Chapter 697: A Blank Check from the Virtual Realm

Several dozen days later, the Virtual Realm finally consumed all those peak-level and supreme virtual treasures whose consciousnesses had been erased. The restoration completion rate, as predicted by the Virtual Realm’s projection, reached 44%, an increase of five percentage points.

“Once the restoration rate exceeds 40%, the domain master’s privileges are upgraded.”

“The upgrades are as follows: 1. The number of free items available in the domain master’s domain increases to twenty per day. 2. Three times every thousand years, the domain master can obtain items one rank above their current privileges. Time flow is based on the domain master’s own realm; time acceleration is not included. (Since the Seventh and Eighth Domains have not yet been unlocked, these upgrades cannot be utilized for now.)”

Seeing these upgrades, Ye Feng was somewhat speechless, as they were practically unattainable. With his current strength, he should be able to unlock the Eighth Domain, meaning he could obtain twenty free items from it every day. But right now, not only was the Eighth Domain unopened, even the Seventh Domain wasn’t accessible, so there were no items to take. Let alone items from the Ninth Domain, which was far beyond his current reach—its unlocking date was unknown. It was better not to even mention these upgrades, as they would only increase frustration.

However, Ye Feng suddenly thought, “The Seventh Domain isn’t unlocked yet, but my cultivation level is equivalent to that of an Eighth Domain domain master. That means I have the privileges of the Eighth Domain. So, can I freely obtain items from the Sixth Domain’s spiritual realm for free?”

“Yes!” The Virtual Realm’s projection replied affirmatively.

“Then fine, continue.” Ye Feng knew that with the five percentage point increase in restoration rate, he might still receive some special rewards.

“The restoration completion rate has increased by 5%. Please confirm whether to exchange it for the Supreme Privilege or the Ultimate Comprehension Privilege?”

“The Ultimate Comprehension Privilege!” Ye Feng chose without hesitation. To rapidly improve his cultivation, the Comprehension Privilege was undoubtedly the fastest path.

“You have obtained the Ultimate Comprehension Privilege ten times!”

“Since the privilege upgrade cannot yet allow the domain master to experience its full benefits, three additional Supreme Blessing Privileges are granted, and all of the domain master’s virtual treasures are upgraded to peak-level virtual treasures for free.”

Hearing this, Ye Feng was slightly satisfied. Though it was his first time hearing of the Supreme Blessing Privilege, he could roughly guess it was similar to the effects of a realm blessing.

He clicked on the Privileges section. Under the “Supreme Comprehension Privilege” was the “Supreme Blessing Privilege.” The number next to the Comprehension Privilege had changed from fifty to sixty, while the number next to the Supreme Blessing Privilege was three.

When he opened the Supreme Blessing Privilege, the description read, “Blessings from the main plane last for three days each time. When used together with the Supreme Comprehension Privilege, it can increase the comprehension effect by two to five hundred times, with results varying from person to person.”

“This Supreme Blessing Privilege is truly useful. I need to obtain more of them to use in combination with the Comprehension Privilege,” Ye Feng thought, feeling delighted after reading the description.

While Ye Feng was checking the privileges, those items that were originally just top-tier virtual treasures had been upgraded to peak virtual treasure level by the Virtual Realm.

Ye Feng also knew that only if the repair rate exceeded 45% could the Virtual Realm help him upgrade these virtual treasures to the strongest level. His next goal was simple: gather as many peak and strongest virtual treasures as possible to boost the repair rate.

Meanwhile, Luo Yan and Yin Ling’er, who were crafting blood zombies in the Refining Realm, had also completed their tasks. Although only a little over a month had passed in the outside world, time in the Refining Realm was accelerated by ten thousand times. Luo Yan completed the process in just one day outside time—eight blood zombies at the True Realm level and twenty-seven at the Semi-True Realm level were all brought into his universe. Normally, his universe couldn’t accommodate beings from the main plane, but the vampires had special techniques that allowed their universe to hold the blood zombies and descendants they created.

Yin Ling’er and the others hadn’t turned all those twenty-plus thousand corpses into blood zombies, as each one required a great deal of effort and time. So, they only selected those at the Cave Void level, with each person getting over thirty. As for the remaining corpses, Yin Ling’er and the others originally planned to discard them, but Ye Feng took them all and fed them to the two female worms. These two female worms were only at the Star Sea level and hadn’t improved much due to a lack of food. But now that Ye Feng had the right to obtain items from the sixth realm for free, he provided them with an abundance of food. With the accelerated time in the Refining Realm, it wouldn’t be long before they could start devouring these corpses from the virtual realm.

After confirming that everything was progressing smoothly, Ye Feng finally remembered his elder brother, Nian Cangsheng, who was still in the virtual realm. With a flash, he took Luo Yan and the others to Nian Cangsheng’s residence.

Ye Feng could tell at a glance that the mansion was an ultimate virtual treasure, likely created by Nian Cangsheng himself, as it seemed he only possessed one such treasure.
“Elder brother, I’m here to see you!” Ye Feng sent a message inside the mansion.
A moment later, Nian Cangsheng rushed out, his face full of surprise. Upon seeing Ye Feng, he was stunned. “Third brother, with your current cultivation level… how is it that you can even hide it from me?”
“After you left that day, I participated in another competition among the strong and got a chance for enlightenment. During that enlightenment, I also received blessings from the main plane. As a result, my cultivation soared, reaching the Break Truth Realm right away.” Ye Feng had no reason to hide his true strength from Nian Cangsheng and revealed everything.
“I truly can’t envy such good fortune,” Nian Cangsheng said with a smile, shaking his head. “What are your plans now? Do you intend to stay here for a while or ascend to a higher main plane directly?”
“I need to stay for a while first, because there are some things I must find in the virtual realm—things that won’t be available in the real realm.” Ye Feng knew exactly what he needed.
“What do you lack? Let me see if I have it here,” Nian Cangsheng asked immediately.
“Right now, I need one divine skill each in the art of blades and swords, and I’m short of five martial arts skills. I also need to nurture a special treasure within me, which requires some peak-level and ultimate virtual treasures as nourishment. Additionally, I need to find the teachings left behind by my teacher in this realm. Once all these are done, I’ll ascend right away to settle some personal grudges with someone.” After bidding farewell to Situ Xuan that night, Ye Feng had already made plans. He knew he wouldn’t stay in the virtual realm for too long.
“Personal grudges? With the strong ones in the real realm?” Nian Cangsheng couldn’t help but ask.
Only then did Ye Feng reveal everything about his relationship with Situ Xuan…

“In these days, are there still people who force marriages? Miss Situ is right; that family in the Real World must be eradicated to avoid future troubles, otherwise they will sooner or later take revenge on the Situ family. So, it’s best not to stay in the Illusory World for too long, lest you have too many worries.” Nian Cangsheng advised, “You just mentioned martial arts techniques. I have a few here that you can choose from to see if there’s anything you want. As for swordsmanship and daggersmanship, I don’t have any. As for Illusory Treasures, I only have a few for personal use left; the rest have already been sold. If you want to obtain Illusory Treasures, the fastest way is to enter secret realms. With your current strength, you can move freely through most of the secret realms in the Illusory World. I used to collect information on some of these secret realms, and the records are still stored. I’ll give them all to you; you can take them back and study them at your leisure. It’s useless for me to keep them anyway. In either a year or a hundred years, I’ll soon ascend to the Real World, and then we can meet again…”
