Han Jue's wealth had grown substantially.
Beyond the Ten Directions Lotus Sea and the Five Evolutions Wilderness Sword, he possessed four high-level melee treasures that he'd acquired through various conquests.
The spear, axe, and scimitar would be given away to worthy recipients. The short sword remained unclaimed for now, but as a high-level melee treasure, its value wasn't particularly impressive. Han Jue decided to keep it for the time being, perhaps someone with the Six-Eyes bloodline would need it later, or he could bestow it as a gift when the opportunity arose.
Then there were the dozens of ordinary treasures.
These common treasures held little practical value for someone at his level. Han Jue set aside a few select pieces, intending to bring them back to Earth as gifts for those who'd supported him over the years.
With his selections made, Han Jue made his way to the treasure exchange office located within the City Lord's Mansion in Primal Chaos City.
The bronze gates opened smoothly at his approach.
A stone disc floated at the center of the side hall, surrounded by countless cyan rays of light that swirled in hypnotic patterns through the air.
Han Jue waved his hand, sending dozens of treasures he'd obtained from his Star Stream Sea clone soaring upward. The cyan light enveloped them immediately, each treasure assessed and catalogued by the Virtual Universe's artificial intelligence as they were offered to the clan treasury.
The system calculated his contribution: 56.7 treasure points total.
Not bad.
Next, Han Jue turned his attention to what he could exchange for with this newfound wealth.
His main body still lacked a domain-type treasure or a soul-type treasure. Regarding soul defense, his Star Stream Sea clone had brought back a top-tier soul defense treasure from its adventures, so that particular need wasn't urgent. A domain-type treasure, however, would prove invaluable.
An ordinary domain-type treasure carried value equivalent to a superior high-level melee treasure.
After careful examination of the available options, Han Jue quickly identified an exceptional domain-type treasure that caught his eye.
The Azure Origin Ring.
Worth 55 treasure points, it rivaled even top-tier high-level melee treasures in value, comparable to the Five Evolutions Wild Sword Han Jue already possessed.
The Azure Origin Ring could unleash the Azure Origin Domain, a suppressive field so powerful that even Universe Overlords found escape nearly impossible. Beyond its primary function as a domain-type treasure, it could also serve as a sealing treasure! Once an enemy became trapped by the Azure Origin Ring, only Universe Masters or top-tier Universe Overlords who specialized in overwhelming offensive power could break free. Even ordinary top-tier Universe Overlords had virtually no chance of escape!
The only drawback was that the domain effect disappeared when the ring functioned in sealing mode, but this limitation was negligible. Essentially, Han Jue would be acquiring a multi-functional treasure. The large expenditure of treasure points was completely justified.
After completing the exchange, Han Jue still had numerous valuable treasures in his possession, but most weren't worth enough to contribute to the clan treasury. He'd reserve them as Earth's future treasure vault, and also prepare them for training successors within the Lotus Clan.
1.7 treasure points remained.
Han Jue planned to use these remaining points to exchange for resources that would help him cultivate the Ice Peak Nine Hells Body.
His main body hadn't even completed the Fifth Prison yet!
His Star Stream Sea clone had only just finished the Fifth Prison recently.
These 1.7 treasure points would probably make it difficult for his main body to refine through the Ninth Prison of the Ice Peak Nine Hells Body, let alone provide enough for his clone as well.
Still, it was better than nothing.
Next, Han Jue would continue cultivating in Primal Chaos City until he broke through to Immortality.
Currently, of the eight lower-level fundamental laws, only Wind and Thunder remained uncomprehended.
Han Jue had a premonition that once he comprehended just one of them, without even needing to comprehend the spatial fundamental law completely, he would be able to break through to the Immortality realm!
The Star Stream Sea clone's innate secret technique, Star Sea, continued to devour and strengthen endlessly, causing Han Jue's life gene level to constantly increase.
The upper limit of the Star Stream Sea clone was currently 9,000 times the life gene level of an ordinary Star Stream Lord!
