Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 541 Guest Elder of the Ancient Kingdom of Yanfeng

"No wonder this deity dared to seek the inheritance of a god-king; he's truly not short of money!"

The waiter took a deep breath. Although he had been working at the Yanfeng Club for many years, this was only a branch club. The guests he usually served were mostly Eternal True Gods, and the business they discussed was only in the millions.

Chen Yuan suddenly produced resources worth billions, which really startled him.

Fortunately, his years of professional experience calmed him down, and the waiter quickly calculated the value of this batch of Nine-Bend Crystal.

"A total of 53 billion cosmic sands!"

"After deducting 3 million as a reward deposit, there is exactly 50 billion left."

The waiter's tone involuntarily carried a hint of respect. In any case, a guest who could produce such wealth was someone even an Eternal God was not someone he could afford to offend.

Chen Yuan nodded, thinking to himself that as expected of the Origin Continent, its wealth far surpassed that of the Cosmic Sea.

He painstakingly acquired energy worth 1 billion cosmic sands over tens of thousands of years, but once he arrived on the Origin Continent, he easily made over 4 billion.

Most importantly, if Chen Yuan is willing to take some risks, this 5 billion yuan principal can be resold again and multiplied sevenfold, becoming a full 30 billion yuan!

Of course, selling so many resources at once would also bring him a lot of trouble, since this amount of money was enough to make many Chaos Great Sages envious.

When Chen Yuan first arrived in the Origin Continent, he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble. In any case, he had 5 billion, which was enough for the time being.

It's not too late to convert and sell the materials when we really need a lot of funds, but by then it might not be Jiuqu Huajing anymore.

"That's fine then." Chen Yuan nodded.

A moment later, the attendant brought over a large amount of cosmic sand. After Chen Yuan finished counting it, he collected the cosmic sand and then converted it back into the reserves of the Great Dao Source.

50 trillion!

"Speaking of which, it seems that the energy unit of the Source of the Great Dao is not enough again."

After leaving Yanfeng Club, this thought suddenly flashed through Chen Yuan's mind.

Now that he has arrived at the Origin Continent, it is foreseeable that the wealth he possesses will expand rapidly, and hundreds of billions or even trillions of cosmic sands are not a dream.

Such a huge number, when converted into the source of the Great Dao, how much would it expand to? It would be impossible to calculate at that point.

"Should we add a new unit? For example, one that directly corresponds to cosmic sand?"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment, then secretly shook his head.

Because he suddenly realized that above the cosmic sands, there was a currency called "Hunyuan Crystal," which was basically the highest value of currency in the endless Hunyuan space.

Given the rate at which his wealth is expanding, if his energy reserves were compared to cosmic sand, this new unit would likely soon reach astronomical figures as well.

It's better to do it all at once.

"I remember that a single Hunyuan Crystal was priced at one million merits in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, and one point of merit, if converted into cosmic sand, would be equivalent to three hundred thousand."

Chen Yuan blinked: "In other words, one Chaos Origin Crystal should be equivalent to three hundred billion cosmic sands!"

However, the actual ratio between the two may not be so.

For the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, the Cosmic Sand is basically useless, and its value is far less than that of their internal contributions. Therefore, the exchange function between the two has not been opened.

Therefore, there is only one way for the Cosmic Sand to gain credit for the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom: by purchasing rare and exotic treasures and then exchanging those treasures for credit.

The two ancient kingdoms looked down on the cosmic sand, but they still had a need for some precious treasures.

However, this would inevitably lead to a significant premium, and the true ratio between cosmic sand and merit might not be so when calculated purely from an energy perspective.

In other words, even if Chen Yuan wanted to anchor the new energy unit to the "Hunyuan Crystal", the final result would be inaccurate due to this premium issue.

To achieve precise anchoring, he would need to obtain a genuine Hunyuan Crystal.

"That's enough."

Chen Yuan shook his head secretly. "Let's use it like this for now. It's not too late to decide on a new unit after I understand the true value of Hunyuan Crystal in the future."

Whether or not he works for a particular organization is not important to him, since his reserves will not change because of a change in his organization.

What's most important to him now is how to obtain the inheritance of the God King.

"We probably can't count on the Yanfeng Guild Hall anytime soon."

Chen Yuan felt somewhat helpless. After understanding the situation just now, he had figured out his own needs. It was truly a case of "the difficult for the easy for the easy to understand."

As long as Chen Yuan can join the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom as a guest elder, he can easily obtain any inheritance, because he can create treasures to exchange for merits.

But the prerequisite is having the status of a guest advisor!

Otherwise, like the bounties he had seen, it would either involve taking a huge risk or spending a lot of time.

Still guarding a ten-thousand-year-old territory? In that time, he could probably have become the Lord of Hunyuan.

After all, even Luo Feng, who broke through the laws of brute force to obtain the position of lord, only took this long.

Leaving aside distant examples, it only took the original ancestor a mere eight hundred epochs to cultivate into a god-king.

"Time on the Origin Continent is too precious."

Chen Yuan said with some helplessness, "One second here is equivalent to 10081 seconds in the primordial universe. One day here is equivalent to one era in the primordial universe."

"I don't have that much time to waste."

He has only cultivated for about 60,000 years, which is equivalent to six days in the Origin Continent.

And one cycle here is a full one billion days!

How could Chen Yuan bear to waste so much time just to obtain a God King's inheritance? The cost-effectiveness is too low.

"After the Yanfeng Guild Hall incident, I finally understand just how valuable the two God King inheritances that Di Yulu gave me are."

