In the Virtual Universe, on Thunder Island, inside the main hall of Youyuan Venerable's palace.

Only one figure stood in the empty hall.

"Senior Sister, I plan to leave Xuanshang Universe Country for a while and go to the Nine Great Trash Star Fields," Jiang Yao said respectfully.

The voice of Youyuan Venerable, shrouded in mist, was eerie and resonant. "Junk Starfield? You want to forge Super Divine Weapon?"

Jiang Yao nodded and said, "Yes, my teacher instructed me to forge my own Super Divine Weapon before undergoing the life-or-death trial at the World Lord Level. Now that I have completed the Third Ring Points Mission, and there are no other missions assigned yet, I am preparing to go to the Junk Starfield to gather materials for forging the Super Divine Weapon."

That's certainly true, but only half true.

The main reason for this trip to the Junk Starfield was to search for any clues about the fragments of the <Shixing Canon>.

The Chaos City Lord once told him that the opening of Yedier's inheritance was not far off, and now the owner of this Yongwu Race's Inheritance Token said the same thing. Although it is unknown when it will open, time is obviously very tight.

Jiang Yao possesses the <Nine Transformations of the Desolate God>, has Bizhang Split Soul, and has Chiling clone. He will also give birth to more Desolate God in the future. However, if he wants to have the Invincible King-level, unless he encounters the will of the Prison Race Venerable in the "Prison" like Chiling clone, and risks his life to once again activate the power of his Origin Blood Essence, then both the improvement of the Beast God Intent and the improvement of the Gene Level will be a slow and painstaking process.

Chiling clone wants to raise the Beast God Intent from its current level of 18 on the Heavenly Bridge to level 20. This is not something that can be achieved in a short time, since the gap between each level is greater as you progress.

Bizhang only possessed the Beast God Intent, which was close to the 17th level of the Heavenly Bridge. After all, the power of the Origin Blood Essence of the Desolate God Chiling would not improve the realm and power of Bizhang Split Soul.

Jiang Yao's original Space-Time Law are at the level of the 17th to 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge. He can only improve through his own efforts, which is incomparable to the abnormal beings like Bizhang and Chiling who can continuously become stronger by eating and sleeping.

Moreover, even if he could reach the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge in terms of both Beast God Intent and Space-Time Law in a short period of time, without sufficient basic strength and a powerful divine body, he would not be able to achieve the Invincible King-level. After all, those extremely abnormal Soldier Armor, General Armor, and Emperor Armor armors can only be used by the Yan God Race and Earth Humans, which were crafted by the Mountain Sitting Guest. Where would Jiang Yao find a treasure that could unleash the World Lord Power simply by wearing a piece of armor?

The most practical and fastest method right now is the <Shixing Canon>. Although Crimson Thunder Grass seems stronger than Star-Eating Grass and Moyun Vine, they are essentially the same. Achieving immortality is not about Law Comprehension the laws, but about accumulating resources. However, Crimson Thunder Grass still requires secret techniques.

Once Jiang Yao refines the Crimson Thunder Grass into an avatar and it becomes immortal, he can borrow the divine power of the Crimson Thunder Grass avatar, thus gaining an extremely powerful foundation of divine power.

"Very well." Youyuan Venerable chuckled, his voice carrying a chilling killing intent. "Ever since the arrival of the Undying Venerable, everyone knows that I will protect your safety. You have been staying in the Xuanshang Universe Country, and those Alien Race are willing but powerless to do anything but watch. Only after you leave the Xuanshang Universe Country will they dare to make a move."

Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Youyuan Venerable was trying to bait him?

This suited him perfectly. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was extremely wary of assassination attempts from Alien Race. If he wasn't worried about alien Alien Race, why would the Chaos City Lord have been so careful in bestowing upon him the Shiwu Wings and the Soul-type Heavy Treasure, the Fuyuan Realm?

Since he took office Inspector Envoy, he has not encountered a single assassination attempt from any Alien Race. Instead, he feels uneasy, as if another boot has never fallen, leaving his heart hanging in mid-air.

Inside the outer palace complex of the Wulong Star Field, one of the Nine Great Trash Star Fields.

A small welcoming banquet is being held, where the high and Immortal God are clinking glasses and making merry.

At the highest point of the palace stand five thrones.

King Longjue, whose skin was dark red all over, laughed and said, "Speaking of which King Yinge and I once took on the same cultivation mission on Longta Star when we were at the Domain Lord level. I never thought that after so many years, you and I would become colleagues again."

"I've long heard of King Yinge's reputation. He killed four Machine Race immortals in a row in the Mofeng Secret Realm, tsk tsk..." King Danian, representing the First Universe Bank, with curly hair and green skin, also smiled and flattered him.

The protagonist of today's welcoming banquet, the newly appointed representative of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, King Yinge, whose eyes are as sharp as blades, smiled and greeted the other four leaders.

Only Kunyu King, representing the Universe Galaxy Bank, and King Yanzhu, from the Giant Axe Coliseum, remained aloof and silent, while the other three did not seem to care.

An Immortal God in silver robes stepped forward and respectfully reported to King Longjue, "Master, Yunlong has arranged with you to select goods worth one million Hunyuan Unit..."

"Let him wait," King Longjue said, frowning. "Today is King Yinge's welcoming banquet, and it must not be disturbed under any circumstances. I will summon him after the banquet."

After saying this, King Longjue looked at King Yinge and smiled, "He is a Primal Secret Realm Master of my Virtual Universe Company, and also a disciple of a friend of mine. He has come to purchase goods. However, King Yinge, your welcoming banquet is the most important thing. Everything else must be postponed."

