Since they had failed to kill Nuolanshan, Luo Feng and the other three could only leave with regret. They first went to the Universe Mercenary Alliance headquarters to hand in the items required for the “Apprentice Mercenary Assessment”. Although they had not obtained enough “Wind Horn Stones” in the Wind Thunder Canyon, Luo Feng and the others had previously carried out “black eating black” in the World Within a World, killing several teams that had tried to rob them, and they had also obtained Wind Horn Stones from the belongings of those teams.
“Universe Apprentice Mercenaries! We have become Universe Apprentice Mercenaries too, haha…”
“The Canglan Star is full of powerful experts. We should leave as soon as possible.”
“Mm, let’s set off and return to Earth.”
Luo Feng and the other three quickly headed to the planet’s docking port, retrieved their spacecraft, and left Canglan Star.
“10, 9, 8, 7, 6… 3, 2, 1! Universe travel!”
The spacecraft trembled slightly for a moment, then began travelling through the dark universe at 1.2 times the speed of light, rapidly moving in the designated direction.
Inside the spacecraft’s control room, Luo Feng had already arranged for the old servant Ao Gu to rest. Meanwhile, he, Hong, and Thunder God stayed in the control room, extremely excited.
“Same as always, big brother and second brother, each of you take 4 billion universe coins.” Luo Feng and the others were distributing their gains.
“Third brother.” Hong shook his head. “This time, everything was achieved through your own efforts. Second brother and I only wandered around in the World Within a World. Taking this money is really…”
Thunder God also repeatedly shook his head. “Far too much, far too much. We cannot even use that much.”
However, Luo Feng did not hesitate. He directly transferred 4 billion universe coins each to Hong and Thunder God. Both of them received emails through the Virtual Universe Network.
“Big brother, second brother, this amount of money is only a small matter. Our greatest wealth is those treasures.” Luo Feng smiled.
“Mm.” Hong nodded.
“That Void Cleaving Blade alone was already so expensive. Those treasures combined…” Thunder God’s eyes also lit up.
“Oh right. Second brother, the thunder element secret techniques you wanted, there are five sets in total.” Luo Feng waved his hand, and five auxiliary light brains floated above his palm. Then, all five auxiliary light brains fell onto the floor. “Second brother, each auxiliary light brain contains one thunder element secret technique. Study them carefully.”
“World Lord Kabu’s secret techniques?” Thunder God immediately crouched down, removed all the “chips” from the five auxiliary light brains, then inserted one of the chips into his own intelligent optical computer.
“This feels amazing.”
Thunder God was so excited that his face turned red. He closed his eyes and began learning the thunder element secret technique.
Inside the control room, Thunder God was studying the thunder secret technique on one side, while Luo Feng and Hong were talking.
“Third brother.” Hong spoke in a low and serious voice. “The combined value of the other treasures is incredibly expensive, far more expensive than that Void Cleaving Blade. How do you plan to deal with them?”
“Sell them.” Luo Feng replied.
“How will you sell them?” Hong frowned. “These treasures are simply too precious. They might become a source of trouble, and could even attract some super powerful experts. It is possible that instead of gaining money by selling them, we might lose our lives.”
Luo Feng nodded and smiled. “I understand this principle, but I have a way.”
“You have a way? What way?” Hong asked curiously.
“Temporarily keep it secret.” Luo Feng smiled mysteriously.
In reality, the combined value of these treasures was higher than the wealth of many World Lords. They were even much more expensive than the “Eternal Love”. Bringing out treasures of this level, with Luo Feng’s current Stellar level strength, would indeed be extremely difficult to handle. One careless move could bring disaster upon himself and attract the attention of super experts.
If it had been when Luo Feng had just arrived at Dragon Star, he truly would have had no solution. However, now Luo Feng already had a way to handle these treasures, and it was extremely safe.
…
The dark universe was incredibly quiet. Travelling from Canglan Star back to Earth would take around 21 days.
Inside the control room, after Luo Feng and Hong had talked for a long time, they suddenly noticed that Thunder God beside them was staring with his eyes wide open.
“Second brother?” Hong smiled as he looked at him. “Why are your eyes opened so wide?”
“Even after obtaining so many treasures, I have never seen second brother look this silly before.” Luo Feng also teased with a smile.
Thunder God blinked twice and looked at Hong and Luo Feng. “Big brother, third child, I have something to tell you.”
“Mm?” Luo Feng and Hong looked at each other. Something was wrong.
“What happened?” Hong looked at Thunder God.
Thunder God muttered, “Third child, didn’t you say that you inherited the legacy of the Meteor Ink Star? I seem to have… obtained World Lord Kabu’s inheritance.”
“Mm?” Luo Feng and Hong widened their eyes.
Inheritance?
Obtaining secret techniques and obtaining an inheritance were two completely different concepts.
“Earlier, I roughly browsed through those five secret techniques and inserted the five chips one by one.” Thunder God spoke softly. “The first four secret technique chips were just ordinary secret techniques, but the fifth secret technique chip actually contained an intelligence! And… it, it, it…”
“An intelligence?” Luo Feng and Hong immediately realised something.
“It is that white bearded old man.” Thunder God blinked twice. “He congratulated me and said that I had become World Lord Kabu’s disciple.”
“Mist Lord?” Luo Feng was stunned.
That abnormal intelligent life, Mist Lord, was actually one of the five chips? A disciple of World Lord Kabu?
Why did this scene seem so similar to when he had become the disciple of the Meteor Ink Star’s master, Hu Yanbo?
However, his teacher was Hu Yanbo, the master of the Meteor Ink Star.
And Thunder God had actually become the disciple of the deceased World Lord Kabu?
“I bought five sets of secret techniques, but ended up buying a teacher for second brother?” Luo Feng was completely stunned.
