Within the Dongdi universe, a palace complex was built atop a mountain. The entire palace complex was divided into nine sections. If viewed from above, it resembled a gigantic bizarre beast. The entire palace exuded endless malevolent aura. This was where Bei Zhen Xingzhu resided, and it was filled with numerous immortal servants and some disciples seeking instruction.
Main Hall.
Bei Zhen Xingzhu’s avatar was seated high on the throne, his eyelids drooping as he continuously expounded the Dao of laws. Hundreds of Cosmic Sovereigns sat in the hall, each one dared not to be distracted for even a moment, listening attentively…
“Hmm?”
The Cosmic Sovereigns seated below were startled to find Bei Zhen Xingzhu had suddenly stopped speaking. They couldn’t help but look up in confusion.
“This will suffice for today. You may all withdraw,” Bei Zhen Xingzhu suddenly ordered.
Although they were somewhat bewildered, they respectfully replied, “Yes, Master,” and left the hall together, leaving Bei Zhen Xingzhu alone on the throne.
“Ancestor,” Bei Zhen Xingzhu respectfully called out.
“Command ten Cosmic Sovereigns to wait in the Yan Bing region. Have you located the Galaxy Lord Luo Feng yet?” A faintly glowing figure materialized—it was the Dongdi Ancestor. The space within the hall shifted, rendering the interior invisible to those outside.
The Dongdi Ancestor’s voice thundered, echoing within the hall.
Bei Zhen Xingzhu bowed respectfully and said, “Report, Ancestor, since the inheritance ended and my clan’s Bi Xue Zunzhe and others failed one after another, I have been monitoring the Yan Bing region as per your command, never showing the slightest negligence. All routes from the tomb barge in every direction are constantly under surveillance by Cosmic Sovereigns. No matter how powerful Luo Feng is, he cannot leave unnoticed. However, for such a long time, we indeed haven’t found Luo Feng! It seems he hasn’t emerged from the tomb barge yet.”
“Do not be careless,” the Dongdi Ancestor said indifferently. “Perhaps another Cosmic Sovereign took him along when escaping.”
“I have considered all possibilities thoroughly,” Bei Zhen Xingzhu swiftly responded. “Concealing oneself within another powerful individual’s personal world ring and then making a covert escape is indeed a feasible scenario. However, since our investigation commenced, anyone attempting to approach the vicinity of the tomb barge from other regions has been intercepted by us. To date, we have blocked 39 Cosmic Sovereigns and two Cosmic Supreme Beings! Confronted by our overwhelming force, no one has dared to attempt a forceful breach.”
“No one can enter! Naturally, no one can take Luo Feng away,” Bei Zhen Xingzhu respectfully stated.
“Hmm,” the Dongdi Ancestor nodded in satisfaction. “This Luo Feng must be captured! The inheritance of the Dandong River lineage he obtained is extremely important! Capture him… at all costs!”
“Yes,” Bei Zhen Xingzhu respectfully replied.
The Dongdi Ancestor nodded indifferently.
To the Dongdi Holy Land, even the deaths of hundreds of Cosmic Sovereigns were nothing. Because the Dongdi Holy Land’s universe had a limited capacity for Cosmic Sovereigns, and it had existed for a very long time, it had accumulated a large number of ‘Quasi-Cosmic Sovereigns.’ Bi Xue Zunzhe was a Quasi-Cosmic Sovereign. Once other Cosmic Sovereigns perished, a batch of Quasi-Cosmic Sovereigns would quickly break through!
The Dongdi Ancestor, towering above all others, clearly comprehended the significance of the Duan Donghe inheritance. Even acquiring a small fraction of it would yield immeasurable benefits.
…
Deep within the inner domain of the Cosmic Barge, in the vast Yan Bing region, there were no powerful beings near the tomb barge.
Bei Zhen Xingzhu and ten Cosmic Sovereigns were hidden and dispersed, each monitoring their respective areas.
“The Ancestor just contacted me,” Bei Zhen Xingzhu transmitted through a communication token.
“Again?”
“During our watch here, the Ancestor has contacted Bei Zhen three times already. It seems the Ancestor really values this matter. I’ve grown up to now without ever seeing the Ancestor value anything this much.”
“How can he not value it? Look at us ten—we’re definitely among the top 20 Cosmic Sovereigns in the Dongdi Holy Land. Originally, three of us had Supreme Treasures, but now? The Ancestor specially took out seven Supreme Treasures from the clan’s long accumulation over countless years and gave them to us. Bei Zhen Xingzhu… with all ten of us having Supreme Treasures! Across the Cosmic Sea, perhaps only the Purple Moon Holy Land and us can do that. Even the Purple Moon Holy Land would have to exert great effort to gather so many Supreme Treasures. Even for our clan… it’s a huge burden.”
“Hmm.”
“With Supreme Treasures in hand, we fear even Cosmic Supreme Beings. For just a Luo Feng? Besides, Bei Zhen Xingzhu can break through the constraints of the laws in an instant and quickly catch up to him. Bei Zhen is the main force this time.”
…
These Cosmic Sovereigns held very high status. Even when conversing with Bei Zhen Xingzhu and a few other Cosmic Supreme Beings, they were generally treated as equals. They were the true elite of the Dongdi Holy Land, yet they were now stationed here to capture Luo Feng.
This showed how determined the Dongdi Ancestor was!
…
Inside the inheritance space of the tomb barge, within the cultivation area.