The other officials smiled knowingly. Being in charge of the Junk Starfield was a lucrative job. Every day, countless people would beg them to buy goods from the Junk Starfield. Unfortunately, not just anyone was qualified to buy. One had to have some status and authority, and at least one other official had to approve it. If one wanted to buy goods exceeding one million Hunyuan Unit, all five officials had to jointly review it.

The handsome King Yanzhu smiled slightly, "The Wulong Star Field is a precious asset of humanity. It's not something just anyone can buy. We must strictly verify the qualifications of buyers to prevent the loss of assets."

King Longjue's expression darkened slightly, inwardly cursing King Yanzhu for making a big deal out of nothing, but he quickly regained his smile, after all, this was not someone he could afford to offend.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. The Intelligent Life alerted him that a highly authorized unknown number had sent a call invitation.

King Longjue's face darkened. Could it be that the Primal Secret Realm Master had complained to his teacher about this, causing his teacher, who had been granted the King-level Immortal, to urge him to do so?

But this number was completely unfamiliar.

"I'll leave for a bit." After much deliberation, King Longjue decided to accept the call. He only had the strength of a barely King Level being, and it had taken him a lot of effort to obtain such a lucrative position as the head of the Wulong Star Field. Therefore, he had to be more tactful in his dealings with others.

King Longjue entered a secret chamber next to the palace and answered the call invitation.

On the screen appeared a seemingly unremarkable young man with a warm smile. No pressure or aura emanated from him, unlike an Immortal God.

King Longjue was taken aback for a moment, then immediately reacted, his voice filled with surprise and doubt. "Your Prince Jiang Yao?"

Among the King-level Immortal of the Virtual Universe Company, none were unaware of the appearance of this one of the most outstanding geniuses in human history. Combined with the highly privileged account number, the other party's identity was practically a foregone conclusion.

Just call me Jiang Yao.

In fact, for those who King-level Immortal, even when facing members of the Primal Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, there is no need to add any suffix of "Your Highness". Most Primal Secret Region Member, after becoming Immortal God, are only Marquis Immortal, and they are mostly below the level of high Marquis-level.

However, perhaps because of Jiang Yao's status as a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, almost all the Army Lord he encountered, including the King Guanglong, would add the suffix "Your King-level Immortal." Thus, the meaning of "Your Highness" changed from a respectful title for the Core Layer members of the Virtual Universe Company to a respectful title for the disciple of the Chaos City Lord.

Jiang Yao smiled and said, "I want to purchase the weapon fragments of one million Hunyuan Unit, preferably the fragments of immortal weapons. I wonder if King Longjue would agree?"

Although this was the first time Jiang Yao had met King Longjue, he was one of the few "acquaintances" from the original story. Although both were at the Domain Lord level and both held the status of Inspector Envoy, Jiang Yao's position was far superior to that of Luo Feng when he was Inspector Envoy. He wouldn't stand on ceremony with King Longjue, as he didn't think King Longjue would dare to refuse him, nor did he need any introduction from an acquaintance.

Purchasing one million Hunyuan Unit of goods was partly to fulfill the rules for him to find treasures in the Trash Mountain, and partly because it was something he genuinely needed.

The materials required to forge Super Divine Weapon are not rare and precious treasures, but rather things that resonate with the spatial and temporal concepts one has come to understand. These can be substances naturally generated by celestial bodies in the universe, such as natural treasures generated by Supernova explosions that resonate with Jiang Yao's understanding of the concept of "Destruction".

It could also refer to the thing that causes the Destruction of a planet, the Destruction of life, the Destruction of weapons, or the thing itself that Destruction.

Among the Immortal Weapon Remnants recovered from the Outer-Region Battlefield and sent to the Junk Starfield, there are also many suitable materials that fit the concept of "Destruction".

As for wealth, it was basically enough. Perhaps due to Yousa's efforts to win over Jiang Yao, in the subsequent investigation by the Virtual Universe Company, the Yongwu Race's "satisfaction" with Jiang Yao's performance in this points-based mission was unexpectedly high. Jiang Yao scored 80 points in the third round of mission evaluation and obtained 8 million points.

The points accumulated within the five major factions can also be used to purchase goods in the Junk Starfield. Combined with the points he still has, he has enough to buy goods worth one million points in each Junk Starfield, thus qualifying him to shop around.

As for why he chose the Wulong Star Field first, it was mainly because Jiang Yao wanted to see the magical armor of the Yan God Race, which was also known as Soldier Armor or General Armor.

"Of course, of course I agree!" King Longjue did not hesitate at all. One million Hunyuan Unit of goods were already within his scope of review. If it were any other buyer without an acquaintance's introduction, he would naturally be reserved or even make things difficult to get a kickback. But this Prince Jiang Yao was obviously not someone he could make things difficult for.

"Alright, please make your preparations as soon as possible. I'm already on my way to the Wulong Star Field," Jiang Yao said with a smile.

King Longjue inwardly groaned and immediately returned to the banquet, saying to the other four officials, "King Yanzhu, King Yinge... I'm so sorry, I need to prepare the goods immediately."

"Who wants to buy goods? And in such a hurry?" King Danian asked in surprise.

King Yanzhu stroked his chin with his fingers and chuckled, "Was the phone call that King Longjue just received from your teacher?"

"Jiang Yao!"

King Longjue said solemnly, "I am Prince Jiang Yao, Primal Secret Region Member of the Virtual Universe Company."

The hall fell silent for a moment.
