Luo Feng felt secretly disappointed.
Whether he wanted to sell the inheritance crystal or use it for other purposes, the more rare the inheritance crystal was, the better.
Now, upon hearing this… the Mengguang Divine Envoy inheritance crystal actually had dozens, even hundreds of copies.
“Take the Hong Alliance, for example. They possess more than 8,000 Divine Envoy inheritance crystals, and the most common type of identical inheritance crystal reaches up to 101 pieces,” said the Chaos City Lord, standing there with swirling air currents around him. “The Mengguang Divine Envoy inheritance crystal is extremely rare within the Hong Alliance, with only one existing. That’s why yours is so valuable.”
Luo Feng felt secretly delighted and continued listening attentively.
“The Divine Envoy inheritance ranks one level below the Divine General inheritance,” the Chaos City Lord explained. “Even if one fully masters the Divine Envoy inheritance and becomes a ‘Divine Envoy Candidate,’ one can only reach the peak of a King-level immortal. Only by fusing the inheritance crystal and becoming the sole representative of a specific Divine Envoy can one rival the strength of an ordinary Cosmic Sovereign—just like your teacher, Zhenyan King.”
“Zhenyan King, my teacher?” Luo Feng was startled.
“Yes,” nodded the Chaos City Lord. “Your teacher, Zhenyan King, is considered peerless among King-level immortals and rivals even the weakest Cosmic Sovereigns. This is the level of power possessed by Divine Envoys like Mengguang. As for those Divine Envoy Candidates—though each has mastered their secret techniques to perfection, they are merely top-tier experts and cannot rival ordinary Cosmic Sovereigns.”
“Moreover…”
“There is a drawback to accepting a Divine Envoy inheritance. If you haven’t mastered it, it’s fine. But once you reach mastery, your ultimate potential for growth becomes capped at the level of Divine Envoy,” the Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng. “In other words, although the special secret techniques of a Divine Envoy inheritance grant immense power early on, once mastered, they will forever prevent you from becoming a true Cosmic Sovereign.”
“Eh?” Luo Feng’s eyes widened.
Unable to become a Cosmic Sovereign?
Indeed, blessings and misfortunes often come hand in hand. The technique’s early power is formidable, but it bars the path to Cosmic Sovereign status.
“Becoming a Cosmic Sovereign is already extremely difficult, so many geniuses don’t harbor such grand ambitions. Some even willingly choose to cultivate Divine Envoy inheritances,” the Chaos City Lord continued. “Because Divine Envoy inheritances must be accepted by World-level beings—Immortal beings cannot undergo the inheritance process. Hence, the cost for each inheritance is relatively low.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Indeed.
How high could the price be for a World-level being to undergo an inheritance?
“It’s usually paid for by their teachers. Within the Hong Alliance, undergoing a Divine Envoy inheritance—exchanged using points—costs between one to three billion points, depending on the inheritance’s power level,” the Chaos City Lord explained. “But Divine General inheritances are completely different… Many King-level immortals fiercely compete for the chance to obtain one, often seeking help from their respective teachers. Each opportunity alone costs hundreds of billions of points, and they must also ask their teachers to call in favors from powerful experts, accumulating many debts.”
“Hundreds of billions of points and countless debts are required to secure a single opportunity for a Divine General inheritance,” the Chaos City Lord said. “You should now understand how precious Divine General inheritances are. For example, your teacher, Zhenyan King, has undergone a Divine General inheritance.”
“Ah—” Luo Feng was curious.
“The Divine Envoy inheritance, at its peak, only reaches the limit of King-level immortality. Even if one becomes the sole representative of a Divine Envoy, one can only rival an ordinary Cosmic Sovereign.”
“The Divine General inheritance, however, is millions of times more difficult. Once one fully masters the inheritance, one becomes a Cosmic Sovereign at the peak of power… Even when facing a Cosmic Sovereign Lord, one has a chance of survival. This level of strength rivals that of Xiluoduo, the creator of the ‘Yanshen Qibian’ you cultivate, and also rivals the Tianyi Palace Lord you know. Though they haven’t truly reached the level of a Cosmic Sovereign Lord, they are still considered Cosmic overlords,” the Chaos City Lord explained. “Of course, the Divine General inheritance is extremely difficult to obtain. Very few can fully master it. Even so, the benefits are immense—surpassing even the mastery of soul amplification or physical amplification secret techniques.”
Luo Feng nodded eagerly.
He had undergone an inheritance himself, and his soul amplification had already exceeded 3200.
“Divine Envoy inheritance, Divine General inheritance…”
“The difference between them is immense.”
“Their power levels and future potential differ greatly. Therefore, within the Hong Alliance, the point costs for exchanging them are vastly different,” the Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng. “As for the ‘Mengguang Divine Envoy inheritance crystal’ you obtained, it’s useless to you now. You now have two choices…”
“First, sell it to the Virtual Universe Company for 30 billion points.”
“Second, exchange it for an opportunity to undergo a Divine General inheritance. However, each Divine General inheritance site only becomes available once every 10,081 epochs. Therefore, the suitable Divine General inheritance for you will only be available in 120,000 years.”
“Choose whichever you wish.”
After finishing, the Chaos City Lord fell silent, waiting for Luo Feng’s response.
Luo Feng, however, was now in turmoil.
Two choices…
How difficult to decide!
30 billion points could be used for many things, allowing him to exchange for various treasures. Used wisely, these treasures could greatly boost his strength at critical moments. No one could predict what treasures he might need at some point in the future, as opportunities are unpredictable.
