Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 445 Treasure, Teacher (6000 words, updated on May 2nd)

Upon returning to human territory, Yang Wu immediately requested his race to contribute their most precious treasures in the virtual universe.

Only after submitting an application can one enter that side hall in the Chaos City Lord's Mansion.

At the same time as submitting the application, Yang Wu also carried his treasures, which no longer had much effect on him, to the Initial Universe.

hum!

The bronze gate slowly opened, and Yang Wu stepped inside. Then the bronze gate closed again.

Let's begin!

Yang Wu waved his hand.

Whoosh!

Instantly, the treasures floated in mid-air, and then drifted towards the blue stone plate in the center of the side hall.

Countless cyan rays of light rose up and enveloped the precious treasures.

These treasures were either treasures that Yang Wu himself had already discarded, or they were obtained from the secret realm of the Dulong Clan, or they were spoils of war obtained after killing Obsidian Venerable and Tianhua Venerable.

Among these were the corpse of a cosmic lord, two high-grade treasure armors, one top-grade treasure weapon, several ordinary treasures, and some precious materials...

The most valuable item was undoubtedly the top-tier treasure weapon used by Venerable Tianhua. As for the Nine-Turn Dragon Spear obtained after killing Venerable Obsidian, it was given to Tingni's clone.

"If I wanted to exchange for a top-tier domain-level item, even if I contributed all these treasures, I'm afraid I would still be lacking!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Yang Wu now possesses a treasure that is almost enough to arm a powerful clone.

The attack-type treasures include the Upside-Down Blood Spear, the treasure armor includes the Eight Treasures Exquisite Armor, the soul-type treasures include Azure Flame, and the palace-type treasures include the Northern Prison. Although the Northern Prison can only be used when using the identity of the Northern Prison Master, it is enough.

With such a configuration, it's probably not much different from a fourth-tier universe lord like the Dragon Lord!

The only drawback is that it's a domain-type treasure. Although he has the Mountain and River Map, Yang Wu has now become the Lord of the Universe, so this ordinary domain-type treasure bestowed upon him by the Ancestral God Sect is no longer of much use!

"A complete body of a Universe Lord, a common-level treasure like the Mountain and River Map, a top-tier treasure weapon like the Octagonal Bright Silver Hammer, a high-grade treasure armor... Offering these treasures to the clan will yield 392 treasure points. Yang Wu, are you willing to offer these treasures to the clan?" A gentle voice echoed in the hall.

"Confirmed!" Yang Wu replied with a smile.

Click! Click!

The center of the blue stone disc suddenly split open, splitting into two parts, and then many treasures slowly fell downwards under invisible manipulation.

Immediately afterwards, the blue stone disc gathered together again, returning to its original shape.

"This is a detailed exchange form for precious treasures within the human race!" the gentle voice rang out again.

At the same time, a hazy, huge gray form appeared in the void in front of Yang Wu, which listed the categories of many treasures.

Yang Wu looked up at his personal information.

"542.2 Treasure Points?"

Yang Wu was slightly taken aback when he saw his treasure points.

You should know that after exchanging for the Flame Gun last time, he had used up all his Treasure Points. How did he suddenly have 150 Treasure Points?

Yang Wu clicked on the source of the treasure points and discovered that the extra 150 treasure points were actually a gift from the human race.

It turns out that Yang Wu did not request any treasures at the Supreme Conference, so the human race directly gave him Treasure Points so that he could exchange them for treasures that suited him.

"The human race is indeed generous!" Yang Wu thought to himself. "Even the Silver Serpent Sword that was exchanged with the Dark Serpent Lord was only worth 120 Treasure Points."

"Special resource category," Yang Wu said.

Wow!

The form changed, and a large number of special resources suddenly appeared on the screen in front of Yang Wu.

Yang Wu stood in front of the giant screen and began searching for treasures that could enhance the genetic level of Earthlings.

Although he has obtained the method to recombine life genes through divine power, it is too profound and still requires a long time to try.

