The Initial Universe.

Two figures passed through the Cosmic Passage and appeared in the Initial Universe. They stayed for only a moment before Teleportation again and disappearing.

Although the stay was short.

However, those who planned to leave Chaos City while waiting for the Initial Universe to open still discovered it.

"It's Venerable Zhen Yan! Venerable Zhen Yan has been frequently leaving Chaos City in recent years."

An Immortal God spoke in surprise.

Another person beside him said with a smile, " Venerable Zhen Yan spent countless years cultivating in Chaos City. Now that he has become Universe Venerable, there is naturally no need for him to stay here indefinitely."

" Universe Venerable One, my ancestor has been stuck at the Peak King for countless years, and I wonder if that day will ever come."

"Hehe, you're overthinking it. If becoming Universe Venerable were that simple, Venerable Zhen Yan wouldn't have been stuck at the King Rank for billions of years. Your ancestor probably has no chance of becoming Universe Venerable on his own. He should become a disciple of Myriad Laws Venerable; perhaps then he'll have a sliver of hope."

Hearing his companion's teasing, the man wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "If Myriad Laws Venerable is willing to take me as a disciple, my ancestor will definitely agree."

"You're dreaming. If Myriad Laws Venerable really accepts your ancestor, wouldn't you have several Universe Venerable as your backers?"

"Haha, I was just thinking, who was that little guy next to Venerable Zhen Yan just now? Does anyone recognize him?"

"That Blade Race boy? He's a disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable, his name is Parisi."

"A disciple of Myriad Laws Venerable? I've never heard of Myriad Laws Venerable having such a disciple."

"This Parisi is indeed a disciple of Myriad Laws Venerable, and one whom Myriad Laws Venerable took in before he joined our Virtual Universe Company. He cultivated in the Initial Universe for a long time before, but recently he disappeared and we haven't seen him for a long time. Among Myriad Laws Venerable's many disciples, Parisi is relatively weak, having only passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Lightning Heavenly Bridge."

" For World Lord Level to be able to pass the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge is already quite impressive for anyone else, but he is a disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable, which is too low. The other disciples of the Myriad Laws Venerable have performed remarkably well. Ling Yu passed the 19th level of the Heavenly Bridge many years ago, not to mention Yi Yun has already broken through to the King Rank —that Golden Sword passed the 18th level, Wu Man passed the 17th level—the entire World Lord Level of the Primal Secret Region has been raised a level by the disciples of the Myriad Laws Venerable."

"So it seems not all of Myriad Laws Venerable's disciples are accomplished? This Parisi is just average."

"After all, he's just a small clan Blade Race, with average potential. Becoming Myriad Laws Venerable has already used up all his luck."

"Yes, our teacher is Universe Venerable, and our senior brother is also Universe Venerable. If I had such a background, I could go anywhere and do whatever I wanted!"

The spaceships that had been queuing up ahead had already left, and one by one the Immortal God entered the Cosmic Passage before the sounds of their conversations ceased.

On the other side, outside the Chaos City of the Initial Universe, at Qingshan Residence.

Venerable Zhen Yan withdrew his divine power and looked at Parisi, saying, "Junior brother, you are not qualified to enter that Race Treasury. Wait at Qingshan Residence for now. I will come and help you take a look, recording all the Special Lifeform forms suitable for you to possess, so you can choose for yourself. Of course, I will also give you some advice. The treasures our teacher gave us this time are too precious. You don't need to worry about the price. Choose the best one that suits you best; this will be very helpful for your future growth."

" Zhen Yan, just how valuable is that five-colored bead? It's astonishing even to a Universe Venerable like you—"

--

Parisi was very curious.

A few days ago, when the teacher took out this treasure and bestowed it upon him and Zhen Yan, Zhen Yan didn't dare to reach out and take it.

I only accepted the treasure under the teacher's orders.

"Junior brother, this treasure—how should I put it?" Venerable Zhen Yan pondered for a moment, unsure how to describe it in a way that Parisi could understand. He said, "Although I am Universe Venerable, ninety-nine percent of Universe Venerable do not possess this treasure, and even the vast majority of Universe Country Lord, even if they staked their entire fortune, could not afford it. Now you understand?"

