I'll Offer Three Supreme Treasures

"Your cultivation has reached High-level Marquis, with roughly five thousand times the World Lord Power." Yang Hao looked Huiyun over.

"Of course, in terms of actual combat strength, you should have no trouble matching an ordinary low-level King Rank Immortal."

Over the years, Yang Hao had devoted most of his energy to creating his own secret techniques, but he had not neglected Huiyun's instruction.

Not only were Huiyun's self-created secret techniques astonishingly powerful, she also possessed a set of custom weapons comparable to a valuable treasure, along with a soul-type valuable treasure to protect her soul.

Even so, for his disciple's safety, Yang Hao had cultivated an Immortal Level auxiliary plant life-form for Huiyun.

All things considered, Huiyun's actual combat strength was quite impressive.

"Do you want to venture into the Outer Domain Battlefield or a Cosmic Secret Realm?" With his three-hundred-meter divine body seated on a custom throne, Yang Hao looked like a mighty god.

"Teacher, I wish to explore a Cosmic Secret Realm," Huiyun answered at once.

"I wish to explore the Thousand Condensation Illusion Cosmic Secret Realm."

"The Thousand Condensation Illusion Cosmic Secret Realm?" Yang Hao sent a sliver of his consciousness into the Virtual Universe to look it up.

The Thousand Condensation Illusion Cosmic Secret Realm lay in the depths of the universe and was controlled by the Hongmeng Alliance. Since it was not a particularly high-tier secret realm, it was mainly used as a training ground for the descendants and disciples of the alliance's powerhouses.

The secret realm spanned five hundred thousand light-years, making it slightly larger than an ordinary galaxy. Anyone entering it had to be at least an Immortal God. For ordinary World Lords, the natural environment alone could kill them.

Illusions were everywhere within the secret realm, compounded by its dangerous natural environment. Anyone who fell into an illusion and unwittingly wandered into a dangerous area could die without even knowing how.

"The Thousand Condensation Illusion Cosmic Secret Realm is fraught with danger. Ordinary Immortal Gods have an extremely low survival rate there. In its most dangerous areas, even weaker Universe Venerables might perish," Yang Hao said.

"Still, as long as you avoid the most dangerous places, it's a good choice. You can temper your will there."

Yang Hao nodded in satisfaction. Willpower was crucial on the path to becoming a powerhouse. Huiyun's recognition of that key point showed that she had gained some insight.

"With a soul-type valuable treasure protecting you, ordinary illusions won't affect you much. As long as you take care and don't wander recklessly, you should be fine." Yang Hao then took out a token.

"If you encounter a danger you can't handle, crush this token, and I will appear."

"But I hope you never have to crush it..."

"I understand. I won't disappoint you, Teacher." Huiyun accepted the token, her gaze resolute.

"I'll demonstrate one more move for you. How much you learn will depend on your comprehension," Yang Hao said.

Then he rose from his throne and abruptly grasped at space with his large hand.

A radiant flower appeared out of thin air. On closer inspection, it could be seen that the flower was formed from countless condensed Space Laws.

The flower had ninety-nine petals. Yang Hao released his grip, and it flew through the void.

As it flew, its petals fell away one after another. It seemed to cross an immense expanse of space, yet also seemed no farther away than a glance over the shoulder. Finally, all ninety-nine petals fell, and the remaining flower vanished into the air.

Huiyun fixed her gaze on the flower, immersing her entire consciousness in it.

As a Universe Venerable who had broken through by mastering space, Yang Hao had fully comprehended the Space Laws. His understanding of them was profound.

Even a casually unleashed move could greatly benefit Immortal Gods. Moreover, that last move had been anything but casual. He had put considerable thought into breaking down the Space Laws so Huiyun could observe them closely.

He left Huiyun to continue her contemplation in the great hall.

"My inherited son, Qian Ming, has also entered the fast lane in his cultivation these past few years. He's almost reached the goal I set for him." Yang Hao's gaze grew deep as he thought of the son he had inherited.

He had instructed Qian Ming to reach the peak of Marquis Level before returning to the Qian Wu Universe Country. With Yang Hao's help, his strength had improved considerably.

