302: Chapter 302 Light Brain

The entire territory was so vast it seemed boundless, and the architectural style was both hard and sharp.

It carried the sharp intensity of sci-fi mechs, yet was blended with the profound sense of Martial Dao cultivation.

These two flavors blended together naturally, exuding an indescribable charm everywhere.

Wen Yan gazed up at the sky, her face full of confusion.

"That's strange. Isn't the Secret Realm supposed to be enclosed? Why is there a star hanging above our heads?"

Everyone looked up at the sky together, and upon seeing it clearly, they couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Hua Caili looked serious as she slowly revealed the secret behind it.

"This star was forcibly moved in from an external Star Domain by the founding monarch of the Lingyuan Empire, using heaven-defying means, and placed within this Secret Realm."

The group exclaimed again.

Moving a star?

Just how strong must one be to do that?

Lin Yun's gaze was calm as he casually stated the corresponding strength Realm.

"To be able to move an entire star, one must be at least a powerhouse of the Ninth Realm."

The entire Lingyuan Secret Realm was the capital of the Lingyuan Empire. Lingyuan City was unimaginably vast.

When Lin Yun flew in with his wives from the entrance of the Secret Realm, what he saw was merely the tip of the iceberg.

Once they truly entered the city, they realized that what they had seen before didn't even count as the tip of the iceberg.

The city covered an unknown number of thousands of miles. From east to west, from north to south, it was boundless to the eye.

Buildings towered into the clouds, some reaching hundreds of kilometers high, their tops disappearing into the cloud layer.

The streets were wide and flat, capable of allowing dozens of anti-gravity vehicles to drive side by side.

Spaceships shuttled through the sky, taking off and landing, busy but orderly.

On the ground, pedestrians were as dense as a woven fabric, with various races, various attires, and various languages interwoven, creating an exceptionally lively scene.

Lin Yun still had plenty of Universe Crystals, so he wasn't in a hurry to exchange them for money. He took his wives for a leisurely stroll.

Sixty-one people walking on the streets of Lingyuan City were like a drop of water falling into the ocean, completely inconspicuous.

However, their beauty still attracted many gazes.

Sixty stunning women, each one beautiful and moving, rare in this world. Walking on the road, they had a one hundred percent head-turning rate.

Whenever he saw a merchant firm along the way, Lin Yun would go in and ask. Were there any remains of powerful creatures? Or even scraps would do.

The service staff at every merchant firm were very enthusiastic, recommending various creatures. Animal, plant, energy-based, and rock-based creatures.

The best one was a rock-creature crystal core, the size of a fist and pitch black throughout.

The service staff said this was the core of a Seventh Realm rock creature, containing all of its essence.

This rock creature was naturally attuned to the two elements of Earth and Metal. It was massive in size. As long as the core remained intact, it would not die.

Lin Yun took one look and shook his head. It didn't catch his eye.

What he wanted were creatures with Bloodline Legacies, or creatures with special talents.

Ordinary creatures, even at the Seventh or Eighth Realm, had no value for gestating a Clone.

The Diyang Giant Beast only had three slots for Clones, and each one had to be used where it mattered most.

Following his requirements, the service staff recommended some more. There were some from the Fourth to Eighth Realm. Some came from the deep Universe, some from the core of a star, and some from the Void Realm.

Some were skilled in flames, some in frost, and some in lightning. They sounded good, but Lin Yun was still not satisfied.

The Bloodline Legacy was too weak, the special talent was trash, and gestating them would just be a waste of a slot.

Seeing this, the service staff was not annoyed. He smiled and recommended, "The things you are looking for, honored guest, you will probably have to go to an auction."

Lin Yun asked, "An auction?"

The service staff explained, "The auction is jointly held by the major merchant firms, once a year."

"It will be held in a little over a month."

"At that time, all kinds of rare treasures will appear. Remains of powerful creatures, rare Heaven And Earth Treasures, high-level Origin weapons, and legendary Bloodline Legacies."

"As long as you have money, you can buy anything."

Lin Yun asked, "How can I participate in the auction?"

The service staff said, "You can participate in the virtual world using a Light Brain."

Light Brain.

Lin Yun had never heard this term. He looked at Hua Caili, but she also shook her head. She hadn't been to Lingyuan City in hundreds of years and had never heard of it before.

Seeing the confusion of Lin Yun's group, the service staff patiently explained:

"The Light Brain is a technological product that only appeared in the last hundred years."

"Previously, the virtual world could only cover a few thousand or tens of thousands of star systems at most, and one had to use a virtual pod to connect."

"With technological innovation, the Light Brain appeared."

"Now, the virtual world can cover the entire Empire, including the vassal states."

Lin Yun suddenly understood. The technological level of a top-tier Empire had already developed to such an unimaginable degree. He had never even heard of it. Qilin Kingdom was truly too small.

It didn't even have the older, backward technology of a virtual world that covered a minimum of a few thousand star systems. Let alone this current Light Brain technology that covers tens of millions or hundreds of millions of star systems.

The virtual world of Qilin Kingdom was independent for each star system; it didn't even cover the entire nation.

The service staff saw that they were visiting Lingyuan City for the first time and asked, "Which country are you from, honored guest?"

Lin Yun said, "Qilin Kingdom."

The service staff smiled and said, "So you are honored guests from Qilin Kingdom."

Lin Yun inwardly praised the service staff's service awareness. Judging by the micro-expressions, the other party probably had no idea where Qilin Kingdom was.

After all, the Lingyuan Empire had too many vassal states to remember them all; it was normal. Knowing that Lin Yun and the others came from a small place and still being so enthusiastic was truly impressive. This was what professionalism was.

The service staff continued:

"If you don't know about the Light Brain, honored guest, it must be because Qilin Kingdom has not yet deployed the relevant communication equipment."

"If you plan to live in the Lingyuan Empire for a long time in the future, you can just buy a Light Brain; it only costs one hundred thousand Lingyuan coins."

"If you want to use it back in Qilin Kingdom, you need to deploy communication equipment."

"The equipment costs one billion Lingyuan coins."

Lin Yun quickly converted the currency. Lingyuan coins were minted from Third Realm metal; one Lingyuan coin converted to Qilin Kingdom's credit currency was roughly ten thousand.

One billion Lingyuan coins was ten trillion? A bit expensive. But for Lin Yun, it was just pocket change. Anything he casually took out of his Space Ring was worth more than that.

Seeing that Lin Yun wanted to buy, the service staff became even more enthusiastic. He pitched, "If you purchase the communication equipment, I will include an automatic installation robot, one hundred Light Brains, and even the distribution rights for Light Brains. If you sell Light Brains in Qilin Kingdom, we will split the profits fifty-fifty."

The service staff became more and more excited as he spoke, spit flying everywhere.

Lin Yun interrupted him and asked, "Do you accept Origin weapons and battle armor?"

The service staff hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes! The price will be absolutely fair!"

He led Lin Yun and his group to a VIP private room. The room was large and luxuriously decorated. The floor was covered in soft carpets, famous paintings and calligraphy hung on the walls, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

The service staff invited them to sit and served good tea. Su Yingxue took a sip, and her eyes brightened, "This is really good."

Lin Yun also took a sip; it was indeed good. The tea fragrance was rich, sweet upon entering the mouth, and had a long aftertaste. It was Fifth Realm spirit tea, which could not be bought in Qilin Kingdom at all. But in Lingyuan City, any VIP room in a merchant firm had it.