"Understood, Senior Brother." Parisi nodded. Even the Universe Country Lord couldn't afford such a treasure with his entire fortune. The treasure our teacher brought out this time was simply outrageous!

Parisi, the Zhen Yan World Lord, didn't explain the value of any treasures, as these weren't things he needed to know right now. He said, "We'll discuss this later in the Virtual Universe. You mainly need Special Lifeform related to lightning and the Time Law, right?"

"Hmm." Parisi nodded.

"Okay, I understand."

After confirming the statement, Venerable Zhen Yan Teleportation back to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion and headed towards the side hall of the treasure vault.

He had already applied for entry here before returning to the Initial Universe.

The bronze gate slowly opened.

With great excitement, Zhen Yan stepped inside. This was his second time entering the Human Race Treasury. The last time, he had obtained a loan of 100 True Treasure Points and used them to purchase many materials, increasing his Gene Multiplier tenfold.

This time, however, he was no longer as strapped for cash as before.

He was eager to find out just how valuable the treasure his teacher had given him was.

This is a top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure! Even if the entire Ape-man Race, they probably couldn't afford just one of these.

"I want to contribute my treasure."

Zhen Yan spoke up.

" Venerable Zhen Yan, please place the treasures you wish to contribute in the center of the stone plate." A gentle voice slowly sounded.

Venerable Zhen Yan took out the five-colored light pearl and examined it carefully. He realized that once this was contributed to the clan, it was probably impossible to see it again for many years to come.

After a moment, Venerable Zhen Yan placed the five-colored Life Soul Pearl in the center of the stone plate.

A white light enveloped the Life Soul Pearl.

Much later.

The gentle voice rang out again.

"A top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure, the Life Soul Pearl, worth 7.2 Supreme Treasure Point. Venerable Zhen Yan, would you like to contribute it to the clan?"

7.2 Supreme Treasure Point!!

Venerable Zhen Yan's enormous ape eyes widened in disbelief. He had previously checked the value of the clan's top-tier Soul True Treasure, which were roughly worth five or six Supreme Treasure Point.

Even if you still buy it, the contribution points will be discounted, but you can still exchange it for 7.2 Supreme Treasure Point.

This is absolutely exquisite!

According to Venerable Zhen Yan prediction, contributing this Life Soul Pearl to the clan would yield around 5 Supreme Treasure Point, but its current price far exceeds his expectations.

"Tribute----contribution----"

After a moment's hesitation, Venerable Zhen Yan decided to give up contacting his teacher and instead contribute. As the Universe Overlord, his teacher clearly knew the value of this treasure.

This Life Soul Pearl, Top-Tier Heavy Treasure, is practically the limit for True Treasure. My teacher said there are even better ones. Could it be that my teacher possesses Soul Defense Supreme Treasure?

Venerable Zhen Yan secretly speculated in his heart.

In his heart, his teacher was always unfathomable. Not only was his strength unfathomable, but his treasures were also terrifyingly numerous, as if he possessed a treasure trove.

After the contribution was successful, the Life Soul Pearl was taken by the clan, and Venerable Zhen Yan's account received 7.2 Supreme Treasure Point.

Although he was about to spend it all, that didn't stop Venerable Zhen Yan from showing off a little.

Such a large balance would make even High Venerable, the Universe Country Lord, envious. But then he thought, there's no one he can show off to. After all, he just broke through to the level of Universe Venerable, and his previous social circle was only at the King Rank. Showing off this to them would be meaningless.

In the end, Venerable Zhen Yan simply forwarded the email confirming the arrival of the Supreme Treasure Point to another teacher, Black Ape Venerable.

He then began to examine the most suitable Soul Defense True Treasure for himself.

Within the Race Treasury, the number of top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure was not large, with only a little over a hundred in stock. Venerable Zhen Yan examined them one by one. The lowest priced item was 3.7 Supreme Treasure Point, while the highest priced item was the Life Soul Pearl he had just contributed, priced at 8 Supreme Treasure Point.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Zhen Yan's lips twitched.

