Swallowed Star - Chapter 1094
Chapter 1094: Farewell
Primal Chaos City was the human race’s land for cultivation. One look at those ancient buildings, and there would usually be human great beings sitting cross-legged on the rooftops of the cultivation residences. The atmosphere was always filled with the strong aura of cultivation.
“Universe level?” Luo Feng swooped down from a high altitude and saw the human great beings on the rooftops of the cultivation residences. There were some who had only reached the universe level. “This bit of power, and they are allowed into Primal Chaos City? Could they be participants from the previous War of Talents?
Some of the cultivators who were looking up at the sky to study the explicit display of secret engravings of universe laws caught sight of Luo Feng and recognized him in an instant.
“Look, it’s Sir Luo Feng.”
“It’s Sir Luo Feng.”
Having gained fame within such a short time, Luo Feng might have been the most sensational figure among the human race in the past 100,000 years. It was similar to how many of these cultivators did not know of the ancient Heaven Erosion Palace Master and some others. If, trillions of years ago, these individuals had died or been annihilated, and every piece of information pertaining to Luo Feng had been set to extremely high-level access rights, then many would naturally not know of Luo Feng. At best, they might have very limited information about him. But as of now, Luo Feng was the most prominent one.
“Is that Sir Luo Feng from the Legendary Wall of Talents that took place 110,000 years ago?”
“Yes, that’s Sir Luo Feng.”
“During the War of Talents that took place 110,000 years ago, there were three rare geniuses, of which Bolan and Rong Jun achieved breakthroughs to become undying beings, and they are now emperors! Sir Luo Feng was said to have reached the levels of sector lord and universe knight way earlier than the others.”
“So impressive. I heard that even universe knights have been annihilated by Sir Luo Feng.”
Those young fellows who were only at the universe level were getting emotional. The way they looked at Luo Feng was even more awe-filled than how Luo Feng and his peers had looked at Sir Nine Blade back then! After all, Luo Feng had emerged onto the scene only 110,000 years ago during the War of Talents. Plus, his fame and the various rumors about him were much more than those of Sir Nine Blade. But these undying, sector lords, domain masters, and universe level beings were all pretty low on the social scale… so the stories about Luo Feng killing some universe overlords were unknown to them. If they ever caught wind of that news, they would have been rendered speechless.
Such high-level information would only be known by the universe knights. In addition, some of the undying emperors who were usually quite well-informed might have caught wind of it.
“Generations of participants in the War of Talents are continually emerging. The number of great beings among the humans is increasing as well.”
Luo Feng looked down and revealed a trace of a smile. Then with a great leap forward, he speedily made his way to City Leader Palace.
Luo Feng entered the City Leader Palace and connected to the virtual universe with his conscious mind. Because news about the closing of the virtual universe had been disseminated previously, this was the first time he had made a connection after the opening of the virtual universe.
The moment he connected, virtual helper Babata?the subsidiary intelligence helper?promptly informed Luo Feng: “882,901 messages! 9,010 telephone requests! 106 important messages! 11 important telephone requests!”
“So much mail!” Luo Feng was walking in the City Leader Palace while scanning through his mail with his consciousness. He opened the message, and with his consciousness revolving rapidly, he finished looking through all his mail within only a short time.
“Other than Primal Chaos City Leader, the other three universe masters have contacted me too, especially Huge Axe Creator… He actually contacted me.”
Luo Feng’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. The three universe masters and Huge Axe Creator had each sent a mail message to him, and the messages were the same: a simple congratulatory mail.
The messages looked simple, but when it came to their status, these were from universe masters and a universe supreme being! To receive messages from them… was simply extraordinary.
“I should write a letter to thank them.”
Without further ado, Luo Feng replied to the three universe masters and Huge Axe Creator with a thank you letter.
After settling all these, Luo Feng put up a request to contribute a true treasure to his race. To enter that side palace of City Leader Palace, the only way was to put up such an application.
******
The bronze doors opened slowly, and Luo Feng stepped in. Thereafter, the doors closed again.
“Let’s begin.”
Luo Feng waved.
Hua!
