Let the Storm Come Harder!

In the Virtual Universe, within a luxurious manor in the floating ancient city where the Xuanshang Branch of the Universe Mercenary Alliance is located.

A Mad Sword Marquis, covered in downy hair and resembling a white gorilla, was staring in disbelief at Jiang Yao's words.

"The Inheritance Token of Yedier?"

Mad Sword Marquis shook his head in disbelief, saying, "These Shixing Race Immortals are so unreliable! They actually put such a precious item in the Inheritance Tower. No wonder... no wonder..."

"You're quite something, kid." Mad Sword Marquis exclaimed with admiration, "Not only has your talent exceeded my expectations, but your willpower is also beyond that of ordinary geniuses. Faced with the coercion and enticement of Zhenxuan King, and even risking the safety of your teacher and clan, let alone a mere Stellar-level being like you, even an ordinary Immortal God would probably lose his composure and be allowed to succeed."

"You've got some insight, kid. Hehe, if you really agree to that Zhenxuan King, you'll be at a huge loss. This Inheritance Token is something that many powerful experts at the Peak King-level or even the Invincible King-level want."

"Once you join the Virtual Universe Company, you can use this Inheritance Token as leverage to get those grandmasters at the pinnacle of immortality to accept you as their disciple."

Mad Sword Marquis glanced at Jiang Yao's indifferent expression and said with some dissatisfaction, "Don't underestimate this point. Do you think you can just pick and choose your teacher once you enter the Virtual Universe Company? Heh, even geniuses who entered the Primal Secret Realm in the past might not have been accepted as disciples by Invincible King-level."

"Some of those old guys have lived for billions of epochs. What kind of geniuses haven't they seen? Most people can stay in Chaos City for 30 years and still not find a teacher."

"With this Inheritance Token, you might not even need to cross the Heavenly Bridge before many powerful King-level vie to take you as their disciple."

Mad Sword Marquis then muttered, "Maybe you won't even need to go to the Initial Universe. Once the news spreads, the various sect masters of the Virtual Universe Company in Chaos City will already be preparing to snatch you as their disciple. You're a rare commodity."

"Of course, if you don't want to exchange the Inheritance Token for a teacher, you can sell it directly to the Virtual Universe Company. The Virtual Universe Company will definitely not treat you unfairly. However, I still suggest that you use the Inheritance Token to worship a teacher who Invincible King-level and even surpasses the Immortal."

"The teachings of a master who Invincible King-level, are more important to you than any wealth."

Jiang Yao was naturally unwilling to become a disciple of a teacher he had obtained through the exchange of Inheritance Token. In fact, he even wanted to use Inheritance Token to compete for the great inheritance of Yedier. However, he needed to demonstrate his strength. Without strength or potential that would earn him respect, he would most likely lose the Inheritance Token.

Even if he didn't want to sell, the Virtual Universe Company, the Human Race, and even the powerful individuals or forces in the Hong Alliance who wanted to obtain the Inheritance Token would pressure him through various channels and means to sell it to their race.

Precious treasures can only realize their value when they are in the hands of the strong; this is the optimal allocation of resources. Putting them in the hands of ordinary geniuses would be a waste of precious resources.

Jiang Yao kept his thoughts to himself. Fortunately, this Inheritance Token wasn't on Earth, so preserving Inheritance Token would be much easier for him than for Luo Feng to preserve Earth.

"But... my teacher and the Lingtong Race..."

Mad Sword Marquis laughed loudly, "Marquis Huanqiong, you don't need to worry at all. As soon as you came out of the preliminaries, that Zhenxuan King couldn't wait to secretly come to the Kasolo Empire to coerce and entice you. He just wanted to take advantage of your slowness and make you, a little guy who doesn't understand the constraints that Human Race place on Immortal Expert, agree to his conditions in a panic."

