Shopping

Qian Yu looked at the string of numbers and sighed inwardly.

This was probably what it felt like to get rich overnight.

But once money was in hand, the most important thing was spending it.

Qian Yu did not leave the bank. He began shopping directly in the VIP room.

"First, a spaceship."

The person in charge immediately brought up the spacecraft catalog.

Qian Yu glanced through it and directly chose the highest-grade F9-Class Cosmic Ship.

F9-Class, the ultimate ride of an Immortal God—fast, heavily defended, and fully equipped.

Price: 3.65 million Hunyuan Units.

"I'll take it."

"Next, battle armor and battle blades."

The person in charge brought up the catalog for battle armor and battle blades.

Qian Yu selected two sets of Immortal-Level Battle Armor and two Immortal-Level Battle Blades.

One set for himself and one as a spare.

At the same time, Qian Yu purchased a massive quantity of Cosmic Crystals.

Finally, detectors.

After thinking for a moment, Qian Yu said, "One top-tier Large Detector, with a wide range. And one Precision Small Detector, with a range within fifty million kilometers."

The Large Detector was for long-range detection, while the Small Precision Detector was for detailed detection.

These were all essential pieces of equipment for his future trip to the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Quote—42 million Hunyuan Units for the Large Detector, and 18 million Hunyuan Units for the Small Precision Detector.

"I'll take them."

After that round of shopping, he had spent less than 250 million Hunyuan Units in total.

Qian Yu looked at his account balance, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.

There were still more than 5 billion left.

This felt pretty good.

But his shopping was not over yet.

Qian Yu entered the Virtual Universe and accessed the Secret Art Trading Platform.

Since beginning his cultivation, he had never specialized in any particular set of secret arts.

Although he had gained deep insights into the Law of Space and the Law of Fire, he had basically remained at the level of superficial application.

He had lacked the means before, but now that he had money, he naturally needed to make up for that.

After searching the platform for a while, he quickly settled on a blade technique secret art.

Blazing Heaven Seven Kills.

This was a fire-and-space blade technique secret art with seven moves. Every move required an extremely profound understanding of fire and space to execute.

When the seven moves were layered together, their power rose step by step. It was said that, once mastered to the extreme, a single slash could burn the starry sky to ashes.

Price: 360,000 Hunyuan Units.

Qian Yu bought it outright.

Next came space-type secret arts.

He searched the platform for "Ten Thousand Threads Flow" and quickly found it.

Ten Thousand Threads Flow was a foundational movement technique secret art of the Law of Space. Once cultivated to the limit, it could split into countless phantom bodies, making it impossible for enemies to catch the true body.

Rumor had it that, at its highest level, it could even achieve Teleportation.

It was very cheap.

Qian Yu bought it casually, then continued searching.

So long as it was a foundational secret art related to the Law of Space, he bought a copy.

In one go, he bought more than eighty sets.

These commonplace goods were not expensive. Together, they cost less than 5 million Hunyuan Units.

Yet they were tremendously valuable as references.

Qian Yu looked at the long string of purchase records in his account and nodded in satisfaction.

With that, the major shopping spree was over.

Spaceship, battle armor, battle blades, cultivation resources, detectors, secret arts—he had bought everything he should buy, and even things he should not have bought.

Next, he needed to find a place and slowly digest all of it.

Qian Yu rose to his feet, preparing to leave.

The person in charge respectfully escorted him to the door, his face covered in smiles. "Honored customer, we welcome your next visit. The items you purchased will be delivered to your designated location within the stipulated time."

Qian Yu nodded and walked out of the bank.

He was not worried that the Cosmic Star River Bank would leak any of his information. After all, as one of the Human Race's five top powers, every transaction conducted by the Cosmic Star River Bank was monitored by robots. Should any subsequent issues arise, the Cosmic Star River Bank would hold those responsible accountable.

Even he knew that much, so the staff naturally understood it even better.

Unless someone no longer wanted to live, they would never dare leak even the slightest bit of information about Qian Yu.

Because that meant certain death.

After finishing all this, Qian Yu left the planet.

He did not specify where the items should be delivered, because he had another matter to handle next.

Using his current authority as a Six-Star Customer of the Cosmic Star River Bank,

he commissioned the Cosmic Star River Bank to purchase every life-bearing planet within the Silver Blue Empire, which belonged to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

His reason for buying all the life-bearing planets of the Silver Blue Empire was very simple.

It was so that when Lord Luo emerged in the future, he could conveniently make contact with him.

After buying all the life-bearing planets, Earth would nominally fall under his ownership as well.

Then Lord Luo would inevitably come looking for him one day.

Although he now had the Primordial Dao Tree avatar as his greatest trump card, it would still be a good thing if he could befriend Lord Luo.

There was no need to curry favor with him, but Lord Luo was, after all, one of Qian Yu's childhood idols.

One year later.

Ganwu Universe Country, Black Dragon Mountain Star Field, Silver Blue Star.

This planet had once been the capital of the Silver Blue Empire. It had flourished for a time and served as the political and economic center of the entire star field.

But as the Silver Blue Empire declined, the planet gradually lost its former glory.

However, it now had a new owner.

Qian Yu.

A year ago, he had used his authority as a Six-Star Customer of the Cosmic Star River Bank to commission the bank to purchase all life-bearing planets belonging to the Silver Blue Empire.

Though the Silver Blue Empire was small, it still possessed hundreds of thousands of life-bearing planets.

For Qian Yu, who held more than 5 billion Hunyuan Units, this expenditure was merely a drop in the bucket.

But to the Silver Blue Empire's original rulers, it was a windfall from heaven. Someone was willing to pay a high price for the entire empire; they could not have asked for more.

Thus, the transaction was completed smoothly.

Qian Yu became the lord of every life-bearing planet in the Silver Blue Empire.

By buying all the life-bearing planets of the Silver Blue Empire, Earth nominally became part of his territory. That was enough.

At this moment, in the most central square of Silver Blue Star,

Qian Yu stood before the grand hall and looked up at the sky.

A gigantic dark-blue spacecraft was slowly descending.

The spacecraft hatch opened.

Two figures stepped out.

They were two powerful men who appeared middle-aged, one tall and one short, both radiating the aura of Peak Ninth-Order Realm Lord Level.

They wore the standard uniforms of the Cosmic Star River Bank. Their expressions were solemn, and their bearing respectful.

Yet the instant they stepped out of the hatch, both of them paused slightly.

They saw Qian Yu.

He was a young Black-Clad Youth, standing quietly in the center of the square. No energy fluctuations emanated from him, as though he were merely an ordinary person.

But in their perception, he exuded an indescribable pressure.

Clearly, he was only a Realm Lord, and the intelligent optical brain indicated that he was a First-Order Realm Lord.

Yet for some reason, they felt a tremor rising from the depths of their souls, as though what stood before them was not a person, but a humanoid Star Beast.

What kind of feeling was this?

The two exchanged glances and saw shock in each other's eyes.

They were Peak Ninth-Order Realm Lords. Even throughout a small place like the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, they could be considered powerful figures.

Yet they actually felt an inexplicable pressure when facing a young First-Order Realm Lord?

Just who was this young man?

But soon, the two remembered the rumors surrounding Qian Yu: born a slave, he had cultivated to the Domain Lord level in just over a hundred years, single-handedly wiped out the entire Fire Phoenix Organization, and killed the Realm Lord Pan Xi.

Now he had broken through to the Realm Lord level, and the strength of his aura had actually made even these two veteran Realm Lords feel oppressed.