…
World Within a World.
After all the adventurer armies had left, personnel from the Universe Mercenary Alliance, one World Lord and two Domain Lords, entered the World Within a World and arrived before the ancient castle.
“Boom!”
The ancient castle collapsed.
“My lord, there are no treasures inside this castle.” A chubby man with pink skin, a large beard, and a body shaped like a mound of flesh respectfully reported.
“My lord, the intelligence inside this castle is only an auxiliary intelligence, not an intelligent life. The white bearded old man intelligent life inside this castle must have mixed himself among the adventurer army and left the World Within a World.” Another thin man with a beard said.
The World Lord wearing black battle armour floated in the air, his brows slightly furrowed. “Since that is the case, forget it. This World Within a World itself is already a treasure. Notify the Black Dragon Mountain branch of the Universe Mercenary Alliance. Stop using this Thunder World as an assessment world. I will properly transform this World Within a World. This place can completely become a secret location for our alliance’s training.”
“Yes, my lord.” The two Domain Lords respectfully replied.
The black clothed World Lord floated in the air and suddenly stretched out both hands.
Rumble…
The sky immediately darkened. The powerful origin energy of the universe continuously surged out from the foundation of the World Within a World. The World Within a World began a new round of massive transformation. This kind of transformation could only be performed by a World Lord.
…
On Canglan Star, in the ancient city, at the top floor of the skyscraper that was over 8,000 metres tall.
Hargreaves and Jiang Tianchen, the two World Lords, sat facing each other.
“Jiang Tianchen, this is what you wanted.” Hargreaves casually threw out a space ring that reflected faint rays of light. The ring drew an arc through the air and landed in front of Jiang Tianchen.
Jiang Tianchen smiled and reached out to catch it. “Hargreaves, as expected, you are straightforward. Here is the final password for the inheritance crystal ball.”
Jiang Tianchen directly sent an email to Hargreaves through the Virtual Universe Network.
Hargreaves immediately received it and obtained the final password.
As a World Lord, separating a strand of consciousness to handle such matters was extremely easy.
“You are not going to deceive me with this password, are you?” Hargreaves raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Tianchen.
“I am not that shameless.” Jiang Tianchen smiled faintly. “Hargreaves, you can go to the Universe First Bank right now and see whether you can withdraw the stored inheritance crystal ball.”
Hargreaves immediately stood up.
Whoosh!
He disappeared from the hall.
…
Almost instantly, in a magnificent city on the other side of Canglan Star, the Universe First Bank building was extremely eye catching. Hargreaves had already entered.
“Three star customer?” The branch manager of the Universe First Bank on Canglan Star was a hunched old man with a shell on his back and three eyes. After learning through the bank’s intelligent system that a three star customer had arrived, the branch manager hurried to the first floor lobby at the fastest speed possible to welcome him.
A moment later, on the 19th floor of the building.
“Lord Hargreaves.” The manager respectfully bowed. Being the manager of the bank on an important planet like Canglan Star meant his authority was very high, and his highest authority allowed him to receive three star customers.
“I want to withdraw a stored item.” Hargreaves said coldly.
“Withdraw a stored item?” The manager looked slightly confused. This Hargreaves had never stored anything locally before.
“It is an item from tens of millions of years ago.” Hargreaves added.
“Lord Hargreaves, an item from tens of millions of years ago must have been transported to the Dry Witch Universe Country division for preservation.” The manager smiled. “As long as Lord Hargreaves provides the account and enters the password, everything will be successful. We will send the item from the Dry Witch Universe Country to the location specified by the customer as quickly as possible.”
Hargreaves nodded slightly. “The account is…”
Hargreaves quickly gave the account number.
“This account uses extremely high confidentiality protection and requires three passwords.” The manager helped enter them from the side.
“The first password is…”
“Passed.” The manager said.
“The second password is…” Hargreaves continued.
“Passed.”
“The third password is…”
“Passed.” The manager said.
“Beep!”
The manager smiled at Hargreaves. “Lord Hargreaves, please wait a moment. The bank’s main processing system will soon provide you with accurate information. However, based on my experience, sending the item from the Dry Witch Universe Country division will take around one month.”
“Mm.” Hargreaves held his breath, extremely excited.
To obtain this inheritance crystal ball, he had spent a great deal of time and effort. Especially to obtain the final password, he had given Jiang Tianchen many treasures.
“Mm?” The manager looked at the screen beside him, and his expression suddenly changed.
“What happened?” Hargreaves looked at him.
“Lord Hargreaves, I think there is no need to send the item from the Dry Witch Universe Country division.” The manager looked at him.
“Mm?” Hargreaves frowned.
“The stored item is an audio recording.” The manager said.
“Leave.”
Hargreaves waved his hand fiercely.
“Yes.” The manager immediately left the room.
Hargreaves stood in front of the screen. An audio file appeared on it. With a gloomy expression, he tapped the screen. The audio file that had been stored for tens of millions of years began playing.
“I am very happy to inform you that you… have been tricked by me! Gahaha, how does it feel? Very unpleasant, right? Did you sacrifice a lot to obtain the three passwords? Hahaha, I definitely would not give the three passwords to the same party. I wanted all of you to fight and compete, only for you to end up celebrating for nothing. Gahaha…”
Hargreaves gritted his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds.
“Bang!”
Hargreaves suddenly waved his hand, smashing the screen in front of him.
“Three star customer, you have damaged bank property. Please compensate according to the price provided by our bank.” An electronic voice echoed throughout the room.
Hargreaves’ face twitched with anger.
“Die!”
Hargreaves suddenly released his powerful aura. The items in the surrounding hall exploded one after another, fragments flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
“Where exactly is the inheritance crystal ball?” Hargreaves gritted his teeth in the dust.
