Yu Xiang Mountain, in the Public Region Drunken Firmament Tower, is a restaurant with a classical style.
Rong Jun, Ai Chen, Wuka, Qian Shui, Jiang Mo, and a few others gathered here. The rest were either on missions or had not yet responded.
"You've finally decided to come out! Even Luo Feng went off on a mission, and you've disappeared for decades before finally showing up!" Ai Chen said to Zhang Junbao with deep emotion. "I heard you're currently learning how to Treasure Refining. We haven't had enough time to comprehend the Law yet, and everyone's worried that you might have gone astray in your cultivation."
"Haha, thank you for your concern, but I've already discussed the Treasure Refining matter with the Chaos City Lord. If anything goes wrong, he'll probably make me stop immediately."
Zhang Junbao laughed, "I've only been using the Treasure Refining to comprehend the Law, and I've already achieved some success. I'm ready to begin my mission."
"I just got back from a mission!" Jiang Mo said. "I've completed two Difficult Level missions, but the points were too few to be of much use. I'll rest for a while, then I'm going to try a Dangerous Level mission. With my strength, I should be able to handle it!"
"Brother, you actually dared to take on Dangerous Level mission? There's a 50% mortality rate. We have to be very careful in selecting the candidates and make all the necessary preparations!" Qian Shui said worriedly.
"Now that Bolan, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun have all taken on Dangerous Level missions, the Difficult Level missions won't be very helpful for my development. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid the gap between me and them will only widen," Jiang Mo said.
"I just came back from a Dangerous Level mission. That mission almost cost me my life. It wasn't just a matter of strength; you have to remember not to reveal your identity as an outsider during a mission. While I was completing the mission, I discovered a hidden secret. I only investigated it slightly before my identity was exposed, and now several World Lord are tracking me down because of this mission."
"If I hadn't escaped quickly, I probably wouldn't be here talking to you right now," Rong Jun said, still shaken.
" World Lord? Dangerous Level Mission has even attracted World Lord Level?" Jiang Mo asked.
"That's right. You have to know when to quit while you're ahead in Dangerous Level missions. I discovered the Time Bird's feather during the mission. Each feather is worth 500 points. To get it, I kept pursuing it and ended up being hunted down by five World Lord. Even Immortal made a move during that time. Luckily, I was well-prepared and managed to escape using a spaceship."
"Most mission worlds are extremely hostile to outsiders like us; once you use the spaceship, the mission is considered over."
The group gathered together and chatted for a long time, exchanging their experiences in carrying out missions over the years, which gave Zhang Junbao a lot of inspiration. After chatting for a while, they all left, each with their own cultivation plans.
" The Blood Luo World where Luo Feng is currently located is a good choice, but I estimate that Luo Feng has already collected quite a lot of Blood Luo Crystal, so it wouldn't be of much use for me if I went there now."
Although Zhang Junbao was very confident in himself, he didn't want to be blindly confident, so he chose the Desperate Level for his first mission.
With a 90% mortality rate, those who dared to choose the Desperate Level were all fully prepared and incredibly confident, yet almost nine out of ten still died. Those who survived probably had an element of luck involved. This... is what a desperate situation is!
" The Blood Luo World is located within the Primordial Secret Realm. It will probably take me quite a while to get there. Let me first see what quests are available in the Primal Secret Region."
Zhang Junbao carefully studied the mission list. There were a total of 186 Dangerous Level missions, not only in the Virtual Universe Company's territory, but also in the secret realms controlled by the other major forces. Among the five major forces, many resources were shared, and secret realms were one of them.
The number one Dangerous Level mission on the list: 1. Viska Star ( within the Primal Secret Region of the Virtual Universe Company ).
"Hmm? The Blood Luo World is so magical because a Beast God once fell, which is why the Blood Luo Crystal are so powerful. This Viska Star is ranked first, it's probably not simple."
Zhang Junbao clicked on the introduction and indeed discovered something unusual.
" Viska Star, a strange planet born in the Primal Secret Region. It was born at the very beginning of the Cosmic Secret Realm Viska Star. Its antiquity and mystery surpass even the oldest Universe Country of humankind."
The Viska Star reveres rune culture. According to legend, the Viska Star People are descendants of the ' Ancestral God,' and each person is born with an innate rune, a power bestowed upon them by the ' Ancestral God.' On the Viska Star, there exists a group of Immortal beings who constantly guard the ' Ancestral God Tomb.'
Upon seeing this introduction, Zhang Junbao was deeply moved. Perhaps other Universe Level did not know what the ' Ancestral God ' meant, but Zhang Junbao understood it very well.
