Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 336 Amazing Wealth

In the virtual universe, halfway up Thunder Island.

Nine Swords Temple.

In the spacious hall, Yang Wu and the Nine Swords Venerable sat facing each other.

After conquering the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, which was at the Realm Lord level, Yang Wu originally planned to try his luck at the Tongtian Bridge.

Although the points earned by the Tongtian Bridge are far less than those earned by the corresponding original Tongtian Mountain, for Yang Wu, it's better than nothing.

However, just as Yang Wu was about to head to the Tongtian Bridge plane, he suddenly received a call request from his teacher, the Nine Swords Venerable, so he went directly to the Nine Swords Venerable's temple.

"Yang Wu!" The Nine Swords Venerable's eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and the shock on his face had not yet faded: "You have cultivated for less than a few hundred years, yet you have already conquered the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a realm lord level cultivator. Such talent is truly unheard of!"

Before Yang Wu ventured into the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, only the Dragon Lord, who constantly guided him, understood his strength.

As for the Nine Swords Venerable, he was unaware of Yang Wu's recent progress in strength, which is why the Nine Swords Venerable found it all the more incredible.

The scene of Yang Wu becoming a disciple is still vivid in his mind, but in the hundreds of years since, this disciple has brought him too many shocks.

Before leaving Chaos City, he had already passed through the ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven, becoming an extremely rare Black Warrior in the Blood Luo World. Within a few hundred years, he had successively conquered three Primal Heavenly Mountains at the Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, and World Lord Level...

These unbelievable events unfolded right before the Nine Swords Venerable's eyes.

"This time, I went to the battlefield outside the realm, and under the tempering of life and death, my progress has indeed accelerated considerably!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

Yang Wu naturally wouldn't tell anyone about the existence of the Time Simulator, so he could only push his progress through the trials of the extraterritorial battlefield.

Of course, although his progress during this period was somewhat incredible, others could barely accept it because of his previous performance.

"I know, the God-Slaying King!" the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile, "You've stirred up quite a storm on the Seventh Battlefield Beyond the Realm recently! However..."

Immediately, the Nine Swords Venerable's expression turned serious: "The greater your fame, the more powerful individuals you will attract in the future! Perhaps those top experts on the outer battlefields have already set their sights on you!"

"Although your strength is formidable, you are still only a Realm Lord, and your defensive capabilities are no match for a true King-level Immortal! If you attract the pursuit of powerful figures, even with your talent for creating clones, you might still perish!"

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu nodded earnestly.

He knew perfectly well that the Nine Swords Venerable had said these words entirely for his own good.

Moreover, after breaking through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, his wealth increased significantly, so he wouldn't be short of resources for a while.

Therefore, Yang Wu had already decided to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time, and after the next simulation, he would consider whether to continue accumulating resources.

Seeing that his disciple was still able to heed his advice, the Nine Swords Venerable felt much relieved.

What he feared most was that Yang Wu would become arrogant and complacent because of his incredible cultivation speed, and would not listen to his advice.

Fortunately, although Yang Wu possessed extraordinary talent, he also had an exceptional character.

"You've already passed through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a Realm Lord level being, are you planning to try your luck at the Heavenly Bridge?" Nine Swords Venerable asked.

"Hmm!" Yang Wu nodded and said, "This disciple was just about to head to the Tongtian Bridge dimension, but after receiving Master's call request, I immediately rushed over!"

"Let's go later!" the Nine Swords Venerable said calmly.

"What does the teacher mean?" Yang Wu asked, slightly puzzled.

"The news of your successful passage through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a realm master level event, has already been ordered to remain confidential by the head of my Virtual Universe Company!"

The Nine Swords Venerable explained, "Therefore, within our human race, the weakest among those who know that you have traversed the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a realm master level being, is a Universe Venerable. The news simply won't spread!"

"But if you were to attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge, your cultivation speed would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar among the human race!"

"Moreover, your terrifying cultivation speed is something I've never heard of before. If word got to the Zerg or other alien races, they would spare no effort to assassinate you!"

"Therefore, why not wait several thousand years before attempting to cross the Heavenly Bridge? That way, even if your talent remains astonishing, it won't cause as much of a stir as it has now!"

Yang Wu was slightly taken aback after hearing what the Nine Swords Venerable said.

He never expected that the Lord of Chaos City would issue a secret order for him.

However, considering his talent, this treatment is acceptable.

