Chapter 372, Another Transaction
The Supreme Meeting concluded, and the matter of the Qijing Stone was never mentioned; it was merely one of the tokens of a supreme treasure. However, as Luo Feng left, the Chaos True God mentioned, "You can discuss it with your teacher, the Shadow Blade Master."
Judging from his tone, Luo Feng didn't think he intended to take the Qijing Stone.
After the other universe lords departed, True Lord Mingwu returned to his divine kingdom to begin his breakthrough and to develop his divine kingdom into a miniature universe based on the framework of miniature universes. Lord Huangjian and Lord Qingdong, harboring resentment, also went into seclusion, entrusting matters within their respective forces to the other universe lords.
Therefore, within the Shadow Blade Temple, only the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos True God remain.
"Peng, why did you ask us to stay? What's going on over at the Cosmic Sea?" The founder of the Giant Axe spoke first.
"The Northern True Star Lord of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land has sent a message that the Eastern Emperor Ancestor is preparing to conduct a second transaction with us." True God Peng Gong stroked his snow-white beard and asked, "Should we still trade this inherited experience with them?"
The previous transaction was partly due to the fact that humanity's resources were indeed insufficient. Although compared to hundreds of thousands of epochs ago, humanity's treasury was already extremely rich, it was still impossible for every universe lord to possess a supreme treasure. Moreover, at this critical juncture of war, supreme treasures were indeed needed. Another reason was to appease the Eastern Emperor Holy Land, at least to prevent it from becoming an enemy.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, many of the captured cosmic lords were members of the Free Alliance. They also received information from the Lord of Light, and the Awakening True God of the Purple Moon Holy Land gave them a lot of inheritance, which is why they have been constantly putting pressure on humanity.
In order to save their lives, they informed humanity of this information. Unfortunately, humanity's strength grew too quickly, exceeding the expectations of the Purple Moon Holy Land and the Free Alliance.
Even so, the hostile forces of the human race subsequently received support from the Purple Moon Holy Land, which provided them with the cultivation inheritance to break through from the Lord of the Universe to the strongest in the universe, clearly intending to curb the development of humanity.
The creators of the giant axe, the Chaos God, and the others were unaware of the reason for the Purple Moon Holy Land's actions and found it all inexplicable, but Ye Muxuan knew.
However, the idea of possessing the original universe is too far removed from his current situation. He is still at the first level of the divine power path, and most importantly, he is still dealing with the world beast.
If this problem cannot be solved, everything will be in vain.
"The Eastern Emperor Ancestor's desire to continue the transaction indicates that he was quite satisfied with the previous Memory Stones; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to inquire," the Giant Axe Founder said, looking at Ye Muxuan. "Muxuan, are the three Memory Stones you prepared alright?"
They had all received the inheritance of Duan Donghe, but that only included the core elements and their respective choices of Yuan Embryo. They didn't know as much about the external inheritances they had collected as Ye Muxuan.
"Those three Memory Stones are only one level above the strongest beings in the universe. Even things of higher level are forbidden to be passed on outside the Duan Donghe inheritance, so I can't take them out either." Ye Muxuan nodded and said, "However, in this transaction, in addition to the five supreme treasures that have already been agreed upon, it would be best to also obtain some secrets of the cosmic sea and maps of the three forbidden lands."
The maps of the three major death zones are not very useful; they are mainly used as a preventative measure.
"Since you've agreed, then there's no problem. After the five supreme treasures are traded, put them in the clan's treasury and see who wants to exchange them," the Chaos God said, making the decision.
Among the current Universe Lords, only the newly promoted Soul Lord, Galaxy Lord, and Azure Shadow Palace Master possess slightly weaker treasures, though still far superior to what they had back then. Furthermore, Azure Shadow Palace Master and Galaxy Lord are disciples of Shadow Blade Lord; he doesn't believe that Mu Xuan, their teacher, would mistreat them.
As for the Lord of the Soul, the scene of Mu Xuan suppressing the Lord of the Soul, who was then the overlord of the universe, is still vivid in his mind. Whether it is the Giant Axe Founder or the Chaos True God, they are still somewhat wary of this Lord of the Soul.
While some of the Shadow Blade Lord's actions may seem illogical, he has performed admirably in various aspects since taking charge of the Virtual Universe Company. Although he doesn't appear to pursue "fairness" as much as he did during the era of the Chaos God, the human race's strength is steadily increasing. As long as he doesn't make any obvious mistakes in decision-making, Giant Axe and the others will continue to trust him.
A newly ascended universe lord won't affect the overall situation. With the Void Gold Lord intervening, it wouldn't be a problem to give him a top-tier treasure armor. However, in the foreseeable future, the Soul Lord will have to work hard to obtain the strongest treasure himself; the clan won't be allocating one to him for the time being.
"By the way, your disciple Luo Feng has a Qijing Stone. Although a top-grade treasure isn't worth holding a supreme meeting for, if his strength isn't enough, it would be best to give it to a stronger universe lord." Suddenly remembering something, the Chaos True God spoke up.
For tens of thousands of years, they have been busy clearing out their newly acquired territories. The human race and all the universe lords of the Hong Alliance are in the primordial universe. If needed, these universe lords can step forward.
"Okay, I'll mention it to Luo Feng," Ye Muxuan replied, not caring too much about the matter.
Nearly a thousand light-years away from Earth stands a majestic temple, surrounded by countless palaces that rise and fall in a well-organized manner. One can vaguely see powerful guards walking along the winding corridors that stretch for thousands of kilometers, maintaining a strict guard.
A Universe Lord is extremely important to a race. Now, with the appearance of each Universe Lord, the race will bestow upon them a treasure equivalent to the value of a top-tier treasure, as well as an identity, status, and authority commensurate with the Universe Lord.
Earth, the birthplace of Luo Feng, the Galactic Lord, was transformed and nurtured by the Virtual Universe Company led by Ye Muxuan more than 100,000 years ago, and is now the most advanced ecological planet for humanity. The Milky Way galaxy where Earth is located is the most heavily defended and top-tier star system of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, no less so than the Qianwu Star Region where the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler resides.
At this time, after the Supreme Council announced Luo Feng's appointment as the Galactic Lord, many Universe Venerables naturally prepared to curry favor with him. After all, there are fewer than thirty Universe Lords among the human race, but more than eight thousand Universe Venerables. Among them, only a hundred overlords can do without relying on a Universe Lord, while the rest of the Venerables find it extremely difficult to find a Universe Lord as a backer.
However, Luo Feng rose to power too quickly and had little contact with those cosmic venerables. Therefore, he ultimately chose the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, who had a good relationship with him and had taken his son Luo Hai as his disciple, as well as the Northern Ming Venerable and the Southern Li Kingdom, who had the best relationship with the Qianwu Kingdom ruler, as his direct venerables.
As for the immortals and realm lords who serve as guards, they are all arranged by the Virtual Universe Company. If Luo Feng is not satisfied, he can cultivate them himself. For example, the Genius Battle and the Strongest Battle are good ways to do so.
The grass was growing tall and the birds were singing; the weather was fine and the sun was shining. Luo Feng, who was walking down the street with Xu Xin, suddenly received an email from his teacher, the Master of Shadow Blades.
P.S.: Opening in early September. Wishing you all the best, academic success, and soaring careers!