Ancestral God are the representatives of the Universe Origin Will. Although each Ancestral God cannot break through to become the Universe Supreme Master, they are able to contend with the Universe Supreme Master in the Original Universe universe and are favored by the Universe Origin.
But even Ancestral God can perish.
"The existence of the ' Ancestral God Tomb ' on Viska Star is probably more than just a coincidence in name. A tomb guarded by a group of Immortal must be Vikas Star's greatest secret. Since the Blood Luo World has Blood Luo Crystal left behind by the fallen Beast God, the possibility that Viska Star contains relics of the Ancestral God is very high."
Zhang Junbao continued to learn more; the detailed introduction to Viska Star was quite lengthy. After all, it involved the life safety of every training genius, and the Virtual Universe Company wouldn't be careless.
They have information that doesn't significantly exceed their level of strength.
Viska Star, with a diameter rooted at 2 light-years, or 18 trillion kilometers. Its area is even more terrifying.
Such a vast living area has created a terrifying population base on Viska Star. Coupled with the rune civilization that prevails on Viska Star and the nurturing of the Universe Origin, powerful beings are everywhere.
"Warn!"
" Viska Star is extremely hostile to outsiders, especially Machine Race. All Intelligent Life devices must be strictly hidden, and technological weapons are not allowed to be carried."
Both psychic and Origin Force weapons must be replaced with those available on Viska Star; otherwise, they will not be permitted. Additionally, physical modifications are required to conform to the characteristics of Viska Star.
"To enter Viska Star, one must learn their Language of Runes."
"Could the Ancestral God of Viska Star have been killed by the Machine Race? Otherwise, why would he hate the Machine Race so much that he wouldn't even allow them to be carried on his spaceship?"
Mission on Viska Star:
First, awaken the Wisdom Divine Rune and become a Rune Sage; success will reward you with 20,000 points.
Secondly, obtaining a Bi Xue Jade will reward you with 100,000 points. (A specialty of Viska Star, not found anywhere else in the universe.)
Completing either of the two tasks signifies the successful completion of the cultivation mission.
Zhang Junbao carefully studied the mission details. Becoming Rune Sage was likely a special form of identity verification; the specifics would only be known on Viska Star.
However, what exactly is this Bi Xue Jade, and why is it worth ten times more than Blood Luo Crystal?
Considering the Ancestral God Tomb on Viska Star, it's highly likely that it's something related to the Ancestral God.
All Ancestral God are Universe Master; how could anything possessed by Universe Master be inferior?
Dangerous Level missions award between 10,000 and 20,000 points, with very few offering two missions. However, the Viska Star is likely to involve the ' Ancestral God,' the representative of the Universe Origin Will, making it more dangerous than ordinary missions and thus awarding higher points.
After confirming the task, Zhang Junbao began making various preparations.
" Viska Star, and because their Language of Runes is more like a Law- based language, the application of Law in this secret realm has reached an extremely advanced level, and it is rich in various materials with Power of Law."
The Space-Time Hunyuan Sword is made of materials containing the dual Law of space-time, and Viska Star happens to have materials with these properties, making it usable.
The Divine Fire Armor was forged by the Iron Fire King and can transform into various styles. Unless it is damaged, its material cannot be discerned.
On the contrary, the Cloud-Touching Vine, as a rare plant life form in the universe, does not exist on Viska Star, and it would easily expose one's identity, so it cannot be carried.
As a planet with highly developed Law of motion, Viska Star does have Space Ring. However, you absolutely cannot appear Feitian. As long as you don't reveal the mechanical devices, there won't be any problems.
If anyone dared to pull out a Machine Race spaceship on Viska Star, they would probably be hunted down by the Immortal World Lord there, both in the heavens and on the earth. After all, it was the hatred of their entire race.
" Language of Runes? That's quite a magical language. To utter Language of Runes, one must have some mastery of the Power of Law. The infants of Viska Star are born with the ability to master the Power of Law; it's truly a terrifying racial talent."
On Viska Star, Language of Runes has two levels: one is Language of Runes emitted by the Eight Great Fundamental Laws, and the other is Language of Runes emitted by the two great Law of time and space. Those who can use these two great Law to emit Language of Runes are either top geniuses or powerful individuals, and like a noble accent, they are given special respect by the locals.
For Zhang Junbao, who has mastered the Ten Great Laws, learning the Ten Language of Runes is a piece of cake.
"Master, the Chaos City Lord has sent a video request!" Feitian popped up to notify.
"Connect!" Zhang Junbao said quickly.
