"A dangerous place? For my teacher, a fourth-tier Top-tier Universe Master, to call a place dangerous, it must be one of the three Dangerous Lands of the Universe Ocean."
Ender's eyes were drawn to the golden spear emanating pressure. "Tilted Peak Realm, Universe Boat, Flowing Overlapping Mountains—which of these Dangerous Lands did this 'Dragon Awakening Spear' come from? Why do I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity?"
The Ice Summit Master looked at Ender, seeing his eyes fixed on the 'Dragon Awakening Spear' in his hand. He slightly raised his hand, and the golden spear flew out of his grasp.
The golden spear flew up and slowly moved towards Ender, finally hovering not far in front of him.
"You should be able to feel the pressure emanating from the 'Dragon Awakening Spear'. This is a unique symbol of a Heavy Treasure."
The Ice Summit Master softly said, "Under normal circumstances, weapon-type Heavy Treasure, even when refined, are difficult to disguise. But this 'Dragon Awakening Spear' is different."
"Different?"
Ender was startled by the words and immediately recalled his memories, realizing that weapon-type Heavy Treasure were indeed difficult to disguise under normal circumstances.
Because the Heavy Treasure's pressure comes from its own essence, and the Human Race's form dictates the use of physical weapons in combat, meaning the weapon cannot merge into the body.
Armor-type Heavy Treasure are different; once refined, they can merge into the body to form a defensive force field, allowing one to disguise as an Immortal by relying on the Heavy Treasure's pressure.
"This 'Dragon Awakening Spear' is quite special; you'll understand once you refine it."
The Ice Summit Master said indifferently, "Precisely because it's special, I've never revealed it to the world since I obtained it."
"After you use it to disguise yourself as an Immortal, unless a powerful existence of my Rank controls a spatial-temporal region, no one will be able to tell that you are a World Master without probing your Soul."
"Special..." Ender's curiosity was piqued by the words.
What was so special about this 'Dragon Awakening Spear' that made him feel an inexplicable familiarity and even made his teacher find it unique?
Thinking this, he extended his right hand and gripped the long spear, which had golden dragons coiling around its surface, imprinting his spiritual mark upon it.
Boom!
Suddenly, a tremendous power surged into Ender's body, and at the same time, a profound and mysterious pressure emanated from within him, as if this pressure originated from his Soul and body.
Then, a message entered his consciousness—the information of this 'Dragon Awakening Spear'...
The Dragon Awakening Spear, in addition to the basic secret patterns on the spear body, contains three layers of special secret patterns. Refining it grants the first layer of secret pattern blessings, enhancing the refiner's body.
The second layer of secret pattern...
The third layer of secret pattern...
Although a message was transmitted to his consciousness, Ender could only see the first layer of secret patterns; the subsequent secret patterns were invisible and could not be activated.
"Teacher, this..."
Feeling the immense power in his body, Ender was shocked, because his current base power exceeded one hundred thousand times the power of a World Master!
Not only that, but he could also feel his physical strength greatly enhanced. Even without testing, he was certain that his physical strength had reached, or even surpassed, the durability of F-grade metal!
"Now, do you understand its special qualities?" The Ice Summit Master said softly, a hint of regret in his eyes.
When he first obtained the 'Dragon Awakening Spear', he had tried to activate its latter two secret patterns countless times over the years, but to no avail.
The reason he bestowed this precious Heavy Treasure upon Ender was because the latter had obtained an Ancient Inheritance from Flowing Overlapping Mountains, which was said to be able to unlock its secrets.
Ender nodded respectfully, "Thank you, Teacher, for bestowing this Heavy Treasure."
Trading the Frost Armor for the 'Dragon Awakening Spear', a Heavy Treasure, he made a huge profit!
"With this Dragon Awakening Spear, you will have the capital to venture into the vast Universe. As long as you don't encounter enemies of the Universe Venerable Rank, you will have the ability to protect yourself."
The Ice Summit Master softly said, "Now I will give you a data file containing the coordinates of numerous Universe Secret Realm. Except for a few Secret Realm that temper one's will, most of them are Secret Realm that the Beast God of Wood and other Beast God have visited."
Suddenly, Little Dawn's voice entered Ender's mind, "Master, you've received an email. The sender is 'Teacher'."
The Ice Summit Master softly said, "You've received both the treasure and the data. Go back, prepare, and then set off."
"Yes, Disciple takes his leave."
Ender bowed respectfully and exited the mansion's garden.
After Ender departed, the Ice Summit Master took out another wine glass and placed it on the stone table.
The next moment, a man wearing dark red battle armor and a scaled tail appeared, sitting opposite him at the stone table.
The man had two fiery red horns on his forehead and strange secret patterns on his face, making him appear fierce. However, his eyes were as calm as the vast ocean, like the endless starry sky, making people involuntarily feel at peace.
This person was none other than the controller of the Virtual Universe Company, the Primal Chaos City Lord!
