Chapter 48: Your Ideas Are Great, But in the Next Moment, They Are Mine

"Travel to a world, and reside there permanently?"

Inside the Desolate Tower, Qingdi, who had yet to fully comprehend the first half of the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique, raised an eyebrow.

He was not particularly interested in going to different worlds.

Within the Zhetian Great Universe, he had basically traveled through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and various Cave Heavens and blessed lands before he became a Great Emperor.

In the vast Universe, he had seen all kinds of peculiar cultivation, civilizations, and worlds.

He had once slaughtered Holy Spirits who claimed to be invincible in heaven and on earth and could rival a Great Emperor once they emerged, and he had also, in his high-spirited youth, stepped into Forbidden Zones and roamed places known as Forbidden Lands.

Traveling to a brand-new world did not hold much appeal for Qingdi.

"With this effort, wouldn't it be better if I spent my energy comprehending the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique and truly opening up an Immortal Realm?"

Qingdi shook his head; he was not very interested in this brand-new ability.

However, because of the appearance of the new function, the world levels—in addition to their own cultivation levels—also appeared behind the many figures in the Chat Group.

Qingdi glanced at them casually, and then he could no longer keep his composure.

I Slept for Ten Thousand Years (Tier 3), World Level: Tier 9 (World characteristics: Abundant Immortal Substance; one can achieve immortality from Tier 5 and above. Note: This is the official Tier 5, not the Tier 5 mentioned by that world.)

Not Wanting to Be a Monk's Meng Qi (Tier 2), World Level: Tier 11 (World characteristics: Manipulating rules, toying with time.)

I Want to Be The Hero (Tier 1), World Level: Tier 5 (World characteristics: Elementary Immortal Xia world; meet to ride the wind, eliminate demons between heaven and earth. Note: If you wish to go to this world, you need to suppress your corresponding strength and cannot exceed the world's ceiling. If you can go to the Immortal Realm, you can achieve immortality at Tier 5.)

Qingdi suddenly lost his composure; he looked back at the world he was in, where the combat power ceiling was Tier 8, and his world was also called Tier 8.

"This..."

Thinking that he had painstakingly raised his strength to Tier 7, yet could only live for ten thousand years, Qingdi could not help but lose his composure.

In other worlds, reaching Tier 5 allowed one to be immortal and carefree.

The Immortal Substance was so abundant that it made one envious, while he could only live for ten thousand years even after reaching Tier 7; it was truly too unfair.

Such a state was enough to make one die of anger.

"Travel to a world?"

Originally, Qingdi was not interested in the previous rules and was even a bit annoyed that the Chat Group had woken him up, but now his eyes lit up again.

"One can achieve immortality at Tier 5, so with my current state, I could basically achieve immortality immediately upon going there."

Then, Qingdi could not help but be moved, wanting to go to other worlds to take a look.

Not for anything else, just to see the unique scenery of heaven and earth and experience different customs; as for immortality, sigh, that was just a bonus.

Going to the world of I Want to Be The Hero was quite cheap; Qingdi took a look and found he could easily pay the required points.

But thinking of the noted combat power ceiling of only Tier 5, he thought for a moment and then actively shook his head.

His current strength already far exceeded Tier 5 and had reached the level of Tier 7.

Martial arts cultivation has always gone from low to high; he had never heard of going from high to low, and he was unwilling to accept his strength level going downward.

Although the Ancient Emperors and Supremes in the Forbidden Zones were willing to shave off some of their strength for the sake of becoming an Immortal and achieving immortality, they would not shave off that much, and besides, there were better options now.

Whether it was the Tier 11 world of that being who did not want to be a monk, or the Tier 9 world of the one who slept for ten thousand years, Qingdi was quite interested.

"Of course, I must go to the strongest world, once and for all. Let me see the points required to stay in such a world permanently..."

Qingdi glanced at the long string of zeros behind it and decisively withdrew his gaze.

"It is better to be down-to-earth. Now that I am at Tier 7, going to a Tier 9 world is quite good. I can break through two levels in a row, and when I reach a stronger level of strength, it will be better to try for higher realms. Hmm, one cannot be too ambitious."

Qingdi looked at the world where Chen Nan was and carefully examined the corresponding exchange points.

The long string of zeros behind those points made his brow furrow slightly, but he felt it was still acceptable.

"One million points... It is a bit expensive, but being able to go to a place similar to an Immortal Realm, this cost is not too exaggerated."

As Qingdi's thoughts turned, he had once communicated with the Chat Group that if he were to trade the Desolate Tower directly, the Desolate Tower would be worth 500,000 points.

Basically, the Desolate Tower could cover half the points for traveling to a world.

And the top-tier divine arts and techniques from the Zhetian Universe, although their overall point value was not high, had the advantage of being long-lasting; once someone downloaded them, he could receive a portion of the points.

Qingdi did not think there was any problem with such a transaction; he even felt the Chat Group was quite conscientious—as long as the divine manuals were hung up there, he could receive earnings.

