Chapter 509: Receiving Rewards from the Void Realm

After some inquiries, Long Tian and the others learned that the news of Ye Feng having reached the minor perfection stage of the Law realm had already spread throughout half of the Divine Realm. However, as a newly rising small city, Sent City had not yet heard of it. This was also due to Ye Feng and the others not having a solid foundation in the Divine Realm and lacking sources of information, which meant such news reached them later than in the major cities or even first-tier cities.

Ye Feng wasn’t too concerned about his cultivation level being exposed, as reaching the minor perfection stage of the Law realm wasn’t really his hidden strength. It didn’t matter much if others knew, and in fact, it brought quite a few benefits to Sent City. Sent City had originally been a dangerous city, but after his arrival, it was fully restored to a city comparable to first-tier cities. Still, the population growth there was slow. After all, there were three small forbidden zones near Sent City, so ordinary strongmen naturally didn’t want to stay in such a dangerous place for long, let alone buy houses there.

But now that Ye Feng’s cultivation level—perfection in the Law realm—was known, not to mention those three small forbidden zones, even the four major forbidden zones wouldn’t dare to attack easily. Sent City transformed from a dangerous city in the eyes of everyone to a city blessed by the gods in just one day, regarded by many strongmen in the Divine Realm as the safest place in the entire realm.

It should be noted that even the rulers of ordinary major cities only reached the third or fourth layer of the Law cultivation. Even among the supreme elders of those major forces, the strongest only reached the sixth or seventh layer. Even among the few unascended strongmen in the Divine Realm, only one had reached the ninth layer of the Law cultivation. A true perfection master—there was only one such person known in the entire Divine Realm: Dao Feng.

The news of Ye Feng’s perfection stage had spread long before he and the others left the Tower of Beasts, and now, over a hundred days had passed. The spread of news was much faster than human travel, reaching destinations in an instant. By now, not only the major cities but also all first-tier cities knew about Ye Feng, and some well-informed second-tier cities had also heard of it.

Moreover, over a hundred days was enough time for strongmen from nearby cities to arrive, which explained the bustling crowd scene.

Actually, the number of residential houses is more than sufficient. However, many factions want to establish branches in City Centrum, which requires more land. In particular, some medium-sized factions even want to move their bases here. Fortunately, City Centrum has the area of a first-tier city, so there is enough land. Within the main city, the price per unit area for non-residential land such as bases is ten times that of residential land. Ye Feng, of course, charged ten times as much without hesitation. This method of making money was even better than auctions.

With the unit price at hundreds of thousands of lower-grade divine crystals, and typically a base being hundreds of times larger than an ordinary residence, a small base could fetch hundreds of millions of lower-grade divine crystals. A medium-sized base is thousands of times larger than a residence, and one such base can sell for billions of lower-grade divine crystals. As for those large factions, in order to show their power and curry favor with Ye Feng, they were willing to spend over 20 billion divine crystals to purchase bases that are tens of thousands of times larger than residences.

In the four months since Ye Feng arrived in City Centrum, more than 20 different factions had already bought bases there. Those who purchased large bases included the Ascendants Alliance, the Indigenous Alliance, the Neutral Tribes, and the Guardians Alliance. Among them, the Guardians Alliance even bought an ultra-large base for over a hundred billion divine crystals—of course, all this was at the instigation of that guy named Jin.

Including the sales of some residences, Ye Feng made a net profit of over 180 billion. This was completely beyond his expectations.

After storing away the small amounts, Ye Feng stored all 180 billion lower-grade divine crystals as fourth-tier domain value, totaling 180 trillion points.

The moment they were stored, special rewards in the Virtual Domain activated again.

“You have obtained 180 trillion points of fourth-tier domain value. Special rewards: one instance of the Supreme Privilege, one instance of the Ultimate Comprehension Privilege, one instance of the Ultimate Exchange Privilege, one instance of the Ultimate Replication Privilege, one instance of the Ultimate Enhancement Privilege, two instances of the Ultimate Repair Privilege, and two instances of the Ultimate Summoning Privilege.”

“For the first time reaching a domain value of one trillion points, the host may make one request, as long as the cost incurred by the Virtual Domain does not exceed that of crafting a pseudo-virtual treasure.”

Ye Feng remained silent for a long time. He already had cultivation techniques and was not short of weapons—he lacked almost nothing. The only thing he lacked was a time acceleration of 1,000 times for domain cultivation, which he found somewhat insufficient.

“Can the time acceleration in the Virtual Domain be increased further? The more, the better,” Ye Feng said, his greed seemingly endless.

“I can remanufacture the refining realm; it won’t take much effort. But in my current weakened state, my understanding of the laws of time has been greatly diminished. At most, I can only accelerate the time within the realm by ten thousand times.” After a long silence from the Virtual Realm, Ye Feng heard a familiar voice—the voice emitted when the realm’s spirit took on his own form. “This time, while remanufacturing it, I’ll also strengthen its functions a bit. The one I gave you before was made in a hurry, and some of its functions weren’t fully developed.”

“That would be perfect. Ten thousand times time acceleration is quite good too.” Though it was only a slight improvement, Ye Feng was still satisfied. Yet he murmured to himself, “Next time I see my elder brother, I must ask him to remanufacture this realm for me again.”

Although he had only met Nian Cangsheng once, he knew well that his elder brother was a master-level expert in both artifact crafting and potion-making. Someone who could easily craft peak-level virtual treasures would surely have no trouble remaking a pseudo-virtual treasure. Moreover, he had already begun learning the methods to craft the most powerful virtual treasures. If successful, he might advance even further in the art of artifact crafting.

Unbeknownst to Ye Feng, his thoughts were already known to someone else.

Nian Cangsheng, who was in another realm, instantly realized that Ye Feng was thinking of him. The two were connected by blood, and since Nian Cangsheng was also among the most skilled beings in that virtual world, it wasn’t difficult for him to read people’s minds. Ye Feng’s thoughts reached him in an instant.

“You kid, why are you daydreaming? Weren’t you trying to learn the methods to craft my ultimate virtual treasure?” Just for being distracted for a moment, he got a swat on the head.

“Dad, if you keep hitting me, I’m really going to go crazy…” Nian Cangsheng complained with a pained expression before immediately focusing his mind again and continuing to observe the process of crafting the immortal artifact.

After bringing all of Pearl and the others out of the refining realm, Pearl, who had initially been dissatisfied, had no choice but to wait patiently after learning that the time acceleration within the realm would now be ten thousand times.

Upon seeing the two female insects again, Ye Feng was shocked. Without any guidance, they had reached the peak of the Ancestral God level and even grasped certain laws. Both of them had understood a special type of law: the Law of Gestation. The queen bee had also grasped the Wind-type Law of Cutting, while the ant queen had mastered the Earth-type Law of Gravity. Although they were still only at the first level, their offspring numbered in the tens of millions, with over ten thousand of them having reached the Ancestral God level.

The deep-blue dragon had also reached the peak of the Ancestral God realm and understood the sealing laws of the water element. All this brought surprise to Ye Feng. However, he planned to feed the corpses and crystal cores of the magical beasts he had slaughtered along the way to the two female worms. Although those crystal cores were highly valuable, Ye Feng still considered it more important to nurture the two female worms properly. The evolution of the female worms was actually quite simple, mainly through consumption. Everything in the Refining Realm was fictional, except for the speed of time. Thus, in the Refining Realm, the two female worms evolved slowly. Up to now, Ye Feng only dared to feed them corpses of semi-god level, as these corpses of semi-god beasts were free. Otherwise, even if he had hundreds of trillions of domain points at present, it would not be enough to feed the two female worms.
