“Disciple understands,” Luo Feng said respectfully.
“At present, you are unable to truly utilize the Star Tower or the Calamity Armor. The Calamity Armor is a complete set and cannot be separated. However, the Star Tower contains countless treasures… I have specially refined another treasure to assist you, based on the treasures within the Star Tower.” The towering elder flipped his palm.
Hua—
A giant scroll appeared out of thin air above the cruise ship, completely enveloping it. The cruise ship, over ten kilometers long, seemed like a tiny speck, much smaller than the scroll.
An immense, heart-pounding aura spread out.
This scroll’s aura was far stronger than the Sealed Stars.
“This scroll is a profound treasure. It can integrate countless Sealed Stars within it… Combining the two forms a special treasure—the Star Chart—which barely crosses the threshold into the ‘Supreme Treasure’ category.” The towering old man looked down at Luo Feng. “Once you establish a master bond with this scroll, you will understand its mysteries.”
The scroll rapidly shrank and landed in front of Luo Feng.
Luo Feng extended his hand to receive it. A bit of world power seeped into it, naturally imprinting his spiritual mark, establishing a mental connection. Simultaneously, a vast stream of information surged from the Star Chart into Luo Feng’s consciousness.
“So that’s how it works. This Star Chart is terrifying,” Luo Feng was astonished.
The scroll itself was already a profound treasure.
The Sealed Stars were also profound treasures.
Yet the scroll could integrate a vast number of Sealed Stars. According to the information flooding in, it could hold up to 100,000 Sealed Stars! Each Sealed Star was a profound treasure… Once 100,000 Sealed Stars fused with the scroll to form the Star Chart, it would undoubtedly cross into the realm of Supreme Treasures.
With the Star Chart, Luo Feng could inscribe the law patterns of his self-developed attack techniques into it, which would naturally be imprinted onto the Sealed Stars.
Once activated, each star would channel the laws, unleashing boundless power.
“I guess I’m just being lazy for now,” the towering old man laughed, his voice reverberating through the endless void. “I only refined the scroll; the Sealed Stars come from within the Star Tower.”
“Thank you, Teacher.”
Luo Feng expressed his gratitude respectfully.
“This Star Chart can hold up to 100,000 Sealed Stars. Although the Star Tower contains a vast number of Sealed Stars, almost all are crucial components of the tower itself and cannot be removed. Only a small number, about ten thousand Sealed Stars, are unnecessary and can be taken out,” the towering old man explained.
“Disciple understands,” Luo Feng nodded. After establishing a master bond with the Star Tower, he already knew much about it.
“Actually…”
The towering old man sighed, his voice creating ripples in the space of the endless void. “The Sealed Stars were originally designed without the ability to seal. Their primary function was offensive… Whether controlling countless stars to attack external enemies or controlling countless stars to attack enemies trapped within the tower, it was a method. But later, something unusual happened—these stars unexpectedly gained sealing abilities, beyond my imagination.”
“Controlling stars, inscribing law patterns onto them, and being able to erase and re-inscribe them at any time.”
“Before fully activating the Star Tower, controlling stars for attacks is a major method,” the towering old man mused. “If the entire Star Tower could be fully activated… Whether smashing it down or wielding it like a dagger, with the tower’s tip stabbing directly, that smash or stab would be the Star Tower’s strongest attack. Even at its weakest, it could easily kill a Cosmic Sovereign. If it unleashes enough power, it could traverse the vast universe without fear of anyone.”
Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher, may I ask when I will be able to fully activate the Star Tower?”
“Ha ha…”
“Can you see that energy vortex?” the towering old man asked.
“I see it. The Nine-Spin Star Cloud is immensely powerful. Just the vortex itself can annihilate a Cosmic Sovereign if one ventures slightly deeper,” Luo Feng replied.
“That Nine-Spin Star Cloud is the Star Tower restoring itself to its original size, actively absorbing energy from the universe to sustain its consumption,” the towering old man explained. “The Star Tower is nine light-years tall, containing boundless power. Even super-powerful beings in the universe are helpless against it. Maintaining such immense power consumes terrifying amounts of energy.”
