Chapter 392: Initial Recognition of the Virtual Realm

At that time, because Ye Feng was eager to obtain that pseudo-virtual treasure for cultivating plants, he didn’t pay much attention to the ring filled with virtual treasures. After all, before he even got the ring in his hands, Nian Cangsheng had said that anything he couldn’t use was sealed off and beyond his reach.
Now, suddenly remembering, he thought he should check if there was anything in that ring he could use.
“I’ll call it over!” As Liu Luan spoke, a ring appeared before Ye Feng’s eyes.
“Little master is calling me?” A voice somewhat similar to Nian Cangsheng’s reached Ye Feng’s ears.
“Your voice is quite similar to my elder brother’s,” Ye Feng couldn’t help but laugh.
“Yes, ever since I was created by the master, I’ve been by his side. Over time, I got used to hearing this voice, and my own voice has changed as well,” the voice explained.
Ye Feng nodded, reached out, and held the ring in his right palm. “How many of the things left by my elder brother can I use?”
“Most of the things the master left are weapons, armor, and pills that you can’t use now, little master. There are also materials for refining weapons and pills, medicinal herbs, and many secret manuals for refining and pill-making—those were all taken by him. What remains that you can use are just some cultivation manuals. There are also some discarded fragments of virtual treasures and pseudo-virtual treasures, which you can’t use either.”
“Fragments of virtual treasures and pseudo-virtual treasures?” Ye Feng thought to himself. “I wonder if the repair privilege can fix them. If so, wouldn’t I have many more virtual and pseudo-virtual treasures? Anyway, it’s worth trying!”
“How many fragments are there in total?” Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask.
“In total, there are thirty-two fragments of virtual treasures of various sizes, with the highest-grade ones being top-quality fragments. Even higher-grade ones were taken by the master because the materials are too precious. In fact, several top-quality fragments were also taken by the master; only the useless ones were left behind,” Cangqiong replied. “There are only nine fragments of pseudo-virtual treasures.”
“Strange. Why didn’t my elder brother take these fragments? Logically, the raw materials in the fragments should be extractable, right?” Ye Feng was puzzled.

“It’s because the master doesn’t lack these materials, so there’s no need to waste time on extraction. The time it takes to extract one fragment is almost enough to refine a virtual treasure of the same grade.” Cangqiong had followed Nian Cangsheng for many years and knew quite a bit.

“I see!” Ye Feng nodded. “Cangqiong, can you give me all these fragments?”

“If the young master wants them, go ahead and take them. But they’re of little use to you.” Of course, Cangqiong wouldn’t object. Before it was transferred to Ye Feng, Nian Cangsheng had already instructed it to take good care of his younger brother. It would never defy Nian Cangsheng’s orders.

“I have to give them a try to see if they can be used!” Ye Feng smiled as he took out the fragments from his ring.

Ye Feng entered the Virtual Realm with the fragments in hand.

“Use the Ultimate Repair Privilege!” After entering the realm, he held a fragment of a virtual treasure and shouted.

“Ultimate Repair Privilege usage failed!”

“Warning! The item exceeds the scope of the Ultimate Repair Privilege!”

“Boom…” The sky inside the Virtual Realm instantly darkened, and even the Feather Emperor and the numerous crates vanished in an instant.

“What’s going on?” Ye Feng looked up at the sky. “Could it be that a power beyond the Virtual Realm has damaged it?”

Ye Feng felt uneasy.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind him. He turned around, his expression slightly stunned.

“We meet again!” The person greeted him with a smile.

“Don’t pretend to be me every time you appear!” Ye Feng frowned. He didn’t like the projection of the Virtual Realm, and the fact that it appeared exactly like him—same clothes, movements, expression, and tone—made him even more annoyed.

“I have no choice. You’re the authorized one, so I can only appear in your likeness,” the projection said carelessly with a smile.

Ye Feng suddenly realized how annoying his own indifferent expression must seem to others. He also replied indifferently, “You came to me on your own—must be something you want.”

“Don’t put it so bluntly,” the projection laughed. “I’m here mainly to do business with you and chat a bit as well.”

“Do business? Don’t you do business with me almost every day?” Ye Feng’s eyes darted around before settling on the fragment of the virtual treasure in his hand, and he began to suspect something.

