Virtual Universe, Pantheon Mountain.
Clouds swirled, and mountain peaks were faintly visible.
Inside a stone pavilion on the mountainside, several Universe Venerables were chatting idly.
"This supreme meeting is mostly for the opening of Original Star."
"The last time Original Star opened, my strength hadn't reached High-level Venerables, so I didn't have a chance to venture into Original Star. This time, I must go and explore."
"It's time to go. The Original Star has many treasures. Maybe there's a chance to obtain an Arcana Treasure."
"I'm not thinking about Arcana Treasures; they appear slowly and are easy to attract powerful beings. It would be good enough to obtain a few precious Heavy Treasures."
"When Original Star opens, we can borrow treasures from powerful beings who aren't going to Original Star."
"Who to borrow from? The treasures we lack are at least precious top-tier Heavy Treasure level, and powerful beings who possess such treasures will all go to Original Star."
"Blade River of Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, doesn't he possess multiple Arcana Treasures? We can borrow treasures from him."
"Borrow Heavy Treasures from Blade River? Difficult! We have no friendship with Blade River, how could we possibly borrow Arcana Treasures? Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company also has more than ten Venerables."
"That Blade River is truly Heaven-Defying. It's said he has three Arcana Treasures, and his strength is not much worse than King Holy Flame. Our human race might gain another Top-tier Universe Overlord in the future."
"You don't look at who Blade River's teacher is. Compared to Venerable Radiance, Blade River has fewer treasures…"
Besides discussing the opening of Original Star, several Venerables also talked about Blade River, who had recently risen to fame in the Universe. When they mentioned the many Arcana Treasures on him, they expressed much envy.
Because there was still some time before the Pantheon Sanctuary opened, faint sounds of conversation emanated from the mountainside of the Pantheon Mountain, drifting with the clouds.
On a relatively flat boulder.
Venerable Swift Thunder smiled at Luo Feng, who was standing beside him, "Junior Brother, did you hear? Many Venerables are talking about you."
"More of them want to borrow treasures from me." Luo Feng shook his head helplessly.
"Haha, that's normal."
Venerable Swift Thunder laughed, "Although you killed King Fei Jing, your strength is only comparable to a mid-level Universe Venerable. Everyone thinks you won't go to Original Star, so they naturally think of coming to you to borrow treasures."
"After all, you have multiple Heavy Treasures, while many High-level Venerables in the race don't even have one Arcana Treasure, even though our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company distributed a large amount of Arcana Treasure points back then."
"Heavy Treasure points?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled, "Senior Brother, what are Arcana Treasure points?"
Venerable Swift Thunder asked, "You should know that by contributing to the race, you gain contribution points, right?"
"I know." Luo Feng nodded.
For example, King-level Immortal guarding resource points in Universe Secret Realm, or Universe Venerables guarding a Universe Country, can acquire contribution points after a certain period.
"Contribution points are divided into three types. The most common is contribution points, where 1 contribution point is equivalent to 10,000 Mixed units."
Venerable Swift Thunder introduced, "Above contribution points are Heavy Treasure points. 1 Heavy Treasure point can be exchanged for the most ordinary Heavy Treasure, valued at approximately 10 trillion Mixed units."
"Generally speaking, 10 trillion Mixed units can be exchanged for a Heavy Treasure in the Treasure Vault of the Race, but exchanging with Mixed units requires queuing for application, while exchanging with contribution points does not require queuing."
Luo Feng nodded upon hearing this. In other words, 1 billion contribution points can be exchanged for 1 Heavy Treasure.
No wonder many King-level Immortals in the race didn't fight on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, but instead guarded resource points in Universe Secret Realm.
"Above Heavy Treasure points are the most valuable Arcana Treasure points."
Venerable Swift Thunder sighed, "These Arcana Treasure points can be exchanged for a great many treasures, and many treasures and resources can only be exchanged with Arcana Treasure points."
"The most ordinary Arcana Treasure weapon is worth about 1 Arcana Treasure point in the Treasure Vault of the Race."
