Luo Feng and Qianyu of the Heiwu Clan transformed into streaks of light and quickly flew away. The entire Treasure Land was extremely vast and expansive. Large lakes nestled between mountains could span over a million kilometers, illustrating just how immense this Treasure Land truly was.
“We could keep flying forever. Let’s teleport,” suggested Qianyu of the Heiwu Clan.
“Alright,” Luo Feng agreed.
The Mosha Clan clone formed a metal shard between the Mo Yun War Armor and Jiang Jia. Then, almost simultaneously, the two of them activated teleportation. Qianyu of the Heiwu Clan teleported first, while Luo Feng sensed his location and followed closely behind. Although long-distance teleportation usually made it difficult to sense exact coordinates accurately, the distance they traveled was not particularly far.
…
Deep within a remote mountain range in the Treasure Land, Luo Feng and Qianyu of the Heiwu Clan reappeared together. Qianyu looked down from above and pointed toward a distant valley. “Let’s go into that valley. I reckon there are plenty of people looking for you right now. In this secluded spot, we can at least have some peace for now.”
“Haha,” Luo Feng chuckled and nodded. He dove down together with Qianyu of the Heiwu Clan into the deep valley.
Inside the valley, there was a stream with gently flowing water.
Luo Feng and Qianyu of the Heiwu Clan landed beside the stream.
“Hua, are you really Daohe?” Qianyu of the Heiwu Clan asked, unable to suppress his curiosity.
Luo Feng looked at him. “You want to know?”
“I didn’t mean it that way,” Qianyu hurriedly replied. “I don’t mean to pry into your secrets. I’m just really curious. Daohe’s reputation is immense. A Monarch-level being capable of killing a peak Sovereign is something only a unique life form like Zhulong, who stands alone in the cosmos, could achieve. I’m sure there are many others in the universe who are just as curious about you.”
Luo Feng smiled and nodded. “You can consider me Daohe if you like.”
“You’re not?” Qianyu was taken aback. “Could it be that—”
Qianyu’s eyes lit up in astonishment. “Could you be a fake one created by the human race to mislead those who want to kill Daohe? Ah, brilliant! That’s a brilliant strategy indeed. That way, any effort they expend would be wasted, while protecting the real Daohe. And with your abilities, your race must ensure that you can be revived through time reversal.”
“Qianyu’s imagination is quite vivid,” Luo Feng mused.
Seeing that Luo Feng remained silent, Qianyu quickly added, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. But wait—could you be intentionally misleading me? Perhaps you really are Daohe! Truth and deception intertwined, all meant to confuse me.”
“You can think however you like,” Luo Feng smiled. “You can call me Hua, or you can call me Daohe—I’ll answer either.”
“You—” Qianyu was left helpless by the response.
“Forget that for now. I came to the Treasure Land because I’m genuinely curious about the treasures here,” Luo Feng changed the subject, looking around the valley. The scenery was indeed beautiful, with steep and perilous canyon walls in the distance, strange and exotic plants growing on the cliffs, bizarre rock formations, and streams trickling everywhere.
He observed for a long time.
“Where are the treasures?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask. “I’ve been in the Treasure Land for quite a while, yet I haven’t seen any treasures.”
“Treasures are everywhere,” Qianyu teased. “Of course, you wouldn’t be able to see them.”
“What do you mean?” Luo Feng asked curiously.
“You really don’t know anything, you rookie. If you enter the Glory World and spend time chatting with many of our friends in the Hong Alliance, you’ll naturally learn more. Let me explain the basics to you,” Qianyu said, pointing around. “The supreme experts of the Ancestral God Sect can leave behind some treasures hidden in certain locations. After hiding them, they set conditions. Any expert who meets those conditions will automatically trigger the treasure’s opening upon approaching it.”
“Automatically open?” Luo Feng asked in confusion. “How can a treasure—a lifeless object—know whether we meet the conditions or not?”
“You really don’t understand this,” Qianyu said, pointing to the sky. “The entire area covered by the Five-Color Aurora Lake is under the control of the Ancestral God Sect. As long as you’re within this region, any action you take will be detected by the Ancestral God Sect’s hidden surveillance system.”
Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. That made sense. In the Star Tower, he could observe everything happening within, knowing exactly where each expert was and what they were doing. The Five-Color Aurora Lake was likely the same.
“What level has your Beast God inheritance reached? What is the strength of your divine power? What soul vibration techniques and divine body vibration techniques have you displayed in the Glory World? Naturally, you would intentionally showcase these abilities,” Qianyu continued. “And the control system of the Glory World should be connected to the system of the Five-Color Aurora Lake. In short, this control system gathers all your information. Once you meet the conditions for opening a certain treasure and approach its location, the treasure will automatically open.”
“So, obtaining a treasure depends on two main factors: first, meeting the conditions, and second, reaching the treasure’s location.”
