The Domain Master qualification battle passed quietly. The super beings and geniuses of the human race were not the least surprised that Luo Feng had taken first place. They all clearly understood that with Luo Feng’s cultivation speed, he was destined to become a prominent figure in the human race across the universe!
Now, they all eagerly anticipated whether Luo Feng could succeed in cultivating the first layer of “Yanshen Qibian” within 3,000 years in Chaos City and become a direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord.
…
Inside Chaos City.
“Prince Luo Feng.” Three Monarchs clad in silver battle armor arrived at Luo Feng’s cultivation residence, looking up at the figure sitting cross-legged on the rooftop terrace.
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng on the terrace opened his eyes, glanced down, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Swoosh!
He jumped directly off the balcony.
“Did the things I requested arrive?” Luo Feng asked the three Monarchs before him.
“Yes.” The leader of the three silver-armored Monarchs nodded respectfully and handed over a world ring, saying, “All the items you purchased, Prince Luo Feng, are within this world ring.”
Luo Feng accepted it and immediately sent his mental power into the world ring. The ‘world’ inside was small, with a diameter of merely ten thousand kilometers. However, it was filled with a massive amount of goods, covering an area of hundreds of kilometers. Most prominent among them were three silver chests placed at the center of the world.
“Good.” Luo Feng smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”
“It’s our honor, our honor.”
The three Monarchs responded with slight apprehension, “We won’t disturb you further, Prince Luo Feng. We’ll take our leave now.”
They quickly departed.
Walking along the wide street, the three couldn’t help but discuss in hushed tones: “They say Luo Feng is a once-in-a-million-epochs prodigy, but he doesn’t act high and mighty at all. He’s actually quite approachable. Last time we delivered goods to that Primordial Secret Monarch, he acted like such a big shot.”
“This is called grace!”
“Right.”
“I heard that Prince Luo Feng has been accepted as a direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord.”
“I heard he’s a formal disciple.”
“No, it’s definitely a direct disciple.”
“Oh, maybe the report was wrong.”
The three whispered among themselves. They were merely Monarchs, but as core staff members of the Virtual Universe Company, they often had access to secret information. However, most of what they heard had been passed around so many times that its authenticity was probably only half true.
…
Luo Feng took the world ring and immediately entered the living room of his cultivation residence.
Sitting on the sofa, Luo Feng stroked the world ring and quickly refined it.
“Come out.” With a gleam of eagerness in his eyes, Luo Feng directly pulled the three silver chests from the world within the ring.
The three silver chests were placed on the dining table.
Each chest was about one meter long, half a meter wide, and thirty centimeters high.
Luo Feng took a deep breath and quickly opened the three silver chests. “Click! Click! Click!” The chests opened, revealing inside each a small white plant. The plants were carefully placed, about sixty centimeters tall, with silver-white roots and stems.
“Star-Eating Grass!” Luo Feng smiled at the three plant lives. “Finally arrived.”
Ever since six years ago, when Luo Feng had just begun cultivating the first layer of “Yanshen Qibian” and studied his projected strength after mastering it, he had a clearer plan for the future. Since he would be cultivating in Chaos City for a long time, he needed to make full use of that time.
How to use it?
One of his major assets was “Luok Divine Water,” a top-tier treasure for cultivating plant life, so naturally, he wanted to cultivate plant life.
It was well known that many powerful cultivators lived in seclusion within Chaos City, and they often needed to purchase various treasures. Since the spaceships of the Virtual Universe Company frequently came here, it was natural to place orders.
Luo Feng had ordered three young “Star-Eating Grass” plants.
…
Star-Eating Grass: A very unique plant life that grows in the universe. It is born on an ordinary mineral planet. As it grows, it automatically consumes various metals and rocks on the planet. A normal mineral planet is sufficient for a “Star-Eating Grass” to evolve to the Cosmic level, while the mineral planet itself will disintegrate. The grass will then root itself on large rocks and begin its interstellar wandering.
During its wandering, the Star-Eating Grass may consume unique metals, rocks, plants, and trees, allowing it to evolve further.
…
Plant life comes in many types.
There are primarily defensive types, primarily offensive types, those that combine both offense and defense, and other specialized types. Because plant life is so diverse, their functions are countless. Some plant lives can even give birth to other living beings, while others, like trees, must be rooted in soil. Even when transplanted, they must be handled with care, unlike the Moyun Vine, which can fly and move freely.
In short, there are countless types with countless functions.
Only the most suitable ones are the best.
…
Star-Eating Grass: Known as the “toughest offensive plant life,” the term “toughest” here refers specifically to the plant life that can be purchased by the human race. In the vast universe, there are still some rare and unique plant lives that cannot be sold. The Star-Eating Grass naturally loves to consume rocks, metals, and trees, making its vines and grass incredibly tough and sharp.
Its attack method is very simple.
Just one move: “Entangling Kill!”
The Moyun Vine is different from the Star-Eating Grass. The Moyun Vine is primarily defensive, with only a slight offensive capability.
