Luck, a Palace Emerges, and Recognition

Qie Qiong stood in the sky above the Primal Star, looking down upon this Legend land.

Based on the detailed intelligence provided to him by the Human Race, Qie Qiong has gained a basic understanding of the Primal Star.

"According to the data," he thought to himself, "The plants, trees, rocks, and streams here are all part of the Primal Star."

He had already surveyed the giant rock beneath his feet and the seemingly ordinary vegetation around him.

These substances may seem ordinary, but they are extremely difficult to destroy.

Even if the power of the Universe Master could forcibly damage some parts, those fragments would disappear instantly, and would immediately re-condense and return to their original state.

Any attempt to remove the soil or branches is futile; they will follow the rules of the Primal Universe and quickly return to their original positions.

Only those items that are not "integrated" with the Primal Star, such as treasures born from the origin, are the spoils that the powerful who enter the Primal Star can truly fight for and take away.

"Treasures naturally formed on the Primal Star won't return to their original place like these flowers, grasses, and rocks," Qie Qiong pondered. "Theoretically, if I unleash the full power of my Wind-Thunder Realm, it's indeed possible to unleash a terrifying, indiscriminate attack across a wide area, bringing forth some deeply hidden treasures, even Supreme Treasures— "

"Furthermore, we cannot use the Annihilation Divine Power; it would be such a waste if we damaged the precious treasures and Supreme Treasure."

His Annihilation Divine Power is vastly different from normal divine power. Even if other Universe Master can destroy precious treasures or even Supreme Treasures, they do so only when they are at their full strength. But for him, as long as his Annihilation Divine Power touches a precious treasure, that treasure may be damaged.

Moreover, even if it couldn't destroy the treasure, it wouldn't be worth it. As I said before, Qie Qiong's current divine power reserves are only equivalent to those divine bodies that are a dozen kilometers in size, which is still too little.

He calmed his mind and began to sense the energy permeating the Primal Star.

This is exactly what the records of Human Race say: most powerful individuals on the Primal Star prefer the most efficient way to find treasure by sensing energy fluctuations.

Especially when powerful individuals engage in fierce battles for a treasure, the resulting surge of energy is powerful enough to penetrate space and reach extremely distant places, becoming a beacon to attract other powerful individuals. In addition, the Heaven and Earth phenomena that occur when a treasure is born are also the most direct clues to determine its level.

The appearance of a precious treasure usually causes very little disturbance; a top-tier set of precious treasures might cause a slight ripple of energy; but the appearance of Supreme Treasure will inevitably cause a dramatic change in the celestial phenomena!

Therefore, the scale of these events almost directly corresponds to the level of the treasure.

Sometimes, Ancient Palaces may even rise from the ground, containing priceless Supreme Treasures.

The summary of intelligence on Human Race is: the greater the commotion, the higher the value of the treasure.

There are 10,081 Primal Stars, each with 10,081 Vortex Passage suspended in mid-air, which are the paths out.

Qie Qiong stood silently in the void. "Treasure hunting on the Primal Star involves either wandering around aimlessly hoping for luck, or waiting patiently to sense the aura and movement of a treasure's emergence."

"Waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump is a safer option, and it also allows one to use Divine Power Avatar to circumvent the shield of the Universe Origin and access the Virtual Universe to gather information about allies."

Because the Primal Star is close to the origin of the universe, the Virtual Universe does not cover it; it can only be accessed through Divine Power Clone within the divine kingdom.

"Um?"

Qie Qiong suddenly looked in the direction where he had sensed the commotion. "I didn't expect to find such a powerful Supreme Treasure so soon after arriving?"

Despite the great distance, Qie Qiong could still clearly sense the energy fluctuations coming from afar.

The entire Primal Star seemed to tremble slightly. In the distant, vast primeval forest, the earth arched upwards, and an unimaginably enormous object, accompanied by tremendous energy fluctuations, slowly rose from the depths of the earth!

That was none other than the Ancient Palace mentioned in the intelligence report.

Qie Qiong hadn't expected to encounter such a high-level treasure upon his arrival.

This is understandable, as the original work states that twelve large-scale massacres occurred within a hundred years of the Primal Star's opening.

The palace's bas-relief-covered base was the first thing to emerge from the ground, followed by the majestic palace walls, which appeared to be carved from a single piece of dark golden rock and were inscribed with mysterious runes.

The palace rose only a few thousand meters before coming to a temporary halt, as if it were gathering its strength.

The palace was not yet fully revealed, but a vast aura, almost tangible, was already spreading wildly in all directions.

This was felt by all the powerful beings on the entire Primal Star.

"Ancient Palace?!" Qie Qiong instantly locked onto the magnificent palace about to emerge from the ground. "The palace containing Supreme Treasures, as mentioned in the intelligence, has actually appeared so soon after I arrived on this Primal Star? What luck!"

Boom!

Without any hesitation, Qie Qiong instantly transformed into a dazzling silver-gold Flowing Light and flew towards the palace.

