From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

Li Yang actually used all one hundred million of his contribution points to exchange for Star Moon Fruits.

’He used them all on Star Moon Fruits,’ Elder Lie Shu thought, but he just smiled and said, ”Very well.”

He had no objections. Since the Star Moon Fruits were on offer, he wouldn’t say a word even if Li Yang chose to redeem them all.

”Young Master Li Yang, please wait a moment.” After speaking, Elder Lie Shu went to retrieve the fruits.

Soon, he returned with one hundred Star Moon Fruits.

’So this is a Star Moon Fruit?’ Li Yang wondered, examining it closely.

The fruit was black and white, with a crescent-shaped pattern that faintly pulsed with energy.

This was the Star Moon Fruit that so many people craved—the key to breaking through to the Divine Realm!

”Young Master Li Yang, all one hundred Star Moon Fruits are here,” Elder Lie Shu said with a smile.

Li Yang nodded, and with a wave of his right hand, he stored the fruits away.

”Smart move, kid. Using all your contribution points on Star Moon Fruits. I didn’t think you’d figure it out,” Soul Ink, who had been silent until now, commented dryly.

Clearly, using all his contribution points for Star Moon Fruits was the wisest choice. However, Soul Ink hadn’t said anything to remind Li Yang earlier.

Hearing Soul Ink, Li Yang retorted irritably, ”I’ve already made the exchange. A little late for a reminder, don’t you think?”

Ignoring Soul Ink, Li Yang and the others left the treasury, their contribution points now spent.

Outside the treasury, a member of the Werewolf Race was waiting silently.

’The three-year inheritance period is over. Li Yang should be coming out soon, right?’

He had been waiting here for three years. His sole purpose, of course, was to kill Li Yang.

’Hm?’

Just as he was thinking, the werewolf’s heart leaped with excitement as he looked ahead.

There, Li Yang was walking out.

’Looks like Li Yang is done exchanging for treasures in the Star Moon Race’s treasury.’

He thought to himself that his chance to strike was drawing ever closer.

’A monstrous human genius is nothing once they’ve fallen,’ the werewolf thought in anticipation, waiting for his moment to strike.

「...」

”Elder Lie Shu, thank you for your clan’s hospitality. I shall take my leave now,” Li Yang said with a smile.

Having spent his one hundred million contribution points, he had no intention of staying with the Star Moon Race any longer and was ready to depart.

”Haha, Young Master Li Yang, don’t be in such a hurry to leave.”

Hearing Li Yang’s words, Elder Lie Shu chuckled. ”Our clan has a place that would be perfect for you, Young Master Li Yang. Why don’t you see it first before you decide to leave?”

”Oh? What place is that?” Li Yang asked, his curiosity piqued.

’A place perfect for me? Does the Star Moon Race have another place of great opportunity?’

Elder Lie Shu smiled. ”Young Master Li Yang, you spent three years in our Star Moon Race’s land of inheritance. I imagine your mind is still buzzing with insights you haven’t fully digested yet, correct?”

Li Yang nodded. The laws had been crammed into his mind all at once, and he indeed had much left to process. In the time to come, his grasp of the laws would continue to advance rapidly as he digested what he had learned.

Elder Lie Shu explained, ”Our Star Moon Race has existed for a very long time. Although the inheritance only opens once every billion years, the number of clan members who have entered over the ages is staggering!”

When speaking of his clan, Elder Lie Shu’s voice was filled with clear reverence.

”And each time, after our clan members emerge, they go to a specific place to digest what they’ve learned and cultivate quietly for a time.”

Li Yang had planned to do the same—return to Earth after leaving the Star Moon Race, find a quiet place to digest his gains, and focus on his cultivation.

”And during this period of digestion and cultivation, our clansmen often leave behind some of what they’ve learned—their personal insights, expressed as sword techniques or in other forms. Many of our people only enter the land of inheritance after reaching the World Realm, so the insights they’ve left behind should be of some help to you, Young Master Li Yang.”

”Oh?”

Hearing Elder Lie Shu’s words, Li Yang’s eyes lit up.

Every genius who entered the land of inheritance would gain new insights, and during their period of digestion afterward, they would casually leave some of those insights behind.

The insights of a single person might not amount to much, but the Star Moon Race has existed for countless years. The accumulated insights from generation after generation of geniuses would be of immense benefit to him!

After all, they had all entered the very same land of inheritance.

It was similar to Yuan Wu, who had constantly created his own attacks during his training, leaving his insights behind in the process.

Those attacks, which fused the three laws of space, the Fire Element, and lightning, had been a huge source of inspiration for Li Yang, who was also comprehending those same three laws.

”I wonder, is Young Master Li Yang interested?” Elder Lie Shu finished, looking at Li Yang with a smile. ”If you are, I will immediately request that the clan open that place for you.”

The Star Moon Race wouldn’t bother with an ordinary genius from the Human Race. Such a person might stay in the land of inheritance for a year and then leave, and the clan certainly wouldn’t offer them any greater benefits.

But Li Yang was clearly different.

Li Yang had illuminated their Star Moon Stele with a purple light. In all the endless ages, only two geniuses from their own clan—a people naturally attuned to the stele—had ever accomplished such a feat.

Li Yang was the first human ever to do so.

With this kind of potential, Li Yang could likely master the four laws of space, time, lightning, and the Fire Element in a very short time. The possibility of him becoming an Emperor in the future was also very high!

With such immense potential, the Star Moon Race naturally had to take him seriously.

Some of the Star Moon Race’s upper echelons might be a little displeased that Li Yang had used his sword to gain so many benefits from their clan. However, it was precisely because he’d obtained those benefits that his path to power would be much smoother.

In the future, Li Yang would become a powerhouse, and quickly.

Trying to befriend him after he becomes a true powerhouse would be of little use. A worthwhile connection could only be forged by providing him with sufficient benefits while he was still relatively weak.

Providing aid in a time of need was worth far more than adding to an already-existing success.

And right now, in the eyes of the Star Moon Race, Li Yang clearly had the potential to become such a powerhouse. Naturally, they wanted to get on his good side.

Thus, Elder Lie Shu was now personally inviting Li Yang to enter this place filled with the insights of their ancestors.

This was a place only the top geniuses of the Star Moon Race could enter. They had never before invited a member of the Human Race.

Hearing Elder Lie Shu’s offer, Li Yang smiled. ”Then I must thank you for the invitation, Elder Lie Shu. Of course, I’m interested.”

He definitely wanted to see this place of secluded cultivation for himself.

”Haha, Li Yang, come with me.” Unsurprised by Li Yang’s decision, Elder Lie Shu’s face was wreathed in smiles as he led him toward another area.

As the three of them departed, the waiting werewolf assassin frowned.

’What’s going on? Why isn’t Li Yang heading for the exit? What is he doing going deeper into the Star Moon Race’s territory?’

He watched as Li Yang left the Star Moon Race’s treasury, but instead of departing, the man headed even deeper into their territory.

His heart sank. The three-year inheritance was over, and Li Yang had finished his business at the treasury. Why was he still lingering in the Star Moon Race’s domain?