At that moment, true treasures started appearing one after the other and floated about in midair. Then they drifted over to the stone plate in the center of the hall of the palace. Countless green threads of light were rising and moved to envelop the treasures in a winding manner. These true treasures were obtained by Luo Feng through his numerous battles, and in total, there was a total of four senior true treasures.
“These four senior true treasures will all be contributed, but I doubt they are enough.” Luo Feng brooded over his contribution.
Previously, when Luo Feng was thrown into the whirlpool by Craftsman Master and ended up in the Land of Extremis, he had killed Demon Sword Knight and obtained two true treasures (of which one was a senior true treasure). And when he came back from the Beast God sector and entered the Original Star for close to a year, he had killed several universe overlords and a large number of universe knights, thus obtaining a total of four senior true treasures!
Killing Tian Yang Knight had also been very rewarding. Not only had he gained the Flowing Light Wings and disambiguation mirror stone, but he also obtained an attack series true treasures, senior true treasure battle armor, and an ordinary domain type true treasure. However, his Remote Ocean body had taken three of the senior true treasures with him, so there were only five senior true treasures (including the Eight Shuttles), which Luo Feng did not require at that moment. Keeping one of these five senior true treasures?the true treasure armor?Luo Feng contributed the other four to his race.
“Contributing four senior true treasures equaled only 52.1 true treasure points,” said Luo Feng. “Still quite a fair distance from a top-tier true treasure.”
Luo Feng gave a slight shake of his head. Then he started the exchange for true treasure.
One flying-palace type ordinary true treasure, the “Wood Grain Boat,” a true treasure of the ground category, required 23 true treasure points.
One ordinary territory type true treasure, “Numerous Worlds,” required 18 true treasure points.
One senior blade type weapon, “Bo He,” which was something like the ghost blade, required 9 true treasure points.
A total of three true treasures cost him 50 true treasure points.
******
In Primal Chaos City, at True Yan Knight’s residence.
“Senior.”
“Senior”
“Senior is back.”
“Brothers.”
As Luo Feng walked within the mansion, he met with some fellow brothers who greeted him respectfully… but cautiously. They were cautious for two reasons. One, Luo Feng had not spent much time with them on a long-term basis. Two, as disciples of True Yan Knight, they were all well-informed. They knew that quite a fair number of several universe overlords had been annihilated by Luo Feng.
Luo Feng simply smiled and returned the greetings in a leisurely manner. When he walked out of sight, the group of brothers immediately began a heated discussion.
“Brother Luo Feng is simply too powerful! Even universe overlords were annihilated by him. Doesn’t that mean he is close to becoming a universe master?”
“Hmm. He has far surpassed our teacher! I believe the Hong Alliance palace master… will have a place for brother Luo Feng in future.”
******
Luo Feng could hear all the content of their discussions from afar, but he maintained his inner peace, staying still as undisturbed waters as he walked to where True Yan Knight resided.
“Teacher,” Luo Feng said. He stood outside the door and waited.
“Come in.”
The doors opened automatically. True Yan Knight was seated at the far end of the table, which was laid out with a fine spread of food and wine.
“Tsk tsk, Teacher,” said Luo Feng. “This is some fine-quality wine you have here. You must have spent quite a fortune.” Luo Feng reached the table in two steps and sat across from True Yan Knight. He reached for a flat vessel containing some wine and took a close look. “Is this the era-aged ‘Zhe Gui Wine’?”
“My disciple has gained such great fame among the 100 million races in the universe that there could be no one who has not heard of you,” said True Yan Knight. “Everyone sees you as a super being. If you were part of another race, you could lead the entire race with your power. You could go rampant roaming the universe.” True Yan Knight caressed his golden beard. With a mildly triumphant tone, he continued, “Even a few universe overlords have been annihilated by my disciple! How is that not worth celebrating? At such a time, would I be so stingy over wine?”
Luo Feng blinked and said, “Teacher, if you flatter me too much, I might fly off to cloud nine.”
“You are already capable of flying!” True Yan Knight joked.
This brought some warmth to Luo Feng. He felt as though he had gone back in time to the past. True Yan Knight was a very straightforward and candid character, and he would commonly jest with his disciples. He simply had no regard for social status.
“Aren’t you going to drink?” True Yan Knight filled his own glass.