“It seems you already know what I’m talking about!” The Void Domain projection saw his gaze fixed on the fragments of Void Treasures and didn’t hide it, merely smiling faintly.
“You want these fragments of Void Treasures?” A sly smile appeared on Ye Feng’s face. It was the first time he had something to rely on in front of the Void Domain, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride.
“That’s right!” The Void Domain projection nodded directly.
“What benefit can I get from this?” Ye Feng certainly planned to take advantage of the situation to extract as much as possible.
“If you give me these thirty-two fragments of Void Treasures, I’ll acknowledge you as my master on a preliminary basis.” These words from the Void Domain projection filled Ye Feng with anticipation.
“Only preliminarily? You should know that although these thirty-two fragments are incomplete, if reforged, their value is no less than that of over ten Void Treasures!” Ye Feng wasn’t willing to let this deal end so easily; he wanted to get more.
“With your current strength, I can only accept a preliminary acknowledgment—this is my bottom line.” A hint of helplessness flashed in the Void Domain projection’s eyes. “If it were your father, I would immediately and without hesitation acknowledge him as my master, as long as he wished to. But you… you’re still too weak…”
“My father?” Ye Feng was slightly stunned.
“The source of the Immortal Bloodline, the true master of the bloodline you inherit.” The Void Domain projection’s eyes were filled with reverence.
“You mean my godfather? Did you hear our conversation?” Ye Feng asked.
“I didn’t hear anything. I only sensed that time stopped for a while, but I didn’t know what happened. However, I know you’ve met. He even sealed some of my functions, which made me realize just how powerful he is.”
“The reason I acknowledge you as my master on a preliminary basis isn’t just because of these fragments of Void Treasures. This decision is also related to him. Moreover, I know your bloodline has evolved into the Immortal Bloodline. No matter what happens, the possibility of your downfall is very low—this is also a factor in my decision.” The Void Domain projection explained in detail. “If it weren’t for this, I might consider giving you one fragment in exchange for the highest privilege.”
“If you need it, I can also help you use those fragments to create a growth-type pseudo-Void Treasure that you can use right away, allowing it to grow up to the level of a pseudo-Void Treasure. In the future, I can also help you raise it to the level of a true Void Treasure.” The Void Treasure projection hesitated for a moment before adding.
“I understand what you mean. You just want to acknowledge the strong and look down on the weak,” Ye Feng said with a smirk.
“It’s not just strong—it’s the strongest!” the Void Domain projection said seriously.

“But in the hands of the strongest, you’re nothing but a mere virtual treasure. Even the most powerful virtual treasures can’t catch their attention,” Ye Feng sighed lightly. “They can create one at will.”
“I’m not just a mere virtual treasure…” A hint of sadness flashed in the projection of the Virtual Realm, but no further words followed.
A sense of doubt arose in Ye Feng’s mind. He clearly saw that sadness. “How could it have human sorrow?”
“Why seek the strongest?” Ye Feng suppressed his doubts and asked the question.
“To seek revenge!” The projection of the Virtual Realm lowered its head.
“Revenge?” Ye Feng immediately felt that things were becoming strange.
“Yes, revenge for the murder of my father!” The projection raised its head and looked at Ye Feng. “That’s why I’ve been changing hosts over the years, in search of someone who can help me kill my enemy!”
“Your father?” Ye Feng was slightly stunned. “You mean the one who created you?”
“Yes!” The projection nodded. “Not long after he created me, he was killed by his senior brother, who wanted to seize me. I managed to escape by self-destructing. It took hundreds of billions of years for my consciousness to gradually recover, but only the core part remained intact, turning me into a defective item. Even if I were repaired to 100%, it would be unlikely to regain my original functions unless I evolved.”
“How much have you repaired over the years?” Ye Feng asked.
“Less than 10%!” the projection admitted. “With these fragments, I can repair it to about 13%. But its rank has dropped. To raise it again, I’d have to complete 100% repair first and then add higher-grade materials to re-create myself.”
“Just over 30 fragments for a 3% increase?” Ye Feng was speechless. “It seems it will take thousands of fragments to get it back to 100%.”
“If the fragments are of higher grade, the increase would be greater. Besides, some of these fragments are just scraps—there’s no main body left. Only the materials are somewhat useful to me,” the projection said helplessly.
“Alright, since you seem so pitiful, I agree to give you these materials. But you have to tell me what the benefits of becoming my master are!” Only then did Ye Feng agree.

“After initially claiming ownership, you can purchase anything in domains lower than the current one you’ve unlocked without any cost, but only three times per day per domain,” the Virtual Domain projection replied with a smile. “In other words, you can now unlock the fourth domain, the Divine Realm, allowing you to purchase everything from the first three domains three times for free each day. And you can see all the items in these three domains.”
“Uh, isn’t this pretty much the same as not having claimed ownership?” Ye Feng rolled his eyes. “My domain value in the third domain is already in the trillions. What can’t I buy?”
“That’s not quite right. There are some special items that you can’t buy even with a high domain value. But now you can get them for free!” The Virtual Domain projection pointed seriously at a category in the third domain.
Ye Feng read it out word by word: “Perfect woman at the peak of the demi-god realm…”
Under that category was a stunningly beautiful woman, completely naked…
“Can I buy this too???” Ye Feng stared at the Virtual Domain projection with wide eyes.
“It’s free time now…” The Virtual Domain projection winked at Ye Feng.