“The path of cultivation is so long!”
“The supreme techniques created by the three generations of ancestors are even more profound and difficult. I can’t stay here forever,” Luo Feng opened his eyes as he sat cross-legged on the grass, slightly frowning. “Moreover, I still need to create sword techniques… I now clearly feel that my laws are too weak.”
The laws were his weakness.
Because he had to submit to the white wings, the ‘Golden Sky Beast God Dao’ had always been stuck just before reaching the seventh stage of perfection, halting there, and he dared not continue cultivating. Because he hadn’t truly perfected the Golden Sky Laws, there was always a knot when researching secret techniques, causing significant hindrance. As his research deepened, this hindrance became increasingly apparent.
“I must leave as soon as possible.”
“I must obtain the white wings first and then immediately cultivate the Golden Sky Dao… and first breakthrough to the Cosmic Sovereign,” Luo Feng thought inwardly.
Breaking through to a Cosmic Sovereign would transform his divine power.
Divine power represented his body! It also represented his soul! As his soul and consciousness strengthened, it would aid his cultivation.
Moreover, after perfecting the laws, researching secret techniques would be easier. And he also planned… to comprehend the ten fundamental laws: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, Time, and Space!
His goals were lofty and his plans grand. He needed to progress quickly, so obtaining the white wings and breaking through to a Cosmic Sovereign was the priority.
“As for the tomb barge and the inheritance space? Take everything with me.”
“When I return to the Original Universe, I will place the tomb barge and the inheritance space within my Divine Kingdom. That’s the safest place. With my current combat power, my Earthling body alone can display top-tier fifth-stage power. As for the Infinite Abyssal Sea… even if I crazily burn my divine power using ‘Duanmie,’ the Infinite Abyssal Sea is endless, so this burning is nothing. Even a Cosmic Supreme Being… can be defeated.”
Luo Feng was confident.
Jiuyou Zuzhu was a Cosmic Sovereign who, with the Jiuyou Sea, was unafraid of a Cosmic Supreme Being.
Although Luo Feng’s divine power was slightly inferior, his sword techniques had just entered the Cosmic Supreme Being level! This fully compensated for the gap in divine power… and with ‘Duanmie’ allowing extraordinary bursts of power! He could even be more troublesome. Of course, the Infinite Abyssal Sea was the only one that was powerful…
After all, Luo Feng’s Earthling body and the Jinguju beast avatar, if using ‘Duanmie,’ would consume his divine body too quickly, so he wouldn’t easily use it.
…
Inheritance Space.
Luo Feng took a step forward, passing through the spatial gate and arriving at the ‘Treasure Space’ among the many realms within the inheritance space.
“Treasures!” Luo Feng looked up. The surroundings were all void, and in front of him stood a majestic treasure mountain. On the entire mountain peak, countless brilliant rays of light shot into the sky, each exuding boundless might. Each beam of light was so powerful that Luo Feng’s heart trembled.
It was as if—
Hundreds of Cosmic Supreme Beings were self-destructing, an overwhelming might.
“A total of 322 treasures,” Luo Feng held his breath. “Accumulated over countless generations of the Duan Dong River lineage, these 322 treasures were finally gathered. Unfortunately, I can only take one, and while I am alive, I must also return one.”
This was the rule.
Each generation of the Duan Dong River lineage followed this practice. Typically, they would take one. If their strength was formidable and their accomplishments significant, they might even return two or three, thereby contributing to the Duan Dong River lineage. All of these actions were automatically recorded on the stone tablets at the treasure mountain.
These treasures… had a special name in the ancient civilization—Yuan Embryo!
“Yuan” held the highest reverence in the ancient civilization. Any treasure bearing this word was top-tier.
“Embryo” meant embryo.
For a powerhouse, different treasures were required at different stages. For instance, presenting an immortal with a Supreme Treasure would be futile, as they wouldn’t even be able to wield it. Thus, no single fully formed treasure could serve a powerhouse throughout their entire lifetime.
Hence, the concept of “Yuan Embryo” emerged.
A Yuan Embryo was a special treasure not yet fully formed… even an immortal could begin using it! And one could integrate their own cultivated secret techniques into it, adding secret patterns to the treasure… For example, the Star Tower had multiple secret patterns, while a Yuan Embryo had none, completely empty, yet its inherent power was already extremely strong.
The user could continuously infuse secret patterns into it, just like forging a Supreme Treasure, easily infusing secret patterns onto the Yuan Embryo!
For example, Luo Feng had previously created three sword techniques: “Mist Light Void,” “Golden Universe,” and “Nirvana Rebirth.” Among them, “Nirvana Rebirth” had already reached the Cosmic Supreme Being level. Even Luo Feng had to concentrate all his mind to instantly draw out the incredibly vast secret patterns to unleash this move.
But once these secret patterns were integrated into the Yuan Embryo.
Then, it would only need to be activated! One could even control other Supreme Treasures while doing so, and with the Yuan Embryo’s inherent power, “Nirvana Rebirth” could display even greater strength.
This was the Yuan Embryo…
It could keep growing! As one’s strength increased, more important secret techniques could be integrated! Even a Yuan Embryo could accompany a powerhouse all the way to the peak of the entire ancient civilization, at which point the Yuan Embryo would have grown into the most terrifying treasure in the entire ancient civilization.
“I can only choose one!”
“What should I choose?”
“A sword embryo?” Luo Feng looked at the treasure mountain, really wanting to take several.