Now that he has become the master of the universe, Yang Wu can continue to improve his life gene level through treasures. Of course, he wants to improve his life gene level as much as possible!

"Huh?" Yang Wu looked at the screen in surprise.

At this point, several options for upgrading the genetic level of flesh and blood life forms have appeared on the screen:

The first method is to raise one's own life gene level from a hundred times that of the life gene of the master of the universe to a thousand times;

The second method is to raise one's own life gene level from 100 times that of the universe master's life gene to 3,000 times.

The third method is to raise one's own life gene level from 100 times that of the universe master's life gene to 5,000 times.

The fourth type...

Yang Wu gently clicked on the details of each option and discovered that the resources consumed by each option to enhance the level of life genes increased exponentially.

The first option requires only 30 Arcana Points; the second requires 200 Arcana Points; and the third requires 1000 Arcana Points…

As for the last option, if a universe master wants to raise their life gene level to nearly ten thousand times, they would need to spend nearly ten thousand treasure points, which is almost enough to exchange for a top-level domain treasure!

"I still need to exchange for a suitable domain-specific treasure; for now, I can only increase the life genes of my Earthling self by nearly a thousand times!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "Anyway, with the Flame God Clan clone and the Thunder God clone in battle, and the Earthling main body with a thousand times the life force, it's more than enough to protect Earth!"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately exchanged for a large amount of resources that could enhance the life genes of Earthlings by a thousand times.

"30 Treasure Points—the entire fortune of a cosmic overlord, gone just like that!"

Yang Wu shook his head and smiled, then continued, "Open the category of Treasures, specifically the Domain Treasures!"

hum!

The form changed again, and a large number of domain-specific treasures suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Even the cheapest top-tier realm-class treasures cost nearly two thousand treasure points. With my current wealth, I can only exchange for one high-level realm-class treasure!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Yang Wu truly hadn't expected that the price of a top-tier domain-level treasure would exceed that of a typical peak-level treasure weapon.

However, this is quite normal, since even the Lord of Chaos City only uses a top-tier domain-type treasure like the Thousand Treasures River!

Among the high-level treasures, the cheapest one Yang Wu could see required 180 treasure points, while the most expensive one required 700 treasure points.

Yang Wu examined the items carefully, and his gaze quickly locked onto a domain-type treasure worth 450 treasure points, named "Netherworld Purple Flame Bottle".

The Netherworld Purple Flame Bottle is a high-level treasure with fire attributes, requiring 450 treasure points to obtain.

What attracted Yang Wu was naturally the introduction to the fire attribute.

Although Yang Wu has long since fully comprehended the eight lower-level laws and the two higher-level laws of time and space, his favorite to manipulate is still the supreme treasure of the fire attribute.

After all, he initially focused on the fire attribute, and he didn't even rely on a time simulator to simulate his entry into the realm of fundamental laws.

Yang Wu immediately asked, "A detailed introduction to the Netherworld Purple Flame Bottle."

Wow!

A scene suddenly appeared on the screen in mid-air. In the vast starry sky, a purple-gold exquisite bottle suddenly appeared out of thin air. Then, a mighty purple flame swept in all directions in an instant, with endless bursts of flame constantly surging, just like an ocean made of flames.

"The Netherworld Purple Flame Bottle is a pure domain-type treasure, possessing extremely powerful oppressive and binding abilities. If fully activated by a universe lord, its power would be enough to easily annihilate a universe overlord without the protection of a high-level treasure armor!"

A gentle voice rang out: "Because its power is extremely strong, the user must at least possess the strength of a cosmic overlord; otherwise, they simply cannot fully unleash its power!"

After listening to the introduction, Yang Wu nodded in satisfaction.

With this Netherworld Purple Flame Bottle, if he were to encounter the Demon Lord of the Heavenly Wolf Clan again, he would no longer be restricted by the opponent's domain-type treasure!

