Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 100 Arrival at Headquarters, the Venerable One's Attention
The Marquis of Yinxue's mansion covers a very large area.

Although it is called a mansion, it is actually much larger than a country on Earth.

From time to time, one can see clusters resembling cities, where many elite members of the Ji family live.

Furthermore, given the size of the Ji clan, after hundreds of millions of years of reproduction, their population is already unimaginable, enough to occupy an entire star system.

Those qualified to live in the Silver Snow Marquis's mansion are either elites themselves or descendants of important figures.

“Mr. Ye Xingkong, the palace where Inspector Fu Ge resides is just ahead.”

A woman with a beautiful face, a curvaceous and full figure, and a mature appearance like a ripe peach smiled and said.

"Thank you for leading the way, Miss Ji Ling'er."

Ye Xingkong wore a smile.

"No need to thank me. Serving our distinguished guests is my duty."

Ji Ling'er breathed softly, her large, watery eyes looking at Ye Xingkong. She emphasized the word "service," as if she meant something.

Ye Xingkong remained expressionless, pretending to be completely unaware.

In fact, in the more than three hundred years since he entered the Silver Snow Marquis's mansion, whether it was at the behest of the Silver Snow Marquis or on the intention of some important figures in the Ji family, many women of exceptional beauty have been secretly sent over.

How could Ye Xingkong not know what the Ji family was planning?

Although he enjoyed women, he didn't want to have a large number of bloodline descendants inexplicably appearing hundreds of years later, so he decisively rejected them all.

Unexpectedly, the Ji family seemed to enjoy this practice and would send a batch of women over every year.

The gist is that among so many stunningly beautiful women, there's bound to be one who happens to fit Ye Xingkong's aesthetic standards.

If they do get noticed, they'll definitely make a profit.

Later, Ye Xingkong got so annoyed that he symbolically kept Ji Ling'er, while the others all returned the way they came.

The reason for choosing Ji Ling'er was not because she was attracted to her voluptuous figure and charming beauty.

Having a member of the Ji clan by one's side in the Silver Snow Marquis's mansion is indeed quite convenient.

Ye Xingkong and his group landed in front of a magnificent golden palace.

"Mr. Ye, His Highness has been waiting for you for a long time, knowing you were coming."

A guard in black armor smiled and said.

Ye Xingkong nodded and walked straight into the main hall, with Qian Si following closely behind.

"Haha, Ye Xingkong, long time no see!"

Fu Ge strode forward, his eyes gleaming, his entire being resembling a tall black bear, exuding a fierce aura with his powerful strides.

Ye Xingkong looked at Fu Ge and felt that this genius from the Primordial Secret Realm seemed to be very different from three hundred years ago.

"I am truly sorry, I was held up by an important matter before, and this duel has been delayed for hundreds of years without my knowledge."

"But now, it's time for us to have a real showdown."

Fu Ge grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

Ye Xingkong shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

This duel was originally dispensable to him; if Fu Ge hadn't come to him personally, he would have almost forgotten about it.

"Alright, let's enter the virtual universe and fight."

A glint flashed in Fu Ge's eyes as he said meaningfully, "This battle was a mission assigned by Virtual Universe Corporation, so the entire process will be recorded for reference by the company's senior management."

"I see."

Ye Xingkong smiled and nodded.

The other party's meaning was clear: it was just a duel, meant to show the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company; there was no need to reveal any trump cards.

······
virtual universe.

It was a secluded space, a silent space that resembled the starry sky of the universe.

Ye Xingkong and Fu Ge appeared on the surface of a desolate planet. The entire planet was faintly dark red, and the extremely hot temperature made their vision slightly distorted.

"Ye Xingkong, come and fight!"

Fu Ge wore a close-fitting silver armor, a black belt around his waist, black combat boots, and carried a heavy black sword on his back.

"Whether or not there are missions from the Virtual Universe Company, I want to see just how good you really are, the genius who was accepted as a disciple by the ruler of the universe."

Fu Ge laughed loudly, his eyes radiating unparalleled confidence.

"Okay, I'll satisfy you."

Ye Xingkong nodded calmly.

He carried a dark gold staff on his back, his entire body was covered in armor, and he was standing on gilded runes.

"Come and fight!"

Fu Ge laughed loudly, taking a step that seemed to traverse a thousand meters. The broadsword behind him was like a giant beast awakening, thirsting for the blood of its enemies.

brush!
The moment he swung his battle blade, the blood-red blade seemed to vanish, carrying an irresistible intent of destruction as it slashed towards Ye Xingkong.

"Not bad."

"This strike should be at the level of the tenth level of the Bridge to Heaven."

Ye Xingkong nodded.