Right now, the Star Stream Sea clone's life gene level hadn't even broken through 4,000 times. Even with the Star Sea talent secret technique actively boosting it, the clone had only barely reached approximately 3,300 times, still a long way from reaching its upper limit.
Cultivate!
"First, I'll have my true body refine through the Nine Prisons of the Ice Peak Nine Hells Body. Then we'll consider what comes next."
Han Jue made his decision immediately.
The Ice Peak Nine Hells Body, once all nine prisons were completely refined, would bring an 81-fold increase in body amplitude.
Combined with Han Jue's current strength, already 25,600 times the power of an ordinary World Master, this would elevate him to an extremely terrifying 2,073,600 times the power of a World Master. At that level, his physical endurance would also be greatly enhanced, granting him physical qualities comparable to a Universe Overlord!
Combined with his numerous supreme treasures and secret techniques, unleashing tens of millions of times a World Master's power wouldn't be an exaggeration. Fighting Prison Venerable again would result in an easy victory!
This time, Han Jue chose to leave his Star Stream Sea clone in Primal Chaos City.
His original body, however, departed from Primal Chaos City to return to Earth.
Previously, Han Jue had killed so many Immortals on the extraterritorial battlefield, obtaining countless treasures along with the entire accumulated wealth of those alien Kings.
Selling all these items would yield a considerable fortune, enough for his original body to refine through the first eight prisons of the Ice Peak Nine Hells Body. Combined with the 1.7 treasure points, refining the complete nine prisons might still fall slightly short, but Han Jue could easily supplement the difference.
Cultivating the Ice Peak Nine Hells Body didn't require staying in Primal Chaos City. Remaining in the original universe would be sufficient.
Temporarily staying aboard the Ice Wasteland spaceship, Han Jue estimated he should be able to break through to Universe Venerable level soon enough to claim the Seven Flames Palace located in the Heavenly Secret Realm.
The Flame Phoenix King, Han Jue's rival and current guardian of the Seven Flames Palace, was presently only an Invincible King, having stagnated at that level for countless epochs.
He might be slightly stronger than the True Evolution King, but his potential was essentially exhausted. Breaking through to Universe Venerable level without encountering other extraordinary opportunities was virtually impossible for him.
Off to Earth!
Currently, the Star-Eating Grass divine body remained severely injured and still recovering, unable to perform Divine Kingdom teleportation.
Fortunately, Han Jue had brought back his soul slave from the extraterritorial battlefield, King Lijin, who could serve as temporary transportation.
Virtual Universe, Earth Holy Land!
News of the events on the extraterritorial battlefield had spread throughout the entire Hongmeng. The four individuals who now possessed Immortal King-level status had naturally joined the Hongmeng and learned everything about recent developments.
At this moment, the five people from Earth gathered together in the virtual space.
"Dad!" Han Xi looked at Han Jue with undisguised admiration shining in her pale blue eyes.
Han Huan's personality resembled Bo Lan's, appearing extremely cold on the surface, but he also gazed at Han Jue with amazement at his father's accomplishments.
"Little Jue, you actually managed to kill that Venerable Yuming at the World Master level. It's unbelievable." Lei Shen shook his head in wonder, his voice carrying genuine surprise.
There was a difference of more than a million times in basic power between a World Master and a Universe Venerable, not to mention all the other factors.
"It's nothing special." Han Jue smiled faintly. "That Venerable Yuming didn't have any supreme treasures, and his divine body wasn't particularly strong. Killing him wasn't that serious of a challenge."
"This isn't a big deal?" Lei Shen couldn't help but respond incredulously.
"Right now, all the top races in the universe are offering a bounty for your life! They're even offering a treasure as a reward just for finding your location!"
"Is that so?" Han Jue asked with feigned surprise. "Looks like I could have my soul slaves trick them into giving me a treasure."
Of course, this was merely a joke. The treasure reward wasn't worth much compared to what he already possessed.
"I'll be arriving on Earth soon. What about you guys?" Han Jue asked, looking at the assembled group.