"The Netherworld Purple Flame Bottle requires 450 Treasure Points to exchange for. Yang Wu, do you wish to exchange for it?"

"exchange!"

Yang Wu did not hesitate at all.

"BOOM!!"

The stone disc in the center of the hall slowly cracked open, revealing a pitch-black passage leading to the Invincible Abyss. Immediately afterward, a treasure slowly flew out of the passage—an exquisitely crafted bottle, about the size of an arm and entirely purple-gold in color.

The purple-gold bottle flew directly towards Yang Wu and landed in his outstretched palm.

"I've obtained the Netherworld Purple Flame Bottle, a supreme treasure of the advanced realm!"

Yang Wu released a wisp of divine power that seeped into the bottle, instantly imprinting his life mark upon it. The purple-gold bottle quickly merged into Yang Wu's palm, leaving a bottle-shaped pattern on his hand.

After silently experiencing the power of the Netherworld Purple Flame Bottle, Yang Wu began exchanging for other supreme treasures.

A common Arcana item of the metallic flying palace type, "Purple Gold Peak," costs 21 Arcana Points;

A common-level treasure, "Nine Star Sea," costs 18 Treasure Points.

A top-tier treasured battle sword, a top-tier treasured armor, and a top-tier soul-type treasure...

Several treasures cost Yang Wu a total of over forty treasure points.

……

The headquarters of Virtual Universe Company, in the manor of the Nine Swords Master.

Nine Swords Venerable, Kandri, and Azure Dragon Venerable were gathered together and exchanging ideas.

However, when they explored the secret realm before, Kandri was the leader among the three, but now, the leader has become the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Nine Swords, if it weren't for you this time, I wouldn't have been able to become a subordinate of the Lord of Time. This is truly a great favor..." The Azure Dragon Venerable looked at the Nine Swords Venerable, his face full of gratitude.

"Azure Dragon, given our friendship, what's this?" Nine Swords Venerable waved his hand and said.

When he recommended the Azure Dragon Venerable and his companion to Yang Wu, it was merely a small favor.

"As a reward from the previous secret realm, Lord Time Lord actually bestowed upon me a priceless treasure armor!"

The Azure Dragon Venerable looked at Kandri and asked with a smile, "Kandri, what treasure did the Lord of Time bestow upon you?"

You should know that if it weren't for Yang Wu's presence in the Dulong Clan's secret realm, they would probably have perished at the hands of the Obsidian Venerable or the Heavenly Flower Venerable. How could they have obtained such a precious treasure?

"I also obtained a treasured armor!" Kander said with a smile.

Just then, a figure exuding an astonishing aura appeared in the main hall. It was Yang Wu, who had already exchanged the treasures in the clan's treasury.

"Lord of Time!"

"Lord of Time!"

When Kandri and Azure Dragon Venerable saw Yang Wu appear, they quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully.

Seeing this, Yang Wu nodded slightly, then looked at the Nine Swords Venerable and greeted him with a smile, "Teacher!"

"Yang Wu, you've arrived!" The Nine Swords Venerable's voice rang out.

In fact, if Yang Wu hadn't sent him a message before, the Nine Swords Venerable would probably have already left his residence.

After all, a powerful figure like him rarely stays in the mansion at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Kandri, Qinglong!" Yang Wu looked at the two and calmly instructed, "You two may step back now!"

"Yes!" Kander and Azure Dragon Venerable replied respectfully, and then quickly left Nine Swords Venerable's manor.

After the two left the manor, they began to discuss the matter again.

"Kandri, what do you think the Lord of Time wants with Nine Swords this time?"

"I remember that the Lord of Time didn't share the spoils from the secret realm with the Nine Swords before, so this time it must be for that reason!" Kandri said with certainty.

"I think so too!" Venerable Azure Dragon said earnestly, "Nine Swords is the Time Lord's teacher, so he should at least have obtained a treasure of comparable value to a domain-type supreme treasure, right?"