It can only be said that the geniuses of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Realm are quite something; even as a mere region lord, they possess a level of understanding of laws comparable to immortals.

"But this one strike won't threaten me."

Ye Xingkong shook his head. He looked down and saw a blood-red blade instantly cleave him in two.

But the next moment, his figure materialized again thousands of meters away.

"His swordsmanship is alright, but his speed is too slow."

Ye Xingkong said lightly.

"it is good!"

Fu Ge gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage as he glared at Ye Xingkong and roared, "Then let me show you my greatest achievement in the last three hundred years! Originally, I intended to use this strike in the next qualifying battle!"

boom!
As soon as Fu Ge finished speaking, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light, condensed to its extreme, appeared out of nowhere and slowly passed through his forehead.

"Okay... so fast!"

"This is the Divine Sword of Evolution, capable of defeating even the immortal..."

Fu Ge murmured, and then his body was engulfed by endless golden light.

"Unfortunately, I have no interest in watching your swordsmanship."

Ye Xingkong shook his head and then exited the virtual universe.

in reality.

Fu Ge stood there dumbfounded, his expression still full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that he had been defeated so decisively.

Ye Xingkong glanced at him, her expression indifferent, and then left directly.

For this genius from the primeval realm, the most important thing now is to understand himself.

······
"Once I've dealt with Fu Ge, that will be a small matter settled."

"Hmm, merely revealing the comprehension of the laws of the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven shouldn't be too heaven-defying."

"Although... the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven is enough to crush all the current domain lord-level geniuses in the Primal Secret Realm."

The Five Elements Avatar was in a fairly good mood, carefully sensing the changes in its body.

A 100-fold increase in life gene level doesn't actually enhance the combat power of the Five Elements Avatars much.

After all, the main foundation of this clone's power still comes from the first layer of secret runes of the Five Elements Battle Armor.

The more significant aspect of the advancement in his life's genetic level was that it allowed him to comprehend the laws at an even faster pace.

The origin core of the golden miniature universe allowed him to comprehend the laws at a ten-thousand-fold efficiency.
A hundred times the level of life genes, the degree of compatibility with the laws is one hundred times;
The combination of the two is equivalent to a million times the efficiency of comprehending the laws.

Comprehending the laws of nature is as easy as drinking water or eating, but for Ye Xingkong, it might not be impossible.

"Master Silver Serpent, we have arrived at the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company."

The sharp voice of the Grinding Dust King echoed in his mind. Ye Xingkong nodded, walked out of the training room, and ordered the spaceship to activate 100% panoramic simulation.

In the distant cosmic sky, a vast supercontinent floats.

This continent is about tens of light-years in diameter, and compared to it, the Qianwu Continent in the Qianwu Secret Realm is just a tiny speck.

"Virtual Universe Corporation headquarters, finally here!"

Ye Xingkong felt a mix of emotions, including awe, wonder, and even a surge of excitement.

This place is the true heartland of humankind!
Besides the Chaos City Lord's avatar who has been stationed there for a long time, there may be several other human universe lords hiding there as well.

"Master Silver Serpent, I have completed this escort mission and it's time for me to return."

Looking at Ye Xingkong's indifferent expression, Mochen Wang felt a little regretful that he hadn't been able to befriend this weapon-refining master.

"Alright, see you again someday."

"This is my virtual universe ID... Feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future."

Ye Xingkong smiled.

······
After disembarking from the spaceship.

Ye Xingkong was guided by a special person into a spacious oval hall.

The entire hall is transparent, both around and above it. Looking up, you can see the boundless universe, spaceships, and even immortal beings that fly by like shooting stars.

"Sir, these are your items. Please sign for them."

A man wearing a silver snake robe and with a blue horn on his forehead said with a smile.

"it is good."

Ye Xingkong's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the metal box that the man handed her.

These items were refining materials he purchased from the virtual universe company's treasury during his travels over the past two years. They were extremely rare materials, almost never seen in the outside world.

This batch of refining materials alone cost him over two billion Hunyuan, nearly exhausting all of his cash flow.

If Ye Xingkong weren't a weapon refiner who could easily sell any weapon for a high price at auction, he wouldn't dare to do this.

After all, even for beings like the King of Immortals, having a sufficient amount of cash on hand is very important.

"Huh, those three drops of the Myriad Years of Profound Yin Water are also among them."

"Thus, the rare materials needed to forge a pseudo-heavy treasure have been basically gathered."

"However, I don't have much money right now, and I can't even afford the basic materials. It seems I'll have to forge a few immortal weapons to sell."

"That's perfect. I'm new to Virtual Universe Company, so I should release a few high-quality products to make a name for myself."

