Chapter 128: Nurture, World Tree

The main reason why Venerable Yulan came this time was to invite Shen Mu to join Hongmeng.

Now that the business was done, Venerable Yulan stood up to say goodbye, and Shen Mu personally saw him off.

After Venerable Yulan left, Shen Mu returned to the study and began to check the detailed information of Hongmeng.

Hongmeng does not have a real base in the original universe, and only has a Hongmeng headquarters in the virtual universe.

In the exclusive plane of Hongmeng, there is a galaxy consisting of more than three million stars, and each star corresponds to a formal member of Hongmeng.

In the center of this galaxy, there is a vast and magnificent ancient city, which is even more majestic than the Chaos City in the original universe. It is Hongmeng City.

There is a strict hierarchy here - status is determined based on strength and contribution, and those with higher status naturally enjoy more power.

The strength of the official members of Hongmeng is always determined based on their record. The stronger the record, the higher the strength classification.

The division here is according to one star, two stars, three stars... up to seven stars.

Every member who has just joined the Hongmeng is a star.

Afterwards, the 'Hongmeng City Subsystem' of the virtual universe system will automatically determine the battle record and strength based on the actual battle record, and divide the levels accordingly.

One star, this is the level for those who have just joined the Hong Alliance, and it is usually the ordinary level for becoming an immortal king.

For example, primary title to king and advanced title to king are both considered ordinary titles to king.

Two-stars are considered powerful among the kings. Generally, those who have fully comprehended the highest changes of a higher law are two-star members.

Three stars is the limit for becoming a king. Taking into account genes and amplitude-related secret techniques, the final strength is at least 10 times that of the peak of becoming a king.

Four Stars, the most initial level of the Universe Venerable, people like Zhenyan King can also be classified into this level.

The five-star and six-star ones that follow are all powerful ones among the universe’s masters.

As for the last seven stars, they are the initial level of the Lord of the Universe. The strong people at this level of the Lord of the Universe are also considered seven stars.

Further up are the hall masters of the Hongmeng Hall, who are beyond the Seven Stars and each of them is a true master of the universe.

"The range of these seven stars is too outrageous."

"Ordinary universe overlords and new universe masters are completely different levels, yet they can both be rated as seven stars."

Shen Mu felt that this division was unreasonable, as ordinary cosmic overlords and the strong ones among cosmic overlords were two different levels.

Not to mention being comparable to the top cosmic overlords and the masters who have just entered the universe?
Top overlords like the Lord of Sky Eclipse Palace and the Strongest World Tree can annihilate ordinary overlords with a single move.

Unless the opponent is protected by a high-level defensive treasure, or has an extremely large divine body, he will surely die if you strike him with all your strength.

Beings of this level are basically at the same level in terms of combat power as the strong men who have just entered the Lord of the Universe.

As a result, these levels of strong people are collectively called the Seven Stars together with the existence of the Lord who has just entered the universe.

I can only say that it is unreasonable, very unreasonable.

Shen Mu checked his own strength division, and then unexpectedly discovered that he had two identities.

One is the identity of the Earthling himself, a one-star member of the Hongmeng.

The other is the 'Silver Sand King' disguised as the incarnation of the Yanshen clan, and is a three-star member of the Hongmeng.

This is the treatment that Luo Feng did not even have in the original novel.

"Let's go to Hongmeng first and see if there are any treasures I need."

The expansion of Shen Mu's internal world has now reached a bottleneck. If he wants to continue expanding, he needs to devour and absorb many precious treasures.

Although this treasure is of high quality, it is not something that can only be purchased at high prices.

However, treasures of this level are rarely seen on the market and are not sold publicly in the virtual universe’s internal mall. If you want to buy them, you can only wait for those high-level auctions.

Taking this opportunity, Shen Mu planned to go to Hongmeng to take a look. After all, Hongmeng was a gathering place for many ethnic groups and powerful people, and there was a high probability that it had the treasure that Shen Mu needed.

……

The outer city of Hongmeng City.

There are more than 300 million powerful kings living here, all of whom are 1 to 3 stars.

As for the strong ones above three stars, they are qualified to enter the inner city of Hongmeng City.

These more than 300 million powerful kings were assigned to small communities, with each community having a maximum of 1 people.

hum!
In a living room that was a kilometer in size, Shen Mu's figure appeared out of nowhere.

"This body... is so weak."

Shen Mu sensed himself slightly. In the Hongmeng plane, the bodies of all the strong men were only at the apprentice level.

At the same time Shen Mu descended upon the Hongmeng plane, one of the countless stars surrounding the Hongmeng plane came into existence.

