350: If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!

However, such Level Seven Immortal Sects still had a massive gap compared to those above them; the quantity and grade of Immortal Veins required by those powerful Immortal Sects were on a completely different level. Above the Level Seven Immortal Sects were Level Eight, Level Nine, and Super Immortal Sects. Thus, Long Yuan naturally hoped to collect more scrap Materials to allow the Heavenly Dao Space to achieve a qualitative leap. It would be best if it could directly reach the standard of a Super Immortal Sect, for that would be a true holy land for cultivation!

Of course, these Immortal Sects were merely the Sect classifications within an Immortal Domain in the Star Sea. Above the Immortal Domain was the Immortal Realm. Countless Cultivators cultivated diligently, dreaming that one day they could transcend the Immortal Tribulation and undergo Ascension to the Immortal Realm, becoming a true Immortal!

That would be true freedom, true leisure, and true happiness... Carrying this thought, Long Yuan directly entered a state of cultivation. One Divine Sense cultivated the Creation Profound Heaven Skill, one Divine Sense pondered over Cultivation Techniques, one Divine Sense trained in the Heavenly Stepping Steps, and one Divine Sense practiced the Zhenyue Dragon Elephant Fist... To wear the crown, one must bear its weight!

Long Yuan increasingly felt the pressure he carried on his shoulders, so he did not dare to relax his self-requirements for even a moment. Only by enhancing his strength as much as possible before the arrival of the Alien Experts could he possess the key to resolving the crisis when it arrived... Currently, a favorable condition was that his Divine Body Prototype already allowed him to use the Spiritual Qi and Profound Qi of the Heavenly Dao Space to Cultivate, fearing neither Spiritual Pressure nor Profound Pressure. These energies were extremely pure and of high quality, so his cultivation speed increased once again, reaching a level unimaginable to other Xuan Practitioners!

Although the current development of his Divine-Grade Physique might not even be one ten-thousandth, it already allowed his cultivation to be in a transcendent state. To others, it seemed he could simply do as he pleased, as if no amount of cultivation or experimentation would be an issue. This was the terrifying aspect of a Divine-Grade Physique. One must know that such a Physique was an absolute Innate condition for becoming a God; without such an Innate condition, the possibility of Acquired cultivation into a God was minuscule, unless one encountered an exceptionally great Opportunity... In a certain inner hall of the Lu Wang Manor in Shuntian Prefecture, the Third Prince, Prince Lu, looked at the Materials and information handed over by the manor's butler, Butler, with a slight look of surprise on his face.

"Long Yuan?! I have some impression of this person. Didn't you say last time that he was a Music Dao Genius who was going to perform in cooperation with Justin? Because of this matter, I reached an agreement with Miller to postpone the Blood Wolf Hall's operation plan at the Nanyue Base," Prince Lu mused.

"Yes, Your Highness, please take a closer look at this video!" Butler projected another video onto a light screen, and the battle scenes within immediately caught Prince Lu's attention.

Upon seeing Long Yuan appear and knock Chu Qingxue out of the space with a single punch, Prince Lu stood up in shock, his eyes wide as he shouted, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Did something go wrong with the Challenge Space?!"

Butler hurriedly said, "Your Highness, nothing went wrong with the Challenge Space!"

"Nothing went wrong? Then why would it place the young figure of my Father Emperor into the space to fight against Chu Qingxue?" Prince Lu's point of focus was different from others; it was right here.

Butler was secretly amused and said, "Your Highness, this person is not the Great Emperor, but Long Yuan—that Music Dao Genius!"

"What?!"

Prince Lu froze, his expression shifting as his mind raced... Butler said at the right moment, "Your Highness, this servant is currently having people conduct a focused investigation into Long Yuan. If there is new information, it will definitely be presented quickly!"

"Hmm, focus on checking if he has the royal Bloodline!" Prince Lu snorted.

"Yes! This servant understands!"

"Also, Long Yuan's strength is a bit abnormal. This Chu Qingxue is already a super Genius in our Great Ming, yet she couldn't even withstand one of his relaxed punches, and he is only a sixteen-year-old middle school student!"

"Your Highness is wise! However, this seems understandable, doesn't it? Our Eighteenth Young Master is only thirteen years old now and already possesses the strength of the Martial Disciple Realm!" Butler said.

Prince Lu shook his head and pondered, "Little Eighteen's situation is different. He has been focused on by this manor since childhood, irrigated with countless resources, and plus he has Exotic Energy in his body; it's only normal for him to have such strength. But from Long Yuan's data, he was obscure just a few months ago, yet he suddenly erupted with such powerful force. Moreover, looking at the strength he displayed, he should be at least at the Martial General Middle Stage or above. This has completely exceeded the traditional power system of Xuan Practitioners; even Little Eighteen cannot compare!"

"Could it be that Long Yuan has been hiding his strength all along?" Butler guessed.

"It's possible, but even if he was hiding his strength, reaching his current level would be extremely difficult. Even someone as strong as Prince An was far inferior to him in his youth! I deeply suspect that Long Yuan might possess Exotic Energy just like Little Eighteen, and his Exotic Energy is much stronger than Little Eighteen's!" Prince Lu spoke with glowing eyes, as if he were seeing a certain future scene.

Butler was shaken by the words and hurriedly agreed, "Your Highness is right! This servant will immediately have people focus on investigating this matter!"

"Hmm, right, is there any news from Zhu Lan and Zhu Yu, General?" Prince Lu asked.

"They have arrived at the Fang Family in Nanyue City and are already digging the tunnel. They sent a message a few days ago saying that they encountered an Underground River blocking them during the digging process, so the progress has been affected to some extent!" Butler said.

"Tell them they must finish within a week after the concert. Miller said the Blood Wolf Hall and the Alien Beasts are almost ready!"

"Yes! Your Highness, rest assured!" Butler responded and turned to leave in a hurry... "Exotic Energy? Exotic Energy... If I also possessed Exotic Energy, how wonderful that would be. I'm afraid the throne of Great Ming would then belong to no one but me!!!" Prince Lu murmured. He suddenly snapped his fingers, and a figure appeared gracefully before him from out of nowhere, bowing and saying, "Your Highness, please give your orders!"

"Go to the Xuanji Tower immediately and ask Sabado how to obtain Exotic Energy and the cultivation methods for it. No matter the cost, as long as he has it, buy it for me immediately!"

"Yes! This servant takes his leave!" This Dark Guard also left in a hurry... The Shuntian Prefecture Divine Machine Camp was a specialized agency under the Great Emperor, personally controlled by him. It seemed to be at the same level as the Jianxuan Envoy Department, both having the function of managing Xuan Practitioners, but in reality, it was half a level higher. When executing missions, those from the Jianxuan Envoy Department had to follow its orders.

Ran Min, the Commander of the Divine Machine Camp, was at the Martial General Peak Stage. He had just received the verbal imperial decree personally delivered by the Inner Official Eunuch Wu Zhen, the Emperor Ming's close attendant. He did not dare to be negligent and immediately summoned his capable subordinate, who was also his eldest niece, Ran Yiyi. In her twenties, she had already become the Commander of the Third Company of the Divine Machine Camp. Although she was in the Wu Zong Late Stage, she was an incomparable Genius, possessing the combat power of the Martial General Early Stage. She was a Genius figure focused on by the Ran Family!