“I am. Of course, I will,” Luo Feng replied immediately.
“Haha…! Come, let me fill your glass.”
“I will help myself.”
Luo Feng and True Yan Knight drank and chatted about the recent happenings in the outside world. While Luo Feng had been spending time on cultivation recently, the outside world had undergone many great changes.
“You definitely gave the races of the universe a good scare this time around.” True Yan Knight put down his wine glass and sighed. “The rate of your growth was so fast that even I, as your teacher, was pretty shocked, let alone the other races. There is all kinds of news circulating around in the universe, saying that at the rate you are progressing, you’ll likely attain Primal Chaos City Leader’s level in the future. Spies from other races are all over! We have caught and killed a large number of spies. Some have tried to infiltrate Primal Chaos City, or even reach my very doorstep.”
True Yan Knight looked towards Luo Feng and continued, “We have killed many of these spies, but the killing is never-ending. It seems like the other races are no longer concerned about the price they have to pay. They would rather sacrifice the many spies they have sent out as they get exposed… and still search frantically for news about you.”
“Oh?” Luo Feng nodded slightly.
“All those spies who waited in ambush,” said True Yan Knight. “The loss for one is actually quite a sizable amount. Yet now, races are willing to lose them one after the other. I speculate that other races are already aware that you are cultivating in your god country. They are in the midst of locating the whereabouts of your god country. Bug soldiers, the automaton clan, demons… All of them are finding ways to enter the human territory to kill you.”
True Yan Knight paused, then warned, “If it were not for them, there would be no rush at all. You have to be very careful.”
“Ha…!” Luo Feng laughed. “Teacher, let’s not talk about this. I am well-prepared for it. My purpose in coming here to see Teacher today is for some other matter.”
With a wave of Luo Feng’s hand, three true treasures instantly appeared and hung suspended in midair. They were an earth-yellow wooden boat, a crystal ball, and a piece of black armor.
The wooden boat was a flying-palace type true treasure. The crystal ball was a domain type true treasure named “Numerous Worlds.” And the piece of black armor was a senior true treasure armor! With these three true treasures, True Yan Knight’s survival ability would reach a new high. The only pity was that a soul type ordinary true treasure would require at least 36 true treasure points. Luo Feng could not afford that amount.
“You, this is…” True Yan Knight got to his feet and looked at the three true treasures, stupefied.
“Teacher, I am going to leave the human territory on an adventure,” Luo Feng said reverentially. “If everything happens as I anticipate it will, some major bloodshed will likely take place. You are my teacher, so I am afraid trouble may find its way to you. These three true treasures may be helpful to you, so it is my hope that you will accept them.”
Luo Feng was worried that True Yan Knight might not accept the treasures because they were too valuable! So he did not reveal the actual value of these three true treasures.
“You want to leave the human territory?” True Yan Knight was taken aback.
Luo Feng nodded. “Yes.”
He had to go claim Star Tower and obtain the fifth black metal board. Of course, he had to go.
“But you are aware that the automaton clan, bug soldiers, and demons alike… They are all looking to eliminating you,” said True Yan Knight. “Even if you are in the human territory, there are chances of assassination attempts. Yet you want to head out? Once you are out there, there are no human great beings who can give you timely protection. You will be exposed to danger.” True Yan Knight started to panic at the thought.
“Yes, I am aware of that,” said Luo Feng. “This time, when I head out, there is bound to be a bloodbath.” Luo Feng smiled. “But please rest assured, Teacher.” He bowed slightly. “I shall take my leave now.”
Turning around, Luo Feng took a step and vanished.
True Yan Knight looked to where Luo Feng had vanished. He kept silent for a long time. He understood… Luo Feng had reached an even higher level.
“Three true treasures. A universe overlord. Three true treasures are all that he got!”
True Yan Knight thought these were ordinary true treasures, so with an extended finger, he shot out threads of godly power, and speedily penetrated the three true treasures. That very moment, a surge of information was transmitted… Flying-palace type, domain type, senior true treasure armor… This information had True Yan Knight rooted on the spot for a long while.
“He did not tell me,” he whispered. “He left immediately because he was worried I might accept these if I knew. This disciple of mine…”
