The Glory Secret Realm where Taas World is located is quite far from the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Realm; even an f-class spaceship would take nearly a year to travel there.
"Your Highness Ender, that's Taas World ahead. I will send you to the palace outside the world, and then the staff of the Universe Mercenary Alliance will escort Your Highness into Taas World."
Under the virtual external scene simulation, Ender saw a vast, light-green continent, almost endless, enveloped in mist, floating in the Void ahead.
And outside the light-green continent, there was a magnificent and majestic palace, also suspended in the Void.
"I understand."
Ender nodded gently, and then he was transported by the spaceship into that majestic and vast palace.
"You must be Your Highness Ender of the Virtual Universe Company."
As soon as he entered the palace, he saw an World Master who had been waiting for a long time. "My name is Leo, and I am Your Highness's guide."
World Master Leo, who was 1.9 meters tall, was somewhat astonished to see Ender, who emerged from the spaceship, standing over thirteen meters tall.
"Is this Your Highness Ender a branch of the Giant Race? His body height actually reached over thirteen meters."
Astonishment aside, Leo still explained very genuinely: "Taas World is an important place for our Universe Mercenary Alliance. The indigenous people on the continent have already joined the Universe Mercenary Alliance, so unreasonable killing is prohibited in Taas World!"
"In addition, Taas World..."
Listening to Leo's explanation, Ender followed him to a spaceship docking point and stopped in front of the hatch of a spaceship over a thousand meters long.
Leo respectfully said, "Your Highness Ender, this is the spaceship that will take you to Taas World."
"Thank you."
Ender nodded.
"Your Highness is too polite; this is my duty."
Under Leo's watchful gaze, Ender entered the spaceship. After a brief chat with the staff inside, he took the spaceship to Taas World.
...
Taas Continent, a common green forest.
Swoosh!
A streak of light fell from the sky, landing in the green forest and startling a flock of birds.
The light dissipated, revealing a tall man over thirteen meters tall, dressed in camouflage combat attire. This was Ender, who had entered Taas Continent by spaceship.
"What secret is hidden in this Taas World?" Ender secretly wondered, "The Universe Mercenary Alliance doesn't allow us to enter Taas World directly by spaceship; instead, we have to transfer once before entering. I don't understand why they operate this way."
"Taas World is a Dangerous Level mission with a fifty percent mortality rate. I imagine there are many Ferocious beasts on the continent that can take lives."
Ender thought to himself, "Taas World has a total of sixteen missions. Trying to find sixteen mission targets to collect in Taas World, which has a maximum diameter of nearly 0.4 light-years, is undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack."
"The people most familiar with the map and environment of Taas World are naturally the natives of Taas World. I should first find a native settlement and gather some information."
Thinking of this, Ender flew out of the forest and ascended into the sky.
Once in the high altitude, he took out his newly ordered enlarged E9-level Spaceship, searching for indigenous people of Taas World while also looking for mission targets.
The spaceship flew out of the forest and soon discovered a small city on a plain. This city was clearly a technological city, with many laser cannons on its walls, seemingly used to defend against something.
After successfully entering the city with a display of goodwill, Ender was quickly brought before the tribal elder.
The tribal elder was a Universe Level five middle-aged man. He smiled and greeted Ender, "Welcome to the Tree Sea Tribe, esteemed guest from beyond the heavens."
"Hello."
After conversing with the tribal elder, Ender learned that the laser cannons on the city walls were for defending the city, because Taas World not only had a vast number of Ferocious beasts but also some plant life that could threaten the safety of the natives.
The existence of the laser cannons allowed the small city to survive the dual assault of Ferocious beasts and plant life.
After the casual talk, Ender asked, "Tribal Elder, I would like to trade for maps and some information on herbs or plant life. Does your tribe have any?"
"We do have simple maps, but I imagine a distinguished guest like you wouldn't need maps that only mark general directions."
The tribal elder spoke frankly, then suggested, "Fly southwest from our tribe; there is a large tribe there. That tribe has very comprehensive maps and herbs."
"Thank you!"
Ender thanked him, left a D-grade metal as a gift, and then proceeded in the direction indicated by the tribal elder.
