From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

Li Yang checked the price of the Law Key—50,000 contribution points. That was even more than a complete set of the Hexagram Spear Cultivation Technique, equivalent to five pieces of Fire Nether Divine Beast skin. In terms of price, that would be roughly five quintillion Galaxy Coins. Only a World Lord could probably afford such a sum!

Forcibly breaking through from the Peak of Spirit Awakening Realm to the Law Realm—two very low realms—required resources that only a World Lord could afford. The sheer amount was staggering!

’Fifty thousand contribution points. I need to exchange for four, which comes to two hundred thousand points. I have more than enough!’

Li Yang’s eyes were filled with joy.

Without hesitation, he chose to make the exchange.

Seeing the transaction succeed, Li Yang was even more overjoyed.

’With these, even if Mom and Dad, Zhou Yao, and my sister can’t break through to the Law Realm on their own, they can still be forced through!’ Li Yang felt a sense of relief.

Although someone in the Spirit Awakening Realm was countless times stronger than an ordinary person, their lifespan didn’t change much. They could only live a little over a hundred years.

When their time was up, they would still die.

But once they broke through to the Law Realm, their lifespan would increase dramatically. Living for over five hundred years would be no problem at all.

Li Yang didn’t want to cultivate for decades only to find his parents, wife, and others had grown old.

So, he had to get these Law Keys.

As he cultivated and grew stronger, he didn’t want to walk the path alone, watching the people around him leave one by one.

After the successful transaction, Li Yang thought for a moment and searched for something that could help someone forcibly break through to the Longevity Realm.

The Law Realm granted a lifespan of several hundred years, but the Longevity Realm allowed one to easily live for ten thousand years.

However, Li Yang couldn’t find anything, so he asked Lu Kaluo.

Lu Kaluo smiled and said, ”Li Yang, it is possible to forcibly break through to the Longevity Realm, but the resources required are unimaginable. Even a cultivator at the Peak of World Realm might go bankrupt and still not be able to afford it. Its value is over five hundred million contribution points!”

’Five hundred million contribution points.’

Li Yang was startled to hear this.

Forcibly breaking through to the Law Realm cost fifty thousand contribution points.

But forcibly breaking through to the Longevity Realm cost five hundred million contribution points!

The required resources had skyrocketed by ten thousand times!

The one million contribution points Yangyuan Emperor had given him was just pocket change in comparison; he couldn’t afford it at all.

In his mind, Soul Ink’s voice sounded: ’Li Yang, the path of cultivation is one you must walk yourself. To rely on external help for something like this is to defy fate and change your own destiny. For example, jumping directly from the Law Realm to the Longevity Realm increases one’s lifespan from a few hundred years to ten thousand years.’

’Forcibly breaking through to the Longevity Realm is equivalent to adding nearly ten thousand years to one’s life! The cost is naturally unimaginable! I suspect only Deities have the power to procure such a resource.’

”I know,” Li Yang said helplessly.

Right now, he could only redeem resources for his family to forcibly break through to the Law Realm. As for forcibly breaking through to the Longevity Realm, for him... it was practically impossible at the moment.

’I’ll take it one step at a time. I’ve only been cultivating for such a short while. In a few hundred years, I’ll have broken through to the World Realm myself. There will definitely be a way.’ Li Yang took a deep breath, steeling his resolve.

It takes creatures like the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and the Thunder Star Beast a few hundred years to mature. Even if Li Yang didn’t put in any effort, he could easily break through to the World Realm in a few hundred years.

Five hundred million contribution points was an astronomical price for him now, but after he grew stronger, it might not seem like much.

’Onward!’

With the four Law Keys acquired, Li Yang still had over seven hundred thousand contribution points left. He continued his search.

”Mechanical lifeform with the strength of an Early Stage Star Lord Realm cultivator. Contribution points required: 500,000.”

When he saw this information, Li Yang’s eyes lit up again.

According to the description, this mechanical lifeform had a control center. As long as one left an imprint on it, the Early Stage Star Lord Realm machine would obey all commands.

Seeing this, Li Yang immediately thought of Earth.

’Earth’s strength is still incredibly weak. If it had this Early Stage Star Lord Realm mechanical lifeform...’ Li Yang couldn’t help but think.

Although Earth had produced a genius like him, its overall strength was still incredibly weak.

Across the entire planet, besides him and Shen Xuan, there wasn’t a third person in the Law Realm.

Such strength was at the very bottom among the hundreds of thousands of planets in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Soon, Li Yang would be entering the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall. He didn’t know how long it would be before he could return to Earth, and with the planet being so weak, he couldn’t possibly rest easy.

But with this Early Stage Star Lord Realm mechanical being, Earth’s strength would undoubtedly skyrocket!

A Star Lord Realm expert could cover the entire planet with their consciousness in a single thought. A single attack could even destroy Earth. One could only imagine their power!

’I was always worried about Earth being too weak, and that my parents... their safety wasn’t guaranteed. Now, I don’t have to worry anymore.’ Li Yang rejoiced inwardly.

A Star Lord could cover the entire planet with a single thought. With a Star Lord protecting it, he really didn’t have to worry so much about his family’s safety.

However, looking at the price of five hundred thousand, it was very expensive—fifty times the cost of the entire Hexagram Spear set.

In reality, the Hexagram Spear was very valuable, but things like secret manuals could be endlessly copied, so their prices were relatively low.

But this Star Lord Realm mechanical lifeform was clearly one-of-a-kind and couldn’t be replicated. Thus, its high price was understandable.

”Exchange!” Li Yang continued with his purchases.

After exchanging for the Law Keys, Li Yang also redeemed the Early Stage Star Lord Realm mechanical lifeform.

He wasn’t short on Cultivation Techniques right now. Ensuring Earth’s safety made spending these contribution points completely worth it.

Soul Ink watched as Li Yang redeemed the Star Lord Realm mechanical lifeform, which seemed useless in its opinion. It wanted to speak up, but after some thought, it ultimately said nothing.

Li Yang hadn’t used these contribution points on himself; almost all of them were spent on his family and Earth.

’The Hexagram Spear for ten thousand contribution points, the Fire Nether Divine Beast skin fragment for ten thousand, four Law Keys for two hundred thousand, and the Early Stage Star Lord Realm mechanical lifeform for five hundred thousand... I still have over two hundred thousand left.’

Li Yang began to redeem all sorts of other things, mainly various resources, Spirit Fruit and Medicinal Herbs, and so on.

For example, the Saint Heart Fruit. No matter how severe a Law Realm Cultivator’s injuries were, swallowing one would lead to instant recovery. It was a true life-saving treasure.

Li Yang was preparing to break through to the Longevity Realm as soon as possible, so the resources he needed were naturally related to the Longevity Realm.

For example, the Divine Heart Fruit. No matter how grievous a Longevity Realm Cultivator’s injuries, swallowing one would lead to instant recovery.

Li Yang directly exchanged for twenty of them!

Besides these, there were various other treasures!

These, Li Yang was clearly redeeming for himself.

His contribution points dwindled, but Li Yang kept searching for things he needed.

Finally, he had spent all one million of his contribution points, and in return, he had acquired numerous, incredibly precious treasures.

”Lu Kaluo, I’m preparing to return to Earth.”

Looking at Lu Kaluo, Li Yang said directly.

”Alright, Li Yang.” Lu Kaluo nodded with a smile.

Carrying his many resources, Li Yang began his journey back!
