Sword Leaf Grass

Therefore, he now needed to cultivate another type of plant lifeform with formidable offensive power to bolster his combat capabilities. Given his current financial resources, he could at least attempt to cultivate a World Lord rank plant lifeform.

Moreover... a flash of the person he failed to save a century ago crossed Ye Muxuan's mind. His eyes lowered slightly, and he then cast his gaze upon several other options.

Heavenly Profound Vine, Gold-Shattering Grass, Bright Sun Grass, Star-Eating Grass... Ye Muxuan's gaze swept over them one by one. Each entry was accompanied by a detailed description, until his eyes finally settled on one specific plant lifeform.

Sword Leaf Grass!

Cultivating a Sword Leaf Grass to the World Lord rank results in a minimum of 9-Leaf, a medium of 36-Leaf, and a maximum of 81-Leaf! Once an 81-Leaf Sword Leaf Grass successfully breaks through to the Immortal level, it rivals a Peak King Level, capable of easily killing a low-level King and severely wounding a high-level King! Even the weakest 9-Leaf Sword Leaf Grass, upon reaching the Immortal level, is enough to rival a high-level Marquis and easily slaughter ordinary Immortals!

While the future potential seems incredibly impressive, two major drawbacks limit the popularity of the Sword Leaf Grass. First is the cost of cultivation resources; even raising the weakest 9-Leaf Sword Leaf Grass to the World Lord rank requires millions of Hunyuan Units. Such an investment is generally enough to cultivate an ordinary Cloud-Touching Vine to the Immortal level!

Second, before reaching the Immortal level, the Sword Leaf Grass provides almost no value! A World Lord rank Sword Leaf Grass, even the strongest 81-Leaf variant, possesses auxiliary capabilities—and even its strongest offensive capabilities—that fall short of the attack power of a 256-vine Cloud-Touching Vine!

When super-powered individuals purchase auxiliary plant lifeforms for their descendants, unless they are extremely doting, they generally wouldn't buy a plant that requires billions or even tens of billions of Hunyuan Units to cultivate. And those super-powered individuals who possess such wealth already have strength that far exceeds what the Sword Leaf Grass could assist with!

Therefore, the Sword Leaf Grass is either kept in seed form, rarely purchased to be raised as a seedling, or cultivated all the way to the Immortal level to become a super plant lifeform capable of killing low-level Kings!

Of course, cases where the cultivation fails midway, causing tens of billions of Hunyuan Units to go down the drain, are actually quite common. After all, an Immortal level Sword Leaf Grass is truly worth the gamble!

These two major drawbacks result in the exchange price of a Sword Leaf Grass seedling in the treasury being only 3,000 Hunyuan Units, or 300 million Military Merit! One must realize that the Star-Eating Grass, also famous for its offensive strangulation, costs 300,000 Hunyuan Units for a single seedling! It even requires a certain status and standing; without the right channels, you can't even buy one!

Ye Muxuan's eyes lowered as he exchanged for the Sword Leaf Grass, along with various precious resources to cultivate it to the Universe Rank, costing tens of thousands of Hunyuan Units.

His Military Merit alone was insufficient, so this transaction was a mix of Military Merit and money. He spent 1,200 Hunyuan Units and 180 million Military Merit, leaving him with 3,550,000 Military Merit remaining!

"Beep! 180,000,000 Military Merit deducted, 3,550,000 remaining! 1,200 Hunyuan Units deducted from personal account, balance 457,864 Hunyuan Units! 24,567 Hunyuan Units deducted from personal account, balance 433,297 Hunyuan Units."

"Beep! Warrior Ye Muxuan, you have exchanged for one Sword Leaf Grass seedling. The relevant items will be delivered to the 016 Barracks Base within three hours. Please be ready to receive them!"

Ye Muxuan looked at the remaining money in his account; this was all the cash he had left, as the rest had been converted into various resources! Of course, he still possessed some extremely precious treasures he hadn't sold, such as the Star Gravel Sand, which was worth 800,000 Hunyuan Units, along with other items totaling over a million. If he were truly desperate for money, that F3 Rank pure-metal spaceship could also be sold for a million Hunyuan Units, though he would only sell it in an emergency, and buying it back later wouldn't be easy. As for the remaining few million Military Merit, Ye Muxuan ignored them; even if converted to money, it would only be a few dozen Hunyuan Units, a sum he didn't care for.

With 430,000 Hunyuan Units left in his account, he was wealthier than even some ordinary Immortals, let alone World Lords. However, compared to the Sword Leaf Grass he was about to receive and cultivate, this was merely a drop in the bucket!

For a Sword Leaf Grass worth 3,000 Hunyuan Units, the cost of cultivating it to the Universe Rank alone was nearly ten times its initial price. By the Domain Lord rank, it would likely cost hundreds of thousands of Hunyuan Units, and by the World Lord rank, it would exceed a million!

Fortunately... he still had a treasure trove that only he could access, requiring only the completion of a single entrusted task!

Ye Muxuan glanced at the many videos pushed by the Virtual Universe Company—these were some of the most popular videos from the last decade or so—and then began to have his Intelligent Optical Brain update the star charts in its database.

The star charts within the universe are not static; every star is constantly rotating at any given moment, and the galaxies they belong to are also in constant motion. Perhaps after billions of epochs, the star charts would become completely unrecognizable!

And currently, in the entire Primal Universe, only the Virtual Universe of the Human Race is capable of performing regular updates on star charts!

Although the Intelligent Optical Brain operated at an extremely high speed, not inferior to a human Immortal and even exceeding them in some aspects, the sheer volume of data regarding galaxy coordinates and information for the entire Human Race's universe kingdoms remained incredibly complex and vast. It took a full two hours before the Intelligent Optical Brain signaled that the information update was complete!

Ye Muxuan browsed through the updated star charts, finally moving his gaze away from a Universe Secret Region within the Qianyan Star Sector of the Mingyou Universe Kingdom, and letting it land on another location.

Ganwu Universe Kingdom, Crimson Star Sector, Moli Star System...

"Nine Phoenix, how long is the fastest route to the Moli Star System in the Crimson Star Sector of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom!" Ye Muxuan spoke, looking at the Intelligent Optical Brain perched on his shoulder like a small bird.

"Master can transmit to the Seventh Battlefield via the God Kingdom Channel, then use the God Kingdom as a transit station to transmit directly to Cangniao Planet within the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. From the Cangniao Planet jump point, enter the Dark Universe. At the speed of Master's Machine Race Spaceship, it will take approximately three years to reach the Crimson Star Sector!"

The Primal Universe is truly too vast. God Kingdom transmission doesn't actually take much time, but with the fastest Machine Race E9 Rank spaceship Ye Muxuan currently possessed, which had a speed of 35 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe, it would still require three years of travel! This meant the spatial distance between the Crimson Star Sector and Cangniao Planet exceeded one billion light-years!

And this was just the distance within the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, far from the distances between the major universe kingdoms.

This was only possible because of the speed of the Machine Race E9 Rank spaceship. If it were a ship from the Human Race, given Ye Muxuan's current status, the best he could buy would likely be an ordinary E9 Rank ship, which might only reach three to five times the speed of light in the Dark Universe, or ten times at most. In that case, the travel time alone could take decades!

"Master, the military personnel have arrived at the door!" Just as Ye Muxuan was deep in thought, the Intelligent Optical Brain Nine Phoenix, floating on his shoulder, reminded him.

Exiting the virtual universe, Ye Muxuan walked out of the living room and arrived at the villa gate, where three soldiers in standard military armor were already waiting.
