With no hope for a special life form, Wu Yun had no choice but to change his request.
"Teacher, could you give me a treasure capable of concealing my aura?" Wu Yun scratched his head. "As a World Lord appearing in a place like the Outer Realm Battlefield, I'm afraid of being too conspicuous."
The reason Kedi perished so prematurely was, to a large extent, because he lacked a treasure to conceal his aura.
A World Lord comparable to a high-level King-level, capable of slaying Marquis-Level Immortals.
Such a monstrous talent, and in a universe secret region at that—how could the alien races not target him?
Lanzang City Lord was also taken aback when he heard Wu Yun's request; a treasure capable of concealing one's aura had to be a True Treasure.
A World Lord wanting to obtain a True Treasure?
One must know that many Universe Venerables do not even possess a True Treasure. No matter how heaven-defying Wu Yun's potential is, he is still just a World Lord; who could guarantee he would definitely become a Universe Lord?
Ancient high-level Universe Venerables like the Ganwu Kingdom Lord were troubled by a mere few True Treasure points, to the point where they dared not venture out to take risks for endless ages.
If news were to spread and others learned that Lanzang City Lord was being so biased, they would surely whisper behind his back, saying he shouldn't have given a True Treasure to a World Lord.
"Fine." Lanzang City Lord responded directly. "A treasure that can conceal aura is a True Treasure, with a value exceeding even the heavy treasures you are permitted to query. You must be low-key and cautious."
The temperament of Lanzang City Lord was completely different from that of the Chaos City Lord; he didn't care what those Universe Venerables thought. Dare to gossip behind his back?
If he truly got ruthless, he would deal with whoever was gossiping. How a Universe Lord conducts himself is not for them to criticize; they are the true masters of the race.
"A True Treasure?" Wu Yun's eyes were filled with shock. "Teacher, isn't this too valuable? Even with my clearance, I couldn't even search for it."
Wu Yun's clearance was comparable to a King-level, which did not qualify him to view True Treasures.
Only after Luo Feng killed King Feijing and his clearance became comparable to a Universe Venerable could he view ordinary True Treasures and high-level True Treasures; King-level clearance could only view heavy treasures.
"Take it if I give it to you; a True Treasure is nothing." Lanzang City Lord said solemnly. "But don't let the news leak. Some Universe Venerables will go crazy for a True Treasure."
Wu Yun nodded. Not to mention Universe Venerables, even Universe Overlords would fight fiercely over an ordinary True Treasure; perhaps only top-tier Universe Overlords wouldn't care.
Lanzang City Lord flipped his hand and tossed out a suit of armor. "This is the Demon-Breaking Armor. I obtained it by chance in the Universe Ocean, and it has never appeared in the Primal Universe."
The armor was graphite-colored throughout, crafted from an unknown material. Its surface was covered in bloodstains and radiated an ancient aura, as if it had existed for a vast amount of time.
Lanzang City Lord casually wiped away the bloodstains; Universe Lords could crush ordinary True Treasures, so simple maintenance was no problem at all.
In the hands of Lanzang City Lord, the Demon-Breaking Armor became no different from the battle armor Wu Yun wore daily; no one would ever guess that this was a True Treasure armor.
In giving Wu Yun a True Treasure, Lanzang City Lord had considered many things; weapons are easily exposed, and only armor-type treasures are the most suitable.
"Universe Ocean?" Wu Yun's acting skills exploded.
"Don't ask so much; you don't need to know yet." Lanzang City Lord reminded him. "This True Treasure armor can be used once you have gained the recognition of the laws of time, but apart from damage reduction, you must absolutely not use its other abilities."
Many True Treasure armors possess various functions.
For instance, some armors can release domains, while others can transform into weapons for combat.
If it is used only for damage reduction, even a Universe Venerable would not be able to see any clues, unless it were a Universe Lord controlling time and space who could discover the anomaly.
"For these days, stay in the Nine Star Sea to cultivate until it is time for your life-and-death tempering." Lanzang City Lord said. "The Nine Star Sea is also beneficial for cultivating laws."
"Thank you, Teacher."
After Wu Yun bowed, he exited this world. His Blood Luo Clone had already finished possessing the special life form, and after a moment of thought, he prepared to initiate the simulation.
Even if he simulated into the Swallowed Star world, it wouldn't matter; Wu Yun would choose high-difficulty achievements. If he could succeed, he would soar straight to the top.
After leaving the residence of Lanzang City Lord, Wu Yun finally activated the simulation. A mysterious ripple descended, and the scene before his eyes changed abruptly.
[Simulation initiated.]
[Simulated world is being drawn...]
[Simulated world has finished loading: Snow Eagle Lord world.]
[This simulation is a normal simulation; please choose one random talent.]
Among hundreds of bubbles, Wu Yun chose one based on his intuition.
[Congratulations to the host for drawing the random blue talent: Accumulate and Break Through.]
This blue talent is quite interesting; as long as Wu Yun accumulates enough during the simulation, he will definitely achieve a breakthrough in the end.
However, this is only a blue-level Accumulate and Break Through; it is possible to accumulate until the end of one's lifespan without breaking through, and it also has its own upper limit.
For example, from Transcendent to Deity, accumulating for a hundred years might be enough, but the later stages require an increasingly exaggerated amount of time, and there are also restrictions on the level; once one reaches True God or Ruler, it will become ineffective.
[Please choose an achievement goal.]
[1. Open the Divine Sea and become a Deity with a Grade 2 Divine Heart.]
[2. Open the Divine Sea and become a World Deity with a Grade 1 Divine Heart.]
