Token of Trust

It has been over one hundred thousand years since he left his hometown. Whether it was the obsession of Muxuan or Ye Muxuan himself, he needed to go back.

"Very well." White Phoenix Palace Master nodded. "The news of you clearing the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge will certainly spread. The alien races will undoubtedly initiate assassination attempts against you. Returning to your hometown for a while before heading out will also serve to confuse them."

"However, you must remember: no matter how familiar you are with the Outer Battlefield, once you step outside the Barracks Base, danger is everywhere. Any slight negligence or carelessness will lead you to your death."

A genius who can clear the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge after only a hundred thousand years of cultivation is someone the alien races would definitely be determined to assassinate at a great cost! Look at Kodi, who was a personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, yet he was still plotted against and assassinated by the Bug Race. Even the Chaos City Lord could not resurrect him, even by reversing time!

Core members of the five major powers have a traditional rule: during the World Lord stage, they must undergo life-and-death training in the Outer Battlefield or the Universe Secret Region! Ye Muxuan leaving Chaos City and not showing his face here would certainly attract the attention of those with ulterior motives! Naturally, they would keep an eye on those World Lords appearing in the Outer Battlefield or the Universe Secret Region, especially those with formidable strength!

Not to mention that Ye Muxuan had fought in the Outer Battlefield for over a hundred thousand years; some intelligence on him had surely fallen into the hands of the alien races!

"After I settle some matters in my hometown, I will head back to the Outer Battlefield! Once I complete the life-and-death training mission there, I will consider exploring some Universe Secret Regions, though that will be in preparation for breaking through to become an Immortal." Ye Muxuan spoke, roughly outlining his future cultivation path to White Phoenix Palace Master.

This had been his goal during the World Lord stage all along! Or rather, the vast majority of ambitious World Lords are striving toward the breakthrough to become an Immortal! It was just that he had omitted one extremely important thing!

"Your senior brother Heavenly Feather King and several others are also in the Outer Battlefield. You can contact them once you are there; you have his contact information in the Virtual Universe." White Phoenix Palace Master instructed him.

Ye Muxuan nodded. He knew that besides Heavenly Feather King, three other senior brothers were currently in the Outer Battlefield. Among these four, Heavenly Feather King possessed the greatest strength, while the other three consisted of one at the high-level Marquis Rank and two at the peak of the Marquis Rank!

Heavenly Feather King's talent and comprehension were actually extremely high. Even though he started later and his entry sequence was only slightly earlier than Ye Muxuan's, his strength had improved rapidly, long since surpassing many other senior brothers. Today, he could easily rank in the top five among all these senior brothers and sisters!

If his strength were to advance further to the Limit King Level, he would be comparable to the third senior brother, second only to the seventh and the eldest senior brother!

"This is my token. It is made of C9-grade alloy, and you can crush it if you encounter danger." White Phoenix Palace Master took out a silver token engraved with a lifelike bird with wings spread and handed it to Ye Muxuan. "It contains a wisp of my spiritual imprint. As soon as the token is broken, I will immediately sense it and arrive as quickly as possible."

"Thank you, Teacher!" Ye Muxuan respectfully took the silver token and carefully tucked it away. This meant he had gained another trump card, and his ability to preserve his life had been elevated to a new level.

"However, I do not wish for you to crush it. I hope you can rely on yourself, stepping over the corpses of the alien races, to become someone they cannot kill even if they try—a powerhouse like your seventh senior brother, who can kill until the alien races tremble in fear." White Phoenix Palace Master continued to instruct him. "Most importantly, you must never be soul-enslaved. If you encounter danger that is truly impossible to resist, detonate yourself immediately. Once you become a soul slave, even your teacher cannot save you!"

"Yes, disciple will keep that in mind!" Ye Muxuan felt a tremor in his heart. Once one becomes a soul slave, there is never a chance to turn things around!

"Alright, you have just finished contemplating the Chaos Stele, so you must have some thoughts. I also have some matters to attend to here in Chaos City. If you have anything in the future, you can come directly to my independent plane to find me!" White Phoenix Palace Master said. As her voice faded, her figure vanished.

Watching his teacher's figure disappear, Ye Muxuan lowered his head. After remaining quiet for a long while, he went upstairs to the quiet room and took out the pair of dark cyan battle boots to begin refining them.

The top-tier Heavy Treasure boots, Treading Wind, possessed two layers of secret patterns. Ye Muxuan was only a World Lord, and even though his law comprehension had reached the eighteenth level, his base power was limited, so he could only activate the first layer of secret patterns. This was the same as his top-tier soul-type Heavy Treasure, Soul Brilliance.

After all, theoretically, Heavy Treasures are only used by Universe Venerables. The fact that he could activate the first layer of a Heavy Treasure's secret patterns already proved his extraordinary law comprehension.

"It seems I not only need to cultivate a soul defense secret technique, but I must also cultivate a movement technique." Ye Muxuan, sitting in the quiet room, pondered for a while before connecting to the Virtual Universe.

There was already a message from within the Virtual Universe.

Ye Muxuan opened it to read. As a World Lord coming from the Outer Battlefield, he was supposed to leave Chaos City tomorrow. However, as a core member of the Heavenly Region who had cleared the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, he had earned the right to reside in Chaos City permanently from the moment he cleared that level. Therefore, he needed to confirm whether he would be leaving with the group tomorrow.

Every time the cosmic passage between the Initial Universe and the Original Universe is opened, it consumes resources. Furthermore, the number of such passages is fixed; after all, the Original Ancestor is permanently suppressed, so there is no way to open more. Ye Muxuan's current status had not yet reached the level where one could be opened for him alone.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Muxuan chose to leave with the group tomorrow.

After submitting his choice, Ye Muxuan turned his attention to the secret techniques within the Virtual Universe Company. He possessed a significant amount of points. After obtaining Treading Wind and Soul Brilliance, he needed to delve deep into and explore the first layer of secret patterns of these two top-tier Heavy Treasures, while also creating the secret techniques most suitable for himself.

Soul Brilliance is a soul-type Heavy Treasure, and its power is entirely focused on soul defense, which is perfect for a warrior like Ye Muxuan. Thus, he needed to cultivate a set of soul defense secret techniques in the time before he went to the Outer Battlefield for training.

Treading Wind is a boot-type Heavy Treasure, designed for escaping and survival. To perfectly unleash the value of such a treasure, it must be paired with a movement technique. Although his movement techniques were mostly related to his blade techniques, this time he needed to cultivate a new type of movement technique. Before that, however, he could learn from the movement techniques created by his predecessors in the treasury.

Once he had contemplated the first layer of secret patterns of Treading Wind, he would then research movement techniques in a targeted manner. There was no rush for now, so Ye Muxuan focused his attention primarily on soul defense secret techniques.
