Chapter 7 - Choice

After familiarizing himself with the living environment, Gǔ Fēi walked directly into his study.

He opened the Virtual Universe Corporation's treasure vault and studied it carefully.

As the treasure vault opened, the screen immediately displayed eight major categories: "Secret Arts," "Weapons," "Rare Treasures," "Technological Weapons," "Materials," "Tools," "Creatures," and "Other Special Categories."

Under each major category, many sub-categories floated, such as "Plant Life," "Metal Life," and "Beast Taming" under the Creatures category. Secret Arts also had different factions…

The treasure vault was indeed all-encompassing, containing everything imaginable in the universe, as if it encompassed all the strange treasures and knowledge treasures.

There were tens of millions of various categories, dense with countless words and patterns, and all were marked as requiring points for exchange, with no option to purchase with money.

For core members of the Primitive Mystical Region, there was a 30% discount when exchanging with points, Highest Beginning Mythical Region had a 20% discount, Heaven and Earth Mystery Realm had a 10% discount, while Doomsday Secret Realm members like Gǔ Fēi received no discount and could only purchase at the original price.

The price of weapons was relatively cheap, only requiring about 10 points to buy top-tier Fifth-Order Force Weapons or Fifth-Order Psionic Weapons.

Gǔ Fēi saw that these top-tier Fifth-Order weapons were also available for sale in the outside world, priced at approximately one to two trillion universe coins, or one to two mixed yuan units.

"I have ten mixed yuan units from the Genius Battle prize money, and these weapons can be bought outside. It's too much of a loss to buy them with points here."

Gǔ Fēi then opened the Secret Art list and browsed through it, carefully analyzing the characteristics of each Secret Art, their compatibility with him—and, of course, their prices. The prices of these Secret Arts varied, with low ones costing only tens or hundreds of points, while high ones required hundreds of thousands of points, or even tens of millions or hundreds of millions of points.

The Secret Art list in the treasure vault was divided into dozens of major categories, each with hundreds to thousands of sub-categories, and each sub-category contained tens of millions of Secret Arts…

"So many, how long will it take to look through them all?"

Suddenly, Gǔ Fēi received a new email.

"Gǔ Fēi:

Congratulations on becoming a full member of the Doomsday Secret Realm. Our Virtual Universe Corporation's various cultivation plans for your younger generation begin at the Universe Rank. Therefore, your first task now is to break through to the Universe Rank.

Of course, you don't need to worry about this. Once you emerge from your cultivation in the Primal Universe, we believe you will definitely have broken through to the Universe Rank.

Your current points are the 100 points freely given by the company to Doomsday Secret Realm members. You can use these 100 points to purchase any item in the treasure vault list, as long as you have enough points.

We recommend that you purchase the Secret Arts needed for cultivation. The three years during your journey are the best time to cultivate Secret Arts.

Also!

We remind you, there's no need to waste time cultivating primal energy or psionic power.

From Stellar Rank First Order to Ninth Order, it's a quantitative accumulation, while breaking through from Stellar Rank Ninth Order to Universe Rank First Order is a leap in life genes.

Universe Rank First Order to Ninth Order, Domain Master First Order to Ninth Order, and World Master First Order to Ninth Order are all quantitative accumulations!

The breakthroughs between Planetary Level, Stellar Rank, Universe Rank, Domain Master, and World Master are leaps in life genes, belonging to qualitative breakthroughs.

Our Virtual Universe Corporation can spend incredibly precious resources to freely strengthen the bodies of every core member, increasing their primal energy and psionic power, allowing you to rise from First Order to Ninth Order in a short time, bringing your bodies to a saturated state.

As for "leaps in life genes" and qualitative breakthroughs, each core member needs to work hard to achieve those themselves.

Our Virtual Universe Corporation will not allow any core members to waste time accumulating energy. All core members should save their time to improve their combat power, comprehend Origin Laws, and learn Secret Arts!

Virtual Universe Corporation"

Gǔ Fēi smiled. As expected of the wealthy Virtual Universe Corporation, all core members could receive energy infusions, with resources provided free of charge to strengthen their bodies.

In the Cosmos Countries outside, which powerful being didn't spend a lot of time gradually absorbing energy from the universe to strengthen their bodies?

