chapter-1334
On board his Boat of Mausoleum, Luo Feng entered the internal region of Universe Boat, persevering through numerous terrifying, dangerous domains. Although he was not afraid, he exercised vigilance and kept himself obscured so that he could grab hold of the opportunity when the great beings from Purple Moon Holy Land unintentionally made a careless move. The moment he discovered one, he would make use of Star Tower to capture that great being right away—mercilessly! This way, not only could he teach those from Purple Moon Holy Land a good lesson, but he could also seize their true treasures.
It was a good idea. The only problem was, even after he had spent close to 900 years traveling to finally reach the domain where the space of the cyan secret chamber was, there was not a single time along the way when he discovered any great being from Purple Moon Holy Land.
“Purple Moon Holy Land is very careful and vigilant. It has been such a long journey, yet not once have I encountered anyone. Seems like the universe masters inside the Universe Boat have all hidden themselves with care.”
Luo Feng could not help lamenting as he shook his head. After all, the Universe Boat was extremely broad, and he had been advancing at a high rate of speed to look around. If his opponent was moving about ostentatiously, he might have discovered them somehow. But if his opponent was cautiously hiding from him, there was no way he could find them anywhere.
Looking ahead into the vast space, he had already arrived at the domain where the space of the cyan token secret chamber was.Hong!
The small, greenish-black ship shot ahead very quickly. For being able to arrive within a time of close to 900 years, much credit was due to the Boat of Mausoleum. With it, Luo Feng traversed many dangerous lands by charging his way through with brute force. Even supreme true treasures that could resist a certain amount of danger would be burdened by terrifying environments. Yet the Boat of Mausoleum was very stable, which was why Luo Feng could solely depend on it. Along the way, Luo Feng had specially sought lands that were birthplaces of treasures and was lucky enough to obtain some ordinary pinnacle true treasures, two top-tier true treasures, and a senior true treasure.
Once, during a conversation, Primal Chaos City Leader had told Luo Feng, “The Boat of Mausoleum cannot be shaken. Within the three most dangerous lands, 90 percent of the terrifying dangers had no effect on it. Only the core region is likely able to stop it in its path… Solely relying on this Boat of Mausoleum to search for treasures, your efficiency rate will be higher than any other great being.”
“Riding Boat of Mausoleum to roam the three most dangerous lands, I will be able to seek out and obtain many true treasures. How wonderful.”
Luo Feng was inside his Boat of Mausoleum, looking far into the distance at the numerous buildings suspended on huge leaves. He drew nearer to try to feel the place out.
“After I obtain the treasures from Jie Fanzi’s legacy, I will roam the three most dangerous lands.”
Roaming the three most dangerous lands only required a trace of his consciousness. He mainly focused his spiritual energy on cultivation.After two days, Luo Feng found the secret chamber within the space of the cyan token’ that belonged to him.
“This is the one.”
The little, greenish-black boat reduced speed and slowly descended on a huge leaf. The cabin doors opened. Luo Feng walked out and raised his head to look at the building before him.
“The secret chamber of the black token and the secret chamber of the cyan token are both so lacking in aesthetics.”
With a wave, Luo Feng put away the Boat of Mausoleum. Then he slowly walked toward the ancient building. The moment his body touched it, he felt as though he had touched the surface of water; he penetrated right through to enter the internal space of the secret chamber.
******
Luo Feng appeared in midair and looked ahead. Amidst the void space, there were nine huge, blazing fireballs, each bigger than any ordinary star by 1,000 times. These nine fireballs were suspended high within the void space, and they were moving in a circular motion.
In the middle of the area they encircled was a suspended continent.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng stood within the void space. With a move of his mind, all ten wings on his back spread wide, and a blurry, golden light radiated outward. In an instant, the entire space was enshrouded, and everything within it fell under his control.
Just one look, and Luo Feng’s expression revealed his surprise.
With one step forward, he teleported himself over to the continent. The expanse of the landform was vast. He stood on a deserted land of sandstones and looked up toward the sky, where he could see light rays produced by the nine blazing fireballs being projected onto the land. They intertwined to form a picture scroll containing characters that were made up of fire snakes. The scroll was densely covered with a mass of characters that Luo Feng was not familiar with, yet every character contained ripples that transmitted information, so Luo Feng had no trouble understanding the text.
“I, Jie Fanzi, am a special life form, I became an undying cultivating the water law and have been cultivating since I became a universe supreme master. After I became a universe supreme master… one fine day, while I was living a peaceful life on a certain planet, I was struck by a sudden thought. On this life planet, life required water to survive, so water was the origin of life. But the entire planet needed to rely on the heat of the stars to absorb energy for all life forms to grow.
“The water law and fire law. These are not as simple as how we have all used to comprehend. They were not as simple as two individual laws. Water and fire both involve the origin of life—the origin of all forms of life and the origin of reproduction. Therefore, I have created my own studies, a new body of lost knowledge—Water and Fire Origins.
“I have traversed the primal universe, and when the primal universe came to an end, I moved on to observing Universe Ocean and comprehended two reincarnation eras… Water and Fire Origins was getting more complete, and I believe that if I had been given enough time, I would have been able to attain an even higher level in order to transcend reincarnation. But I did not have enough time… I may have achieved a combat power that was at tenth-tier as the top level, but still, I am not confident of achieving a breakthrough to transcend reincarnation. Water and Fire Origins was created with great efforts. After spending a long time—three reincarnation eras—I am most reluctant to see it disappear. My wish is that any later generations will be able to take on what I have comprehended and continue to pass down this legacy of mine.
