King Slow Chaos sent a message, saying, "King Verdant End, you are truly formidable. How long has it been since you became an Immortal, and not only are your defensive methods excellent, but now you've even comprehended the 'Space Teleportation' profound mystery."
"It's estimated that even Limit stage King-Level Immortals who haven't comprehended the 'Space Lockdown' profound mystery can't do anything to you."
Finally, King Slow Chaos sent a message asking, "I really want to know, how much did Marquis Ya Yu pay to have you, a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal, rescue him?"
"I paid all my cash, a total of 30 million Mixed units," Marquis Ya Yu quickly replied. "King Slow Chaos, you wouldn't think that a powerhouse like King Verdant End would have a rescue fee lower than 10 million Mixed units, would you?"
"Heh, quite a hefty price, isn't it?" King Slow Chaos sneered. "It seems your cash flow, Marquis Ya Yu, has been emptied. So, who will you invite to save you next time?"
"King Slow Chaos, aren't you going to scram? Is it fun to sow discord here?" At this moment, Ender interjected with a cold voice message.
"King Verdant End, whether I leave or not is not up to you," King Slow Chaos scoffed. "Although your defensive methods are excellent and you've comprehended the 'Space Teleportation' profound mystery, your attack power is famously weak.
"What, with your attack power, which is only at the King-level Low Stage, you want to kill me?"
"King Slow Chaos, you are provoking me..." Ender's eyes were cold. "You should know the consequences of provoking a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal!"
Upon hearing this, King Slow Chaos's expression immediately stiffened, and then he said awkwardly, "Alright, King Verdant End, I said the wrong thing just now. I hope you don't mind."
"I've already remembered what you said," Ender sent a cold message, releasing a surge of World Energy to teleport Marquis Ya Yu away.
Seeing Ender and Marquis Ya Yu disappear with the spatial ripples, King Slow Chaos's expression fluctuated between dark and light. "Damn it, I shouldn't have been so talkative. Now that I've offended King Verdant End, I'll be in trouble later!"
He knew very well that King Verdant End was a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal. Even though his current attack power was very weak, only at the King-level Low Stage, with his Law comprehension level, once he perfected his attack secret technique, it would definitely reach the Pinnacle Stage King-Level.
For him, a High Stage King-Level Immortal in a dangerous place like the Extraterritorial Battlefield, being targeted by a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal who can use Space Teleportation, was absolutely a disaster!
"If I can't afford to provoke him, can't I at least hide?" King Slow Chaos muttered, "Even if King Verdant End has astonishing talent, it will take at least 5,000 years to create a Pinnacle Stage King-Level-level attack secret technique."
"I'll hunt for another 5,000 years, and then directly return to the Demon Clan Territory. I don't believe King Verdant End would dare to kill me in the Demon Clan Territory."
"While there are still 5,000 years, I'll hunt more in the Endless Island Secret Realm to accumulate wealth. It's too difficult to accumulate wealth so quickly in the Demon Clan Territory."
After making up his mind, King Slow Chaos connected his consciousness to the detector and began to check the whereabouts of Marquis-level Immortal from the opposing factions nearby.
...
After several consecutive Space Teleportations, Ender brought Marquis Ya Yu to the edge of the central area of the Endless Island Secret Realm.
He connected his consciousness to the detector and, seeing that there were no King-level Immortal within a billion-kilometer radius, he asked, "Marquis Ya Yu, it's safe here now. You can return to the Barracks Base on your own."
"King Verdant End, thank you for coming to my rescue," Marquis Ya Yu first thanked him, then added, "Please give me a bank account number, and I'll transfer the 30 million Mixed units as payment."
Ender frowned slightly and said, "Marquis Ya Yu, you only need to pay the normal 10 million Mixed units."
"King Verdant End," Marquis Ya Yu shook his head, "If you hadn't arrived in such a short time, I would have lost a large amount of Immortal Energy, and it would take countless resources to recover that Immortal Energy."
"Compared to precious Immortal Energy, 30 million Mixed units truly isn't much; it's just all the cash I possess."
Marquis Ya Yu smiled and said, "So, you must accept these 30 million Mixed units."
Upon hearing this, Ender carefully sensed Marquis Ya Yu's aura and found that his aura was noticeably weaker, indicating that his Immortal Energy loss had clearly exceeded the 10% threshold, and his strength was no longer in perfect condition.
Seeing this, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll accept these 30 million Mixed units."
After sending his bank account to Marquis Ya Yu, two seconds later, he received a notification from Little Dawn that 30 million Mixed units had arrived.
"King Verdant End, my Immortal Energy loss this time exceeded 10%, so I need to return to leave the Extraterritorial Battlefield for recuperation. I'll take my leave now."
