Wan Qianxin's words left everyone in shock, speechless for a long time.
"The vast plane universe, in our hands, is no more than a speck of dust."
These were the words spoken by the Immortal Venerables when they were still Immortals.
Even then, they could toy with the universe in the palm of their hands.
And now, they were still Immortals, yet they still held a sense of awe towards the universe.
Was this the difference?
Wan Lei suddenly felt a surge of unwillingness.
Possessing the halo of a protagonist, he had always been the strongest among his peers, never having tasted defeat, and naturally, he had his pride.
But now, compared to the Immortal Venerables of the same period, he felt like he had lost.
Of course, he also possessed the Six Great Dao Laws, had his own Path of Order, and had the Creation Divine Disk capable of creating universes...
But weren't all these things given to him by those Immortal Venerables?
The Immortal Venerables of that time had no one to give them anything; they had fought for everything themselves.
Wan Lei's eyes lit up, his fighting spirit soaring.
"Sooner or later, my Path of Order will also appear on this list."
The crowd behind him applauded enthusiastically, shouting "Awesome!"
The good atmosphere was completely ruined by these sycophants.
Wan Lei rolled his eyes at them helplessly.
"How many Merit Points are needed to cultivate that Great Universe Dust?"
Calmly, Wan Lei was still quite pragmatic. As the highest Dao Law of the Prime Plane, Great Universe Dust could easily alter the rules of the plane universe. Who wouldn't want it?
"No Merit Points are needed, only one condition needs to be met," Wan Qianxin said with a smile.
"Just one condition? That simple?"
Wan Lei was somewhat surprised. Things shouldn't be this straightforward.
"Indeed, just one condition, and that is to become an Immortal Venerable."
"..."
Damn it, if I were already an Immortal Venerable, why would I learn this Dao Law from you? Couldn't I change anything with a mere thought?
"Why? It requires becoming an Immortal Venerable to learn this? What's the point of displaying it here for others to see? Shouldn't all Dao Laws in the Merit Hall be available for people to cultivate?"
"That's right, they can be cultivated, but the prerequisite is to become an Immortal Venerable."
"Damn it..."
"This is also to guard against the Demon Venerables. After all, the Demon Venerables and Immortal Venerables have the same authority and are omnipotent. If anyone cultivates this Dao Law and is captured by a Demon Venerable, the Demon Venerable can obtain the Great Universe Dust Dao Law through soul searching or tracing back the person's experiences.
If this Dao Law falls into the hands of a Demon Venerable, with their complete authority, they could directly alter things outside the Prime Plane, and our Prime Plane would be plunged into eternal damnation."
Upon hearing this, the crowd nodded. The Immortal Venerables were indeed considering the safety of the Prime Plane. Moreover, this Dao Law was not a secret to the Demon Venerables, and displaying it here could also motivate disciples to cultivate diligently.
"Alright, let's go choose suitable cultivation techniques for Yuan Jun."
After examining the ultimate Dao Law, they headed outside.
"By the way, you mentioned earlier that the Myriad Star Dust Array is the precursor to Great Universe Dust, and if cultivated well, it can refine planets into dust and alter their internal rules, right?"
"Yes, so where can I exchange for it?"
"On the next floor, the Divine Ability layer."
"Okay, I'll go check it out later."
Wan Lei, skilled in the Way of Arrays, was eager to possess the Myriad Star Dust Array after learning about it.
Not long after walking forward, they stopped at the Fire Attribute cultivation technique catalog. Wan Qianxin searched for techniques suitable for cultivating the Netherworld Cold Fire, and a large number of them appeared.
"Let's go with this one, ranked first: Netherworld Ghost Dao. This divine ability originates from the Netherworld Ancient Sect of the Ghost Realm, which is also the sect that utilizes the Netherworld Cold Fire most effectively. Their former Sect Master, the City God, is now the highly regarded White Impermanence."
With that, Wan Qianxin directly clicked to claim it.
"Let's go. Someone will deliver it to the first floor later."
Upon reaching the Divine Ability layer on the first floor, Wan Lei found the Myriad Star Dust Array and clicked to claim it.
This caused him some heartache. The Netherworld Ghost Dao required one thousand Merit Points, while the Myriad Star Dust Array, as the second-ranked grand array in the Immortal Realm, cost a hefty one thousand five hundred Merit Points to redeem.
However, this array did not require array bases or anything similar. It was a human array, meaning it was directly cast by people, more akin to a divine ability.
Wan Lei had seen battle arrays formed by many people, but his team was never stable, and he often fought alone, so he hadn't delved into such matters.
It was said that the five great Immortal Venerables had been traveling together since they first met, and their Grand Five Elements Battle Array was invincible.
After clicking to claim it, they descended to the first floor, where someone was already waiting with the items.
The attendant, upon seeing Wan Lei and the others descend, immediately said with a smile,
"Young Master Wan, here is the Netherworld Ghost Dao you requested. Disciples who exchange for this Dao Law can also receive a complete Netherworld Cold Fire as a bonus, to help with cultivation as a seed. We have selected the coldest fire with the highest purity for you.
Wan Lei, this is your Myriad Star Dust Array."
Hey, why is this old man treating them so differently?
On the table lay two jade slips and a bronze lamp, from which a faint blue flame emanated.
Wan Qianxin picked up the jade slips and the bronze lamp and handed them to Xi Ren Yuan Jun.
"Cultivate it well when you get back."
The elder became anxious upon seeing this.
"Hey, hey, this won't do, Young Master Wan. Cultivation techniques in the Five Elements Hall can only be practiced by whoever exchanges for them. If this disciple wishes to cultivate, she must exchange for it herself."
"She's not a disciple; she's currently a servant."
"That's even more unacceptable. The Netherworld Ghost Dao, as a top-tier cultivation technique, cannot be practiced by a servant."
Wan Qianxin shot the old man a look.
"I'm giving it to her, what are you going to do about it? Or perhaps you want to go tell my father?"
"I..."
Where on earth am I supposed to find an Immortal Venerable?
The old man clearly couldn't afford to offend Wan Qianxin. He gritted his teeth secretly and said,
"Fine, but if anyone asks, I'll say you gave it to me. I can't bear this responsibility. However, you still need to pay for the Merit Points. That's two thousand five hundred for both divine abilities."
Wan Qianxin sighed and placed his foot on the stool. Despite his normally steady and wise nature, he deliberately put on a defiant air.
"Do you know who I am?"
"You... you are the son of an Immortal Venerable."
"Exactly. To be precise, the four of us are the biggest second-generation rich kids in the entire Prime Plane, we're prodigals, we're bullies, you understand what I mean."
Wan Qianxin looked at the old man with a cold smile, his expression exceedingly aggrieved.
"If prodigals still have to pay for their purchases, then what's the point of being a prodigal? Wouldn't it be a laughing matter if word got out?"
"Yes, we are prodigals and bullies, we are the sons of privilege."
"We do all sorts of evil, we bully men and women, we want to be great villains."
"We are four evil little guys, we want to do bad deeds."
Wan Lei looked at them in surprise, but it seemed they had referred to themselves this way the first time he met them.
