Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

In the palace of the Kunlun Mountain Range.

”This time, has a prodigy appeared in the Golden Secret Realm Trial?” The Guiding Envoy blinked, his weathered face showing a hint of emotion.

The entire Golden Secret Realm Trial is monitored by the Yin Yang Envoys, and even he, the Guiding Envoy, is not authorized to view the data—such are the rules set by the Mystic Realm Sect. The Yin Strategy Envoy set down his golden vase, looked up and said with a smile, ”Guiding Envoy, the spiritual energy of this planet has been absent for over a thousand years, just now recovering. During this time, there has been no trial assessment on this planet, so it’s not a problem to share a bit of information with you. After all, we are all working for the sect.”

The Guiding Envoy smiled softly and bowed to the Yin Strategy Envoy.

Though it’s said that the Guiding Envoy is responsible for selecting disciples from a planet, in reality, it’s a position more like an exile to the outskirts, with no means of continuing cultivation within the Mystic Realm Sect headquarters. Frankly speaking, the Guiding Envoy might grow old and die on this planet, never having the opportunity to enter the headquarters.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as a Guiding Envoy from a planet befriending a genius there. Once the genius enters the Mystic Realm Sect and gains certain status, they might assist the Guiding Envoy in leaving the frontier planet and returning to the sect headquarters.

The Yang Strategist and Yin Strategy Envoy exchanged a glance, and then nodded, their hands brushing across the void.

Suddenly, a golden screen appeared in the hall, recording the points of every genius participating in the Golden Secret Realm Trial.

”This... Is it the one from the Six Paths Sacred Sect?”

The Guiding Envoy widened his eyes, staring unblinkingly at the golden screen. The genius ranked first was Lord Tao from the Six Paths Sacred Sect, with total points exceeding ten million.

”Yes, Lord Tao of the Six Paths Sacred Sect is exceptional, capable of being ranked among the prodigies. As for Lin Mo that you mentioned, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, as he only has ten thousand points right now.”

The Yang Strategist frowned; the Golden Secret Realm Trial had been ongoing for seven months, yet Lin Mo still had only the initial ten thousand points, ranking last, having barely hunted any fierce beasts during this time.

”Perhaps he intends to wait for other geniuses to collect mystical orders and then plunder them from others,” the Yin Strategy Envoy said with a smile.

”There are quite a few geniuses, but only Lord Tao can be counted among the prodigies,” the Yang Strategist said, lifting his wine cup good-heartedly and downing the fruit wine within.

With over three hundred geniuses participating in the trial, only one could be deemed a prodigy, clearly indicating the strict selection process of the Mystic Realm Sect.

As the Guiding Envoy was shocked, a white bead suddenly appeared in front of him.

”Oh, someone has come to exchange a treasure. I’ll go and see who wants to make the exchange,” the Guiding Envoy said, bowing slightly, before disappearing from the hall—the treasure exchanges were under his jurisdiction.

A moment later, the Guiding Envoy appeared above an emerald sea island, standing in mid-air, facing a young man in white, who bowed, ”Greetings, Guiding Envoy.”

”So it is Lord Tao from the Six Paths Sacred Sect, no need for formalities,” the Guiding Envoy replied, revealing a gentle smile, his attitude carrying a hint of goodwill.

Lord Tao lightly smiled and said, ”Lord Guide, I’d like to exchange a treasure.”

It’s no wonder the Guiding Envoy’s attitude was favorable—for the prodigy in the mouths of the Yin Yang Envoys, once they join the Mystic Realm Sect, they’re destined for achievements, with status and future accomplishments surpassing those of the Guiding Envoy, thus he dare not act superior to these ’juniors.’

”Is Lord Tao looking to exchange a treasure now? The Golden Secret Realm Trial is only a third complete,” the Guiding Envoy said with a slight frown, somewhat suspicious.

Lord Tao currently holds ten million points, though he falls short if he wants to exchange for the top-tier treasures.

”Yes, I’d like to exchange for one or two treasures first.”

Lord Tao nodded.

”Alright.”

The Guiding Envoy didn’t bother with idle talk, flicked his hand, and listed the top ten treasures released by the Mystic Realm Sect for exchange purposes; except for the first item, all others could be exchanged with points.

The second-ranked Heavenly Net Sword, a Ninth Grade Soul Artifact, worth fifty million top-grade spiritual stones.

Third, the Silver Feather Star Net, Ninth-grade Elixir, worth twenty million top-grade spiritual stones.

Fourth, the Thunderbolt Order, a Soul Device item, worth ten million top-grade spiritual stones.

The Guiding Envoy calmly watches Lord Tao, knowing with Lord Tao’s ten million points, he should choose to exchange for the Thunderbolt Order.

”Guiding Envoy, I want to exchange for Hao Jingeng, five hundred thousand points, right?” Lord Tao looked at the Guiding Envoy, speaking slowly.

”Hmm?”

The Guiding Envoy paused, revealing a puzzled expression—for though Hao Jingeng is worth five hundred points, it ranks ninth among the materials. Though precious, without other materials to create magic artifacts, it’s somewhat worthless, despite being ’expensive,’ thus only ranking ninth.

”Do you really want to exchange for Hao Jingeng?” The Guiding Envoy asked again.

”Yes,” Lord Tao nodded.

”Alright then, Hao Jingeng is yours. I’ll deduct five hundred thousand points, but final rankings at the end of the trial will still be based on total points,” the Guiding Envoy explained.

With that said, he turned his hand, and a black wooden box floated in the palm, slowly drifting to Lord Tao’s side.

”Thank you, Guiding Envoy,” Lord Tao smiled faintly, placing the black wooden box into a space ring.

”Keep up the good work!”

Having spoken, the Guiding Envoy’s figure blurred and vanished from the island.

”Five hundred thousand points exchanged for Hao Jingeng, Lin Mo...” Lord Tao curled his lips into a sly smile and disappeared.

...

A figure standing beside a Black Stele flies into the sky.

That person is Lin Mo, finally having amassed five hundred thousand points to exchange for Hao Jingeng.

Following the method in his mind, Lin Mo directly used his divine thought to connect with the golden scroll in the Divine Sea, summoning the Guiding Envoy.

Moments later, the Guiding Envoy who hasn’t left the Golden Secret Realm suddenly received another exchange message, transforming into a flowing light to appear before Lin Mo.

”So soon?”

Lin Mo hadn’t expected his divine thought to bring the Guiding Envoy before him instantly.

The Guiding Envoy, in white robe, snow-capped and white-haired, exudes an ethereal fairy-like aura.

”Lin Mo, greetings, Guiding Envoy,” Lin Mo bowed.

”Oh, Lin Mo, you also wish to exchange for a treasure?”

The Guiding Envoy smiled seeing the one looking to exchange was Lin Mo. They had some connections, for years ago, when the Master of Qingxuan Sect attempted to kill Lin Mo, he had come to Lin Mo’s aid.

”Yes,” Lin Mo nodded, ”Lord Guide, I want to exchange for the ninth-ranked treasure, Hao Jingeng.”

”Hao Jingeng?” The Guiding Envoy widened his eyes, frowned, and shook his head, ”Hao Jingeng has already been exchanged!” ”What, Hao Jingeng has been exchanged?” Lin Mo was taken aback, tightening his fists, his mind going blank.