"Your teacher is a dignified Marquis Immortal, and a five-star mercenary in my Universe Mercenary Alliance. How could he, a King-level Immortal, just kill him like that?"

"Hehe, whether it's our five top powers or the Xuanshang Universe Lord, if they want to execute an Immortal God in peacetime, they need to provide sufficient evidence of the crime and issue an order for the branches of the five powers or the army of the Universe Country to carry it out."

"Whether it's killing Kasolo or enslaving Kasolo, if Zhenxuan King dares to do it, even with the Talun Race backing him up, he'll have to obediently stay in the Star Domain Prison until he dies!"

Just as Jiang Yao's heart settled down, he heard Mad Sword Marquis frown and say, "Your teacher doesn't need to worry, but I can't guarantee anything for your Lingtong Race. A genius like you who is guaranteed to get into the Virtual Universe Company will usually be wary of most forces."

"But against someone like Zhenxuan King, who King-level Immortal, your deterrent power is insufficient. If he supports other forces in the Kasolo Empire to attack the Lingtong Race, as long as there is no large-scale massacre, the Universe Country and the five major powers generally won't interfere in such conflicts between small forces."

"However, once the news that you possess the Inheritance Token spreads, Zhenxuan King might become hesitant. At that time, other King-level Immortal who are interested in the Inheritance Token will likely become dissatisfied with Zhenxuan King, and they won't allow him to threaten you with the Lingtong Race."

Jiang Yao nodded; the words of the Mad Sword Marquis had completely dispelled his last remaining concerns.

The burly, furry Ape-man gave Jiang Yao a deep look. "Are you sure? Once I send this email, there's no turning back."

If the news that a mere stellar-level genius possesses a treasure that even King-level expert covets were to spread widely, the pressure Jiang Yao would face would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, this happened during the Peak Genius Tournament, and Jiang Yao had already demonstrated the strength to definitely enter the Virtual Universe, making even King-level experts wary; otherwise, this would have been pure suicide.

"I've made up my mind." Jiang Yao's gaze was firm; there was absolutely no way he would submit to Zhenxuan King, the enemy who killed his master.

Let the storm rage on!

In the Initial Universe, within the Chaos City.

In a plaza within a mansion, spanning tens of kilometers in length and width, thousands of cultivators were quietly listening to a lecture.

The lecturer was a burly Ape-man wearing golden armor and with golden fur on his face.

As the Ape-man was explaining one of the illustrations on the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele," he suddenly frowned.

"Another Yedier Inheritance Token has appeared? Interesting..."

However, he only paused for a moment before continuing his lecture.

Inside another mansion, a young man with horns on his head and two pairs of wings on his back was instructing his disciples when he suddenly stopped. "The Inheritance Token of the Holy Lord of the Shixing Race?!"

"Teacher?"

The Winged Youth's eyes gleamed with joy as he said to his disciples, "That's all for today. You may go back now."

Subsequently, the powerful King-level who resided in Chaos City —whether cultivating, lecturing, or teaching disciples—all received messages from the Yedier Inheritance Communication Talisman.

Some remained calm, some were overjoyed, some were disdainful, some were furious, and some had already begun verifying the news's veracity.

The one who was enraged was naturally Zhenxuan King.

The Kasolo Empire, Lanhui Planet.

Clad in purple armor, with a red tail coiled around his waist, Kasolo's eyes flashed with mockery as he looked at the enraged Zhenxuan King, who stood beside him even through his Bronze Mask.

"Zhenxuan King, this Yedier Inheritance Token is extremely precious. Many King-level Immortal want it. If you don't prepare a treasure of equal value, you may not be able to compete with the other King-level powerhouses."

In response to Kasolo's taunts, Zhenxuan King's dark eyes, visible through his Bronze Mask, radiated intense killing intent. Kasolo, not to be outdone, retorted with a cold laugh.

Zhenxuan King ultimately held back, gazing into the distance as if looking at Jiang Yao, who was hiding somewhere and whom he wished he could torment for ten thousand epochs.

