Luo Feng rode the Tomb-Ship, entered the inner domain of the Cosmic Ark, and passed through one terrifying danger zone after another. Although he was not afraid of the journey, he remained cautious and concealed himself throughout, hoping to catch the experts from the Purple Moon Holy Land off guard. Once he spotted one, he would mercilessly capture them using the Star Tower. It would be a great blow to the Purple Moon Holy Land while also obtaining some treasures—how excellent!
However, even after nearly 900 years of travel, he had not encountered a single expert from the Purple Moon Holy Land by the time he reached the green artifact chamber area.
“The Purple Moon Holy Land must be extremely cautious and vigilant,” Luo Feng muttered.
“Along such a long journey, I haven’t spotted even one. It seems that all the Cosmic Sovereigns within the Cosmic Ark are hiding carefully,” Luo Feng sighed. The Cosmic Ark was incredibly vast, and even though he had been moving at high speed and inspecting thoroughly, if an opponent were to travel openly, he might have noticed them. But if they remained hidden, he would have no way of detecting them.
Looking ahead into the endless space, the green artifact chamber area lay directly in front of him.
“Boom!”
The dark-colored small ship flew forward at high speed.
It was thanks to the Tomb-Ship that he had been able to reach this place in nearly 900 years. After all, it could forcefully charge through many dangerous areas. Even though other top-tier treasures might be able to resist some dangers, they would still be thrown off course by terrifying environments. However, the Tomb-Ship remained steady. Relying on this ability, Luo Feng had deliberately searched areas where treasures were emerging and had obtained one ordinary peak treasure, two top-tier treasures, and one high-tier treasure.
When discussing with Luo Feng, the Chaos Lord had once said, “The Tomb-Ship is immovable. It can resist ninety percent of the dangers in the three forbidden lands. Perhaps only in the core regions would it encounter obstacles that could halt its progress. Relying solely on the Tomb-Ship to gather treasures would likely be more efficient than any other expert.”
“Riding the Tomb-Ship and wandering through the three forbidden lands, gathering countless treasures, would truly be a delightful endeavor,” Luo Feng thought as he looked at the floating structures on the massive leaves in the distance while inside the Tomb-Ship. “Once I obtain the treasures left behind by Jiefan, I shall wander through the three forbidden lands.”
Wandering through the three forbidden lands would only require a tiny fraction of his consciousness.
His main focus remained on cultivation.
After spending two days,
Luo Feng finally located his “green artifact chamber.”
“This is the one.” The dark green small ship decelerated, slowly descending to land on the massive leaf. The cabin door opened, and Luo Feng stepped out, looking up at the ancient structure on the leaf.
“The black artifact chamber, the green artifact chamber, none of them have much aesthetic appeal,” Luo Feng muttered. He waved his hand, recalling the Tomb-Ship, and then walked directly toward the ancient building. As his body made contact with it, it was as if he had touched water, and he passed straight through into the internal space of the chamber.
…
Luo Feng appeared in midair. Looking around, he saw nine massive, blazing fireballs in the void, each one hundreds or even thousands of times larger than a normal star.
The nine fireballs hung in the void, orbiting each other.
At the center of their orbit was a floating landmass.
“Hmm?” Standing in the void, Luo Feng willed his ten wings to unfold behind him, and a hazy golden light spread outward, instantly covering the entire independent space. In an instant, he had complete control over the space. The sight startled him.
With a single step, he teleported directly to the floating land.
The land was vast and boundless.
Standing on the sandy desert, Luo Feng looked up at the sky. The light from the nine blazing fireballs surrounding the sky wove together, forming a painting. On the painting were fire snakes forming words. The words were densely packed. Although they were not a language Luo Feng recognized, each character carried a fluctuation that conveyed information, allowing Luo Feng to understand them effortlessly.
“I, Jiefan,
am a special lifeform. I became immortal naturally through the Water Law, and through cultivation, I eventually became the strongest being in the cosmos. After becoming the strongest being in the cosmos, one day, while living peacefully on a life-bearing planet, I suddenly felt that all life on the planet required water to survive. Water is the source of life. However, the entire planet relied on the heat of the stars to draw energy, allowing all things to grow.
The Water Law and the Fire Law are not as simple as the laws we cultivate.
They are not merely two laws; water and fire are both connected to the source of life, the source of all things, and the source of reproduction. Therefore, I created my own school and a new ultimate technique—the ‘Essence of Water and Fire.’ I traveled across the Primordial Universe, and after its destruction, I observed the Cosmic Sea and comprehended the two cycles of reincarnation. My ‘Essence of Water and Fire’ became increasingly refined. I believe that given enough time, I would surely reach a higher level and transcend the cycle of reincarnation. However, time was not on my side. Although I reached the peak of the tenth stage, I still had no certainty of transcending the cycle. However, ‘Essence of Water and Fire’ was the culmination of my efforts over three cycles of reincarnation. I could not bear for it to vanish. I hope future generations will carry on my insights and inheritance.”