"Even if he is the ruler of chaos, it probably took him a lot of effort—wait?"

He suddenly paused, startled.

"If I remember correctly, Di Yuluo promised to buy me a set of life-saving techniques, and it only took her less than two days?"

To be precise, it only took a day and a half.

"No—if Di Yuluo were just an ordinary Chaos Great Sage, he might not have been able to obtain the secret technique so quickly. The other party must have a separate channel!"

"By the way, Di Yuluo is the controller of the primordial universe, not an ordinary Chaos Great Sage. Perhaps he has already joined the two ancient kingdoms and obtained the status of guest elder, otherwise he could not have bought the secret technique so quickly."

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan was immediately tempted: "For me, obtaining a God King's inheritance is as difficult as ascending to heaven, but it may not be so for Di Yuluo."

"He has the channels to acquire them, and I'm not short of money. Isn't this a great way to become a purchasing agent?"

"If the money is enough, Di Yuluo should be willing."

In order to obtain the inheritance, Chen Yuan disregarded everything else and immediately arranged for an avatar to be teleported directly to Di Yulu's universe.

He did not conceal his aura, so he was quickly detected by Di Yuluo, who was in control.

"The beginning of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Di Yulu's avatar appeared directly, asking in confusion, "You seem a little anxious? What happened?"

"It's nothing serious."

Since he needed Chen Yuan's help, a smile appeared on his face: "Actually, I just passed through the cycle of reincarnation and arrived at the Origin Continent, where I encountered some problems—"

He recounted his experience at the Yanfeng Guild Hall, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "It was precisely because I discovered how rare the inheritance was that I remembered the two secret techniques you gave me back then, and I guessed that you must have some kind of channel to obtain them."

Seemingly noticing that Di Yulu's expression was off, he quickly said, "Don't worry, you don't need to pay this time. I inherited some of the resources of a God-King level sect, so I have plenty of resources and wealth. It should be more than enough to buy some secret techniques."

However, what Di Yu was concerned about was not Chen Yuan's wealth, but that the other party had actually entered the cycle of reincarnation!

"So fast—when we last met, you had only recently broken through to the True God realm, right?"

Di Yulu murmured, "To join the Dark Palace of the Flamewind Guild without any review, you must at least be an Eternal True God—and you've already reached that level in just one day?"

"After all, my understanding of the laws is already sufficient, and the source of the laws is no longer a problem."

Chen Yuan shook his head: "If my understanding of the laws of chaos were not still somewhat lacking, I could have even ascended to the heavens in one step and directly become the ruler of chaos."

After years of hard work, his research on the fusion of laws has reached the level of "fusion of seven laws", and he is still two steps away from the final "fusion of ten laws".

Now, his clone has moved to the vicinity of the Chaos Ruins, where the clarity of the laws of chaos is extremely high, which has greatly improved his subsequent research.

Chen Yuan estimated that within ten eras at most, he was confident he could break through to the point of "Nine Laws Fusion," as for the ultimate Chaos Law—

It's not easy, but with the blessing of the Chaos Ruins, he's confident he can break through the bottleneck within a thousand epochs.

By then, he will have cultivated his secret techniques to the peak of the Chaos Realm. Once he breaks through, he will at least become a peak Chaos Realm expert, and he may even have a certain chance of directly entering the Transcendent Realm.

All of this depends on how many secret techniques he can master over the years.

Di Yulu remained silent for a long time. He recalled Chen Yuan's comprehension of the power of the Great Dao, which was comparable to that of the Chaos Ruler.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like a big deal that the other party broke through to become an Eternal True God.

Well, actually he was just surprised by how short the time was; he didn't doubt whether Chen Yuan could break through.

"With your talent, it seems you really can break through."

Di Yulu shook her head, a smile appearing on her face: "Very good. Where in the Origin Continent have you arrived? Do you need to come here? I can introduce you to some connections."

"I am in the Chaos State of Tianshui in the Lingyue Kingdom."

Since it was just a clone, Chen Yuan didn't hide his location, saying, "I'm in Xuling City."

"Lingyue Kingdom—the territory of the guest elders of the Diqing lineage?"

Di Yulu was somewhat surprised: "That's quite a coincidence, I'm not far from where you are."

"Not far away?" Chen Yuan asked doubtfully. "Could you be in the Ancient Kingdom of Yanfeng?"

"That's right."

Di Yulu nodded, then smiled: "Weren't you curious about where I bought the secret technique?"

"Now that things have come to this, I no longer need to hide it from you. In fact, I am also a guest elder of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, but I am not from the Diqing lineage."

He shook his head. "That lineage is extremely prosperous, arguably the strongest in Yanfeng, but it rarely recruits outside retainers. Not everyone has the good fortune of the Lingyue God King."

"I see." Chen Yuan suddenly realized, "You are actually a guest elder of the Yanfeng lineage. No wonder you were able to easily buy the God King's inheritance."

""

"Which lineage are you from?" he asked curiously.

Di Yulu smiled faintly, a hint of pride on her face: "I am from the ruling faction, and I was personally recommended by the Yan Feng regime itself."

"Yanfeng in power—" Chen Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be the Emperor's consort's lineage?"

Di Yulu nodded and smiled, "Your talent is quite good, even surpassing mine. Would you like me to introduce you?"

"Although it is difficult for an Eternal True God to become a guest minister, he can still join the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and receive extraordinary treatment."

"If you can attract the attention of the ruling authorities—even before a breakthrough is achieved, you can enjoy the treatment of a guest minister in advance."
