Thinking of this, Ten Thousand Moons God King no longer concealed herself, transmitting her voice: "Qin Mu, if you win this battle, this cosmic spirit treasure, the heart of eternity, will be your reward."

"In the Arena Mall, you can choose Cultivation Techniques with a total value not exceeding 30 million points; if you win, these points do not need to be returned."

Heh.

As expected, a God King is more generous.

This Howling Moon is too stingy.

Qin Mu was ecstatic, but his face remained calm as he retorted: "Can I only choose Cultivation Techniques? Can’t I choose weapons, treasures, and resources?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Ten Thousand Moons God King’s mouth.

This little fellow, trying to extort money from me?

Opening his mouth and asking for treasures.

Does he think I have a lot of treasures?

cosmic spirit treasures, even a God King doesn’t have many.

If every Disciple were given one, even a God King would go bankrupt.

"You already have divine weapons; the Moves in the thousand mountain sword are more than just three, and you haven’t even fully comprehended them, so there’s no need to seek others."

"As for resources..."

Ten Thousand Moons God King paused.

"Howling Moon, give him ten bottles of spirit marrow; that should be enough."

After speaking, Ten Thousand Moons God King disappeared directly, leaving so quickly as if afraid of being extorted by Qin Mu again.

It’s still early.

He hasn’t even accepted a Disciple, yet he’s already given away a cosmic spirit treasure. If he were to accept him into the Sect later, how many treasures would it take to support this little fellow?

...Howling Moon, hearing this, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Report the coordinates."

Qin Mu was still somewhat displeased about not getting the treasure.

"Um... can’t the heart of eternity be given to me before the battle?"

"Even in a battle in the Metaverse, having an extra cosmic spirit treasure provides an exaggerated boost, it might even be the deciding factor."

Howling Moon calmly shook his head: "Don’t even think about it!"

"The heart of eternity is indeed a cosmic spirit treasure, but it will absolutely not help in your battle with Jiang Ni. As for the specific function of the cosmic spirit treasure, if you win, you will naturally know."

Stingy!

Qin Mu pouted: "Then so be it. Deposit the spirit marrow in the Cosmic Bank, and I will naturally have the bank deliver it."

Reporting coordinates is impossible.

If you have the ability, go ask the Cosmic Bank; I’d like to see if the Cosmic Bank will betray a client’s coordinates.

Howling Moon suffered a silent loss and, seeing that he couldn’t fool Qin Mu, could only give up... After he left, Ao Mengmeng finally emerged.

"Stingy Dragon, what is a cosmic spirit treasure? If it can’t boost combat, then why does it bear the title of a cosmic spirit treasure?"

Strength is everything in the Universe.

Combat is the only way to verify strength.

If it’s useless for combat, its value cannot be very high.

Ao Mengmeng didn’t dare to show her face just now, but she didn’t miss a single word of the conversation:

"Qin Mu, are you crazy?!"

"A cosmic spirit treasure! How incredible!"

"Speaking of which, the entire Heavenly Sword Sect only has three treasures that can be called cosmic spirit treasures!"

Envy~!

Jealousy~!

Ao Mengmeng couldn’t stop drooling when she thought of the heart of eternity that the God King had just displayed.

"The heart of eternity, a name even I haven’t heard of, but to be called a cosmic spirit treasure, it must be a rare treasure in the Universe!"

"You should know."

"Treasures, at the Universe Level, are already extremely rare."

"The most Elementary of them are called cosmic secret treasures."

"And then, there are cosmic spirit treasures."

Ao Mengmeng wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth: "Universe Level treasures don’t necessarily have to boost combat; they could also be for self-preservation, or Cultivation, or increasing Law comprehension."

"Treasures are wondrous, with all sorts of functions."

Good stuff.

No matter what, anything bearing the Universe Level designation is an exceptionally rare and good thing in the world.

Qin Mu didn’t get the item before the battle, so he wasn’t in a hurry, but there was something in Ao Mengmeng’s words that he could dig into.

"Where are the Heavenly Sword Sect’s cosmic spirit treasures kept?"

"Of course, in the Sect’s Sword Mountain!"

Ao Mengmeng answered without thinking: "Any cosmic spirit treasure must be held by a God King, otherwise it can only be placed in the Sect to suppress its foundation."

"If~ if Daylight were still here... the Heavenly Sword Sect would have at least ten or more cosmic spirit treasures..."

Treasures naturally belong to the strong.

Without the God King Realm, possessing treasures would inevitably make one a target for others, like a child carrying gold through the market, with no possibility of keeping it.