However, the price of Star-Eating Grass is higher than that of the Moyun Vine. Without a certain status or connections, one simply cannot purchase a Star-Eating Grass seedling! Because the Star-Eating Grass is an offensive plant life known as the “toughest,” it serves as an excellent auxiliary helper in battle. For example, during a fight…
The countless vines of the Star-Eating Grass can entangle the opponent. As long as they can entangle and affect the opponent’s speed and attacks, the outcome of the battle could be completely changed!
Its only ability, “Entangling Kill,” combined with its best advantage—”the toughest among all sold plant lives”—makes it highly sought after.
Three young Star-Eating Grass plants cost Luo Feng nearly 900,000 Chaos Units.
Of course, the seedlings are all the same, but their final forms after cultivation will differ.
Take the Moyun Vine, for example. At the Monarch level, the worst has only 36 main vines, while the best has 360 main vines. Back then, Hu Yanbo, the master of the Yumosite Star, had a Moyun Vine with only 108 main vines at the Monarch level. It still took him countless efforts to break through to the Immortal level. Luo Feng’s Moyun Vine at the Monarch level has 216 main vines, and breaking through to the Immortal level will likely be ten times harder than Hu Yanbo’s.
The Star-Eating Grass is more expensive than the Moyun Vine.
At the Monarch level, the worst is the Ten-Vine Star-Eating Grass, while the best is the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass.
…
“Star-Eating Grass!” Luo Feng looked at the three seedlings with a smile.
The three Star-Eating Grass plants, along with the massive amount of cultivation materials spread throughout the world within the ring, altogether cost Luo Feng nearly two million Chaos Units! Without enough money, how could one dare to cultivate?
“The Moyun Vine is primarily defensive, while the Star-Eating Grass assists in offense.” Luo Feng thought to himself. “The toughness of the Star-Eating Grass is well known. Even as seedlings, they can consume planets…”
” Luo Feng, don’t get too excited too soon.”
Ba Ba Ta’s voice echoed in Luo Feng’s mind. “Your master’s Moyun Vine had only 108 main vines and cost 6.2 million Chaos Units, along with luck, to finally break through. That Moyun Vine barely reached the strength of a Marquis-level Immortal. Your Moyun Vine has 216 main vines, making it ten times harder to break through than your master’s! If it were the strongest Moyun Vine with 360 main vines… it would be ten times harder than even a Gold-Horned Colossal Beast breaking through to Immortality! But once it does become Immortal, a 360-main-vine Moyun Vine would have the strength of a King-level Immortal.”
“The Star-Eating Grass is more expensive than the Moyun Vine.”
“Growing the weakest Ten-Vine Star-Eating Grass to Immortality is naturally easier.”
“But a 500-vine Star-Eating Grass would rival the strongest Moyun Vine.”
“And the legendary Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass, breaking through to Immortality, would be almost as hard as a Queen of the Bug Race achieving Immortality! Of course, once successful, an Immortal-level Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass would definitely have the strength of a peak King-level Immortal.”
…
Hearing Ba Ba Ta’s long explanation, Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile.
He naturally knew all this. There are countless lives in the universe, each with its own wonders, but there’s never a free lunch! The universe is fair. Beings like the Star Colossal Beasts and the Bug Race Queens face almost impossible odds in breaking through to Immortality. The same goes for plant life—the more powerful the plant life, the harder it is to break through.
One could choose to cultivate weaker plant life, which is easier to evolve into an Immortal.
Or cultivate extremely powerful plant life, which might never evolve into an Immortal at all.
The choice is entirely up to the individual.
“Haha, that’s exactly why I ordered three plants.” Luo Feng smiled. “I’ll cultivate one into a Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass, one into a Three Hundred-Vine, and one into the top-tier Thousand-Vine.”
The nearly two million Chaos Units spent included nearly 900,000 for the three seedlings themselves and over 1.1 million for various resources to cultivate them.
Most of the resources, over 90 percent, were used to cultivate the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass.
“Luckily.”
“Luckily, I have Luok Divine Water. Otherwise, cultivating a Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass to the Monarch level would bankrupt even a Marquis-level Immortal.” Luo Feng thought to himself. “I’m doing fine now, spending two million. By the time I reach the Monarch level, the other 50 million Chaos Units from the Virtual Universe Company will be in my account.”
…
Cultivating the Star-Eating Grass is quite simple. First, it must be bonded with its master, then it undergoes a straightforward cultivation process. Most of the time, the three Star-Eating Grass plants remained in the lake of Luok Divine Water. Ba Ba Ta was responsible for monitoring their evolution, providing additional resources at appropriate times to accelerate their growth.
…
“These three Star-Eating Grass plants are still seedlings now, but I’ll be staying in Chaos City for a long time. By the time I master the first layer of ‘Yanshen Qibian,’ these three plants will probably have reached the peak of the Monarch level.” Luo Feng smiled, then stopped thinking further and devoted himself entirely to cultivating “Yanshen Qibian.”
Time passed without notice in cultivation…
Luo Feng sat cross-legged on the rooftop terrace of his residence for years, just like many other diligent cultivators.
One year, ten years, a hundred years… time flowed by ceaselessly… and Luo Feng continued to progress steadily…
