Chapter 600 - 433: Origin Continent, Divine Lord of the Origin Divine Country ’Yuan Tiankong

Xu Qing met the nine members of the Procurement Department’s First Group. They consisted of four women and five men, two of whom were from the Human Race, just like him.

The other seven were not of the Human Race but belonged to various other races, some of which Xu Qing didn’t even recognize.

Of course, that didn’t matter.

"Greetings, Team Leader."

The nine members of the Procurement Department’s First Group bowed to Xu Qing.

"Mm."

Xu Qing nodded slightly.

The nine members were: Golden Snake Tiger, Yang Wuling, Qiu Jinwu, Lin Feifei, Zhang Longhu, Miao Sen, Kodell, Meng Fanling, and Qiao Zhanlong.

Among them, Yang Wuling and Lin Feifei were the two from the Human Race.

"Let’s depart," Xu Qing said.

"Yes."

"As you command!"

...

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Immediately, Xu Qing and his team entered a special vehicle—a Level 1 Langya Flying Cabin. This unique mode of transport could travel freely between the Thirty-Six Heavens and the One Hundred and Eight Continents of the Unique True Realm.

Basically, it could reach any place in the Unique True Realm.

The Langya Flying Cabins were also divided into nine levels.

Level 1 was the lowest.

Level 9 was the highest.

Right now, Xu Qing and his team were riding a Level 1 Langya Flying Cabin to the Origin Continent, one of the One Hundred and Eight Continents, to complete their procurement of the Stone of Origin.

Furthermore, the procurement funds for this trip were all on Xu Qing’s person.

A full ten thousand Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals.

In fact, Xu Qing’s breath hitched when he saw so many Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals. Such a quantity of Longevity Crystals was practically priceless.

Moreover, a single Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystal could be absorbed for one hundred quintillion True Points.

Ten thousand crystals.

That would be a full one septillion True Points.

Unfortunately, these Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals didn’t belong to him; they belonged to the True Realm Tower. Xu Qing was merely safeguarding them, as they were the funds the True Realm Tower had allocated for procuring the Stone of Origin.

Therefore, Xu Qing couldn’t absorb the True Points from them and could only stare, practically drooling.

There was nothing to be done about it.

HUFF...

Xu Qing took a deep breath. ’Out of sight, out of mind,’ he thought.

BOOM!

The next moment, the Level 1 Langya Flying Cabin plunged into the void of the Unique True Realm. It felt like a spaceship performing a jump through spacetime, and Xu Qing and the others all felt the vibrations.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, about a day had passed.

The Level 1 Langya Flying Cabin crossed an unknown distance and safely arrived at the Origin Continent. They had reached the Origin Divine Country, one of the Nine Great Divine Countries on the continent that traded with the Langya Branch Tower.

The Origin Divine Country was located on the Origin Continent. Among the continent’s Nine Great Divine Countries, it could be considered the foremost. Xu Qing and his team arrived at its capital, the City of Origin.

In fact, there was a reason why this procurement of the Stone of Origin was so important that it required Xu Qing’s personal involvement, unlike previous missions.

The reason was very simple.

This procurement was only the first step in building trust between the Langya Branch Tower and the Origin Divine Country. The ten thousand Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals were merely a down payment.

Furthermore, if trust was successfully established between both parties, a much larger order would follow, creating a significant trade relationship.

Therefore, this first transaction had to be foolproof. Any problem would mean losing an entire trade route. Conversely, if Xu Qing succeeded, he would have established a new trade route, earning a reward from the Langya Branch Tower and potentially even a share of the profits.

In fact, it was only after fully understanding all this that Xu Qing felt motivated and interested. He had even gone out of his way to research the Origin Divine Country’s situation.

First, ten thousand years ago, the Origin Continent was a unified land, ruled by the Origin Divine Country. In those days, the Origin Divine Country was truly a top-tier influence.

It had ruled the Origin Continent for an unknown number of years.

However, just ten thousand years ago, an upheaval erupted.

