Quickly arriving near the huge thunder and lightning fortress, Meng Xingchen also looked over there.

At this time, the Ninth Prince Brolin himself had not arrived here yet. After entering the world within the world, he should have dispersed his men and searched everywhere for the real treasure location.

There was a huge gate on each side of the huge castle. At this time, all the gates were closed. Near two of the gates, there were several corpses that seemed to have been turned into charcoal by the power of thunder.

It seems that after these people discovered the castle, they immediately wanted to enter, but they were directly blown into charcoal by lightning emitted from all directions of the castle.

At this time, there were still people who received messages from their companions and gathered here quickly and scatteredly.

However, the newcomers, whether they were under the Ninth Prince or other adventurers taking the test, only dared to watch from afar after seeing the corpses near the fortress, and no one dared to approach those areas with dense thunder and lightning.

Meng Xingchen was not in a hurry. He stood among the crowd of adventurers taking the test and quietly watched the Thunder Fortress.

……

In the holy land of Black Dragon Mountain, Hargrave was walking around in the palace where he lived, feeling a little uneasy.

Just now, several other world masters from the holy land of Black Dragon Mountain had sent him video calls to ask questions.

Ask what is going on with the world within the world that appeared in the Thunder World.

Of course, Hargrave knew everything about the Thunder world, and Brolin had been reporting the latest situation to him.

In response to the inquiries from the powerful realm masters of these holy lands, Hargrave completely denied them, saying that he had no idea what was going on with Brolin.

As for Brolin himself, he now refuses to accept any calls from anyone other than himself.

"I hope my grandson can get the treasure as soon as possible!"

Hargrave thought to himself.

No matter what, Brolin, who was the first to enter the world within the world with 70,000 to 80,000 stars, still maintained a huge advantage and had a much greater chance of getting the treasure than others.

As for him, unless the "Lord of the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land", the founder of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, spoke, he would not pay attention to anyone else.

And the Lord of the Holy Land, an immortal being, can be said to own the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Why would he care about the treasure of the Lord of the Kabu Realm?

It is impossible to ask him personally about this matter.

……

Virtual Universe - Black Dragon Island - Killing Ground - Meditation Room.

Manluo was leaning on a recliner, swaying, leisurely watching the battle between two planetary-level figures in the decisive battle space.

Just now, Manluo also sent an email to Meng Xingchen, telling him about the news she had received about the middle world of Thunder World and asking him to be careful over there.

That's all.

The treasure of the Kabu Realm Lord in the Realm of the Realm is coveted by all the Realm Lords. But an Immortal like Manluo doesn't care at all.

The Thunder World is the territory of the "Cosmic Mercenary Alliance". The world masters of Black Dragon Mountain are making a fuss here, but the true immortal beings will not get involved at all.

There will be no good results if you anger the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

Meng Xingchen responded quickly, saying that he was safe and not in danger.

Manluo read the email and continued watching the battle in the decisive battle space.

A moment later, a video communication connection request was sent.

Manluo took a look and answered the call.

A branch domain master staff member appeared on the screen.

"Lord Manluo." After the domain master appeared, he immediately bowed to Manluo and reported, "The latest 'Qianwu Thousand Star List' has been updated. I sorted it out for Lord Manluo as soon as possible."

"Well, send it over."

Manluo straightened up from the recliner and said.

Obviously, he also attaches great importance to this thing called "Qianwu Thousand Star List".

"Wow..."

There was a flash of light on the screen, and a huge ranking light took up most of the screen.

Manluo waved at the domain master-level staff, and the other party immediately cut off the video connection and left.

“Let me take a closer look to see if there are any geniuses from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region on the list!”

After the domain lord staff member left, Manluo poured herself a glass of fruit wine and slowly watched the list on the screen.

"No one from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region is on the list yet." After slowly reading the new Qianwu Thousand Star Ranking, Man Luo sighed and drank the fruit wine in the glass in one gulp. "Fortunately, the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance... their branches in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region also have no one on the list."

This list was compiled by a powerful person from the Universe Mercenary Alliance. It is a list of star-level geniuses within the borders of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom for a period of time.

Normally it is updated approximately every 100 years.

When the "Space Genius War" is held, it will be updated every 10 years or so.

This list is a privately published list, but over the years it has been very useful as a reference.

Before the Genius War, being able to make it onto this list means there is a high probability of being among the top 1000 in the "Qianwu Star Region" in the future Genius War.

The closer it is to the Genius Battle, the more accurate the list will be. When the last list is updated before the Genius Battle, if the genius on the list is still qualified to participate in this Genius Battle, then there is a 30% chance that they will be among the top 1000 in the entire Qianwu Star Region in this Genius Battle.

A probability of over 30% is already very high.

Because under normal circumstances, when the genius battle is about to be held, all the geniuses will put in their best efforts, hiding somewhere and quietly working hard in an attempt to make a splash in the genius battle.

Many of the hidden and powerful masters will also send their disciples who have been "hidden" for many years to participate in the genius battle.

But no matter what, this Qianwu Thousand Star List still has a certain authority.

At the very least, those who can make it onto this list, if they are still eligible to participate in the Genius Battle, will definitely make a name for themselves in the various "world regions" in the first round of preliminaries.

"Before the Genius Battle, Xingchen's chance of being on the 'Qianwu Thousand Stars List' is still quite high!" Man Luo poured herself another glass of fruit wine, looked at the list and said leisurely, "Xingchen is still too young and has not practiced for a long time... Otherwise, he would definitely shine in the Genius Battle!"

……

……

Thunder World - a world within a world.

After just two or three hours, nearly ten thousand people had gathered around the Thunder Castle.

