Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 422 Compensation and Punishment

Bai Yang directly connected to the virtual universe and headed to the palace of the Dragon Lord.

It is still that vast hall filled with many majestic stone pillars, but today the master of Longxing is not here.

Only Venerable Xuechen sat alone in a chair, leisurely reading a report.

Upon seeing Bai Yang approach, he immediately stood up and greeted him, "Young Master."

Bai Yang smiled and said, "Venerable Xuechen."

Without wasting any words, Venerable Xuechen said with a beaming smile, "Congratulations, Young Master!"

The founder of Giant Axe has made a firm decision this time, and the compensation he's offering is truly substantial.

Bai Yang didn't care about that and asked first, "Where are those people?"

Venerable Xuechen laughed and said, "Everyone is sentenced to 500,000 epochs in the Eighteenth Star Domain Prison."

This is the highest level of punishment in the community besides the death penalty.

and……"

Bai Yang hurriedly asked, "And what?"

Venerable Xuechen stroked his beard and suddenly smiled slyly:

"And when it starts is up to us."

Can we only begin after I'm handed over to the prison?

Once we get there, we'll be too far away to see how they're treated.

Bai Yang nodded in agreement.

In the original story, the Nightmare Candle King was granted the privilege of entering the virtual universe.

The three cosmic venerables might even receive preferential treatment; he can't possibly keep an eye on them forever.

If that were the case, it would be too easy on them!

Venerable Xuechen continued, "So this time, Mr. Gegotero volunteered himself."

He said he knew a few old friends and could ask them to come over and "help take a look."

I thought it was a good idea, so I agreed.

It was disgusting, but these past few days have really opened my eyes!

The prisoners all behaved very well, voluntarily offering various valuables in exchange for a speedy transfer to the Eighteenth Star Region prison.

When Bai Yang heard Venerable Xuechen emphasize the word "proactive," he could fully imagine what these people had gone through, and he couldn't help but laugh.

These "friends" are clearly all experts in skinning and dismembering, making them a perfect match for an immortal being who is truly unkillable!

Especially someone like the Immortal Venerable, who is known as immortal.

They must be exceptionally resilient; both sides will meet a formidable opponent, and the competition will undoubtedly be intense and exciting.

"Prince Georgello's friends, what brilliant tactics!"

Venerable Xuechen smiled and handed him a list, which was their "voluntary apology".

Bai Yang took a look and saw that the Ghostly Venerable was already heavily in debt and couldn't be squeezed out of anything.

Therefore, he could only reveal all the secret techniques he knew to make up the numbers, and Bai Yang had no interest in watching any further.

As for the two Venerables, Undying and Fiery, they are the best among the Venerables of the universe, so their compensation is quite considerable.

The poorest of the universe's lords has a net worth of roughly several hundred billion Chaos Units.

In the human race, one Treasure Point is roughly equivalent to 10 trillion Chaos Units, and both of them possess supreme treasures!

1 Treasure Point can now be exchanged for 3220 Heavy Treasure Points!

For example, the reason why the Immortal Venerable is known as immortal is undoubtedly due to the supreme treasure armor he wears.

This battle armor seemed to be covered with tens of thousands of dense vines, with countless vines encircling its body like silk.

The same goes for Venerable Fire Erosion; the black flames on his body are actually the result of a combination of secret techniques and a supreme domain treasure.

However, their two treasures are no match for the [Imitation Starry Night], and bringing them out would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Now, in order to give himself a good time, he has brought out all his most precious and fundamental treasures!

Venerable Xuechen said, "The [Ten Thousand Vine Armor] is considered a high-grade defensive treasure, while the [Black Nether Flame] is an ordinary offensive treasure."

The quality and power are both quite good, but the features are quite obvious, making it easy for people to recognize.

"We can only activate them after you, young master, advance to the Immortal realm."

Bai Yang was very satisfied with what he saw; he didn't care whether he could use it or not.

He would only be happy if he could make those two guys feel heartbroken and full of regret.

"Then what about the one on the Nightmare Candle King's forehead?"

"That thing? It's called [Purple Blossom], and it's considered a top-tier offensive treasure."

I grouped it with the other dozen or so Immortal Compensation units; it's not anything particularly powerful.

This is the manager of Yu Bao Tang!

Bai Yang secretly marveled at Venerable Xue Chen's high standards.

In this way, almost all of these people's wealth was drained by Venerable Xuechen.

Bai Yang was also very satisfied, as it would be much easier for him to seek revenge years later.

He took another order from the other side; this was the compensation for the giant axe.

Bai Yang couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the number at the top:

"100 Treasure Points!?"

Simple! Brutal!

It's just that simple and unpretentious!

Venerable Xuechen also sighed, "Yes!"

This price can buy a common Arcana item of the Flying Palace, Soul, or Domain categories!

As far as I know, no one below the Immortal level has ever received such wealth!

Bai Yang was genuinely surprised, considering that the domain-type treasure [Nine Flying River] that Luo Feng later exchanged for only cost 16 treasure points!

The founder of the giant axe personally paid the compensation; even if he is the strongest being in the universe, such an amount must have taken a great deal of determination.

The second item on the list was none other than the flesh and blood of the Wood Void Innate Beast God that Bai Yang had been searching for for a long time!

He probably asked the Lord of Dragons and then used his personal connections to get it for Bai Yang.

Compared to the first compensation, this one took even more effort and human resources to prepare!

The third item on the list is not a physical item.

From that moment on, Bai Yang gained virtual universe privileges at the level of a cosmic overlord!

He can freely view any secret techniques and technological information of the human race without having to spend any so-called points.

However, following this line were several lines of illegible, flamboyant handwriting.

It appears to have been written by the Giant Axe himself, warning Bai Yang against being greedy for more secret techniques.

Furthermore, one should not cultivate too much, otherwise it will be harmful rather than beneficial to oneself.

Bai Yang was excited after this incident.

He had originally planned to spend some time increasing the amplitude of his mental power in order to cultivate the next stage of the "Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique".

Moreover, since he needs to cultivate all the laws, he naturally needs to read books on other laws, such as "Notes on Time and Space" and "Notes on Dragon Travel".

A complete set of research support books requires 1000 billion points!

To watch all of them would require an astonishing amount of points.

This is so much more convenient!

In addition, the human race promised him a soul-defense treasure, which meant he really didn't need much money.

Venerable Xuechen sighed:

"I'm afraid only the Demon Clan's Lord Changjiu was ever cultivated in this way by a certain clan."

The founders of the Giant Axe truly have high hopes for you, young master.

Bai Yang laughed and said, "The entire Demon Alliance's powerful members are constantly in a chaotic rescue operation in the cosmic sea because of it."

I would never do such a thing.

Including now, Xingyang Group has opened up the sale of Ancient Dragon Vine bodies, various high-quality potions, and robots to all human races.

However, sales are prohibited to all senior members of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance!

This infuriated the Lord of the Wilderness, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.

Bai Yang has been living a very comfortable life lately, and the inheritance of the divine general is about to enter its final stage.

I've revised the previous chapter; it wasn't a year-long break.
