Astonishing Wealth

In the Virtual Universe, halfway up Thunder Island.

Nine Swords Temple.

In the spacious hall, Yang Wu and the Nine Sword Venerable sat facing each other.

After conquering the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain, Yang Wu originally planned to try his luck at the Heavenly Bridge.

Although the points earned by the Heavenly Bridge are far less than those earned by the corresponding Primal Heavenly Mountain, for Yang Wu, it's better than nothing.

However, just as Yang Wu was about to head to the Heavenly Bridge Plane, he suddenly received a call request from his teacher, the Nine Sword Venerable, so he went directly to the Nine Sword Venerable's temple.

"Yang Wu!" The Nine Sword Venerable's eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and the shock on his face had not yet disappeared. "You have cultivated for less than a few hundred years, yet you have already passed through the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain. Such talent is truly unheard of!"

Before Yang Wu ventured into the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain cultivator, only the Lord of Longxing constantly guided him, understood his strength.

As for the Nine Sword Venerable, he was unaware of Yang Wu's recent improvement in strength, which is why the Nine Sword Venerable found it all the more unbelievable.

The scene of Yang Wu becoming a disciple is still vivid in his mind, but in the hundreds of years since, this disciple has brought him too many shocks.

Before leaving Chaos City, he had already passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge, becoming an extremely rare Black Warrior in the Xueluo World. Within hundreds of years, he had successively conquered Three Primal Heavenly Mountains at the Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, and World Lord Level...

These unbelievable events unfolded right before the Nine Sword Venerable's eyes.

"This time, I went to the Outer-Region Battlefield, and the trials of life and death have indeed accelerated my progress considerably!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

Yang Wu naturally wouldn't tell anyone about the existence of the Time Simulator, so he could only push his progress through the trials of the Outer-Region Battlefield.

Of course, although his progress during this period was somewhat incredible, others could barely accept it because of his previous performance.

"I know, the God Slayer King!" the Nine Sword Venerable said with a smile, "You've stirred up quite a storm on the Seventh Battlefield Beyond the Realm recently! However..."

Immediately, the Nine Sword Venerable's expression turned serious. "The greater your fame, the more powerful individuals you will attract in the future! Perhaps those top experts on the Outer-Region Battlefield have already set their sights on you!"

"Although your strength is formidable, you are still only World Lord, and your personal defense is no match for a true King Level Immortal! If you attract the pursuit of powerful figures, even with your talent for Clone, you might still perish!"

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu nodded earnestly.

He knew perfectly well that the Nine Sword Venerable had said these words entirely for his own good.

Moreover, after traversing the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain, his wealth increased significantly, so he wouldn't lack resources for a while.

Therefore, Yang Wu had already decided to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time, and then consider whether to continue accumulating resources after the next simulation.

Seeing that his disciple was still able to heed his advice, the Nine Sword Venerable felt much relieved.

What he feared most was that Yang Wu would become arrogant and complacent because of his incredible cultivation speed, and would not listen to his advice.

Fortunately, although Yang Wu possessed extraordinary talent, his character was equally remarkable.

"Now that you've passed through the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain being, are you planning to try and cross the Heavenly Bridge?" the Nine Sword Venerable asked.

"Hmm!" Yang Wu nodded and said, "This disciple was just about to head to the Heavenly Bridge Plane, but after receiving Master's call request, I immediately rushed over!"

"Let's go later!" the Nine Sword Venerable said calmly.

"What does the teacher mean?" Yang Wu asked, slightly puzzled.

"The news that you have passed through the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain, has already been ordered to remain a secret by the head of my Virtual Universe Company!"

The Nine Sword Venerable explained, "Therefore, within our Human Race, the weakest among those who know that you have traversed the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain, is Universe Venerable. The news simply won't spread!"

"But if you were to attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge, your cultivation speed would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar among the Human Race!"

"Moreover, your terrifying cultivation speed is something I've never heard of before. If word got to the Zerg Race or other Alien Race, they would kill you without hesitation!"

"Therefore, why not wait several thousand years before attempting to cross the Heavenly Bridge? That way, even if your talent remains astonishing, it won't cause such a huge uproar as it has now!"

Yang Wu was slightly taken aback after hearing what the Nine Sword Venerable said.

He never expected that the Chaos City Leader would issue a secret order for him.

However, considering his talent, this treatment is acceptable.

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

"Haha!" Nine Sword Venerable laughed and said, "When you chose to fuse with the Star Bead, I was planning to advise you to give up."

