Bestowing a Treasure

The mountainside of Thunder Island is shrouded in mist.

On a huge rock on the edge of a cliff.

Yang Wu and the Nine Sword Venerable sat facing each other, watching the endless seawater crashing against Thunder Island, with streaks of lightning swirling in the distance.

"I've taken on a fine disciple!"

The Nine Sword Venerable exclaimed, "The renowned King Shenwei rushed over immediately after receiving the email!"

"If word gets out, my master will have even more face among the other Venerable!"

"A teacher is always a student's teacher!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

Yang Wu would never forget the help the Nine Sword Venerable had given him.

"Haha, from now on, I'll be basking in your glory!" Nine Sword Venerable laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu felt a sense of déjà vu. After thinking back carefully, he realized that Jinguang Marquis had said something similar before.

Yang Wu immediately replied, "It is my honor to be able to benefit from your kindness, Master!"

"Haha, that's good to hear!" The Nine Sword Venerable looked at the cluster of palaces at the foot of Thunder Island and continued, "Disciple, with your current strength, you could probably build your own palace right here on this mountainside!"

Thunder Island is a gathering place for powerful beings above the Immortal God of the Virtual Universe Company.

At the foot of the mountain dwell Immortal God, while halfway up the mountain resides the Universe Venerable.

Although Yang Wu is still at the Immortal God realm, his strength is already sufficient, so living halfway up the mountain is no problem for him!

Yang Wu smiled.

In the original story, when Luo Feng was building the temple halfway up the mountain, he was questioned by other Universe Venerable. But now that Yang Wu has demonstrated his strength, naturally no one will continue to question him.

"Rest assured!" the Nine Sword Venerable continued, "Although you are only at the Immortal God realm, your strength is incredibly astonishing. While this is somewhat of an exception, I doubt anyone else will stop you!"

Yang Wu's face remained calm; this was not his purpose in coming here.

"Teacher, after killing that King Feijing, I also obtained a treasure!" Yang Wu said very seriously.

"Oh? A treasure?" The Nine Sword Venerable was slightly taken aback, then said, "The King Feijing's status in the Northern Territory Alliance is in no way inferior to that of Universe Venerable. With such talent and strength, it's normal for him to receive a gift from a powerful figure in the Northern Territory Alliance!"

"This Supreme Treasure is a suit of armor..." Yang Wu began to explain the function of the armor to the Nine Sword Venerable in detail.

The armor left behind by King Feijing is called the 'Golden Shaking Hou King Armor', and it has three forms.

As long as the attack is within the Golden Shaking Hou King Armor's tolerance range, the first form can reduce the physical attack to one percent of its original strength, the second form can reduce it to one-thousandth, and the third form can reduce the attack's power to one ten-thousandth.

Of course, if the attack exceeds the Golden Shaking Hou King Armor's tolerance range, the weakening effect will be much smaller, and if the attack power is too strong, it will hardly be weakened at all.

Based on the Law Comprehension of the King Feijing, he can only activate the first form, so his defense is not particularly strong.

However, if this Supreme Treasure Armor were given to the Nine Sword Venerable, he could at least activate it to the second level. At that time, even a typical Universe Overlord would probably be unable to do anything to the Nine Sword Venerable.

"Teacher, I already have Supreme Treasure Armor to protect me, so this Golden Shaking Hou King Armor is of no use to me. I knew you were planning to get a Supreme Treasure Armor, and this Golden Shaking Hou King Armor is just right, so I'm giving it to you!" Yang Wu said very seriously.

"This..." Upon hearing that Yang Wu was going to give him the Supreme Treasure Armor, the Nine Sword Venerable was completely stunned.

In his view, even if Yang Wu possessed astonishing wealth, how many Supreme Treasure could he possibly have?

Even a Universe Overlord would covet such a priceless Supreme Treasure Armor; given his personality, how could he possibly accept such a precious treasure from his disciple?

"Yang Wu, I have received your kind words!"

"However, how precious is the Supreme Treasure Armor? Don't think that just because you obtained the Ancestral God Religion's treasure and killed that King Feijing, acquiring the Supreme Treasure is easy!"

"You'll understand when you've had more time. Even for a great Universe Master, obtaining a Supreme Treasure isn't an easy task!"

The Nine Sword Venerable picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "You have many Clones, and you'll need many Supreme Treasure in the future! You should keep the Golden Shaking Hou King Armor for yourself!"

Although the Nine Sword Venerable refused Yang Wu's request to give him the Supreme Treasure, his face was full of smiles.

How could a disciple be willing to give him such a precious Supreme Treasure Armor if not out of true respect for his teacher?

After all, Yang Wu had already become the Lord of Longxing and his own strength was already extremely powerful, so there was no need for him to curry favor with him!

