272: Mother Energy of All Things

"It's just a small gift, what's so precious about it?" God Xi smiled indifferently.

Xiaoxiao looked at Wu Ning again.

Wu Ning chuckled, "Go ahead and wear it. Your Sister God Xi is a rich woman; a small item like this is nothing to her."

"What rich woman? That sounds terrible," God Xi rolled her beautiful eyes at him.

Xiaoxiao squinted and smiled. This older sister gave her such a precious item the moment they met. Could it be that she also had feelings for her older brother?

Her older brother's charm was truly great, even such a noble Heavenly Daughter was captivated.

But what about Sister Fairy Wind Caiwei?

Xiaoxiao was extremely conflicted for a moment. Fairy Wind Caiwei was very, very good to her, and she liked her very much, but she also liked God Xi...

Oh, this is so difficult.

Afterward, God Xi even pulled Xiaoxiao aside and whispered to her, completely leaving Wu Ning out of the conversation.

Wu Ning smiled, then walked out of the main hall on his own, arriving at the cliff edge where he had previously signed in.

Having obtained the Cosmic Prison, he was already impatient to seclude himself and advance to the Great Extreme Rank.

However, before that, he still had one more thing to do.

That was to repair the Great Dao Heavenly Embryo.

He had already integrated the Great Dao Heavenly Embryo obtained in the Tianxu Ancient Land into his Origin World, but the Great Dao Heavenly Embryo was damaged, and its growth was extremely slow, so it could not provide much help for the evolution of his Origin World.

To unleash the true potential of the Great Dao Heavenly Embryo, it first needed to be repaired.

Repairing the Great Dao Heavenly Embryo required many rare Materials, which he had mostly collected over the years, but he was still missing the last and most uncommon one: the Essence of Myriad Things.

Essence of Myriad Things was extremely rare; even the Taichu Ancient Realm didn't have it. Wu Ning had Ink Treasure check, and there were only dozens of strands in the entire Myriad Realms.

Coincidentally, Chaos Academy had one strand of Essence of Myriad Things.

Wu Ning's gaze fell on the bracelet he wore on his wrist, and then he sent a wisp of Divine Thought into it.

The next instant, his consciousness entered the Void Realm.

The first time he entered the Void Realm, he appeared directly inside an ancient, simple palace.

Wu Ning looked around, then walked out of the palace and surveyed his surroundings. The environment looked extremely real, not much different from the Virtual God Realm of the All Heavens Battlefield.

It was just that the scope was much smaller. The Void Realm only had an ancient city, and beyond the city was a vast Void Realm.

However, the area of this ancient city was extremely vast, not at all smaller than the Inner Courtyard's area, and Chaos Academy did not have many Disciples. Including the Outer Courtyard Disciples, there were less than three hundred thousand, which seemed very sparse compared to the entire massive ancient city.

Wu Ning gazed into the distance, surveyed his surroundings, and then turned back into the palace.

This ancient palace was considered his private territory within the Void Realm.

As Wu Ning's thoughts stirred, a huge light screen immediately appeared before him.

This was not his System panel, but a virtual light screen unique to the Void Realm.

The light screen displayed all sorts of information, and Wu Ning immediately saw many messages about him:

"Revelation: How strong is the rumored Myriad Realms' first Prodigy of all time?"

"Shocking! Senior Brother Guang Yuan challenged a certain newcomer and was instantly killed with one palm!"

"Senior Brother Guang Yuan defeated, Wu Clan Dao Child solidifies his name as a Prodigy. Will anyone continue to challenge him next?"

"Discussion: Can the Wu Clan Dao Child's strength rank among the top three on the Emperor Ranking?"

...

Wu Ning casually glanced at a few, and couldn't help but smile. It truly gave him a sense of temporal displacement, like surfing the internet in his previous life.

It must be said that when different civilizations develop to a certain extent, there are always many similarities.

Although the Myriad Realms was a cultivation civilization, it also saw the emergence of things like virtual worlds, a concept from technological civilization.

Wu Ning sighed, and then as his thoughts shifted, the information on the light screen also changed accordingly.

It displayed exchange information for various precious treasures.

Chaos Academy possessed a treasure vault, which stored countless precious treasures. Both Inner Courtyard and Outer Courtyard Disciples of the Academy could exchange and trade through the Void Realm.

But it required spending points.

Points were a unique contribution System of Chaos Academy.

Exchanging treasures and resources within the Academy, or participating in various activities, often required the use of points.

Wu Ning's gaze fell on the first piece of information on the light screen, which was the exchange information for Essence of Myriad Things.

It required one hundred million points!

This was definitely an extremely high price. One should know that the price of an immortal emperor artifact was usually only a few million points, with more expensive ones reaching tens of millions.

A price of a full one hundred million points was not inferior to a Low Grade Dao Artifact.

Wu Ning frowned slightly. To obtain this Essence of Myriad Things, it seemed he would first have to earn one hundred million points.

This would definitely be an extremely difficult task for other Inner Courtyard Disciples, but it was nothing to him.

Wu Ning pondered for a moment. He had five main channels to earn points:

One, basic welfare benefits.

He enjoyed the highest level of treatment for Inner Courtyard Disciples, receiving one hundred thousand points every ten thousand years. To accumulate one hundred million points would take ten million years, which was too slow.

Two, publishing various paid information or experience sharing in the Void Realm. Other Disciples would spend a certain amount of points to view it, usually ten points per view. This would require ten million views, which was slow and troublesome, so it was not considered.

Three, accepting various mercenary tasks.

Within the Void Realm, the Academy would release a large number of tasks. Upon completion, one could obtain a certain amount of points. Some high-difficulty tasks offered quite substantial point rewards, starting at least from one hundred thousand, with some reaching several million points.

Additionally, Inner Courtyard Disciples could also post private tasks, but the points given were usually not much.

Four, ascending the Emperor Ranking.

There were rewards for ascending the Emperor Ranking. For example, the first on the Emperor Ranking received one hundred thousand points as a reward every ten thousand years.

Five, challenging Trial Grounds such as the Invincible Path, Refining God Pagoda, Immemorial Mountain, Virtual Battlefield, and Dao Heart Trial. Breaking records offered high point rewards.

For example, challenging the Invincible Path: if one could break the record and surpass the current record holder, they could receive a one-time reward of five million points.

The reward for breaking the record in the Dao Heart Trial was the highest, a full ten million points.

Wu Ning smiled faintly. If he broke all the records in the various Trial Grounds of the Inner Courtyard, one hundred million points would be almost accumulated.

Wu Ning closed the treasure exchange information and did not rush to exit the Void Realm, but continued to browse other information.

...

On the other side.

Guang Yuan returned to his residence, preparing to seclude himself to heal his injuries, when suddenly many people came to visit. He felt a bit impatient, but he had no choice but to see them.

This was because these people were all of extraordinary status and terrifying strength, with their Emperor Ranking higher than his.

One or two would be fine, but he dared not offend a whole group of them.

After they were seated.

A burly young man sized him up, and said coldly and very displeased, "He's too arrogant! He's a newcomer, and he just arrived in the Inner Courtyard and injured a Senior Brother like this. He simply doesn't put us Senior Brothers in his eyes. He must be taught a lesson!"

The others had varied expressions and did not echo his words.

"Ancient Chen, you've also exchanged blows with that brat. What do you think of his strength?" Ancient Chen asked in a deep voice.

As soon as he spoke, the others immediately fell silent. Among these people, his strength was the strongest.

Upon hearing this, Guang Yuan's heart suddenly stirred, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
