Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 544 - 316: Star Network! The Feasibility of Xuanxing Alliance Towards the Universe_2

"Let’s just gather resources. Kasha had good luck recently; she discovered a newly Extraordinary Planet and sold the entire planet to Xingyu City, obtaining five hundred Cosmic Origin Crystals. That’s practically overnight wealth and saved her a century of arduous cultivation."

Those who could enter the Star Ruins Realm, if not backed by a major power, were all powerful figures from their respective planets. Their strength had reached the Ninth Rank combat power determined by the cosmos, equivalent to the Forget Self Realm or Lower Gods. On their planets, they were rulers of a star, the pinnacle of power, controlling the lives and deaths of billions, or even tens of billions, of people. But in the Star Ruins Realm, within an outer Xingyu City, they all acted with extreme caution. Upon seeing Jiang Shu and the others, several powerful individuals suddenly fell silent and passed by.

"Those are powerful individuals from the Spirit Clan. The Spirit Clan is naturally endowed with powerful soul power, suitable for the path of Spiritual Cultivation."

"The Tuoba Jin we encountered earlier in the Black Iron Desert possesses an adult Meteor Vine, yet he’s only in the Mixed Element Breath Realm. In Tuoba City, his status is definitely not low."

Master Cangwu spoke, his tone filled with envy. Whether it was the Spirit Clan’s cultivation talent or Tuoba Jin’s resources, both were beyond his wildest dreams. Possessing either one would allow him to reach truly top-tier strength within the Forget Self Realm, enough to join various factions and receive excellent treatment. He wouldn’t have ended up alone like this.

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but look toward Jiang Shu. If Jiang Shu’s human aura hadn’t been so obvious, with his body and soul perfectly matched, he might have suspected Jiang Shu was from the Spirit Clan. But even the Spirit Clan couldn’t advance from an ordinary person to the Forget Self Realm in such a short time. As for the Meteor Vine, although there were powerful individuals in the Star Ruins Realm who owned peak-stage Meteor Vines demonstrating the combat power of the Forget Form Realm, such Meteor Vines usually had a cultivation cycle of at least a thousand years. For a prodigy like Jiang Shu, let alone a thousand years, it would probably take him less than a hundred years to have a chance to step into the Forget Form Realm.

"Welcome, honored guest."

Stepping into one of the buildings, a voice from the smart system at the Light Gate responded. Simultaneously, a Maid immediately came forward to greet them. In the Star Ruins Realm, her strength was extremely low. Possessing only Seventh Rank combat power, she could only serve as a low-level Maid here, attending to the powerful. She didn’t dare step out of Xingyu City.

She naturally addressed Jiang Shu, who was in the lead, "Sir, is this your first time visiting our Xingyu Building?"

In Xingyu City, there were a total of one hundred and eight Xingyu Buildings, offering various services. They strove to provide every powerful individual entering Xingyu City with services they hadn’t experienced outside. When Jiang Shu entered the Xingyu Building, the Maid learned from the smart system’s judgment that these three could possibly be Ninth Rank powerful individuals. Even without backing from major powers, they could gather Cosmic Origin Crystals and survive in the Star Ruins Realm. For her, if such a powerful individual made purchases in the Xingyu Building, she could earn a handsome reward.

Jiang Shu simply nodded and didn’t say much. The layout of the Xingyu Building was very much like a shopping mall on Xuanxing, only it was broader and could accommodate more clients.

"Sir, our Xingyu Building is divided into ten floors. Each floor caters to specific clients," the Maid explained. "For example, the basement level is our slave market. It perennially provides Seventh Rank Genetic Slaves that you can buy with just one Cosmic Origin Crystal. These slaves are implanted with special chips by our Xingyu Building and will not betray their masters.

"As for Eighth Rank Genetic Slaves, they cost one hundred Cosmic Origin Crystals. Such slaves are often in short supply. In recent days, our Xingyu Building’s Eighth Rank Genetic Slaves have also run out of stock. So, if you wish to purchase some, you might consider returning after a while."