The terrifying resistance on the Primal Star, which would have slowed down even the Universe Overlord, seemed to be non-existent to him, and his speed instantly reached its limit.

Sub-light speed!

"The intelligence reports that the worst treasures appearing in the palace are at the level of ordinary Domain Supreme Treasures, or even Top-tier Supreme Treasures. I wonder what level this one will be." Qie Qiong thought to himself as he flew rapidly. "Such an opportunity so soon after arriving? It seems my premonition was right."

The terrifying energy emanating from the Ancient Palace, like a boulder thrown into a lake, instantly rippled across the Primal Star.

If Qie Qiong was farther away, could sense it, then the other powerful figures in the nearby palace area were naturally also alarmed by this fluctuation.

"That—that's the birth of a palace?!" In a nearby mountain range, three Alien Race venerables who had just been confronting each other over an Ordinary Heavy Treasure suddenly stopped and looked towards the huge palace horn soaring into the sky in the distance.

"It's a palace! Absolutely! A palace containing at least High-grade Supreme Treasures!" Above another swamp, a team of four Universe Venerables erupted in excitement. The captain's voice was filled with ecstasy, "Hurry over there!"

"It's the aura of Palace Supreme Treasure!" Three crystal-based Universe Overlords, each possessing a perfectly formed body forged from Crystal Race and nearly identical in height and appearance, were rushing towards a top-tier treasure component when they suddenly stopped. Their crystalline eyes simultaneously turned towards the direction from which the palace had emerged, and they exchanged glances, "Abandon that treasure set, target the Ancient Palace!"

"Haha! Heaven is on my side!" A figure with silver curved horns, purple eyes, a body covered in gray scales, and a scorpion's tail, was searching for Supreme Treasures on this Primal Star. Suddenly, it stopped, its gaping maw of sharp teeth splitting into a ferocious grin, and it roared deafeningly, "Arriving here and already encountering the birth of a palace? When luck comes, you can't stop it! Let's go!"

If you have broad knowledge--

It will likely be recognized soon that the creature, resembling a human with curved horns, gray scales, and a scorpion tail, is the Purple Cocoon Beast, one of the Starry Sky Behemoth.

The Starry Sky Behemoth come in various shapes and sizes, some even resembling human forms; the Purple Cocoon Beast is one of them.

The Purple Cocoon Beast is notorious for its bloodthirstiness.

It suddenly turned around, creating a violent shockwave, and rushed towards the palace.

"A palace! An Ancient Palace has been created!"

"Quick! Forget about those little things! Head towards the palace!"

The five teams that were originally searching for treasures, along with dozens of Universe Venerables from various races, now rushed towards the palace like sharks smelling blood.

Streaks of Flowing Light pierced the void, rushing headlong towards the Ancient Palace that rose from the ground.

In the distant void, more Flowing Light flickered, clearly indicating that even more powerful beings from afar were drawn to this fluctuation that had shaken the entire Primal Star.

Call out!

Because of his divine power, although Qie Qiong's realm was only that of a normal Universe Overlord, his speed was the fastest.

The silver-gold Flowing Light he transformed into was like a sharp sword piercing the void, instantly leaping across vast forests and plains.

His senses clearly detected the increasingly powerful aura emanating from the palace, as well as dozens of powerful auras rapidly approaching from the surrounding space.

"Hmm? This aura is much stronger than described in the intelligence. I feel like I'm actually Top-tier Supreme Treasure?" The closer he got, the clearer his perception became, and Qie Qiong's heart trembled slightly.

Although he wasn't the closest to the palace, his speed allowed him to be the first to reach its core area.

Before us lay a basin, with countless huge rocks and soil overturned and piled up all around.

In the center of the basin, the foundation and part of the magnificent palace, a colossal structure forged from some ancient metal and rock, have risen thousands of meters high, radiating a chilling aura of power.

The palace's surface was covered with intricate and enigmatic patterns, and wisps of chaotic energy flowed through its crevices.

Judging from its size, the exposed portion is probably only one or two tenths of the whole.

"It's a palace!"

"This commotion, this aura—it's at least High-grade Supreme Treasure."

"We were a step too slow; some of the strongest Human Race have already reached the core area."

"That human aura was completely concealed, making it impossible to fathom its strength, yet it dared to venture to the very front all by itself?"

"To be the first to arrive despite the pressure from the Primal Star, they are definitely not simple; they must at least be Universe Overlord!"

In other words, most of the powerful beings who dare to act alone on the Primal Star are Universe Overlords.

In the outside world, as long as the Universe Overlord does not use his full strength and only senses the aura of the divine body, it is impossible to distinguish between the Universe Overlord and the Advanced Universe Venerable.

In the distance, streaks of Flowing Light slowed down and stopped at the edge of the area enveloped by the palace's oppressive aura.

The three members of the Crystal Race, along with the first few teams to arrive, have all arrived.

