"Thanks, Demon Venerable. I'll transfer the deposit to you first. Honesty is the most important thing in business." Venerable Xuantian immediately transferred five Heavy Treasure points to Demon Wing Venerable, then left his palace to meet up with the teammates who would be exploring with him.
Demon Wing Venerable was used to this. As one of the few Universe Overlords in the Human Race with spare Supreme Treasures, he often had Universe Venerables and Universe Overlords come to borrow them.
Most of the time, Demon Wing Venerable was happy to lend out his Supreme Treasures. The payment for renting them out might not be much after one or two loans, but it added up to a considerable fortune over time.
The income he had earned from renting out Supreme Treasures over the years was almost enough to buy himself another Supreme Treasure weapon.
Of course, he had to consider the borrower's purpose. If they were planning to gamble everything in a dangerous place, he would never lend out a Supreme Treasure. If they died, he would lose everything.
Thanks to his cautious nature, he had lent out Supreme Treasures many times, but had only suffered a total loss once. The Venerables in that exploration team had been extremely unlucky: they ran into a Top Universe Overlord from the Demon Race, and all three Venerables perished. The Demon Race Top Universe Overlord had also taken the Supreme Treasure that Demon Wing Venerable had lent them.
Fortunately, not long after that incident, the Primitive Stars opened. The Venerable had made some gains there, which allowed him to pay back the cost of Demon Wing Venerable's Supreme Treasure.
Of course, encountering a Top Universe Overlord had been an unexpected turn of events. No one could have foreseen it, so there was no one to blame.
After Venerable Xuantian left, Demon Wing Venerable mused to himself. My youngest disciple is about to venture out into the universe. What treasure should I give him for protection?
Staring at the Heavy Treasure points that had just arrived in his account, Demon Wing Venerable got an idea. Five Heavy Treasure points. I used to think that was a lot, but now it seems like so little. Never mind. I'll pay out of pocket and give him something good—something that'll serve him until he becomes a Venerable. With the strength of his Sky Canopy Python, earning Supreme Treasure points should be no trouble once he becomes a Venerable.
Meanwhile, in Chaos City, Qin Cang, at the center of the storm, remained perfectly calm. It was a habit he had cultivated over many years.
After learning that he was a member of the Yan God Clan, Qin Cang had devoted himself to cultivating the laws and tempering his mind.
After all, according to the original story, the Yan God Clan's temperament was unbelievably poor.
Years of cultivating his mind, along with his dealings with the people in his clan, had given Qin Cang a deep understanding of just how poor the Yan God Clan's temperament could be.
That was why he had shown no mercy when dealing with his fellow clansmen during his last assignment outside the clan. He had executed more than ten thousand of them in one go and set extremely strict rules. The clan would go on to deal with even more offenders on its own.
Qin Cang didn't expect himself to have Hong's all-embracing heart, Thor's Childlike Heart, or Luo Feng's unbreakable, diamond-hard will.
As long as he could calmly deal with whatever problems he faced, that would meet his minimum expectations. If he could develop the willpower of a Universe Venerable while still at the Immortal stage, all the better.
Unfortunately, Qin Cang's willpower was only comparable to that of a Peak Marquis so far. His Law Comprehension had reached King Level, but his willpower hadn't.
That was one of the goals he had set for himself: before becoming an Immortal, he would raise his willpower to the Peak King level or even higher!
After breaking through to Immortality, Qin Cang was confident that he would reach the King Limit or even Invincible King level. At that point, he would have to find a way to temper his willpower to the Venerable level.
The stronger one became, the more important the will of the heart became in comparison.
A World Master going mad and a Universe Master going mad could cause entirely different degrees of damage.
Chaos City, Blood Blade King's residence.
"Hahaha, Junior Brother, you should've seen how furious your Third Senior Sister was. It was so satisfying!" Blood Blade King laughed heartily. As long as Snow Imperial King didn't surpass him in strength, he had nothing to worry about. He could even stay in Chaos City forever.
"Senior Brother, I don't think Third Senior Sister is like that. She must have more important things to do." Qin Cang knew a little about the feud between the two of them.
"Forget about her. Little Junior Brother, according to the rules, anyone who passes the eighteenth level of the Sky Bridge can gain permanent residence in Chaos City. That means you can build a mansion of your own here. This is a big deal.
"No matter when you come to Chaos City in the future, you'll have a place of your own. Of course, you're always welcome to stay with me, but there's no reason to turn down something the clan is giving away for free.
"Come on, I already picked out a spot. It's not far from here, and once your place is built, it'll be close to your Third Senior Sister's residence too, though she hasn't been back in a long time. Our Eldest and Second Senior Brothers have places of their own in Chaos City as well, all in this neighborhood. Once yours is built, the residences of almost everyone in our sect will be connected.
"If you become a Venerable, and your Third Senior Sister and I manage to break through to Venerable as well, it'll be a wonderful story for the entire Human Race.
"Hahaha!"
Without waiting for Qin Cang to reply, Blood Blade King pulled him along to check out his new residence in Chaos City.
Before long, the two of them arrived in front of a three-story building.
"Junior Brother, what do you think of this spot?"
The location Blood Blade King had chosen suited Qin Cang perfectly. It wasn't far from Blood Blade King's residence, and it wasn't too far from the City Lord Mansion either.
The Human Race didn't have many Venerables and Kings yet. Qin Cang even suspected that by Luo Feng's era, Chaos City would have been expanded countless times.
At present, there were still plenty of vacant lots in Chaos City. Most of the powerful beings had chosen to build their residences near the City Lord Mansion.
In Qin Cang's terms, based on Earth, the City Lord Mansion was downtown, and all the residences of the powerful beings were within the second ring.
Chaos City was the only city in the Initial Universe, and there was plenty of room. After all, the Initial Universe was Original Ancestor's Miniature Universe, with a diameter of a full hundred million light-years. No matter how powerful the Human Race became, it would take who knew how long for everyone to have a mansion and fill up all that space. It wouldn't happen even by the end of this Reincarnation Era.
Besides, there was also Giant Axe's Miniature Universe, in addition to the Initial Universe.
At present, only the Human Race and the Demon Race had two Miniature Universes to serve as their bases.
However, the Demon Race had two top fighters it could deploy. After all, Original Ancestor had been suppressed, and wasn't released until the World Beast Crisis was over.
"Senior Brother, this is a great location, but I'm not too fond of the style of this three-story building," Qin Cang said.
The building wasn't in a style he liked. His favorite was still the style of a nine-story palace.
No other reason. It was spacious and looked impressive!
"Hahaha, I heard that your favorite is the style of Master's palace. Or are you just envious of your teacher's palace treasure?" Blood Blade King seemed to see right through him.
"You really understand me, Senior Brother." Qin Cang really did have his eye on Demon Wing Venerable's Nine-Story Pagoda palace, as well as Luo Feng's Star Tower, which was said to be a nine-story pagoda too. It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious. Even if he couldn't get one at this stage, he could at least shape his residence like a nine-story pagoda. Then, if he got a Palace-type Supreme Treasure later, he could copy the design exactly. Just imagine how impressive that would be!
"Hahaha, leave it to me."
Blood Blade King immediately contacted the company's construction crew to remodel Qin Cang's residence.
