135: World Defense System

What Lin Chen didn't know was that while he was redeeming his rewards, countless forces were already in a frenzy.

"What did you say? This Human Race Lin Chen still can't be contacted? What good are you all for?"

"Judging from this Human Race youth's challenge record, he clearly hasn't joined any force yet."

"To reach this stage without external cultivation, achieving a hundred consecutive victories—how terrifying is this Human Race kid's talent?"

"Number five on the Mortal Realm Ranking! Only those major forces with an Invincible Venerable presiding over them are qualified to recruit a genius of this caliber."

"Find every possible way to contact this Human Race. If not, go to Azure Cang Realm in person!"

Some super major forces were very optimistic about Lin Chen and tried to contact him.

However, Lin Chen had already blocked his virtual account's communication information...

In a valley within the Fire Mist Sect of Ziwei Great World.

A middle-aged man in a red robe was meditating with his eyes closed.

Just then, a Venerable Realm elder approached him.

"Ancestor Jin, there's news about that Human Race kid you asked me to keep an eye on."

The red-robed middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes, and an infinitely terrifying flame flashed through his pupils.

"Oh? How long has it been? Has he reached the Transcendent Realm?"

Upon hearing this, the elder immediately respectfully took out his smart crystal, then manipulated it to project the information from the Mortal Realm Ranking.

The red-robed middle-aged man's eyelids twitched slightly, then he chuckled softly.

"Jin Cang, you make a trip and bring him to the Fire Mist Sect."

The Venerable Realm elder Jin Cang was stunned, revealing a look of shock.

"Does Ancestor Jin intend to take him as a disciple?"

The red-robed middle-aged man smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"This youth is a Pure-Blooded Human Race. My lineage is weak in Hong Country; it's time to introduce some fresh blood."

Jin Cang breathed a sigh of relief. Although this Human Race youth could reach the top few on the Mortal Realm Ranking, that was all.

The Mortal Realm Ranking updates very quickly because there are too many Mortal Realms in Hong Country!

Under such a large base, there are many monstrous geniuses who can enter the top ten of the Transcendent Realm...

And Ancestor Jin is a Dao Realm expert, and even on the Dao Realm ranking!

Even those true super geniuses couldn't become his disciples, let alone this Lin Chen who suddenly appeared...

The closest small world to Azure Cang Realm was called Red Water World. Red Water World was controlled by three top-tier racial forces, one of which was the Blood Crocodile Clan.

At this moment, in the ancestral land of the Blood Crocodile Clan, a young man in white clothes was staring blankly at a virtual screen.

After a long time, he began to tremble slightly, his fists clenched tightly, his fingernails deeply embedded in his palms...

"Lin Chen!!"

"Why! It's you again!"

This white-clothed youth was Wang Feiyu. Back then, he escaped from Azure Cang Realm using a vital weapon left by a Venerable and came to Red Water World.

Afterward, he relied on the treasures of the deceased Venerable to reshape his body and recover his strength.

Then, he joined the Blood Crocodile Clan with his talent and received their cultivation, having now reached the Source Beginning Realm!

Wang Feiyu's face was incredibly distorted at this moment.

He was once the pride of the Human Race; everything was snatched away from him because of Lin Chen's appearance!

Wang Feiyu originally thought there would be no more interaction between him and Lin Chen, as a Mortal Realm was just a Mortal Realm, and without reaching the Transcendent Realm, there was no chance to interact with the outside world.

But now, seeing Lin Chen's name high on the Mortal Realm Ranking, the jealousy and hatred in his heart completely erupted!

After a long time, he regained his composure, his eyes chillingly cold.

"Since that's the case, what I've lost, I will take back with my own hands!"

...In the virtual world, Lin Chen was unaware of the series of attention his challenge to the Mortal Realm Ranking had attracted this time.

He had just figured out how to sell the batch of profound heaven spiritual treasures he didn't need.

Similar to Blue Star, Hong Country also had a trading platform.

Under the cover of Ziwei Great World, Hong Country had 100,000 medium-sized worlds and one million small worlds.