The Origin Divine Country shattered. After ten thousand years, the Origin Continent devolved into a state of contention among the Nine Great Divine Countries. Although the Origin Divine Country is considered the foremost among them, it has never reclaimed the glory it held ten thousand years ago.

Additionally, what did ten thousand years in the Unique True Realm even mean?

In the Unique True Realm, time was also measured in years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. A single day in the Unique True Realm was equivalent to an entire Era of Chaos in the Sea of Chaos.

A year in the Unique True Realm was three hundred and sixty-five days, equivalent to three hundred and sixty-five Eras of Chaos. Therefore, ten thousand years in the Unique True Realm was equivalent to three million, six hundred and fifty thousand Eras of Chaos in the Sea of Chaos.

While Xu Qing was lost in thought, they arrived at the Royal Capital of the Origin Divine Country. The flying cabin landed in the plaza before the royal palace, where the Divine Lord of the Origin Divine Country had come to welcome them personally.

It should be noted that the Divine Lord of the Origin Divine Country was an existence who had surpassed the Second Realm: Seeking Truth Realm. His power was immense, and he held control over the entire Origin Divine Country.

"Xu Qing, Team Leader of the First Group, Procurement Department, First Floor of the Langya Branch Tower, pays his respects to the esteemed Divine Lord of the Origin Divine Country!"

Xu Qing stepped out of the Level 1 Langya Flying Cabin and saw the Divine Lord. The man was three meters tall, powerfully built, with rippling muscles. His entire body was covered in the Engravings of Origin Divine Patterns. He had a wild mane of red hair and a smile on his face, yet he radiated an effortless authority.

The Divine Lord of the Origin Divine Country.

His true name was Yuan Tiankong.

"Good."

Yuan Tiankong smiled as he sized up Xu Qing. With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell that Xu Qing’s foundation was exceedingly solid. Although he was only a Mid-stage True Master, the aura he emitted was incredibly profound.

"Greetings, esteemed Divine Lord!"

Behind Xu Qing, the nine members of the First Group bowed deeply to Yuan Tiankong, their attitudes exceedingly respectful. This was the Lord of a Divine Country, the master of a first-tier influence. His Realm was profound and his power immense; a single exhaled breath could annihilate them all.

Naturally, the nine members were reverent toward the Divine Lord of the Origin Divine Country.

Besides, the reason Yuan Tiankong had personally come to greet them, giving them an immense amount of face, was because of what they represented. Behind Xu Qing’s group was the Langya Branch Tower, and behind the tower was the True Realm Tower—one of the Nine Great Forces of the Unique True Realm, a truly supreme existence.

Furthermore, the Origin Divine Country genuinely needed to form an alliance with the Langya Branch Tower and establish a stable trade channel. For them, the advantages of such a partnership far outweighed any disadvantages.

Moreover, the Origin Divine Country had accumulated a vast quantity of the Stone of Origin. Through their own channels, it was difficult to sell off their entire stock, let alone sell it at a high price.

In addition, the Origin Divine Country had many other goods besides the Stone of Origin that needed to be sold in exchange for other necessary resources.

After exchanging a few more words, Yuan Tiankong led the way, flanked by the ministers of the Origin Divine Country. Each minister was an existence of an extremely high Realm and formidable power.

Soon, Xu Qing, Yuan Tiankong, and the others arrived in a grand hall. They sat comfortably in their prepared seats, where they were presented with rare delicacies and snacks. Beauties from various races sang and danced for their entertainment.

The other members of the First Group had never witnessed such a spectacle. Their faces flushed red with excitement, and they quickly became entranced.

After all, the nine members of the First Group were only at the True One level. Despite being backed by the Langya Branch Tower, their worldliness was admittedly lacking.

Only Xu Qing remained calm.

"Divine Lord."

Xu Qing’s expression was composed. He took a deep breath, looked at Yuan Tiankong, and said in a steady voice, "Let’s get straight to business."

"No need to rush."

Yuan Tiankong replied with a beaming smile, "No need to rush. We’re still waiting for a few more guests. Besides, you’ve all come a long way. Why not rest and have something to eat first?"