"Hmm! Nine Swords' luck is truly incredible. It hasn't been that long, and the treasures he possesses are already surpassing mine!"

……

After Kander and Azure Dragon Venerable left, Nine Swords Venerable looked at Yang Wu and asked with a smile, "Disciple, please sit down!"

Yang Wu nodded and then sat down next to the Nine Swords Venerable.

With a wave of his hand, the Nine Swords Venerable appeared on the table between the two of them, along with fine wine and delicacies.

"Iced fruit wine?" Yang Wu looked at the fine wine on the table and said with a smile, "Teacher, this pot of wine must cost ten treasure points, right? You're really generous!"

It should be noted that the Nine Swords Venerable has only been a Universe Venerable for a short time, so he naturally doesn't have many resources.

Even the two precious treasures prepared for Yang Wu were only worth a few treasure points. Now, they actually spent ten treasure points to buy a pot of ice fruit wine. It can be said that they went all out!

"Hahaha!" The Nine Swords Venerable laughed heartily, "Now that you have broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, you have become a true pillar of our human race. As your master, I naturally cannot be stingy!"

"Then this disciple should drink more!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

"That's a must!" A smile appeared on the face of the Nine Swords Venerable. "I exchanged this for you from the clan's treasury a few days ago. If it were me, I would never drink this kind of wine!"

In the past, the wealth of ten treasure points would have been equivalent to the accumulation of the Nine Swords Venerable over tens of thousands of epochs. How could he bear to buy a bottle of fine wine?

The Nine Swords Venerable poured Yang Wu a full cup of wine, then continued, "Disciple, after you become the Lord of the Universe, you should be in seclusion for a period of time, right? How come you still have time to come here?"

Yang Wu also picked up the wine pot and poured a full cup for the Nine Swords Venerable, then raised his cup and said, "If Master doesn't drink, it's no fun for me to drink alone!"

Seeing this, the Nine Swords Venerable could only raise his wine cup and clink glasses with Yang Wu in celebration.

Yang Wu downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, then set it down and said, "This disciple has indeed come to see Master on some other matters."

After saying that, Yang Wu waved his hand, and three treasures appeared in mid-air: a purple mountain peak, a disc that emitted starlight, and a crystal ball.

The mountain peak is the flying palace-type treasure "Purple Gold Peak", the disc is the domain-type treasure "Nine Star Sea", and the crystal ball is a trophy that Yang Wu obtained from Venerable Tianhua, a common soul-type treasure "Soul Suppressing Pearl"!

"Disciple, what is this...?" The Nine Swords Venerable stood up quickly, looking at the three supreme treasures in front of him in shock.

With his level of understanding, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of these treasures; the value of any one of them could probably surpass his entire fortune.

"Teacher!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "These three treasures are what you should have obtained during your trip to the Dulong Clan's secret realm. I secretly took the liberty of exchanging them for these three supreme treasures for you!"

"This...no way!" Nine Swords Venerable hurriedly refused.

With the Nine Swords Venerable's insight, how could he not know how much he should have gained in the secret realm? Even exchanging it for any one of the supreme treasures before him would probably be far from enough! Naturally, he was unwilling to accept these treasures!

"Teacher!" Yang Wu continued, "Now that I have become the Lord of the Universe, I'm afraid I've become a thorn in the side of the other three top races. Since they can't do anything to me, they might turn on you. These three treasures might be able to help you, so please don't refuse them!"

"Well... at worst, I'll just stay within the territory of my human race!" The Nine Swords Venerable said earnestly, "Disciple, you've just broken through to the level of a Universe Lord, and now is the time when you need to use your resources. You should keep these treasures and exchange them for treasures that suit you!"

Hearing the Nine Swords Venerable's words, Yang Wu was moved once again, and continued, "Master, I killed the Heavenly Flower Venerable of the Demon Clan, and he possessed many treasures. Moreover, after becoming the Lord of the Universe, my clan also bestowed upon me some gifts, so I am not lacking in resources at all. Please accept them!"

