Primal Secret Realm, Wu Chen Continent.
Returning to his manor bedroom, Ender retrieved the world ring placed in the room, and his consciousness observed the world ring.
Within the world ring, a ten-kilometer-tall Gu Yu Ancient Tree main body stood on the continent, its massive canopy covering the sky and earth.
Innate Secret Technique — Branch Transfer!
The Gu Yu Ancient Tree swayed slightly, its leaves rustling. A several-meter-long branch broke off from the canopy and fell. Before the broken branch hit the ground, it had already taken root and sprouted, growing to the branch tree's limit of a hundred meters in just a moment.
"Strange, logically speaking, nesting behavior is not allowed by the Original Universe, but the current Gu Yu Ancient Tree Branch really seems like a Clone of the main body."
"The newly conceived second branch tree, its Soul still exists, and it didn't split off a portion of its Soul from the main tree like the first time it was conceived."
The newly conceived Gu Yu Ancient Tree second branch tree carefully felt its own Soul condition. "Aside from the Soul being a bit weaker when it first split, its current Soul strength is no different from my human main body."
Seeing that the newly conceived second branch tree had no problems, and its Soul still existed and could still comprehend Law as before, Ender felt much more at ease.
His consciousness returned from the world ring, and he entered the Virtual Universe, preparing to apply for the completion of his Cultivation mission.
...
Yu Xiang Mountain Primal Secret Realm Manor, Manor No. 115.
In the study, Ender summoned the light screen, clicked on the 'Backend Management' interface, and then, in the 'Cultivation' interface, applied to confirm the Cultivation mission completion.
"Hello, Your Highness Ender." A new light screen popped up, and a beautiful woman appeared on the light screen, asking in a gentle voice, "Are you applying to confirm your mission completion?"
"That's right." Ender nodded.
"May I ask, how many of the two Cultivation missions in Blood River World have Your Highness Ender completed?" the beautiful woman asked.
"Both are completed." Ender replied.
"Please wait a moment, Your Highness Ender. A Universe spaceship will soon arrive at the manor territory where Your Highness resides for real-world verification."
The beautiful woman said, "Once verified, Your Highness will receive the points reward."
Ender returned to reality and waited for the Virtual Universe Company staff to arrive while observing the beast god statue.
...
Several hours later.
A grey sword-shaped Universe spaceship, only a hundred meters long, arrived and stopped on the open ground of the manor territory.
Ender, accompanied by his guard captain Mullie and other guards, went to greet them.
"Hello, Your Highness Ender." The spaceship hatch opened, and four men and women in black uniforms walked out. The leading woman in black said, "Please enter the spaceship, Your Highness. Your guards do not need to come in."
"Alright."
Ender nodded and entered the spaceship, where there was a detection cabin.
The leading woman in black said, "Your Highness Ender, after entering the detection cabin, just follow the intelligent prompts."
These four men and women in black were all World Masters. Because they were not highly talented in combat, they belonged to the personnel who handled various affairs.
However, handling various affairs also had different statuses, and these four were personnel who handled core affairs. Naturally, they knew that Ender was a peerless Genius who appeared once in millions of eras, so their attitude was extremely respectful.
"Mm." Ender nodded and stepped into the detection cabin.
Inside the cabin.
An electronic voice sounded, "Ender, please take out a Blood River Crystal and place it on the table in front of you."
Ender placed a Blood River Crystal on the alloy table.
"First mission: obtain one Blood River Crystal, completed. Reward: 10,000 points." The electronic voice said, "Ender, please prove that you are a Blood Warrior and place your Blood River Medal on the table."
Swoosh!
The fifth-order Force Armor separated, revealing his bare chest. Ender activated the Blood River Power within his body, and instantly, blood-red secret patterns appeared on his chest. Although the secret patterns were simple, they were like a single entity and contained incredibly mysterious power.
With the appearance of the blood-red secret patterns, his compatibility with the various Origins of the Universe directly doubled. At the same time, he also threw the Blood River Medal onto the alloy table.
Blue light scanned Ender and the tabletop.
"Confirmed!"
"Ender, congratulations on completing the second mission, becoming a Blood Warrior and obtaining the Blood River Medal. You receive a 100,000-points reward." The electronic voice said.
"110,000 points in hand." A smile appeared on Ender's face. He was one step closer to exchanging for the fourth volume of the Divine Tree True Solution.
"Ender." A cold female voice sounded, "The information I am about to tell you through the Virtual Universe Network System will involve the secrets of my Virtual Universe Company. Please do not spread it."
"Mm." Ender nodded. He knew what the woman was going to say.
Seeing Ender calmly nod, the cold female voice paused for a moment, then continued, "According to the requirements, we will routinely inquire of anyone who enters Blood River World."
"Since you can become a Blood Warrior and can hand over a Blood River Crystal, you should have extra Blood River Crystals on you."
"Blood River Crystal, only available in Blood River World, is an extremely mysterious crystal in our vast Universe and is incredibly important."
