69novels Chapter 123, The Jade King
Chapter 123, The Jade King
Within the vast divine realm, above the Nine Nether Ocean, Ye Muxuan's main body, along with his four avatars—Chanjun, Qingsui, Liyan, and Qingyuzhu—appeared for the first time.
The Palace Master Bai Feng has already left. The newly formed divine kingdom is still in its nascent stage, and there's really nothing to see there.
Many precious treasures appeared around Ye Muxuan.
The top-tier soul-type treasure is Soul Radiance; the top-tier combat boots treasure is Windwalker; the common treasure is Flame Blade; the common sealing treasure is Snowfield; and the domain-type set treasure is Five Spirit Domain.
The weakest item here is the Flame Blade, a treasure configuration that only a normal cosmic overlord would possess!
However, even though Ye Muxuan's Nine Nether clones were stationed in the Divine Kingdom and didn't need to go out, he still had four main battle clones and one main body, so these treasures were completely insufficient.
The human race's high command included him as one of its members, granting him the right to attend the highest meetings. He had also received the news of the opening of the Primordial Star a million years ago, so he would definitely have to go to the Primordial Star next, at least to "pick up" some treasures.
On one hand, Li Yan's clone needed to devour powerful treasures to increase his gene multiplier; on the other hand, it was also a way to demonstrate his strength.
Building a palace on the mountainside of Thunder Island is easy; the Virtual Universe Company has the Chaos City Lord's permission, and no one can question it. However, whether it can be lived in stably is another matter.
Therefore, he needs to demonstrate strength commensurate with his status! And on the Primordial Star, most of the high-level cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords of the Primordial Universe are gathered, and even some cosmic lords. Although it is dangerous, it is the best stage to showcase his abilities.
But before that, he had two more things to do.
……
Virtual universe, Thunder Island, inside the palace.
"You mean, the Jade King is willing to come here?" Ye Muxuan looked at Yan Tong, somewhat surprised.
If he remembered correctly, Longyu King was under the Nine Swords Venerable and was the strongest king under the Nine Swords Venerable. Why would he think of coming to his side now?
Although the virtual universe treats Ye Muxuan with all the privileges and benefits of a mid-level Venerable, he still needs to win over the powerful individuals under his command, at most assigning some servants. However, the strongest servants are only some Realm Lords, who are not very useful to a Venerable, merely assisting him.
The only powerful person Ye Muxuan can currently command is a servant named Sui Chen, who is a high-level King-level cultivator, but he is currently in the Qingyuan Star Region as a silver kitten accompanying the youngest son, Le Yun.
The original plan was to gain complete control of the treasures he possessed after a while, then go to the outer battlefield to capture some kings and seize some more treasures. Unexpectedly, before anything even started, King Longyu revealed through Yan Tong that he wanted to pledge allegiance to him.
This voluntary defection is not the same as his recruitment. The latter allows for departure and amicable separation, and it's even more different from the servants arranged by the virtual universe, who are merely assigned by superiors and can leave when their time is up. Since she voluntarily came to defect, she bears his mark; Ye Muxuan is her direct subordinate, making it difficult for her to switch allegiances later.
However, although Longyu King may not have much potential to become a Venerable in the future, he can still reach the peak of the King-Sealing Realm, which is the ultimate goal for countless powerful individuals.
"She said it herself." Yan Tong looked at Ye Muxuan and said, "I've learned some things. Longyu's teacher is also a king, but she doesn't have any powerful backing. She thinks highly of you, so she wants to come here."
Ye Muxuan nodded.
This means they've placed their bets on him in advance.
It's not surprising, though. His progress is too rapid. In just ten thousand years, he's already comparable to a Venerable, while he's only cultivated for a few hundred thousand years—not even a fraction of her time. His future achievements are unimaginable. Even if he doesn't take the final step, once he becomes a Venerable, his strength will absolutely rival that of Palace Master Bai Feng! At that point, her status as a mere beginner-level King won't be enough to tempt him.
Even among Venerable Jingfeng, the disciple of Palace Master Baifeng, those who wish to pledge allegiance to him must be at least at the peak of the King-level!
"If she wants to come, that's fine. I won't mistreat her. However, I have some unfinished business and need to go into seclusion for a while. Maybe in a few hundred years, I'll go see her and talk to her about what she really thinks." After thinking it over, Ye Muxuan postponed the time.
"So I told her?" A smile flashed in Yan Tong's clear and bright eyes.
In Chaos City, King Longyu took good care of them and they got along very well. She and Qingque liked King Longyu's presence, but in the end, their husband Ye Muxuan had to make the final decision.
"Okay, you go and talk to her." Ye Muxuan reached out and gently pinched her cheek, leaving a blush.
Even though she's already a mother of two, Yan Tong is still the same girl she was when they first met. Her eyebrows are curved, her eyes are bright and clear, and her face still has a bit of baby fat, which makes Ye Muxuan sometimes like to pinch her cheeks.
In contrast, Qingque appears more aloof, but once she makes a decision, Yantong usually follows it.
……
Within the Divine Realm, the celestial beast entered the World Ring. Ye Muxuan stood up, his Soul Radiance merging into his body. He held a Flame Blade in his hand, wore the Windwalker's Robe, and held the Snowfield in his left palm.
Leaving the divine kingdom, Mo Yun Teng activated the divine kingdom teleportation, directly entering the extraterritorial battlefield, the Luo Yin Continent.
He was not registered in the military system and was not protected by any faction. Even alien races that entered the extraterrestrial battlefield as human beings could attack him if they wanted to.
Of course, he welcomed it.
……
On the continent of Luoyin, there are not many kings. Ye Muxuan only encountered a few when he traveled across the continent at near the speed of light in his spaceship, but none of them had any great treasures.
For a King-level cultivator, a treasure is practically a great opportunity. Even a peak-level King-level cultivator would hide it well, afraid to reveal it. Only those King-level cultivators with formidable combat power at the limit would openly possess such treasures, such as King Zhenyan and King Wutang.
After wandering around the Luoyin Continent for a few years, Ye Muxuan casually killed two alien kings and captured one using the Snow Domain, a treasure for suppressing evil spirits. After that, Ye Muxuan turned around and went to the Star Tower.
As one of the highest-level combat zones in the Seventh Battlefield, the number and quality of the various races' kings active in the Star Tower are far superior to those in the Luoyin Continent.
Ye Muxuan, clad in black armor, stood in the spaceship's control room, gazing at the enormous star tower in the distance that obscured half the starry sky.
The Star Tower, with a height of nine light-years, is recognized as one of the most powerful treasures in the universe, and it is also the most powerful treasure that these powerful beings can most easily see.
However, apart from Zuo Shan Ke, only Ye Mu Xuan knows that this is a God-King level main weapon, and that it involves a reincarnated God-King.
Even the God-King couldn't control it! The waters behind this are too deep!
The Nine-Story Star Tower naturally absorbs the energy of the universe to create a nine-spiral nebula. The fourth spiral requires a Venerable to enter in order to survive, and even if a Venerable enters the seventh spiral, he will die!
……
P.S.: As I was writing this, I suddenly remembered that the cheat code for "Entering Immortality" hasn't been updated yet... I'm considering whether to add it directly to the "Entering Immortality" chapter or find a way to patch it later.
