Luo Feng was indeed shocked upon seeing the treasure list, but it was still within his capacity to accept. Firstly, the inheritance memory of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast contained numerous secret techniques, though they were suitable only for the Golden-Horned Giant Beast itself. Secondly, many treasures and secret techniques meant little more than names to Luo Feng, as he couldn’t grasp what those names truly represented.
But it was different for Babata!
Babata had followed the master of Yimo Star, Huyan Bo, battling across countless star systems, enduring life-and-death trials repeatedly, and witnessing the brutal fights among countless powerful experts. It fully understood the meaning behind those names.
A single secret technique could lead to the downfall of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
A single treasure could drive tens of thousands of Immortals into madness.
…
Babata could see the true implications behind this vast collection of treasures, and thus was utterly overwhelmed.
“Madness, sheer madness,” the imp whispered, his gaze fixed on the laptop screen, eyes shimmering with unshed tears. “Master, had you but knelt and pledged yourself to that lord back then—even as a mere fringe disciple of the Virtual Universe Corporation—your ascension to Immortality would’ve secured you a place at its heart. How did it come to this?”
Luo Feng turned to look at the little devil on his shoulder.
“It’s okay.”
The little devil shook his head. “I’m just lamenting about your teacher. There’s a saying on Earth: ‘The clumsy bird flies first.’ But if the clever bird takes off first, the clumsy one will never catch up no matter how hard it tries. It’s the same principle. If you surpass others at the starting line and keep leading, you’ll naturally stand at the pinnacle.”
“You were far ahead of your teacher right at the starting line,” the little devil sighed.
“I’m still only a Stellar Lord. My teacher could create a secret technique like ‘Soul Seal.’ I still have a long way to go,” Luo Feng replied.
“Exactly! That’s the right mindset. Never become arrogant. Even if you’re extraordinary in the Genius Competition, you’re still only a Stellar Lord. The path of becoming a powerful expert has just begun!” the little devil nodded quickly. “What you need to do now is seize these precious resources and continuously strengthen yourself, becoming even stronger, leaving others far behind!”
Luo Feng nodded.
Suddenly, the email icon on the screen flickered, indicating a new message.
He opened the email.
A message had already been received.
“Dear Luo Feng:
Congratulations on becoming an official member of the Tai Chu Secret Realm. The Virtual Universe Company has arranged various training plans for the younger generation, starting from the Cosmic Lord level. Therefore, your first goal now should be to become a Cosmic Lord. There’s no need to worry about this. By the time you return from training in the Originating Universe, you should have already broken through to the Cosmic Lord level.
You have received a gift of 10,000 free points. You can use these points to purchase any item from the treasure list, as long as you have enough points.
It is recommended that you purchase the secret techniques you need. The three-year journey is the best time to cultivate them.
Also!
Please note that there’s no need to waste time cultivating primal energy or mental power.
From Stellar Lord Grade 1 to Grade 9, it’s a quantitative accumulation. From Stellar Lord Grade 9 to Cosmic Lord Grade 1, it’s a genetic leap.
From Cosmic Lord Grade 1 to Grade 9, Domain Lord Grade 1 to Grade 9, and World Lord Grade 1 to Grade 9, it’s again quantitative accumulation.
Breaking through from Stellar Lord to Cosmic Lord, Cosmic Lord to Domain Lord, Domain Lord to World Lord—these are all genetic leaps, qualitative transformations.
The company can freely provide invaluable resources to every core member to improve their physical bodies, enhancing primal energy and mental power, enabling rapid advancement from Grade 1 to Grade 9, saturating the body’s potential. However, the qualitative leap—the genetic transformation—must be achieved through each core member’s own efforts.
The company will not let core members waste time accumulating energy. All core members should save their time for improving combat strength, comprehending the fundamental laws, and learning secret techniques!
…
Virtual Universe Company”
This email wasn’t long, but both Luo Feng and Babata remained stunned for a long time after reading it.
“What?”
“From Grade 1 to Grade 9, the company freely provides resources to enhance the body?” Luo Feng couldn’t believe it.
“Is it true? This legend is actually true?” Babata was also stunned.
It was common knowledge in the universe that powerful experts cultivated and absorbed energy. However, there were countless treasures in the universe. For instance, the ‘Life Fruit’ could allow the Muyun Vine to break through continuously until reaching Cosmic Lord Grade 2. Such treasures were too intense for humans to endure. Yet, the Virtual Universe Company, a giant ranked among the top in the universe, could freely enhance every core member’s body.
Once you reach Cosmic Lord Grade 1, the company will enhance you to Cosmic Lord Grade 9!
If you break through to Domain Lord (World Lord) Grade 1, the company will directly elevate you to Domain Lord (World Lord) Grade 9!
You don’t need to waste time meditating and absorbing cosmic energy anymore. It’s unnecessary!
“Such wealth, such wealth,” Babata shook his head repeatedly. “Even your teacher’s stronghold, Yimo Star, wouldn’t dare to do this for its most important disciples. Directly enhancing from World Lord Grade 1 to Grade 9 requires an immense amount of energy infusion and countless treasures. Your teacher’s wealth wouldn’t be enough to support that. No wonder… no wonder the Virtual Universe Company is so strict about controlling the number of core members.”
“Your Highness!”
“Your Highness!” a voice came from outside.
“Odo,” Luo Feng walked to the balcony, seeing Odo standing at the entrance of the three-story building. “What’s up?”
