Earth, Asia, Hong Ning Base City.
“Third Brother, what brings you here?” Hong was still dressed entirely in black.
“Big Brother, didn’t you ask me to buy Life Fruits last time?” Luo Feng sat opposite Hong, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. His eyes lit up. “Mm, good tea.”
“Life Fruits?” A look of anticipation appeared in Hong’s eyes.
Back then, he had seen Luo Feng’s Mo Yun Vine surge in strength after consuming a Life Fruit.
“I couldn’t buy any Life Fruits, but I bought 100 ‘Lan Ke Fruits’ instead,” Luo Feng explained. “The medicinal properties of these Lan Ke Fruits are relatively mild, so your Mo Yun Vine will definitely be able to absorb them. Take one Lan Ke Fruit every ten days. After spending three years consuming all 100 Lan Ke Fruits, I guarantee that your Mo Yun Vine will reach the third or fourth level of the Universe level.”
“Oh?” Hong was pleasantly surprised.
His Mo Yun Vine was innately inferior to Luo Feng’s.
Even Luo Feng’s Mo Yun Vine had only reached the second level of the Universe level after consuming a Life Fruit.
“Big Brother, the main reason is that I spent too much money purchasing a mental weapon at the auction this time, so I couldn’t afford the Life Fruits,” Luo Feng said apologetically. “Of course, when it comes to nurturing plant lifeforms, these 100 Lan Ke Fruits combined are no less valuable than Life Fruits.”
“Haha… Alright, I understand.” Hong laughed. “We’re brothers, so there’s no need to say so much.”
Luo Feng smiled as well.
He then flipped his hand and took out a box, placing it directly on the table in front of them.
Snap!
The box opened, revealing 100 Lan Ke Fruits inside.
“They look extraordinary. As expected of rare fruits from the universe.” Hong’s eyes lit up.
“Of course. The selling price of these 100 Lan Ke Fruits is comparable to that of an entire star system.” Luo Feng frowned slightly, then asked in confusion, “By the way, why haven’t I seen Second Brother recently?”
“Thunder God? He obtained World Master Kabu’s inheritance. For the past two years, he has been trained by that ‘Lord Wu’.” A smile appeared on Hong’s face. “His strength has been improving quite quickly. Fortunately, I have the martial cultivator techniques from the Meteor Ink Star lineage that you gave me. I’ve also made some breakthroughs over the past two years. Otherwise, I’m afraid he would have surpassed me.”
Luo Feng suddenly understood.
The martial cultivation techniques of the Meteor Ink Star lineage were not weak. One had to know that the Master of Meteor Ink Star had nine Immortal subordinates, most of whom were martial cultivators. How could the cultivation inheritances of Immortal experts be weak?
The only difference was that Thunder God had the intelligent life ‘Lord Wu’ teaching him, and perhaps he also had some treasures assisting him.
Hong, on the other hand, could only comprehend things on his own.
However, Hong’s comprehension ability had always been extremely high. When Ming Yu evaluated them back then, he had said that Luo Feng and Thunder God were both level three elite geniuses, while Hong was a level one elite genius.
Of course, more than two years had passed since then. Especially after the Golden-Horned Beast reached the Universe level, Luo Feng had made tremendous progress in comprehending the Origin Law of Gold.
“By the way, Third Brother. Recently, there have been many more experts in the battle space of the Killing Field. I don’t know what’s going on.” Hong frowned.
“More?” Luo Feng was stunned.
He had been attending the auction recently, so he really did not know what was happening in the ‘Killing Field battle space’.
“Yes. In the past, I could easily defeat many people, but now, a large group of talented experts has suddenly appeared. Moreover, these people rarely appeared in the ‘Killing Field battle space’ in the past,” Hong said. “It would be fine if one or two geniuses suddenly appeared, but so many have appeared all at once. I feel that something must have happened.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng was puzzled, but he did not know the reason.
Luo Feng had no intention of investigating the battle space. Instead, he immediately began the process of nurturing his second clone.
……
On a vast metallic continent, there was a layer of golden mist in the sky above the continent, while dense golden mist also surrounded the continent.
The metallic continent was 6,000 kilometres long and 6,000 kilometres wide. In the air above its centre, a section of strange black skin suddenly appeared.