"Jiang Yao ..." This stellar-level genius whom he had never given a second glance actually had such courage and such decisiveness.

Perhaps Jin Lun's desire to kill that kid was justified.

With Kasolo's guidance, that kid must understand the truth behind Jiuyuan's death. With this Inheritance Token, he can also gain the protection of Invincible King-level expert. If he is allowed to grow up, he might become a considerable threat.

Only after watching Zhenxuan King Teleportation away did Kasolo breathe a sigh of relief, his face pale and his previous cold expression gone.

Zhenxuan King was a genuine King-level expert with remarkable achievements in the Soul Path. Kasolo's injuries had not yet healed and the poison had not been expelled. Facing such a powerful figure, the pressure on him was Extreme Point.

"This kid... this kid is even more troublesome than I was back in the day!"

Back then, he faced a life-or-death situation in pursuit of that Zhenhuang Stele.

Kasolo was both amused and somewhat impressed. "Looks like I've really struck gold this time."

On an unnamed, desolate planet, Jiang Yao stood on a dark brown rock, his right hand raised, fingers pointing like a sword, crimson energy flowing from his fingertips, distorting the surrounding space.

The finger sword seemed to bear an unparalleled weight. If a realm lord were here, he would surely be surprised to sense that Jiang Yao's finger sword seemed to be enveloped in the fluctuations of the four Origin Law fire, light, space, and time, and faintly possessed the power to communicate with heaven and earth.

With a hiss!

The direction the sword pointed to, a massive dark brown mountain range was pierced by a crimson beam of light, which then shot straight into the sky, traversing space at almost the speed of light, and piercing through a satellite orbiting the planet.

"These Nine Styles of Bizhang are indeed difficult!" Jiang Yao sighed.

Bajie chuckled and said, "What kind of body does the Desolate God Bizhang? His control over the Origin Law is far beyond what you can compare to. You've already done remarkably well to reach this level. Aren't there still five years left? With the help of the Xu Yuan Space, these five years will be enough for you to master this ultimate technique."

<Nine Styles of Bizhang> is more accurately described as a unique skill created by Jiang Yao. It evolved from the mastery of the Origin Law by Bizhang in his incarnation or by using Bizhang's will in battle.

Generally speaking, only Peak World Lord has obtained the recognition of the Universe Origin Law would create such a unique skill.

Jiang Yao's understanding of the Origin Law is far from reaching the point of being recognized by the laws themselves, but he has Bizhang as his teacher. It can be said that Bizhang's mastery of the Origin Law in battle is the best teacher.

Although his body was highly compatible with the Origin Law of Light, his speed of comprehending these laws could not compare to that of a realm lord who could delve into the Origin Land of the Universe.

Not to mention the two Origin Law space and time, whose fluctuations are rather ambiguous.

In such a short period of time, without the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele, Jiang Yao actually had little room for improvement in his Controller Divine Weapon.

While Law Comprehension cannot be improved quickly, there is still much room for improvement in the application of the laws.

The "Nine Styles of Bizhang" is a unique skill that allows Jiang Yao to maximize his combat power based on his current level of Law Comprehension.

Yedier's Inheritance Token left him with no other choice.

He didn't want to exchange the Inheritance Token for a teacher who Invincible King-level, nor did he want to be pressured into selling himself to Virtual Universe Company or Human Race.

In a sense, he has fallen into a similar predicament to Luo Feng, whose value on Earth has been exposed.

Of course, the difference is that Luo Feng needs to demonstrate the strength of Universe Master and have the support of the Chaos City Lord in order to be qualified to save Earth.

As long as Jiang Yao demonstrates the strength of King-level Immortal, or the potential far exceeding that of ordinary geniuses from the Primal Secret Realm, he can preserve the Inheritance Token.

Jiang Yao's expression was resolute. "Fortunately, we still have five years..."
