Qiongyu Planet

Qiongyu Planet, one of the nine primary administrative planets of the Ganwu Universe Country, is also the closest primary administrative planet to Earth.

Even so, it took Tang Ping several months to arrive on that peak E-grade Automaton Race Spaceship. Once he sold the ship, he would have no funds to purchase another decent vessel, making the return journey even more time-consuming.

However, Tang Ping had already planned for this. The version of him currently out in the world was merely one of his nine clones (the nine slots for Universe Level clones remained unused). He had no intention of letting this clone return anytime soon. Regardless of whether it was his original body or a clone, both could utilize the system's functions, so he might as well bind a few more high-level "tools" while he was here.

It wasn't just this clone; Tang Ping had dispatched six others as well. His goal was to seek out Domain Lord level powerhouses who were preparing to break through to the World Lord level and bind them as his tools, thereby accelerating his own breakthrough to the World Lord level.

Universe Galaxy Bank.

After careful consideration, this was the place Tang Ping decided to sell the Automaton Race Spaceship.

As a mere Domain Lord level 1 Martial Artist, it would clearly be unsafe to rashly approach minor factions or brokerage firms to sell a treasure like an Automaton Race Spaceship.

While he might take a slight loss on the price at the Universe Galaxy Bank, it was worth it for the safety. The price disadvantage was primarily because he was in a rush to sell directly to the bank; otherwise, the Universe Galaxy Bank offered a consignment service that could fetch a much higher price.

Soon, after some bargaining, Tang Ping successfully sold the Automaton Race Spaceship.

"Blood-sucking vampires. Tsk tsk, no matter where you go, banks are always the most profitable places. Such a massive, high-quality Automaton Race Spaceship, and I only got 1,200 Hunyuan for it. If I weren't in such a hurry, I wouldn't have agreed to this for anything." Tang Ping muttered to himself as he walked out of the bank's entrance.

After leaving the Universe Galaxy Bank, Tang Ping didn't rush to do anything else. He immediately went to the Rare Treasure Shop to purchase the nutrient solution required for Domain Lord level cultivation, handed it to the Domain Lord level slave he had brought along, rented a cultivation room for him, and left him to it.

Come to think of it, it was fortunate that his system could trigger critical hits even when using treasures for enhancement; otherwise, the nutrient solution for Domain Lords was truly not cheap.

The system's maximum reward multiplier for the Domain Lord level was one million times. While it didn't hit the maximum every time, the cumulative average was likely in the hundreds of thousands. Although his high genetic level meant he required at least a thousand times more resources than a normal person, calculating it out, he only needed to buy a fraction of the standard amount, which significantly eased the burden on his wallet.

With the most important task completed, Tang Ping was no longer in a hurry. He found a crowded restaurant to eat and took the opportunity to inquire about which Domain Lord level powerhouses on this planet had the potential to break through to the World Lord level.

"Hey... have you guys heard? That Highness from the Virtual Universe Company who has been living on our Qiongyu Planet is about to break through to the World Lord level. I heard he's already handed over his work and is preparing to go into seclusion to focus entirely on the breakthrough."

Sure enough, no matter where you go, crowded restaurants are never short of gossips. Tang Ping hadn't been sitting for long before he heard a sharp-featured, blue-haired youth at a nearby table boasting about his inside information to his companions.

"Oh... are you talking about Highness Frodo?" Since they were dining at the same table, their status was clearly similar, and someone quickly picked up the conversation.

"Exactly. My grandfather has a very close relationship with one of Highness Frodo's guards, and I happened to be nearby when he told my grandfather about it." The blue-haired youth was clearly showing off his grandfather's wide social circle.

On the other side, Tang Ping felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this news. Look at my brain, I almost forgot about this. Although I remember that when Luo Feng was at the Domain Lord level, he was sent to this Ganwu Universe Country to serve as a Supervisor for a time, I thought the number of Domain Lords in the Primal Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company was so small—only ten, if I recall correctly—that the probability of one being sent to the Ganwu Universe Country was too low, so I didn't think much of it. Now that I think about it, I overlooked a very important point: while the Primal Secret Realm has few people, the other three secret realms have many more. Their members are also sent out when they reach the Domain Lord level, though their status upon arrival isn't as high as the geniuses from the Primal Secret Realm.

However, even a genius from the End-of-the-World Secret Realm is still a core genius of the Virtual Universe Company. Their talent is definitely not something that external geniuses can compare to. In fact, one could say that most external World Lord geniuses can't even keep up with the Domain Lord level geniuses of the End-of-the-World Secret Realm. Even if their speed of comprehending laws increases more than a hundredfold after breaking through to the World Lord level, most still can't compare.

And it's not just the Virtual Universe Company; the Giant Axe Dojo, Universe First Bank, Universe Galaxy Bank, and the Universe Mercenary Alliance should all have similar training programs for their core geniuses.

Therefore, the most correct course of action for me now is to bind all these core geniuses from the five major factions who have been sent out as my tools. Even after they break through to the World Lord level, the benefits they bring me will far exceed those of ordinary World Lord level geniuses.

Although, theoretically, the optimal targets for tools at the World Lord level should be the core World Lord geniuses of the five major factions, unfortunately, most geniuses at the World Lord level go to the Outer Battlefield for training.

The Outer Battlefield is not like the interior of the Human Race; no genius would be foolish enough to directly expose their true identity.

Thus, theory is just theory. It would be very difficult for Tang Ping to find such opportunities to bind a large number of core World Lord geniuses from the five major factions.

However, at the Domain Lord level, because they are within the Human Race, their identities are generally semi-public, giving Tang Ping a chance to find them.

In any case, after several upgrades, Tang Ping's system no longer required physical contact to bind targets, and the range had increased to within 100,000 meters. It could be said that as long as he could find their general location, Tang Ping could easily bind them as his tools.

Once he had the thought, he acted. With his goal clear, Tang Ping's next steps were simple: find a way to inquire about which Domain Lord level geniuses from the five major factions were stationed on Qiongyu Planet, figure out where they lived, pass by them from a distance, and complete the binding.

If he were looking for geniuses from the Primal Secret Realm, he might not be able to find them because their status was too high for most people to reach; even geniuses from the Primordial Secret Realm would be difficult to track down.

But for geniuses from the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and the End-of-the-World Secret Realm, their status wasn't quite that elevated. Tang Ping was a Domain Lord himself, and he possessed vast wealth; if he put his mind to it, gathering this information wouldn't be a problem.

After a busy day, the results were impressive. It was truly worthy of being one of the nine primary administrative planets of the Ganwu Universe Country; the number of geniuses stationed on Qiongyu Planet was certainly not small.