"Master!" Yang Wu continued, "My many Clone already have Supreme Treasure Armor protecting them, so they don't lack this Supreme Treasure!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the Nine Sword Venerable was slightly surprised, but when he thought of Yang Wu's acquisition of the First Treasure Land the Ancestral God Religion Sect's treasure trove, he understood.

However, the Nine Sword Venerable still had no intention of accepting the Golden Shaking Hou King Armor that Yang Wu was offering as a gift.

"Yang Wu, although you already have plenty of Supreme Treasure Armor, you can still contribute the Golden Shaking Hou King Armor to your clan in exchange for other treasures!" Nine Sword Venerable continued to refuse.

"Teacher!"

Seeing that the Nine Sword Venerable kept making excuses, Yang Wu simply said, "When you bestowed upon me the Flame Dragon Armor and the God Slayer Spear, Master, I never refused."

"How can that be the same?" the Nine Sword Venerable thought to himself.

Back then, the Flame Dragon Armor and the God Slayer Spear, combined, were only worth a few Heavy Treasure Points, while the Golden Shaking Hou King Armor was worth nearly ten Supreme Treasure Point, which is tens of thousands of Heavy Treasure Points.

However, the Nine Sword Venerable knew very well that since Yang Wu insisted on this, he couldn't very well refuse any longer.

"In that case, I will accept the Golden Shaking Hou King Armor you have given me!" After some thought, the Nine Sword Venerable finally agreed.

There's nothing shameful about a disciple's gift. He was unwilling to accept it before only for Yang Wu's sake.

After the Nine Sword Venerable accepted his gift, Yang Wu chatted with him for a while before taking his leave.

Subsequently, Yang Wu used the God Kingdom Teleportation to hand over the Golden Shaking Hou King Armor to the Nine Sword Venerable.

Meanwhile, the Nine Sword Venerable was still exploring the secret realm with Kandeli and the Venerable Azure Dragon. After learning that Yang Wu had gifted the Nine Sword Venerable the Supreme Treasure Armor, the two of them looked on with envy.

"Nine Swords, you're incredibly lucky!" Kandeli exclaimed. "You've made the best choice in taking this disciple! I truly regret not competing with you back then!"

Even a Universe Overlord like him would have to expend endless effort to obtain such Supreme Treasure Armor.

But what about the Nine Sword Venerable? He merely took on a good disciple, and a Supreme Treasure Armor descended from the sky!

How could he not be envious?

As for the Venerable Azure Dragon on the side, he was even more astonished.

His background wasn't as powerful as the Nine Sword Venerable's, nor was his strength as great as Kandeli's. He didn't even possess a single Supreme Treasure. Yet now, the Nine Sword Venerable, whose strength was originally comparable to his, had two Supreme Treasure. He was extremely envious of this.

"Haha, it's just that Yang Wu respects his master!" The Nine Sword Venerable said with a smile, "I didn't want it at first, but I couldn't resist my disciple's constant persuasion, so I accepted it!"

"Nine Swords, you..." Upon hearing Nine Sword Venerable's words, both Kandeli and Venerable Azure Dragon were speechless!

In the following days, Yang Wu was quite busy, as many Universe Venerable from the Human Race came to him to make acquaintances.

After all, Yang Wu's ability to kill the King Feijing meant that he had truly entered the upper echelons of the Human Race.

The stronger the individual, the more they value strength when interacting with others. Although Yang Wu was previously exceptionally talented and highly regarded by his clan, these Universe Venerable would not actively seek to befriend him.

In their view, a genius is just a genius, far from being a true strongman.

But now, Yang Wu has become a true powerhouse, and his strength can continue to improve in a short period of time. He will probably become even stronger in the future!

It is entirely possible that they could become a new pillar of the Human Race.

It was only three days after Yang Wu killed King Feijing.

Yang Wu was diligently cultivating in his Quiet Room when he suddenly received an email.

"A message from the Glory World?" Yang Wu separated a wisp of his consciousness to connect with the Glory World and quickly received the message.

"King Shenwei, you are one of the best among the hundreds of millions of inheritors within our Ancestral God Religion. You have proven your potential with your strength. And this has also brought you to the attention of the higher-ups of our Ancestral God Religion Sect!"

"In the near future... the Double-Faced Ancestral God, one of the Three Ancestral Gods in our Ancestral God Religion Sect, will personally appear on Bauhinia Island bestow treasures upon you."

Yang Wu looked at the message with slight surprise.

The Double-Faced Ancestral God descended upon Bauhinia Island, publicly presiding over bestowals, perhaps even bestowing treasures upon himself?

This was a stroke of good fortune that even Luo Feng didn't encounter in the original story, since the one who bestowed the treasure upon Luo Feng was merely a Beast God.

In the Virtual Universe, atop Thunder Island, within the temple of the Lord of Longxing.

"The Double-Faced Ancestral God personally descended to bestow upon you a treasure?"

