"Jiang Yao?!"

King Tianmu peered through the tower wall at the three Alien Race King-level Immortal, who stood respectfully beside Jiang Yao. He was horrified. "You dare collude with Alien Race? No, they are your Soul Slave? How is that possible? You dare kill me?"

King Tianmu was about to send a mass email using the Virtual Universe, Jiang Yao touched the giant tower with his palm. Then, without any spatial fluctuations, the giant tower where King Tianmu was located vanished silently.

The three Alien Race Immortal Servant around him, including the Spiral Terror Golden Spider, couldn't help but shudder. Even though they had become Jiang Yao's Soul Slave, they were still afraid of the Liuyu Crystal World.

Being imprisoned in such a prison, even if Jiang Yao didn't kill them in an instant, unless they became Soul Slave like them, they would never have another chance to escape the Liuyu Crystal World.

Jiang Yao sensed the Liuyu Crystal hidden within his Inner World and sighed inwardly, realizing that the Liuyu Crystal had truly become his prison.

After refining the Liuyu Divine Mountain, he was essentially the owner of the Liuyu Crystal. Naturally, he also had the ability to actively absorb life into the Liuyu Crystal, provided that the other party did not resist.

The three Immortal Servant sent by the King Tianmu were controlled by him using Time Stop, while the King Tianmu himself was sealed in the giant tower by the Innate Secret Technique of the Spiral Terror Golden Spider.

Jiang Yao then turned around and successively took the three Soul Slave into the Liuyu Crystal World.

After completely refining the Liuyu Crystal, with his Space-Time Control comparable to that of Universe Master and his willpower at the Universe Venerable level, he easily subdued the four remaining Peak King in the Liuyu Crystal World as his Soul Slave.

One of them happened to be Soul Slave from a human vassal race, which he left with the Lingtong Race. With Peak King expert in charge, the Lingtong Race is unlikely to face any major crises.

Unless he and all his clones die, his Soul Slave will naturally perish as well. Therefore, he needs to cultivate a new generation of powerful members of the Lingtong Race, and his disciple Qianhuo is the candidate he plans to train as the leader of the Lingtong Race.

Of course, it was a secret that Jiang Yao left behind Soul Slave to guard the Lingtong Race. Even the Clan Leader and the Elder of the realm were not informed. After all, if the entire clan knew that there was Peak King expert guarding them, they would inevitably act recklessly, which would not be a good thing.

Jiang Yao cleaned up all the Teleportation and teleported back to a long, dark-colored Biological Spaceship that resembled a dragon.

This Biological Spaceship is the mount of his strongest Soul Slave Spiral Terror Golden Spider. As one of the eighteen royal families, its status is extremely noble. It even possesses three of the Strongest Fire God Source Crystal. This Biological Spaceship is also worth tens of billions of Hunyuan Unit. It is fused with a special Metal Lifeform, making it extremely strong in defense and extremely fast. In the Dark Universe, it can reach 80 times the speed of light and has a powerful self-repairing ability.

Inside the spaceship's safe cabin, Qianhuo was cultivating with her eyes closed, comprehending the Origin Law.

Jiang Yao said to the spaceship's AI, "Let's go to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters."

The Initial Universe, Chaos City.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the City Lord's Mansion's guards, Jiang Yao stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, entered the Inner Mansion, and strode into the Chaos Ruins Courtyard.

Spacetime transformation.

On the desolate, ruined continent, the corpses of countless races are scattered everywhere. As Jiang Yao walks across this land, he can only catch sight of a figure sitting cross-legged in the distance.

"Teacher," someone said, standing to the side and bowing respectfully.

Wow!

The Chaos City Lord rose, his scaled tail swishing slightly, and his eyes, as vast and deep as the ocean, looked at Jiang Yao, a subtle wave of energy sweeping out.

Jiang Yao's Universe Venerable level will could feel that subtle fluctuation sweeping across every cell in his body, even probing his Inner World. He knew that this was the Chaos City Lord judging whether there was anything wrong with him. However, the Chaos City Lord should have examined him countless times since the moment he entered the Initial Universe.

After all, anyone would have doubts about him in such a situation.

"Did you enter the inner world of some kind of sealed or special treasure? Was it that strange crystal in your Inner World?" The Chaos City Lord asked curiously, a smile appearing in his eyes.

Jiang Yao was taken aback, somewhat admiring the Chaos City Lord's keen insight. "Yes, that crystal is called the Liuyu Crystal."

After saying this, Jiang Yao told the Chaos City Lord about the Liuyu Crystal and his experiences over the past 1,500 years.

He didn't conceal the origin of the Liuyu Crystal, but he concealed the fact that it gave birth to the Desolate God Huanming and used the Water-Fire Fusion Law to kill the Immortal Zerg Mother Emperor. Instead, he said that at the last moment when the Zerg Mother Emperor was refining the Liuyu Divine Mountain, she awakened the sleeping and severely injured Liuyu Crystal Spirit. The Zerg Mother Emperor and the Liuyu Crystal Spirit, which only had a trace of its remaining consciousness, perished together, and Jiang Yao got the benefit.