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

"Haha!" The Nine Swords Venerable laughed and said, "When you chose to fuse with the Star Pearl, I was planning to advise you to give up."

"But now that I think about it, if you hadn't fused with the Star Pearl, it would have been a waste of your talent!"

"Teacher, you flatter me!" Yang Wu said gratefully. "If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to obtain the technique of creating clones!"

The reminder from the Nine Swords Venerable was indeed very important; otherwise, he might never have thought of seeking the method of creating a clone from the Dragon Lord.

"I wasn't exaggerating!" The Nine Swords Venerable shook his head and said with a smile, "Once you've nurtured a clone suitable for yourself and broken through to immortality, your strength won't be much weaker than mine!"

The Nine Swords Venerable looked at Yang Wu expectantly.

Among the immortal gods of the human race today, the strongest is only at the level of True Evolution King, which is barely comparable to a Cosmic Venerable who has just broken through and does not have any powerful treasures to protect him.

However, once Yang Wu nurtures a special life clone with thousands of times more life genes and breaks through to immortality, its basic strength alone will be hundreds of times stronger than that of the True King with ten times more life genes. In addition, with the ultimate secret technique he created, his strength will be comparable to that of a mid-level universe venerable without any problem!

"I will certainly work hard and not disappoint you, Master!" Yang Wu said earnestly.

For him, the combat power of a mid-level universe venerable was far from enough.

It should be noted that Luo Feng's peak combat power at the Immortal stage was comparable to that of a top-tier overlord in the universe.

……

After bidding farewell to the Nine Swords Venerable, Yang Wu went directly to the temple of the Dragon Lord.

For Yang Wu, although 100 billion points is a lot of wealth, it is still far from enough to buy the treasures he wants.

The largest establishment in Hongmeng City, Yubaotang, is owned by the Lord of Dragons.

Therefore, Yang Wu naturally had to ask his teacher for a favor.

After learning of Yang Wu's purpose, the Lord of Dragons simply handed him a gold card, which would give him a 50% discount when shopping at Yu Bao Tang.

In truth, if any of Dragon Lord's other disciples had come to him about something similar, Dragon Lord wouldn't have been angry, but he certainly wouldn't have given away such a gold card.

But Yang Wu was somewhat different!

Firstly, Yang Wu possesses extraordinary talent and the potential to become a pillar of the human race in the future;

Secondly, and most importantly, Yang Wu is currently in a phase of rapid growth in strength, and the Dragon Lord is naturally willing to help him to enhance his ability to survive.

In any case, although the treasures in Yu Bao Tang are precious, they are insignificant to the Lord of the Universe!

……

And so, Yang Wu, carrying the gold card bestowed by the Lord of Dragons, once again arrived at the Yu Bao Hall in Hongmeng City.

Yang Wu certainly hadn't forgotten that his initial purpose in coming to the Hong Alliance was to sell his spoils of war for a high price.

If he sold the spoils he obtained from hunting down powerful alien races directly to the Virtual Universe Company, even if the staff in the acquisition department didn't dare to deliberately lower the price, they would only be worth 110 billion points.

According to the information collected by Chi Yan, even if Yang Wu purchased those spoils at the lowest discount in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury, it would still require a full 120 billion points.

Of course, even those who have reached the King level generally cannot enjoy the super low discounts that Yang Wu offers, so they will have to spend even more points.

However, after Yang Wu presented the gold card bestowed by the Lord of Dragons, he no longer needed to worry about these things.

The staff in charge of managing Yu Baotang easily solved the problem, directly selling Yang Wu's spoils for a high price of 180 billion.

Such a price is almost comparable to the normal selling price in various universes of humanity.

Yang Wu wasn't particularly curious about such a price, but after inquiring briefly, he learned...

Hongmeng City is home to countless clans, and even among the powerful clans, acquiring resources is quite difficult, let alone for ordinary and weak clans...

Therefore, in other groups, the price of some precious resources is far higher than that of human groups!

"180 billion mixed units!" Yang Wu thought to himself, "This channel is indeed incredibly important!"

This exorbitant price is even higher than the price Yang Wu paid for it in the Virtual Universe Company's treasure vault!

In other words, if Yang Wu exchanges treasures in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury and then sells them in Hongmeng City, he can make a fortune.

Unfortunately!

The Virtual Universe Company has long since issued a strict order prohibiting core members from selling any items exchanged in the treasure vault. Not only Yang Wu, but even those Universe Venerables do not have such authority!

