“I wish to offer the River-Sword Luo Divine Sword to our clan,” Luo Feng said respectfully.
Chaos City Lord nodded with a smile, “Very well. You should head to Chaos City and offer the treasure there. There is a designated location within Chaos City where all treasures are inspected and evaluated by the Virtual Universe System to determine their value and grant contribution points.”
“The Virtual Universe System?” Luo Feng was momentarily surprised.
“In terms of assessing value, nothing surpasses the Virtual Universe System,” Chaos City Lord replied with a chuckle. “Moreover, having the Virtual Universe System evaluate ensures absolute fairness, as it is a perfectly executing intelligent system. There’s no need to worry about personal emotions or selfish interests influencing the process. All powerful beings fully trust it.”
Luo Feng nodded, “Understood. I will head to Chaos City immediately.”
“Go then.”
…
On the same day, Luo Feng arrived at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company and then boarded a spaceship that traveled through a ‘cosmic passage’ to Chaos City.
Inside the spaceship.
“Ah~~”
“What discomfort.”
“The time flow is chaotic; it’s really unpleasant,” some passengers muttered silently.
Luo Feng sat in a quiet, secluded chamber at the very rear of the ship. Hearing those murmurs, he couldn’t help but smile. When he first traveled to Chaos City, he too had felt extremely uncomfortable under the varying time flows. After all, the original universe and the Primeval Universe were different universes, and the cosmic passage connecting them was even more chaotic in time flow. Back then, many of his group of geniuses had even collapsed to the ground.
“Almost a hundred thousand years have passed,” Luo Feng mused inwardly.
Back then, he had been inexperienced. He couldn’t even pass the first level of the Heaven-Touching Bridge, and among that group of geniuses, the most outstanding was Bolan.
In the blink of an eye…
He had traversed the Blood-Net World, ventured through the Demon-Sound Mountains, served as an inspector for the Virtual Universe Company’s Qianwu Branch, wandered battlefields for millennia, endured arduous cultivation in the Ice Prison, acted with boldness within the Ancestral God Sect, explored the Nine Netherworlds… delved into the ultimate martial arts, and roamed the cosmos for fifty thousand years. After such a long and grueling journey, he had finally attained immortality!
For nearly a hundred thousand years, he had long ceased to regard once-formidable beings like Venerable Chi Huo as serious opponents. Even cosmic overlords—such as the Qi Xue Palace Lord, Venerable Bei Feng, and Venerable Tian Yang—he had battled them all.
“Almost a hundred thousand years… the Genius Battles must have been held many times by now.”
“There are two every ten thousand years,” Luo Feng murmured quietly. “I’ve just never paid attention.”
“Master Luo Feng, we have arrived at Chaos City,” the ship’s captain personally transmitted respectfully.
“Understood.”
Luo Feng returned from his reverie, glanced at the respectful captain, nodded slightly, and then walked toward the exit.
Down the corridor…
As Luo Feng stepped out of the cabin door, the Imperial Immortal-level captain, the immortal crew members, and the Realm Lord crew all bowed respectfully. The other passengers then disembarked one by one, whispering among themselves: “Who is that? Even the captain is so respectful!”
“Perhaps some Cosmic Venerable.”
“Amazing.”
“Look, even the Chaos City Lord’s Black-Clothed Envoys here to greet us are bowing respectfully to him.”
The passengers quietly discussed among themselves.
Among these passengers were some attendants from Chaos City, as well as cultivators—Cosmic-level, Domain Lords, and Realm Lords—who had painstakingly earned the opportunity to train there. More than half of them were visiting Chaos City for the first time, and they all gazed in awe at the distant figure—someone they regarded as an absolute supreme being in the universe, a Cosmic Lord.
…
Upon arriving in Chaos City, Luo Feng made his way to the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Master Luo Feng.”
“Master Luo Feng.” Many guards and servants inside the mansion naturally recognized Luo Feng. With their well-connected information network, they knew that Luo Feng had killed the Howling Mirror King, that his palace was located halfway up Thunder Island, and that he had earned a seat at the highest clan assembly. Naturally, they all showed him the utmost respect.
Before coming, Luo Feng had also researched the procedures for offering treasures to the clan through the Virtual Universe.
The designated location for offering treasures was an ancient side hall within the Primeval Universe City Lord’s Mansion. To offer a treasure, one must first apply through the Virtual Universe system, as the ancient side hall was normally closed. Only after submitting the application would the hall automatically open once the applicant arrived.
Luo Feng approached the side hall.
“Boom~~~” The ancient hall doors slowly creaked open, revealing a pair of massive bronze gates over a hundred meters wide.
Luo Feng stepped inside.
“Boom~~~” The doors closed again behind him.
“This is the place within the clan for offering treasures,” Luo Feng thought, surveying the vast interior of the side hall. At its center stood a large stone disk, approximately a hundred meters in diameter. Placing a treasure on the stone disk allowed the Virtual Universe System to inspect it thoroughly through the disk.
Luo Feng flipped his hand, and a black sword appeared—the River-Sword Luo Divine Sword.
“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”
“I only have this one River-Sword Luo Divine Sword, which isn’t much use to me. The other divine swords and the compass are nearly impossible to obtain. As for getting entangled with the Thorn Ring Alliance, I don’t have the capability for that.”
Luo Feng took a step forward, wiped his life imprint from the sword, and then placed the River-Sword Luo Divine Sword onto the stone disk.
Vrrr~~~
Thin green threads of light rose from the stone disk, wrapping around the entire sword and beginning a detailed examination.
Suddenly, a voice resonated within the hall.