“It constantly devours energy, easily annihilating Cosmic Sovereigns. If you shrink it and store it within your body, when could you supply such massive energy?” the towering old man asked.
Luo Feng was stunned.
How much energy would that require? The energy vortex alone could annihilate a Cosmic Sovereign.
“Don’t worry. That’s its maximum power state. You only need to activate its minimum power, which consumes far less energy,” the towering old man said. “Even so, it still far exceeds the requirements of the Armor of Tribulation! Regarding the Star Tower, I have only one requirement for you.”
“Teacher, please speak,” Luo Feng quickly replied.
“Before you can fully activate the Star Tower, leave the Star Tower here,” the towering old man said solemnly.
“Leave it here?” Luo Feng instantly understood.
“The Star Tower has long drawn the attention of the universe’s super-powerful beings. Even those who rival my strength covet the Star Tower… After all, it’s one of the strongest Supreme Treasures. The Star Tower is already under surveillance in the battlefield beyond domains. Once it suddenly disappears, it will definitely trigger a major storm.”
“All the soldiers stationed at the Star Tower in the battlefield beyond domains, the soldiers from the four factions, hundreds of thousands of immortal kings including you, none will escape!” the towering old man said.
Luo Feng listened in shock.
Hundreds of thousands of immortals, including himself, none would escape.
Indeed.
Such a Supreme Treasure would attract the most terrifying beings in the universe. With their means, who could escape? Even the Cosmic Sovereigns of the human race would likely not easily let Luo Feng and others go, considering his identity… Obtaining a Supreme Treasure like the Mosha Wings, which even helps Cosmic Sovereigns little, might still be acceptable.
But the Star Tower, a Supreme Treasure that even the strongest covet, one of the strongest Supreme Treasures, was absolutely beyond Luo Feng’s qualifications to possess.
The Founding Master of the Axe, the Lord of Chaos City…
One by one, they would consider the interests of the human race.
They would take the Star Tower from Luo Feng and then give it to one of the powerful Cosmic Sovereigns of the human race. It was even possible that the Founding Master of the Axe might use it.
“Unless you possess strength equal to theirs. Without that strength, don’t even think of moving the Star Tower,” the towering old man said solemnly. “If you can truly activate the Star Tower, you’ll nearly have the strength to speak as their equal. With the backing of the human race, you would then be among the highest tiers of the human race, and no one would dare take your treasures. Naturally, you would qualify to possess the Star Tower.”
Luo Feng nodded.
A hot potato.
“You now have three Supreme Treasures,” the towering old man said. “The first, when I first saw you, your aura was completely hidden, making you seem like an immortal god. Only a Supreme Treasure can hide one’s aura. I estimate it’s something given to you by your teacher, the Lord of Chaos City. What he gave you must be a Supreme Treasure of little use to Cosmic Sovereigns but enough to drive Cosmic Kings mad.”
Luo Feng blinked his eyes.
The guess was spot on.
“The second is the Tower Pearl—the crystal bead fused with your soul. The Tower Pearl is the core control of the ‘sealed space’ within the Star Tower. Sealing is the Star Tower’s primary function. The so-called attack techniques of ‘smashing’ and ‘stabbing’ are secondary, and the so-called defense of ‘hiding within the Star Tower’ is also secondary. Sealing super-powerful beings is the main capability.”
“The Tower Pearl itself is barely considered a Supreme Treasure.”
“The Tower Pearl fused with your soul. You should know how to use the Tower Pearl to protect your soul.”
Luo Feng nodded as he listened. The process of fusing the Tower Pearl was unbearably painful, but after fusing, it became incredibly miraculous.
“The third is the Star Chart. Combining numerous Sealed Stars with the Star Map dramatically increases its power, already qualifying it as a low-grade Supreme Treasure. Your current strength cannot simultaneously use too many Sealed Stars. Even with the Soul-Will, I estimate you can only use about ten Sealed Stars.”
“Three Supreme Treasures.”
