The Black-Armored Man was the one with the most complex and excited feelings at this moment. He had immediately asked for help after encountering the Demon Race team and realizing that he was no match for them.

However, most of the people fighting in this star field were Ordinary Immortal and those at the Early Marquis. He originally thought that if he could draw a few Marquis-level, he could ensure his safety. Unexpectedly, he actually drew two Marquis-level Immortal this time, who not only saved him but also annihilated the Demon Race that attacked him!

The Xuanjia Hou, looking slightly uneasy, said to Gulanxiu and the Silver-Armored King, "Thank you both for saving our team! I am deeply grateful!"

The King in silver armor spoke in a cool voice, "Xuanjia Hou, you are too kind. As Human Race, helping each other is only right! A great battle has just taken place here, and I don't know if these Demon Race have sought help from other powerful Beast God Race. To be on the safe side, it's not advisable to stay any longer! Everyone, please board my spaceship and let's leave this place first!"

As he said this, he took the lead and entered the spaceship. Upon hearing the invitation, Xuanjia Hou and the other four Immortal also flew into the spaceship. Gulanxiu had originally wanted to talk to this King Illusionist to see if he could buy some corpses from her, so he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and he also flashed into the spaceship.

After everyone had entered, the spaceship rapidly accelerated and quickly entered the Dark Universe.

At this moment, everyone inside the spaceship breathed a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, entering the Dark Universe means safety.

After bowing to Gulanxiu and Silver-Armored King, Xuanjia Hou said again, "We owe our lives to you two! Otherwise, our team would have been in grave danger today! May I ask your honorable names? So that I may remember who our benefactors are!"

"My name is Green Lotus!" Gulanxiu replied softly.

"My name is Dream Butterfly! Now that the enemy has been eliminated, what are your plans, Xuanjia Hou?" asked Dream Butterfly, the Silver-Armored King.

Xuanjia Hou smiled bitterly, "I lost ten percent of my Divine Body Divine Body in this battle, and my two brothers also suffered significant losses. We can't do anything else now; we can only return to the Human Territory to recuperate. I estimate it will take several epochs just to recover our divine power!"

Gulanxiu nodded after listening, then asked, "Speaking of which, I find it strange! Divine power is very precious to Immortal Expert, and they generally don't burn it easily. But those two Demon Race Marquis-level were willing to burn their divine power like crazy in order to kill you. Is there some grudge between you?"

After listening to Gulanxiu's words, Xuanjia Hou hesitated for a moment and said, "It might be related to the mysterious star map I obtained! Just now, when we were fighting a Demon Race Immortal squad, we destroyed a nearby planet, but we unexpectedly found that a star map carved on a blue stone slab was not damaged."

A star map that can remain undamaged in an Immortal battle must be extraordinary. At that time, we had the advantage, so we seized the star map and killed an Immortal.

Then those two Marquis-level suddenly appeared! Without a word, they unleashed their divine power to attack me. While I was being held back, my two brothers and I were also in grave danger facing the siege of four Immortal Army Lord. If it weren't for the two lords, we would probably be in serious trouble this time! Now that I think about it, those two Demon Race Marquis-level who fought so desperately from the start were either close to the Immortal Army Lord I killed, or they knew the secrets contained within the star map!

My brothers and I are now greatly depleted of our divine power, and it will be impossible for us to explore and study this star map any longer in the short term! Therefore, we present this star map to you two gentlemen to express our gratitude for saving our lives!

As he spoke, Xuanjia Hou took out a star map carved on a light blue stone slab. The star map was densely covered with stars, and in the very center of these stars, there was a planet with a wormhole drawn on it and marked.

Apart from that, there's nothing else on this star chart.

Gulanxiu took the blue stone slab and applied slight force, but only left a shallow mark on it. Moreover, as Gulanxiu let go, the mark slowly faded and disappeared!

"That's truly amazing!" Gulanxiu sighed softly.

"This is Cyan Silica Stone! It's one of the auxiliary materials for refining Heavy Treasure. Because of its resistance to damage and its self-repairing properties, some powerful individuals also use it as a medium for recording information." At this moment King Dream Butterfly explained, "This Cyan Silica Stone is extremely precious. Just one piece is probably worth tens of millions of Hunyuan. A star map drawn with this material must contain great secrets and opportunities. Xuanjia Hou really willing to give it to us?"