This section of skin was actually only a small piece cut from the Mosha Clan skin Luo Feng had purchased.
“Talent, ***, nurture!”
With a thought, the entire world began to tremble.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The continental plates trembled.
Hiss!
The strange black skin directly vaporised, leaving behind only a single drop of strange liquid.
The ‘golden mist’ in the world of the metallic continent, which was trembling violently, immediately began gathering crazily towards the centre. Almost instantly, it wrapped around the drop of liquid formed after the black skin had vaporised.
After a moment, it transformed into an oval-shaped golden egg.
“The nurturing has begun. I wonder how long it will take to succeed.” Luo Feng thought secretly.
According to the information Luo Feng had obtained by asking the auction organisers when he made his payment, the original owner of this black skin was a second-level Universe level Mosha Clan member. It was precisely because of this that Luo Feng was able to nurture the clone now.
The talent secret technique ‘***’ gave the Golden-Horned Beast only three opportunities in its entire lifetime.
This was the second time!
“Nurturing a Mosha Clan member is ten thousand or even a hundred thousand times more difficult than nurturing the Earth human clone back then. At that time, my internal world was only at the first level of the Stellar level. Now, my internal world is at the sixth level of the Universe level. Its strength is more than ten thousand times greater.” Luo Feng calculated inwardly. “After nurturing it for one day, I should be able to estimate how long it will take.”
Normally, the stronger the original owner and the nobler the bloodline, the longer the nurturing process would take.
However…
“What a strange thing.”
“I originally estimated that it would take decades or even hundreds of years to nurture it, but I never expected that it would only take three years and nine months.”
After nurturing it for one day, Luo Feng had completely understood the profound information regarding the nurturing of the Mosha Clan member through the feedback from his internal world.
The Mosha Clan were not flesh and blood lifeforms!
The rules governing the nurturing of flesh and blood lifeforms did not apply to them.
As energy lifeforms, once a ‘life crystal core’ was nurtured inside the internal world, the life crystal core could automatically release energy and transform itself into a human form.
Moreover, as an energy lifeform, it could not only transform into a human form, but could also transform into other shapes. It could change its appearance with ease.
“It only needs to nurture a life crystal core. The Mosha Clan really is quite unique.” Luo Feng thought secretly.
……
Once the talent secret technique ‘***’ began the nurturing process, Luo Feng no longer needed to spend any effort on it. He only needed to wait patiently.
The cold winter quickly gave way to the Spring Festival.
The entire Huaxia Country was filled with celebration. Even after experiencing the Grand Nirvana period and the attacks of the Devouring Beast, the people of Huaxia still would not forget their most important festival, the Spring Festival.
Luo Feng also rarely stopped cultivating and spent the days around the New Year properly accompanying his family.
The ninth day of the first lunar month, early morning.
Outside Jiangnan Base City, in a ruined and desolate city in the wilderness region, the sky was only beginning to brighten.
On the rooftop of a 28-storey building in this city, which had been desolate for several decades, a figure suddenly appeared.
He wore deep red battle armour, battle boots, and carried a strange dark golden long staff on his back.
The dark golden long staff was more than two metres long. Its width required both hands to grasp it properly, and its diameter was around 15 centimetres.
The entire dark golden long staff faintly emitted a heart-stirring aura. Even the occasional release of its aura caused large numbers of monsters in the surrounding abandoned city of reinforced concrete to flee.
No monster dared to approach.
“Carrying this Yan Shen Weapon feels like carrying a mountain on my back.” Luo Feng could also feel the pressure this Yan Shen Weapon brought him.
Ordinary first, second, and third level mental weapons could simply be picked up and used.
But higher-grade weapons were different. For example, to unleash the power of a ‘fifth-grade weapon’, one first needed to properly ‘nurture it spiritually’ and imprint one’s own spiritual mark upon the Yan Shen Weapon.
“Properly nurture it. Once the nurturing is complete, this Yan Shen Weapon will truly recognise you as its master. Then you can begin cultivating with it,” Babata said.
“Understood.”
Luo Feng was worried that nurturing it at home might accidentally affect his family, which was why he had specifically come to the wilderness region.
“Yan Shen Weapon, Ninefold Vast Heaven Evolution.”