“All have never appeared in the universe,” the towering elder said. “Since they’ve never appeared, other powerhouses won’t recognize them. As long as you don’t unleash the full power of the Supreme Treasures, other powerhouses won’t even suspect that you possess them.”
Luo Feng nodded.
The Mosha Wings had never appeared in the universe.
The Star Chart, which he was about to fuse with the Sealed Stars, was also a newly created Supreme Treasure.
The Tower Pearl, being one of the cores of the Star Tower, had never been successfully fused by anyone else, so no one knew about it.
These three Supreme Treasures were all barely crossing the threshold from profound treasures into the realm of Supreme Treasures—something Cosmic Sovereigns wouldn’t care much about but that Cosmic Kings would desperately pursue.
“Don’t get too proud. These three low-grade Supreme Treasures combined don’t even compare to a tiny fraction of the Star Tower or the Robe of Tribulation,” the towering old man said.
“Disciple will definitely strive to utilize the Armor of Calamity and the Star Tower as soon as possible,” Luo Feng replied.
“Hmm.” This time, the towering old man nodded.
…
Luo Feng and Puti listened to their teacher’s teachings on the cruise ship and began returning to the hall.
They returned faster, and soon were back inside the hall.
“Teacher, I’ve only obtained two fragments of the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Canon.’ Do you know where the other parts are?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask.
“The ‘Nine Calamities Secret Canon’ can continuously elevate your genetic level, even rivaling some powerful and special cosmic beings,” the towering old man looked down at Luo Feng. “However, if your genetic level surges too drastically, it will definitely attract the attention of many powerful beings. The higher your strength, the more qualified you are to possess special treasures.”
“There are a total of five fragments of the Tianhun crystal tablet from the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Canon.'”
“You’ve already obtained two. I’ve placed the other three in dangerous locations throughout the universe. You can retrieve one when you reach the Monarch level, another when you become an immortal, and the final one after becoming a Cosmic Sovereign,” the towering old man looked down at Luo Feng. “These three dangerous locations will become increasingly perilous.”
“When you become a Cosmic Sovereign and obtain the final fragment, completing the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Canon’… I estimate you’ll be very close to fully activating the Star Tower.”
“These are the cosmic coordinates of the three metal tablets, each with a brief description of the dangerous locations.”
The towering old man pointed toward Luo Feng from afar. A beam of light flew toward Luo Feng, directly entering his mind, flooding him with information. Luo Feng now understood everything clearly.
“Apprentice, don’t die in these three dangerous locations,” the towering old man said.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng understood clearly.
“Everything is arranged. I’ve made ample preparations for you. With three Supreme Treasures bound to your body and the Armor and Soul-Will guarding you… from now on, your fate rests entirely in your own hands. I will offer no further assistance in the future,” the towering elder said. “I await the day when you can fully awaken the complete Star Tower.”
Then the space slightly vibrated.
The towering old man had already disappeared.
…
Inside the hall, only Luo Feng and Puti remained.
“Senior Brother, I’m ashamed to admit that I still don’t know the teacher’s name,” Luo Feng quickly said. He hadn’t dared to ask before.
“Ha ha…”
Puti, coiled on the hall’s throne, laughed. “No one knows the teacher’s real name. However, since the teacher often sits on mountain peaks, traversing the endless cosmos, the supreme beings of the vast universe gave the teacher a codename—’Sitting Mountain Guest.'”
“Your second senior brother, originally named Cao Benqi, is known among the supreme powerhouses of the universe as the ‘Flame Emperor.'”
“One of the universe’s strongest—’Sitting Mountain Guest,’ and the leader of the Yan God Clan—’Yan Emperor,'” Luo Feng memorized silently.
“The Earth lineage finally has a leader. Now that matters are settled, I’m much more relaxed. Third Brother… I’ll take my leave first,” Puti smiled slightly. The surrounding space vibrated, and he vanished into thin air.
Inside the hall.
Only Luo Feng remained, softly chuckling, “My teacher, at least one of the universe’s strongest—’Sitting Mountain Guest’—truly has a relaxed approach to teaching disciples. From now until I fully activate the Star Tower, he won’t interfere with me at all.”