As the video began, a virtual screen automatically appeared in front of Zhang Junbao, showing the Chaos City Lord. His eyes seemed to see through time and space, shooting out two sharp beams of light.
"Senior brother!"
Zhang Junbao bowed and said.
The Chaos City Lord was silent for a moment before saying, "The first mission, applying for the Dangerous Level, is relatively safe. However, the danger level of Viska Star is comparable to a regular Desperate Level Mission. The Viska Star People worship their Ancestral God and are not particularly fond of killing."
However, remember, you must never violate the taboos of Viska Star, and you must never blaspheme the Ancestral God on it, otherwise the danger level of Viska Star will directly soar to the Desperate Level!
There are countless World Lord there, and even the Immortal are merely guards of the Ancestral God Tomb. There are also many King Level Immortal, and even Venerable risk perishing if they are not careful. When you go there for training, remember to be cautious above all else, and never let momentary greed lead you into danger."
"This...!"
Hearing the words of the Chaos City Lord, Zhang Junbao realized just how terrifying the danger on Viska Star truly was! King Level Immortal were everywhere, and even Venerable were at risk of perishing.
Such a secret realm isn't even Desperate Level?
"That dangerous?"
"Because the mission level can suddenly increase at any time, it is the number one Dangerous Level mission. As long as you don't violate the taboos of Viska Star, it might be a good opportunity for you."
On the Viska Star, the application of Universe Laws is highly advanced, even comparable to that of Virtual Universe Company. However, they despise mechanical civilizations and have hidden themselves from developing technology, instead giving rise to an extremely prosperous Law civilization.
Do not be greedy for credit; the priority is to return alive!
"Yes!"
After saying his last sentence, the Chaos City Lord shut down the signal.
However, Zhang Junbao sensed that he seemed to have something in mind, but didn't say it explicitly.
Zhang Junbao sent an email to Iron Fire King informing him that he was about to depart, and Iron Fire King replied with some information about the situation on Viska Star.
"This is some information I've compiled about Viska Star. Come back alive!" Venerable Guiyi's smile faded, and he said seriously.
"Don't worry, senior brother!"
The next day, a spaceship arrived at the manor to greet them.
For each person carrying out a mission, Virtual Universe Company will arrange a dedicated transportation person to take them to their destination.
"Your Highness Zhang Junbao, this is Weiden, responsible for transporting you to Viska Star! We are traveling in the Dark Universe and are expected to arrive in 36 hours!"
A distinguished middle-aged man stepped off the spaceship, his expression very serious.
Zhang Junbao nodded and boarded the spaceship.
Viska Star is located within the Primal Secret Region, and it's not far away.
Soon, Zhang Junbao saw this colossal planet. Around it, ten enormous stars revolved around Viska Star, much like the ten Sun in ancient Huaxia legends.
Because of Viska Star's enormous size, it is quite peculiar that stars revolve around it.
Zhang Junbao saw that the entire Viska Star was pale blue, and the whole planet seemed to be emitting a faint light.
Even without the illumination of a star, Viska Star can emit its own light, completely overturning Zhang Junbao's understanding of celestial bodies.
This is the Viska Star, the location of the Ancestral God Tomb!
Near one of the Sun of Viska Star, a colossal palace floats above, radiating an intense divine light that even the nearby stars cannot obscure. It is as if it were the eleventh Sun of the Viska World.
Soon, the spaceship arrived in front of the palace.
"Your Highness, my mission is complete now that I have brought you here. Someone will be there to the Reception Hall to Viska Star. I wish Your Highness a successful mission!"
" Weiden, thank you!"
Zhang Junbao nodded. Inside the palace, a group of people had already come to greet him.
"Your Highness Zhang Junbao, Venerable Golden Crow requests your presence. Please follow me!"
Leading the group was a World Lord, accompanied by a group of Domain Lord, who gave Zhang Junbao a very grand welcome.
Following this World Lord, Zhang Junbao arrived at the palace and went straight to the top thirty-third floor.
The palace was enormous, offering a panoramic view of most of Viska Star. The thirty-three-story palace was guarded by thirty-three powerful individuals of varying levels. After all, the native inhabitants of Viska Star were incredibly strong, and without absolute military force, it would be impossible to maintain control of this secret realm.
Among the powerful guardians, the strongest is Venerable Golden Crow, who, like this palace, has become the eleventh Sun of Viska Star, intimidating the entire planet.
The fact that Universe Venerable could bring dozens of powerful figures to suppress it demonstrates the terrifying nature and importance of this secret realm.