The nine fireballs floating in the void are unique treasures from the Qingfeng Realm of the Cosmic Sea—nine “ice crystals” that I transformed using my “Essence of Water and Fire” technique into fireballs, representing the pinnacle of my capabilities. These nine fireballs have formed an independent, self-contained system, with their power completely contained without any external leakage.
“Beneath this land lies a peak palace treasure.”
“This palace contains all the treasures I have left behind, as well as the complete inheritance of my ultimate techniques, from the most basic to the most advanced. I sincerely hope that future generations will not allow my efforts and inheritance to vanish.”
The scroll in the high sky, its fire snake-formed characters transmitting their message, made Luo Feng inhale sharply.
Tenth-stage peak?
“Essence of Water and Fire”?
“Indeed, in every era, there are extraordinary figures who emerge,” Luo Feng marveled. “Jiefan has reached the tenth-stage peak, matching the former Origin Ancestor. He was undoubtedly one of the most powerful beings of his time. No wonder he was so concerned about his inheritance. It seems that his ‘Essence of Water and Fire’ was an ultimate technique he was immensely proud of, so he did not want his efforts to vanish and his inheritance to be lost.”
Of course, in terms of strength and talent, Jiefan was inferior to the Origin Ancestor.
After all, the Origin Ancestor had already reached the tenth-stage peak during the Primordial Cycle Era before being sealed away. Jiefan, however, had taken three full cycles of reincarnation to reach the same level.
But…
In the current Cosmic Sea, aside from the Origin Ancestor and the two founders of the Holy Lands, the strongest beings were only at the ninth-stage peak. From this, one could see Jiefan’s brilliance.
“Essence of Water and Fire,” the source of life? The source of all things? The source of reproduction?” Luo Feng felt a deep resonance. In the past, when cultivating the Laws, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were all independent and fundamental Laws. He had never considered that these seemingly simple Laws could also contain the mysteries of the source of life.
If the ultimate techniques created were ordinary, then even if they were lost, it would not matter much.
But techniques like the ‘Essence of Water and Fire,’ which surpassed even the strongest experts, were truly worth being proud of.
“Such a brilliant figure,” Luo Feng sighed. “Yet he still passed away without breaking through the cycle. Breaking through the cycle—how difficult it must be.”
“Seal!”
With a wave of his hand, the Star Tower flew up. Guided by Luo Feng’s divine power, the nine massive fireballs in the sky were quickly sealed into the tower.
“Rise!” Luo Feng turned to the land beside him.
Boom! The ground split apart, and a palace emerged from beneath the earth. Sand and stones scattered to the sides, revealing the palace.
Luo Feng extended a thread of his divine power, quickly claiming the palace treasure.
“The treasures inside,” Luo Feng thought. Once he had claimed this peak palace treasure, he quickly became aware of the vast number of treasures within. After organizing and categorizing them, he finally understood the full extent of Jiefan’s legacy. This revelation shocked him.
Although there were no top-tier treasures among them, the haul was far greater than what he had obtained after killing the Thunder Star Lord (including the spoils from raiding the small universe).
There were a total of 32 peak palace-level domain treasures.
There were 91 ordinary peak-tier treasures (including top-tier domain treasures).
There were very few ordinary top-tier, high-tier, and ordinary treasures, totaling only over a hundred. Perhaps Jiefan had not cared for or valued them.
As for the vast quantities of precious items, materials for forging treasures, items for restoring the divine body, and items for enhancing the genetic potential of life… they were equally abundant.
“Without counting the top-tier treasures, this is already more wealth than all of humanity combined,” Luo Feng marveled.
Actually, this was normal.
The wealth of a race was mainly created by the strongest beings. Lone experts, like Jiefan in his time or current experts like Mountain Master and Shihua Island Lord, were all solitary figures who did not have to worry about their race. They collected treasures casually, yet their treasures were no less than those possessed by an entire race!
Jiefan had been a tenth-stage peak combatant, and in his time, he had swept across the entire Cosmic Sea.
However, he had been deeply engrossed in the ‘Essence of Water and Fire,’ without much ambition. Otherwise, if he had been fully focused on plundering, his treasures would have been even more numerous.
Having collected treasures over three cycles of reincarnation, it was natural for him to have amassed so much.
“So many treasures.
I can finally repair the last scar on the white wing of my Murderous Wu Wings,” Luo Feng thought joyfully. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a spherical crystal the size of a fist appeared in his palm. Inside this crystal was stored a vast amount of information—the ‘Essence of Water and Fire,’ Jiefan’s greatest pride.
“Let’s see how the ‘Essence of Water and Fire’ fares,” Luo Feng thought as he began to immerse himself in it.
As he read, he was filled with delight.
The subtlety of the ‘Essence of Water and Fire’ was so profound that it could even be considered part of the core inheritance of the Dondong River lineage. However, Jiefan had only just begun to develop the basics of this ultimate technique. Even though the foundation was just being laid, its brilliance and wonder were already evident.
“According to the description of the ‘Essence of Water and Fire’ technique,” Luo Feng mused, “when one reaches the pinnacle, with a mere thought, using the Essence of Water and Fire as the core, one can instantly generate a true universe.”
“In battle, a real small universe can instantly form around one’s body. With the enemy inside this small universe, how could they possibly survive?”
