Chapter 303

"Sancai, aren't you of the Human Race? How can you still be helping the Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race forge Top-level Treasures!" Jiang Shen asked, saying his neutrality was maintained in order to realize his dream of forging the Strongest Supreme Treasure.

Otherwise Jiang Shen would also attach himself to a super power, but once attached, he could no longer forge treasures for hostile forces.

"Lao Shan, think about it: if I forge a Top-level Treasure for the four races, I can obtain materials for ten Top-level Treasures, which is equivalent to my Human Race gaining ten Top-level Treasures. The more I forge for them, the more treasures my Human Race will have," Yan Sancai smiled, "Moreover, whether Insect Race, Demon Race, or Mechanical Race, they each possess some precious materials that my Human Race lacks."

"Oh, but if that's the case, and the Lord of the Universe of your Human Race finds out, he probably won't spare you," Jiang Shen sighed, "Although you think so, your Human Race's Lord of the Universe may not think that way."

Each Lord of the Universe has his own personality, his own obsessions and character flaws, and not every one thinks comprehensively.

"If someday the Human Race discards you, you and I can go rogue together," Jiang Shen said solemnly, showing he was not afraid of the Human Race.

"Ha ha, Lao Shan, then we could come up with a striking combo name," Yan Sancai smiled, his eyes hazy as if daydreaming, "Thanks for your kindness, but I don't think that day will come. My identity is known to some high officials of the Human Race."

"Who? Great Axe or Hun Dun?" Jiang Shen asked curiously.

"They should all know," Yan Sancai said uncertainly.

"They wouldn't..." Jiang Shen said.

When Hong advanced to Immortal level, Xiao Yu had even teleported via the Divine Kingdom to congratulate him, and presented him with a High-level Treasure as a celebration.

After Yan Sancai's avatar revealed its identity, it kept using the Yan Sancai persona, appearing on Jiang Shen Mountain once every thousand years and each time accepting a hundred Ultimate Treasure refinement requests.

"No, Luo Feng is my brother!" Yan Sancai continued.

The Ultimate Treasures these Universe Venerables wish to refine are all over the place; the highest are only High-level Treasures, most are ordinary Ultimate Treasures, the rewards are modest, but they accumulate over time.

In a thousand years, Xiao Yu can also amass materials for about ten ordinary Top-level Ultimate Treasures.

"Truly unprecedented!" Jiang Shen sighed, recalling that even at the highest before, the Universe Venerables at the mountain's foot never numbered more than thirty thousand.

"Luo Feng has only four brothers: one is the financial prodigy Luo Hua, another joined the Human Race mercenary alliance and is called Lei Shen, now only Immortal Level; a third is Hong, who entered the Virtual Universe Company and has just broken through Immortal Level; and the only one who has risen to become a Universe Venerable is Xiao Yu. You are Xiao Yu." Jiang Shen was especially familiar with everything around Luo Feng, after all the teacher Zuo Shan Ke had asked him to keep a close watch.

Because Xiao Yu was receiving requests so frequently on such a massive scale.

It has now exceeded three hundred thousand—truly terrifying.

"Earth Lineage?" Jiang Shen exclaimed in surprise: "You aren't the new Earth Lineage leader that teacher Zuo Shan Ke guided, Luo Feng, are you? That can't be, right? Isn't Luo Feng still not Immortal yet?"

Across the universe, countless Universe Venerables sprang into action, heading toward Jiang Shen Star.

If these individuals united to attack, even any Lord of the Universe would have to fear. Fortunately, all these Universe Venerables are solely after treasure.

"Jiang Shen, truly worthy of the name. I only said two characters, and you already know my name," Yan Sancai praised.

The Universe Venerables gathered at Jiang Shen Mountain number in the hundreds of thousands, exceeding the count held by any single super power in the universe.

"Don't worry, Lao Shan, I will be fine," Yan Sancai said. "Although the Human Race once produced a traitor, that was an exception with its own particularity. At least I won't become the next one, and our Earth Lineage won't become the next either."

Xiao Yu gazed at the palaces at the mountain's foot as if they were chives, each waiting for him and Jiang Shen to reap.

A thousand years later, Xiao Yu not only handed over the hundred Ultimate Treasures, but also transferred five top-level rare Ultimate Treasures to the four major forces: two Top-level Ultimate Treasures for the Human Race, one for the Crystal Tribe, one for the Prison Tribe, and one for the Insect Race.

"Sancai Master, may I ask whether you have any intention of aligning with a particular faction?" the Crystal Tribe Universe Overlord said softly, his voice earnest. "If Sancai Master joins our Crystal Tribe, your status will be equivalent to the Lord of the Universe; if your power ascends to Lord of the Universe, your status will also rise."

"Sorry, Yi Cai Venerable, I currently have no intention of joining any faction," Yan Sancai declined. "But I will continue to serve all of you generous friends."

Just now Yan Sancai received another act of goodwill from the Crystal Tribe.

"Then, when our tribe next requires an Ultimate Treasure to be refined, we will certainly ask the Master to do so," Yi Cai Venerable said softly.

"Hmm." Yan Sancai nodded slightly.

Xiao Yu's Yan Sancai avatar not only rejected the Crystal Tribe's invitation, but also turned down the other two factions' invitations, and the Golden Axe Elder who arrived from the Human Race, already aware of the circumstances, did not issue an invitation.

Xiao Yu not only rejected the invitations of these three factions, but will also refuse invitations from the other five major forces in the future, even those from the Primordial Universe's leading Ancestor God Sect.

The Ultimate Treasure handovers for the Human Race, Crystal Tribe, and the other two of the four major forces were completed, and the representatives of the remaining five major forces grew anxious.

"Everyone, my power is limited; the remaining Top-level Treasures will be handed over to you after three thousand years," Yan Sancai shouted loudly.

"Sancai Master, no rush," the Mechanical Race Universe Venerable said, as if he had become a different person.

The members of the other four factions also spoke like the Mechanical Race Venerable.

"Haha, then the five of you, see you in three thousand years," Xiao Yu said, and then ceased to attend to those five Universe Overlords.

Continuing to accept commissions, the hundred-year Ultimate Treasure still tops out at High-level Treasure, with no Top-level Treasure.

……

At the foot of Jiang Shen Mountain, a group of Universe Venerables gathered together.

"Golden Axe Elder, have the Human Race invited Sancai Master?" Yi Cai Venerable asked curiously.

"Haha, guess," Golden Axe Elder said with a smile.

"How could Sancai Master favor your Human Race! He will definitely choose our Northern Frontier Alliance," said a top-level Universe Overlord of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

"You all seem to be mistaken; he will definitely join our Insect Race Alliance!" said a stunning Universe Overlord of the Insect Race.

It turned out to be a Universe Venerable-level Insect Queen herself, truly a rarity.

The nine major forces argued like a brawl, each insisting that their side would succeed in inviting Yan Sancai to join.

……

Xiao Yu's Human True Body teleported back to the Human territories via the Divine Kingdom, and then Xiao Yu boarded the Flying Palace Treasure Heavenly Flower Hall, heading to a dangerous secret realm in the cosmos—the Yuan Shuo Secret Realm.

The Yuan Shuo Secret Realm is a cosmic secret realm with a maximum diameter of nearly 1.3 million light‑years; although smaller than the Ancestor Divine Secret Realm, its interior is exceedingly dangerous.

This is a newly discovered (within the past tens of thousands of epochs) dangerous-level secret realm, not yet claimed by any super power; those who venture here are at minimum Universe Venerables, with some top-level Universe Overlords among them.