The difference of 0.8 Supreme Treasure Point is equivalent to the entire wealth of an ordinary Universe Venerable.

However, finding a suitable buyer for such Supreme Treasure is not easy, at least not in the short term. Venerable Zhen Yan was prepared for this. He carefully selected one from among many top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure, and finally chose one that suited him best.

" Earth Soul Pearl."

With a value of 6.1 Supreme Treasure Point, it ranks among the top Soul Defense True Treasure in the race.

The surface of the bead is seamless, covered with patterns resembling the laws of the earth, and the gaps between the patterns emit an earthy yellow halo. It gives people a sense of weight and grandeur.

Venerable Zhen Yan was very satisfied.

With such a treasure guarding his soul, combined with his Soul Defense Secret Technique and the will of Universe Venerable level, he can almost completely ignore the Soul Attack of ordinary High Universe Venerable. Even when pursued by Universe Overlord, at least his soul will not be in much trouble.

Even if they encounter the Universe Master, they have the chance to self-destruct in an instant! As long as they successfully self-destruct, they will definitely be resurrected in the future.

"My precious baby!"

Venerable Zhen Yan looked at it for a long time, but did not immediately choose to exchange it. In any case, he was the only one in the Race Treasury at the moment, so he did not need to worry about others exchanging it in advance.

He hadn't forgotten what his teacher had said: this treasure was a gift for both him and Parisi, so he needed to first help Parisi find Special Lifeform suitable for him to possess.

Venerable Zhen Yan searched for a long time among the special materials.

He reviewed almost every opportunity for Special Lifeform forms to possess another body under the Time Origin Law.

Then they discussed it with Parisi in the Virtual Universe.

"Junior brother, almost all the Special Lifeform suitable for you to possess are here. Which one do you think is suitable?"

Venerable Zhen Yan recounted everything he had recorded and presented it in the form of a data card. The consciousness of the Universe Venerable was so powerful that he could perfectly relay the introduction of the Race Treasury.

Parisi didn't know much about Special Lifeform Special Lifeform, and even after cramming on a lot of information, he still couldn't make a choice when faced with them.

Once you make this choice, there's no going back; it determines the rest of your life.

Unfortunately, the teacher didn't intend to make this choice for him, which left Parisi somewhat conflicted.

" Zhen Yan, you are very experienced, do you have any recommendations?" Parisi asked.

The experience of a Universe Venerable is certainly better than blindly making choices.

If I were to offer advice—

Venerable Zhen Yan shifted his gaze from the data cards one by one, finally settling on a pale blue phantom.

The Shadow of Kronos.

Special Lifeform in a special form, its true form is a wisp of time mist that can transform into any form. A favorite of the Time Origin Law, with Gene Multiplier of sixty times.

" Parisi, although you major in the Lightning Origin Law and choose Special Lifeform related to the Lightning Origin Law to quickly improve your strength, your potential is not as good as this one! This Shadow of Kronos has an extremely high talent in the Time Origin Law! In the future, it has a sliver of a chance to become Universe Venerable. Even if it cannot become Time Venerable, once it becomes King-level Immortal, relying on its Innate Secret Technique and Gene Multiplier, its strength will be greater than mine was at its peak."

Parisi carefully examined the description of the Shadow of Kronos, then nodded and said, "Then let's choose this one!"

Although Parisi didn't know much about Special Lifeform, he did know that Special Lifeform related to Higher Law were definitely much stronger than those related to Lower Law.

Choosing this darling of the Time Law —with greater future potential—Brother Zhen Yan certainly wouldn't joke about something so important.

"Are you sure?" Zhen Yan reminded him again.

"Okay, it's decided."

Parisi replied.

Within the Race Treasury.

"Exchange for the opportunity to possess the Shadow of Kronos."

"Exchange for Earth Soul Pearl!"

Venerable Zhen Yan spoke.

The Earth Soul Pearl worth 6.1 Supreme Treasure Point, and the Shadow of Kronos Possession opportunity is worth 0.7 Supreme Treasure Point, for a total of 6.8 Supreme Treasure Point.

After the exchange is complete.

Venerable Zhen Yan's balance has increased to 0.4 Supreme Treasure Point.
