Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 578

Only when one reaches the ultimate realm, or even the primordial realm, and there is no further progress, will one spend time researching other cultivation paths.

Therefore, although willpower attacks are powerful and valuable, they are not the core of the cultivation of god-kings.

"Hmm, these willpower attack techniques are somewhat valuable."

Rat Nine nodded. Even if he couldn't collect anything related to "Yuan", it wouldn't be a loss to collect these secret techniques of will.

"Hmm? There's no Origin Dao Secret Technique!"

However, Rat Nine soon discovered a problem: none of these secret techniques were related to the Origin Dao, which was not good.

Techniques of willpower are considered niche, with a high lower limit to their value but a low upper limit. Most people only trade one or two books, and understanding these things is enough.

Only the Primordial Dao Secret Method is inexhaustible in the demand of all cultivators; they only complain about having too little, not too much.

The word "Tao" alone explains the essence of these esoteric methods.

As long as it involves the fundamental Dao, it may appear to be a method, but the core of the Dao is contained within it, and these are the key points.

Most importantly, anyone who cultivates the Origin Dao, or even just becomes a God-King, can produce this kind of secret resource.

High demand and numerous providers are necessary to form a complete industry chain.

Moreover, because people are different, there are no completely identical Origin Dao Secret Methods, and all Origin Dao Secret Methods can fetch a price.

If it is a rare original Dao, or a secret method of the original Dao that has been deeply comprehended and flashed with inspiration, its value will increase many times over.

These interdimensional travelers have two major trading anchors: one is the dimensional origin, which, before reaching the limit of their souls, can enhance their soul origin by absorbing it.

This level of origin has already touched upon the origin of the source world, and can be used by people from all worlds.

Moreover, it has many other functions, such as refining weapons, cultivating, and restoring health, making it a veritable all-purpose energy source.

The other is the Origin Dao Secret Method, because the Origin Dao is also practiced by all realms.

Two things that can be found in all realms are as valuable as gold.

"These things alone are far from meeting the requirements for exchanging for the Great Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique."

Rat Nine squinted and chuckled, "Don't worry about me spying on your inheritance. If you can't get the 'Great Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique,' I believe we won't have another chance to meet."

As for whether the other party can become the ultimate God King, Rat Nine doesn't think that any God King he randomly encounters has that potential.

Moreover, even if such potential exists, it's not certain that it can be achieved in the future.

“We are not in the same world, so you don’t need to worry about the leakage of your heritage. I can even help you continue your heritage in other worlds, so you don’t have to worry about it being cut off.”

Rat Nine uttered words that were very tempting to some of the god-kings.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunhe had only recently become a God King and was still very young. He also had great confidence in his own abilities and did not care at all about leaving behind a legacy.

Only those god-kings whose future is hopeless might consider leaving behind a legacy.

"Oh, a kind of original Dao inheritance, can it be exchanged for the Great Realm-Breaking Teleportation Technique?" Sphia's clone asked.

"Do you think that's possible?"

Rat Nine countered, "In a special world like the Realm Heart Continent, some precious Origin Dao secret techniques can be exchanged for the Great Realm-Breaking Teleportation Technique, or even be more valuable. But within the closed Origin World, that's impossible."

"Oh, I'll think about it. How much do you think these things are worth?"

Sphia's clone replied perfunctorily. Although he didn't have any idea that his original Dao secrets were off-limits, he was also unwilling to trade them casually.

Although he possesses a considerable amount of original Dao inheritance, judging from Rat Nine's appearance, the chances of him ending up with nothing are quite high, because he has no ability to restrict the latter's power, and the transaction between the two parties is not equal, which is the key point.

"These things are all replicable inheritances, and there is also an ordinary cosmic god... that is, a god-king treasure. Its value is not high. It can only be exchanged for a fine god-king treasure or other original Dao inheritances."

Rat Nine said calmly, and the light screen between the two of them changed again, showing the appearance of some divine treasures.

They are all treasures of the first level of the God King, but there is a distinction between ordinary and fine ones within this level.

"hiss!"

Upon hearing Rat Nine's words and looking at the divine treasures on the light screen, Sphia's clone couldn't help but gasp.

Good heavens, this rat really thinks he's here to pawn his things, trying to drive the price down so hard.

"hehe!"

Rat Nine sneered: "Inheritance, this kind of knowledge, is hard to price."

"The Secret Technique of Willpower is good, but it's hard to find buyers. You came first, so I can still offer a price. If I buy a few more copies, I probably won't be able to buy any more."

“A divine treasure containing the Dao of Death will naturally fetch a lower price when it is recycled.”

"This book, 'Divine Essence Technique,' has some value, but obviously, cultivating it requires a lot of resources. Can you provide it?"

Rat Nine relentlessly pushed the price down, saying that as long as there were other people around, he wasn't worried about finding someone to trade with.

However, once they missed him, the people of this source world would never have the chance to come into contact with things from other worlds again, especially the "Great Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique".

