Chapter 575: Cosmic Bandits!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“What do you mean?” Lin Wudao’s heart trembled as he asked.

“Young Master Ren, have you heard of the cosmic bandits?”

Cosmic bandits?

Lin Wudao shook his head.

“What about the origin plunderers?”

“This… I did hear from the Supreme that those are savages who specialized in plundering the origins of worlds.”

“Yes. In fact, the so-called origin plunderers are the cosmic bandits. In the cosmic, bandits are rampant. Not only do they plunder world origins, but also kill overwhelming prodigies. The Divine Kings buried in the ninth level of God Burial Land were all killed by the cosmic bandits. The cosmic bandits are extremely cruel. They specialize in stealing the origin of overwhelming prodigies and selling them. In the Nine Heavens Tower, many things were plundered by cosmic bandits from various great worlds, such as world origin, Heavenly Dao Origin, Supreme Bones, supreme divine blood…”

Mu Jiutian explained in detail.

Ha…

Lin Wudao took a deep breath.

This world was too dangerous. Enemies were everywhere!

“Are there many Conferred Divine Kings buried in the ninth level of God Burial Land?”

“Yes. It is said that even if there are not 1,000, there are 800. Right, Young Master Ren, the cosmic bandits are extremely rampant. No one knows when they will appear. Therefore, if you want to go to God Burial Land, it’s better to be fully prepared,” Mu Jiutian reminded him.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes.

“Are you saying that cosmic bandits might appear in God Burial Land?”

“It’s possible. To be on the safe side, I suggest that Celestial Lord Qinglan go to the Xuanhuang Great World with us. He’s invincible among the Quasi-Immortal Emperors. With Celestial Lord Qinglan around, no matter how rampant the cosmic bandits are, they would never dare to make a move,” he suggested.

Lin Wudao nodded.

Although he had never seen the cosmic bandits before, he could tell how terrifying they were from Mu Jiutian’s description. They were definitely the most brutal maniacs.

With his strength, it was better for him to be careful.

“Is Celestial Lord Qinglan in the City of Heavens?”

“Yes. The Celestial Lord is in the Nine Heavens Tower,” Ji Ruyue answered.

“Okay. Oh, right, Goddess Ji, 1 have a drop of Pure Dao Water here. I’ll have to trouble you to exchange it for supreme-grade divine crystals. Also, inform Celestial Lord Qinglan to go to the Xuanhuang Great World with us. 1 have already received a decree from the Supreme, allowing me to bring people along.”

Lin Wudao handed the last drop of Pure Dao Water to Ji Ruyue.

“Young Master, wait a moment. 1’11 go now.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Ruyue left on a beam of immortal light.

After she left, Lin Wudao fell into deep thought.

God Burial Land only lasted a day, but it was impossible for him to stay there for a full day. He had to settle the matter quickly.

If he dug graves himself, the efficiency would be too slow. He had to find help.

“Sigh, it’s a pity that the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu can’t… Wait, maybe I can recruit them!”

Suddenly, Lin Wudao thought of a solution.

“System, can 1 summon the Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu to head to the Xuanhuang Great World?”

[No. They are not your retinues and cannot be recruited from other worlds.]

No, huh?

Lin Wudao sighed.

[Then can I invite people across different great worlds?]

[Yes. For God-realm beings from the Great World of Divine Desolation to the Xuanhuang Great World, each person will require 100 trillion supreme-grade divine crystals.]

Huh…

As soon as this was said, Lin Wudao gave up on the idea.

Just a God-realm powerhouse would require 100 trillion supreme-grade divine crystals each time. Wouldn’t it be even more ridiculous if it were Sages?

“Then can I give them the talismans of the City of Heavens?”

[Other than the host, only those who have reached the Great Emperor realm are qualified to enter the City of Heavens.]

“I see.”

Things were just as he had expected.

“Then can I invite Zhao Wushen and the others?”

[Yes. Inviting them to great worlds of the same level can exempt you from divine crystals, and you’ll be able to directly enlist them.]

