Leaving Chaos City

"Detection: Ye Muxuan has passed the World Lord level Primordial Tongtian Mountain. The reward of 1 billion points has been credited. Current balance: 1,079,293,000."

Ye Muxuan was slightly stunned, then overjoyed.

Over one billion points—this was a figure that not only the people who signed the agreement with him back then could never have imagined, but even he himself could not have predicted that his improvement over these three thousand years would be so rapid. At the start, he had at best intended to hold something back, but he estimated that by the time he left Chaos City, he would only be certain of passing the sixteenth level, with the seventeenth level being the most he could attempt. He hadn't expected that under the guidance of his senior brother, Heavenly Feather King, he would make such significant progress, directly clearing the eighteenth level.

In reality, of these over one billion points, a full billion were the reward for passing the Primordial Tongtian Mountain. Since he was now a World Lord, the points were credited immediately.

At the World Lord stage, passing the Heaven and Earth Tongtian Mountain rewards 100 million points, passing the Primordial Tongtian Mountain rewards 1 billion points, and passing the Primal Tongtian Mountain rewards 100 billion points! However, generally speaking, World Lords capable of passing the Primal Tongtian Mountain have already cleared the twentieth level of the Heavenly Bridge, only half a step away from becoming a Venerable. Once such a genius World Lord becomes an Immortal, they easily achieve Limit King Level or even Invincible King Level; it is well worth investing 100 billion points to cultivate such a talent.

While over a billion points seemed like a lot, Ye Muxuan had many places to spend them now, and this amount was merely a drop in the bucket.

He had already studied the Miscellaneous Theories of Clear Shadows up to the sixth volume and was not far from fully comprehending it. The seventh volume would cost 1 billion points, the eighth would be 10 billion, and the entire set would be 100 billion! Furthermore, he needed to purchase movement-type secret techniques for when he prepared to study the "Treading Wind" combat boots, and anything he would consider worthy would cost at least a million points. Not to mention, his two plant lifeforms, the Cloud-Touching Vine and the Sword Leaf Grass, were already at the ninth stage of the World Lord level; wanting them to break through and become Immortal would also be a major expense!

Therefore, he had to break into the Primal Secret Realm in two hundred years! If nothing else, he would save ten percent on the points required to exchange for secret techniques. For something like the seventh volume of Miscellaneous Theories of Clear Shadows, that would mean saving an extra 100 million points directly.

Thinking of this, Ye Muxuan searched for how many points it would take to cultivate his 108-main-vine Cloud-Touching Vine into the strongest 360-main-vine form. Nine Phoenix honestly listed the points required for various materials, and after one glance, Ye Muxuan silently changed his direction.

Well, cultivating it to 256 main vines was much easier. As for 360... perhaps he should wait; it wasn't that urgent, right?

After all, the Cloud-Touching Vine had followed him and fought for tens of thousands of years. Because it had always lacked resources, it hadn't evolved into an Immortal. The best plan to evolve a 108-main-vine Cloud-Touching Vine into an Immortal required materials costing 18.1 million points, and even then, there was only an 80% success rate.

Moreover, he had some ideas; he wanted to cultivate the World Lord level Cloud-Touching Vine to 360 main vines first, and then evolve it into the strongest Cloud-Touching Vine! In that case, it would only require materials costing over 10 billion points. If he waited until the 108-main-vine Cloud-Touching Vine evolved into an Immortal before upgrading it to 360 main vines, it would cost over 100 billion points!

If you fall behind at the start, you have to spend dozens or even hundreds of times more resources to catch up later!

As for now, he would just upgrade it to 256 main vines. After a twenty percent discount, it would only cost 486,000 points, which he could still afford.

As for the Sword Leaf Grass... thanks to the Locke Divine Water obtained after completing that commission, three thousand years later, the Sword Leaf Grass was now in its strongest form: the eighty-one-leaf Sword Leaf Grass. However, to evolve it into an Immortal, just exchanging for those precious materials would require 46.9 billion points!

And evolving a World Lord level Cloud-Touching Vine with 360 main vines into an Immortal only cost about 11.6 billion points!

However, regardless of which one it was, over 10 billion points was not something the current Ye Muxuan needed to consider. Plant-based auxiliary lifeforms were indeed not something an ordinary person could afford to raise.

Should he sell some Locke Divine Water? Inside that small token world, even after cultivating the Sword Leaf Grass to its strongest eighty-one-leaf form, the amount of Locke Divine Water consumed was actually not as much as he had expected—or rather, there was more Locke Divine Water than he had anticipated.

But after thinking about it, he decided against it. He would wait until he really had a need for it. After all, he had many clansmen behind him; when he had excess Locke Divine Water, it would be good to give them some to cultivate plant lifeforms to protect the clan.

Likewise, besides auxiliary plant lifeforms, there were spaceships, auxiliary Metal Lifeforms, customizing better combat blades, purchasing better detectors and armor, and so on. It seemed his points would still be stretched thin.

The next day, a spaceship leaving Chaos City appeared above the city. The thousand-meter-long vessel looked like a fish, its "tail" swaying slightly, appearing incredibly lifelike!

This time, it was not Kingdom Lord Mingyou sending them out. Spaceships entered and exited the Initial Universe at fixed times, and this was the case for Ye Muxuan and the others now.

Ye Muxuan glanced over, his eyes narrowing slightly!

This was a spaceship fused with an auxiliary Immortal Metal Lifeform. It not only gave the ship self-repair capabilities but also endowed it with partial "living" characteristics, giving the ship the possibility of "evolution."

Even some King Level Immortals couldn't afford such a ship. For instance, his senior brother, Heavenly Feather King, definitely couldn't afford it right now! It wasn't that he didn't have the assets; as a Peak King Level, he had the strength to purchase such a ship, but he couldn't just buy a ship and neglect the improvement of his own strength.

Secret techniques, weapons, armor, spaceships, auxiliary plant lifeforms, auxiliary research treasures, and so on—all were personal assets. A good spaceship was merely a part of one's own strength.

As the ship arrived, the Immortals and World Lords who had long received the news gathered under the ship, looking up at the vessel in the sky.

Many people looked directly at Ye Muxuan, as if they were looking at a monster!

Zhendan, Kong Yan, and the others had been able to improve from the twelfth level to the fourteenth level during their three thousand years in Chaos City, which definitely counted as genius! Except for this freak Ye Muxuan, among the more than one thousand World Lords who came to the Initial Universe this time, not a single one had passed the fifteenth level! Even among the Immortals, only one had barely passed the eighteenth level and successfully achieved King Level!

"You're amazing this time, passing the eighteenth level directly. Are you trying to make us feel bad?" Li Zheng, standing beside him, slapped Ye Muxuan on the shoulder.

"Truly a monster," Zhendan said, his voice rumbling like thunder.

"I admire you," Kong Yan said, his eyes flickering.

"I just took a step ahead of you all; you will catch up sooner or later," Ye Muxuan nodded slightly, responding with a few words.
