Chapter 221: The Teacher’s Legacy

Inside the octagonal hall.

Luo Feng gazed at the calm, pale, and handsome man dressed in black robes lying peacefully inside a large crystal coffin. This was the master of Yimo Star, a powerful being who roamed the cosmos and had nine immortal servants under his command. Luo Feng had always revered such supreme beings in his heart, and he clearly understood that having a teacher or not would lead to completely different paths.

Moreover…

The black-robed child ‘Babata’ was staring at him. Did he really have a choice?

“How do I become your disciple?” Luo Feng asked Babata.

“Excellent! Your choice is absolutely correct!” Babata raised his head proudly. “Because of your decision, the entire Earth will benefit. With the help of me, the demon Babata, Luo Feng, your name will spread throughout the entire Milky Way Galaxy, even across countless planets in the Heilongshan Star Region. Countless humans will worship and admire you. Your words alone will determine the rise and fall of an entire planetary race. You…”

Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile bitterly and interrupted the excited Babata, “How do I become your disciple?”

“Ah… Normally, when the master accepts a direct disciple, he should invite friends and celebrate grandly. However, since the master is already dead and Yimo Star has been destroyed, we must keep it simple.” Babata looked at the crystal coffin, his voice suddenly becoming somber. “You simply need to kowtow eight times before the master’s remains.”

Luo Feng nodded.

He looked at the master of Yimo Star inside the coffin, who had lived over sixty million years and had been dead for fifty thousand years. And now, he was bowing to this man as his teacher!

“Bang!”

Luo Feng knelt down and solemnly kowtowed eight times.

“From today on, you are the fifth direct disciple of the master, the last direct disciple, and the only living one!” Babata looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng immediately understood…

His teacher, the master of Yimo Star, had lost all of his other direct disciples. What kind of enemy must his teacher have faced that even the entire Yimo Star was destroyed?

“Luo Feng, since the master is dead and cannot personally teach you, I will take his place and teach you,” Babata said, looking at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded.

“Don’t worry. Before the master’s death, he entrusted everything to me. Moreover, I am an artificial lifeform who has always followed the master. I can show you videos of how the master taught his direct disciples back then. So, you don’t need to worry,” Babata said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng felt completely reassured.

“First, I’ll give you a storage space item.” The black-robed Babata tossed something, and a silver light flew toward Luo Feng.

Luo Feng reached out and caught it. When he opened his palm, it was a seemingly ordinary silver ring.

“Storage space items can take many forms—rings, bracelets, and so on,” Babata smiled. “However, crafting a ‘space ring’ is very difficult. It is considered a luxury in the universe. The material of this space ring is unique and can merge into your skin.”

Luo Feng put the ring on his left middle finger.

Silently, like mercury, it flowed and merged into his skin. Luo Feng felt a cool sensation, and then the ring completely disappeared from his finger.

“Just let a bit of your mental energy seep into it, imprinting your spiritual mark into the ring. Only once is needed, and you won’t need to do it again afterward,” Babata explained.

“Spiritual mark?” Luo Feng was puzzled. “How do I do that?”

“Fool!” Babata frowned in annoyance. “Every soul, no matter how strong it becomes, has a unique essence. No two souls are exactly alike. Just channel your mental energy into it! Don’t worry about anything else!”

“Okay.” Luo Feng focused his mind, letting a thread of mental energy quickly flow down his arm and into the ring.

The ring subtly changed, and within moments—

Luo Feng felt as if the ring had become part of his own body, like an extension of his limbs. He could clearly sense everything inside the ring without needing to use his mental energy. Inside was an empty space, quite vast. Based on Luo Feng’s perception, its height was about 100 meters.

“The space inside this ring is a rectangular prism. Using your Earth’s units of measurement, its length is approximately 612 meters, width 521 meters, and height 108 meters. We can ignore the decimals,” Babata said proudly, watching Luo Feng, clearly wanting to see a shocked expression on his face.

“Oh.” Luo Feng simply nodded.

“What? Don’t you realize how difficult it is to carve out a piece of space from the universe and embed it into an object? And such a large space?” Babata was clearly dissatisfied with Luo Feng’s reaction. “If powerful beings in the universe knew about this, your life would be in danger. But as long as you don’t tell anyone, no one will know.”

Luo Feng listened in secret astonishment…

Creating a space ring actually involved carving out a piece of space from the universe? That was insane! No wonder even the arrogant Babata considered crafting a space ring extremely difficult.

“Alright, let’s go up,” Babata said.

“Okay, what about this crystal coffin?” Luo Feng asked, looking at the coffin.

The black-robed child Babata turned to look at the corpse inside the crystal coffin. His expression was complex as he murmured, “Boss, from today on, I’ll follow your disciple. Don’t worry, everything will be taken care of.” His voice was so low that Luo Feng couldn’t even hear clearly. Then Babata pointed at the ground.

