Chapter 96: Three Years of Cultivation (Part One)

Now Xiao Yu's bodily defense can match ordinary universe-level high-tier bodily defense, but it was easily pierced.

After absorbing several seconds of blood, Xiao Yu's hand was pushed out from the front chest of the armor; the recent dent had already healed, and Xiao Yu's right hand was restored to its original state, with not a single needle hole.

"Master recognition complete!" a mechanical voice sounded.

The armor, following Xiao Yu's will, flowed like water toward him, then attached to his entire body, continuing to revert to its black form, only now sized to fit perfectly.

This D7-level Mechanical Race armor can be worn over the Force Armor; such double-layered defense will make Xiao Yu even safer.

Wearing the Mechanical Race armor, Xiao Yu entered the control room and sat in a chair, while Luo Feng and Hong were already reclined in chairs, heads fitted with Consciousness Sensing Helmets, entering the Virtual Universe.

"Wu, enter the Virtual Universe."

The next second, Xiao Yu's consciousness entered the Virtual Universe.

Heilongshan Island's Ziming Bay, in a stylish study.

Xiao Yu was holding a copy of "First Layer of Primordial Soul" and studying it carefully; the book not only describes how to construct ten Cores, but also how to form a network through those ten Cores.

Suddenly, a screen appeared before him, displaying a communication request from Ming Yu, external administrator of the Virtual Universe Company Heilongshan branch.

Clicking to connect, a burly man clad in black armor appeared on the screen.

"Lord Ming Yu." Xiao Yu rose and bowed respectfully.

"Xiao Yu, this time I'm contacting you because there's something I need to tell you," Ming Yu said softly.

"What is it? Please speak," Xiao Yu replied, puzzled.

"Earlier you asked me to help watch over Earth—was it because you have an enemy?" Ming Yu's expression was somewhat awkward. "It's not a big deal; I just wanted to help you eliminate them. Later I led my subordinates to wipe out the Nuo Lan Shan family, but Nuo Lan Shan himself and one of his disciples, Bai Ka Luo, escaped. In the past year of searching, we haven't seen any trace of Nuo Lan Shan."

Xiao Yu hadn't expected that, even though he hadn't asked for help dealing with the Nuo Lan Shan trouble, Ming Yu still did it, and Nuo Lan Shan still escaped.

However, it's unclear whether Nuo Lan Shan is hiding to bide his revenge, or has already gone to the Outer Realm Battlefield.

"Thank you, Lord Ming Yu, for the details," Xiao Yu said softly in gratitude.

After the call ended, Xiao Yu used the Teleportation Channel to arrive at Jiuxing Bay.

Before entering Luo Feng's family villa, he first went to the adjacent wooden villa; on the third floor, Xiao Yu handed 40 Mixed Yuan Units to Luo Hua to continue operating in the universe.

Then Xiao Yu arrived at Luo Feng's residence, and in the tea room saw Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen waiting for him.

"I have no idea what this third brother is so eager to have us come over for,"

When Xiao Yu entered, Lei Shen was speaking loudly.

"Big brother, second brother, and fourth brother, this time I called you over because of this..." Xiao Yu recounted what Ming Yu had just said.

"In fact, looking at it this way, Nuo Lan Shan now has a vendetta of extermination against us, and for him there are only three options for now," Hong said softly.

"The first option: bring Bai Ka Luo, the two sneak to Earth for revenge; this would inevitably expose his trail, and even if he destroys Earth, he would thus offend Sanfu Mountain, whose territory Earth nominally belongs to."

"The second option: find a lifeless planet, hide there to cultivate, and after achieving cultivation, take revenge."

"The third option is to enter the Outer Realm Battlefield; this is the choice of universe-level and above strongmen. Though extremely dangerous, it could free him from his current predicament and perhaps even elevate his realm. Nuo Lan Shan, having previously participated in the Great Axe Battle Arena, is certainly not someone who fears life-and-death danger, but I think this should be his final choice."

"He is very likely to take the first path, revenge first, then choose the third; this way he would have avenged fundamentally, and Ming Yu would have no way to stop him," Hong said.

Hong kept analyzing, and his understanding of the universe grew increasingly clear.

"I think the same way; the one who took action to wipe out the Nuo Lan Shan family, though it was Ming Yu, was actually at our request of Lord Ming Yu," Xiao Yu agreed.

"Given Nuo Lan Shan's wisdom and connections, we can guess the reasoning; he might take this risk," Lei Shen said.

"So what should we do? One is a universe-level Ninth Tier, the other a universe-level Eighth Tier," Luo Feng asked.

"They are not ordinary universe-level Ninth and Eighth Tiers; Bai Ka Luo belongs to the Blade Tribe, a combat-savvy race in the universe that can compare to a universe-level Ninth Tier," Xiao Yu whispered.

Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng each lifted their tea cups from the table, took a sip, and looked at Xiao Yu.

"Regarding our Thunder World expedition in the Inter-Realm, didn't I exchange for three D6-level orbital cannons? Though each of these superweapons requires thirty seconds to ready, they can threaten Realm Lord-level strongmen. With these three superweapons, even if he ascends to Realm Lord-level, we won't fear him," Xiao Yu said hurriedly.

Suddenly Luo Feng drained the tea in his cup in one gulp and said, "Before the Auction Event, I, together with Baba Ta and Di Fan, explored Relic No. 1 and retrieved that Mechanical Race spaceship. It's an E9-level Mechanical Race spaceship, still quite intact; its energy shield, propulsion system, and weapon systems are all preserved and can be reactivated."

Hong and Lei Shen were both greatly shocked.

The Relic No. 1 on Earth is the earliest discovered ancient civilization site by humanity; it is a 1,200‑meter tall silver‑white Pyramid located deep beneath the sea in the Bermuda region of the North Atlantic, and unexpectedly turned out to be an E9-level Mechanical Race starship.

The value of an E9-level Mechanical Race starship is undoubtedly astronomical.

The treasures on Earth are truly abundant, no wonder Nuo Lan Shan covets them.

"The E Ji Feichuan is the mount of Realm Lord-level strongmen and Immortal Divine Spirits; what weapons does it hold inside?" Lei Shen asked loudly.

"Three Star Annihilation Cannons and nine E3-level laser cannons," Luo Feng said excitedly.

"Haha, in that case we needn't worry," Lei Shen laughed.

"Don't be careless; it's better not to expose these weapons lightly, especially that E Ji Feichuan and its armaments," Hong reminded.

"Hmm, big brother is right; everyone needn't worry too much. Even if Nuo Lan Shan wants to come to Earth, he can only do so via a wormhole, which would take at least two and a half years," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

The jet-black Guotai vessel flew through the Dark Universe for three hours and arrived at Earth's coordinates.

Five minutes later, the starship came to a complete stop, was expelled from the Dark Universe, completing its interstellar transit.

On January 10, 2063, late at night, Xiao Yu returned home; this trip off Earth and back took only a day—departed that day, returned that night.

Xiao Yu stayed at home for two days, during which he mainly kept his parents company and his three‑year‑old little brother.

Xiao Rong, only three years old, under various Foundation‑establishing treasures, has a physique far stronger than that of an average adult.

Additionally, he kept an eye on the clan's cultivation; nowadays the Xiao Family, together with Xiao Yu, already possesses eight Stellar-level entities.
