Inside a specially formed spatial dimension of the Virtual Universe:
“Aowww~~~” A series of dragon-like creatures, entirely azure in color, twisted through the skies. “Aang!” Beautiful avian beasts with radiant, seven-colored wings were also commonly seen. Across this vast dimensional space, at a single glance, there were thousands upon thousands of strange beasts—some beautiful, some terrifying.
Encircled by millions of bizarre creatures,
A grand palace complex, entirely crimson red, floated midair. Within one of its halls,
“Crash!” A tall, muscular man, clad entirely in purple battle armor, with a silver-colored single horn atop his head, slammed his wine glass onto the floor. The semi-transparent glass shattered violently upon impact. His face contorted with fury, his eyes like burning twin stars, as he roared in anger: “Do you think I’m easy prey? The inheritance of the Moshan Mountains was an opportunity I worked tirelessly to secure for my disciple, Mengcang Wang. And now you tell me it’s gone?”
“Venerable!”
A white-haired elder standing beneath the grand hall bowed deeply. “It’s not that it’s gone—it must simply wait for the next cycle!”
“The next cycle? The next cycle? Damn the next cycle!!!” The silver-horned man roared furiously. “Each cycle of the Moshan inheritance occurs only once every 10,081 epochs! Each cycle admits no more than 32 individuals. I spent countless treasures, invested so much, and finally secured a spot through the final vote. Now you come to tell me… that one of the 32 inheritance palaces in Moshan was occupied by an unknown lifeform, leaving one spot missing?”
“What does one missing spot have to do with me? Why take away my disciple’s opportunity? Why not take someone else’s?” The silver-horned man’s fury was boundless.
“Venerable!”
The white-haired elder bowed slightly again. “During the vote, Mengcang Wang ranked last among the 32. Hence, the decision was made…”
“Get out! Get out of my sight!” The silver-horned man waved his hand violently.
The elder slightly bowed and, not daring to speak further, immediately turned and left.
The silver-horned man’s expression remained grim.
He was a Venerable, one of the eternal existences among the human race of the cosmos. There were few things in the universe that could truly humiliate him—but this time…
“The old bastards within the Hong Alliance accepted my gifts back then, yet now they feign righteousness. With one spot missing, they immediately stripped my disciple of his chance!” He seethed inwardly, though he knew full well that once a decision had been made from above, his anger was of no use.
“Who was it!”
“Who was it that stole my disciple’s spot?” The silver-horned man fumed.
The Moshan inheritance!
It was a thousandfold more precious than the chance to decipher the Nine Heavens Chaos Stele. For the Chaos Stele merely illuminated the path to comprehending the fundamental laws of existence, whereas the ‘Moshan Legacy’ was a meticulously recorded, trueborn cultivation scripture. By following its sacred verses step by step, one’s power would ascend to celestial heights.
“Wait for the next cycle? 10,081 epochs from now?” The silver-horned man grew angrier with each thought.
His disciple, Mengcang Wang, was an immortal at the King level.
To ascend to the rank of Venerable was extremely difficult!
Yet through this Moshan inheritance, the odds of becoming a Venerable could be significantly increased. Now, due to an unknown lifeform seizing the opportunity, his disciple would have to wait for another hundred million years.
…
Of course, Luo Feng had no knowledge of such high-level affairs within the cosmos.
He only knew to seize the opportunity and immerse himself in cultivation.
…
Inside the inheritance hall, upon the inheritance staircase.
Luo Feng had stood motionless on the first step of the staircase for a full day, eyes closed, standing atop the black stone step. His mind’s willpower continuously practiced the inheritance technique. This unnamed yet powerful inheritance technique was temporarily named the “Supreme Moshan Scripture.”
According to the information Luo Feng received while standing on the first step of the staircase, this “Supreme Moshan Scripture” was primarily divided into two parts:
One was the Foundation.
The second was the Moshan Technique.
The Foundation accounted for 99% of the entire “Supreme Moshan Scripture.” Once the foundation was solidly established, the final Moshan Technique could be easily mastered.
This ‘Foundation’ referred to the amplitude strength of mental willpower!
For example, when Luo Feng controlled a throwing knife, its maximum attack power reached a certain value. Luo Feng’s limit was controlling 78 throwing knives simultaneously, each achieving maximum attack power. Thus, his mental willpower amplitude was 78. Back on Earth, when Luo Feng was still weak, he could control over ten throwing knives simultaneously, each achieving maximum attack power.
The soul possessed mental willpower amplitude!
The body possessed physical strength amplitude!
The ‘Immortal Altar’ tested physical strength amplitude. Generally speaking, reaching a physical strength amplitude of 100 meant perfect control over every ounce of bodily strength. A physical strength amplitude of 100 was considered the normal limit!
By the same logic,
If one’s mental willpower amplitude could control 100 throwing knives simultaneously, with each achieving the maximum attack power achievable when controlled individually, that too was the normal limit!
However!
That was merely the normal limit.
For example, the Gold Horned Giant Beast: under normal circumstances, its physical strength amplitude might be between 80 to 90 when unleashing physical attacks. But once it activated its innate technique—’Amplification!’—its attack power would immediately double, reaching over 100. If it activated the ‘Primordial Heaven’ technique, its physical strength would increase several times more—reaching several hundred! Additionally, the Gold Horned Giant Beast’s ‘Right Hoof,’ when activating the Blood-Net Power, would cause its strength to surge!
Its physical strength would rise dramatically!
In theory, the limit was 100, but that was only the normal limit. Certain special techniques and treasures could allow one to transcend the normal limit! These techniques and treasures were considered priceless treasures within the cosmos.
