Residence in Chaos City

"Thanks, Demon Wing Venerable. I'll transfer the deposit to you now; integrity is the most important thing in business." Xuantian Venerable immediately transferred 5 treasure points to Demon Wing Venerable, then left the palace to rendezvous with the teammates he would be exploring with this time.

Demon Wing Venerable was long accustomed to this. As one of the few universe overlords in the human race with spare supreme treasures, he was frequently approached by universe venerables and universe overlords looking to borrow them.

Most of the time, Demon Wing Venerable was willing to lend them out. After all, while the rental fee for a single instance might not be high, it accumulated into a significant fortune over time.

Renting out treasures for so many years had earned him enough to almost afford a brand-new supreme treasure weapon.

Of course, he had to consider the borrower's objective. If they were going to gamble in dangerous territories, he would absolutely refuse to lend the treasure; if they fell in battle, he would lose everything.

Due to his cautious nature, in all his years of lending, he had only suffered a total loss once. That team of venerables had been extremely unlucky, running into a top-tier universe overlord of the Demon Race. All three venerables perished, and the supreme treasure Demon Wing Venerable had lent them was seized by that top-tier Demon Race overlord.

Fortunately, shortly after that incident, the Primitive Star opened, and that venerable managed to gain some rewards within it, finally paying off the debt for the lost treasure.

Of course, encountering a top-tier universe overlord was an accident that no one could have predicted, so he couldn't blame anyone else.

After Xuantian Venerable left, Demon Wing Venerable pondered to himself, "My little disciple is about to go out and venture into the universe. What kind of treasure should I give him for protection?"

Staring at the treasure points that had just arrived, Demon Wing Venerable had an idea. "5 treasure points—I used to think that was a lot, but now it seems like so little. Forget it, I'll pay out of my own pocket and give him something good. It should last him until he becomes a venerable. Once he achieves that, given the formidable nature of his Sky Canopy Python, I imagine earning treasure points won't be difficult for him."

Meanwhile, in Chaos City, Qin Cang, who was at the center of the storm, remained calm—a habit cultivated over many years.

After learning of his identity as a member of the Yan God Clan, Qin Cang focused on nothing but cultivating laws and tempering his mind.

After all, according to the original story, the temperament of the Yan God Clan was ridiculously poor.

Through years of mental cultivation and dealing with those within his clan, Qin Cang had gained a deep understanding of just how bad the Yan God Clan's temperament was.

Therefore, during his last assignment, he had shown no mercy to his own kin, executing over ten thousand people at once and establishing extremely strict rules. The number of those subsequently dealt with by the clan itself was even higher.

Qin Cang did not covet the all-encompassing mindset of Hong, the innocent heart of Thor, or the indestructible, diamond-like will of Luo Feng.

As long as he could calmly handle every problem he faced, that met his minimum requirement. If he could possess the will of a universe venerable while still at the immortal stage, that would be even better.

Unfortunately, even now, Qin Cang's will was only comparable to the peak of the Fenghou level. Although his comprehension of laws had reached the Fengwang level, his will had yet to catch up.

This was one of the goals Qin Cang had set for himself: to reach the peak of the Fengwang level in will, or even stronger, before advancing to immortality!

Once he broke through to immortality, Qin Cang was confident he would be at the limit of the Fengwang level, or perhaps even invincible among them. Then, he would have to find a way to hone his will to the venerable level.

When it came to mental will, the more powerful one's strength, the more important it became.

A mad world lord and a mad universe master could cause entirely different levels of destruction.

Chaos City, Blood Blade King's mansion.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother, you didn't see the look of exasperation on our Third Senior Sister's face—it was truly satisfying." Blood Blade King laughed heartily. As long as Snow Imperial King's strength didn't surpass his, he wasn't worried at all and could stay in Chaos City indefinitely.

"Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister doesn't seem like that kind of person. She likely has more important matters to attend to." Qin Cang was somewhat aware of the history between the two.

"Let's not talk about her. Little Junior Brother, according to the rules, once you pass the eighteenth level of the Sky Bridge, you gain permanent residency in Chaos City, which means you can build your own mansion here. This is a big deal.

From now on, whenever you come to Chaos City, you'll have a place of your own. Although I'm always happy to have you stay with me, you shouldn't pass up something the race gives away for free.

Come, come, I've already picked out a spot not far from here. Once it's built, it'll be close to your Third Senior Sister's residence—though she hasn't been back in a long time. Our Eldest and Second Senior Brothers also have their own dwellings in Chaos City, all in this same area. Once yours is built, our master's disciples will have residences almost all connected together.

If you break through to become a venerable, and your Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister also succeed, it would be a wonderful story for the entire human race. Haha!!"

Without waiting for Qin Cang to speak, Blood Blade King dragged him off to view the site in Chaos City.

Before long, the two arrived in front of a small three-story building.

"Junior Brother, how is this location?"

The place Blood Blade King had chosen perfectly matched Qin Cang's preferences; it wasn't far from Blood Blade King's residence, nor was it far from the City Lord Mansion.

The number of venerables and Fengwang-level experts in the human race was currently quite small. Qin Cang even suspected that by the time of Luo Feng's era, Chaos City would have been expanded many times over.

In the current Chaos City, there was still plenty of vacant land, and most experts chose to build their mansions near the City Lord Mansion.

To use the terminology from Qin Cang's Earth, if the City Lord Mansion was the city center, then the residences of all the experts were currently located within the second ring.

As the only city in the Initial Universe, Chaos City had plenty of space. After all, the Initial Universe was the small universe of the Original Ancestor, and its diameter was a full one hundred million light-years. Even if the human race were to become even more prosperous, it would take an unknown amount of time to fill that space, even with one mansion per person—not even by the end of this reincarnation era.

Furthermore, besides the Initial Universe, there was also the small universe of Giant Axe.

At this stage, the only races with two small universes as bases were the human race and the Demon Race.

However, the Demon Race could field two top-tier powerhouses, whereas the human race's Original Ancestor had been suppressed and was only released after the World Beast crisis was resolved.

"Senior Brother, this location is indeed excellent, but I don't really like the style of this three-story building," Qin Cang said.

The style of this small building wasn't to his taste; what he liked most was a nine-story palace.

For no other reason than that it was spacious and looked impressive!

"Haha, I've heard it said that you like the style of Master's palace the most. Are you coveting the palace treasure of our teacher?" Blood Blade King seemed to see right through him.

"Senior Brother knows me well." Qin Cang did indeed have his eyes on the nine-story pagoda-style palace of Demon Wing Venerable, and even Luo Feng's Star Tower, which was also said to be a nine-story pagoda. To say he wasn't envious would be a lie. Even if he couldn't reach that level now, building his residence in the style of a nine-story pagoda would be great. Once he obtained a real palace-type supreme treasure in the future, he could replicate it one-to-one—how cool would that be!

"Haha, leave that to me, Junior Brother."

With that, Blood Blade King began contacting the company's construction crew to renovate the residence for Qin Cang.
