In the primeval zone of Yuxiang Mountain within the Virtual Universe, Luo Feng sat in front of his desk, gazing at the laptop screen.
Displayed on the screen was detailed information about the ‘Primeval Tongtianshan (Heaven-Reaching Mountain).’
“It’s tough. Really tough,” Luo Feng muttered inwardly.
The guardians of the Primeval Tongtianshan were divided into three trials—located at the foot, waist, and peak of the mountain. Each trial involved a trio of opponents: a Minotaur warrior, an Ape Psychic, and a Serpent Illusionist. The trial at the foot of the mountain was the easiest, the middle trial was significantly more difficult, and the peak trial was absurdly hard. Only by passing all three trials could one be considered truly successful.
In essence, the ‘Primeval Tongtianshan’ was never meant to be conquerable; it was simply a lofty benchmark placed beyond reach.
Yet, humanity inevitably produced monstrous geniuses.
Some rare prodigies who emerged only once every ten million eons managed to conquer the Primeval Tongtianshan!
“Can I pass it now?” Luo Feng mused inwardly.
According to the *Seven Metamorphoses of Divine Consciousness*, mastering the first chapter of Scale-Armoring corresponds to comprehending the laws of the fifteenth tier on the Heaven-Reaching Bridge. Given my extraordinary mental amplitude, I should be capable of reaching the sixteenth tier. And if I invoke the Beast God’s *Intent Domain*, my power may ascend even higher,” Luo Feng mused.
This was purely theoretical. Actual combat involved many other factors.
Psychological factors, school counters, and so on. Remember, these were combined attacks from a warrior, a psychic, and an illusionist. If the illusionist delayed you for just a moment, the other guardians might kill you outright.
…
After browsing through the information on the Primeval Tongtianshan, Luo Feng began searching for details on “Domain Lord-level resource rewards.”
“I’ve long heard that the rewards for Domain Lords in the Primeval Secret Realm are astonishing. All the geniuses fight fiercely for these Domain Lord-level resource rewards,” Luo Feng smiled. “I wonder just how impressive these rewards are.”
Beep!
Instantly, a flood of information appeared on the laptop screen.
“It’s great to have high clearance,” Luo Feng smirked. Before becoming the direct disciple of Chaos City Lord, Luo Feng would have received only blank pages when searching for such information. Now, he had access to detailed records.
“Wow!” Babata, perched on his shoulder, gasped in astonishment. “This is too outrageous.”
“It really is,” Luo Feng took a deep breath. He clicked on one of the files.
Domain Lord: This was a crucial stage of cultivation. The Virtual Universe Company nurtured its geniuses carefully. At the Cosmic-level, trainees were given only cultivation missions and lived safely within secret realms. At the Domain Lord-level, they were given some missions with protective guards. Overall, they faced little threat. However, only an eagle that repeatedly braved storms could grow into a true supreme being, forged through countless battles.
Therefore, the benefits gained from the Cosmic-level and Domain Lord-level Primeval Secret Realms were not particularly significant.
What truly made others envious was the resource allocation granted to those who became Primeval Secret Realm Domain Lords.
The resource allocation worked like this—
Upon becoming a Primeval Secret Realm Domain Lord, one would participate in the first “Domain Lord Qualification War.” The top-ranking participant would receive a reward of one billion points. Those ranked second to tenth would receive 300 million points, and those ranked eleventh to one hundredth would receive 100 million points.
Of course…
Such resource rewards were only valid for the first qualification war. No rewards would be given for the second, third… tenth, or hundredth qualification wars. As for what treasures Domain Lords might want to purchase, they could be exchanged using points.
“Smart move.”
“Each Domain Lord may need different secret techniques and treasures, so they simply distribute points,” Luo Feng mused. “It’s a grand gesture, but earning high amounts of points is extremely difficult. Because participating in your first Domain Lord Qualification War means you’re still a rookie among Domain Lords. To rank first among seasoned veterans and earn ten billion points? Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!”
