Above the endless abyss, a golden temple radiated boundless divine light.
Luo Feng sat cross-legged in front of the temple, his eyes gazing at the endless divine realm. His mind constantly recalled the engravings of secret runes. Occasionally, he revisited the three profound mysteries of instantaneous movement, annihilation, and sealing. Because of the school of secret rune patterns, Luo Feng’s created secret techniques already contained complete space laws. Therefore, recalling those engravings subtly stirred something within him.
“Just a little bit more, just a little bit more.”
“That feeling is getting closer.”
“It feels like I could comprehend and break through at any moment, yet it’s just a little bit more.” Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brows and stopped his cultivation because his consciousness connected to the virtual universe received an email, and it was a very important one.
In the email settings,
ordinary friends’ emails were set to be blocked from disturbing him. Only emails from important figures like his wife, son, and teacher could bypass the virtual assistant’s filter to interrupt his cultivation.
“Master Chaos wants to see me?”
“He wants to see me?”
“Could it be…” Luo Feng’s mind stirred with a thought, and he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
…
In the Thunder Island of the virtual universe, beneath the endless chaotic currents, there was a winding corridor behind the palace where Luo Feng walked side by side with Master Chaos along the corridor.
“Teacher, you summoned me but didn’t say what it’s about, making your disciple anxious,” Luo Feng spoke.
“Your master hasn’t spoken because I’m thinking about how to convince you. Luo Feng, you should have already guessed what this is about,” Master Chaos looked at Luo Feng.
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng nodded immediately, “When I was in Chaos City, I had the virtual universe system identify the Qijing stone… I knew something like this might happen. Before that, I naively hoped the virtual universe system would keep it a secret and not disclose the information.” Before the identification, Luo Feng hadn’t expected that the Qijing stone was what Lord Fanuo desired.
If the importance had been slightly less, it wouldn’t have caused such a big commotion. After the identification was completed… Luo Feng knew it was the Qijing stone, but by then it was already too late.
“The virtual universe system generally keeps things secret,” Master Chaos said. “This matter also went through its careful logical judgment. In the end, it was confirmed that this matter affects the entire race, so it chose to transmit the information to each and every one of us, the Sovereigns of the Universe.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“The current situation is very straightforward.”
Master Chaos walked to a dining table outside the corridor and casually summoned servants. Two servants respectfully brought exquisite delicacies, “Luo Feng, sit down, let’s talk while seated.”
Luo Feng followed and sat down. Looking at the food and drinks on the table, he realized that Master Chaos clearly valued this matter, as the preparations were extremely meticulous. In the past, when he talked with his teacher, it was usually on the cliffside in front of the palace or inside the grand hall, never like this time where they went to the corridor behind the palace and even sat down specially to chat.
“The situation is straightforward,” Master Chaos said, “because you appraised a treasure in Chaos City, the virtual universe system transmitted the information to the Founder of the Human Race, the Great Axe, and all other Sovereigns of the Universe.” Master Chaos looked at Luo Feng, “In other words… the highest echelons of our human race now all know.”
“We have made a resolution regarding how to handle this matter.”
Luo Feng’s ears twitched, a resolution? He immediately looked at his teacher.
Seeing his reaction, Master Chaos said, “I believe you can already guess the outcome.”
“What outcome?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask.
“The human race really needs this Qijing stone,” Master Chaos said solemnly. “The Qijing stone is connected to a supreme treasure. ‘Qishen Hall’ is the biggest treasure during the entire Primitive Star opening period. This treasure is of great significance! Although our human race is powerful, we don’t have a supreme treasure to anchor our strength. Gaining a treasure at the level of a peak domain supreme treasure would be a tremendous benefit to our human race.”
“No supreme treasure to anchor our strength?” Luo Feng was stunned.
The human race…
No supreme treasure…
“Do we humans really not have a supreme treasure?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask.
Master Chaos hesitated slightly and shook his head, “No, we once had it, but not anymore.”
“We once had it?” Luo Feng became even more puzzled. There seemed to be a story behind this. However, according to the information he had viewed on the virtual universe network, he was indeed able to access many important pieces of information given his current status. From the information he had seen, supreme treasures were extremely rare in the universe.
According to the teachings of the Sage of Sitting Mountains, even the strongest beings in the universe, some of them did not possess supreme treasures! Supreme treasures were so powerful that even the strongest beings could be driven mad by them.
Even the most powerful faction, the Ancestral God Sect, possessed a supreme treasure as its foundational artifact.
From these examples, one could see how rare supreme treasures were. Yet Luo Feng had not expected that the Hong Alliance and the human race, which had always seemed immensely powerful, did not possess a supreme treasure.
“That’s right,” Master Chaos looked at Luo Feng. “Among the nine great superpowers in the universe, five possess supreme treasures, but our human race does not.”
Luo Feng felt a sense of urgency.
The lack of a supreme treasure was a significant weakness for the human race.
“Therefore, the treasure connected to the Qijing stone should be comparable to the most important treasure of our human race,” Master Chaos looked at Luo Feng. “Moreover, almost all the Sovereigns of the Universe believe that… if the Qijing stone remains in your hands and you enter the Qishen Hall, the outcome might be very poor. However, if this Qijing stone is given to the Founder of the Great Axe to enter, there would be a much higher chance of success.”
“The Founder of the Great Axe?” Luo Feng’s heart trembled. That was the strongest being in the universe!
