Special Sensitivity

Over the past year, he had sparred with many World Lords and discussed things with several Immortal Deities. He had gained quite a lot. But the strongest among the Immortals present were only at Marquis Level, and his Law Comprehension had already reached that level. Without guidance from someone stronger, mere sparring and discussion would do little to help either him or those Immortal Deities make further progress. And in the Initial Universe, there were not only stronger experts, but plenty of them!

The catch was that you had to earn their recognition!

The weakest permanent residents of Chaos City were King-level Immortals, and there were even quite a few Venerables. If he could enter the Core Layer of one of the Five Great Powers, he would gain access to its internal treasury, where there were plenty of even more powerful Secret Techniques!

There were Secret Techniques for every level, from Marquis Rank and King Rank to Venerable Level, Overlord, and even Universe Lord.

Ten thousand years ago, when he had demonstrated Immortal Level combat strength, the Virtual Universe Company had sent someone to recruit him. But at the time, Muxuan had been entrusted with a task by the Grand Elder and had various concerns. After thinking it over, he had declined.

But Ye Muxuan knew far more about the Virtual Universe Company than Muxuan did. If he wanted to fulfill the Grand Elder's instructions, joining the Virtual Universe Company was a more effective path. If he entered the Core Layer, he would have far more opportunities than he would as a lone wolf, fighting on his own.

So, for Muxuan, entering the Initial Universe was a chance to increase his odds of breaking through to Immortal Deity. For Ye Muxuan, entering the Initial Universe was merely the first plan toward his primary goal.

His second objective—Locke Divine Water—was already complete. For at least the next several thousand years, perhaps even tens of thousands, his main focus would be on his primary goal.

And successfully entering the Initial Universe was the first plan.

The one hundred and twenty experts present watched as the hatch of the F8-grade Earth Soul Rock Mother ship opened. Eleven figures flew out, and their auras swept over the crowd. The might of their Immortal Deity auras was like a prison!

Ye Muxuan narrowed his eyes.

At least ten of the eleven radiated an Immortal aura that seemed even more powerful than that of the ten Marquis Immortals present!

Among the twenty Immortal Deities present who had exchanged for spots, ten were Peak Immortal Army Lords, nine were Early Marquis, and one was High-level Marquis. Of the eleven who had disembarked, at least the ten in the back were definitely above High-level Marquis!

The leader, an Immortal carrying a black War Blade on his back, stood about three meters tall. His long hair hung loose, and his Immortal aura pressed down like an abyss! His might alone overpowered all thirty Immortals present!

"That lord is definitely King Rank, probably even Peak King Level." A nearby Early Marquis Immortal spoke to Ye Muxuan through Immortal Divine Power, his face grim.

The Outer Battlefield was no stranger to King-level Immortals. There were several Peak King Level and even Limit King Level experts on the Third Battlefield, so they could tell from his aura alone that he was at least Peak King Level!

Ye Muxuan nodded slightly. His gaze fell "casually" on the armor worn by the Peak King Level Immortal and the War Blade on his back.

That black battle armor and the black War Blade.

They were both Heavy Treasures!

For no apparent reason, the moment this ship had appeared in space tens of thousands of kilometers away, his instincts had told him that two Heavy Treasures were approaching.

Now that this Peak King Level Immortal had appeared, Ye Muxuan's instincts told him that the black armor he wore and the War Blade on his back were the Heavy Treasures!

It seemed he could sense these two Heavy Treasures from tens of thousands of kilometers away!

"Good. Everyone's here." The Peak King Level Immortal with long, loose hair wore black armor and carried a black War Blade on his back. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's as he surveyed the crowd. Not one of the one hundred and twenty experts from the Outer Battlefield dared meet his gaze.

"I am Demon Blade King! I've accepted a Venerable's order to represent the Outer Battlefield and escort you to the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters. Everyone, board the ship."

The one hundred and twenty experts stirred uneasily, but not one stepped forward.

Demon Blade King grinned, baring two rows of sharp teeth.

"Good. You're all cautious. You haven't disgraced the army." Demon Blade King flicked his wrist and tossed out a small, exquisite device shaped like a bracer. It hovered about ten meters above the ground. A hazy beam swept over the one hundred and twenty people, and a string of information appeared in the air, forming a screen.

The screen displayed a rough profile of each of the one hundred and twenty experts present.

"All right. The Virtual Universe System has conducted a full-scale scan and review. Now, everyone board the ship." The Immortal Deity with the black War Blade on his back swept his gaze over the one hundred and twenty people before him. "Don't make me say it twice. Anyone who hasn't boarded within three minutes will be considered to have forfeited."

Three minutes was an exceedingly long time for a World Lord or an Immortal. Ye Muxuan had killed a World Lord Fifth Order expert in 5.7 seconds, and the actual strike had taken only 0.1 seconds.

Ye Muxuan glanced at the information on the screen. It included a rough profile of him, but it was all general information and involved no private details.

Warrior Muxuan, No. 084 (World Lord Level), Peak World Lord, World Lord General of the Third Battlefield, recognized by the Origin Law of Wind, weapon: fifth-order Origin Force War Blade, Wind Shadow Blade.

He knew that much of his information was no secret to the Virtual Universe Company. The company claimed it would never reveal personal information, and Ye Muxuan understood that. Ordinary details were one thing, but if any information concerned the foundation and heritage of the entire Human Race, then the highest levels of the Human Race would naturally be informed. Still, the information shown now wasn't confidential. You could piece it together just by asking a few World Lords in the rest hall who had spent a long time on the Outer Battlefield.

But he was confident that even the Virtual Universe Company didn't know some things yet. Locke Divine Water, for instance, or the Soul-type Heavy Treasure.

Seven years was an incredibly short time in the universe. During the more than seven years between his departure from Cangniao Planet and arrival at Longyan Planet, he hadn't connected to the Virtual Universe at all. He had used the ship's Star Map, which had been updated in advance. Unless a Universe Lord had revived someone in the Moli Star System and happened to see him there, no one could know where he had gone.

So Ye Muxuan wasn't surprised to see his information. It was only the most basic profile.

As he considered this, a Marquis Immortal had already started moving. A dozen or so Immortals boarded the ship, followed by Ye Muxuan and the other one hundred World Lords, who filed aboard one after another.

The ship was triangular, with a wingspan of over a thousand meters. Its entire body was made of pure F8-grade metal, Earth Soul Rock Mother. Its edges were razor-thin and sharp; in flight, it could slice through a star with ease!