"For weapon refiners, reputation is also very important; otherwise, who would come to you forge weapons?"

A slight smile appeared on Ye Xingkong's face.

Over the past few centuries, quite a few powerful individuals have sought his help in refining weapons.

Of course, big clients like the Third Prince of the Wild Universe Kingdom, who can command billions of mixed yuan, are still very rare.

After all, the entire human race only has a little over 100,000 Kings, and not every King Immortal has a need to forge weapons.

Only those newly crowned kings who do not yet possess a suitable weapon would specifically commission a weapon refiner to forge an immortal divine weapon.

Moreover, 10 billion Chaos Yuan is not a small number for someone who has been granted the title of King and Immortal.

Many weapons used by those who achieve the title of King and Immortal are actually priced at around one billion Chaos Yuan.

Of course, although very few King-level Immortals come to Ye Xingkong for weapon crafting, thanks to his high success rate, Ye Xingkong has accumulated a lot of weapon crafting materials over the years.

By piecing things together, it shouldn't be a problem to forge a few immortal divine weapons of the King-level.

"We can talk about weapon forging later. Right now, let's go and pay our respects to the weapon forging department."

Ye Xingkong muttered to himself.

The first thing he did upon arriving at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company was to meet Venerable Youhuo.

This person is his direct superior, and if anything happens in the future, he will most likely have to step in and protect him.

Ye Xingkong had already met Venerable Youhuo once in the virtual universe. His first impression was that this person was not a weapon refiner, but a Shura who had fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

In reality, this intense, almost tangible, malevolent aura left Ye Xingkong speechless.

"Very surprised?"

"Don't forget, before I was a master weapon refiner, I was also a powerful expert."

Venerable Youhuo said with a smile.

The Netherfire Palace where he resided was filled with flames of various colors, resembling a sky full of stars.

Ye Xingkong casually noticed a white flame and felt that it was far more terrifying than the "purple-black dual-color flame" of the third level of his Purple-Gold Illusionary Void Gourd.

"These flames were obtained by me while traveling through various secret realms of the universe."

“Some of these dangerous places are so perilous that even a cosmic sage would consider them fraught with danger.”

Venerable Youhuo's eyes shone as brightly as stars, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Ye Xingkong, I observed your weapon-forging techniques, and they seem quite extraordinary. Your style is remarkably similar to that of a weapon-forging master from the universe.”

"Can you tell me about your weapon-refining heritage?"

Venerable Youhuo said with a smile.

Ye Xingkong paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Reporting to the Venerable One, I cultivate the 'Primordial Spirit Refining Treasure Technique'."

"The Primordial Spirit Refining Treasure Technique... No wonder!"

"So it's the lineage of the God of Craftsmen."

Venerable Youhuo showed an expression of sudden realization, but he was not surprised.

It seems that the "Primordial Spirit Refining Treasure Technique," as a secret manual used by the God of Crafts to select disciples, is not exactly a secret within the human race.

"The God of Craftsmanship can be called the number one person in the universe when it comes to crafting weapons."

"He is capable of forging a supreme treasure."

"Even the strongest weapon refiner among my human race can only refine high-grade treasures."

Venerable Youhuo sighed softly.

High-grade treasures... may have some use for the Lord of the Universe, but for the human race as a whole, they cannot change anything.

Ye Xingkong stood silently to the side.

He also knew that the true treasure that the human race lacked was an extremely powerful treasure!
"My virtual universe weapon refining department doesn't have many rules. As long as we complete the clan's tasks on time, that's fine."

"It's not that difficult; at most, it's just a matter of forging a few immortal divine weapons for free."

"These are the information of other members of our department. You can get to know them better in the future."

Venerable Youhuo spoke calmly, as if there was another meaning behind his words.

Ye Xingkong nodded, and then received an email in the virtual universe.

The list doesn't have many people; they are all top-level executives in the weapon-refining department, capable of refining at least King-level Immortal Divine Weapons. There are fewer than thirty people in total.

Among them are three Cosmic Venerables and twenty-four Immortals.

Ye Xingkong's name was also among them, but he was the only ordinary immortal among them.

"Even within Virtual Universe Company, it doesn't mean that everything is monolithic."

"Where there are interests, there will be conflicts; that's normal."

“A department, or even a respected person, can represent a faction.”

Half an hour later, Ye Xingkong left Venerable Youhuo's "Youhuo Palace" with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Then, he smiled with relief.

"Factions and factions are all just fleeting things."

"I only pursue the Tao and strive to achieve the highest realm."

"Besides, the silver snake is the silver snake, what does it have to do with me, Ye Xingkong?"

Ye Xingkong shook his head, and then his figure disappeared into the dark corridor.