“River-Sword Luo Divine Sword. Offering it to the clan will earn 12 Supreme-Treasure Points. Luo Feng, do you wish to offer this treasure to the clan?” The voice was gentle and soothing.
“Of course,” Luo Feng smiled.
Click~~~
The center of the stone disk suddenly split open, separating to both sides. Under invisible manipulation, the entire River-Sword Luo Divine Sword slowly descended into the opening below. Then the stone disk closed again, returning to its original state.
“This is the detailed list of valuable treasures available for exchange within the human clan,” the gentle voice continued. At the same time, a hazy, massive gray list appeared in the air above the hall. The list was divided into four major categories—Supreme Treasures, Major Treasures, Materials, and Special Resources…
Luo Feng looked up at the massive gray list floating in the air.
“Special Resources,” Luo Feng said aloud.
Whoosh!
The list transformed, displaying a vast array of complex resource exchanges.
…
Luo Feng began to study the treasures of the human clan in detail. Though the four categories seemed simple at first glance, further examination left him deeply impressed. This list likely contained nearly all the core wealth of the entire human clan! Naturally, there were many sections Luo Feng couldn’t even access.
For example, Supreme Treasures were divided into ‘Common Supreme Treasures,’ ‘High Supreme Treasures,’ ‘Top Supreme Treasures,’ ‘Peak Supreme Treasures,’ and ‘Ultimate Supreme Treasures.’
At present, Luo Feng could only view the Common and High Supreme Treasures. As for the Top, Peak, and Ultimate Supreme Treasures, he didn’t even have the qualifications to view them. Whether the human clan even possessed Ultimate Supreme Treasures for exchange was something Luo Feng doubted, though it was only a suspicion—he simply had no qualifications to see.
As for materials and such, those who specialized in forging weapons or refining medicinal substances would find many valuable materials here.
Special Resources were even more diverse.
Even ‘immortal-level insect queen mothers’ in hibernation and special life forms at the Realm Lord level available for soul transference were listed! Naturally, their prices varied according to rarity and importance. In short, the Special Resources category encompassed all other types not covered under ‘Supreme Treasures, Major Treasures, or Materials.’
…
Luo Feng carefully examined the list for over three hours, gradually gaining a general understanding.
“I have an endless supply of divine power from the Infinite Abyssal Sea, so I don’t need those precious resource supplies. I don’t forge weapons, refine medicinal substances, or pursue any other special cultivation paths,” Luo Feng shook his head. “It’s better to exchange for Supreme Treasures—they’re the most cost-effective.”
Regarding contribution points, there were two levels.
Offering treasures to the clan would earn either ‘Major Treasure Points’ or ‘Supreme Treasure Points.’
Generally, offering a common Major Treasure to the clan would earn between 0.5 to 1.5 Major Treasure Points. Of course, some special Major Treasures, including set pieces or those with value rivaling common Supreme Treasures—such as ‘Domain-Type Major Treasures,’ ‘Flying Palace-Type Major Treasures,’ or ‘Soul-Type Major Treasures’—would command higher prices.
As for Supreme Treasures, offering a common Supreme Treasure would earn about one Supreme Treasure Point.
The exchange rate between Major Treasure Points and Supreme Treasure Points was always fluctuating, generally maintaining a ratio of 1 Supreme Treasure Point = 3000 to 4000 Major Treasure Points. At present, the rate was 1 Supreme Treasure Point = 3220 Major Treasure Points.
“Supreme Treasures.”
“High Supreme Treasures.” Luo Feng looked at the various prices for High Supreme Treasures.
High Supreme Treasure swords ranged from 8 to 30 Supreme Treasure Points, with the cheapest requiring 8 Supreme Treasure Points.
High Supreme Treasure armor ranged from 12 to 60 Supreme Treasure Points.
As for High Supreme Treasure domain-type treasures, Luo Feng could only view the price of the cheapest one, which required a full 180 Supreme Treasure Points! As for other High Supreme Treasure domain-type treasures, he simply didn’t have the qualifications to view their detailed information.
…
In short, among High Supreme Treasures, the cheapest were usually melee weapons, while protective treasures were relatively more expensive. The most expensive were flying palaces, soul-type treasures, and domain-type treasures.
“I should look at the Common Supreme Treasures instead,” Luo Feng shook his head. “Even if I could afford High Supreme Treasure melee weapons, psychic weapons, or armor, I already have the Star Chart, the Shi Wu Wings, and the Jie Armor—no need to buy more.”
He flipped to the Common Supreme Treasure section.
The prices were significantly cheaper…
Roughly one-tenth the price of High Supreme Treasures, and there were far more items listed. These were likely mostly treasures obtained by Cosmic Sovereigns but no longer needed, so they were offered to the clan.
“Truly cheap.”
“Very cheap,” Luo Feng kept muttering to himself.
But when he saw the flying palaces, soul-type treasures, and domain-type treasures, he was stunned.
Common Supreme Treasure flying palaces ranged from 18 to 80 Supreme Treasure Points.
Common Supreme Treasure soul-type treasures ranged from 36 to 120 Supreme Treasure Points.
Common Supreme Treasure domain-type treasures ranged from 16 to 80 Supreme Treasure Points.
“Still so expensive.”
Luo Feng glanced at his mere 12 Supreme Treasure Points and sighed helplessly—he couldn’t afford even one.
“I’ll just take a look. The cheapest Common Supreme Treasure domain-type item is 16 Supreme Treasure Points. There are 13 domain-type treasures priced at 16 Supreme Treasure Points…” Luo Feng carefully examined the list and soon locked onto one of the 16 Supreme Treasure Point items—the ‘Nine-Xiao River,’ a domain-type Supreme Treasure!