“Rongjun and Wuka have come to visit,” Odo Rik respectfully said.
“Rongjun and Wuka?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. “I’ll be right down.”
…
A short while later.
Luo Feng welcomed Rongjun and Wuka into his living room.
“Rongjun and I had just come out from the library when we heard you were here. We hurried over to see you,” said Wuka, the young man from Man Ka Star, who plopped onto the sofa and laughed, “This Virtual Universe Company is indeed impressive. The treatment here in Tai Chu Secret Realm is even better than what I get back on Man Ka Star.”
Luo Feng and Rongjun exchanged glances.
“You’re something else,” Luo Feng said. “I was already stunned by that email.”
“Stunned by the email? What’s shocking about it? Are you talking about the ‘Life Pond’?” Wuka shrugged. “Back on Man Ka Star, the younger generation is treated like this. Once you reach Cosmic Lord Grade 1, you directly soak in the Life Pond to reach Cosmic Lord Grade 9. This quantitative accumulation… cultivating it yourself is purely a waste of time. In the universe, not only Man Ka Star, but also the Desolate God Clan, the Mengluo Wing Clan, the Matriarch Star… even the top dozens or hundreds of geniuses among the secret realms of the 1008 Cosmic Nations receive this treatment!”
Luo Feng and Rongjun were speechless.
He was the prince of Man Ka Star, and his perspective was indeed different.
Luo Feng and Rongjun both had broad perspectives, but even Immortal experts couldn’t afford to cultivate disciples like this. Only core powers like Qian Wu Secret Realm and Man Ka Star dared to do so, and even then, only for dozens or hundreds of geniuses.
But the Virtual Universe Company was cultivating hundreds of thousands, even millions!
Such wealth!
“These are all external conditions,” Wuka shook his head. “The Virtual Universe Company only provides the best conditions and environment… but your achievements still depend on yourself!”
“The universe is mysterious and unpredictable. Remember to seize any rare opportunities.”
“But how many super powerful experts rise in the universe every million years?” Wuka sighed. “Don’t be fooled by the millions in Yuxiang Mountain, countless World Lords, and incredible conditions. But after a million years, 99.9% will perish, and the rest will become Immortals! But most of them will only be ordinary Immortals.”
“To become a super powerful Immortal!” Wuka shook his head. “Every million years, a batch of geniuses is cultivated, and then a batch perishes. Only if a few super existences emerge can it be considered a success!”
“Our current batch of a thousand people, according to past probabilities, after millions of years, there will definitely be fewer than ten survivors,” Wuka said.
…
The three talked for a long time, all feeling the pressure.
Ordinary people would be satisfied just reaching the Cosmic Lord level. Even some geniuses would be content with becoming a World Lord and ruling a star system. However, with different perspectives come different goals. Luo Feng, Rongjun, and Wuka all had extremely high aspirations.
Luo Feng had two powerful clones—the Golden-Horned Giant Beast and the Mosha Clan clone. Becoming a World Lord was as easy as sleeping, and even becoming an Immortal, he must be among the strongest. Moreover, Luo Feng longed to reach the level of the Qian Wu King, establishing a cosmic nation and reigning for eons.
Rongjun’s background and talent were no less than Luo Feng’s, and his enemies were even more terrifying. Becoming an ordinary Immortal was far from enough for him.
Wuka was a rare genius of Man Ka Star, a once-in-a-generation prodigy. His father was a great superpower in the universe, and Wuka set his father as his goal, aiming extremely high.
…
Yet, the truth remained—according to past probabilities, out of a thousand people, no more than ten would become Immortals!
Even the Golden-Horned Giant Beasts, generation after generation, many were stuck at the World Lord level, unable to break through to Immortality. The path to Immortality was indeed arduous. Luo Feng’s journey had only just begun!
…
Luo Feng sat in front of the computer, selecting his martial arts manuals.
“The Golden-Horned Giant Beast itself has inheritance memory, countless secret techniques, no need to purchase.”
“The Mosha Clan clone has no inheritance memory, although its talent is high… but now all combat techniques rely on innate talent, with no effective combat secret techniques.” Luo Feng opened a large number of close-combat weapons for warriors. “As for weapons, I’ll choose…”
“The fifth-grade primal energy weapon ‘Shadow Gold Blade’ requires 12 points. The style can be customized. Hmm, I’ll design it according to the style of the Blood Shadow War Blade.”
“The shield, I’ll choose the fifth-grade primal energy weapon ‘Ultimate Void Shield’, requiring 8 points. The style will be set as a hexagonal shield.”
The Shadow Gold Blade and the Ultimate Void Shield were both for the Mosha Clan clone.
“Combat techniques.” Luo Feng clicked into the secret techniques category, quickly searching for suitable ones. With Babata’s help, he soon made a decision.
“Absolute Space” was suitable for the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, and “Nine-Lines Ryu” was suitable for controllers in flight, but what about warriors?
“These secret techniques are this expensive?” Luo Feng was shocked.
The Shadow Gold Blade was only 12 points, but the various secret techniques in front of him started from dozens of points, most costing hundreds or even thousands of points, with some reaching millions or tens of millions—completely outrageous.
“Secret techniques are the treasures that super powerful experts would never willingly share; they are their lifeblood! Although your teacher’s ‘Soul Seal’ is profound and unique, I estimate it’s only worth around ten thousand points,” Babata said.