"Junior Brother, you're truly generous." The Primal Chaos City Lord smiled, "Counting the Heavy Treasure you just bestowed, that little fellow now has two Heavy Treasure, including a precious Soul-type Heavy Treasure."
"As my Disciple, his talent and opportunities are both top-tier in the history of our Human Race. If he isn't given enough treasures to protect himself, and he perishes, that would be a true pity."
The Ice Summit Master softly said, "Speaking of which, is just one Heavy Treasure enough for your Disciple, Senior Brother?"
"Since you, Junior Brother, are so generous, how could I be stingy?" The Primal Chaos City Lord smiled, "Once he passes the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain, and can compare to the most top-tier Genius of our Human Race, I will also bestow him a Heavy Treasure for protection."
The Ice Summit Master nodded slightly at the words. "Senior Brother, your Disciple's talent and opportunities are good. Passing the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain is only a matter of time."
"He's still a bit behind your Disciple." The Primal Chaos City Lord smiled, "However, his hope of becoming a Universe Master is slightly higher than your Disciple's."
In the history of the Human Race, no one had ever achieved Universe Master through the Beast God Path. All Universe Master achieved their Rank by comprehending the two supreme Law of Time and Space.
Even Star Prison Devil Lord, one of the three Top-tier Universe Overlord, was still stuck at the final step of transforming into a Beast God.
"This is the path he chose himself. I offered him three Clone resource suggestions, which included 'Drum Horn Shock Beast' with Time and Space Law talent."
The Ice Summit Master shook his head slightly at the words, "But what he chose was the 'Gu Yu Ancient Tree' with Wood-Space Fusion talent."
The Primal Chaos City Lord sighed, "Although he has talent in the Beast God Path, it will be very difficult for him to reach our level of strength through the Beast God Path."
"I hope he can become the first person in our Human Race to Breakthrough and become a Universe Master through the Beast God Path."
The Ice Summit Master softly said, "If even he, who has obtained the Ancient Inheritance, cannot do it, then..."
At this, the Primal Chaos City Lord fell silent. If even someone with an Ancient Inheritance could not achieve Universe Master through the Beast God Path, then it would be even harder for others to Breakthrough in the future!
The Ice Summit Master said, "With his talent and opportunities, even if he cannot be the first to Breakthrough in the future, he will still become another Top-tier Universe Overlord of our Human Race."
The Primal Chaos City Lord sighed, "Hearing you say that, I do hope he can be the first to Breakthrough..."
...
While the two great existences conversed.
Ender had already left the mansion and found an empty room in Primal Chaos City to stay in.
He came to the quiet room, sat down cross-legged, took out the 'Dragon Awakening Spear', and held it respectfully with both hands, observing it carefully.
"I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this Dragon Awakening Spear, but the problem is I can't access the information of those two layers of secret patterns, and it seems my teacher is the same."
Ender could sense that the Dragon Awakening Spear was far from simple; it didn't seem like an ordinary Heavy Treasure.
"Although I can't access the information of the latter two layers of secret patterns, just the first layer of secret patterns activated by refining it has greatly enhanced my strength."
He thought to himself, "With my enhanced physical strength, if I buy a decent armor-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure, my strength could reach the Limit Stage King-Level, and perhaps even approach Invincible Stage!"
Heavy Treasure are incredibly powerful. Although he couldn't determine the extent to which the Dragon Awakening Spear could enhance his offensive power, it could at least compensate for the low efficiency of his World Master Level power in annihilating Immortal Energy.
"Now that I have the Dragon Awakening Spear, the only thing left is an armor-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure."
Thinking this, his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe.
...
Hong Alliance Virtual City.
Ender came to King Relentless Pursuer's residence to meet him. The two sat opposite each other in the less than one-thousand-square-meter living room.
He got straight to the point, "King Relentless Pursuer, I came to ask if your group has a way to purchase pseudo-Heavy Treasure?"
"Pseudo-Heavy Treasure?"
King Relentless Pursuer sighed helplessly at the words, "King Verdant End, although pseudo-Heavy Treasure are not true Heavy Treasure, they possess some of the power of Heavy Treasure."
"Our group is only composed of King Immortal from weak and ordinary races. If such treasures as pseudo-Heavy Treasure were to enter our group, they would be bought up very quickly."
"Don't laugh when I say this, but my teacher is a Universe Venerable, and for a long time after he became an Venerable, he couldn't obtain a true Heavy Treasure."
King Relentless Pursuer sighed, "Our race, backed by the Hong Alliance, is still relatively well off. For those weak and ordinary races that band together for warmth in distant Universe territories, ordinary Universe Venerable mostly use pseudo-Heavy Treasure."
"Is that so..." Ender frowned slightly at the words.
He had been hoping to purchase an armor-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure from King Relentless Pursuer at a price lower than the market value, but he hadn't expected pseudo-Heavy Treasure to be in such high demand.
King Relentless Pursuer suggested, "King Verdant End, you are a member of the Human Race and have a powerful teacher. You can absolutely purchase a pseudo-Heavy Treasure from your race."