It was at this moment that the lightning around the huge castle began to slowly disappear.

"Ka...ka...ka..."

The huge castle gate slowly opened.

"Chi... chi... chi..."

As the castle gate opened, rays of auroras shot out from all around the castle into the void.

Soon, the castle gate was completely opened, and a huge shadow of an old man with a white beard condensed among countless beams of light.

"Hahahahaha..."

After the light and shadow of the white-bearded old man condensed, he laughed heartily towards the sky, then lowered his head to look down at the tens of thousands of assessment adventurers who were both horrified and excited.

"Welcome everyone to the world within the world. I have been waiting for this day for more than tens of millions of years..."

The old man with white beard looked down at everyone, with an inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

"The treasure is opened!"

"Who is this old man?"

"Could it be 'Lord of Kabu'?"

"No, I've seen what the Lord of Kabu looks like, and he doesn't look like this."

"Could it be the auxiliary intelligence of Lord Kabu?"

……

The crowd below looked at the white-bearded old man in the sky and whispered to each other.

"Little ones, I guess you all came here for the master's treasure?"

"Yes, the master's treasure is right here!"

"The master has a lot of treasures. Let me open your eyes to you little guys first..."

Having said that, the white-bearded old man flicked his sleeves, and immediately, shadows of treasures appeared around him.

"This is the master's 'full set of space secret inheritance crystal ball', this is the master's bank account password... and this, the fruit of life. Even if you are a peak realm master, no matter how serious the injury is, you only need one fruit to fully recover!"

"Little guys, are you excited? Do you want it? Hahahaha..."

The old man with a white beard displayed the treasures one by one, looking at the shock, greed, excitement and other expressions on the faces of the people below, and laughed again, "The master has a lot of treasures!"

"I sorted them out. There are 312 items in total, 68 types! They are all here..."

"Wow..."

All the treasure lights and shadows disappeared, transforming into a huge treasure catalog.

"No.1 Complete set of space secrets inheritance crystal ball deposit bank account (triple password)
No2 owner’s bank account number.

No3 Domain Master Level Bloodline Evolution Agent (One copy.)
......"

Seeing this list of items, Babata couldn't help but mutter in Meng Xingchen's mind again, "Part of the treasure list is almost exactly the same..."

Meng Xingchen smiled but did not reply.

What Babata was referring to was, of course, the list of treasures that he had previously controlled Feiyi-Nuo Lanshan to show to Hargrave and the ninth prince Brolin.

At this moment, tens of thousands of assessment adventurers below were already in a state of excitement.

Many people don’t recognize the treasure just by its light and shadow.

But after having the name, even if you don’t know it, you can log in to the virtual universe consciousness to query it.

Some people even made a rough estimate of the treasure list and concluded that the total value of the treasure of the Lord of Kabu Realm is at least over 1000 Hunyuan Units!
1000 Hunyuan units, that's 1000 trillion cosmic coins!
Totally crazy!

After reaching this conclusion, the entire castle went completely crazy.

But no matter how crazy they were, no one dared to actually attack the fortress.

Many people still remember vividly the scene where the power of thunder and lightning easily blasted the ninth-level star into ashes.

Even if there were no one who saw it with their own eyes, aren't those scumbag corpses still there?

"Little guys, do you want treasure?"

The white-bearded old man looked down at the tens of thousands of people, and continued with a smile on his face: "But treasures should not be given to others lightly!"

"Huh..." The white-bearded old man waved his sleeves again, showing a kind of stone light and shadow beside him.

When Meng Xingchen saw the picture of this stone, he felt relieved.

This is the kind of stone he collected along the way.

"Little guys, this kind of stone is called 'Thunder Stone'. It's not valuable, but it is a specialty of the World within the World." The white-bearded old man continued, "It doesn't exist in the outside world, only here..."

"Om..."

The huge treasure list shook, and a price was marked behind each treasure.

"A complete set of space secret inheritance crystal ball bank deposit account, (triple password): 1000 million thunder stones for each password. With the three passwords combined, you can obtain the inheritance crystal ball left by the owner at the first bank in the universe."

"Master's deposit bank account. 800 million Thunder Stones."

"Domain Lord-level bloodline evolution agent. 300 million thunder stones."

……

"Three Life Fruits. 80 Thunder Stones each."

"Three D6-class railguns. 21 thunder stones each."

……

"Six sets of the secret technique of Thunder are passed down. Each set costs 30 Thunder Stones."

……

"A fifth-level energy weapon, the Skyfire Wheel. Each piece costs 10 Thunder Stones."

"Oh my god, this old man is a fool!" After seeing the price list, Babata immediately shouted, "This price is wrong! Xingchen, there is a loophole here..."

"Babata, be patient." Meng Xingchen said to Babata in his mind.

Above the castle, the old man with white beard continued, "Go and find it! Little guys, as long as you find enough Thunder Stones, you can exchange them for treasures from me!
To make it easier for you to find it, I have also listed the distribution map of Thunder Stone in the world. Look, this is it, go find it. Lord Wu only wants Thunder Stone, whoever has Thunder Stone will be given a treasure! "

As he spoke, the white-bearded old man, Lord Wu, showed everyone a series of regional maps.

"My God, as long as I have this humble stone, I can exchange it for treasures?"

"Hahaha... we're rich! We, the ordinary star-level people taking the test, also have a chance!"

"Look for it quickly!"

……

Most of the tens of thousands of adventurers taking the assessment were extremely surprised, and many of them immediately left the team and went to look for the Thunder Stone according to the area map provided by the white-bearded old man, Lord Wu.

However, there were also people who stood still and did not move, but logged into the virtual universe with their consciousness and reported the latest situation to the forces behind them. (End of this chapter)
