Although it is common knowledge in the universe that attempting to claim ownership of a treasure with one’s life essence poses no danger— at worst, the attempt simply fails— Luo Feng was different from other powerful beings. He had previously bonded with the Starry Tower, and he clearly understood how perilous it was to claim ownership of the Starry Tower. If he were killed and another powerful being obtained the Tower Pearl, and if that being carelessly attempted to claim it, the Tower Pearl could be enough to cause their demise.
Therefore, when the Winged Treasure Spirit’s will reached Luo Feng’s mind and began communicating with him, Luo Feng was extremely cautious. He was wary of losing his life while attempting to claim an ultimate treasure. Thus, he repeatedly pondered the words of the Winged Treasure Spirit.
Conditions for claiming ownership?
1. Perfect genetic composition. 2. One’s will must be strong enough?
He met both conditions!
He possessed a perfect genetic composition and was a Cosmic Sovereign, with the will of a Cosmic Monarch!
“Just see what tricks it has up its sleeve,” Luo Feng muttered inwardly.
A faint ripple spread, permeating Luo Feng’s mind.
The two continued their communication.
“Hahaha, those two conditions you mentioned?” Luo Feng exclaimed joyfully. “I meet both! My life’s genetic level has already reached perfection, and I am a Cosmic Sovereign!”
“You meet both? You’re actually a Cosmic Sovereign? Aren’t you a Cosmic Monarch?”
“I am a Cosmic Sovereign,” Luo Feng affirmed.
“You’d better not lie. If you don’t meet the conditions, you won’t succeed in claiming ownership,” said the Winged Treasure Spirit.
“Buzzzzz~~~”
The four wings behind Luo Feng vibrated violently. In fact, even earlier, when outside in the cave, the Shi Wu Wings had struggled intensely. After coming to this mysterious space for several months, the Shi Wu Wings had constantly vibrated, and as they drew closer, the vibrations became even more intense. Luo Feng could barely prevent the Shi Wu Wings from flying away.
“I’m not lying. My genetic level is indeed perfect, and I am a Cosmic Sovereign,” Luo Feng quickly replied. “I meet the conditions, but I simply cannot claim ownership. My divine power cannot even approach you.”
“You’re referring to that wild willpower trying to stop you?”
“The wild willpower from the three bloodstains,” the Winged Treasure Spirit explained. “It is being suppressed by me and gradually expelled, so it is struggling. Naturally, it doesn’t want any other life form near me. Once I have an owner, with my master’s help, my recovery will accelerate, and it will be expelled even faster. Therefore, it will try every means possible to hinder you.”
“I see,” Luo Feng said.
“As for claiming ownership, it’s simple. Although you cannot approach me, I can let a core component of mine fly out. If you can grab that core component and make it acknowledge you, then naturally, I will have acknowledged you as my master,” the Winged Treasure Spirit explained.
Luo Feng replied eagerly, “Yes, yes! I can’t approach you, but if your core component flies out, I’m sure I can catch it.”
“Humans, why should I trust you?” the Winged Treasure Spirit asked.
“What?” Luo Feng was taken aback.
“I am damaged and need to recover. I require some precious treasure materials to restore myself. I also hope my master will help me,” the Winged Treasure Spirit said. “I previously mentioned that whoever helps me restore myself, I will acknowledge as my master. Now, I need you to demonstrate your sincerity by providing me with precious treasure materials to help me recover.”
“Precious treasure materials?” Luo Feng was surprised.
“At least materials used to forge peak treasures,” the Winged Treasure Spirit replied.
“Where would I get such materials?” Luo Feng quickly replied.
“Or you can offer one peak treasure,” the Winged Treasure Spirit suggested. “I know you have a peak treasure. For example, the war blade on your back.”
Luo Feng hesitated slightly.
“I need to restore myself! With me, why would you still need that war blade? I will definitely be much stronger than it is,” the Winged Treasure Spirit said, showing signs of irritation. “This is your moment to show sincerity. Give me precious treasure materials. I will absorb some of them and then give you my core component.”
“You don’t even have this much sincerity?”
“You currently lose one peak treasure, but the more you invest in me, the more you will value me, and the more precious materials you will invest in me in the future,” the Winged Treasure Spirit continued. “I must be certain that you are determined to help me recover. Otherwise, if you don’t help me, once I acknowledge you as my master, I won’t be able to take it back. If you don’t even fulfill this condition, I won’t trust you. I will wait, waiting for the next powerful being to come.”
“Am I the first to come here?” Luo Feng suddenly asked.
“No, two others came before,” the Winged Treasure Spirit replied. “One was a Cosmic Monarch who came not long ago. As soon as he entered, my endless storm of wing-light destroyed his top-tier palace treasure and killed him. The other came much earlier, long, long ago, shortly after I was born and just began thinking. He came in a peak palace treasure and conversed with me for a long time. He was the one who taught me much about the outside world and told me about your Cosmic Monarchs, Cosmic Sovereigns, and so on. He was the first life form I ever saw. At that time, I had very little intelligence and was willing to acknowledge him as my master.”
“Unfortunately!”
“He didn’t have enough willpower to claim ownership, but he often came here to hone his willpower and even helped me search for materials. However, later… he disappeared, and I haven’t seen him for countless eons. He probably perished,” the Winged Treasure Spirit sighed.
Luo Feng listened carefully to the Winged Treasure Spirit’s words, thinking deeply.