Since nothing outside the world can know what happens within the Liuyu Crystal World, the truth can be fabricated at will.

"You're quite lucky to have gotten such a great deal." The Chaos City Lord blinked strangely after hearing this, it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

However, the Chaos City Lord did not intend to delve into the matter. As long as Jiang Yao was still human, he did not care about other secrets. In fact, the bigger and stronger Jiang Yao's secrets were, the better, so that he would have a better chance of surviving when encountering greater dangers in the future.

"Liuyu Crystal ...and other components..." A glint flashed in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord: "I've heard of such treasures before. Some treasures created by the Machine Race are composed of many components like this, and we humans also have a few similar treasures."

Jiang Yao's heart stirred. He knew that the Chaos City Lord possessed a Mechanical Flow Treasure called "Palm Universe," which was crafted by the Original Ancestor. It was incredibly powerful, equivalent to a simplified Miniature Universe. Even if two or three of the strongest beings in the Primal Universe attacked it, they would not fare well. It was truly a treasure of the clan.

"Hey, if the information you got from the Liuyu Crystal is correct, and the other parts are in Liuchong Mountain, then the chances of gathering them all to recreate this powerful treasure are slim." The Chaos City Lord explained with a smile, "Liuchong Mountain is known as Three Great Forbidden Lands in the Universe Ocean. Even the strongest beings in the universe are in danger of perishing there. It's still too far away for you."

The main reason Jiang Yao didn't hide the origin of the Liuyu Crystal was that the Liuyu Crystal itself wasn't particularly valuable, at least not enough to attract a powerhouse like the Chaos City Lord. Moreover, refining it would require refining it from within, and the other components were likely located in Liuchong Mountain, one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands of the Universe Ocean, making it somewhat of a waste.

As one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands, Liuchong Mountain itself contains many powerful Supreme Treasure, but to obtain them and delve into it requires not only luck but also extreme danger. Even the Giant Axe Founder had explored it but found nothing.

"However, this does not diminish the value of this treasure." The Chaos City Lord sighed, "With the Liuyu Crystal, you will no longer be in danger of losing your life. At most, you will be sealed off."

"Furthermore, in the Liuyu Crystal World, you can use its energy to Control of Space-Time, which greatly promotes your cultivation of the Space-Time Law."

Looking at his disciple, the Chaos City Lord felt a mixture of excitement and admiration. At his level, while he valued talent, willpower, and character in his clan's geniuses, he also knew that opportunity was the most important factor and something that could not be forced.

Jiang Yao is undoubtedly a genius with extraordinary luck. He not only possessed Special Lifeform with the Beast God Intent, but also gained a treasure like the Liuyu Crystal by virtue of misfortune. He has basically cleared all obstacles on his path to becoming a strongman.

After a moment of inward reflection, the Chaos City Lord's expression turned serious. "You've obtained the <Shixing Canon>. It seems you've decided to participate in the competition for the Yedier Inheritance?"

The <Shixing Canon>? Jiang Yao was startled. The Chaos City Lord actually knew that he had obtained the <Shixing Canon>?

"Hahaha." The Chaos City Lord laughed heartily, "The entire Initial Universe is under my control. From the moment you entered the Initial Universe, I discovered the Crimson Thunder Grass within your Inner World. I'm not surprised you possess the Crimson Thunder Grass; you may have even cultivated it into an avatar and evolved it into the Thousand-Vine Perfect Form state. This would have been impossible without the <Shixing Canon>."

"Does the teacher know about the <Shixing Canon>?" Jiang Yao asked curiously.

The Chaos City Lord smiled faintly, "Although we humans and even the Hong Alliance haven't obtained many Yedier Inheritance Communication Talisman, the <Shixing Canon> naturally can't be hidden from me. Not to mention, some owners of Inheritance Token from other races are also searching everywhere for fragments that record the <Shixing Canon>. However, even within the Shixing Race, there are only a handful of plants capable of evolving the Crimson Thunder Grass into its Thousand-Vine Perfect Form."

The Chaos City Lord gave Jiang Yao a deep look, knowing that this disciple must have other secrets. The Thousand-Vine Crimson Thunder Grass is extremely rare, and it cannot be obtained simply by acquiring the <Shixing Canon>.

"However, merely possessing a clone of the Thousand-Vine Crimson Thunder Grass is far from enough. You must also make it Immortal God before you have any chance of competing for Yedier's inheritance." The Chaos City Lord said solemnly, "You may have heard about Yedier's deeds. Although he is not the Universe Master and his strength is far inferior to mine, the inheritance he left behind is by no means simple. If you do not have the strength to be Invincible King-level, you will not have much hope even if you go."