They stared in disbelief at the Qie Qiong hovering directly above the palace, and at the colossal object that slowly rose, emanating a terrifying aura. For a moment, none of them dared to rush into the core area.

The first human figure to arrive, though appearing small against the backdrop of the palace, exuded an air of unfathomable depth.

However, the main reason why there was no conflict among the people was that the palace had not yet been fully unveiled.

It's very simple. The palace appears, but you can't rush into it during the process. You have to wait until the palace is fully revealed before you can try to open it and seize the Supreme Treasures inside.

Since no one has yet seen what the Supreme Treasure looks like, they certainly won't make a move rashly.

Rumble--

The ground beneath their feet continued to tremble, and each time the palace rose, it was accompanied by a thunderous roar.

A vast aura spread out, enveloping the entire basin and the ever-growing number of powerful figures from various races gathered around it.

Qie Qiong stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly fixed on the palace rising below.

His aura seemed to blend into the oppressive space, making those who came later hesitant to enter the core area of the palace.

"It's him—that's right!" Suddenly, a voice exclaimed from the edge of the area.

The speaker was a High Venerable of the Crystal Race, composed of blue crystal, who was staring intently at Qie Qiong's back.

"Who? Do you know that human powerhouse?" His companion, another Crystal Race Venerable, immediately pressed for an answer.

"Didn't you read the intelligence? The Jixing Palace Master, the newly promoted Universe Master the Human Race." The High Venerable of the Crystal Race revealed the information he knew. "Some time ago, he fought against the Demon Race's Lord of the Demon Race Lord of Sky Wolf in the Constant Sand Secret Region, and then at the Supreme Council, it was announced that he had been promoted to Universe Master."

The Crystal Race expert didn't bother to conceal his voice, so it was naturally overheard by the other experts.

"Jixing Palace Master?"

"Is this the Jixing Palace Master?"

"Hiss—no wonder he dared to be the first to arrive at the core alone!"

When Qie Qiong announced his advancement to the Universe Master, the news naturally became known to many forces in the Primal Universe.

However, his rise to prominence was too recent, and although the outside world had heard of his name, they couldn't possibly recognize him at a glance.

When this news reached other powerful figures, it instantly caused a huge uproar among the powerful individuals of all races.

The gazes of the crowd toward Qie Qiong were filled with apprehension, but even more so with resentment.

Universe Master!

Even if he is just a newly ascended Universe Master, he is still an existence that stands at the pinnacle of the Primal Universe.

For the Universe Venerable present, they were all giants to be looked up to.

Previously, I only felt that this person's aura was unfathomable, and that he might be some powerful overlord. I never expected that he would actually be a true ruler of the universe.

The oppressive feeling brought by this identity made the aura emanating from Qie Qiong seem to increase hundreds of times in their perception.

Some of the High Venerable had initially been eager to make a move gradually restrained their intentions.

With the Universe Master right before them, and without any being of equal standing to restrain them, who would dare to seize the Supreme Treasure? That would be tantamount to courting death!

While the probability of one of the 10,081 Primal Stars being on the same primordial planet as Universe Master primordial Universe Master is not nonexistent, it is extremely small.

Just then, an extremely fierce and domineering pressure suddenly descended.

Boom!

A dark purple streak of Flowing Light tore through the sky.

They descended directly into another void hundreds of kilometers away from the Qie Qiong.

As the light faded, a ferocious figure was revealed—a silver curved horn gleaming with a cold light, a humanoid body covered in thick gray scales that was nearly a hundred kilometers tall, a scorpion tail covered in bone spurs lashing behind it, and purple vertical pupils filled with savagery and greed. It was none other than the bloodthirsty Purple Cocoon Beast overlord!

As soon as it stood still, its gaze greedily swept over the palaces rising below, then abruptly turned to the Qie Qiong.

When it sensed the unfathomable aura emanating from Qie Qiong, and especially when it heard the exclamations of the "Jixing Palace Master" and the "Universe Master" around it, an extremely obvious look of fear flashed across its ferocious face.

Even if it is Starry Sky Behemoth and Universe Overlord, to the Universe Master, it is nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

As time passed, more and more powerful individuals were drawn by the aura.

The three Universe Overlords of the Crystal Race arrived together, occupying one side: one overlord of the Machine Race accompanied by several High Venerables; two overlords of the Prison Race also quietly appeared.

In a short period of time, the number of Universe Overlords on the edge of the basin has reached ten, while the Universe Venerables from various races surrounding them has reached hundreds.

Of course, some Universe Venerables from the Hongmeng Alliance also came to Qie Qiong's side.

As for the Alien Races, they knew that although their combined strength seemed formidable, they were no match for the Jixing Palace Master, even if they were all together, in the eyes of a true Universe Master.

It will only require him to put in some effort.

They could only hope that there was a being on this Primal Star who could rival the Jixing Palace Master.

As if on cue, the arrival of an aura invigorated the powerful figures in the basin. This figure's arrival also gave the already clear situation a glimmer of hope.