“Even earning 300 million points is probably rare.”
“Most will only get 100 million points,” Luo Feng thought.
Points were extremely valuable.
Many treasures within the Virtual Universe Company could only be exchanged using points. Even someone as powerful as Zhenyan King used points to exchange for the upper portion of the ‘Zhen Shen Qi Bian.’
Moreover, the later stages of cultivation saw an even greater purchasing power from points.
Take ‘Life Fruits’ or ‘Zhen Shen Weapons’ for example. Buying these relatively cheap items with points was actually quite inefficient. A treasure worth one Huan Yuan unit might cost ten points.
However—
As items became more expensive, points began to show their advantage.
Take the ‘Supreme Flare Void Gold’ as an example. If put up for auction, it would typically sell for between 1.5 to 2 million Huan Yuan units. However, given Luo Feng’s current clearance level, he could exchange it using points—and at a heavily discounted rate. A mere 500,000 points would be enough to obtain the ‘Supreme Flare Void Gold.’ At this stage, the purchasing power of each point actually surpassed that of a single Huan Yuan unit.
Furthermore, many items couldn’t even be purchased with Huan Yuan units. Thus, many Immortal Emperors preferred to convert their wealth into points to exchange for the secret techniques and treasures they needed.
“One hundred million points can purchase more than one hundred million Huan Yuan units worth of goods,” Luo Feng mused. “And the assets of Marquis-level Immortal Emperors are usually in the tens of millions of Huan Yuan units.”
“Every Primeval Secret Realm Domain Lord!”
“Once they become Immortal Emperors, they are at least Marquis-level, and certainly among the wealthier Marquis-level Immortal Emperors,” Luo Feng thought.
Of course…
Points were meant to be spent!
These points were essentially free gifts from the Virtual Universe Company, meant to provide these ‘Primeval Secret Realm Domain Lords’ with excellent development opportunities. After all, with 100 Domain Lords from the Primeval Secret Realm, the total points awarded would be just over 10 billion—something the Virtual Universe Company could easily afford. However, since new ‘Primeval Secret Realm Domain Lords’ continuously emerged, the points were capped accordingly.
…
Luo Feng continued reading through the ‘Domain Lord Resource Rewards’ information, scanning each line.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.
The Virtual Universe Company also offered additional special rewards:
1. If one passed the ‘Cosmic-level’ Primeval Tongtianshan, upon becoming a Domain Lord, they would receive 100 million points.
2. If one passed the ‘Domain Lord-level’ Primeval Tongtianshan, upon becoming a Domain Lord, they would receive 3 billion points.
3. If one passed the ‘Domain Lord-level’ Primeval Tongtianshan, they would immediately receive 100 billion points.
“My god.”
“That’s ruthless,” Luo Feng gasped in astonishment.
This was a massive reward!
“Wow~~~ That’s truly generous,” Babata, perched on his shoulder, cheered. “It’s also understandable. Passing the Primeval Tongtianshan is so difficult! Usually, only those rare geniuses who appear once every ten million eons can do it. Of course, the cultivation resources given must be much greater. This setup is probably to ensure that even if some geniuses start strong but later decline, they still receive enough rewards to support their future growth.”
Luo Feng nodded.
To succeed in the Domain Lord-level Primeval Tongtianshan, one needed the ability to pass the twentieth tier of the Heaven-Reaching Bridge! Only one tier away from becoming a Cosmic Sovereign! Such a ‘Domain Lord’ would, upon becoming an Immortal Emperor, likely rival Zhenyan King immediately, with a high chance of becoming a Cosmic Sovereign. Thus, receiving a 100 billion point reward for cultivation was perfectly reasonable.
…
“Huff!” Luo Feng leaned back, lying on a sofa in the study, holding a cup of fruit wine.
“Talent, resources, temperament, fate… to become a supreme being among countless species in the universe, all these factors are indispensable,” Luo Feng sighed. “The Virtual Universe Company is indeed devoted to nurturing future champions.”
