Chapter 244 Business Members Also Come to Chaos City?
Just a few minutes later, the Qianwu Kingdom's spaceship arrived above a magnificent ancient city.
The ancient and majestic city below, as a city created in the initial universe, gives people a sense of grandeur.
"Brother Xu, we've arrived at Chaos City." The King of Qianwu Kingdom turned his head to look at Xu Qing, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of familiarity.
Before the words had even finished, a black streak of light, enveloped in faint fluctuations of law, flew over from afar and came to a steady stop beside the spaceship.
"That's the reception envoy from Chaos City. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him."
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom pointed to the dark figure and added a sentence.
"If you run into trouble, just call me in the virtual universe. We brothers don't need to be polite."
After saying that, he turned around in his spaceship, the silver-gray hull drawing an arc in the void before quickly disappearing into the chaotic energy. Xu Qing followed the Chaos Envoy into Chaos City.
He looked around and saw that Chaos City consisted of small buildings. On the rooftops of many of these buildings, he could see people of various appearances sitting cross-legged in meditation. Some of them were carving something on the ground. The powerful aura they exuded was far stronger than that of a Realm Lord. Some of these powerful individuals were muttering something under their breath.
Above the sky, near the farthest rift in space, one could vaguely see several figures standing in mid-air. These figures would occasionally look down at the newcomer Xu Qing, their eyes filled with curiosity.
"Another little one has arrived."
"It's Ambassador Number 11 who's receiving us—is this the little guy from Virtual Universe Company?"
The immortals at the edge of the crack whispered among themselves, but soon realized something was wrong.
"Why is there only one? And wasn't it the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom who brought him here? Wasn't it said that the Nine Swords Venerable was the leader of this year's delegation?"
"You're talking about the Cosmic Genius Battle, right? I remember it's still about six years before those kids can come here!"
"So this kid didn't get in through the Genius Battle? Could he be a descendant of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler?" someone speculated.
"No! Look at his identification badge, he's a core member of the Department of Commerce, and also a core member of the Primal Secret Realm!" Someone checked Xu Qing's information through the virtual universe network and found that he was actually a core member in the business category.
"The Ministry of Commerce also has core members from the Primordial Realm? Aren't they mostly at the Primordial Realm?"
"Are you stupid!" someone nearby said. "For the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom to personally send someone into Chaos City, it must be related to the Universe Venerable. Maybe he's cleaning up the mess for the Qianwu Kingdom. Hasn't the Qianwu Venerable been short of money?"
"Oh, that's true. Haha, who doesn't know that the King of Qianwu is in debt?"
There were many immortals in Chaos City, most of whom concealed their auras, not daring to release them recklessly. Even so, Xu Qing could still clearly sense more than ten powerful auras soaring into the sky.
These should be the true top-tier beings in Chaos City.
Meanwhile, those immortal beings were still curiously observing Xu Qing.
"This Xu Qing must be someone like the investment genius 'Fitter' from the world's number one bank, right? But why would a business genius like him come to our Chaos City? Isn't this a place for cultivation and comprehending the laws of nature?"
"Pfft, you're right. I remember most of these business geniuses work from home. If they came here and stayed for decades, wouldn't they lose hundreds of billions or even trillions of mixed units?"
"Who knows?"
Xu Qing looked up at the immortals who were discussing this, and found that many of them still had their own light clinging to them, as if they were looking at rare and exotic beasts.
No wonder, it's not just that cultivation in Chaos City is very boring, but also because Chaos City is full of cultivators, and it's not a problem for them to go into seclusion and cultivate for decades or even tens of thousands of years.
And then a business genius suddenly barged in, like an abacus user suddenly appearing among a group of savages dressed in animal skins hunting.
This is so novel, even rarer than seeing a cosmic being.
The sight of the black-robed messenger leading him through the streets was indeed quite a spectacle.
The powerful figures meditating on the rooftops of the villas lining both sides of the street only opened their eyes to glance at them; most were immersed in their arduous cultivation and contemplation.
Many people have such long beards and hair that it seems like they haven't been trimmed for hundreds or thousands of years.
The ground and walls were covered with all sorts of strange symbols.
Those were various notes and symbols left behind by powerful individuals who once lived in Chaos City, representing their views on the fundamental laws of the universe.
"The city lord's mansion is just ahead," the black-robed envoy pointed ahead.
Xu Qing looked up.
It was a majestic and imposing building, over three hundred meters high. From afar, one could see the three most dazzling characters of the City Lord's Mansion—"City Lord's Mansion." Looking at those characters, one couldn't help but be drawn in, as if the characters themselves formed a space, a universe, and one's spirit was being constantly absorbed, as if drawn into the universe within those characters.
These are the words written by the Lord of the Universe; even immortal powerhouses dare not look at them for long.
—It looks close, but it's actually far away.
Even though the two walked quite fast, it took them several minutes to reach the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. They could see that there were often messengers in black robes coming and going in and out of the City Lord's Mansion, and occasionally some immortal beings and realm lords could be seen entering and leaving the City Lord's Mansion.
"Fifty-two Chaos Steles," the black-robed envoy said. "Every cultivator who enters the Initial Universe has one opportunity to study them, with a study period of seven days!"
"The Chaos Stele is a treasure of humankind. It conveys the path to the ultimate peak more clearly than any secret technique. Seven days of comprehension will be enough for you." The black-robed envoy then walked towards the main gate of the city lord's mansion.
"Mr. Xu, prepare to visit the Chaos Stele."
The immortals' six senses were already sharp, and every word reached the ears of the surrounding immortals. The group immediately perked up, and their discussions grew a bit louder.
"They're really here to cultivate? They're even choosing the Chaos Stele?"
"Pfft, why would a business genius get involved in this? Just buy some rare and precious herbs and nutrient solutions, and you'll be a Realm Lord, right? Why waste decades or centuries cultivating here? How many Primordial Units will that cost you?" Someone scoffed, their tone full of disapproval.
"Maybe he wants to become immortal?" another person joked.
"A business genius wants to become immortal? Ha! I've lived this long and I've hardly ever seen many like that." Someone shook their head and sighed.
"The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is really pitiful. He was already dirt poor, and even the marquises and immortals under his command didn't have much money. He finally managed to bring in a business genius, but he's the one who likes to mess around with cultivation."
A large group of immortals stared at Xu Qing's back with great interest, their eyes filled with amusement.
Most of them came from the battle of geniuses and know how difficult it is to become immortal.
Two genius battles in one era, two thousand people; in several eras, it would be good if one immortal emerged out of tens of thousands.
Although they knew that Xu Qing's status might be higher than their own, none of them believed that they were inferior to someone in business when it came to cultivation.
Xu Qing naturally heard these comments, but his face remained expressionless.
He simply stared at the dreamlike entrance to the corridor before him.
Huge paintings hang on the walls on both sides of the corridor.
There were exactly fifty-two rubbings, no more and no less, with each rubbing corresponding to a Chaos Stele!