Zhang Junbao was led to a golden hall, inside which was a dazzling Sun disc, radiating golden light.
Before the Sun disk, a golden-haired, jade-faced man sat on a throne.
His body seemed to be covered with a layer of shimmering golden feathers, but his fiery red eyes were captivating, drawing people in without them even realizing it.
Upon entering the main hall, bursts of golden light rose up, creating an invisible pressure.
Zhang Junbao stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, " Zhang Junbao greets Your Venerable!"
"He conquered seven Trial Tower, cultivated the Ten Great Laws, reached the Tenth Layer of the Universe Heavenly Bridge, and was sought after by hundreds of Venerable, ultimately becoming a disciple of the Chaos City Lord," Venerable Golden Crow said, gesturing appreciatively at Zhang Junbao. "Such a genius is unparalleled in hundreds of millions of epochs, enough to suppress the present generation and defy all previous geniuses. Although Viska Star is Dangerous Level mission, the terrifying crises it contains are no less than those of the Desperate Level. Your first mission here is extremely dangerous."
"When you applied for the mission, the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company even discussed rejecting your application. It would be a loss for the entire Human Race if a genius like you were to perish in the secret realm."
However, in the end, the Chaos City Lord approved your application. Do you understand what this means?
"Since I've made this choice, I naturally have a certain level of confidence. Even if the Chaos City Lord rejects my application, I will apply again."
"Danger and opportunity coexist. I also need to constantly hone myself to become a true strong person, rather than a 'genius' who needs to be protected!" Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
"Your ambition is commendable; every genius is brimming with confidence, believing themselves to be unparalleled!" Venerable Golden Crow chuckled. "However, when they truly face a life-or-death crisis, they realize how naive they were. I hope you can take responsibility for your choices, persevere, and become a true powerhouse."
"I am an old acquaintance of your second senior brother, Venerable Guiyi, and you are a top genius of our Human Race. Since you are here, I cannot leave without showing my regards!"
As he spoke, a feather flew off his body and floated in front of Zhang Junbao: "If you encounter danger, destroy this feather, and I will arrive immediately!"
"Thank you, Venerable!"
Zhang Junbao's face lit up with joy. Having an extra layer of protection during his training was something he naturally wouldn't refuse.
As the second disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Venerable Guiyi had connections with almost all the Venerable in the Virtual Universe Company.
This is true power: the friend of the strong is also a strong person!
Having a powerful backer is the dream of countless people.
"We, along with that grumpy Iron Fire King and the other two, once roamed the universe together, conquering countless secret realms. Later, I guarded this place, while they each had their own duties." Venerable Golden Crow recalled the past, shook his head, and continued, " Viska Star holds great opportunities, but also great dangers. Once you enter, remember one thing: survival is the most important thing."
As for opportunities, as long as you're alive, there's a chance; don't think too much about anything else!
"Yes!"
Not only the Chaos City Lord and Venerable Guiyi, but even Venerable Golden Crow is now warning him that Viska Star is fraught with danger and that it may be hiding a very deep secret.
" Mingyue, escort Zhang Junbao to the entrance to Viska Star."
"Yes, Your Venerable!"
A beautiful woman walked in, bowed respectfully, and then gestured for Zhang Junbao to leave with her.
After leaving the hall, we arrived at a spaceship docking area, where several people were already waiting.
"Your Highness Zhang Junbao, these gentlemen are also traveling to Viska Star. Viska Star is extremely averse to mechanical devices, and spaceships cannot enter. Therefore, we will use a teleportation array on Viska Star to transport you to Viska Star surface."
"Teleportation array? The application of Space Law?"
King Level expert who has a profound understanding of the Space Law can master Teleportation and even lead others to Teleportation together.
It's unbelievable that the Viska Star has developed a teleportation array that uses Space Law for teleportation; this is truly rare in the universe.
The runes around the teleportation array flickered slightly, as if it were charging up.
"The teleportation preparation is complete. Please stand in the center of the teleportation array, restrain your own power of Law, and do not resist."
"Mingyue said."
Zhang Junbao wasn't the only one Viska Star; there were also two World Lord and an Immortal, who must have accepted a higher-level mission.
But the moment the teleportation light came on, a terrifying pressure suddenly emanated from that Immortal being.
"Boom...!"
The Immortal's face was expressionless, as if he were a suicide soldier, and he self-destructed, instantly unleashing a terrifying storm of Destruction.
The distance was so close, it surprised everyone!
Zhang Junbao never expected that, having just embarked on his journey of cosmic trials, he would not be met with the terrifying crisis of the secret realm, but rather with danger coming from right beside him!