In the long run, the top-tier divine manuals left behind were much more valuable than the Desolate Tower.

As long as one was willing to wait, a million points were not that difficult to obtain.

Any person who achieved the status of Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor, if they had such an opportunity, would likely find it easy to collect goods worth a million points.

Whether it was the Undying Divine Medicine or the most supreme Immortal Gold in the world capable of forging Great Emperor-level weapons.

For the most supreme figures standing in the Human World, these were easy to obtain, and accumulating a million points would not take too long.

And the Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors throughout history had all wanted to become Immortals, yet no one had ever truly been heard of reaching the Immortal Realm; exchanging a million points was quite worthwhile.

"A broken Immortal Fragment that can only accommodate a few Immortals is enough to make the Ancient Emperors and Supremes of past generations go one after another. Now, to visit a world not inferior to the Immortal Realm, such a price is indeed acceptable."

Qingdi admitted that he was indeed tempted.

"However, I still have to wait for a while; I cannot be too hasty!"

A million points was not a small number even for Qingdi; he needed to consider it.

Moreover, he was currently in a wonderful state of comprehending the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique, thinking of relying on himself to become a Red Dust Immortal or walking out a brand-new path, and he did not want to go to a Great World he was not very familiar with right now.

"It seems I cannot stay in the Desolate Tower to cultivate all the time; I must try to go out and move around a bit."

Qingdi was partially moved, but he was not yet very anxious.

He was still silently calculating.

"There are many scriptures of Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors in Beidou, but it is not easy to get the scriptures of those established clans. Although there are treasures everywhere, one still has to consider how to handle them."

No matter what, Qingdi was a person of status in history and could not bring himself to just randomly take other people's things.

Compared to his previous indifference, the current Qingdi was indeed moved by many thoughts.

Originally, he had prepared to open up a world within the Desolate Tower—success or death—and had thrown everything outside. He didn't care what was lost, but now thinking about it, he felt a bit of heartache.

"Sigh, so many spiritual artifacts, so many treasures, and that page of gold paper recording the Dao Scripture, that fragment from the Bronze Immortal Cauldron that came from the Emperor—those were all good things... and I just threw them away!"

Originally, Qingdi was quite indifferent; after all, he was already a top-tier Great Emperor of his generation and could be considered a Grandmaster. Since he had chosen to venture onto the Immortal Path, everything else was merely passing smoke and clouds, better left behind to benefit future generations.

But now, seeing the hope of taking a step further, Qingdi began to feel slightly tempted.

Behind the Chat Group, Zhang Xuan watched Qingdi's conflicted and pained expression, and his heart immediately began to race with excitement.

He even wished he could jump in front of Qingdi to make a list, asking Qingdi to help him fetch the many Ancient Emperor scriptures and Great Emperor scriptures he was interested in.

At the same time, he would list another Medicine King list, asking Qingdi to get him some Undying Medicine.

But Zhang Xuan still managed to suppress this impulse; the timing was now sufficiently prepared, and the next step was to wait for the seeds to take root and sprout in everyone's hearts.

"And it's not just Qingdi; the potential of others must also be tapped as much as possible. If there is no demand, create demand!"

"They are all protagonists and children of destiny in their respective worlds, and they are incredibly wealthy. The Chat Group is about mutual help; I help them understand their fates and avoid many dangers, so of course, they should reward me a little bit!"

Zhang Xuan gestured with his index finger and thumb; he really only wanted a little bit.

He was not greedy at all!

Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi: 【Speaking of which, shouldn't the Chat Group already be developed to its best? Why does it still need to be upgraded?】

Meng Qi indeed had this doubt in his heart.

The Chat Group even had a Group Owner and three top-tier Administrators, each of whom was a dragon among men and an extremely formidable figure.

Logically speaking, the Chat Group should have already reached its maximum level, with all kinds of functions unlocked; it shouldn't be like it is now, with only partial functions.

He asked the question, while simultaneously having his own guesses in his heart.

I Slept for Ten Thousand Years: 【Perhaps the Chat Group encountered some kind of disaster before, just like the Heavenly Dao destroying the world in the world I am in; many functions are in a dormant state and have not been fully deployed.】

Chen Nan spoke actively; he was not interested in traveling through worlds, but he was very interested in the various Group Files in the Chat Group.

Logically speaking, with such a powerful Group Owner and Administrators, the group should have more and richer Group Files.

Instead of being lonely and left with only a portion like it is now.

He guessed that the Chat Group might have experienced an event similar to the Heavenly Dao destroying the world, just like the world he was in.

Everything was wiped clean, leaving behind a vast, white, and truly empty void.

That is why it is so empty, and all the Group Files and related items are in the process of being restored.

He spoke casually, but upon hearing his words, Meng Qi's heart stirred, and the corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth curled up even further.

"I hadn't even thought of an excuse yet, and you all took the initiative to round it out for me!"

"Your ideas are excellent; the next moment, it will be mine."
