Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 290 The Nine Swords Venerable's Advice
virtual universe.

Luo Feng, with a serious expression, appeared before me.

"Grandpa Ming, something terrible has happened!"

Luo Feng's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice:
"Just now, the great human being, the Undying Venerable, contacted me through my master, the True Evolution King, requesting to buy Earth, but I refused!"

He offered to buy an entire island on Earth!

Luo Feng frowned deeply and said:
"According to Master Zhenyan Wang, the Undying Venerable is a great being on par with the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, almost a master of the universe. He has a strange temper and is unpredictable!"

"I've already rejected him once. If I reject him again, I'll most likely anger him, so...!"

Shaking his head, Luo Feng said:

"I sold a deserted island in the Atlantic Ocean to the Undying Venerable, and he gave me 100 billion Chaos Units!"

"Grandpa Ming...!"

Luo Feng looked at Ming Hai with shock in his eyes and said:

"How can a mere small island be worth 100 billion Chaos Units? That much money could buy hundreds of medium-sized civilized countries!"

"Moreover, before he left, the Immortal Venerable told me to find you, saying that I couldn't protect Earth on my own!"

"Grandpa Ming, what does the Undying Venerable mean? Why did he say I can't protect Earth? Is there some powerful being who has taken a liking to Earth?"

After listening to Luo Feng's description, Ming Hai pondered for a moment and understood.

Just like in the original timeline, the Undying Venerable pressured Luo Feng to sell Earth, but failed, and then changed his mind and only bought a small island.

The difference is that the price offered is more than ten thousand times higher than in the original timeline.

The reason for offering such a high price is undoubtedly because of Minghai's influence.

"Ok?"

Just as Minghai was about to speak, he received another video request. Looking up, he saw that it was none other than the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Luo Feng, Master Nine Swords Venerable is looking for me. Please wait a moment!"

He told Luo Feng to temporarily sever the connection, and then the Nether Sea reconnected with the Nine Swords Venerable.

A three-dimensional projection of the Nine Swords Venerable, dressed in a cyan battle robe, appeared before me.

"Disciple, your Earth lineage is in trouble!"

Upon meeting, the Nine Swords Venerable went straight to the point.

"Master, what's the trouble?"

Minghai pretended not to know and asked in 'surprise'.

So, the Nine Swords Venerable sent his giant axe to Earth to perform a time-space reversal, and ultimately discovered that life born on Earth possessed special soul talents.

This incident caused a huge uproar among the human race's elite, and all the powerful figures who owned families turned their attention to it.

In particular, many cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords under the command of the Lord of False Gold, from the Giant Axe Arena lineage, have developed a strong interest in Earth.

The Immortal Venerable is just one of them.

"Disciple understands, thank you for the reminder, Master!"

After hearing the Nine Swords Venerable's description, Minghai thanked him gratefully.

"Disciple, what do you plan to do?"

Looking at the Nether Sea, the Nine Swords Venerable said:
"You already possess strength that is nearly invincible at the King level, so money is of little use to you. However, if you are willing to sell Earth, you can still obtain a high-level treasure!"

"How can you sell your home planet?"

Ming Hai shook his head and said:
"If someone wants offspring with special soul talents, they can simply pay to rent a temporary residence on Earth to breed their offspring. Buying them is impossible; Earth can only belong to Earthlings!"

Given his indifferent nature, he didn't actually care about the ownership of Earth.

If it weren't for the fact that he had descendants of the Ming family living on Earth, he wouldn't care who owned the Earth. He might even have asked for a high-level treasure and handed over ownership of the Earth.

The bloodline descendants left behind before 'transforming into a sea of ​​blood' are the only warm place in the increasingly cold and ruthless heart of the Underworld Sea.

This warmth, though small in size, is a billion times more precious to the Underworld Sea than any treasure.

Preserving ownership of Earth and ensuring that the descendants of the Underworld can continue to thrive on it is what the Underworld Sea truly cares about.

But we can't say it like that, and we can't reveal our true thoughts either.

