Chapter 151

Chapter 151: You Are… Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon?

“I have this ‘Xuan Yun Ghost Sand’. Just the right amount…”

“‘True Fire Dragon Dew’ too, no problem with the quantity…”

“‘Soul-Severing Immortal Jade’… wait, it seems like it was also included in the gifted rare materials…”

“And this one too…”

Su Xiaobai checked the forging list for high-grade divine weapons, searching one by one through his spatial ring.

In the end, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that the materials he had on hand were just enough to forge a high-grade divine weapon!

“System, forge a high-grade divine weapon for me!”

Excited beyond measure, Su Xiaobai immediately chose a longsword.

“Placing required materials…”

“Placement successful!”

“Forging in progress…”

As the divine weapon’s spirit embryo and the rest of the forging materials were fully absorbed by the forging furnace, a rainbow-colored progress bar appeared, and Su Xiaobai couldn’t help but break into a joyful smile.

Originally, he thought being able to forge even a low-grade divine weapon would already be quite an achievement.

After all, even as the #1 on the Martial Commander Gold Ranking, he hadn’t received any divine weapon as a reward—proving just how rare and precious divine weapons were in Base No. 1…

Who would have thought he could directly forge a high-grade divine weapon?!

The very thought of owning a true divine weapon made Su Xiaobai burst into laughter.

Five minutes later—

“Ding! Forging complete. You have obtained ‘Oblivion Breaker’!”

Along with the system notification, a blade emerged—entirely black, flowing with silver light, its body engraved with a Tai Chi symbol and its hilt adorned with intricate, scale-like patterns. It radiated a strong, unyielding, domineering aura.

Even just looking at it, one could feel the terrifying power contained within the blade!

“Oblivion Breaker… What a name!”

Su Xiaobai laughed heartily, flipping his hand and summoning Oblivion Breaker, gripping it firmly.

“So heavy!”

His first impression of Oblivion Breaker—heavy.

Even now, he was someone capable of slaying sub-King-level enemies, already nearing the Martial King threshold. His strength was beyond ordinary… yet this blade still felt burdensome to him.

Which only proved that Oblivion Breaker’s weight was abnormally extreme.

However, once Su Xiaobai channeled spiritual energy into it, that weighty sensation disappeared.

In its place surged a sharp, focused explosive force!

As if a casual swing could slice apart mountains and rivers—overflowing with domineering presence!

“Its current explosive power is already on par with my +7 enhanced ‘Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon’!”

In other words—

A top-tier spirit weapon, enhanced to +7, could rival a high-grade divine weapon in terms of power!

No wonder Cheng Tianqian had lost so miserably…

Because the ‘Blacklight Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon’ Su Xiaobai wielded wasn’t a spirit weapon at all—it was a high-grade divine weapon!

“But… the difficulty of enhancing divine weapons is also ridiculously high!”

Su Xiaobai tried to enhance it.

The moment he saw the list of required materials, he quietly closed the interface.

The materials were numerous and absurdly rare… With his current wealth, there was no way he could afford it!

“Guess I’ll deal with upgrading the divine weapon after the Virtual Network event…”

…

The Next Day—

After a well-rested night, Su Xiaobai set off toward the central tower of the Virtual Network.

The Virtual Network Center Building was located over a thousand kilometers away.

Along the way, he passed through bustling cities, rural fields, mountains, and forests… If he didn’t know how vast Base No. 1 was, he might’ve thought he’d already left the base entirely!

Soon, Su Xiaobai arrived at the city housing the Virtual Network Tower.

“Virtual Network City?”

“Named after the Virtual Network itself—clearly, this city has deep ties with it.”

Su Xiaobai didn’t rush forward. He slowed his pace and activated spatial perception to scan the area in detail.

Just as he expected, the city, intricately linked with the Virtual Network, was home to a massive number of Martial Commanders and Martial Gods.

There were residential zones, commercial zones, and even special zones for cultivation techniques… Cultivators were everywhere—training, practicing, honing their skills. Many stores sold not only technique-related goods and learning scrolls, but even offered personalized instruction in specific cultivation methods!