To some extent, what Shu Jiu said is indeed correct. The price of knowledge-based things is very strange. Sometimes they are devalued to nothing, but other times they are priceless treasures.

"Then forget about this death chain!"

Sphia's clone paused for a moment. It had to be said that in the trading market, Rat Nine did indeed have the upper hand.

However, to exchange for a top-quality divine king treasure, in addition to inheriting it, he would have to give up another divine king treasure himself, which would be too much of a loss, since he doesn't have an overflow of treasures.

The other clones are still hungry and need nourishment; the effects of two God-King Treasures are far greater to him than one even stronger treasure.

The Origin Continent is still too poor. Even if he were to offer the "Divine Essence Technique" in a trade, it's unlikely that any God-King would be willing to trade such a treasure.

As for the secret arts of will, the God-Kings themselves have created their own. At most, they exchange them for reference. Who would exchange a God-King's treasure for another God-King's self-created secret arts of will?

After some thought, Sphia's clone still decided that trading was the only option.

"Then we can only exchange it for an ordinary God-King Treasure." The light screen in front of Rat Nine, and the row of treasures in front of him, instantly disappeared.

Among the remaining treasures, many can only be described as barely reaching the level of a god-king.

"Yes, just a reminder, there are purchase limits on physical items," Rat Nine added again.

After all, he was traveling abroad, and it was cross-world trade, so he didn't carry too many treasures with him.

Unlike inherited items, which can be easily copied at low cost, this is not something that can be inherited.

"The price you'll have to pay next time you want to exchange for a divine treasure will be even greater."

"Rat Nine!"

Sphia's clone's expression turned cold, but it quickly returned to normal.

When you're about to be hit, stand up straight. When faced with something you can't change, it's best to accept it first.

"it is good…"

"One ordinary God-King Treasure is enough!"

The Death Chain is, after all, a divine treasure of a god-king, and it can be traded with other god-kings on the Origin Continent. It's not bad to use it yourself.

If all else fails, add some treasures and reforge it; it will still be a handy divine treasure.

"Take control!"

Looking at the expression on Sphia's clone's face, Rat Nine knew that he had once again outmaneuvered a cosmic god.

He really enjoyed the feeling of being humiliated by this god-like being. He was annoyed by him, yet helpless against him, and most importantly, he was on the same level as him—it was truly exhilarating.

"Excellent, the deal is done!"

"You choose one yourself!"

With a wave of his hand, Rat Nine caused the light screen to slowly approach Sphia's clone.

Subsequently, Sphia's clone handed over a self-created secret technique of willpower and a rubbing of the "Divine Essence Technique" to Rat Nine, in exchange for a defensive divine treasure.

For these clones, the need for defensive treasures is not very high; they are mainly for the main body.

It's a divine treasure of the God-King, devoid of armor and specializing in defense, and it also incorporates some power of the Void Dao, so it's not bad.

He could take this treasure back and practice it again; perhaps he could improve even further.

"Aren't you really considering other deals? Since you're my first customer here, I can even offer you a discount."

Rat Nine put away the "Divine Essence Technique" and the Willpower Secret Technique, his expression somewhat regretful.

Letting go before fully exploiting the other party would be somewhat beneath my dignity.

"let me consider it!"

As for the time being, Sphia's clone said he was not considering trading his original Dao secret technique with Rat Nine.

He was already on high alert regarding this mysterious visitor from another source world.

The transaction just now was just a test; anyway, it involved some unimportant items, some of which I had just acquired.

"I will stay here until the secret realm closes. You can come find me anytime you've made up your mind."

"If you still want the treasure, I suggest you make a decision sooner rather than later. I don't have many treasures on me, and someone else might get there first."

"If your enemy were to obtain these treasures, you might have a real headache, wouldn't you?"

Rat Nine kept brainwashing people, and he used all sorts of methods, including purchase restrictions and funding the enemy.

Moreover, Rat Nine also acts like an exchange system, releasing various top-tier treasures, numerous original Dao inheritances, heaven-defying secret techniques, and so on, all seemingly tempting people.

These things were enough to tempt most god-kings, even Sphia's clone was no exception.

"It's very tempting, but unfortunately I can't pay you back yet. I'll come back to you after I've collected all the treasures."

Sphia smiled slightly at these things, then turned and left the pawnshop.

“Welcome next time!”

A sound that was physically unsettling emanated from afar, accompanied by the ringing of bells.

After Sphia's clone left, Rat Nine took out the two inheritances he had traded.

"The Secret Technique of Willpower!"

Rat Nine flipped through the secret techniques of will in his hand, finding them somewhat valuable for reference.

However, the greatest significance of this secret technique to him was its ability to lower prices.

Without the Dao, the marginal benefit of the same type of secret technique is very low.

With this secret technique, if others want to trade, he can relentlessly drive down the price and then guide them to bring out their fundamental Dao inheritance.