[3. Comprehend the complete Heaven and Earth Rules and become a True God of the Heaven and Earth Realm.]
[After the simulation is successful, the host can inherit the talent: Accumulate and Break Through.]
[After successfully choosing simulation achievement 3, you can upgrade Accumulate and Break Through to a purple talent.]
Wu Yun was calculating in his heart that if the simulated world were the Swallowed Star or Desolate Era world, he would aim for the high-difficulty options.
He had clones in both of these worlds. Although he lacked a memory link with his Desolate Era clone, he could at least monitor his status of life and death.
However, the Snow Eagle Lord world was different, and the Accumulate and Break Through talent was very tempting to Wu Yun. In his previous two simulations, there had been no mention of being able to inherit talents.
After some thought, he realized he truly had no way to inherit a Distinguished Background.
"I'll aim to become a deity with a Grade Two God Heart. The difficulty of a Grade One God Heart is too high, yet the rewards are exactly the same. Especially in a scenario without a Distinguished Background, what would I do if I were born in the Material Realm?"
Wu Yun's cautious personality took hold, and he chose the first option.
[You are born in the Tianyu Universe, in an ordinary family within the Divine Realm.]
[Because you possess memories from before your transmigration, you are very intelligent. You realize you are in the Snow Eagle Lord world simply by hearing your parents mention star domains, God Hearts, and Profound Mysteries during their casual chats.]
Wu Yun thought to himself that his luck was quite good. Even without a Distinguished Background, he was born in the Divine Realm, and both his parents were deities—stronger than in his previous two simulations.
[The heaven and earth energy in the Divine Realm is extremely surging and vast, making it highly suitable for cultivation. Your body grows robustly, and you quickly become even stronger than you were before your transmigration.]
[At age six, you begin your cultivation. Under your parents' guidance, you make rapid progress, becoming familiar with various techniques. Your physical progress, in particular, is many times faster than it would have been in the Material Realm.]
[Cultivation in the Divine Realm is completely different from the Material Realm; the Dou Qi methods you practice are far more refined.]
[You build a very solid foundation, and with the guidance of deities, your realm does not lag behind either.]
[By age nine, you are already comparable to a Meteor Knight.]
[You feel something is wrong because your parents often associate with deities who appear evil. You feel you need to cultivate even harder to gain the power to protect yourself as soon as possible.]
[At age thirteen, you reach the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.]
[In the same year, you become a Title Rank.]
"As expected of a being from the Divine Realm. You skip the Human, Earth, and Heaven ranks, and even the Silver Moon rank—to become a Title Rank so early." Wu Yun was quite surprised.
This speed of cultivation was unthinkable in the Material Realm.
[At age nineteen, you become a Transcendental Lifeform.]
"I remember that in the Material Realm, becoming a Transcendental in your twenties is considered exceptional talent, even the youngest in a millennium. In the Divine Realm, nineteen is still quite ordinary." Wu Yun felt this time was going very smoothly.
If he had known it would be this smooth, he should have just set his goal to be a World Lord.
In terms of resources, the Material Realm simply cannot compare, especially regarding heaven and earth energy. A single breath from Wu Yun would be equivalent to what cultivators in the Material Realm struggle to absorb for a long time.
[At age twenty, your parents are killed by an assassin from the Bloodblade Tavern. For some unknown reason, the assassin does not kill you, and you flee your home in a panic.]
[You find a childhood friend to discuss the matter, but they have no solutions and only give you some God Crystals before showing you the door.]
[You experience the coldness of the world and swear to cultivate with all your might.]
"..." Wu Yun suddenly realized that a Distinguished Background is a relative concept. If he hadn't changed his talent this time, looking at his birth in the Divine Realm, his parents would have at least needed to be World Lords.
They might even have been Grade Three or Grade Four World Lords.
In his previous two simulations, his parents being Primordial Daoists or a World Lord were certainly considered a Distinguished Background relative to those environments.
With trillions of deities in the Divine Realm, this birth was truly ordinary, so it was no wonder he encountered such a situation.
[You live off your savings and cultivate slowly, but the incident leaves a deep mark on you, and you often wake up from nightmares.]
Wu Yun cursed silently, wondering how such a powerful assassin organization could exist. The Bloodblade Tavern was the strongest force in the entire Tianyu Universe, and absolutely no one could regulate them.
Fortunately, he didn't die; as long as he was alive, there were infinite possibilities.
[At age twenty-three, you find a job in the City Lord's mansion, responsible for standing guard at the gate. You live on a meager salary while trying to balance your cultivation.]
[The work is exhausting, but you grit your teeth and persist, never neglecting your cultivation. You work hard, wanting to improve and take revenge for the parents of this life.]
This was the most miserable he had ever been in a simulation. Even knowing the plot, it was meaningless; he couldn't obtain any of the golden fingers that Xue Ying had.
[At age twenty-eight, you are favored by the patrol captain. He asks if you want to join the core of White Sand City and become an inner guard. At this moment, you choose: A: Accept, B: Refuse.]
Wu Yun had been standing guard for five years, and there was no other description in between; one could imagine what kind of life he had been living.
"White Sand City?" Wu Yun chose to accept immediately. The City Lord was a Grade Three World Lord, not weak in the Divine Realm, and had connections to the Bloodblade God Emperor.
Moreover, he had no other options now. If he kept standing guard like this, would he even be a Demigod by the day he died?
His goal was to become a deity with a Grade Two God Heart.
Without the cultivation of an organization, relying purely on himself was too difficult.