Xuanjia Hou felt a pang of regret upon hearing King Dream Butterfly's words, but the words had already been spoken, and he was facing two King-level Expert. He couldn't possibly go back on his word, so he nodded and said, "No matter how valuable this star map is, it's not as important as my own life! Since I said I would give it to you two, I won't go back on my word. However, I only have this one star map, so I can't give one to each of you!"

After thinking for a moment, King Dream Butterfly said to Xuanjia Hou, "Xuanjia Hou, please wait a moment! I need to discuss with King Green Lotus how to resolve this matter!"

Xuanjia Hou nodded and said, "Please, my lords, make yourselves at home!"

At this moment, King Dream Butterfly transmitted his voice to Gulanxiu: "King Green Lotus! This Cyan Silica Star Map is far too valuable. The material alone is worth tens of millions of Hunyuan, not to mention the secrets recorded in the star chart. If I just take it away like this, although Xuanjia Hou won't say anything, it's not in line with my true intentions. So I want to discuss it with you, King Green Lotus!"

After hearing this, Gulanxiu transmitted his voice, "What does the King Dream Butterfly plan to do?"

After thinking for a moment, King Dream Butterfly transmitted his voice, saying, "According to my style, I will buy this Cyan Silica Stone Cyan Silica Star Map at the market price, and then explore its secrets. If I find anything, I will reward the informant with five percent of the value, as per Human Race custom! However, this matter concerns both of us, so I cannot make a decision for you rashly. If King Green Lotus is unwilling to concede, then so be it! I will find another opportunity to make amends to Xuanjia Hou later!"

Gulanxiu nodded inwardly after hearing this. This King Dream Butterfly was truly meticulous in his actions; he first expressed his own viewpoint, then sought his opinion, without directly stating his own views to Xuanjia Hou, which showed respect for his opinion. Of course, Gulanxiu wasn't petty, so he said, "Let's proceed according to your plan, King Dream Butterfly! If it really yields results, we'll give Xuanjia Hou half a share!"

King Dream Butterfly nodded and then said, "Then, King Green Lotus, would you be willing to explore the area where this mysterious star map is located?"

This was a gift from Xuanjia Hou to both of us, so naturally I can't keep it all to myself. If King Green Lotus is willing, then we can explore together! Whatever we find, we'll split it fifty-fifty. If not, then I assure you, whatever I gain in this mysterious star field, I'll give you twenty percent, King Green Lotus!

Hearing what the King Dream Butterfly said, Gulanxiu nodded inwardly. From King Dream Butterfly words Gulanxiu knew that she was a person of principle. Relatively speaking, it was more reassuring to team up with a person of principle. Gulanxiu had originally intended to cooperate with the King Dream Butterfly, and now that there was an opportunity in this mysterious star field, he naturally could not let it go!

So Gulanxiu nodded and transmitted his voice, "Then let's go together. I hope King Dream Butterfly will take good care of me in the future!"

After the two reached an agreement, King Dream Butterfly said to Xuanjia Hou, "Xuanjia Hou, King Green Lotus and I have just discussed this and decided to purchase your Cyan Silica Star Map for ten million Hunyuan. Of course, this is only the cost of the Cyan Silica Stone material! If we can gain something from this star chart, we will give you another half. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Xuanjia Hou was overjoyed upon hearing this. Putting aside the uncertain half-portion he might receive, the ten million Hunyuan alone was equivalent to his entire fortune.

This time he encountered great danger and almost lost his life, but unexpectedly he made money in the end!

After all, the divine power he and his brothers consumed could be quickly replenished with just one or two million Hunyuan, or they could even recover slowly without spending the money! In any case, time is meaningless to Immortal God.

Thinking of this, Xuanjia Hou quickly replied, "Thank you both for your generosity. Well then! I'll keep the ten million Hunyuan! As for the half-harvest, I'll take it! The origin of this star map is unknown, and it's hard to say whether it contains opportunity or danger! Let's leave it at that for now!"

King Dream Butterfly nodded and said, "We'll talk about that later! If we can gain something, we'll definitely repay you."

After saying this, he transferred ten million Hunyuan to Xuanjia Hou, and then said, "It's safe here now! Xuanjia Hou, let's take our leave!" With that, he controlled the spaceship to stop and opened the hatch.

Xuanjia Hou nodded, beckoned his three team members to fly out of the spaceship, and quickly retrieved another spaceship to continue their flight.

At this moment, only Gulanxiu and King Dream Butterfly remained inside King Dream Butterfly's spaceship.

Then, the King Dream Butterfly took out the Cyan Silica Stone map again and channeled a wisp of divine power into it.

