"The inner city is nice, but it's full of Universe Venerable and Invincible King, all high and mighty. How can it compare to the freedom of the outer city?"
"Besides," he gestured with his chin.
"All my old buddies are here. If they move away, who will drink with me?"
King Tong Nan chuckled from the side, "He just can't bear to part with us drinking buddies."
Black Mist King and Long Jue King also laughed.
Qin Ming suddenly realized.
I see.
For a powerhouse of True Yan King's caliber, where he lives doesn't really make much difference.
On the contrary, the atmosphere of the outer city suits him better.
"What is your name, young man?" True Yan King asked.
" Heye," Qin Ming announced the name he used on the Outer Battlefield.
" Heye?" True Yan King's eyes flickered slightly.
"Great name! This little brother will surely be famous throughout the Primal Universe in the future."
"Then let's take advantage of True Yan King words." Qin Ming raised his cup.
True Yan King raised his wine cup.
"Come on, let's drink."
Under the starlight, a few people sat around drinking, enjoying themselves in a relaxed atmosphere.
Qin Ming originally planned to go to the Hong Alliance City shop to deal with those treasures first, but since he encountered True Yan King and the others, he wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, he had plenty of time, and a day or two wouldn't make a difference.
This drinking session lasted for half a day.
After a few rounds of drinks, Qin Ming brought up the matter of disposing of a batch of spoils of war.
Upon hearing this, True Yan King immediately introduced him to the Undying King Rank he knew.
Final offer: 9.8 billion Hunyuan Unit.
"It's a normal price, but a bit higher than selling directly to Virtual Universe Company and shops within the Hong Alliance," True Yan King gave a fair assessment.
Qin Ming nodded, his emotions remaining completely unchanged.
Ninety-eight billion is an astronomical figure for an ordinary person who is granted King Rank.
But for him, it wasn't really that much; the failure of the Demonic Cloud Vine alone had burned through 10 billion.
The True Yan King and the others were somewhat surprised by Qin Ming's composure. Ninety-eight billion was not a lot for them, but it was a huge sum for someone who had just been " King Rank ".
Moreover, although their assets exceed 10 billion, the vast majority of them are converted into power; they don't even have 10 billion in cash on them.
The group chatted casually when they heard that Qin Ming was preparing to head to the Myriad Wood Continent from the Fourth Outer Battlefield.
King Tong Nan chimed in from the side, " Heye, are you going to the Myriad Wood Continent to wait for Myriad Woods Core?"
"I have this idea." Qin Ming didn't hide it.
"Since we're already here, we might as well give it a try."
"That Myriad Woods Core isn't easy to steal," the Black Mist King shook his head.
"Each time it appears, it's a massive battle. More than one person has fallen from the King Rank Limit."
"Just giving it a try." Qin Ming picked up his wine glass.
"If you can't get it, consider it a learning experience."
"That's impressive." Long Jue King gave a thumbs up.
The group chatted for a while longer until they had drunk quite a bit before parting ways.
Before leaving, True Yan King patted Qin Ming on the shoulder. "If you need anything in the Hong Alliance, feel free to come find me. We live in the same neighborhood, so don't be shy."
Qin Ming nodded his thanks.
The Myriad Wood Continent has a diameter of over ten light-years.
Normally, there are hundreds of thousands of powerful King Rank residing here.
Now, with the birth of the Myriad Woods Core imminent, the entire continent is in turmoil.
Not only that.
According to True Yan King and others, many powerful clans, including weak, ordinary, and even strong ones, are continuously pouring into the Fourth Battlefield in the name of the four major factions, having been granted the title of Undying King Rank.
"Master, there is an Alien Race force 990 million kilometers away, consisting of fifteen Immortal God. The leader, a Peak King, is monitoring the conversation within the force. They have just finished a battle."
A little while later!
"Master, there is a squad of ten high-level King Rank- ranked Immortal God gods 910 million kilometers away. According to the detection, they should have just fought with the squad led by the Peak King being ahead, and they obviously suffered heavy losses."
Throughout the journey, Xiaoye kept reporting information to Qin Ming.
"----The leader of the team is a high- King Rank, Immortal God."
"----The team leader is a peak- King Rank, Undying Immortal God."
"Wow!" Qin Ming exclaimed.
Now that these Undying King Rank have started forming teams, Qin Ming doesn't know how they will distribute the Myriad Woods Core.
But along the way, none of those teams that King Rank had fewer than ten members.
Fortunately, Qin Ming's detector was advanced enough, and the strongest of those who King Rank was only at the peak of the King Rank.
Even if a small detector is advanced enough to detect his large detector.
However, it can only shield itself from the surrounding area for a few dozen kilometers at most, making it impossible to locate Qin Ming.
At this moment, Qin Ming on the spaceship, gazing at the vast and boundless supercontinent, a surge of heroic spirit rising in his heart.
The scene before him reminded him of a poem he had read in his previous life.
At this moment, it is so fitting.
He softly recited. "Heroes rise and fall with the times, once you enter the world of martial arts, years fly by."
"Imperial ambitions and conquests are discussed in jest; nothing beats a life of carefree indulgence."
"Sword in hand, mounted on horseback, unleashing a rain of ghosts; white bones piled high, birds startled into flight."
"Worldly affairs are like a tide, and people are like water—"
He paused, his gaze fixed on the Myriad Wood Continent, which was about to become a bloody battlefield, and slowly uttered his last sentence.
"It's a pity how few heroes return from the martial world."
Hong Alliance City, the residential area where Qin Ming lives.
When True Yan King and the others saw him appear, they waved to him.
"What, are you getting ready to set off?" King Tong Nan asked.
"We're already on the outskirts of the Myriad Wood Continent." Qin Ming sat down.
"I'd like to hear your latest intelligence."
"You have quite a bit of intelligence." True Yan King put down his wine cup.
"Here's the bad news: the number of people coming to be King Rank this time is more than expected."
According to internal statistics from the Hong Alliance, the number of confirmed King Rank has exceeded 1.2 million, and it is still increasing.
Qin Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.
One million two hundred thousand King Rank.
Even if you just stand still and let him kill you, he'll kill you until his hands are sore.
"And the good news?" he asked.
"The good news is that the top experts of the four major factions are keeping each other in check, which has actually given opportunities to those below them," the Black Mist King continued.
"Every time Myriad Woods Core appears, the ones who die the most are actually those at the Peak King. They are too big and too numerous, and their strength is not weak but not outstanding, so they are targeted as soon as they show their faces."
On the contrary, those inconspicuous High King and Initial King kings, if they're lucky, can take advantage of the chaos.
"Fishing in troubled waters—" Qin Ming mused.
True Yan King looked at him. Although he didn't know Qin Ming's exact strength, he was able to sell nearly 10 billion assets last time, so he was obviously not weak.
"Your current lack of fame is actually a good thing. Those veteran King Rank don't know you and won't target you from the start. By the time they realize what's happening, Myriad Woods Core might already be in their hands."
"That makes sense." Qin Ming nodded.
"But don't be careless," Long Jue King cautioned.
"The location where the Myriad Woods Core is born varies each time, but there's a pattern: the closer to the continent's core, the higher the probability of its appearance."
Since you're on the outskirts, you need to move in ahead of time. Otherwise, by the time the treasure is revealed and you start your journey, it will be too late.