...
Traveling by spaceship, Ender arrived at a massive city in just over ten minutes.
The city covered an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, with four city walls dozens of meters high. Every so often along the city walls, there was a laser cannon, its dark muzzle pointing out, sending a chill down one's spine!
With Ender's thirteen-meter height, he was naturally easily recognized as someone from beyond the heavens. He was quickly led to the tribal high-level members.
Under the leadership of a Domain Master man, several Universe Level individuals bowed slightly to Ender, "Welcome, distinguished guest from beyond the heavens."
"If I'm not mistaken, the guest has come to seek an exchange for maps and some herbs?" the Domain Master man said.
Ender nodded, "That's right."
"This is the most detailed map of our tribe. It also marks some dangerous places where precious medicinal herbs grow."
The Domain Master man said, "If the guest wants it, they can take it, but you'll need to offer some metal in exchange."
"Okay."
Ender took out some D-grade metal from his World Ring, handed it to the Domain Master man, and received a map from him.
"The transaction is complete."
The Domain Master man smiled, then said, "I know you guests don't like processed herbs, so I specifically arranged for people to plant a batch of herbs. If the guest sees anything they like, they can also exchange it for metal."
Upon hearing this, Ender nodded, "Good."
He could tell that this tribe's trading process was very skilled, clearly not their first time trading with 'guests from beyond the heavens' like them.
Following the tribe's personnel to an herb garden, there were many types of herbs inside, but unfortunately, none were what he needed.
"Indeed, if it were that easy to obtain mission targets, then the Virtual Universe Company's points would be too easy to earn, and it wouldn't fit the rule of a 50% mortality rate for Dangerous Level Cultivate missions."
Thinking of this, Ender gently shook his head and said, "There are no herbs I need here."
Then, he bid farewell to the disappointed tribe members, and after carefully examining the locations of various precious herbs marked on the map, he left by spaceship.
...
Taas World, on a cold high mountain.
Ender, hidden, moved through this snow-covered mountain, searching for one of his mission targets, the Snow Condensation Flower.
Soon.
He found a Snow Condensation Flower with blue stems and leaves and snow-white flowers.
However, next to this Snow Condensation Flower, a snow-white Ferocious beast, about ten meters long, was curled up resting.
Seeing the snow-white Ferocious beast, Ender secretly thought, "Another Domain Master Ferocious beast guarding it. These points are really not easy to earn, but this is exactly in line with the Virtual Universe Company's style."
Of course, this so-called 'not easy to earn' referred to other Universe Level core members. For someone with terrifying strength like him, ordinary Domain Master Ferocious beasts were of no concern.
His figure flickered, instantly arriving in front of the Snow Condensation Flower. He had already taken out a container from his World Ring and directly put the cold, ice-like Snow Condensation Flower into it.
Roar!
Sensing the disappearance of the familiar Snow Condensation Flower, the snow-white Ferocious beast instantly awoke, letting out an angry roar and then pouncing towards Ender, who was not far away.
"A Domain Master fifth order, daring to bare its fangs at me!"
Ender's figure flickered, and his hand, wearing a black, ferocious gauntlet, directly grabbed towards the Domain Master Ferocious beast!
Buzz!
The moment his palm extended, his entire arm instantly magnified significantly. The area of his palm reached over a hundred square meters, covering the ten-meter body of the Domain Master Ferocious beast.
Roar!
The Domain Master Ferocious beast tried to break free, its snow-white figure flickering continuously, but under the lock and cover of that giant claw, it ultimately failed to escape!
Bang!
The giant palm, imbued with the power of Space Law, slammed down, fiercely striking the mountain peak, crushing the Domain Master Ferocious beast along with this mountain peak!
On the mountain peak, the originally sharp summit was shattered, directly leveled, becoming a mountain without a top.
"This 'Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body' is indeed extraordinary. I've only Cultivated to the second layer, and my body can already freely enlarge and shrink. It's a pity that the current body limit is only Eighteen times, still a considerable gap compared to the Major Achievement of thirty times."
Ender shrank his body, then carefully sensed, "In the shrunk state, my body's density is enhanced, and my strength is even greater than before."
