Chapter 239 Creditors' Gathering
A faint, vast river of stars appeared in the void before Xu Qing's eyes. It was several light-years wide and its length was boundless, at least tens of light-years, as if it led to the end of the starry sky.
In this indistinct river, various strange artifacts float, each radiating a terrifying pressure.
"We've arrived. This is the Thousand Treasure River Realm." The Qianwu Kingdom Lord raised his hand to put away the silver-gray spaceship, turned his head to explain to Xu Qing, his tone somewhat solemn, "This is the true core area of the Primal Secret Realm. Ordinary immortals don't even have the qualifications to approach it."
"I brought you here today just so you can meet some of my friends and promote our channels."
Xu Qing's gaze fell on the river that resembled a galaxy, and he could clearly feel the terrifying energy surging within it.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom followed his gaze and continued:
"The Thousand Treasures River Realm is not only the core area of the Primal Secret Realm, but it is also the treasure of our race's Universe Lord, Chaos City Lord, the Thousand Treasures Robe."
"The fact that a single garment can create such a magnificent spectacle shows just how powerful the Lord of Chaos City is."
"Legend has it that the Thousand Treasures River is composed of thousands of precious treasures. If it were disassembled, it would contain thousands of precious treasures."
"However, who would be willing to dismantle such a treasure? The many treasures contained in the Thousand Treasures River were created to complement and enhance each other. If they were dismantled and existed separately, each of these treasures would have its flaws, and they would probably only have the power of a single top-tier treasure. Only when they are gathered together and transformed into the Thousand Treasures River can they become a top-tier treasure that can traverse the universe."
"Normally, this treasure is kept hidden in the Primordial Secret Realm, unseen and unremarkable." The Qianwu Kingdom Lord changed the subject, with a hint of warning, "Although you can enter now, don't underestimate it—once the Thousand Treasures River no longer conceals its power, even I, a Universe Venerable, will be injured within its domain. As for those below the Universe Venerable level, entering it will mean certain death."
"Not to mention that when the Lord of Chaos City truly unleashes his domain, he can annihilate several light-years of spacetime in the blink of an eye. Even a cosmic overlord would perish, and ordinary cosmic lords would not be able to withstand it." At this point, the Qianwu Kingdom ruler couldn't help but sigh, "Our human race has been able to maintain its position among the top races thanks to the foundation laid by the Lord of Chaos City."
Xu Qing glanced at the King of Qianwu after hearing him say this.
That's true.
After all, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom's wealth alone is ten thousand times that of other universe venerables.
Of course, this net worth is negative.
While others have mountains of positive assets, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom has a sea of negative assets and will probably never be able to turn his life around.
Without the help of Xu Qing or Luo Feng in the future, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom would probably be stuck with the title of the universe's number one deadbeat for the rest of his life.
However, even though his net worth was negative, it was still a kind of strength—Xu Qing thought to himself.
The Qianbao River alone is worth 1,000 qian, and it's priceless.
Before the words were even finished, the two had already stepped into the territory of Qianbao River.
As soon as he entered, Xu Qing saw that above the starry river, palace complexes rose from the ground and stood steadily in the river surface several light-years wide, with a magnificent presence.
"Those are the residences of the Human Race's Universe Venerables and Universe Lords." The Qianwu Kingdom King pointed to a cluster of buildings not far away, "That is my palace."
With the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler leading the way, a vast palace complex appeared before Xu Qing.
Those were palaces millions or tens of millions of miles high, palaces larger than stars, stretching out in a continuous line for hundreds of millions of kilometers, enveloped in a hazy glow, making one feel as if they had arrived at a legendary celestial palace.
As Xu Qingguang stepped into the main hall, he felt an unprecedented spaciousness. Even if Mount Everest on Earth were to fall to this place, it would be like dust. A planet like Earth would look smaller than a grain of rice here.
Even the entire Dou Qi Continent, if it fell here, wouldn't be much bigger than a marble.
Although the scene before him was so shocking, Xu Qing was not particularly surprised.
This little bit of stuff isn't worth many Hunyuan units, otherwise the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom would probably have sold it long ago.
As Xu Qing stepped into the palace, six vast and powerful pressures immediately filled the world before him.
In an instant, he felt as if countless black holes were appearing before his eyes, tearing at his body.
The slight pressure dissipated upon contact.
As the oppressive aura dissipated, a powerful alien with purple skin and a silver scalp stepped out and looked at the two, saying, "Old Ghost Qianwu, you've finally arrived. We've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Mei, haha, it's been a long time since we last met," the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom greeted her.
Upon hearing this name, Xu Qing understood that this alien venerable was one of the creditors of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, the high-level cosmic venerable, Venerable Mei.
Besides Venerable Mei, Xu Qing could also sense five other beings emanating the aura of Venerables from the slight pressure he had just felt.
These must all be friends of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.
"But you could also call it a creditors' gathering," Mei Nuo chuckled as she approached. "Heh, it's only been a few hundred thousand years since we last met." "You specially invited us old brothers for drinks, surely you're not planning to discuss repaying the debt?"
The King of Qianwu Kingdom's face instantly turned awkward, his smile froze, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Haha, just kidding!" Mei patted his shoulder, her tone softening. "Brother, I know your difficulties. We've known each other for billions of years. You can pay me back whenever you want."
"Mei, the juniors are still here, don't undermine me." The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head helplessly.
Mei laughed heartily, turning her gaze to Xu Qing beside her with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Qian Wu, is this little guy the human you mentioned who became a core member of the Primal Secret Realm as a 'business genius'?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing saw five other imposing figures appear in the hall.
Some were clad in dark gold armor, some were in the form of human bodies with animal heads, and some were in the form of barbarians wrapped in animal skins. Each figure exuded a venerable aura no less powerful than that of Mei.
One of the Venerable Ones, who appeared to be of normal appearance, looked at Xu Qing with a hint of surprise in his voice: "It is rare to see someone who is not a cultivation genius enter the core layer of the Primal Secret Realm."
"Haha, Bei, the wine I'm treating you to is made by this young brother Xu Qing," the Qianwu Kingdom Lord introduced. "Oh?" The Northern Venerable's face showed surprise, then he looked at Xu Qing and said with a hint of doubt, "Xu Qing? He's just a little guy at the Universe level, probably not even ten thousand years old yet, and he can make wine that can get even a Universe Venerable like us drunk?"
Not only did Venerable Beiming's tone reveal a hint of doubt, but Venerable Mei and several other Venerables also couldn't believe it and curiously looked at Xu Qing.