"Master, I just received a message. This will be your residence in Hongmeng City from now on. You can edit the style of the residence at will."

The soft and sticky sound of Tuanzi rang in Shen Mu's ears.

"It's just that the specifications of all the houses are fixed, and the maximum area is 3200 square meters."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's go and take a walk first."

When you walk out of your residence, what comes into view is a quiet and spacious community. The houses are of different styles, but they are all two-story buildings.

On both sides of the street, one can see many powerful beings that are different from humans communicating with each other, including rock and energy life forms, which is rare in the virtual universe company.

After Shen Mu walked out of the community, he officially began to wander around Hongmeng City.

In the magnificent ancient city, Shen Mu walked on the wide streets as the Silver Sand King, wearing a golden battle armor with three stars on the cuffs.

On both sides of the street, groups of strong men from various ethnic groups were chatting and laughing with each other. Although they were from different ethnic groups, one could feel that the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In a trance, Shen Mu had a sense of déjà vu that he had lived on Earth in his previous life.

People come and go here, laughing at each other. There is no strong aura or pressure, and no powerful people who are high above others.

Here, no matter whether it is the Lord of the Universe or more powerful beings, they only have the body of an apprentice.

A faint smile appeared on Shen Mu's face for no reason.

After rebirth and embarking on the path of cultivation again, Shen Mu felt a sense of relaxation for the first time. Moreover, he felt a long-lost feeling in the city where countless powerful kings gathered.

"I was a little uncomfortable with the sudden loss of power, but I didn't expect... this would be quite interesting."

Shen Mu had a faint smile on his face and began to tour Hongmeng City.

"That person... looks familiar, but I don't think I've seen him before."

"It's King Silver Sand, the lucky guy who got a treasure in Yanji Continent."

"He is indeed a three-star expert."

Although Shen Mu's identity as King of Silver Sand has only been around for a short time, he has become famous throughout the entire Seventh Domain Extraterritorial Battlefield because of the previous purple bell incident.

I don’t know how many people have seen Shen Mu’s virtual image, so it’s not surprising that he was recognized.

"green!"

A familiar voice was heard, and Shen Mu turned around and saw that it was King Ye Chen, who was barely considered a good friend in Barracks No. 026.

"Yechen." Shen Mu responded with a smile.

King Yechen walked to Shen Mu's side carelessly and said, "This is the first time I see you in the Hongmeng plane." Shen Mu smiled and nodded, "This is indeed my first time in the Hongmeng plane. After all, it has only been a few hundred years since I broke through to immortality."

After hearing this, King Yechen was slightly startled and said, "Qing, are you the legendary super genius cultivated by the five giant forces, the kind who will be crowned as an immortal king once he breaks through?"

Similar to the top realm masters of the Original Secret Realm and the Giant Axe Secret Realm, they possess the attainments of the 18th level of Tongtian Bridge. Once this kind of genius breaks through immortality, his divine body will be condensed to the level of being crowned as a king.

"What super genius? Who among those who can enter Hongmeng was not a genius once?" Shen Mu said with a smile.

Seeing Shen Mu change the subject, King Yechen laughed and did not continue asking questions.

"Come on, since this is your first time in Hongmeng City, I'll take you around."

In Hongmeng City, the residents at the lowest level are all powerful kings. The city where countless strong men gather is naturally very developed. Scenes that are rarely seen in ordinary times can be seen everywhere here.

There are all kinds of businesses including large spaceship transactions, plant life, metal life transactions, strong man hiring business, special item appraisal business, large auction houses, etc.

In addition, there are various entertainment venues, such as gambling, bars, etc., and even...romantic venues.

Soon, Shen Mu followed King Yechen into a special dance hall.

Countless people danced to each other to the unique and seductive music.

"Yechen!"

"Xiao Ye Ye is here."

"Hey, Xiao Ye Ye brought a new friend this time!"

It was obvious that King Yechen was a frequent visitor to the dance hall. After entering here, many familiar beauties came over to him.

"Let's go to another place?" Shen Mu looked at King Yechen and said.

Shen Mu didn't understand why there were so many romantic places in the virtual universe.

This is a fucking virtual universe. What's the difference between doing these things and playing ** under the nose of the virtual universe's intelligence?

As if he could see what Shen Mu was thinking, King Yechen said with a smile: "Although this is a virtual universe, no one would be so idle as to snoop into the privacy of a group of immortal kings."

Having said that, King Yechen still took Shen Mu to visit other places in Hongmeng City.

On the street, Shen Mu pointed at a magnificent palace in the distance and said, "Is that Yubao Hall?"