"Humans are inherently physically weak, and the number of Invincible King-level is not large, far less than other peak races or even many top races. The intensity and danger of the competition to open the Yedier inheritance will probably be extremely high."

The Chaos City Lord continued, "I originally wanted to advise you not to participate, but now that you have obtained the Liuyu Crystal, you have a trump card to protect yourself, and you do have the capital to compete for the inheritance. However, the time before the opening of Yedier's inheritance is not long, and if you do not have combat power close to that of Invincible King-level by then, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to gain anything."

Jiang Yao nodded respectfully and said, "What you say is true, Master. That's what I was thinking too. So I want to cultivate in Chaos City for a while to improve my strength before participating in the life-and-death trials."

The Chaos City Lord chuckled softly, "You've faced quite a few dangers during your time as a special Inspector Envoy, and you've been trapped in this Liuyu Crystal World for over a thousand years, facing the threat of the Zerg Mother Emperor. What you've experienced is no less than a life-or-death ordeal. The Virtual Universe Company's talent cultivation mechanism isn't rigid; with your strength, you no longer need to participate in any life-or-death ordeals."

Seeing Jiang Yao's surprised expression, the Chaos City Lord continued, "You have already mastered the Super Divine Weapon, and your understanding of the Space-Time Law should have reached the level of the 19th level of the Heavenly Bridge. You are now qualified to reside permanently in Chaos City. You can now control your own cultivation path from now on; the company will not interfere with or make any further arrangements for you."

"You can cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City if you wish, or even imagine yourself establishing your own sect like other grandmasters of Cosmic School —it's all up to you." The Chaos City Lord looked at Jiang Yao with a smile in his eyes. "However, I can give you some advice."

Jiang Yao suppressed his surprise and quickly said, "Please enlighten me, teacher."

The Chaos City Lord said with a solemn expression, "The size of your Inner World is something I have never encountered before. Apart from your extremely high level of understanding of the Origin Law, it is probably mainly due to the Special Lifeform 'Bizhang' that you possessed. The larger the Inner World, the more difficult it is to become Immortal God."

"If I'm not mistaken, with your vast Inner World, the difficulty of breaking through the Life Core to connect with the Universe Origin and attracting the Law Ocean would be inconceivable. Even if your Law Comprehension reached the level of the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge to Heaven, it might not be enough. Therefore, if you want to have the Invincible King-level in a short period of time, you probably can't expect to become Immortal God."

"I think that's your plan too. You want your Crimson Thunder Grass clone to become an Immortal God, and use the powerful divine power of the Immortal Thousand-Vine Crimson Thunder Grass, along with Divine Power Amplification techniques, to achieve near- Invincible King-level combat power, right?"

Jiang Yao quickly nodded and said, "Teacher, you are wise. This disciple does indeed have this plan."

"I've read the first three secret techniques of the <Shixing Canon>," the Chaos City Lord said with a faint smile. "It seems you've already collected the first three secret techniques of the <Shixing Canon> and also obtained the wealth of the Immortal Zerg Mother Emperor. However, to make the Thousand-Vine Perfect Form Crimson Thunder Grass achieve immortality, feeding it massive amounts of resources isn't enough. You're still missing one treasure."

The Chaos City Lord looked at Jiang Yao, whose eyes were shining, and smiled, "Why don't you go and try your luck in the Third Battlefield outside the realm? You might gain something from it."

Jiang Yao's heart stirred. Marquis Huanqiong Kasolo was in the Third Battlefield outside the domain. He had even sent Jiang Yao an email, telling him to go to the Third Battlefield outside the domain to find him if he had the strength of King-level Immortal.

The Chaos City Lord also suggested he go to the Third Battlefield. Could something happen on the Third Battlefield?

"Go," the Chaos City Lord said with a gentle smile. "Not many people know of your return, and most believe you have perished. In the past 1,500 years, many have probably almost forgotten you. Go and make an appearance to announce your return."

"Yes, teacher." Jiang Yao took his leave thoughtfully, and was immediately Teleportation out of the Chaos Ruins World by the Chaos City Lord.

The Heavenly Bridge Plane, on the beautiful central island.

As the Guardian Bafen was observing the battle Core Layer geniuses of the five major forces who were attempting to cross the Heavenly Bridge, his gaze suddenly sharpened as a figure appeared in the distance.

"Jiang Yao?!" The Guardian Bafen, stared in shock at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

"Long time no see," Jiang Yao said with a smile to the surprised Guardian Bafen.

The Guardian Bafen, suppressed his shock and asked with some surprise, "Your Prince Jiang Yao, are you going to cross the Heavenly Bridge?"

"Of course." Jiang Yao looked at the Heavenly Bridge submerged in the clouds in the distance and thought to himself that the best way to show his return was naturally to cross the Heavenly Bridge.