As his voice fell, Marquis Ya Yu was enveloped by an endless radiance, followed by spatial fluctuations, which was the effect of Divine Kingdom Teleportation.
Of course, with Marquis Ya Yu's status as a Pinnacle Stage Marquis-level Immortal, he must have cultivated an Immortal Plant Life. The Divine Kingdom Teleportation he used now was most likely performed by his auxiliary Immortal Plant Life.
After Marquis Ya Yu left via Divine Kingdom Teleportation, Ender sighed inwardly, "With a loss of over 10% of his Immortal Energy, it will probably take Marquis Ya Yu hundreds of thousands of years to recover to his Pinnacle state."
From Immortal to Universe Master, all are Divine Body life forms, with energy and life imprints integrated. Every tiny cell fragment contains a Soul imprint (mental imprint). Losing Immortal Energy means losing life imprints, and the more life imprints are lost, the greater the impact on strength.
Correspondingly, excessive Immortal Energy loss will affect recovery, as Soul loss of that magnitude recovers very slowly.
When Immortal Energy loss exceeds 90%, an Immortal will fall into a deep slumber, losing self-awareness. They might slowly recover during this long slumber, or they might continuously deplete until they perish.
"If I had a Clone, even if the main battle Clone lost a lot of Immortal Energy, I could transfer Immortal Energy through the Clone to restore its state."
Ender thought to himself, "Clearly, Marquis Ya Yu doesn't have a Clone, so he can only use a long period of time to recover his Immortal Energy. The prices of treasures that restore Immortal Energy are astonishing, and he can't afford to buy and consume them."
After sighing, he made multiple Space Teleportations to a safe location, then had the Cloud Vine use Divine Kingdom Teleportation to return to the Hongwu Secret Realm.
...
Hongwu Secret Realm, Barracks Base No. 123.
"Seventh Senior Brother said he would try to sell the Glazed Star Gold within a thousand years, but the exact time will still depend on when the funds arrive."
In the quiet room of the villa, Ender sat cross-legged on a soft carpet, formulating his upcoming Cultivation plan. "In terms of Law comprehension, I have already reached the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge. Now, all I lack are combat secret techniques."
"I won't be attempting the Tongtian Bridge right now, so the claw-type secret technique 'Void-Rend' temporarily doesn't need to be perfected or created."
He muttered, "The secret techniques that need to be perfected and created now are 'Eternal Sky' and 'Shadow Escape'."
'Shadow Escape' is a flying secret technique he created based on the flying Spirit Weapon, 'Shadow Shuttle'.
Thinking of this, Ender frowned slightly. "As of now, the difficulty of creating and perfecting 'Shadow Escape' is too high, because 'Shadow Shuttle' can no longer keep up with my current Law comprehension. However, improving 'Shadow Shuttle' is not something that can be done overnight."
With his Artifact Refining techniques, refining an eighth-tier Spirit Weapon should be a cinch. The problem, however, is designing and refining a weapon from scratch; this is by no means something that can be done in a short time, requiring a lot of time for trial and error and perfection.
That's right, the Legacy knowledge he obtained, 'Infernal Forge Artifact Refining Technique', contained many explanations on refining Heavy Treasure, but the problem was that he couldn't understand any of it!
The reason was simple: the refining explanations in 'Infernal Forge Artifact Refining Technique' were too advanced!
Ender was currently only a World Master, and his Law comprehension was only at the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge. He simply couldn't understand the secret pattern diagrams of Heavy Treasure; he could only barely observe the refining techniques.
But the problem was that the refining techniques were largely similar; the real difficulty lay in understanding secret patterns, designing secret patterns, and designing treasures.
For instance, a third-tier weapon used by a Universe Level, a World Master or Domain Master who knows a bit of Artifact Refining techniques, can refine it after thoroughly studying the blueprint structure, because it doesn't involve Law secret patterns, only simple amplification secret patterns.
However, for fourth-tier weapons, since some fourth-tier weapons have Law secret patterns, they need to be refined by an Immortal, or a more capable World Master.
Because normally, World Masters only begin to comprehend Law. Even a fourth-tier Spirit Weapon containing the most common Law secret patterns would require a World Master at the seventh or eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge to refine.
Later, fifth-tier, sixth-tier, seventh-tier... up to Pinnacle Heavy Treasure, the secret patterns required for refining become progressively more difficult. He would need to become a Universe Venerable at least to refine Heavy Treasure!
Therefore, a high-level Artifact Refiner's strength and Realm will certainly not be too low.
For example, 'Craftsman God Master', who can refine top-tier Heavy Treasure in the Original Universe, is a Universe Master!
"I have already comprehended Space Teleportation. Whether in pursuit or escape, there won't be many situations where 'Shadow Shuttle' can be used. Therefore, the only secret technique that truly needs to be perfected and created is 'Eternal Sky', this Pinnacle Immortal secret technique."