Moreover, for geniuses like them, Virtual Universe Company is purely about nurturing talent and has no intention of making money. That's why there are so many discounts, and even the points they earn are internal rewards from within the company.

However, using this for speculation is absolutely forbidden!

……

After selling his spoils, Yang Wu came to a strange golden suit of armor that was about eight meters tall.

The blueprints next to this golden armor contain detailed information—

The original owner of the Golden Armor was a powerful expert at the pinnacle of the King realm within the Yan God Clan. It was captured by a Cosmic Venerable from the human race during a large-scale clan war in the outer battlefield.

However, this golden armor cannot change its size or be integrated into the body, but it can weaken soul attacks and physical attacks by more than 90%.

In addition, the detailed information also marked three fatal weaknesses of this Flame God Clan's golden armor.

The golden armor is completely solidified, making it difficult for martial arts experts to unleash its full power; the size of the golden armor is fixed, and its use requires the re-condensation of the divine body, which greatly affects strength; the face area on the helmet is exposed, making it impossible to weaken with soul attacks.

Of course, these fatal flaws are not a problem for Yang Wu at all, because his clone is a member of the Yan God Clan.

Although the Flame God Clan clone cannot summon fragments of armor, fusing with this complete royal armor should not be a problem.

"I'll buy this golden armor!"

After reading the introduction of the golden armor, Yang Wu spoke directly to a human woman with golden curly hair and a slender figure beside him.

The woman with golden curly hair had three star marks on her sleeve, indicating that she was a powerful expert at the peak of the King-level realm, King Canxin, who was also the deputy head of the Yubao Hall.

After Yang Wu presented the gold card bestowed by the Lord of Dragons, King Canxin had been serving Yang Wu ever since.

"Guest!" King Canxin said respectfully, "While this golden armor is indeed extraordinary, its flaws are also quite obvious. Perhaps you should reconsider?"

Although the guest before him was only a one-star expert, King Canxin was extremely respectful.

Because the gold card in the other party's hand was one that Yu Baotang had not issued many times over the countless years. Even ordinary cosmic venerables were not qualified to obtain it!

But now, such an incredibly precious gold card has appeared in the hands of a one-star powerhouse. How could she not be shocked?

"No need to think about it, I'll buy it!" Yang Wu said earnestly.

Seeing Yang Wu's resolute attitude, King Canxin stopped trying to persuade him and led him directly to a quiet room.

"This is the purchase agreement for the Flame God Clan's Golden Armor, which is supervised by the Virtual Universe System and will take effect immediately upon both parties signing it."

King Canxin smiled and said, "After you return the payment to Yubaotang, Yubaotang will deliver the goods directly to your designated location. If we fail to deliver, we will refund your money and provide ten times the compensation."

The Golden Armor was priced at 50 billion Chaos Units, but Yang Wu had a Golden Card bestowed by the Lord of Dragons, so he only spent 25 billion Chaos Units in the end.

After Yang Wu and King Canxin signed the agreement, Yang Wu directly entrusted the other party to deliver the golden armor to the No. 026 barracks base of the seventh battlefield outside the domain.

"I wonder if there's anything else the guest needs?" King Canxin continued with a smile.

The other party just received a huge sum of 180 billion Chaos Units, so King Canxin naturally hopes that the other party will buy more items.

As for whether selling at half price would result in a loss, that's not something King Canxin needs to consider.

For the holder of the golden armor, the price of the goods is no longer of any significance.

"I also need some treasures to help the perfectly nurtured metallic lifeform Kash break through to immortality!" Yang Wu pondered, "A plan that allows it to directly break through to the peak of the King-level realm!"

"Peak of the King-level?" King Canxin was slightly taken aback, finding it hard to believe.

She has cultivated for countless years, and now she has only nurtured a support plant life of the initial stage of the King-level!

Even if she were to sell everything she owned, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate a support metal life form at the peak of the King level.

However, thinking of the gold card in Yang Wu's hand, King Canxin felt a sense of relief.

Immediately, King Canxin waved his hand, and a phantom screen appeared in mid-air.

"Guest, these are the treasures needed for the Kashgar people's metal life breakthrough. We have them in stock at Yu Bao Tang, but most of them are on the second floor!"

Sorry, I've been busy with a lot of trivial matters these past few days, so the plot has been progressing very slowly. I'll try my best.