"Among our Human Race, Blood River Crystal is designated as a 'forbidden item'. A 'forbidden item' is something absolutely prohibited from being sold. Once someone is found selling it,"
"Virtual Universe Company, Huge Axe Dojo, Universe Mercenary Alliance, Universe First Bank, and Universe Star River Bank will directly confiscate the Blood River Crystal and impose severe penalties."
Ender nodded. He knew a little about 'forbidden items', such as high-power weapons like planet destroyers and precious rare resources, which were all 'forbidden items' and could not be privately sold. If one wanted to buy or sell them, they had to go through the five Leviathans of Humanity.
The cold female voice said, "Your acquisition of Blood River Crystal is through legal and normal channels, and we will not seize it."
"However… you absolutely cannot sell Blood River Crystal to others; you can only use it yourself."
"If you want to gift it to someone else… please first submit an application to the Virtual Universe Company. Only after the application is approved can you gift it to someone else."
"Second, if you want to sell Blood River Crystal, our Virtual Universe Company is responsible for purchasing it at a price of 600 points per Blood River Crystal."
"The company's recycling price is only 600 points." Ender shook his head inwardly. "How precious is Blood River Crystal? Even Pinnacle-Level Immortal want to buy it and need to compete with each other. How could I possibly sell it for 600 points?"
"Once I Fusion Blood River Crystal to the limit and become a strong practitioner, I can apply to gift Blood River Crystal to outstanding juniors for their use."
However, he also understood that wanting to gift Blood River Crystal to outstanding juniors for their use, even becoming an Invincible King, was a bit uncertain. It would probably require a Universe Overlord-level strong practitioner to easily gift it to juniors for their use.
After all, strong practitioners had privileges. As long as they didn't cross the bottom line, even if they had various shortcomings, they could be tolerated.
"Are you willing to sell Blood River Crystal?" the cold voice asked.
"No." Ender shook his head. "I don't have many Blood River Crystals, and I need to use them myself for Fusion. I don't have any extra to sell."
"Mm." The cold voice did not continue on this matter. "Our conversation ends here. Today's conversation is confidential and must not be leaked."
"Understood." Ender nodded.
Immediately, the electronic voice sounded in the detection cabin, "Ender, the detection has ended. You may leave."
As the words fell, the hatch of the detection cabin also opened.
...
Standing on the lawn in front of the manor, Ender watched the sword-shaped spaceship depart. Manle's ten jars of cloud mist wine were also taken away after being inspected.
Returning to his bedroom, Ender began to ponder, "I just passed the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge and gained 25,600 points. But even so, I'm still tens of thousands of points away from the 300,000 points needed to buy the fourth volume of the Divine Tree True Solution." "To gain points, I still need to undertake Cultivation missions."
Since he didn't sell the Blood River Crystal, the only path left was to complete Cultivation missions.
He summoned the light screen and opened the Cultivation mission interface.
According to the rules of the Virtual Universe Company, only Universe Level Geniuses could accept Cultivation missions. Domain Master were dispatched, and World Master Level underwent life-and-death tempering.
As for Universe Level Geniuses, they could accept a maximum of 10 Cultivation missions every 100 years.
To prevent them from endlessly accepting missions, there was a limit to the total quota of missions each person could accept.
A Universe Level Genius could accept a maximum of three Impossible-Level Mission if they were a Primal Secret Realm member! An Absolute Beginning Secret Realm member could accept a maximum of two! Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and Last Phase Secret Realm members could only accept one Impossible-Level Mission at most!
This was also for safety considerations. If one's strength was insufficient and they accepted a Impossible-Level Mission, wouldn't that be seeking death?
Secondly, it was also about resource allocation.
Impossible-Level Missions were incredibly perilous, but the point rewards were also extremely exaggerated. Primal Secret Realm members could accept up to three, which was the highest.
For Dangerous Level missions, Primal Secret Realm members could accept up to 15! Absolute Beginning Secret Realm members could accept up to 10! Heaven and Earth Secret Realm members could accept up to 6! Last Phase Secret Realm members could accept up to 3!
Among them, the rewards for Dangerous Level missions were at least 100,000 points, some were several hundred thousand points, and even millions of points!
And the rewards for Dangerous Level missions were generally 10,000-20,000 points, with a maximum of 100,000 points.
Difficult Level missions were all 1,000-2,000 points.
Normal Level missions were all 100-200 points.
As for Safe Level, they were pitifully few and could be ignored!
"Among the Dangerous Level missions in the Primal Secret Realm…"
"Wei Si Ka Planet, there's only one mission, with a reward of 20,000 points." Ender flipped through the Dangerous Level mission list. "You're the one!"
Months later, Ender returned from Wei Si Ka Planet, having completed the Cultivation mission and gained 20,000 points.
In the following days, he accepted three more Dangerous Level missions, and after completing them, he gained 30,000 points. He was still over 10,000 points short of purchasing the fourth volume of the Divine Tree True Solution.