Meanwhile, the wild, overbearing will continued to attack: “It’s the wing! It’s the wing! It’s terrifying! It will kill you! It will kill you! If you don’t leave, it will kill you!”
“It will kill you!”
“It will kill you!” the roar echoed repeatedly.
Luo Feng remained calm.
…
“Give me a peak treasure material or a peak treasure,” the Winged Treasure Spirit said. “Show your sincerity. Even if you lose a peak treasure, with your strength, you probably won’t care much. Are you afraid to take this gamble? The will of those three divine bloodstains has frightened you, hasn’t it? That will fears my expelling and destroying it, so it will try every way possible to make you leave.”
“I won’t rush you.”
“You decide for yourself,” the Winged Treasure Spirit fell silent.
Luo Feng quietly contacted his Starry Tower Spirit: “Starry Tower, the white wing just communicated with me and told me the conditions for claiming ownership…” Luo Feng told the Starry Tower Spirit everything. The Starry Tower Spirit had low intelligence, but its processing speed was probably faster than even the strongest beings in the universe.
“Is there a trap?” Luo Feng asked urgently.
“Master, countless Domain Lords and Immortals have entered my tower over endless eons, and even the strongest beings in the universe have come inside me. Although I have gathered much information…” a wave of willpower fluctuation came, the fluctuation of the Starry Tower Spirit. “I don’t know much about other ultimate treasures. I can’t find any trap in what the Winged Treasure Spirit said.”
“Hmm,” Luo Feng nodded.
…
Silence.
The Starry Tower, now shrunk to a hundred meters tall, hovered nearby the white wing.
Actually, hesitation was quite normal. After all, claiming ownership of an ultimate treasure was universally acknowledged as extremely difficult. A powerful being without confidence wouldn’t be willing to part with a peak treasure, which was understandable.
Should he take the gamble?
For ordinary powerful beings, they would take the chance. After all, to even reach the white wing’s presence, one must at least possess a ‘peak palace treasure.’ For a powerful being with such wealth, gambling one peak treasure for an ultimate treasure of immense power was generally worth it, since missing this opportunity meant there would be no next time.
Therefore, the Winged Treasure Spirit wasn’t in a hurry and patiently waited.
…
“I’m not in a hurry either. I’ll use this time to hone my willpower,” Luo Feng thought inwardly. “Since it has set this trap, it will naturally become impatient over time. I’ll see what tricks it has left. As long as I don’t leave the Starry Tower, it can’t do anything to me.”
Luo Feng was 99% certain that the Winged Treasure Spirit was deceiving him.
“Arrogant fool. It doesn’t realize it has already revealed its tail,” Luo Feng muttered inwardly.
“I’ll wait and see for now.”
Luo Feng began silently waiting.
Month after month passed. Luo Feng gradually maneuvered the Starry Tower closer to the white wing, causing the crushing willpower to repeatedly press down violently. This high-intensity willpower pressure was a rare environment for training one’s willpower! Luo Feng repeatedly challenged the limits of his will, advancing step by step.
Before long, six years had passed, and the distance between the Starry Tower and the white wing had narrowed to 15 kilometers.
As the distance decreased, the Shi Wu Wings on Luo Feng’s back vibrated more and more violently. They had never stopped vibrating during these years.
“I… I…”
A ripple suddenly emanated from the Shi Wu Wings.
Luo Feng was startled, and his mind momentarily lost focus. The terrifying willpower pressure that he had barely resisted surged forward with a thunderous roar, forcing Luo Feng to desperately maneuver the Starry Tower backward. He retreated all the way to a distance of 20 kilometers from the white wing before he could easily block the pressure and regain stability.
“What was that ripple?” Luo Feng was somewhat shocked.
“I…”
“I…”
Faint ripples continuously emanated from the Shi Wu Wings on his back.
“Shi Wu Wings? Shi Wu Wings?” Luo Feng showed a shocked expression. His Shi Wu Wings had produced ripples. Could it have developed a spirit? Could a top-tier special treasure develop a spirit? No, rather, it was a component of an ultimate treasure! In fact, the white wing could also be considered a component, albeit a more powerful one. If the white wing could develop a spirit early on, there was no reason why his Shi Wu Wings couldn’t develop one.
However, it had never developed one over countless eons. Why did it suddenly develop a spirit now? Luo Feng had been waiting for the white wing spirit’s next move, but instead, his own Shi Wu Wings had developed a spirit.
“I…”
“I…”
The ripples were very faint, as if even transmitting messages was difficult. After a long time, a full six days later, the first message was barely transmitted.
“I… Mas… ter…”
It was as if it were an infant—the spirit of the Shi Wu Wings had just been born and was very fragile. However, Luo Feng was extremely patient. As time passed, the spirit of the Shi Wu Wings gradually became more active. After more than half a year, it finally began to communicate with Luo Feng.
“Master, I want to go out,” a ripple came.
“Go out?” Luo Feng asked. “Go where?”
“I want to eat, eat the light outside!” the ripple said weakly. “The light, it’s the source’s light, the source.”
“What is the source?” Luo Feng asked.
“The source is inside it…” the ripple said faintly. “Fragmented memory, fragmented memory, there are six pairs of wings, six pairs of wings… the source is there, there. I want to eat the source’s light, I, I want to eat the source’s light.”
Luo Feng’s mind thundered, as if struck by lightning.
Wings?
Six pairs of wings?