Therefore, Minghai chose to align with Luo Feng's position, refusing to sell Earth on the grounds that their home planet was not open to trade. "That's probably going to be troublesome!"

Seeing Minghai say this, the Nine Swords Venerable frowned and said:

"I've heard that this matter has attracted the attention of the five major powers' universe masters. The great universe masters may personally intervene and designate Earth as a strategic resource planet for the entire human race!"

“Disciple, no matter how talented you are, you are only a realm lord now. You are a genius, not a strong one. You have no say in front of the universe lord!”

After a pause, the Nine Swords Venerable continued:
“Disciple, if you are determined not to sell Earth, I’m afraid the only option is to ask the Lord of Ice Peak to intervene!”

"Master!"

Looking at the Nine Swords Venerable, Minghai slowly asked:

"What kind of strength is required to be called a strong person and have a voice before the Lord of the Universe?"

"this……!"

The Nine Swords Venerable hesitated for a moment, then finally said:
"At the very least, one must be a Cosmic Venerable, and even then, a High-level Cosmic Venerable, to be qualified to speak a few words before the Great Cosmic Lord. Even then, one cannot be said to have the right to speak!"
"Unless you are a top-tier cosmic overlord, no matter how monstrous your talent, you have no right to bargain in front of a great cosmic master!"

"Disciple understands!"

Minghai nodded and continued to ask:

"What if a realm lord possesses the strength of a high-level universe venerable? Would he be qualified to bargain with a universe lord?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Nine Swords Venerable fell silent, his eyes darting incredulously over Minghai.

Minghai remained silent, simply looking at the Nine Swords Venerable, waiting for his reply.

"this……!"

After a long pause, the Nine Swords Venerable revealed a wry smile and said:

"Disciple, you're not going to tell me you already possess the strength of a High-Level Universe Venerable, are you? Your master is merely a High-Level Universe Venerable!"

"What if this disciple truly possesses such power? Could he negotiate with the Lord of the Universe?"

Minghai shook his head and continued to ask.

“This…, okay!”

The Nine Swords Venerable's eyes gleamed with a strange light as he stared at the Nether Sea and said:

"Disciple, you have already passed the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven, your understanding of the laws has reached the limit of immortality, and you also possess a special life form with perfect genes. For you, advancing to immortality will be a piece of cake!"

"If you can possess the strength of a high-level universe venerable during your realm lord period, then after advancing to immortality, you will possess the strength of a universe overlord!"

"In the future, he will become a supreme being of the universe, a top-tier cosmic overlord comparable to the Lord of the Universe!"

"but……!"

Changing the subject, the Nine Swords Venerable continued:
"The difficulty of advancing from an Immortal to a Universe Venerable is countless times greater than that of an Immortal advancing from a World Lord. Even you cannot guarantee that you will be able to advance to a Universe Venerable and become an unparalleled top-tier Universe Overlord!"

"unless……!"

Staring at the Nether Sea, the Nine Swords Venerable said meaningfully:

"Unless you can, like Hong, break through the 21 layers of the Illusionary Sea and demonstrate the will of a Cosmic Venerable, no one will believe that you will definitely be able to advance to the level of a Cosmic Venerable and become a top Cosmic Overlord in the future!"

“Disciple, although you once conquered the eighteenth level of the Illusionary Sea when you were at the Universe level, it doesn’t mean you can conquer the twenty-first level when you are at the Realm Lord level!”

Ultimately, you're too young, your experience is limited, and you haven't been tempered enough!

"Understood!"

Minghai nodded and said:

"In other words, even if I now possess the strength of a high-level universe venerable, it is not enough to communicate with the master of the universe unless I can pass through the 21st level of the Illusion Sea and demonstrate the will of a universe venerable. In that case, I will definitely become a top universe overlord in the future?"

"That's right!"

The Nine Swords Venerable nodded and said with certainty.

After a pause, the Nine Swords Venerable suggested:

"Disciple, you should ask the Lord of Ice Peak to intervene. With the Lord of Ice Peak's protection, perhaps we can preserve ownership of Earth!"