However, he did not find the secret of these three worlds, so besides the point rewards, he had no additional income.
...
"Titan God World…"
Looking at the mission list on the light screen in front of him, Ender also glanced at Taas World, which was ranked lower on the mission list. Just as he was about to click to apply, he received a video call request from Manle.
Ender clicked accept, and Manle's face appeared on the light screen.
"Ender!" As soon as Manle's face appeared, he heard him shout, "Do you still have that cloud mist wine?"
Ender said exasperatedly, "No!"
"No?" Manle's expression froze slightly, then he said somewhat dejectedly, "This cloud mist wine tastes really good. I originally planned to give it to my imperial father to taste when I went back, but I accidentally finished it."
"It's really gone!" Ender shook his head. "Only Kedi's ten jars are left. Besides drinking some myself, I gave some of mine away."
Hearing this, Manle couldn't very well snatch Kedi's ten jars, so he could only ask, "Then where did you get this cloud mist wine?"
"Where…" Ender pondered, "The Virtual Universe Company only said not to reveal the secret of Blood River Crystal, it didn't say not to reveal the existence of Blood River World. How about… I try?"
Thinking of this, he feigned helplessness, "If you want it, go to Blood River World in the Dangerous Level Cultivation missions."
"Dangerous Level, Blood River World." Manle repeated, then nodded heavily, "It's just a Dangerous Level Cultivation mission. Kedi even dares to accept Impossible Level Cultivation missions. It's no problem for me to accept a Impossible Level one."
"What did you say?" Ender was slightly stunned, then pressed, "You just said Kedi accepted a Impossible Level mission."
"Yeah?" Manle nodded. "This was before you passed the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge."
Ender nodded, "I see."
"Ender!" Manle's expression changed. "You're not going to accept a Impossible Level mission too, are you?"
Ender smiled, "Not for now. I'm not as strong as Kedi."
Hearing this, Manle's tense face relaxed. "That's good. I thought you were stimulated by Kedi and also wanted to accept a Impossible Level mission."
"How could that be." Ender smiled, then chatted with Manle for a while before hanging up the video call.
...
"I might as well accept a Impossible Level mission!" Looking at the Cultivation mission list, Ender narrowed his eyes. "Kedi, without the ability to Clone, dares to accept Impossible Level Cultivation missions. I, with the ability to Clone, can certainly accept one too!"
Knowing that Kedi was undertaking a Impossible Level Cultivation mission, and viewing him as a competitor, he didn't want to fall too far behind.
Moreover, it had been a long time since he had encountered a life-threatening situation, even after completing five 'Impossible Level' Cultivation missions.
Of course, not encountering danger had a lot to do with his cautiousness.
Ender tapped his finger on the light screen, and the interface returned to the Cultivation mission options. Without hesitation, he directly clicked on the 'Impossible Level' category.
Beep, beep, beep…
The moment his finger pressed down, the light screen flashed red, and a piercing alert sound rang out simultaneously.
"Ender, we solemnly remind you, this is a Impossible Level mission. Many Primal Secret Realm and Absolute Beginning Secret Realm members in the history of our Virtual Universe Company have lost their lives accepting Impossible Level missions. We suggest you… try accepting Impossible Level missions after experiencing a few more qualification battles."
The electronic alert sounded, "To retreat, please select cancel. To accept a Impossible Level mission, please select confirm."
"Once confirmed, there is no turning back."
"You must execute the Impossible Level mission!"
Ender clicked confirm.
Beep!
The page on the light screen automatically refreshed, revealing a brand new page. Only when one truly began a Impossible Level mission could this page be seen.
At the top of the page was a line of text — "Impossible Level Mission, death rate is 90%. To survive from the brink, you need strength and luck. You can choose your Impossible Levell mission a maximum of three times. Please choose carefully."
"The following is the Impossible Level mission list:
1. Purgatory Abyss (Virtual Universe Company Primal Secret Realm)
...
2. Cloud Palace (Huge Axe Dojo God Origin Secret Realm)
...
8. Devil Mountain (Virtual Universe Company Absolute Beginning Secret Realm)
...
12. Death Star (Universe Mercenary Alliance Glory Secret Realm)
...
18. Blood Demon Continent (Universe First Bank Dripping Blood Secret Realm)"
"There are a total of 18 Impossible Level missions, four of which are in the four great Secret Realms of the Virtual Universe Company, and the rest are in the Secret Realms under the other four Great Giants."
Ender looked at each of the Impossible Level missions, whose names alone conveyed a strong sense of crisis, and thought to himself, "There's no need to go to the Devil Mountain mission. The Legacy Hall inside is guarded by Immortal-level beings. I don't have the ability to conceal my aura and form, so it's impossible to enter the Legacy Hall."
"Then…" After thinking for a while, he looked at one of the Cultivation missions. "You're the one!"