“Of course, we won’t force you,” Master Chaos raised his wine glass, looking at the wine inside, “everything depends on your willingness.” Then he looked up at Luo Feng, his eyes gazing directly, “Teacher hopes you can help the race one more time.”
Luo Feng was deeply moved.
Help?
He wasn’t a fool. After cultivating to his current level and wandering the universe for fifty thousand years, Luo Feng had gained an extremely clear insight into the various schemes and intrigues in the universe. In fact, the moment Master Chaos summoned him, he had already guessed much of what was going to happen. However, Master Chaos’s negotiation method could be described as straightforward and honorable.
There were no other underhanded methods. Instead, he directly analyzed the entire situation, telling Luo Feng everything, and then earnestly, with the dignity of a Sovereign of the Universe and as a teacher, asked Luo Feng to help the race one more time!
This made it difficult for Luo Feng to refuse immediately.
“Teacher.” Luo Feng spoke.
Master Chaos looked at Luo Feng.
“There are a total of 36 Qijing stones scattered among 10,081 Primitive Stars. Could it be that our human race hasn’t obtained even one?” Luo Feng asked.
“No.” Master Chaos raised his head and drank a cup of wine. From this question, he could already sense that Luo Feng was somewhat unwilling. Then he put down the wine cup, “The number of strong individuals in our human race is only a small portion of the entire universe. For example, the Northern Border Alliance is the alliance with the largest number of strong individuals in the entire universe. The number of Cosmic Sovereigns they possess is over a hundred times that of our Hong Alliance! With so many strong individuals spread across various Primitive Stars, the probability of obtaining Qijing stones naturally increases. I estimate that the Northern Border Alliance might have obtained at most one or two Qijing stones. After all, compared to the entire universe, the Northern Border Alliance is still a small part.”
“If even the Northern Border Alliance may have only obtained one or two Qijing stones, how many could our human race have?” Master Chaos looked at Luo Feng.
“So few?” Luo Feng was startled.
Yes.
The number of inheritors and Cosmic Sovereigns in the Hong Alliance was far less than that of the Northern Border Alliance. During this time on the Primitive Star, more than 20 Cosmic Sovereigns from the Northern Border Alliance had died by Luo Feng’s hands.
“There are also many top forces in the universe, such as the Nine Realms Alliance and the Thorn Ring Alliance, as well as other weaker allied forces… although they are weak, their numbers are numerous. Therefore, among the 36 Qijing stones, many will be obtained by these forces. Then, through the 36 channels of the Qishen Hall, they will enter separately… and those forces might end up obtaining powerful treasures.
“Perhaps, this is a balancing mechanism of the universe.”
Luo Feng listened and silently nodded.
…
Master Chaos looked at Luo Feng: “Give me an answer. Are you willing or not?”
“Teacher, your disciple is unwilling,” Luo Feng replied directly.
Master Chaos slightly furrowed his brow, then relaxed again: “You are unwilling? This time, among the 36 powerful individuals entering the Qishen Hall, there might be slightly fewer, as some powerful individuals who obtained the Qijing stone didn’t even recognize it. However, those who do enter… more than half will be Cosmic Sovereigns or even the strongest beings in the universe. The others should be top-tier cosmic overlords or cosmic overlords. If one doesn’t even have the strength of a cosmic overlord, they simply won’t have the qualifications to enter! This is a rule from every previous Primitive Star opening, the grandest treasure each time. And in the end, those who obtain the supreme treasure… are almost always Cosmic Sovereigns or the strongest beings in the universe!”
“Do you know… what the strongest beings in the universe are?” Master Chaos looked at Luo Feng. “Even your teacher might perish if encountering them. They are the most terrifying and powerful existences in the universe.”
“Are you still going?” Master Chaos asked urgently.
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.
It was precisely because he now understood the detailed situation, knowing that the Qijing stones were not distributed according to strength, but randomly… allowing both powerful and weak factions of the universe to obtain them. Additionally, since they would enter through different channels, he could completely take a chance.
Needless to say, according to history, every time the greatest treasure was obtained during the opening of the Primitive Star, it was almost always by Cosmic Sovereigns or the strongest beings in the universe!
“If I ascend to the Cosmic Sovereign level.”
“My divine body will become much stronger, and my Armor of Tribulation can even activate its third form!”
“Moreover, I might be able to obtain the fifth black metal plate. At that time, according to what Teacher Sitting Mountain said… the fifth black metal plate might give me a rather unexpected situation. However, regardless, I will then be able to activate the Star Tower. Even if I encounter the strongest being in the universe, I can hide inside the Star Tower, and he still won’t be able to do anything to me!”
The Star Tower… is a supreme treasure!
The human race does not possess a supreme treasure. The Star Tower, without a master’s control, was placed in the battlefield beyond the domain, causing a war among the four peak races and driving the strongest beings in the universe into a frenzy, yet no one could take it away.
This is the power!
Relying on the Star Tower… Luo Feng naturally fears no existence.
Since this is the case! Since he has such confidence, of course, he must personally venture into the Qishen Hall! Strengthening himself will also strengthen the race.
“Don’t you think your strength is insufficient?” Master Chaos couldn’t help but say, “It’s too dangerous for you to go.”
“Teacher.”
Luo Feng looked at Master Chaos, “Your disciple currently possesses the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord.”
