After a while, the voice of Bulieni sounded again: "Luo, kid, I have some good news and some bad news for you."
"The good news is that once you reach the Immortal level, or even the Universe Venerable level, you won't have to worry about your defensive armor, offensive treasures, soul-type treasures, flying palace-type treasures, or domain-type treasures. This old eccentric has a full set of everything here, and there are even some supreme treasures used by Universe Masters."
"Furthermore, he fused a portion of his own divine power to leave you an incarnation of the Beast God and plenty of Beast God essence blood. The Beast God incarnation is a condensation of his divine soul, capable of demonstrating the fusion path of the light and time laws in great detail."
"The Beast God essence blood can help you raise your life gene level, make your comprehension of the various laws much smoother, and is also beneficial for comprehending the path of fused laws. These are all rare and precious treasures."
"The bad news is that treasures below the Immortal level are extremely scarce. After all, the old eccentric was a powerhouse at the level of a Universe Master; he likely didn't care for things below the Immortal level, so I only found some miscellaneous items."
"However, you are a human. I remember when I was wandering the universe with the old eccentric, he secretly opened an account at the Universe First Bank of the human race. There might be some things in there that he didn't need at the time; you can go and see what's inside."
"I only know the account number and the decryption method; I have no idea what is inside. You had better pray that there is something in there you can actually use."
Luo Zhiyuan felt his heart racing as he listened to these words.
At first, hearing that there were many treasures suitable for above the Immortal level, he was smiling so hard he was almost drooling. But then, hearing that there were almost no suitable treasures below the Immortal level, his face nearly wrinkled with bitterness. Finally, hearing about a bank account that might contain useful items, he felt as restless as if he were being scratched by a cat!
He asked impatiently: "Bulieni, are there any special requirements to withdraw from that account? For example, does it require a check of spiritual energy in reality? If not, can I check it directly in the Virtual Universe?"
"Virtual Universe? What kind of thing is that? That account requires the verification of this ring I am possessing to unlock, so of course, it has to be done in reality," Bulieni said, sounding somewhat puzzled.
Luo Zhiyuan was also a bit stunned. Bulieni didn't know about the Virtual Universe? Although he knew that Bulieni and Chenxi were very ancient existences, he never expected that they were from an era before the Virtual Universe appeared.
That meant that when the Light Beast God fell, the top human powerhouse, Yuan, had not yet unleashed the secret technique of the Virtual Universe.
Yes, the Virtual Universe was the strongest secret technique of Yuan and was unique in the universe. Apart from the human race, no other race possessed a communication tool like the Virtual Universe that covered almost the entire universe; only a very few places were beyond its reach.
The Virtual Universe played a very important role in the human race being ranked as one of the six peak races in the universe. It allowed humans to communicate anywhere in the universe at any time, which was extremely important for intelligence and military affairs, and it had made indelible contributions in many inter-racial wars.
After briefly explaining the situation of the Virtual Universe to Bulieni, Bulieni exclaimed in surprise: "What? The human race actually has such a powerful means? Was it created by that Yuan Zu? The range can cover the entire universe?"
"Amazing! I once dealt with Yuan Zu back when I was with the old eccentric. I only knew his combat methods were extremely powerful; I never expected he had such a powerful means."
"Wait? By communicating through the Virtual Universe, wouldn't Yuan Zu know all the secrets?"
Luo Zhiyuan's mouth twitched twice more. He was still not quite used to chatting with ancient predecessors like this, so he just said expressionlessly: "Don't worry about that. Yuan has already been permanently suppressed by the Primal Universe, and he can't make any major moves within the Virtual Universe."
"Now, the Virtual Universe has a Machine Race Universe Master, who was enslaved by Yuan's soul, acting as the control core. He doesn't sense everything; he only expends energy when necessary."
"If he were to monitor everything constantly, that burden would be too much for that Machine Race Universe Master to bear."
With a tone of shock and strangeness, Bulieni said in Luo Zhiyuan's consciousness: "A pity for Yuan Zu, to be permanently suppressed by the Primal Universe."
"Back in the day, he was known as the strongest among the strongest in the universe. No Universe Supreme would ever fight him head-on; almost all of them would avoid him. He was infinitely majestic!"
"Luo, kid, you really have some connections! This information must be the highest secret of the human race. By all logic, you shouldn't know it, but you know it quite clearly. You are truly very mysterious!"
Luo Zhiyuan had an urge to slap himself. How could he have been so careless as to tell Bulieni so many secrets he shouldn't know? It was fortunate that this was an intelligent life form that had pledged loyalty to him and wouldn't betray him; otherwise, he really might have brought disaster upon himself through his words!
Luo Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "Alright, that's not important. There isn't much I actually know; these just happen to be a few things I am aware of."
"Let's hurry up and see which of the items left by Senior Chenxi I can use now, treasures that can improve my strength."
"Oh, right, I am following the path of a spiritual master illusionist. Are there any weapons or armor suitable for me?"
Bulieni stopped questioning Luo Zhiyuan and continued: "I have only found a few items to improve physical energy, one energy fruit for physical breakthroughs, and some miscellaneous materials. There are no other ready-made treasures that can be used directly."
Luo Zhiyuan was speechless after hearing this. The gap between Senior Chenxi's level and his own was too great; there were almost no low-level treasures. This was truly heartbreaking; he could only pin his hopes on that Universe First Bank account.
"Right, Bulieni, I have a few Azure Fruits here myself. After eating them, I can reach the Planet level 9 spiritual master. To what extent can the energy fruit you have there raise me?"
"If you use it sparingly, it's enough to get you to the World Lord level. However, if you use the fastest 'force-feeding' method, you can only reach Domain Lord level 1."
Luo Zhiyuan was a bit confused. Was there a difference?
"What is called 'using it sparingly' is waiting for your body to fully absorb and master its own energy before the next upgrade. This would take about 500 years for you to reach the World Lord level."
"And 'force-feeding' means not waiting for your body to fully master its energy; as soon as the energy from the fruit dissipates, you use the next one. In that case, in about 50 years, you can reach Domain Lord level 1. Which one do you choose?"
Luo Zhiyuan was shocked once again. 500 years to the World Lord level or 50 years to the Domain Lord level—this was basically the most exaggerated leveling speed in the universe. Even with the most peak bloodline in the universe, it would take at least a thousand years to reach the World Lord level. It was truly worthy of being a collection of a Universe Master.
Luo Zhiyuan immediately wanted to choose the force-feeding method, but then he thought about the plot of Swallowed Star. In a few years, the Universe Human Peak Genius Competition would be held. If he missed it, it would be a great pity.
The Universe Human Peak Genius Competition was a large-scale competition held every 5,000 years, with all 1,008 high-civilization universe countries participating.
This genius competition was led by the Virtual Universe Company, one of the five major human forces. It was the best time to enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company. He needed the protection of a force, and the Virtual Universe Company was a good choice.
However, the genius competition only allowed Star level participants. If the force-feeding growth exceeded the Star level, he would miss this opportunity. It wasn't worth it. So, he said to Bulieni: "Let's use it sparingly; I don't mind waiting a few hundred years."
Bulieni said with satisfaction: "That's right. I don't recommend force-feeding either. That would make your foundation unstable, and you would have to spend a lot of time making up for it once you reach the Domain Lord level."
"Then, next, I will arrange your cultivation and development route, which will allow you to upgrade to the World Lord level with the greatest efficiency!"