Luo Feng sat cross-legged and placed the dark golden long staff across his knees.
“At my current level, I should be able to master the first stage.”
The Yan Shen Weapon was divided into nine stages, each more powerful than the previous one. It was known as both the strongest divine weapon and the weakest divine weapon. Without true talent, using an ordinary mental weapon was actually better.
The first stage was called ‘*** Form’.
The second stage was called ‘Heaven Piercing Form’.
The third stage was called ‘Heaven Sword Form’.
The fourth stage was called ‘Great Skill Appears Simple’.
The fifth stage was called ‘Space Severing’.
The sixth stage was called ‘Creating One’s Own World’.
The seventh stage was called ‘One Staff Shakes Heaven and Earth’.
The eighth stage was called ‘Golden Sword Slashes the Void’.
The ninth stage was called ‘Even an Immortal Can Be Challenged’.
When Luo Feng learned the names of these nine stages, especially when he saw the name of the ninth stage, ‘Even an Immortal Can Be Challenged’, he became extremely excited.
This was because, whether it was the inheritance memories of the Golden-Horned Beast or some of the common knowledge taught by Babata, the transition from World Master to Immortal was an extremely enormous hurdle.
It was a transformation of the soul, a truly tremendous leap.
An Immortal could easily sweep aside peak World Master experts!
Even a peak World Master ‘Golden-Horned Beast’ would have to lower its head when facing an Immortal.
Yet the ninth stage actually dared to claim that ‘Even an Immortal Can Be Challenged’.
It was simply heaven-defying.
“Unfortunately, reaching the ninth stage is extremely difficult. Throughout the entire human race and its many universe countries, there are only a few who have mastered the ninth stage. The difficulty of mastering the ninth stage is even greater than becoming ‘Immortal’.” Luo Feng sighed.
In any case, he had only grasped a tiny bit of the Origin Law of Gold. As for the Origin Law of Space, he had not even crossed the threshold. He still needed to work hard slowly.
While Luo Feng was devoting himself to the Yan Shen Weapon, on the Imperial Star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire…
Inside a floating palace on the Imperial Star.
“Have you found Luo Feng’s information?” The Ninth Prince, wearing royal attire, sat on his throne and asked coldly.
“No. Back then, Luo Feng left the World within a World with the Three Axe Mountain army. We only discovered that he entered the allied army under the identity of ‘Ming Yu’ from Three Axe Mountain. We cannot find anything else, and we don’t know where he is now.”
A servant below answered respectfully.
“Get out.”
Ninth Prince Brolin shouted.
Recently, Prince Brolin had been in a very bad mood, an extremely bad mood!
In the battle for the World within a World, his maternal grandfather Hargreave had been the biggest loser.
Not only had he failed to obtain the inheritance crystal ball, but he had nearly lost his entire fortune. Moreover, he had offended quite a few World Masters in the Sacred Black Dragon Mountain.
One had to know that during the battle in the World within a World, Brolin had commanded an army of more than 220,000 troops.
Where had this army come from?
It was mainly because a group of World Masters from Sacred Black Dragon Mountain had supported Hargreave, which was why they had handed their subordinates over to Brolin for him to command.
Those World Masters had supported Hargreave, but they had not done so without conditions.
There had been various promises made beforehand.
Although the Ninth Prince had given other treasures, such as the ‘D6-class railgun’, to his grandfather to settle matters with those World Masters, there had been more than ten World Masters who had supported Hargreave.
The other treasures obtained by the Ninth Prince were far too few, and there was simply not enough to distribute among them.
Hargreave himself was practically bankrupt and was already in a terrible mood. When this group of World Masters came demanding the benefits they had previously been promised, he flew into a rage.
In the end, things became extremely unpleasant.
Naturally, Hargreave lost influence within the Sacred Land.
Hargreave himself did not care much about power and influence. For a World Master, his own strength was what mattered most.
However…
Hargreave losing influence in the Sacred Land ‘Black Dragon Mountain’ affected the status of the Ninth Prince.
“Hmph.”
Brolin gritted his teeth.
“Do Big Brother, Third Brother and the others also want to compete with me?”
Thinking about everything he had experienced recently, the anger in Brolin’s heart grew even stronger.