As he offered the advice, he felt immense envy. If his race could be stronger, he too would have the opportunity to purchase pseudo-Heavy Treasure.
Ender shook his head slightly and sighed, "I've only been an Immortal for too short a time; I don't have enough contribution."
At this, King Relentless Pursuer suddenly understood, "That's true."
Only then did he remember that while the Human Race was powerful and wealthy, their control over resource allocation was very strict, allowing for the most rational distribution possible.
Treasures like pseudo-Heavy Treasure and Heavy Treasure could only be purchased after contributing enough to the race.
King Relentless Pursuer then suggested, "Well, you have enough wealth. You can go to the second floor of Universe Treasure Hall, the largest goods store in Hong Alliance Virtual City, to purchase pseudo-Heavy Treasure."
Ender asked curiously, "Universe Treasure Hall's second floor sells pseudo-Heavy Treasure? Isn't it usually bartering?"
"The second floor of Universe Treasure Hall is also very vast. Although only four-star members and above, and three-star members and below with over a hundred billion Mixed unit in wealth, are allowed to enter, there are indeed pseudo-Heavy Treasure for sale."
King Relentless Pursuer hesitated for a moment, "However, the quality of those pseudo-Heavy Treasure..."
"What's wrong?" Ender pressed, "Is there a problem with those pseudo-Heavy Treasure?"
King Relentless Pursuer replied, "It's not really a problem; it's just that the quality of those pseudo-Heavy Treasure is relatively poor. Only those lower-quality pseudo-Heavy Treasure are sold, rather than being bartered."
"A little lower quality is fine." Ender breathed a slight sigh of relief at the words.
No matter how poor a pseudo-Heavy Treasure was, it still had some of the power of a Heavy Treasure, and it was definitely better than ninth-tier weapons and armor.
He was buying an armor-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure not to fight Universe Venerable, but merely for opponents of the Pinnacle Pinnacle Limit Rank, so even a lower-quality pseudo-Heavy Treasure would suffice.
"King Verdant End, if you don't mind me asking, what type of pseudo-Heavy Treasure are you looking to buy?" King Relentless Pursuer asked curiously.
"Armor-type." Ender stood up to bid farewell, "Thank you, I'm heading to Universe Treasure Hall now."
"Armor-type?"
King Relentless Pursuer's eyes widened as he watched Ender's departing back, feeling incredibly surprised.
King Verdant End was known as a powerful expert renowned for his defensive capabilities. Everyone had speculated that he possessed a compatible armor-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure or Heavy Treasure for protection.
But to his surprise, he was now going to purchase an armor-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure. Didn't this imply that his astonishing defensive capabilities in the past were not due to a pseudo-Heavy Treasure or Heavy Treasure, but rather his own created defensive secret technique?
"Could it be that King Verdant End truly relied on his own defensive secret technique to withstand King Annihilating Roar's Immortal Energy burning attack?"
King Relentless Pursuer was inwardly shocked. "If that's truly the case, then once King Verdant End acquires an armor-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure, his strength will undoubtedly improve further. It's likely that even a powerful expert nearing Invincible Stage won't be able to kill him."
...
After leaving King Relentless Pursuer, Ender prepared to head to Universe Treasure Hall.
Because his bank account held over a hundred billion Mixed unit, he smoothly entered the second floor of Universe Treasure Hall.
Upon reaching the second floor, he saw many precious Materials like Glazed Star Gold and Void Luo Crystals, as well as a small number of weapon and armor-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure.
Seeing that armor-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure were for sale, Ender slowly began to examine them, carefully reading the detailed description of each armor-type pseudo-Heavy Treasure.
Wrathful Lion Overlord Armor, Illusory Bright Spirit Armor, Blazing God's Nightmare Armor...
He carefully read the detailed descriptions of these well-known armor pieces, finding that the quality of these pseudo-Heavy Treasure was indeed not high, often only able to weaken physical attacks to one percent.
"'Hundred Fiends Battle Spirit Armor'!"
Suddenly, Ender saw a pseudo-Heavy Treasure armor of decent quality, priced at 4 trillion Mixed unit, which was within his affordable range.
He asked the Universe Treasure Hall staff, "Excuse me, can I pay a deposit to reserve this armor?"
"Yes, you can pay a deposit of 40 billion Mixed unit. This armor will not be sold for one hundred years, but you must pay the remaining amount within one hundred years, otherwise the deposit will be forfeited as compensation." The staff member replied.
"This armor. I'll pay the deposit now." Ender immediately paid 40 billion Mixed unit, reserving the 'Hundred Fiends Battle Spirit Armor'.
Just a few years later, he sold the treasures he had obtained from exploring the Holy Lands, receiving 3.2 trillion Mixed unit, which, combined with his existing 800 billion Mixed unit, allowed him to successfully purchase the 'Hundred Fiends Battle Spirit Armor'.
After the pseudo-Heavy Treasure armor was delivered to him, Ender set off to adventure in the Universe Secret Realm, and his first stop was a Secret Realm that could temper his will.