…
The innate technique ‘Amplification’ enhanced both body and soul.
Currently, the Gold Horned Giant Beast’s soul amplitude was 78. However, once the innate technique was activated, its attack power would immediately double!
The “Supreme Moshan Scripture” was a technique similar to the ‘Primordial Heaven’ technique stored in the Gold Horned Giant Beast’s memory, but even more extraordinary and powerful. The ‘Primordial Heaven’ technique, when fully mastered, only increased strength by 27 times. However, the “Supreme Moshan Scripture” was far superior.
It was a true path to ultimate mastery of an ultimate inheritance!
…
“Truly profound and wondrous!”
“It surpasses the ‘Primordial Heaven’ technique, such an extraordinary inheritance!” Luo Feng opened his eyes, gazing at the endless staircase stretching before him. He inhaled deeply and leapt forward, landing upon the second step.
As Luo Feng’s foot touched the second step, an extremely detailed and refined technique immediately surged into his mind.
Continuing his cultivation!
Day after day!
Step by step!
On this staircase leading into the infinite void, Luo Feng advanced relentlessly.
In fact, from the moment he began the inheritance process, Luo Feng had received a message: once the inheritance began, it could not be stopped! One must continuously cultivate and progress. The process of cultivation was, in fact, a torment upon one’s will and consciousness. If one could not endure this torment and ceased cultivation, the inheritance would automatically end!
Across the vast cosmos, over billions of years, over ten thousand different lifeforms had come to receive this inheritance.
Yet—
Not a single lifeform had ever reached the end of the inheritance staircase!
“I wonder how long this inheritance lasts!”
“Hmm, the opportunity is hard to come by. I mustn’t miss it.”
Luo Feng was like a beggar devouring bread, obsessively and passionately cultivating. The more he cultivated, the more he felt his consciousness amplitude strength continuously rising. Soon, it surpassed 100—the normal limit—and kept increasing.
It was too extraordinary.
The more he cultivated, the more he realized that if such a technique were to be exchanged within the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company, it would command an astronomical price! Perhaps even the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company might not contain such a powerful technique.
“This is a one-time cultivation opportunity.”
“How much I can cultivate depends on how far I can go. Perhaps I can even reach mastery! No matter what, how can I not give it my all?”
…
As Luo Feng was receiving the Moshan inheritance at the heart of the Moshan Mountains, the experts sent by Hou Poyu of the Thousand-Star Sect to hunt Luo Feng were facing their own troubles.
Six months later.
In the vast expanse of the Virtual Cosmos, there existed an isle consecrated solely for the Nine-Star Sea Sovereigns.
On this island of the Nine-Star Sea, a vast palace complex served as the headquarters of the Thousand-Star Sect within the Virtual Universe Company.
Inside one of its halls,
“Divine One!”
Two Monarchs and two Sovereigns respectfully bowed.
A woman of breathtaking beauty, with jade-green long hair, sat lazily upon the throne, leaning against its backrest. She glanced down at them: “You four still haven’t found the target?”
“Yes, Divine One.”
The four felt nervous.
They were four of the six experts dispatched by the Thousand-Star Sect. The other two had already perished within the Moshan Mountains!
“A bunch of useless trash!”
The divine woman sneered. “I’ll give you six more months. I hope you won’t disappoint me!”
“Yes.”
The four sweated profusely.
…
Time passed, and soon six months had elapsed since the four entered the Moshan Mountains. During this time, one of the four Domain-level experts died after succumbing to the Moshan’s influence—unknowingly becoming a soulless husk.
Eventually, the three survivors fled from the Moshan Mountains.
…
“Congratulations. You have survived within the Moshan Mountains for a full year. You are fully qualified to join our Virtual Universe Company.” The company’s stationed forces at the outer edges of the Moshan Mountains quickly dispatched their lowest-ranking silver-robed attendants to welcome the three survivors.
Bayan and the other two Thousand-Star Sect experts exchanged glances, feeling helpless.
They had come to the Moshan Mountains at Hou Poyu’s command. In truth, none of them wished to join the Virtual Universe Company and serve as mere errand runners.
“Bring the three of them to me,” a voice echoed in the ears of the silver-robed attendants.
“Yes, Hou Poyu.”
The attendants immediately led Bayan and the other three toward Hou Poyu’s temple.
…
Deep within the temple, in a certain hall,
Hou Poyu lay reclined upon the throne, his emerald-green serpentine tail coiled beside it. He gazed down at the trembling Bayan and the others.
“Divine One.”
The three knelt.
With a wave of his hand, Hou Poyu forcibly stripped the space ring from the Domain expert’s finger, broke its spiritual imprint, and retrieved an E9-grade laser gun.
“Divine One, the target was merely a Level Nine Cosmic warrior. We haven’t found him in a whole year, and he hasn’t emerged from the Moshan Mountains. He likely perished within or was turned into a soulless husk by the Moshan’s influence,” explained Bayan, the highest-ranked Monarch at Level Nine.
“I hope that’s the case!”
Hou Poyu nodded slightly, then swept his gaze over the three kneeling figures.
Their eyes immediately froze!
Then—thud, thud, thud—they collapsed to the floor, dead.
“However, you know too much. You must die.” Hou Poyu said coldly. To send assassins after a genius valued by the Virtual Universe Company—if discovered—would mean even a Venerable Immortal like herself might not escape imprisonment in the Star Prison.
“A whole year has passed.”
“That little brat is most likely dead.” Hou Poyu murmured softly, then smiled seductively, as if the entire world around her suddenly became vibrant and colorful.
