Cosmic Trading System

"A level eleven cultivator? You're underestimating the mighty ones of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm," said the beautiful woman with a faint smile shaking her head lightly in response to Lin Yun's question.

"How could that be possible?" Lin Yun's body trembled with disbelief.

So, there were cultivators exceeding level eleven?

How could that be possible!

Even amongst super civilizations, level eleven cultivators were extremely rare. They were all influential figures, possessing tremendous power even when traveling alone through space!

If there were cultivators beyond level eleven...

What kind of existence would that be?

A level twelve cultivator?

If a level eleven cultivator didn't have any interaction with other civilizations in the universe, it would be normal for them to be interested in technological items of a technological civilization upon encountering them.

But if there were level twelve cultivators, the likelihood of this would be very slim.

While the space traveling ability of a level twelve cultivator couldn't compare to the super warriors, it was not weak either. It was said to be far superior to that of ordinary battleships, making it highly improbable for them to have no interaction with other civilizations.

If the mighty ones of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm did have interactions with other civilizations, it would be easiest for them to encounter technological civilizations. Given their extraordinary powers, it's unlikely they would care for ordinary technological artifacts.

Although the technological artifacts of the Qingyun Company were not bad, in the context of countless technological civilizations across the universe, they were nothing much. How could they possibly attract the attention of the mighty ones in the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm?

Moreover, if the power of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm was actually so formidable, other civilizations should have known about it. Yet, he had never heard even a trace of it on the Cosmic Trading System.

"Perhaps you're not entirely aware of Earth's status in the universe..." The beautiful woman, looking deeply at Lin Yun, remarked.

"Earth's status in the universe?" Lin Yun echoed, a chill running through his heart.

Could it be that Earth was quite famous in the universe?

"Once upon a time, this star domain was just an ordinary one and Earth was just an average planet, or possibly not so average, but that's how it appeared. Then, thousands of years ago, the first Saint was born, resulting in great fortune and improvement in conditions of the star domain.

Subsequently, more Saints emerged, and the conditions of this star domain continually improved, giving rise to more and more powerful beings..." The beautiful woman narrated leisurely.

"Saints? Powerful beings?" Lin Yun asked puzzled.

"As per the classifications of some civilizations, powerful beings are those who possess powers beyond a level twelve cultivator and Saints... are the ones exceeding even the powerful beings..." The beautiful woman replied, a faint smile on her face.

"This... How can that be possible..."

Lin Yun's heart throbbed violently, his face filled with disbelief.

So, powerful beings were those with power above level twelve cultivators, equal to the super warriors of those super civilizations?

And Saints were those who exceed even the powerful beings?

Heaven be damned!

Was Earth really so strong? So terrifying?

Back then, he had only aspired to become a level eleven or perhaps a level twelve cultivator. As for super warriors, he hadn't even dared to think about it... yet, Earth already had beings even more powerful than that!

How laughable that he once thought he was unmatched on Earth!

He even thought that the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm were just minor parallel spaces, and that no matter how strong they were, they could be at most as good as the countless other parallel spaces in the universe!

Blimey, how ridiculous he was!

Although the revelation was shocking, Lin Yun had a gut feeling that the old woman was not lying.

"With the rise of many Saints, powerful beings proliferated. The Saints and the powerful beings traveled across the universe, and were received with respect by the mighty ones of all great civilizations. No one dared to challenge them. In fact, some came to Earth on pilgrimage, while some sought to become disciples.

Back then, Earth was practically a holy place in the universe..." The beautiful woman gazed at the stars, recounting slowly.

Listening to the old woman's narration, Lin Yun could almost imagine a scene where delegations from all over the universe were coming to pay homage, each consisting of the top warriors of the universe.

Just thinking about this scene was exhilarating.

"Then why now..." Lin Yun began tentatively.

"The power of the Saints exceeded this dimension and they have already departed. The powerful beings who remained have also been following their steps. However, without the Saints maintaining this star domain, the environment would gradually decline. So, the powerful beings acted and the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm arose, aggregating the forces of heaven and earth..." The woman explained.

"I see..." Lin Yun said with a bitter smile.

Now, juxtaposing this information with the legends that have been passed down, he had a better understanding of the situation.

With the birth of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm, Earth quickly returned to being an ordinary planet.

In the beginning, there were still tales of immortals, but with time, such tales became fewer and fewer.

Earth had once been very powerful, and the environment of Earth and its surrounding star domains had been excellent. Could this be the reason why humans on Earth and the resources on Earth and its neighboring star domains were abundant?

"So, does this mean that the mightiest beings of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm are those powerful beings?" Lin Yun ventured to guess after a moment of silence.

"Maybe, or perhaps they have become Saints and moved on, or maybe there are new powerful beings in the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm..." The beautiful female shrugged her shoulders.

"If they are so powerful and they desire any technological item, they can easily acquire one. Why would they seize the technological items of the Qingyun Company, even at the cost of wiping out nearly ten billion humans on Earth? Didn't they originate from Earth? How could they be so ruthless?" Lin Yun asked, his voice filled with agitation.

"I am not quite sure about the happenings in the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm, but I think the powerful ones likely didn't issue this order. It was probably the independent actions of their subordinates. Initially, when the Saints and the powerful ones traveled across the universe, they did not recognize the power of technology, so they didn't develop technological power on Earth.

However, like you said, these powerful ones could easily get any technological item they want, and even superior ones. So, there is no need for them to do this." The old woman shook her head once more.

"These technological items can be very helpful for low-level cultivators. Initially, the Saints and the powerful beings obtained some for their disciples to use. I think that perhaps this is what gave their subordinates the idea, and your Qingyun Company was just an opportunity..." She paused before continuing.

"The subordinates..." Lin Yun gave a bitter laugh.

These "subordinates" covered a very wide range.

The subordinates of the powerful beings could include level twelve cultivators, level eleven cultivators, level ten cultivators. So which level of warriors was it?

"My guess is that it's the level eleven cultivators, at most..." The beautiful woman, understanding Lin Yun's confusion, said.

"Level eleven cultivators?" Lin Yun shook his head.

Even against a level eleven cultivator, he wouldn't stand a chance...

"I suggest that you make some preparations and then leave this place. Return a while later or after your own strength reaches a certain level. I can see that you are a man of ambition.

You know the saying: 'Traveling a thousand miles is better than reading a thousand books.' Just like the Saints and the powerful ones, traveling across the universe for cultivation, it may not be a bad thing for you to travel to other places..." The beautiful woman suggested thoughtfully.

"But what about this place..." Lin Yun frowned.

"Leave Earth to me. I'll protect it. And I will also ensure the safety of your devices," the old woman said with a soft laugh.

"By the way, you mentioned before that you gained your current power from the large amount of spiritual energy you obtained from these devices. Does it mean that if there is enough Spirit Crystals, you can become even more powerful?" Lin Yun asked suddenly, a glint appearing in his eyes.

"Though the pure spiritual energy is indeed very helpful for our spiritual cultivation, it still lacks something from the cultivation perspective. The reason my power has increased significantly is more due to the accumulation over many years," said the woman, shaking her head.

"Then, if the powerful beings from the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm come down, can you..." Lin Yun asked hesitantly after feeling disappointed.

"They wouldn't dare to do anything to me," the beautiful woman said with a faint smile.
