Chapter 107, Invitation
On the original star, numbered 09527, the massive temple was still slowly rising. Around the temple, the small teams composed of high-level Venerables had long since disappeared. Even the powerful figures standing on the outermost edge were at least top-tier cosmic overlords.
Those powerful figures standing closest to the temple were all renowned cosmic lords from the primordial universe.
Amidst the darkness of the void, the Lord of the Star River wields two bronze maces with golden edges; the Lord of Chaos City, clad in the Thousand Treasures River and holding a broken stone staff; the Lord of Golden Horn, with enormous wings and an imposing divine body; the Flame Emperor, exuding domineering power, clad in Calamity Armor and wielding the Flame God Halberd; the Prison King, with an aura of endless evil and two black flames burning in his head; and the Lord of the Underworld, clad in purplish-black armor and toying with a bronze bell in his hand.
In addition, there are the Zerg's Dream Lord, the Demon Race's Annihilation Lord, and the Mechanical Race's Violent Machine Lord.
As for the other universe lords on the outer periphery, such as the Lord of Yan Ya, the Lord of Echoes, and the Dark Night Evil Lord, they are all renowned in the universe.
The reason why so many powerful universe lords gathered here was because of a huge stone tablet standing in front of the temple gate, and two huge characters formed by secret runes at the top of the stone tablet.
Sword Tomb!
The inscription on the stone tablet, formed by the secret runes of laws, was easily understood by all powerful individuals. Its general content was: "The Sword Tomb contains thirty-six ordinary supreme treasure longswords, twelve high-grade supreme treasure longswords, three top-grade supreme treasure longswords, and the most precious of all, a peak supreme treasure longsword. Only after the temple is fully revealed and the stone tablet vanishes can the temple be opened."
This is the most precious treasure found since the Primordial Star was created hundreds of thousands of years ago. Generally speaking, top-tier treasures from the Primordial Star are created separately, let alone peak-level treasures. This time, a complete peak-level treasure is enough to trigger a massacre among universe masters, and it's normal for several universe masters to perish for it, not to mention that there are three top-tier treasures inside!
……
On a crater at the edge of a lava lake, Ye Muxuan stood, looking down at the lake below where crimson lava flowed.
A lava dragon, tens of thousands of kilometers in size, lay on the lake, lava flowing over its body and dripping down. Its huge eyes were fixed on the tiny creature in the distance, not blinking an eye.
This was the strongest life form Ye Muxuan had encountered in this lava lake besides the giant fire tree. He felt that the strength of this lava dragon was no less than that of the mountain giant he had encountered before.
Of course, the mountain giant's height of over 200,000 kilometers is incomparable to that of the magma dragon. If the two were to clash, he would still favor the mountain giant.
After glancing at the lava dragon, Ye Muxuan left the crater and stepped onto the desolate land on the other side.
……
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island, the Palace of the True King.
Inside the main hall, seated before King Zhenyan was a King clad in black armor, titled Black Gold King. His strength was at the peak of the King level, a powerful figure from the same era as King Zhenyan, though he had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years longer. More precisely, he rose to prominence at the same time as Cody.
Back then, when Coty rose to prominence, he suppressed all the geniuses of his generation, making everyone else pale in comparison. Even the Black Gold King was one of those who couldn't breathe.
"How about it? Want to go?" Black Gold King held a glass of wine, took a sip, and looked quite pleased.
After pondering for a long time, King Zhenyan slowly shook his head.
"Tsk." Black Gold King curled his lip. "The Strange Tree King obtained a crystallized wood heart there, which should be able to raise his life gene level to about 35 times. When his understanding of the laws catches up, I guess you won't be able to compete with him." During his time as a domain lord, the Strange Tree King possessed a special life form called "Divergent Tree," and was born with a gene level 30 times higher.
"Although my current life gene level is only three times, my understanding of the laws is only one step away from becoming a Venerable. If it still doesn't work by then, I will consider upgrading." True King Yan said. He had fused three Blood Crystals to increase his life gene level to three times, but his talent was far inferior to that of people like Ye Muxuan and Yehenwang, so he only received three free Blood Crystals.
"There's more than just this kind in the secret realm. Besides, the Crystallized Wood Heart is useless to you and me, but we can trade it with our clan for Blood Crystals to fuse with. If you can increase your power tenfold, you'll probably reach the invincible King level." Black Gold King put down his wine cup, looked at True Yan King, and said, "I know Long Yu has some things to attend to recently, so she won't be showing up. You, me, and Tong Nan King can go together. If you have any other good candidates, they can come along too. Anyway, there's not much limit to the number of people in the secret realm."
Upon hearing Black Gold King's words, several figures flashed through True Yan King's mind: Illusion King, Heavenly Feather King, and Ye Muxuan, among others. But in the end, he slowly shook his head and refused.
The extraterritorial battlefield incident is less than a century old, and that person is still imprisoned in the Ninth Star Prison. Even if the one behind him doesn't care about a few of them, there are still quite a few kings who would be willing to help, even if it's just to subtly express their intentions. He and King Tongnan are all in Chaos City, so no one can cause them any trouble. Although they've missed out on some missions and rewards, at least it's peaceful.
However, once I advance to the Venerable level, my clan will naturally receive more resources, and the Holy Lord will also help me secure them. At that time...
"Fine, if you don't want to go, then don't go. But if I get something good, don't be envious." After finishing the wine in his glass, Black Gold King disappeared.
……
In the secluded realm of Tanhai, a desolate place, howling winds whip up sand and stones. Ye Muxuan hides in a deep depression in a boulder hundreds of kilometers in size. Beneath the ground, Jiufeng is manipulating a dense array of robots, mining.
Hundreds of kilometers underground, the detector detected a mineral vein, D9 grade black-veined gold. The vein is widely distributed, and preliminary detection indicates that black-veined gold concentrate definitely exists, and there is even a certain probability that black-veined gold mother material exists.
A large, unexploited mineral vein is incredibly valuable, a considerable fortune even for those who hold the title of King. Therefore, Ye Muxuan directly ordered a large number of mining robots and related equipment from the virtual universe, and then had Suichen transport these machines and equipment here via the Divine Kingdom's teleportation system.
"Master, the mining of the Black-veined Gold vein has exceeded 1.5%, with a value of over 100 million Mixed Yuan Units. The presence of E9 grade Black-veined Gold Essence has been confirmed."
Faced with Jiu Feng's routine report, Ye Muxuan, who was in the recessed area of the boulder, closed his eyes to comprehend the laws and did not respond. If there were any matters he could not decide, Jiu Feng would naturally provide an urgent notification.
However, after more than three months of mining, only 1.5% of the deposit was extracted, yet it yielded 100 million Chaos Units. The total value of this vein is unimaginable. Not to mention the confirmed presence of E9-grade Black-Veined Gold Essence; for the same weight, the value difference between the two is tens of thousands of times.
Even though the F9-level Black-Veined Gold Mother is no longer of use to them, when placed in the Qingyuan Clan, these Black-Veined Gold and Black-Veined Gold Essence can be used to build spaceships and weapons of various levels, which would be very good for enhancing the clan's foundation.
As the clan leader, he also needed to consider cultivation resources for his clansmen. Most importantly, even Zhongli, a military lord immortal, was still somewhat lacking in access to cultivation resources of that level.