After much persuasion from Yang Wu, the Nine Swords Venerable finally accepted the three treasures he offered.

Next, Yang Wu and the Nine Swords Venerable drank and chatted.

Half a day later, Yang Wu finally got up to take his leave: "Master, this disciple will be leaving now!"

"Alright!" Nine Swords Venerable replied with a smile.

Yang Wu then walked out of the main hall and vanished in an instant.

As the Nine Swords Venerable watched Yang Wu leave, he stood there in silence for a long time.

He knew very well that his disciple had now grown to a higher level and would definitely become even stronger in the future!

Then, the Nine Swords Venerable infused his divine power into the three treasures he had just acquired. However, as the massive amount of information flooded into his mind after the treasures were recognized as his own, the Nine Swords Venerable was completely stunned.

"Palace-type treasures, domain-type treasures, and soul-type treasures!"

"My disciple is truly..."

Nine Swords Venerable stood there, unable to recover for a long time.

It should be noted that even among the most powerful beings in the universe, very few possess such a luxurious and precious treasure.

Just like the Venerable Guiyi in the original work, who possessed the strength of a cosmic overlord and was also the personal disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, yet he had never had a soul-type supreme treasure to protect him for countless years.

Nine Swords Venerable was merely a cosmic venerable who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of epochs. How could he have imagined that he would have the opportunity to possess such an amazing treasure?

The reason he has achieved all this is simply because he took in a disciple named Yang Wu, who was exceptionally talented, nearly ten thousand years ago!

"But this makes it even harder for me to leave human territory!" Nine Swords Venerable thought to himself.

If someone were to discover that a high-level cosmic venerable like him possesses so many supreme treasures, he would truly become a walking treasure trove!

……

On the other side, Yang Wu directly teleported through the Divine Kingdom to the Golden Light Starfield of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

This is the territory of Yang Wu's teacher, Marquis Jin Guang.

However, now Marquis Jinguang has been granted the title of the thirty-third king of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, becoming King Jinguang. Even his territory has expanded considerably. Even among those old-established kings and marquises, none can compare to him now.

However, the "king" here does not mean that Jin Guanghou has the strength of a king; it is merely a title within a universe.

Of course, back then, Marquis Jin Guang comprehended the sacred stele of the Golden Horn Clan. Now, nearly ten thousand years have passed, and his own strength has also improved significantly. He is now almost capable of passing through the sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

Because it was Yang Wu's first time visiting the Golden Light Starfield, after being teleported by the Divine Kingdom, he underwent another teleportation of tens of thousands of light-years before finally arriving at the Golden Light Marquis's hometown, Golden Light Star.

Meanwhile, Marquis Jin Guang was cultivating in seclusion on this Golden Star.

After all, not every genius can make breakthroughs in a short period of time like Yang Wu and others.

Nearly ten thousand years is insignificant to an immortal deity like Jin Guanghou, so he continued to cultivate diligently in his hometown.

"Teacher!" Yang Wu called softly from outside the palace of Marquis Jin Guang.

As for the Realm Lord-level experts guarding the palace, they were completely unaware of Yang Wu's figure.

Inside the palace, Marquis Jin Guang was contemplating a difficult point regarding the laws of space.

"Teacher!" A voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Huh?" Marquis Jin Guang suddenly stood up. "Is it Yang Wu?"

Seeing that Jin Guanghou had regained consciousness, Yang Wu had a thought and instantly appeared in front of Jin Guanghou.

Jin Guanghou looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared before him, his face full of surprise.

But after the initial surprise, a sense of unease crept into his heart, for Yang Wu had now become the most powerful and dominant being among the human race.

Logically speaking, given Jin Guanghou's strength and status, he should have no way of knowing that Yang Wu had become the Lord of the Universe.

But as Yang Wu's teacher, he naturally had good relations with some cosmic venerables, like the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom...