Qianyu smiled. “Therefore, you should try to display your unique abilities as much as possible in the Glory World or even secretly within your own estate. Although your estate is your domain, the control system will still know everything you do there.”
“Remember, you must display your strength—otherwise, the control system won’t be able to gather the information,” Qianyu emphasized.
Luo Feng nodded thoughtfully.
In the Star Tower, he had a similar experience. He could observe the experts inside the tower constantly, but he could only do so much. He couldn’t probe into their souls or discover secrets within their bodies. He could only gather information from the surface.
“For example, if you, Daohe, are truly a Monarch, you could temporarily reveal your Monarch status within your own estate,” Qianyu explained. “Monarchs who come here are extremely rare—probably fewer than ten since the birth of the universe. Each one of them is an extraordinary being capable of defeating Sovereigns. That’s what makes you so unique. There might even be treasures specifically set to open only for a Monarch.”
“Haha…” Luo Feng chuckled, though his mind was already racing with ideas based on Qianyu’s explanation.
“I should gather more information and data in the Glory World later. Us rookies just don’t know enough,” Luo Feng mused.
…
While Luo Feng and Qianyu of the Heiwu Clan were hiding in a remote valley at the edge of the Treasure Land, the entire Treasure Land was bustling with activity. The news of Daohe’s appearance in the Treasure Land and his battle with Beishan Venerable spread with astonishing speed. Especially through the virtual world, Glory World, the initial audience of only tens of thousands of observers quickly multiplied into millions of inheritors who learned about the event. Some experts remained unaware because they had shut off their information reception channels to focus on intensive cultivation.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
One after another, figures emerged from the teleportation channels.
“Where is Daohe?”
“Where is the human Daohe?” The newly arrived experts in the Treasure Land were all eager to see the legendary Daohe, famous across countless races in the universe.
“He escaped.”
“Daohe and Qianyu of the Heiwu Clan escaped together.”
“Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? Are you certain that human was really Daohe?”
“There’s no mistake. Many experts from various races have confirmed it. The human race only has one race, and the number of Sovereigns is limited. Truly talented Sovereigns are even rarer. It’s already amazing that one Daohe exists. Could there possibly be another hidden and powerful Sovereign? Think about it—what are the odds? Coincidentally, Daohe also cultivates the Beast God Path. Could there really be two peerless geniuses hiding their identities, rising in the same era, both cultivating the Beast God Path? Haha, only a fool would believe that. It must be Daohe.”
“That makes sense. Let’s go, let’s go. We should meet Daohe quickly. I heard that the Yao Clan, Mechanical Clan, and Insect Clan have placed extremely high bounties on him. Especially the Yao Clan, who have even offered a Treasure of the Heavens, although it barely meets the criteria for such a treasure and is of no use to the supreme Cosmic Sovereigns. But it has driven the Cosmic Sovereigns into a frenzy.”
…
Although the Treasure Land was vast and immense, with so many experts present, it didn’t take long before someone spotted Luo Feng and Qianyu.
“Look, isn’t that Qianyu?”
“Yes, it’s him. The human in black armor beside him must be Daohe.”
“Daohe is a Monarch? But why can’t I sense it?”
“They say Daohe has a Treasure of the Heavens that conceals his Monarch aura.” Suddenly, three figures dove down swiftly and headed directly toward the valley.
Luo Feng and Qianyu looked up and saw the three figures almost instantly appear before them.
“Still found us,” Luo Feng shook his head. He had hoped to explore the countless treasures hidden in this place freely, but now it seemed that wouldn’t be possible.
“Daohe.”
“Daohe.”
The three figures were about 1.6 meters tall, with broad shoulders and extremely muscular bodies, as if they carried shields on their backs. They had six thick arms and six eyes, all staring curiously at Luo Feng, eager to see the human who could kill a peak Sovereign while still a Monarch.
“Are you Daohe?” Suddenly, one of them, wearing dark green armor, asked.
“He obviously is.”
“Of course he is.” The other two companions answered directly.
Seeing this, Luo Feng smiled. “Three experts from the Tabai Clan, looking for Daohe?”
“Don’t deny it. The human race can’t possibly have two peerless geniuses in the same era, both hidden geniuses, and both cultivating the Beast God Path,” said one of the Tabai Clan experts wearing deep purple armor.
“Daohe,” the Tabai Clan expert in dark green armor stared at Luo Feng. “I’ve heard your legends, but I don’t believe them! The human race’s life genes have always been ordinary; you’re not a special life form. Even if your comprehension of the laws is high, even if your secret techniques are powerful, if your body and soul aren’t strong enough, you definitely wouldn’t be able to defeat a peak Sovereign, let alone kill one. The legend says you’re a Monarch—I don’t believe it! This must be a rumor deliberately spread by your race!”
