Chapter 125 Seclusion and the Trouble with the China Chamber of Commerce
Composing himself, the Chaos City Lord solemnly instructed, "Consolidate your strength carefully, and be sure to inform me when you break through to the Immortal Realm." His gaze swept over Lin Yi, carrying the concern of an elder. "The Origin Law Ocean will descend, and it must be in the Primordial Universe. Although your strength has already surpassed that of ordinary Immortals, the time of your breakthrough is especially crucial. Alien lurks in the shadows, so it's best to be careful."
Lin Yi smiled and replied, "Don't worry, City Lord, I understand."
Breaking through immortality—a hazy glint flashed in his eyes.
Strength? He has long since crossed that threshold by who knows how far.
What truly stirred his heart was the endless lifespan that came with the breakthrough!
The higher one climbs to the pinnacle of power, the more one deeply understands the ruthlessness of the passage of time. Eternal life is an irresistible ultimate temptation for anyone who pursues the highest goal!
Just like those who held power in his previous life, Lin Yi's desire for immortality ran deep in their bones.
The figure of the Chaos City Lord vanished silently above the palace.
It is unclear when it began, but the number of times he summoned Lin Yi, the commander of his personal guards, had surpassed the number of times he had summoned his second disciple, Venerable Guiyi, who had followed him for countless years and was utterly loyal.
Lin Yi brought him more than just surprises; he delivered a series of mind-blowing shocks! From the Bodhi Tree that enhanced talent, to the Reversal Pill that broke through realms, to the Life Pill that defied fate, and now to the infinite rebirth technique of clones—with each exchange, the Chaos City Lord felt as if he were no longer the lofty ruler of the universe, but rather gazing up at a divine peak that was constantly rising, reaching the very origin of the universe! Equal discussions were commonplace, and even when the mysterious and unpredictable realm of the Life Pill was involved, a faint sense of—awe—arose in the heart of this pillar of humanity, a top-tier fifth-order universe ruler?
This shift in mindset was both so natural and so astonishing! If a third party were present and witnessed the mighty human Chaos City Lord displaying such an attitude towards a cosmic overlord, they would probably think they had fallen into the deepest illusion, and no one would dare to believe it!
Lin Yi returned to the palace and began the final preparations before breaking through to immortality.
"The Three Pure Ones' clones have already begun clearing out alien kings and immortals in the outer battlefields through the divine kingdom's teleportation, hunting for fortune." Lin Yi thought to himself, "A hundred years should be no problem. Even if the alien universe lords sense something is wrong, they will have to wait until a large number of kings fall and the strength of universe venerables and even universe overlords is fully exposed before they can intervene and clear out the remaining people."
,
Yes, the newly formed Three Pure Ones clones perfectly inherited 5999 times the life gene level of Lin Yi's original body. With the blessing of the Life-Eating Vine projection, they touched the threshold of the universe overlord. Although they were only comparable to the weakest universe overlord, even at their weakest, they were still more than ten times stronger than the high-level universe venerables.
-
"The Life-Eating Vine completed its grafting onto the World Tree's branches a hundred years ago. Now it is exploring the deepest secrets of the World Tree's branches to enhance the number of its own life genes and inherit the secrets of controlling time and space."
Lin Yi was satisfied with the rate at which the Devouring Vine was improving. Its current combat power, with the main vine grafted onto the World Tree trunk, was enough to unleash the strength of a cosmic overlord. The reason it was still undergoing fusion and improvement was to achieve the leap of a Venerable being able to fight against a cosmic lord, just like that Venerable-level World Tree.
"The Zerg Queen Eliza's divine body is about to be repaired, and resources are plentiful. She will soon begin to break through to the Universe Venerable realm."
Lin Yi valued his Zerg Queen Eliza, his soul servant, as she was his primary fighting force before he became a true god, a servant who relied heavily on card-drawing resources.
"Once Alyssa breaks through to the Cosmic Venerable level, I can use gacha resources to fully equip her. Her group combat strength has a good chance of rivaling that of a top-tier cosmic overlord!"
After assessing his own combat strength, Lin Yi returned to his quiet room on the seventh floor with satisfaction. He sat cross-legged and transmitted his thoughts to Qingfeng and Haoyue respectively, saying, "I'm starting my secluded cultivation to break through. Until I emerge, don't contact me unless it's absolutely necessary."
Qingfeng and Haoyue, who were in seclusion on the sixth floor, received the telepathic message and were startled. They opened their eyes and ended their cultivation.
"My teacher is going into seclusion, so I must take good care of his logistical support and look after his family," Haoyue thought to herself.
"Since the teacher is in seclusion, we must manage his personal guards well and keep an eye on those little guys so they don't cause any trouble."
"Qingfeng Secret Passage".
Lin Yi's palace appeared relaxed on the outside but was actually under tight control. With Lin Yi, the key figure, in seclusion, Qingfeng and Haoyue were busy with their work.
All those who came to visit Lin Yi, whether they were kings or venerable figures, were treated with great hospitality. However, it was clear that there was absolutely no chance of Lin Yi meeting them.
Bolan, Uka, and other geniuses noticed that Qingfeng, who had never interfered with their specific cultivation affairs, began to appear frequently and provide guidance on cultivation.
Several days later, Lin Yi adjusted his soul, mentality, will, world power, and everything else to their peak state, preparing to break through to immortality.
Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Shattered Dragon Starfield, Huaxia Star!
On the second-to-last floor of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce headquarters building, Qi Yun was discussing something in hushed tones with his subordinate, Chi Tong.
Chi Tong was indignant. "Damn it! Just because I didn't give him face in the last bidding, this Black Storm King is causing trouble for my China Chamber of Commerce at every turn!"
Qi Yunduan sat in the secondary seat next to the empty main seat, his expression as if carved from a thousand-year-old piece of cold jade, without the slightest ripple of emotion.
After years of experience, this young talent, brought from Earth by Lin Yi, has long since lost his naivety and is now the ruler of a business empire that controls hundreds of millions of people.
He shook his head slightly, his voice as cold as ice striking stone, "The root of this matter still needs to be investigated carefully. I always feel that things have come about strangely."
"King Blackstorm is, after all, a titled immortal god; his status and position are what they are. It's really not worth it for him to oppose us for a single bid worth millions of Chaos Yuan."
After Qi Yun's reminder, Chi Tong's anger gradually subsided. As one of the ten people Lin Yi brought out of Earth, he was not stupid. However, he had been used to smooth sailing for many years, and coupled with his fiery temper, he had not been able to control his emotions.
"Yes, this Black Mist King should know that our Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is backed by our master Lin Yi, and also has the shadows of several cosmic venerables such as the Qianwu Kingdom Lord and the Nine Swords Venerable. How dare he target us like this?!"
Qi Yun rubbed his temples with his long, slender fingers; he looked somewhat tired.
Even though he had already broken through to the Domain Lord level, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, a massive trading group that spanned four major cosmic kingdoms—Qianwu, Jinlan, Yufeng, and Lintao—was finding it somewhat overwhelming.
Beside Chi Tong, Xi Shuang, the head of the Lin Tao Universe Kingdom branch, calmly spoke up, "King Hei Lan doesn't dare to touch us openly, but secretly he's targeting our branch in the Lin Tao Universe Kingdom, using 'legitimate' business competition as a pretext to besiege and maliciously suppress us—especially in several core industries in the Fourth New Star Region and even neighboring star sectors, where we've been forced to shrink or even close down!"
He paused, his tone hesitant, "Otherwise—please ask Master to intervene—"
"Shut up!" Qi Yun, Chi Tong, and the others interrupted in unison.