The Lord of Longxing was slightly surprised, but then nodded and said, "Disciple, you've had good luck this time. That Double-Faced Ancestral God is much stronger than me, and he's one of the leaders of the Ancestral God Religion, the number one power in the universe. Since he personally descended, the gift he bestowed must be at least a High-grade Supreme Treasure!"

"However, Yang Wu, you must remember this!"

"You are a powerful member of our Human Race, so naturally you must prioritize the interests of our Human Race! If the Ancestral God Religion wants you to join, they should make that clear beforehand!"

Although the Lord of Longxing did not believe that Yang Wu, who respected his teachers, would leave the Human Race, he still earnestly gave him these instructions.

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu nodded earnestly.

Although the Ancestral God Religion claims not to contend, it still primarily seeks to win over truly powerful individuals!

Even the incomparably powerful Master of Nine Serenities Netherworlds, although only Outer Member, held a position within the Ancestral God Religion second only to the Three Ancestral Gods.

If Yang Wu were to truly leave the Human Race Ancestral God Religion, he would likely receive immense and astonishing attention immediately.

But Yang Wu certainly wouldn't make that choice!

"Of course!" The Lord of Longxing looked at Yang Wu and continued, "In any case, the Ancestral God Religion's attention is a good thing!"

"The strongest member of our Human Race within the Ancestral God Religion has always been Venerable Jiufeng, who is utterly incapable of contending with the Lord of Youmo of the Monster Race! If you could become an Ancestral God Religion Protector Beast God, or even Protector God Lord, of the Ancestral God Sect, it would be of immense help to our Human Race!"

"Yes!" Yang Wu nodded seriously.

Time passed slowly, and Yang Wu remained on Bauhinia Island to cultivate.

It wasn't until three days after Yang Wu received the email from the Ancestral God Religion's higher-ups that this happened.

Bauhinia Island, an invisible yet terrifying pressure descended, causing all the inheritors to tremble with fear.

This overwhelming and domineering pressure was far more powerful than any of the Protector Beast God that had ever appeared on Bauhinia Island.

The arrival of the oppressive aura immediately caused the inheritors to fly out of their palaces.

"It's finally here!"

Yang Wu, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, then got up, walked out of the palace, and soared into the air.

In the air above Bauhinia Island, countless inheritors all looked up at the sky.

Yang Wu and Venerable Jiufeng beside him also looked up at the sky.

"Rumble..."

An immense pressure filled the void, causing countless inheritors on Bauhinia Island to feel immense pressure, including the Bauhinia Island Master in his Island Master Palace.

A figure faintly appeared in the void, and this astonishing pressure emanated from it.

This is a humanoid Alien Race powerhouse who is several tens of meters tall, has six arms, and thick legs. He has a face on both the front and back of his head.

The front face is incredibly fair, appearing very kind and smiling, giving off a gentle vibe; while the back face is pitch black, quite ferocious, exuding Evil Qi aura.

This powerful figure looked down, and no one dared to meet his gaze.

"A very special feeling!"

Yang Wu thought to himself as he saw this Ancestral God appear.

He knew very well that the Ancestral God was also Universe Master, but it was because of the support of the Will of the Original Universe that he possessed abilities that were comparable to, or even greater than, the strongest beings in the universe.

In an instant, all the inheritors submitted.

They submitted not only to that oppressive force, but to the Universe Origin Will that was utterly irresistible.

"I am one of the Three Ancestral Gods, the Double-Faced Ancestral God!"

A thunderous voice boomed, echoing throughout the entire Bauhinia Island: "The Inheritor, King Shenwei!"

As soon as the words fell, an invisible force descended and bound Yang Wu, causing him to slowly rise into the air.

Even with Yang Wu's strength, comparable to Intermediate Universe Venerable, he couldn't break free at all.

Yang Wu slowly ascended into the air.

This scene instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

The Double-Faced Ancestral God also looked down at Yang Wu, subtly releasing a sense of goodwill. Even the reversed face was no longer so terrifying.

Immediately, the force binding Yang Wu vanished into thin air, and the Double-Faced Ancestral God continued, "King Shenwei!"

"I am very satisfied with your strength, your talent, and your comprehension!"

"Today, on behalf of the Ancestral God Religion, I bestow upon you a precious treasure!"

Wow!

The countless inheritors below immediately erupted in an uproar, almost all of them revealing expressions of shock and envy.

"It was actually a treasure bestowed openly upon that King Shenwei."

"Even the Ancestral God himself descended; not even the King Zhuchong received such treatment!"

"King Shenwei is so lucky! He just obtained the First Treasure not long ago, and now he has received another treasure bestowed by the Ancestral God!"

"Hehe, if you cultivate for several thousand years, you will be able to kill the King Feijing and be bestowed with treasures by the Ancestral God!"

The Beast God Inheritor were all whispering among themselves, discussing the matter excitedly.