King Yechen nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that you have also heard of the name of Yubaotang."

"It is said that Yubao Hall was opened by a great master among our human race. It has a wide variety of treasures and the prices are very reasonable."

On the first floor of Yubaotang, there are treasures numbering in the billions, with the lowest price being at the level of one million Hunyuan units and the highest being hundreds of billions of Hunyuan units.

There are all kinds of treasures here, and everything is for sale.

Shen Mu even saw "special treasures" on sale, such as the living Zerg Queen, the twelve peak bloodlines of star beasts, and various other powerful alien bloodlines.

However, among the twelve peak bloodlines of the star beasts, the golden-horned beast was not seen.

"Are the number of golden-horned beasts less than the other eleven peak bloodlines?"

Shen Mu looked at King Yechen beside him with some confusion.

King Yechen explained: "Generally, people who buy this kind of peak bloodline lifeforms do so for their descendants or disciples to possess..."

Although it is difficult to take over the peak bloodline, there are also ways to do it.

For example, in the original novel, Luo Feng only needed a soul seal to inherit the body of the golden-horned beast.

"Among them, the golden-horned beast, which has the talent of splitting into two bodies, is the most sought-after. It is usually put up for auction for all the powerful to bid on."

Shen Mu nodded slightly when he heard this, and then walked around Yubao Hall for two or three hours.

Within these two or three hours, Shen Mu purchased a large number of treasures and consumed nearly 4 trillion Hunyuan units.

Such a generous gesture made King Yechen, who was standing by, extremely envious.

……

Initial universe, Chaos City.

Inside the iceberg courtyard, Shen Mu sat cross-legged, his attention completely focused on the world inside his body.

In the world inside the body, above the Tianchi Lake on the sacred mountain, countless precious water-attributed treasures were swallowed up by the Tianchi Lake and transformed into endless crystal mist droplets that spread out.

Then these pure energies were absorbed by the inner world, and the inner world began to expand wildly!

While digesting the water-attributed treasures, strands of special, indigestible water-attributed energy transformed into an incomparably pure essence and merged into the Tianchi Lake on the sacred mountain.

As time goes by, Shenshan Tianchi becomes more vast and tranquil, and the water quality is also undergoing special changes in the process.

hum!
As more and more treasures were swallowed, the water in the entire Tianchi Lake became comparable to the extremely precious water-attributed divine liquid.

Just one drop is enough to allow those lives that do not have the talent of the law of the origin of water to obtain excellent talent of the law.

Boom!

Suddenly, the entire Shenshan Tianchi shook violently.

Then, endless divine water surged and gathered, and condensed into a crystal clear and round gem above the deep vortex in the center of the Tianchi Lake.

The gem shone brightly, as if reflecting Shen Mu's entire inner world.

"Is this orb...similar to the Golden Horn Boundary Stone?"

Shen Mu was also a little uncertain. After all, his East China Sea Azure Dragon clone was too special and there was no reference object to compare it with.

However, the function of his own sacred mountain Tianchi is no different from that of the Golden Horn Boundary Stone. This treasure should be the essence of Tianchi.

"The expansion of the inner world has slowed down. As expected, it must have crossed some kind of bottleneck to condense this water orb."

Continuing to devour numerous precious G-level water treasures, Shen Mu felt that the speed of his nucleus improvement had become many times slower than before.

As for the expansion of the inner world, it has slowed down countless times, but the diameter of the inner world still crosses the watershed of 10 billion kilometers.

"Now, should we be able to breed the World Tree?"

Generally speaking, if the diameter of the internal world reaches 100 million kilometers, it is enough to carry special life with a thousand times more genes.

However, the genetic level of the world tree at the realm master level is more than a thousand times, so Luo Feng in the original book failed to conceive.

If Luo Feng waited until the world inside his body was strengthened by the original universe and reached a diameter of one trillion kilometers before giving birth to it, he would definitely not fail.

"I'll try to see if I can get pregnant."

Shen Mu's mind moved, and he once again took out the emerald-like leaf of the World Tree.

After splitting into two again, he directly activated his innate secret clone.

Boom!

The entire world inside my body shook.

Endless energy from the origin of the universe rushed madly into the sky from the Tianchi Lake on the sacred mountain, enveloping the lush green leaves.

In a flash, the leaves of the World Tree instantly turned into a mist formation, leaving only the most basic life substance and Shen Mu's original power to merge together.

hum!
A special wave spread out, and then a giant blue egg condensed out.

At the same time, a message was conveyed that the clone of the World Tree was being conceived!

Gestation time, 1800!