The star map carved on the surface of the Cyan Silica Stone instantly projected a three-dimensional image inside the spaceship, and the two of them were in the Starry Sky.

The King Dream Butterfly chuckled and said, "King Green Lotus! We're in luck! Although countless Shift Stars have passed and this star map isn't entirely accurate anymore, my Intelligent Life has still managed to confirm its approximate location through comparison! It's actually within the Star Domain Battlefield, albeit in the relatively core area where the King are clashing. Is there anything else you need to prepare? If not, let's go now!"

At this moment, Gulanxiu sighed inwardly that the King Dream Butterfly's background was not simple! She could see the extraordinary nature of the star map at a glance, which showed that she had extensive knowledge. Even Gulanxiu only found the information about the Cyan Silica Stone in the Virtual Universe after hearing what she said. You should know that after passing through the Heavenly Mountain, Gulanxiu's authority in the Virtual Universe was upgraded to the level of King.

Even though Xuanjia Hou had heard of the name "Cyan Silica Stone," he had no authority to check its value, and the price depended entirely on King Dream Butterfly's conscience.

Moreover, it is quite remarkable that the Intelligent Life of King Dream Butterfly could so quickly compare the specific location of this star map. The universe is so vast, and there are many star fields with similar distributions. In addition, the area near the Star Domain Battlefield has changed drastically due to the continuous battles. Some planets have been blown into Cosmic Dust by the battles, while some Cosmic Dust continues to gather and form new planets, which makes the calculation required for star map comparison constantly increase.

At least Deep Blue, the Intelligent Life of Gulanxiu, is still calculating and comparing after being reminded by King Dream Butterfly! Everyone else has already told him the answer, but he still can't figure it out. Gulanxiu is ashamed for him.

Furthermore, the methods displayed by the King Dream Butterfly were also extraordinary. Leaving aside her illusions, the winged armor she wore was definitely not ordinary. Among the standard Human Race armor, Gulanxiu had never seen armor that could be used as Psychic Force weapon. This armor was either custom-made for her by a master craftsman, or it might be Heavy Treasure! Either way, it indicates that her identity is not simple!

Teaming up with someone with such a background and status will definitely increase the success rate.

Thinking this, Gulanxiu said, "I'm fine on my end! Let's set off now!" Now fully armed, Gulanxiu was brimming with confidence! So what if it's the King Battlefield!

Even Peak King could fight him with the various Heavy Treasure Supreme Treasure he possessed. If you also consider the Green Lotus, even an ordinary Venerable would have a hard time stopping him. So what is there to prepare for?

King Dream Butterfly nodded and said, "In that case, let's set off! It will take about a month to reach the King Battlefield from here! Find a room for yourself to cultivate!"

Gulanxiu nodded and said, "King Dream Butterfly! As King-level Illusionist, you must have acquired quite a few Immortal Corpse as spoils of war over the years! I wonder if you have any use for these Immortal Corpse? If you don't need them, you can sell them to me! I'll buy them at a high price!"

"You want Immortal Corpse?" King Dream Butterfly asked in surprise, then said, "I haven't been in the Star Domain Battlefield for very long!"

There are only thirty-two corpses of the Immortal Level Beast God Race. Depending on the size and level of the corpses, I'll sell them to you for one million Hunyuan if you need them!

As he spoke, he tossed a World Ring to Gulanxiu.

Gulanxiu took the ring and examined it briefly. He found that there were thirty-two corpses of the Beast God Race neatly arranged inside. These corpses had all been Soul Annihilation, so their divine power was intact.

Judging from the energy fluctuations of the corpses, they were all Marquis-level Expert possessed Undying Body and were granted the rank of Marquis.

The corpses varied in size, some only a few meters long, others exceeding a hundred meters. Gulanxiu quickly calculated that these corpses would likely cost between 1.5 million and 2 million Hunyuan in the Virtual Universe, so King Dream Butterfly was giving him a discount.

Thinking of this, Gulanxiu quickly said, "Thank you! I'm going back to my room to cultivate now! Call me when you get there!"

As he spoke, he walked towards a room that was right next to the hall!

Just then, Deep Blue, the Intelligent Life of Gulanxiu, spoke in Gulanxiu's mind, "Master! After my calculations and comparisons, that star field is indeed in the King War Zone of the Star Domain Battlefield! King Dream Butterfly did not lie to us!"

Hearing Deep Blue's words, Gulanxiu was speechless! How much difference was there in performance?! Shen Lan had calculated it instantly and told him the answer, while he was only calculating it now.