“Ka ka ka~~”

The crystal coffin began to slowly descend. In a short while, it sank into the ground, and the surface began to close.

“Let’s go up,” Babata said, now more composed.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Luo Feng followed Babata, flying along the passage directly to the circular hall above.

…

Inside the circular hall, the lights illuminated everything brightly.

Luo Feng looked at the six corpses in front of him, feeling a sense of awe. Out of these six corpses, five were immortals!

“Luo Feng.” Babata pointed at a golden skeleton on the ground. “This is the master’s second direct disciple, one of the most outstanding among his disciples. However, during that battle, the master was being hunted. The enemy’s attack even penetrated the Yimo Star spaceship and affected the interior! The immortals were fine, but he died directly.”

“Penetrated the spaceship and affected the inside?” Luo Feng was greatly shocked.

“What level was my second senior?” Luo Feng quickly asked.

“A World Lord!” Babata replied.

Luo Feng fell silent…

A World Lord was killed by a super immortal’s attack that passed through the spaceship! The enemy’s target was likely the master of Yimo Star himself!

“Oh!”

Suddenly, Luo Feng’s eyes widened as he looked at Babata. “Babata, even cosmic-level warriors can fight on white dwarfs. A World Lord could destroy a planet with a single hand. Yet the enemy’s attack passed through the spaceship and killed him! But the spaceship wasn’t reduced to ashes. What material is this spaceship made of?”

“You’ve finally realized,” Babata said, pointing at the surrounding walls. “Look at the dents on the floor and the walls! Those were caused by immortal battles! Even an immortal can only leave a dent on the ground at most!”

“This Yimo Star spaceship was painstakingly acquired by my master at great cost.”

“As for its price? Selling your entire Earth wouldn’t even cover a fraction of its cost,” Babata said proudly. “Oh, by the way, didn’t you pick up a blood-red fragment before?”

“Ah, yes,” Luo Feng nodded.

The fragment of the weapon was indeed incredibly powerful.

“That fragment was a piece that broke off when the spaceship fell to Earth and sank deep underground!” Babata smiled. “Don’t think it was caused by the impact. Even if it crashed into a neutron star, the spaceship wouldn’t have cracked! In fact, it was the attack from that super powerful enemy that damaged the ship, causing a piece to break off from the edge.”

“At first, the fragment was protected inside the spaceship’s shield. When the spaceship sank deep into the Earth’s crust, the shield shut down, and the fragment finally fell off,” Babata explained.

“A fragment? This fragment is so sharp?” Luo Feng asked quickly.

“I’ll show you the spaceship’s appearance,” Babata said, pointing to the empty space ahead.

Whoosh!

A three-dimensional virtual model suddenly appeared, just like a real but miniaturized spaceship!

It was a blood-red triangular spaceship, but each of its three corners was curved. Moreover, the edges of the spaceship were extremely thin and sharp!

It looked terrifying!

“When the Yimo Star spaceship reaches speed in space, its sharp edges can easily slice through even an asteroid field without slowing down at all,” Babata said proudly. “Using it to cut your battle boots was a waste. The material is so durable that even immortals find it hard to destroy.”

“Oh?” Luo Feng suddenly understood.

So that was just a fragment of the spaceship, not a blade fragment as he had thought.

“But the Yimo Star spaceship was severely damaged. It can’t even take off now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to wait on Earth for 50,000 years,” Babata shook his head. “If it can’t even take off, repairing the hull is out of the question! Keep that fragment for now. Later, I’ll teach you how to use it. It’s much better than your Dark Cloud Shuttle.”

Luo Feng quickly asked, “Does the fragment have a unique usage method?”

“Of course!” Babata smiled. “Your Earth’s cultivation and combat methods are too crude and primitive.”

“Now, let me talk about the legacy your teacher left for you,” Babata said.

Luo Feng listened attentively.

“The pile of Muya Crystals you collected earlier,” Babata said.

“What exactly is Muya Crystal used for?” Luo Feng asked quickly.

“Muya Crystal is a treasure used for cultivation and taming beasts and plant life. It has many uses,” Babata explained. “Just one Muya Crystal can allow someone at the eighth or ninth stage of apprenticeship to leap directly to the first stage of Star Level in about a month. However, in the universe, it is most commonly used for raising tamed beasts and nurturing plant life. For example, Hong obtained the Moyun Vine, which grows quickly when using Muya Crystal.”

“From now on, stop absorbing energy directly from the universe. That method is far too inefficient. Most of your time would be wasted on absorbing energy, and you’d never reach the cosmic level in your lifetime.”

“In the future, you will cultivate using Muya Crystals. I have plenty of them,” Babata said.