These worlds shared a trading platform, and countless beings could trade on it.

This trading platform was built by Hong Country's official government, and a portion of transaction fees would be deducted by the platform.

The platform also provided delivery services, requiring only a travel fee.

Lin Chen registered an account on this trading platform, then began to browse.

Low-grade profound heaven spiritual treasures were valued at 800,000 source crystals, mid-grade at 2 million source crystals, and high-grade at 5 million source crystals.

Lin Chen currently had 12,401 profound heaven spiritual treasures, including 8,530 low-grade, 3,246 mid-grade, and 625 high-grade.

He planned to keep 100 pieces of each grade of these profound heaven spiritual treasures and convert the rest into source crystals!

Calculated this way, Lin Chen's profound heaven spiritual treasures were worth 15.72 billion source crystals.

After deducting a 2% handling fee and the shipping costs for pickup and delivery, 15.3 billion source crystals remained.

Lin Chen immediately submitted a transaction application on the trading platform.

Hong Country was too vast, and the daily transaction volume of this trading platform was an astronomical figure; his profound heaven spiritual treasures were sold out in a few minutes.

Next, a dedicated person would come to Azure Cang Realm to pick up the goods and then bring the source crystals, which would take about a day.

Now, with the previous source crystal rewards, Lin Chen's assets instantly reached hundreds of billions of source crystals!

source crystals had significant purchasing power in the Endless Realm; typically, an ordinary Source Beginning Realm's total assets were only tens of millions of source crystals.

Lin Chen's assets could already rival a Venerable Realm, and he was extremely excited at this moment.

It was like winning a lottery jackpot of tens of millions, and during the waiting period for redemption, his spirits were incredibly high...

After the transaction, Lin Chen continued to browse the trading platform, very curious about it.

The trading platform was divided into many sections: Treasure Zone, Cultivation Technique Zone, Slave Zone, Weapon Zone, Spaceship Zone...

The Treasure Zone was for Heaven And Earth Treasure and various exotic treasures. Lin Chen immediately saw the tenth-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure pinned at the top of this zone.

The minimum value was 10 trillion source crystals!

The Cultivation Technique Zone contained many different levels of Law Battle Skills and Great Dao Combat Skills. The ultimate battle skills were actually pinned at the top of the Cultivation Technique Zone!

However, those who learned them could at most unleash them at the divine-grade battle skill level.

The minimum price for ultimate battle skills was also 10 trillion source crystals.

Slave Zone?

Lin Chen clicked on it with great curiosity. After seeing the first pinned information, he was completely stunned.

Fierce Ox Clan Dao Realm first-level slave, priced at 90 trillion source crystals!

Flower Clan Venerable Realm ninth-level slave, priced at 100 trillion source crystals!

Beastman Race Venerable Realm fifth-level slave, priced at 50 trillion source crystals!

...Human Race Venerable Realm first-level slave, priced at 10 trillion source crystals!

The more Lin Chen looked, the more shocked he became. The Slave Zone actually had Venerable Realm beings for sale, and it included many races. The background of these slave merchants must be incredibly powerful!

However, the prices were all too expensive; Lin Chen couldn't bear to spend so many source crystals to buy slaves.

Lin Chen then looked at the Weapon Zone.

Eh?

"I can buy a set of this."

Something in the Weapon Zone caught Lin Chen's attention—a World Defense System!

This defense system could monitor all situations within one light-year of a Mortal Realm, priced at 16 billion source crystals, which Lin Chen could just afford.

Last time, some of those alien races escaped, and Lin Chen believed they would definitely return.

With this defense system, he could detect anyone approaching Azure Cang Realm in advance.

Moreover, this defense system could withstand a Venerable Realm's attack for 10 hours!

Lin Chen ordered it without hesitation.

This platform supported cash on delivery. The defense system and his source crystals would be delivered together, and he would pay then.

Lin Chen merely glanced at the Spaceship Zone and lost interest; the cheapest spaceship there was priced at 100 billion source crystals...

He then exited the virtual world. Now, he just needed to patiently wait for all the source crystals to be delivered!