"But now that I think about it, if you hadn't fused with the Star Bead, it would have been a waste of your talent!"

"Teacher, you flatter me!" Yang Wu said gratefully. "If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to obtain the Clone Technique!"

The reminder from the Nine Sword Venerable was indeed very important; otherwise, he might never have thought of seeking the Clone Technique from the Lord of Longxing.

"I wasn't exaggerating!" The Nine Sword Venerable shook his head and said with a smile, "Once you've nurtured Clone that suits you and broken through to the Immortal, your strength won't be much weaker than mine!"

The Nine Sword Venerable looked at Yang Wu expectantly.

Among the Immortal God of the Human Race today, the strongest is only at the level of King Zhenyan, which is barely comparable to Universe Venerable who has just broken through and does not have Heavy Treasure to protect him.

However, once Yang Wu nurtures a Special Life Clone with thousands of times more Life Gene and breaks through to Immortal, its basic strength alone will be hundreds of times stronger than that of the King Zhenyan with ten times more Life Gene. In addition, with the Ultimate Secret Technique he created, his strength will be comparable to that of Intermediate Universe Venerable without any problem!

"I will certainly work hard and not disappoint you, Master!" Yang Wu said earnestly.

For him, the combat strength of Intermediate Universe Venerable was far from enough.

It should be noted that Luo Feng's peak combat power at the Immortal stage was comparable to that of a Top Overlord.

After bidding farewell to the Nine Sword Venerable, Yang Wu went directly to the temple of the Lord of Longxing.

For Yang Wu, although 100 billion points was a lot of wealth, it was still far from enough to buy the treasures he wanted.

The largest establishment in Hong Alliance City, Universe Treasure Hall, is Lord of Longxing.

Therefore, Yang Wu naturally had to ask his teacher for a favor.

After learning of Yang Wu's purpose, the Lord of Longxing simply handed him a Gold Card, which would grant him a 50% discount when shopping at the Universe Treasure Hall.

In fact, if any of Lord of Longxing's other disciples had come to him about something like this, Lord of Longxing wouldn't have been angry, but he certainly wouldn't have given away such a Gold Card.

But Yang Wu was somewhat different!

Firstly, Yang Wu possesses extraordinary talent and the potential to become a pillar of the Human Race in the future;

Secondly, and most importantly, Yang Wu is currently in a phase of rapid growth in strength, Lord of Longxing is naturally willing to help him to enhance his ability to survive.

In any case, although the treasures in the Universe Treasure Hall are precious, they are insignificant to the Universe Master!

And so, Yang Wu, carrying the Gold Card bestowed upon Lord of Longxing, once again arrived at the Universe Treasure Hall in Hong Alliance City.

Yang Wu certainly hadn't forgotten that his initial purpose in coming to the Hong Alliance was to sell his spoils of war for a high price.

The spoils he obtained from hunting down powerful Alien Race would only be worth 11 billion points if sold directly to the Virtual Universe Company, even if the acquisition department staff didn't dare to deliberately lower the price.

According to the information collected by Chi Yan, even if Yang Wu purchased those spoils at the lowest discount in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury, it would still require a full 12 billion points.

Of course, even those who have reached the King Rank level generally cannot enjoy the super low discounts that Yang Wu offers, so they will only need to spend more points.

However, after Yang Wu presented the Gold Card bestowed by the Lord of Longxing, he no longer needed to worry about these things.

The staff in charge of managing Universe Treasure Hall easily solved the problem, directly selling Yang Wu's spoils for a high price of 18 billion.

Such a price is almost comparable to the normal selling price in various Cosmic Nation of humanity.

Yang Wu wasn't particularly curious about such a price, but after inquiring briefly, he learned...

Hong Alliance City home to countless clans, and even among the powerful clans, acquiring resources is quite difficult, let alone for ordinary and weaker clans...

Therefore, in other groups, the price of some precious resources can far exceed that of Human Race!

"18 billion Hunyuan Unit!" Yang Wu thought to himself, "This channel is indeed incredibly important!"

This exorbitant price is even higher than the price Yang Wu paid for it in the Virtual Universe Company's treasure vault!

In other words, if Yang Wu exchanges treasures in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury and then sells them in Hong Alliance City, he can make a fortune.

Unfortunately!

The Virtual Universe Company has long since issued strict orders prohibiting Core Member from selling any items exchanged in the treasure vault. Not only Yang Wu, but even those Universe Venerable do not have such authority!