For each rank, from First Order to Ninth Order, the further one progressed, the more energy was required, and naturally, the more time was spent on it.

If everyone didn't have to spend time absorbing energy, but only focused on comprehending laws and perfecting Secret Arts, then people who might have barely broken through to Domain Master in their entire lives would have a great chance of breaking through to World Master, or even becoming an Immortal!

However, this kind of approach is only possible in the Original Universe, where resources are incredibly abundant.

For example, the Dongdi East Emperor Holy Land Universe, where Gǔ Fēi's Eastern Emperor Clan clone resides, is far smaller than the Original Universe, and the East Emperor Holy Land Universe's origin is also weak, leading to scarce resources.

In such a place, even if there were so many accumulated powerful beings that Marquis-level Immortals could serve as "kindergarten" teachers, it would be impossible to endlessly infuse energy into geniuses.

It can be said that the Original Universe has abundant resources, relatively few powerful beings, and precious knowledge.

On the other hand, the Dongdi East Emperor Holy Land Universe is ancient and developed, with precious resources, a great many powerful beings, and cheap knowledge.

Rarity makes things valuable. The countless Secret Arts created by generations of powerful beings accumulated in the Dongdi East Emperor Holy Land Universe naturally led to Secret Arts being extremely cheap and easy to acquire.

At least, the Secret Arts Gǔ Fēi saw in the Virtual Universe Corporation's treasure vault that were below 10,000 points, which is equivalent to Secret Arts created by Immortals below the Marquis-level, could generally be obtained for free from the academy by his Eastern Emperor Clan clone.

This is the knowledge foundation of the East Emperor Holy Land Universe. Secret Arts at the general Immortal level are merely used as "popular science readings" for children and can be obtained freely.

Of course, rare treasures or materials valued at 10,000 points in the treasure vault might be worth more than that in the Dongdi East Emperor Holy Land Universe.

"What a pity. If only I could be a middleman and trade resources and treasures back and forth, how great would that be."

Gǔ Fēi only fantasized for a moment. The jade pendant in his sea of consciousness could only allow his two bodies to share memories and comprehensions. Besides the knowledge in his mind and his Law Comprehension, he couldn't bring over any treasures.

Sitting cross-legged, Gǔ Fēi began to ponder.

He currently comprehended the Law of Wood and the Law of Space.

Among these two Origin Laws, his highest level of comprehension was in the Law of Wood, while the Law of Space had not yet crossed the Law threshold.

Gǔ Fēi knew that the Law of Wood was merely a subordinate law, and even if he fully comprehended it, he could only become an immortal.

To continue progressing, he had to further comprehend the superior law of the Law of Wood—the Law of Space.

To walk smoothly and quickly on the path of a powerful being, the earlier one comprehended the Law of Space, the better.

For instance, in the recently concluded Peak Genius Battle, although it was a very ordinary one, nine out of the top ten ultimately crossed the threshold of the Law of Space or the Law of Time, comprehending the superior laws early on.

Therefore, what Gǔ Fēi needed most now was a Secret Art that could help him comprehend the Law of Space and assist him in laying a good foundation.

As a member of the Doomsday Secret Realm, he was only given 100 points for free by the Virtual Universe Corporation. With so few points, he couldn't buy any good Secret Arts.

Moreover, points would be of great use later. Instead of wasting these few points, it would be better to let his Eastern Emperor Clan clone pick a good Space Secret Art.

After deciding, in the Dongdi East Emperor Holy Land Universe, Gǔ Fēi's Eastern Emperor Clan clone immediately went to the academy library.

Combining with the Secret Art list from the Virtual Universe Corporation's treasure vault, Gǔ Fēi spent a long time sifting through the academy library in the Dongdi East Emperor Holy Land Universe and finally selected a set of Space Law Secret Art, the "Thousand Body Array."

According to Gǔ Fēi's comparison and judgment, if this set of Secret Arts were in the Virtual Universe Corporation's treasure vault, it would cost at least two to three thousand points or more.

Although this set of Secret Arts was not the most top-tier among the free Secret Arts provided in the academy library, it was relatively simple and easy to learn. It was a Secret Art specifically explaining the basic application methods of the Space Origin Law's profound mysteries, making it perfectly suitable for assisting in cultivation.
