In a remote region of the universe, over 90 billion light-years away from the human race, Luo Feng first used his divine nation to teleport to the nearest coordinates, then relied on instantaneous movement, taking two days to finally arrive.
“Is this where the teacher lives?”
Luo Feng, clad in silver armor and wings, with the Blood Shadow Blade on his back, stood in the pitch-black starry sky.
Looking at the surroundings…
Complete darkness, not a glimmer of light, no stars, absolute silence and coldness.
“The void of the universe?” Luo Feng murmured to himself. During the universe’s evolution, galaxies were born one after another, each galaxy separated by vast distances. Multiple galaxies formed a “stellar region,” with even greater distances between regions. The distances between stellar zones were even vaster.
As for the human territory and other domains, there were also vast, empty, dark expanses.
Even in the universe, there were void regions with diameters of hundreds of millions, even billions of light-years, completely dark and silent. With Luo Feng’s power, his vision couldn’t detect even a hint of light—this void was terrifyingly vast.
“Apprentice, come in already,” a voice echoed in Luo Feng’s ear.
Luo Feng immediately turned his head.
Whoosh!
A dazzling, golden, elaborate, and delicate bridge appeared, seemingly made of transparent crystal. Luo Feng flew directly towards it, landed on the bridge, and walked toward its end. With each step, he felt intense spatial changes.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng immediately checked his cosmic coordinates, shocked to find that each step he took on the bridge crossed millions of light-years.
From one end of the bridge to the other.
His cosmic coordinates had shifted 1.2 billion light-years.
At the bridge’s end was an exquisite pond, with various fish swimming inside.
“This isn’t right,” Luo Feng looked back. The bridge he had walked on appeared only a hundred meters long, yet it spanned 1.2 billion light-years. The pond in front of him was hundreds of meters in diameter… but with Luo Feng’s divine sense, he realized this was no ordinary pond or fish—it was a domain-class treasure of immense power!
Walking along the pond, flower beds and lawns lined the sides.
“This isn’t right,” Luo Feng examined closely. Each blade of grass was actually an ancient, colossal tree. Even the small decorative stones beside them were metallic materials as large as stars.
“Incredible.”
“The control over cosmic space is unbelievable,” Luo Feng marveled as he walked. His teacher’s residence was very serene. The exquisite palace and pond were flight palace-class and domain-class treasures, respectively. Other items were mostly various precious materials.
…
Entering the palace, Luo Feng arrived at a garden and saw the Sitting Mountain Hermit holding a stone, stroking it with his eyes closed.
“Teacher,” Luo Feng respectfully approached and bowed.
The Sitting Mountain Hermit opened his eyes, placed the stone aside, and smiled at Luo Feng. “You arrived rather quickly.”
“Teacher, this place is too remote. Otherwise, I could have come earlier,” Luo Feng smiled. “Teacher, why did you choose this place as your residence?”
“Peaceful.”
The Sitting Mountain Hermit said, “This void spans over a billion light-years in diameter. Though it’s empty and desolate, unfit for habitation by any race. But as a lone wanderer, this place suits me well. Besides, this is just one of my residences in the original universe. By the way, where’s your loot?”
“What do you mean loot?” Luo Feng sighed but took out the pair of divine hammers used by the Lord of Submerged Fire, the armor, and the green seed.
“What do you want?” The Sitting Mountain Hermit asked.
“A peak treasure war blade,” Luo Feng replied.
The pair of divine hammers he took out were top-tier treasures with amplifying power, the armor was also a top-tier treasure, and the green seed was merely an ordinary soul-class treasure (valued at 60 treasure points in the human race, nearly equivalent to a top-tier weapon treasure).
“Not enough.”
The Sitting Mountain Hermit looked at Luo Feng. “I won’t take advantage of you at all. I’ll charge you thirty percent less than you’d pay in your race. But what you’ve brought is clearly insufficient.”
“Add the Blood Shadow Blade,” Luo Feng took out the war blade from his back. Since he was getting a new blade, he no longer needed this one.
The Sitting Mountain Hermit still shook his head.
“Teacher,” Luo Feng widened his eyes.
“I only have one peak treasure war blade,” the Sitting Mountain Hermit said. “Though it’s not the finest among peak treasures, your few treasures still fall short.”
Luo Feng frowned. All his treasures were in use, except for those stored in the Blood Cloud Hall’s treasure chamber. Although he had obtained many ordinary treasures from the Lord of Submerged Fire, he had categorized them under the Blood Cloud Hall. After all, he owed the Blood Cloud Hall’s treasure chamber something. Oh, right! In the Lord of Submerged Fire’s world ring, there was also a high-tier treasure and the token of the Zhenchang Valley.
“Add these two,” Luo Feng took out an azure and golden mottled shield and the crystal token of the Zhenchang Valley.
“The token of the Zhenchang Valley?” The Sitting Mountain Hermit smiled upon seeing it. “I’ve been bored lately. Venturing into the Zhenchang Valley might be fun. Alright, with these two, it’s barely enough.”
“Teacher, you’re going to the Zhenchang Valley?” Luo Feng widened his eyes.