"Qin Mu, if that heart of eternity is related to combat, it wouldn’t be effective for you anyway. Revealing it in battle might even bring about utter disaster."

"Think about it, something even a God King would covet, in the hands of a Galaxy Level like you, who would be able to resist making a Move?!"

"Therefore, Ten Thousand Moons God King must have carefully chosen a special cosmic spirit treasure for self-preservation."

Tsk tsk.

Ao Mengmeng’s Dragon eyes gleamed again: "A special life-saving cosmic spirit treasure, its value is several times higher than ordinary cosmic spirit treasures. You’ve really hit the jackpot this time~"

Damn it!

Qin Mu grinned: "Let’s talk about it after I win."

There’s no free lunch in this world.

For a God King to be so generous, Jiang Ni must be extremely difficult to deal with.

It could even be said that even if he exposed the first Move of the thousand mountain sword, there would be no hope of victory.

Phoenix God Blazing Flame.

The most difficult to deal with should be this Cosmic Strange Fire.

Qin Mu secretly calculated in his mind.

"Just a seven-element Fusion, I’m afraid it’s really hard to have any chance of winning."

"The battle is tomorrow, and I still have one upgrade point. I wonder if it’s possible to achieve all elements..."

...On the other side.

The cyber clone, taking Lilia, traveled through the Star Gate and arrived at the Qingxuan Realm border early.

Before them, countless warships were lined up in the Universe, forming a long queue stretching several light years.

And the Star Gate checkpoint ahead still showed no sign of letting them pass.

"Damn humans!"

Lilia huffed angrily: "This checkpoint must have been set up to pursue us; they want to eliminate us completely."

Heh.

That’s not necessarily true.

Such a border blockade is more likely for the Qidala Empire to pursue Rake.

Tsk.

Qin Mu had been waiting here for five days, and he was also feeling a bit irritable.

The original plan was good: go through the Star Gate to the neighboring Jixing Realm, then take the Star Realm Super Array to reach cyber territory.

As a result, they were stuck in the Qingxuan Realm for so many days, wasting almost half of their travel time.

"Rake..."

Lilia leaned close to Qin Mu, her eyes wide as she murmured: "How about we go look in the Light Prison? Maybe Captain and the others also fled to the border, couldn’t get through, and chose to Break through the Light Prison to leave?"

Qin Mu had heard the same suggestion many times these past few days.

Light Prison.

Defined in the Universe Travel Guide as: A Hell that even light cannot cross!

It sounds incredible.

Light is the fastest fundamental particle in the Universe.

The speed of light is one of the core Laws of the Universe.

How could the Universe have large areas that even light cannot cross?

In fact, the Light Prison is not Hell.

It is a void space, a rapidly expanding space.

It’s just that the expansion speed of the Light Prison space far exceeds the speed of light, which is why even light cannot cross through it.

Such a space, to call it Hell, is not entirely wrong.

Because any object that cannot exceed the speed of light entering it means it will never be able to escape, only eternal annihilation and inevitable death... In the Universe.

Every Star Realm is enveloped by the Light Prison.

This is the separation between Star Realms, like a sky-reaching wall of sighs, completely sealing off the worlds within.

However, with the development of the Universe to this day, the Light Prison is no longer such a mysterious dead zone.

There are three ways to Break through.

Above the Gods, using Space Law to teleport away.

Building a Star Gate to connect two Star Realms and teleport away.

Navigating through the Light Prison with hyperspace acceleration to leave.

Hyperspace acceleration is equipped on high-end models of B-class and above warships.

Qin Mu’s ship also has it.

However, navigating through the Light Prison is still extremely dangerous and time-consuming.

Firstly, there is no Star Map.

The space in the Light Prison is constantly expanding, expanding in all directions; coordinates from one second can be hundreds of thousands of miles off the next second.

Secondly, the navigation time cannot be determined.

If you’re lucky and go in the right direction, and the Light Prison space is sparse, you might get out in a few days.

If you’re unlucky, you might get deeper and deeper into the Light Prison, causing you to navigate for tens of millions of years and still not get out.

The only chance is to wait for the Star Realm to be destroyed, and for the Light Prison to contract in reverse, to possibly escape.

However.

The lifespan of a realm is so long that even if the warship escapes the Light Prison by then, the people inside would have long turned to dust.

Beep beep... Beep beep... Lilia’s communicator suddenly rang.

"This... This is Captain’s distress signal!!!"

"Qin Mu!"

"Captain really is in the Light Prison~!!!"
