Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 166 Zhang Yi's Plan
Inside the treasure space, only the powerful members of the Hong Alliance remained.

"Zhang Yi, stop being modest. You are the strongest among the experts present. Everyone will be most convinced if you stay."

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace said with a smile, and the other powerful figures echoed his sentiments.

“Junior brother, Tian Shi is right. You staying behind will be the most convincing choice,” said Venerable Guiyi.

"That's right, anyone who disagrees, come and have a go at me, Venerable Huangtian!" Venerable Huangtian laughed heartily.

"Venerable Desolate Heaven is joking. We are self-aware and would never dare to have such thoughts." A chorus of voices rose from the surroundings.

Zhang Yi stood in the void, looking at all this, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Everyone, I'll accept this supreme treasure for now. Everyone contributed to this treasure competition. Once we return to our clan, I will distribute some of the treasure points to you all."

He has already gained a lot on the original star. Sharing some of the benefits with these cosmic venerables of the Hongmeng is also a way of giving them a chance.

Zhang Yi always acts according to his conscience.

"Haha, thank you very much."

See you in the virtual universe.

"Junior brother, we're leaving."

Soon, only Zhang Yi remained in this treasure space.

The central black tower burst forth with dazzling light, and a stream of light shot into the sky, landing in front of Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi looked down and saw a silvery-white liquid that was constantly flowing, with incredibly complex secret patterns appearing and disappearing on its surface.

"Hmm? No message at all?" Zhang Yi imprinted the life mark with his divine power, but the silvery-white liquid did not send any message.

It's rare for a supreme treasure to have no information. Usually, this only happens when it's part of a powerful supreme treasure and is incomplete. For example, in the original novel, Luo Feng obtained one of the nine divine swords of the top-tier domain-type supreme treasure 'Sword River Luo' on the Primordial Star, but there was no information about it.

It exudes the aura of a supreme treasure, yet still contains no information about the treasure itself, which is quite rare.

"Could it be a part of that unrevealed treasure?" Zhang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

He didn't leave the Origin Palace directly this time for two reasons: first, to kill as many powerful members of the Three Races Alliance as possible; and second, because he sensed that the Origin Palace was about to give birth to one of its most powerful treasures.

Zhang Yi waved his hand, collected the silvery-white liquid, and then left the treasure space.

In the virtual universe, in the Hongmeng Hall, in a side hall, the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Ice Peak, and the Lord of Youhou were all present.

Whoosh! Zhang Yi appeared out of nowhere.

"Teacher, Uncle-Master, Lord You," Zhang Yi greeted them.

"Look, the newly appointed Lord of the Universe of my Virtual Universe Company has arrived!" Lord Youhou exclaimed.

“Lord You.” Zhang Yi shook his head. “Don’t flatter me. It’s not that easy for a universe master to advance.”

“Zhang Yi, Youhou is right, you are the Lord of the Universe.” The Lord of Chaos City smiled.

The Lord of Ice Peak also spoke up, saying, "Nephew, you can use a secret technique at the level of a universe lord to quickly kill a top-tier universe overlord. If you are not a universe lord, then who is?"

"Zhang Yi, from now on you are the Lord of the Universe. Your teacher has been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"Junior brother." The Chaos City Lord couldn't help but glare at the Ice Peak Lord. As the eldest disciple of the Primordial Ancestor, he had always been the Primordial Ancestor's pride. However, he never expected that the Dark Lord, who had not performed well among the Primordial Ancestor's disciples, would slowly rise up and break through to the Universe Lord over many years, becoming a fifth-order Universe Lord with strength comparable to his own.

The Dark Lord's disciple, Youhou, even broke through to the level of the Universe Lord, instantly becoming a legendary tale among the human race.

The Lord of Chaos City had always held a grudge about this matter. Now that he had reached a certain level of status and power, he valued these kinds of things more than face. He had discussed this matter with the Lord of Ice Peak quite a bit.

Unfortunately, among the disciples of the Chaos City Lord, the most outstanding was only a cosmic overlord, until Zhang Yi's rapid rise.

Zhang Yi instantly understood what the Lord of Ice Peak meant, and grinned, "Then I'll reluctantly accept it."

Among all the races in the universe, which of the cosmic overlords and top cosmic overlords doesn't dream of one day becoming the master of the universe? Zhang Yi accepted it with a somewhat reluctant expression.

Lord Youhou, known for his eccentric personality, showed no mercy: "Oh, the great Lord Zhang Yi, you look down on the Lord of the Universe? Wait until another day, you can break through to become the strongest in the universe, so I can admire you too."

The Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Ice Peak burst into laughter.

Zhang Yi also smiled.

A joyful atmosphere filled the side hall.

"This time, our Virtual Universe Company has six Universe Lords, giving us a significant advantage over that Giant Axe Arena," Lord Youhou said proudly once again.

"Haha, Zhang Yi, we'll hold a celebration for you when you come out of the Primal Star. Use this time to think about your title," said the Chaos City Lord.

"Yes, teacher," Zhang Yi replied. "I have another matter to report."

Then, Zhang Yi explained his plan.

The three, including the Chaos City Lord, were utterly shocked upon hearing this. However, since they were all super strong individuals and knew of Zhang Yi's extraordinary talent, they quickly accepted it.

"Alright, your teacher trusts you. This time, you'll be in charge of everything. Bingfeng and Youhou will fully cooperate with you." The Chaos City Lord made his decision, a hint of killing intent flashing in his usually calm eyes. "It's time to let the Three Races Alliance know that my Hong Alliance is not to be trifled with."

"Yes, teacher, I will make sure they never forget this," Zhang Yi said with a smile, but his smile also contained a chilling killing intent.

Then he spoke again, "This time I'll have to trouble you, Uncle-Master, Lord You. Let's meet at the nearest location first."

"Alright." Both the Lord of Ice Peak and the Lord of Netherworld nodded.

Benyuan Hall.

Whoosh! Zhang Yi appeared in the Origin Palace world, and the spatial vortex behind him began to dissipate.

"Shilun, is that silvery-white liquid I obtained, comparable to a supreme treasure, actually part of that unborn treasure?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask.

“Young Master, you should know that what I cannot tell you is the Master’s order. In this Origin Palace, whatever you want to do, I will not interfere, but I will not help you either.”

Zhang Yi, who had already anticipated this, was still somewhat disappointed upon hearing Shi Lun's words. Undeterred, he pressed on, "If you reveal a little bit, it wouldn't be against Senior Time Traveler's rules, would it?"

Silence! A long silence!
The Wheel of Time fell silent again, just as Zhang Yi was about to give up.

"Young Master, I can only tell you that it is indeed related to that treasure. As for this silvery-white liquid, it will be of great use in your struggle for that treasure." Shi Lun's voice suddenly rang out.

"Would it be of great use in the treasure hunt?" Zhang Yi was slightly taken aback; it seemed this thing was not quite what he had imagined.

"That treasure hasn't been revealed yet. Let's take advantage of this time to collect some interest from the Three Races Alliance." Zhang Yi gazed into the distance, his eyes cold.
