 years ago, where would I get the money to forge Domain Type Heavy Treasure?"
"This is for my disciple. A Heavy Treasure spear and a Heavy Treasure Armor will suffice, but both must be fire-attribute!"
"Prepared for that brat Yang Wu?" Venerable Leiming exclaimed in surprise, "Nine Swords, you're really willing to spend so much!"
These two Heavy Treasure were nothing in the eyes of Venerable Leiming, but that was because he was a rare weapon refiner with countless years of accumulated experience.
However, for a Universe Venerable like Nine Sword Venerable had only recently broken through to the next level, two Ordinary Heavy Treasure were already considered a great fortune.
"Yang Wu's talent is so amazing, as his teacher, I should naturally prepare a gift for him!" Nine Sword Venerable exclaimed.
In fact, the Nine Sword Venerable originally intended to prepare a top-tier Heavy Treasure weapon for Yang Wu after this secret realm adventure.
After all, when Yang Wu became Lei Ming's disciple, he refused Venerable Leiming of treasures.
However, Yang Wu's cultivation speed was simply too fast!
Only a few hundred years had passed, and he had just finished exploring a small part of the secret realm with Kandeli and Venerable Azure Dragon when Yang Wu had already crossed the Primal Heavenly Mountain, Domain Lord Level realm.
Left with no other choice, the Nine Sword Venerable could only forge two Ordinary Heavy Treasure.
"Fortunately, Yang Wu is not far from the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge!" Nine Sword Venerable thought to himself, "Once he reaches the King-Level comprehension, I imagine my teacher will bestow upon him even more precious treasures!"
"Nine Swords!" Venerable Leiming exclaimed, "Many people are saying that you, Nine Swords, were incredibly lucky to have taken Yang Wu as your disciple!"
"But what I want to say now is that Yang Wu is extremely fortunate to be able to become your disciple!"
Upon hearing this, the Nine Sword Venerable laughed even more heartily, "Leiming, don't say that. If Yang Wu had been able to become your disciple back then, the gift you gave him would probably have been far more precious than mine!"
"That's different!" Venerable Leiming shook his head. "Fine, this time I'll let you pay with Hunyuan Unit!"
"Really?" The Nine Sword Venerable's face lit up with joy.
For Universe Venerable, most of the treasures that can be purchased with points and Hunyuan Unit are no longer of much use to them. Therefore, their transactions are mostly conducted using the clan's Heavy Treasure points, Supreme Treasure Point, or barter.
Venerable Leiming's ability to get Nine Sword Venerable to pay using Hunyuan Unit was indeed a great advantage for him.
After all, within the clan, Heavy Treasure Points can be exchanged for Points and Hunyuan Unit, but Hunyuan Unit and Points cannot be exchanged for Heavy Treasure Points.
"Hmm!" Venerable Leiming nodded and said, "The Heavy Treasure Spear costs 0.8 Heavy Treasure Points, and the Armor costs 3.2 Heavy Treasure Points. You only need to pay me 40 trillion Hunyuan Unit in total!"
"This..." The Nine Sword Venerable was stunned for a moment.
It's true that within the clan Heavy Treasure can be exchanged for ten trillion Hunyuan Unit, but with Venerable Leiming, it's generally twelve trillion Hunyuan Unit that are needed to exchange for one Heavy Treasure Point.
Even when many of Venerable Leiming's friends asked him to forge Heavy Treasure, they could only pay in Hunyuan Unit at most, but the ratio would not be reduced.
Seeing that Nine Swords Nine Sword Venerable hesitated, Venerable Leiming said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if it's forty trillion Hunyuan Unit, I'll still make a profit, as long as you don't tell anyone!"
"Then thank you very much Leiming!" Nine Sword Venerable said gratefully.
After exchanging his top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor for the top-tier treasure armor, Nine Sword Venerable indeed had very few resources left, so he did not refuse again.
"I do have a fire-attribute Heavy Treasure Armor here, but I don't have Heavy Treasure spear!" Venerable Leiming said with a smile, "Here's what we'll do: wait for me for ten years, and then come to Chaos City to retrieve the treasure!"
"Alright!" Nine Sword Venerable replied hastily.
Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain.
Inside the study of Yang Wu Manor in the Primal Region.
Yang Wu, who knew nothing about what the Nine Sword Venerable had done, gently tapped the virtual screen in front of him and began applying for Nutrient Pod used by World Lord Level.
Drop!
"Your Highness Yang Wu, are you requesting that the Nutrient Pod be sent to Chaos City?" A beautiful, blue-haired woman in a white robe appeared on the screen, her expression respectful and her voice clear and melodious.
"Yes," Yang Wu nodded and said, "Send the Nutrient Pod here as soon as possible."
Different positions mean different levels of authority.
If it were an ordinary Primal Secret Realm Master-level member, it wouldn't be so easy to discuss something like sending a nutrient capsule, let alone personally delivering it to Chaos City.
But for a genius like Yang Wu, it's a completely different story. Not only would they deliver him to Chaos City, but they would also deliver him directly to the Outer-Region Battlefield.
"Yes!" the blue-haired woman replied respectfully.
Yang Wu immediately hung up the communication request.
Chaos City, in Yang Wu's Cultivation Residence.
Inside the lounge.
"The staff at Virtual Universe Company are quite efficient; they delivered this Nutrient Solution to me in just half a day!"
Yang Wu looked at the enormous, ancient-style Nutrient Pod in front of him and sighed.
"Master, you are now the most outstanding genius among the Human Race, so the staff naturally dare not neglect you!" Chi Yan's voice rang in Yang Wu's mind.
Now, several hundred years later, after absorbing endless knowledge in the Virtual Universe through Yang Wu's authority, Chi Yan has truly evolved into Intelligent Life.
If one could obtain a precious Evolution Heart, then one would be no different from a true Machine Race life form.
Whoosh!
The Nutrient Pod door opened automatically, and Yang Wu walked directly inside and lay down.
The cold, Green Coin Nutrient Solution instantly enveloped Yang Wu's entire body. Streams of vital energy rapidly seeped into his body through his skin. This life-giving energy, after penetrating his cells, continuously evolved Yang Wu's muscles, bones, and internal organs...
Yang Wu's skin became tighter, his bones stronger, his muscle fiber density higher, and his explosive power increased.
Normally, it takes hundreds of thousands of years for a powerful being to evolve from the First Stage Realm Lord to World Lord ninth level. However, with the help of this incredibly precious Nutrient Solution, Yang Wu was able to complete this evolution in just a few months.