Conquering the Primeval Tongtianshan offered the highest rewards, because it was usually only those rare geniuses who appeared once every ten million eons who could achieve it. For most geniuses, this path was simply too unrealistic.
Becoming a Domain Lord in the Primeval Secret Realm also offered generous rewards. This path was more realistic and was the goal for countless geniuses.
As for Domain Lords from the ‘Tai Chu Secret Realm,’ ‘Heaven and Earth Secret Realm,’ and ‘Apocalyptic Secret Realm,’ they would also receive point rewards after participating in the first Domain Lord Qualification War, but those rewards were significantly smaller.
…
“I should check the materials needed to cultivate the second layer of ‘Ben Zun Tian Di,'” Luo Feng thought.
The ‘Ben Zun Tian Di’ cultivation method was extremely powerful.
It allowed one’s strength to increase exponentially!
However, the method demanded extremely rare and expensive materials.
“High clearance really makes a difference. Many treasures I couldn’t access or exchange for before are now available,” Luo Feng was delighted. With his increased clearance, the number of treasures in the ‘Treasure Vault’ had increased significantly. He even found all the precious materials required for the second layer of ‘Ben Zun Tian Di.’
But when he calculated the total points needed…
“My god,” Luo Feng took a deep breath. “I should conquer the Primeval Tongtianshan!”
He had no choice—he was broke!
Even after becoming a Domain Lord, he would only receive a cash reward of 50 million Huan Yuan units, but cultivating the Mo Yun Vine and Star-Eating Grass was like pouring money into a bottomless pit! Worst of all was the ‘Ben Zun Tian Di’ cultivation method.
Just one feather from Kanluosi was priced at 12 million points in the ‘Treasure Vault.’ There were even more ‘expensive’ treasures. Some that were once unavailable in the ‘Treasure Vault’ could now be found, but they were even more expensive than Kanluosi’s feather. To complete the second layer of this method would cost over ten billion points! As for the third layer of ‘Ben Zun Tian Di’… he couldn’t even think about it. With his current clearance, he could only find three of the required materials, and the rest were completely untraceable.
That’s why…
That’s why so few ‘Golden-Horned Giant Beast Domain Lords’ managed to cultivate the second layer. After all, how could the solitary and limited Golden-Horned Giant Beasts compare with the vast resources of the human race? The Virtual Universe Company, with its massive collection of treasures, naturally had an overwhelming amount, but those treasures were also gathered through countless hardships by countless supreme beings.
“Conquer the Primeval Tongtianshan and earn 3 billion points,” Luo Feng thought. “With those 3 billion points, my strength will rise significantly.”
Swoosh!
In an instant, Luo Feng vanished from the study.
…
Within the Tongtianshan Dimensional Space, only three towering mountains stood upon this vast land. On the waist of each mountain were glowing golden words—’Heaven and Earth,’ ‘Tai Chu,’ and ‘Primeval.’ Among them, the Primeval Tongtianshan was clearly the tallest.
“Whoosh!”
Luo Feng appeared out of nowhere and quickly flew toward the Primeval Tongtianshan.
Luo Feng descended to the base of the mountain, his eyes lifting toward the colossal Primeval Tongtianshan, its peak vanishing into the heavens. His gaze then shifted downward, settling upon a nearby boulder where a towering Minotaur lay deep in slumber. Beside the beast rested an enormous, dark-purple axe—its surface resembling congealed blood—radiating an aura of bone-chilling menace.
“Stop sleeping, Minotaur. Call the Ape Psychic and the Serpent Illusionist. I’m here to conquer the Primeval Tongtianshan,” Luo Feng called out.
The sleeping Minotaur abruptly sat up, blinked his eyes, looked around, and spotted Luo Feng.
“You… want to conquer the Primeval Tongtianshan?” he asked.
“Yeah,” Luo Feng nodded.