Ender muttered, "If I can conceive the fourth form, 'Thunderbolt', in the conceptualization of 'Eternal Sky', then I can try to combine these four forms of secret techniques to create a more profound secret technique."
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe, heading to the Special Space to create secret techniques. At the same time, a small portion of his consciousness remained in his body to Cultivate the 'Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body'.
Ever since he noticed that the Cultivation speed of the 'Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body' had slowed down, he would leave a small portion of his consciousness during subsequent secret technique creation, so that his human main body could Cultivate this amplification secret technique.
Although multitasking would affect the speed at which he created secret techniques, it ensured that the 'Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body' was constantly progressing.
This rate of progress gave him hope of increasing his body amplification to an astonishing 50 times during his World Master stage, which would be enough to activate the third form of the Frost Armor and gain stronger protective capabilities.
While Ender's human main body was Cultivating, his three Clones each performed their duties, continuing their research and comprehension of Space Law.
...
83 years later.
During Ender's seclusion at the Barracks Base, the King-level Immortal of the four factions updated King Verdant End's information; the news of him comprehending the 'Space Teleportation' profound mystery had spread.
Hongwu Secret Realm, Barracks Base No. 121.
In a private room of a bar in the rest and entertainment area, two Immortal, whose forms were clearly not human, were drinking special beverages.
The aura and pressure of these two Immortal were solid; even though they were restrained, it was still clear that they were Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal.
"According to the newly obtained information, King Verdant End has indeed comprehended the 'Space Teleportation' profound mystery. Coupled with his excellent defensive methods, he is an extremely troublesome type among Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal."
A Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal, shaped like a hawk, sent a message, "Even Limit stage King-Level Immortals, if they haven't comprehended the 'Space Teleportation' or 'Space Lockdown' profound mysteries, probably wouldn't want to be entangled with King Verdant End."
"From the information, King Verdant End is indeed very remarkable. The only drawback is that his combat secret techniques are not perfected, and his attack power is too weak."
Another Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal, shaped like an upright black bear with skin like cast metal, sent a message, "However, his weak attack power is just right for us. If his attack power were too strong, it would be difficult for us to invite him to join."
"Indeed, a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal with excellent defensive methods, who has comprehended the 'Space Teleportation' profound mystery, and also has decent attack power, has almost no weaknesses. If he participates, he would definitely overshadow us."
The Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like a hawk sent a message, "We lost two Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal in our last exploration, and the Demon race lost three Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal. This time, it will be very difficult to explore the entire Legacy."
"Difficult or not, we must continue the exploration!"
The Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like an upright black bear said with conviction, "The treasures we obtained last time were quite valuable, and that was without reaching the core area. If we can explore the core area, then..."
Upon hearing this, the Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like a hawk showed a fanatical look in his eyes, "Those natives are truly blind. They actually used the Void Realm crystal, such a treasure, as tribute and stored it in the internal tribute room."
The Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like an upright black bear glanced at him and said, "Although Void Realm crystal is precious, don't forget, the treasures we obtained last time were several times more valuable than those 20 kilograms of Void Realm crystal!"
"Of course I know!" The Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like a hawk's eyes were still fanatical. "But you can't deny that the core area also has a tribute room, and there might be even more Void Realm crystal. If there's a ton or even more, then the value..."
The Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like an upright black bear sent a message, "It would probably be enough to exchange for a Heavy Treasure!"
"Let's invite King Verdant End. According to our agreement with the Demon race, each side can only have three King-level Immortal for this exploration."
The Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like a hawk sent a message, "With King Verdant End's defensive methods, he will definitely be able to help us explore the core area."
"Alright, I'll invite King Verdant End now," the Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like an upright black bear nodded, then sent a message with some confusion, "I wonder what's going on with the Demon race side; they actually proposed setting the exploration time for 1,000 years later."
"Heh heh, they're probably looking for trustworthy helpers, after all, all three Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal he brought in perished," the Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like a hawk replied first, then asked, "How is it, has King Verdant End accepted your invitation?"
The Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like an upright black bear shook his head slightly, "Not yet, he's probably in secluded Cultivation."
The Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal shaped like a hawk sent a message, "No hurry, there are still 1,000 years until the next exploration. We still have time to wait. If King Verdant End hasn't responded after 800 years, we'll find someone else."
"That works too."
...
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island Central Mountains, inside a palace on the mountainside.
"Haha, Junior Brother, you're in luck. Venerable Golden Axe has been acquiring Glazed Star Gold recently, and your Glazed Star Gold has now been bought by Venerable Golden Axe."
Venerable Lingtu, sitting on the throne, smiled and said, "Venerable Golden Axe knew that this Glazed Star Gold was being sold by you, so he specifically raised the price a bit. So, your gain this time is..."