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the entire city revolved around the word ‘cultivation techniques’.

Holding his hexagonal gold card, Su Xiaobai passed through every checkpoint unimpeded.

Upon entering the Virtual Network Center Building, a guide led him directly to the 108th floor.

When the elevator doors opened—

What greeted him was the sight of 99 Martial Commander-level cultivators.

Every single one of them turned to look at Su Xiaobai.

Among them were Cheng Tianqian, Zhuo Bingyan, and Nangong Yixin.

Their gazes toward Su Xiaobai were complicated.

From the perspective of the weak toward the strong, they felt deep awe.

As rivals on the Martial Commander Gold Ranking, they felt intense jealousy.

And as soon-to-be comrades entering the Virtual Network as fellow humans, they also felt a strong desire to cling to a powerhouse…

“You’re here.”

Meng Qianzheng smiled gently when he saw Su Xiaobai arrive. “Alright, let’s begin.”

“I’m sure you’ve all heard something about the Virtual Network by now. Some of you have even personally entered and experienced it.”

“I’ll keep it brief—The Virtual Network is a virtual world that can only be accessed through spiritual consciousness. Its core isn’t Earth, but a realm connected through an interdimensional rift—the ‘Vast Domain’.”

The Vast Domain?!

Is that the name of the Otherworld?

“The Vast Domain contains the ‘Heavenly Dao’. No one understands how it works, but you can think of it as a vital nexus. The Virtual Network was created by powerhouses of the Vast Domain using the Heavenly Dao as a foundation—to discover a continuous stream of elite geniuses.”

“By some miracle, a legendary expert helped humanity build a bridge to the Vast Domain, enabling us to connect spiritually via Earth-based tech and enter the Virtual Network—achieving full synchronization.”

“Now, please take out your hexagonal gold cards!”

“These cards aren’t just your pass to this building—they are the key to entering the Virtual Network itself!”

As Meng Qianzheng spoke, a wave of helmets flew over and landed precisely in front of each Martial Commander present.

“In a moment, you’ll wear the spiritual consciousness helmets and insert your card into the slot.”

“It won’t activate immediately. We’ll assist you in bypassing the registration process using our current technology.”

Just then, a side door opened to reveal a room full of complex instruments.

Inside were two Martial Gods and numerous Martial Commanders, all busily working.

“The one wearing glasses is Dr. Li, head of the Virtual Network Monitoring Center. He’ll read your names, and you’ll tell him your desired in-game nickname.”

“If you’ve registered already, just give him your in-game name and he’ll lock it in for you.”

“All right, no more chatter. Once you’ve experienced the Virtual Network, we’ll begin the next phase.”

Meng Qianzheng smiled. “Dr. Li, go ahead.”

Dr. Li adjusted his glasses.

He was a top-tier tech expert—

But also a genuine Martial God!

He swept his gaze over the gathered Martial Commander geniuses and shook his head… These so-called prodigies may be the best Earth had to offer—

But in the Virtual Network of the Vast Domain… they were nothing.

The more he learned about the Virtual Network, the more he realized how powerful the Vast Domain was—how insignificant humanity really was.

“All right, let’s begin.”

“First: Cheng Tianqian.”

Dr. Li said calmly.

“I’ve already registered in the Virtual Network—my name is ‘Xuan Tianqian’.”

Cheng Tianqian replied.

“Good. Next: Gu Feihan.”

“I haven’t registered. I’d like the name ‘Wuque Feilei’—it’s the name of my spirit weapon!”

“All right, next…”

Those already registered gave their nicknames.

Those unregistered chose new ones.

The whole process was swift.

Soon—

“Last one: Su Xiaobai.”

Everyone’s gaze instinctively turned toward Su Xiaobai.

“I’ve registered in the Virtual Network. My name is… ‘Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon’.”

Su Xiaobai answered directly.

The moment those words fell—

Dr. Li’s movements abruptly froze.

Beside him, Meng Qianzheng’s pupils constricted violently!

“Y-You’re… Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon?!”