[However, this is only limited to great worlds of the same level, and it is only limited to living beings who have the talisman of the City of Heavens.]

“Does this mean that if I want to recruit them into the Great World of Divine Desolation, I still have to pay divine crystals?”

[Yes.]

“Sigh, there really is no free lunch in this world. The restrictions between the great worlds are not so easy to break,” Lin Wudao sighed.

His gaze fell on Mu Jiutian, who was standing next to him.

After the fortune of the last cosmic tide, he had successfully forged an immortal body, and celestial energy had been derived from his body.

Now, Mu Jiutian was already a genuine True Celestial.

“Heavenly Emperor Mu, congratulations on becoming a celestial. From now on, 1 should call you Celestial Mu, hehe…” Lin Wudao teased.

“Young Master, you’re too kind. The reason why I can have the good fortune 1 have today and reach the True Celestial realm is all thanks to the favor and guidance of the Supreme. Otherwise, with my talent, I’m afraid I’ll have to go through a lot of time to become a celestial. As for how to address me, Young Master Ren, you can just call me by my name.”

Mu Jiutian was very humble and respectful. Without the Supreme, he was nothing.

Lin Wudao was very satisfied with his temperament and attitude.

“I’ll just call you Heavenly Emperor Mu. Perhaps one day, the two words Heavenly Emperor will become your exclusive title, just like the Kunlun Immortal Emperor of the mythological era. I believe that under the favor of the Supreme, you will surely reach the level of the Kunlun Immortal Emperor one day. In fact, you might even surpass her,” Lin Wudao said with a smile.

Kunlun Immortal Emperor?

Upon hearing this name, Mu Jiutian’s heart trembled.

Just as he muttered the name in his heart, he felt a great terror sweep over him. He was unable to bear the karma.

It seemed that the name of the Kunlun Immortal Emperor was taboo. It couldn’t be said nor mentioned.

“May I ask Young Master… What kind of existence is she?”

Mu Jiutian suppressed the fear and respect in his heart and asked carefully.

In response, Lin Wudao smiled.

“Kunlun Immortal Emperor? Celestial Lord Qinglan should be the most familiar with him. Back then, when he proved his Dao to become an Immortal Emperor, he only took a glance at Kunlun Immortal Emperor’s copper coffin before he was contaminated with taboos as he had violated karma. As a result, he was knocked down from the Immortal Emperor realm. That copper coffin is a forbidden object that Kunlun Immortal Emperor brought back from a desolate region of the cosmic. Although she is called an Immortal Emperor, her cultivation has long surpassed the Immortal Emperor realm. Kunlun Immortal Emperor is her Great Dao title.”

Ha!

Surpass the Immortal Emperor realm? Great Dao title?

In that case, wasn’t Kunlun Immortal Emperor the strongest Immortal Emperor in the Great Dao epoch back then?

She had suppressed at least one Great Dao epoch!

“I cannot imagine just what kind of terrifying existence that is…”

While Mu Jiutian was shocked, he was also fascinated. In his heart, he secretly regarded Kunlun Immortal Emperor as his goal.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

While they were chatting, Ji Ruyue and Xiao Qinglan arrived on immortal light.

“Young Master Ren, these are your 10 trillion supreme-grade divine crystals.”

Ji Ruyue handed Lin Wudao a storage bag.

“Thanks. This time, I can’t stay in the Xuanhuang Great World for long, at most a day. I’ve already gotten the Supreme Decree to summon Zhao Wushen and Ji Haotian to go together. Goddess Ji, Celestial Lord Qinglan, I’ll have to trouble the two of you to make a trip.”

“No problem!”

Ji Ruyue and Xiao Qinglan responded with a smile.

To be able to get closer to Lin Wudao was something they could not wish for more.

They immediately returned to their respective great worlds as fast as they could, bringing Zhao Wushen and Ji Haotian to the City of Heavens.

It had been a while, and those two had already become Heavenly Emperors..
