Master

The villas in the Heavenly Region had no differences in quality. Whenever someone fell, their villa became vacant, and its number was merely a symbol to distinguish it from the others. When a new World Lord member arrived, they were randomly assigned an empty villa. This time, Ye Muxuan had been assigned Villa 009726.

When the blue light above the villa fully lit up, it seemed to awaken. Even though it existed only in the Virtual Universe, it now had a touch of life about it!

Ye Muxuan teleported to Villa 009726, where the villa staff provided by the Virtual Universe were already in place. From then on, Ye Muxuan had two residences in the Virtual Universe.

One was the lakeside cottage at Yunmeng Lake on Qianyan Island, Mingyou Continent; the other was Villa 009726 in the Heavenly Region of Yuxiang Mountain, owned by the Virtual Universe Company. Whenever he logged into the Virtual Universe, he could choose between the lakeside cottage at Yunmeng Lake and Yuxiang Mountain.

The villa's exterior remained unchanged, but Ye Muxuan had already had Nine Phoenix arrange the interior to his usual preferences.

At that moment, Ye Muxuan was in the meditation room on the third floor.

He opened the screen before him and reviewed the information brought by the purple-robed envoy once more. Finally, his gaze settled on the six King-level grandmasters.

Four of the six belonged to the Virtual Universe Company, while the other two belonged to the Giant Axe Dojo. Of the four from the Virtual Universe Company, two had become Immortals by following the Origin Law of Wind, and the other two had followed the Origin Law of Light.

The Jinghong Chaos Stele focused on the Time Origin Law. But the Time Origin Law was the superior law of the three laws of Wind, Thunder and Lightning, and Light, so it was not unusual for Immortals who followed those three Origin Laws to study it.

King Tianjing, King Shaoling, King Moke, and King Ziyu were the four grandmasters from the Virtual Universe Company who followed the Jinghong Lineage. Even the weakest among them had reached Limit King Level! King Tianjing, in particular, was a renowned powerhouse of Invincible King Rank. His self-created secret technique, Autumn Killing Secret Canon, was valued at 900,000 points in the Virtual Universe Company's internal treasury!

Ye Muxuan had also found Extreme Wind Secret Canon, the technique he had focused on cultivating, in the treasury. It was priced at only 40,000 points. Yet he had spent five billion Military Merit—equivalent to 50,000 Hunyuan—to obtain it back then.

But since his Law Comprehension had now caught up with that of the creator of Extreme Wind Secret Canon, the technique served only as a reference to him. Even its Ninth Form would be of little use now. He needed a better secret technique.

Fortunately, the treasury had plenty of excellent techniques!

Ye Muxuan glanced at his personal information at the bottom of the screen. His free points allowance was 100,000,000, and his remaining points were 2,607,400.

That was after he had passed the Thirteenth Floor of the Heavenly Bridge, the Fourteenth Layer of the Illusion Sea, and earned a perfect score at the Immortal Altar, as well as receiving an additional 100,000 points. It was a considerable sum, and represented all of Ye Muxuan's current wealth. But compared to the treasures in the treasury—especially the secret techniques—it was nowhere near enough. The complete versions of the top hundred or so techniques alone could cost hundreds of billions of points. Even with a free allowance of 100 million, he could barely make a dent.

Ye Muxuan carefully browsed the wealth of information in the treasury, quietly weighing his needs.

Points were useless if they couldn't be exchanged for treasures that increased his strength. And a powerhouse's strength wasn't just their own abilities. External treasures such as battle armor, weapons, Auxiliary Plant Lifeforms, detectors, and even spaceships were all part of their strength.

With Locke Divine Water, there was no problem growing his Sword Leaf Grass to the ninth World Lord rank, so he no longer needed the battle armor generally used by World Lords. But cultivating his Cloud-Touching Vine to Immortal Level would be no easy task. Once he succeeded, he wouldn't need the armor generally used by Immortal Deities, either. The only things that could draw his interest would be Heavy Treasures of that level!

As he considered the matter, Ye Muxuan opened the "Spaceships" category.

The several high-performance spaceships he owned were all spoils from the Outer Battlefield. The best was the Machine Race's E9 Rank pyramid-shaped spaceship, which could reach 35 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe. The other three he had kept were mainly mementos. In terms of performance, even the F3 Rank all-metal spaceship fell short.

As for the spoils from the Sky Wolf Race World Lord, he had already taken the best spaceship for himself. The rest were no different from the ones he had previously disposed of. They looked like they were worth over a hundred million, but they were all cannon-fodder ships. He simply couldn't be bothered to deal with them now.

After a brief consideration, Ye Muxuan gave up on buying a new spaceship. The ships in the treasury that caught his eye cost hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of points—far beyond what he could afford. He had no interest in the cheap ones. Besides, the E9 Rank Machine Race spaceship he already owned was more than enough for his World Lord stage. Once he broke through to Immortality and grew stronger, he was sure he could get a better ship.

Besides, the F3 Rank all-metal spaceship he owned, built from Black-Veined Iron Mother, was made of excellent material. Its only shortcomings were its craftsmanship, the solidified Secret Patterns, and its energy shield. Rather than buy a new ship, he could spend some points to have the Virtual Universe Company's repair staff fully upgrade it. That would be cheaper and less troublesome. Alternatively, he could cultivate a Metal Lifeform and merge it with the ship.

After all, he quite liked the bird-shaped design of the vessel.

And weapons...

Ye Muxuan's eyes flickered as he silently opened the weapons category in the treasury.

World Lords and even Ordinary Immortals generally used standard or custom weapons. But those exceptional World Lords and Immortals who had begun creating their own secret techniques would usually gather large quantities of materials to forge weapons capable of bringing their full strength to bear. A custom-made weapon could often let them unleash their full power. That had been the main reason he had competed with that Sky Wolf Race World Lord for Star Gravel Sand back then!

After all, even a King-level Immortal would need extraordinary luck to get their hands on a Heavy Treasure. Otherwise, they would have to receive one from an elder, and their own strength would need to be at least Limit King Level. That was why Ye Muxuan was firmly convinced that he must never reveal that he possessed the top-tier Soul-type Heavy Treasure, Soul Brilliance, before reaching Limit King Level.

The weak had no right to possess treasures!

Ye Muxuan had already gained recognition from the Origin Law of Wind, and his comprehension of the Law of Time had also reached a profound level. Now that he was studying the Jinghong Chaos Stele, he was making rapid progress in the Law of Time. His weapon of choice was the Wind Shadow Blade, and the blade in his hand had accompanied him through tens of thousands of years of battle on the Outer Battlefield.
