Virtual Universe, Hongmeng Palace.
Ye Muxuan was drinking with Lord Youhou. One of them was a disciple of the Lord of Darkness, and the other was a disciple of the Palace Master of White Phoenix Palace. They were both third-generation direct descendants in the Virtual Universe Company, so they were naturally closer to each other.
"How have you been doing these past few years?" Ye Muxuan asked, sipping the epoch-level "Drunken Dream Wine".
"It's alright. A while ago, my master and I found a top-tier treasure in a canyon in the outer realms. My master didn't like it, so he gave it to me." Lord Youhou said, saying it was alright, but his eyebrows were somewhat excited. For him, even an ordinary top-tier treasure was quite precious. "In a while, I should be able to accumulate enough treasures to exchange for a top-tier domain treasure."
Although Lord Youhou has the Lord of Darkness as his teacher, the Lord of Darkness is currently hiding in the shadows and has not yet been exposed. Every force has some hidden trump cards. Naturally, he cannot openly hand over some treasures to Youhou. Even if it is a transaction, Youhou must be able to obtain something of similar value.
Moreover, at the level of the Lord of the Universe, every powerful being has their own pride and disdains to constantly accept gifts from others, even their own teachers.
Lord Youhou hasn't been a Universe Lord for long, and his current resources are still somewhat limited. His Soul Domain and Palace Treasures are only at the high-level, but his weapons and armor are top-tier treasures. If we include the treasures he currently uses, Lord Youhou is worth approximately 2000 Treasure Points, which is quite good among newly ascended Universe Lords. At this point, acquiring a top-tier treasure weapon worth several hundred points is a considerable gain.
As for what Lord Youhou said about "after a while," it certainly doesn't mean ten or twenty thousand years; it refers to a period of time measured in tens of thousands of epochs. Perhaps by then, one can obtain even more treasures, and with sufficient accumulation, exchange them for the treasures one desires.
"And you? You've been in the Peak Realm for almost 100,000 years now, how have you been doing?" After envisioning his own future...
Lord Youhou looked at Ye Muxuan and spoke.
"It's alright. I was lucky enough to find a soul treasure of very good quality in the waters a while ago, which is just right for Qing Sui's clone to use." Ye Muxuan didn't dare to tell the Lord of Youhou that this soul treasure was neither found in the waters nor could it be said that its quality was more than just very good.
This is because it's a top-tier soul treasure, the greatest gain in nearly 100,000 years. Although not of the highest grade, if placed in the clan's treasury, this thing would be worth at least tens of thousands of treasure points. Most fourth- or even fifth-tier universe lords use soul treasures at this level, and some might not even possess them.
"The waters are good; at least there are relatively few Universe Lords, so the competition isn't too fierce." Lord Youhou nodded. In the outer waters of the Qingfeng Realm, most of the places are frequented by newly emerging Universe Lords like Ye Muxuan. More senior Universe Lords, such as Lord Youhou, usually go to the main body of the Qingfeng Realm in groups.
During their conversation, the two exchanged a lot of information, and Ye Muxuan learned a great deal about some of the secrets of the universe.
"?" During the conversation, Ye Muxuan's eyes suddenly changed, becoming as deep and unfathomable as an abyss. "What's wrong?" The Lord of Youhou also noticed his abnormality and was startled. "Something happened?"
Ye Muxuan's clone was, after all, in the Qingfeng Realm, one of the three forbidden lands, where any kind of danger could occur.
"Not necessarily." Ye Muxuan said solemnly after thinking for a moment, "I'll go and take care of things over there first."
"OK."
In the realm of peaks, within a massive canyon several light-years in diameter, Huang's clone suddenly turned its head, its enormous single eye staring straight ahead a trillion kilometers away.
As he had planned, he had just teleported to this area when he sensed a vast and profound aura of treasures.
Which strongest being in the universe has brought all their wealth here? According to my senses, there are dozens of supreme treasures whose aura is comparable to the Twilight Snow Blade in my hand, and even more top-tier treasures, totaling over a hundred!
Or rather, whose stronghold is this?
Some of the strongest solitary beings in the three great cycles of reincarnation, lacking a clan to protect them, often occupy a place in a dangerous area of the cosmic sea as their residence. A well-known example is the Mountain-Sitting Guest, who has placed a palace-like treasure in the "Northern Snowstorm Domain," his true residence in the cosmic sea, housing numerous cosmic venerable servants. Furthermore, due to the Mountain-Sitting Guest's exceptional treasure-refining skills, many cosmic lords from various forces will come here if they need his assistance. Therefore, the dangerous Northern Snowstorm Domain often represents the Mountain-Sitting Guest.
Similarly, dangerous places like Three Star Valley, Nine Extremes Palace, and Blood Orchid Sea also represent the strongest beings in the universe.
However, among all the information gathered by humans, there is no record of any of the strongest beings in the universe having a palace or residence in this place.
Amidst the swirling starlight, Huang's cautious approach over the past hundred thousand years prevented him from being intoxicated by the terrifying aura of these treasures.
Soon, the starlight from the Star Realm spread a trillion kilometers away, easily covering the location sensed.
No signs of life were detected.
Although Huang Que's clone was a stone man, he felt a sense of relief followed by a sudden tension.
The absence of life suggests either that this is the lair of the strongest being in the universe who hasn't returned, or that a powerful being from three cycles of reincarnation, or even earlier, resided here but has since perished, leaving behind a treasure trove. After all, no matter who the universe lord was, even a so-called sixth-order universe lord, it's impossible for them to leave a place here.
Regardless of the situation, it's worth the risk for him.
People die for money, that's for sure.
It was only a trillion kilometers, but after a super-short-distance teleport, it was within a million kilometers, and then it slowly flew under the exploration of the domain treasure, the Star Realm.
An hour later, despite being slow and careful, they finally approached the location of the aura, but the place was completely silent, devoid of any signs of life, and—they saw no treasure!
His senses told him that right here, within a radius of no more than ten meters, there was a large number of terrifying treasures, but he didn't see them.
Huang's clone hid inside the Wind and Rain Tower, which shrank to a small tower about one meter in size. Then, it carefully stared at the ten-meter range, searching inch by inch.
Three hours later, a trace was found in a grain of sand embedded in the rock face.
Such marks are extremely common on the rock face, caused by various environments in the cosmic sea, such as the cold wind that can instantly dissipate the divine body of a cosmic lord, the scouring of water, and even the scorching of flames. Even if some cosmic lords pressed their eyes against the rock face, they might not be able to find anything different about these marks.
However, Huang's clone discovered that the scratch-like mark was deeper at the top, about the size of a sesame seed.
Compared to this cave, even with the detection of domain treasures and divine power, this slight anomaly on the rock wall is negligible.