"The sixth Snow Condensation Flower is in hand; I just need four more to complete this collection objective."
Ender said, continuing to search for the next Snow Condensation Flower. After another ten minutes, he finally found the last three Snow Condensation Flowers.
"One mission completed."
According to the Cultivate mission rules, completing any one mission counts as completing the Cultivate mission. Even if other missions in that world are not completed, it is still considered a completed Cultivate mission, just with fewer points.
As he placed the container with ten Snow Condensation Flowers into his World Ring, Ender's face suddenly showed a surprised expression.
Buzz!
A slight vibration sound emanated from his World Ring, and he felt quite puzzled, "What's going on?"
Because he felt something vibrating in his World Ring, a strange vibration he couldn't explain.
The hundred-meter-tall Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone, second branch tree, carefully listened and sensed the source of the vibration, then began to narrow the scope and quickly locked onto the target.
"It's it?!"
After a brief search, Ender found the item that occasionally vibrated lightly in an inconspicuous place within his World Ring.
"crimson light box!"
Using his will to retrieve the crimson box, he said with some confusion, "If I remember correctly, this crimson light box contains that mysterious emerald leaf."
Buzz!
Another slight vibration sound occurred, and this time the vibration became clearer, especially since Ender had retrieved it with his will, he could clearly perceive the vibration.
Ender, who had just taken out the crimson light box and held it in his hand, now clearly sensed something inside the box vibrating, and the only item inside the box was that mysterious emerald leaf!
Quickly opening the crimson light box, he took out the mysterious emerald leaf wrapped in silk and gently placed it in his hand.
Looking down at the emerald leaf wrapped in silk in his hand, he seemed to hear a small, rhythmic heartbeat.
The mysterious emerald leaf in his hand seemed to be attracted and summoned by something, subtly showing signs of wanting to break free.
"What exactly is this mysterious emerald leaf?" Ender felt a bit surprised and couldn't help but guess, "Could it be! The mysterious and ancient emerald tree I once vaguely saw is calling?"
"Go! Let's follow the attraction and call of this emerald leaf and see."
He took out his spaceship and entered it, gently holding the mysterious emerald leaf in his hand, feeling its subtle desire to break free and the direction it wanted to go.
"It's this direction!"
Ender suddenly turned to look southeast, piloting the spaceship towards the direction that attracted the mysterious emerald!
After flying for two or three minutes, he stopped the spaceship and carefully felt the mysterious emerald leaf in his hand, vibrating faintly like a heartbeat.
"The source of that attractive and summoning force is still in this direction; I need to keep flying."
Then, Ender piloted the spaceship, continuing to move in the direction of the attractive and summoning force.
"The vibration of the mysterious emerald leaf has become stronger. From this reaction, moving in this direction is correct!"
As the spaceship continued to travel, Ender felt the increasingly intense pulsation of the mysterious emerald leaf in his hand. He knew he was getting closer to the truth.
"This is it!"
After flying for several more minutes, Ender finally sensed that the mysterious emerald leaf in his hand had a slight downward pulling force, occasionally tugging at his palm.
Click!
The spaceship hatch opened, and Ender emerged from the spaceship, the mysterious emerald leaf gently held in his hand, occasionally pulling downwards.
"This is?"
Ender looked down at the ground and immediately saw an incredibly vast and majestic city. From its hundreds of meters high, mottled bluestone city walls, an ancient and distant aura emanated, seemingly telling of the city's greatness and antiquity.
"It seems the secret of the mysterious emerald leaf will be unveiled in this city."
Ender murmured softly, then slowly flew downwards.
Not long after he started flying down, Little Dawn's warning sounded in his mind, "Master! An E-grade Laser Gun below is locking onto Master. Please stop flying down!"
"What!" Ender was startled by the words and immediately stopped flying. "An E-grade Laser Gun in the city below is locking onto me?"
"Master! The city below does not allow entry from the air."
Little Dawn's voice continued, "If Master wishes to enter the city below, you need to fly away from above the city, land, and then enter from the ground."
"Understood."
Ender nodded, then, following Little Dawn's instructions, flew away from above the city, landed on the ground, and successfully entered the city...