Facing such a new, honored guest, the Maid was not in a hurry. She walked with Jiang Shu while explaining. Most powerful individuals wanting to reside in Xingyu City were willing to purchase a few Genetic Slaves. Beyond cultivation, there were always various trivial matters to handle. These Genetic Slaves, after their training, were very adept and obedient, capable of handling many tasks. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Most importantly, once a slave chip was implanted into a Genetic Slave and bonded to a master, their life and death were at the master’s whim. However, this was also why, once individuals cultivated to the Ninth Rank and their soul evolved again, the slave chip could no longer be implanted; implanting it would be ineffective. Therefore, in the entire Star Ruins Realm, there were no Ninth Rank slaves with implanted chips.

This was precisely the fundamental reason why only those in the Forget Self Realm, Lower Gods, and Ninth-order Genetic Cultivators were allowed to enter the Star Ruins Realm. If one’s strength or background was insufficient here, they would simply be captured by more powerful individuals, treated as slaves, and sold at extremely low prices in various slave markets.

Jiang Shu nodded, his expression unchanged.

A Cosmic Origin Crystal might take a normal cultivator of the Forget Self Realm several months to acquire. But for him, with three Holy Embryos condensed and the addition of the Heavenly Rank Divine Power, the Kunpeng Swallowing Technique, it would likely only take about a month.

Once I’ve dealt with the war between the Human Clan and the Demon Race in the Cang Mang Domain, I should have plenty of time left to cultivate. By then, gathering more Cosmic Origin Crystals should enable me to purchase quite a number of slaves. Although I personally don’t need them, I can have these slaves protect Mom and Dad, giving me some peace of mind. Of course, the best way to obtain Cosmic Origin Crystals is still through resource trading. If an excellent resource could be found either on Xuanxing or in the Cang Mang Domain, it could save me a great deal of time. Such as the planets of Dense Earth and Dead Water. The water from Dead Water Star is useful to me, but if I could extract Crystal Stones from the veins of Dense Earth Star, I might get a good amount of Cosmic Origin Crystals.

If not for the need to protect Xuanxing, the most convenient method would naturally be to sell the coordinates of Dense Earth Star to the Xingyu Building, a thought flashed through Jiang Shu’s mind. The Xingyu Building would naturally send powerful beings to gather resources. Perhaps a single planet could be sold for a hundred Cosmic Origin Crystals, which would allow me to buy an Eighth Rank Genetic Slave. Unfortunately, doing so would expose Xuanxing to risk. From what those few powerful individuals who left earlier said, an ordinary Extraordinary Planet could sell for five hundred Cosmic Origin Crystals. Xuanxing, as an Extraordinary Planet established by a cultivator of the Forget Realm, is definitely worth thousands. If it were discovered, let alone me in the Forget Self Realm, even reaching the Forget Form Realm might not be enough to protect it. At this stage, it’s best to keep a low profile.

Thinking this, Jiang Shu’s gaze involuntarily swept over the God of Ten Thousand Beasts. I’m rather confident about Master Cangwu, but the God of Ten Thousand Beasts... However, the problem shouldn’t be significant. Firstly, I’ve already displayed my talent to the God of Ten Thousand Beasts. He would have to be a fool to sell information about Xuanxing for a few Cosmic Origin Crystals, unless he was absolutely confident he could kill me. Otherwise, as long as I live, the God of Ten Thousand Beasts is doomed to die. Secondly, my entry into Xingyu City is to learn more about the Star Ruins Realm. Later, I’ll definitely consider how to get to the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance or go directly to Tuoba City. Joining any of those factions should be enough to suppress any schemes the God of Ten Thousand Beasts might have.

"The first floor is actually just a place for trading information. Here, you can buy information on the various Cosmic Ten Thousand Clans and different planets. You can use the Star Gates of the Star Ruins Realm to travel to these planets and train yourself."

"The second floor houses a variety of products specifically designed to enhance the quality of planets."

"For example, there’s the highly popular Star Network, which can connect a planet to the cosmic web and allow access to all information in the universe. Selling price: one hundred Cosmic Origin Crystals."