The opportunity for a Divine General inheritance, however, was even more precious, sparking fierce competition among countless King-level immortals. Their Cosmic Sovereign teachers would also assist, spending hundreds of billions of points and accumulating many debts just to secure a single slot. Having undergone the ‘Moyin Divine General inheritance,’ Luo Feng clearly understood how powerful such inheritances were.
If he underwent a physical-type Divine General inheritance, his physical amplification might instantly surge by dozens of times, making him incredibly powerful.
The ‘Benzun Tian Di’ technique, at its peak, only reached 36 times amplification.
“How to choose?”
“Although the Divine General inheritance is superior, it won’t be available for another 120,000 years. During this time, I won’t gain any benefits from it,” Luo Feng frowned.
Another expert might immediately choose the Divine General inheritance opportunity.
But Luo Feng was different.
He had only lived for a few thousand years so far. 120,000 years was an extremely long time for him. In just a few thousand years, his achievements were already this high. What kind of growth and opportunities would he encounter in the next 120,000 years? There would surely be many critical moments where points would be essential.
…
Luo Feng stood there, intensely thinking for a full twenty seconds, during which his consciousness calculated countless possibilities at an incredible speed.
“Teacher,” Luo Feng respectfully said.
“Have you decided?” the Chaos City Lord looked at him.
“Disciple wishes to temporarily retain the inheritance crystal. Whether to exchange it for points or for a Divine General inheritance opportunity, I will decide at a crucial moment in the future,” Luo Feng respectfully replied.
“That’s acceptable.”
The Chaos City Lord nodded. “I will help you reserve the Divine General inheritance opportunity. It is the ‘Four-direction Divine General’ inheritance opportunity. I will reserve it for you… until 120,000 years from now.”
“Thank you, teacher,” Luo Feng expressed his gratitude.
Was such a reservation even possible? Could one simply choose to take or decline the opportunity at will? This was purely the Chaos City Lord helping him.
“Go now.”
“Yes.”
Luo Feng respectfully withdrew.
Watching Luo Feng disappear from the hall, the Chaos City Lord standing in the palace nodded slightly. “From Luo Feng’s combat footage in the military system, he effortlessly killed a peak marquis-level opponent and even used the explosion of a Fire God Origin Crystal to eliminate an initial-stage king-level enemy. Although the Wings of Slaying Wu absorbed most of the impact—primarily excelling in flight with attack and defense as secondary functions—his Golden Horned Beast avatar still managed to withstand the explosion of a high-level king-class Fire God Origin Crystal under those conditions. It seems my disciple’s experiences are even more extraordinary than I had anticipated.”
“I wonder what kind of encounter it is.”
“An inheritance from an expert of an alien race? Or a special treasure born in the universe? Or something from before the Great Destruction Era…” the Chaos City Lord shook his head. “Though he has had these encounters, becoming a true expert still depends on oneself. Let’s see how far my disciple can go.”
The Chaos City Lord knew a great deal about Luo Feng.
However, he knew nothing about the ‘Unnamed Secret Manual,’ ‘Battle Armor,’ or ‘General Armor.’ Humanity still knew nothing about these aspects.
But because he had been closely following Luo Feng’s growth, the Chaos City Lord naturally deduced… that Luo Feng must have encountered something extremely powerful and terrifying. However, with the Chaos City Lord’s extensive knowledge, though there were many possibilities, he could not determine exactly what it was.
…
In a cave inside an ordinary mountain range on the battlefield of Yanji Continent, Luo Feng temporarily designated it as his hideout.
He activated the micro-probe, and the Moyun Vine spread out to monitor a ten-kilometer radius.
The clone of the Mosha Clan turned into stone within the cave, while Luo Feng’s Earth human clone and Golden Horned Beast clone commenced cultivating the second tribulation of the Nameless Secret Manual.
“The second calamity is far more difficult than the first one.”
“Wow.”
“My genes are evolving once more. Truly astonishing.” As he cultivated, Luo Feng couldn’t help but marvel. The first tribulation had already elevated his genes far beyond those of an ordinary human World Lord, and now the second tribulation was triggering yet another evolution. Based on Luo Feng’s assessment, persisting with this cultivation might enable his human body’s genes to evolve to a level comparable to those of an ordinary Golden Horned Beast!
The genetic differences between humans and Jingu beasts were originally vast.
Yet, with the Unnamed Secret Manual, he could still bridge that gap!
A secret technique surpassing the universe’s operational laws… was indeed this miraculous!
…
Boom!
The body of the Jingu beast completely disintegrated, then reassembled into a new clone of the Jingu beast, continuing to cultivate the second tribulation.
…
Two months into Luo Feng’s cultivation of the second tribulation, at his mansion in the Primitive Zone of Yuxiang Mountain within the Virtual Universe.
“Your Highness, those are the envoys claiming to be from the Hong Alliance,” the steward Dylan pointed toward the mansion’s entrance in the distance.
“Oh?”
Luo Feng walked over, slightly frowning. The Hong Alliance?
Outside the mansion’s grand gates stood a group of Immortal beings, with diverse appearances. Some were human, others were from different alien races, totaling nine experts.
“Greetings,” Luo Feng approached, slightly puzzled. He could sense the invisible mental pressure radiating from these experts, each seemingly at the king-level.
“Prince Luo Feng,” a human female expert, wearing pink battle armor and with long pink hair, her entire body seemingly translucent, smiled. Her smile subtly affected Luo Feng. “We are the special envoys of the Hong Alliance. We have come to formally invite Prince Luo Feng to join our Hong Alliance.”