Moreover, for geniuses like them, Virtual Universe Company is purely about nurturing talent and has no intention of making money. That's why there are so many discounts, and even the points they earn are internal rewards from within the company.

However, using this for speculation is absolutely forbidden!

After selling his spoils, Yang Wu came to a strange golden suit of armor that was over eight meters tall.

The blueprints next to this golden armor contain detailed information.

The Gold Armor originally belonged to a powerful expert at the Limit King Level within the Yan God Race. It was captured by Universe Venerable from the Human Race during a large-scale clan war in the Outer-Region Battlefield.

However, this Gold Armor cannot change its size or be integrated into the body, but it can weaken both Soul Attack and physical attacks by more than 90%.

In addition, the detailed information also marked three fatal weaknesses of this Yan God Race Gold Armor.

The Gold Armor is completely solidified, making it difficult for powerful martial artists to unleash its full strength; the Gold Armor's size is fixed, requiring the user to re-condense their Divine Body before use, which significantly impacts their power; the face area on the helmet is exposed, making it impervious to Soul Attack.

Of course, these fatal flaws are not a problem for Yang Wu at all, because his Clone is a member of the Yan God Race.

Although the Yan God Race Clone cannot summon fragments of Soldier Armor, fusing with this complete King Armor should not be a problem.

"I'll buy this Gold Armor!"

After reading the introduction of the Gold Armor, Yang Wu spoke directly to a human woman with golden curly hair and a slender figure beside him.

The woman with golden curly hair had three star marks on her sleeves, indicating that she was a Limit King Level, King Canxin, who was also the deputy head of the Universe Treasure Hall.

After Yang Wu presented the Gold Card bestowed by the Lord of Longxing, King Canxin served Yang Wu continuously.

"Guest!" King Canxin said respectfully, "While this Gold Armor is indeed extraordinary, its flaws are also quite obvious. Perhaps you should reconsider?"

Although the guest before him was only a one-star expert, King Canxin was extremely respectful.

Because the Gold Card in the other party's hand was one that Universe Treasure Hall had not issued many times over the countless years, and even ordinary Universe Venerable were not qualified to obtain it!

But now, such an incredibly precious Gold Card has appeared in the hands of a one-star powerhouse. How could she not be shocked?

"No need to think about it anymore, I'm buying it!" Yang Wu said earnestly.

Seeing Yang Wu's resolute attitude, King Canxin stopped trying to persuade him and led Yang Wu directly to a Quiet Room.

"This is the purchase agreement for the Yan God Race's Gold Armor, overseen by the Virtual Universe System. It will take effect immediately upon both parties signing it."

King Canxin smiled and said, "After you return the payment to the Universe Treasure Hall will deliver the goods directly to your designated location. If we fail to deliver, we will refund your money and provide ten times the compensation."

The Gold Armor was priced at 5 billion Hunyuan Unit, but Yang Wu possessed Gold Card bestowed by the Lord of Longxing, and ultimately only spent 2.5 billion Hunyuan Unit.

After Yang Wu and King Canxin signed the agreement, Yang Wu directly entrusted the other party to deliver the Gold Armor to the Barracks Base No. 026 of the Seventh Battlefield outside the domain.

"I wonder if there's anything else the guest needs?" King Canxin continued with a smile.

The other party just received a huge sum of 18 billion Hunyuan Unit, so King Canxin naturally hopes that the other party will buy more items.

As for whether selling at half price would result in a loss, that's not something King Canxin needs to consider.

For the holder of the Gold Armor, the price of the goods is no longer of any significance.

"I also need some Auxiliary Metal Lifeform, treasures, to help Kashi break through to Immortal!" Yang Wu pondered, "The kind of plan that allows him to directly break through to the Peak King Level!"

"Peak King Level?" King Canxin was slightly taken aback, finding it hard to believe.

She has cultivated for countless years, and now she has only nurtured an Auxiliary Plant Life of the Elementary King Level!

Even if she went bankrupt, it would be very difficult to cultivate an Auxiliary Metal Lifeform at the Peak King Level.

However, thinking of the Gold Card in Yang Wu's hand, King Canxin felt a sense of relief.

Immediately, King Canxin waved his hand, and a phantom screen appeared in mid-air.

"Guest, these are the treasures needed for the Kashi Race's Metal Lifeform breakthrough. We have them in stock at the Universe Treasure Hall, but most of them are on the second floor!"

Sorry, I've been busy with a lot of trivial matters these past few days, so the plot has been moving very slowly. I'll try my best.