"Arcana Treasure points are indeed for exchanging Arcana Treasures!"
Luo Feng had already guessed this, and Venerable Swift Thunder's words confirmed his speculation.
"Senior Brother, how many Arcana Treasure points did the company distribute before?" He asked curiously. "300 Arcana Treasure points."
Venerable Swift Thunder replied, "The Universe Venerables who guard a Universe Country for our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company all received a reward of 1 Arcana Treasure point."
Hearing this number, even Luo Feng, who was wealthy, couldn't help but be surprised, "Good heavens, the company distributed 300 Arcana Treasures at once!"
"Senior Brother said that many High-level Venerables in the race don't have a single Arcana Treasure, and the company distributed 300 Arcana Treasures before…"
Luo Feng couldn't help but think, "Our human race only has a few thousand Venerables, how many of them are High-level Venerables?"
"Although 300 Arcana Treasure points are a lot, some precious Arcana Treasures are worth more than 300 Arcana Treasure points each."
Venerable Swift Thunder sighed, "For example, Junior Martial Uncle possesses multiple precious Arcana Treasures, which are rare even among Universe Masters. Each one is worth over 300 Arcana Treasure points."
"Junior Martial Uncle has so many precious Arcana Treasures?" Luo Feng's eyes widened slightly, feeling quite surprised.
"Hehe, when I first heard about it, I was as surprised as you."
Venerable Swift Thunder laughed, "Senior Uncle Night Bright once said that when Junior Martial Uncle fully activated his precious Domain-type Arcana Treasure, he alone suppressed over a hundred High-level Venerables, preventing them from moving. The scene was extremely shocking."
Luo Feng was stunned.
Suppressing over a hundred High-level Venerables by himself, just thinking about it was shocking.
One must know that his current strength was only comparable to a mid-level Venerable; when encountering High-level Venerables, he could only flee for his life.
If he became a Universe Venerable, his strength would be greatly enhanced, possibly even possessing Universe Overlord combat power. However, even a Universe Overlord would find it difficult to suppress a hundred Venerables.
As the saying goes, 'many ants can kill an elephant.' In the history of the Original Universe, many Universe Overlords have fallen at the hands of High-level Venerables who joined forces.
"Not only that, but Junior Martial Uncle, relying on a palace Arcana Treasure, could not even be harmed by a Top-tier Universe Overlord comparable to a Universe Master."
Venerable Swift Thunder chuckled, "Even when a Universe Master from the Thorn Ring Alliance descended, he didn't dare to rashly attack Junior Martial Uncle, after all…"
Boom…
Before Venerable Swift Thunder could finish speaking, he heard a roar from heaven and earth.
In the clouds of the sky, two magnificent golden gates slowly opened, both adorned with a brilliant starry sky.
"Human Powerhouse, gather!" A majestic voice echoed through heaven and earth.
Whoosh!
All the Universe Venerables on the Pantheon Mountain instantly vanished, all teleported into the Pantheon Sanctuary.
Rumble…
The two magnificent golden gates, illuminating the entire space, slammed shut!
…
Inside the Pantheon Sanctuary.
There was an incredibly massive round table. From Luo Feng's perspective, he could only see a part of the round table. The rest of it, where others were seated, was shrouded in clouds, making it difficult to discern.
Countless thrones surrounded the round table, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Luo Feng sat on one of these thrones, with the words 'Blade River' on his back. Below him, he saw some initial-level Venerables sitting on thrones that were only 2 meters wide.
He looked left and right, seeing mid-level Venerables sitting on 10-meter-wide thrones around him. Above them were numerous High-level Venerables on 50-meter-wide thrones.
As for the Universe Overlords and the high and mighty Universe Masters, they were completely enveloped in hazy clouds, impossible to see clearly.
"Our human race actually has so many High-level Venerables."
Luo Feng looked upwards, feeling incredible. The number of High-level Venerables was even greater than the initial-level Venerables below him!