Although he was merely a son Yang Hao had inherited, there was still a connection between them. He could hardly ignore him completely.

For Yang Hao as he was now, even a little slipping through his fingers could drive Universe Venerables mad with desire, let alone a son who was a Marquis Immortal.

He had bought Qian Ming some treasures to improve his strength, which he could slowly refine while venturing through the Outer Domain Battlefield. Combined with cultivation guidance, they had brought Qian Ming a marked increase in strength.

"Unfortunately, Qian Ming's talent really isn't very high. Raising him to King Rank is the most I can manage." Yang Hao shook his head. This was already the limit of what he could do.

He could hardly pile on treasures until Qian Ming became a Universe Venerable. The present Primal Universe probably had no such heaven-defying treasure capable of forcibly elevating an Immortal to a Universe Venerable.

Once Qian Ming's strength reached its limit, Yang Hao would have him take part in his future plans and become his right-hand man.

"With the minor matters settled, it's time to put out a bounty on Venerable Hanjing!" Flames danced in Yang Hao's eyes.

The Primal Star had not yet closed, and countless powerhouses were still exploring it and competing for Supreme Treasures. This was the perfect time for revenge. Once the Primal Star closed, those powerhouses would go into seclusion to cultivate.

It was normal for a single period of seclusion to last hundreds of millions of years. By then, who knew how long he would have to wait for revenge?

Within Hongmeng City in the Virtual Universe.

This was the highest-tier dimensional space in the Virtual Universe, and the one with the greatest concentration of powerhouses.

An ancient, majestic city floated amid the stars in a boundless expanse of space.

Only those whose strength reached King Rank would be recruited into the Hongmeng Alliance. Its members were divided into seven star ratings. One-star through three-star members were King Rank Immortal Gods and lived in the outer city, while four-star through six-star members were Universe Venerables and lived in the inner city.

The former Qian Wu, for instance, had been a six-star powerhouse with the strength of a High Venerable.

Now, however, Yang Hao was already a seven-star powerhouse and possessed his own exclusive palace. Unlike him, one-star through six-star members of the Hongmeng Alliance could only live within Hongmeng City.

Of course, Hongmeng City was primarily a dedicated space for powerhouses to socialize and trade. Yang Hao rarely appeared here.

Looking at the seven-star emblem on his cuff, Yang Hao smiled faintly.

"Seven stars is good, but there are existences beyond seven stars. The hall masters of Hongmeng Hall are the true highest echelon of the Hongmeng Alliance."

The Hongmeng Alliance was also known as the Human Alliance. It consisted of humanity and its staunch allied races, with all its member races firmly bound to the Human Race's war chariot. Naturally, anyone who became a seven-star powerhouse within it possessed formidable strength.

After entering Hongmeng City, Yang Hao spotted a small shop.

"Silk Entwining Palace. This is the place." Yang Hao walked inside.

Silk Entwining Palace was an intelligence trading center established by a hall master of another race. With the Virtual Universe System and a specialized intelligence network, it could provide almost any information one wanted.

"Qian Wu Country Lord, what can we do for you?" Upon seeing a seven-star member enter, the attendant responsible for greeting customers hurriedly summoned the manager to receive him.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Yang Hao glanced around casually and said, "I want information. Information on Venerable Hanjing."

"Venerable Hanjing? I believe he's a newly advanced Universe Overlord of the Machine Race Alliance," the manager replied immediately.

"Yes. Put out a bounty for me. Anyone who knows Venerable Hanjing's exact location can come to me for a reward of two Supreme Treasures once the information is confirmed!" Yang Hao added, "Of course, information from your Silk Entwining Palace takes priority."

"Two Supreme Treasures!" After a moment of surprise, the manager said, "Venerable Hanjing is a Universe Overlord. Finding his exact location and remaining there until you arrive would indeed be somewhat difficult."

"I'll offer three Supreme Treasures. Notify me once you know his location. You don't need to concern yourselves with what follows." Yang Hao now had some wealth to his name. Supreme Treasures were not a problem.

As long as the price was right, this intelligence center had plenty of ways to get the job done.

"Deal!" Without wasting any more words, the manager immediately signed a contract with Yang Hao through the Virtual Universe.