The Zhenchang Valley contained treasures of the Sword River Luo level, though not complete.
Luo Feng had the Qijing Stone and was more eager about the Qishen Palace, so he had no great ambition for the Zhenchang Valley. For a peak treasure weapon in hand, skipping the Zhenchang Valley wasn’t a big deal! This was a peak treasure weapon… probably not much different from the Sword River Luo.
“So what, can’t I go?” The Sitting Mountain Hermit stood up.
“Life is long; one must find some fun,” the Sitting Mountain Hermit walked toward the distance and shouted, “Hurry up, don’t you want your peak treasure war blade anymore?”
Luo Feng quickly followed.
…
This was a uniquely decorated hall. The entire hall’s walls were covered with numerous carvings, depicting various scenes—two powerful beings battling on a vast plain, powerful warriors slaying crowds of enemies… Ancient aura and pressure radiated from each carving, creating a strange atmosphere throughout the hall.
“It feels like being on a battlefield,” Luo Feng felt his blood boiling, a strong urge to fight rising within him. This made Luo Feng secretly astonished, “Even my will is being affected.”
“All the items placed in this hall are treasures, including the decorations. Most of them are ordinary treasures,” the Sitting Mountain Hermit explained.
Luo Feng scanned the hall.
Inside the hall were numerous display cases, each holding various items—blades, swords, ropes, chains, shuttles, maces, hammers, axes, bells, pagodas, ships, balls, flowers, grass, cloth, shields, statues, cubes… all kinds of strange and unique items, numbering in the thousands, scattered throughout the hall.
“All treasures?” Luo Feng was amazed.
“All of them, even the display cases,” the Sitting Mountain Hermit smiled. “Ordinary treasures are just casually made by me, holding no value. Things like communication tokens, decorations, display items… usually are ordinary treasures.”
Luo Feng was secretly stunned.
Even the Lord of Craftsmen wouldn’t dare to say such a thing. Only the Sitting Mountain Hermit could claim that ordinary treasures were casually made.
“Which one is mine?” Luo Feng asked.
“In the corner,” the Sitting Mountain Hermit pointed.
Following the direction, Luo Feng immediately spotted a seemingly ordinary war blade in the corner. He walked over. The scabbard was grayish-brown, with some purely ornamental carvings. As Luo Feng reached out to touch it, a torrent of overwhelming malevolence instantly surged into him.
Boom!
In an endless dark space, this war blade, several ten thousand kilometers long, floated horizontally. As the blade slowly unsheathed, terrifying malevolence continuously invaded Luo Feng’s will.
Clang! The war blade was fully unsheathed, releasing a sky-piercing murderous intent.
At this moment, Luo Feng’s divine power’s life imprint completely embedded itself into the blade.
“Blade name… Jueke!” Luo Feng whispered.
“You can use it for now. This blade is enough for you,” the Sitting Mountain Hermit said. “Of course, the most suitable for you would be a peak treasure war blade forged with your ‘Golden Horn Realm Stone’ as the core… This Golden Horn Realm Stone is the condensed essence of infinite gold from your inner world. Once forged into a weapon, it will be most suitable for you. However, it also requires an extraordinary amount of materials, which you currently can’t provide.”
“Golden Horn Realm Stone?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. So the teacher had already made plans.
“The Golden Horn Realm Stone is the condensed essence of infinite gold from a trillion-kilometer inner world. It is a limit of metal materials within the original universe. At least within the original universe, it is the top-tier metal. Only in the cosmic sea could you find better. However… for you personally, a weapon forged from the Golden Horn Realm Stone is the most suitable for you.”
Luo Feng quickly asked, “What materials are needed?”
“When you kill a cosmic monarch, or ten top-tier cosmic overlords, then we’ll talk,” the Sitting Mountain Hermit said. “This peak treasure war blade ‘Jueke’ was painstakingly forged by your teacher. Don’t let it down.”
“Understood.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“Alright, you may return now,” the Sitting Mountain Hermit didn’t even bother to keep Luo Feng.
“Yes.”
Since the teacher had said so, Luo Feng immediately bowed and quickly left.
Watching Luo Feng leave, the Sitting Mountain Hermit returned to his garden, sat down, picked up the stone again, looked at it, and softly sighed, “When will I be able to take the next step…”
…
Shortly after Luo Feng returned to his divine nation and began familiarizing himself with the immense power of the peak treasure war blade ‘Jueke,’ he received an email from the Chaos City Lord of the virtual universe.
“Luofeng, you’ve already dealt with the matters on the Origin Star, yet you haven’t come to see me. Don’t you know that the cosmic monarchs of the human race haven’t rested because of you? Hurry over here.” Upon receiving the email, Luofeng’s eyes lit up, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
He naturally guessed that the high-ranking officials of the human race would hold an emergency meeting to discuss his affairs after the incident on the Origin Star. Now that his teacher had summoned him, it seemed there was a result.
“Teacher calls me the Lord of the Blade River?” Luofeng didn’t have time to think about anything else. Instantly, his consciousness connected to the virtual universe.