“The nine fireballs in the surroundings of void space are unique objects from Tilted Peak Sector of the Universe Ocean. They are nine ‘iced crystals’ that have been transformed into nine fireballs by my Water and Fire Origins. They represented the peak of my accomplishment. Now that the nine fireballs have become one, their might should not be spread to the outside world.
“Under this great continent, there is a pinnacle palace true treasure. Inside the palace, you will find all the treasures I have left behind, and you will also find a low-to-high-level inheritance of the lost knowledge I have created. I truly hope that my descendants will not let my life’s work, my legacy, be lost for good.”
On the scroll high up in the sky, upon seeing the information that was transmitted via the characters made out of fire snakes, Luo Feng took in a deep breath. Tenth-tier as the top? Water and Fire Origins?
“Indeed, every generation will give rise to at least one peerless figure who is unparalleled in demeanor and talent,” said Luo Feng, in awe. “This Jie Fanzi actually possessed combat power at the tenth-tier as the top level. This would have been comparable to what Teacher Origin already achieved previously. He must be one of the greatest figures during his era. No wonder… No wonder he was so fixated on his legacy. It seems like his ‘Water and Fire Origins’ was indeed a body of lost knowledge that he had created and was incomparably proud of. This must be why he was so reluctant to see his efforts go down the drain and his legacy discontinued.”
Of course, in terms of talent, Jie Fanzi was still no match for Teacher Origin. After all, Teacher Origin had already attained the tenth-tier as the top level when he was still within the primal reincarnation era before being eternally suppressed. On the other hand, Jie Fanzi had taken a total of three full reincarnation eras to reach the tenth-tier as the top level.
However… Throughout the Universe Ocean—other than Teacher Origin and the ancestors of the two holy lands—the next-strongest in line today were all great beings at the level of ninth-tier as the top. This showed how talented Jie Fanzi really had been.
“Water and Fire Origins—the origin of life? The origin of all forms of life and of reproduction?” Even Luo Feng was touched when he learned all this.
Previously, the laws that he had cultivated, whether gold, wood, water, fire, or earth, were the most fundamental laws. Furthermore, he had always cultivated them as individual laws. Never had it crossed his mind that something as simple as an individual set of laws could contain the mystery of the origin of life.
If this body of lost knowledge was merely an ordinary kind of creation, then even if it were to be discontinued, there was no loss worth lamenting. But something as unique as Water and Fire Origins, which far surpassed what other supreme masters had created… Such a body of lost knowledge was truly something worth being proud of.
“A peerless figure in demeanor and talent,” Luo Feng lamented. “Yet he was gone, just like that, without even achieving a breakthrough of a reincarnation era. Transcending reincarnation. Oh, transcending reincarnation! How difficult it truly is! Keep!”
With a random flick of his hand, Star Tower flew up right away. Following the guidance of Luo Feng’s godly power, the nine huge fireballs high up in space were quickly sent right into Star Tower.
“Rise!” Luo Feng looked toward the continent at his side.
Hong! Long! Long!
The continent split apart, and a palace emerged from beneath. Sandstones separated into two sides, revealing a palace in its entirety.
Luo Feng sent a trace of his godly power penetrating through this palace, and soon enough, he had made this palace true treasure recognize him as its master.
“The treasures inside…”
After this pinnacle palace true treasure had recognized Luo Feng as its master, Luo Feng could quickly learn how many treasures were inside. After sorting and summing up everything, he had a clearer picture of the treasures Jie Fanzi had left behind. What he had summed up dealt Luo Feng with a good shock.
Although there were no supreme true treasures, this pile was still much more than what he had gained from killing Great Thunder Star Master (adding on the gains from sweeping through the miniature universe). There was a total of 32 pinnacle palace type and domain type true treasures. And a total of 91 ordinary pinnacle true treasures (top-tier domain type true treasures were considered to be on this level).
Ordinary top-tier true treasures, senior true treasures, and ordinary true treasures were very few. The total might have only added up to slightly more than 100. Perhaps these did not appeal much to Jie Fanzi, who was simply not interested in them.
As for the large amount of various precious treasures, materials for refining true treasures, treasures for restoring godly bodies, and treasures for increasing the amount of life genes… there were many of all these, too.
“Not even counting the supreme true treasures, these are already riches much greater than the entire wealth of my human race.”
Luo Feng was awestruck.
In fact, this was considered normal. The wealth of a race was mainly created by universe supreme masters. Supreme masters who were lone travelers—regardless of whether it was Jie Fanzi from eras ago, Sitting Mountain Guest, Shi Hu Island Leader, or several others of the current era—had no need to worry for any race. The treasures they obtained were theirs to keep, yet the treasures they had were in no way inferior to those owned by an entire race!
Jie Fanzi’s combat power was at the level of tenth-tier as the top. During his era, he had once swept through the entire Universe Ocean with his great might. His only problem was that he was obsessed with the Water and Fire Origins. He was very ambitious by nature. If he had put his heart into plundering, he would have gained even more treasures.
But the amount of treasures he had was considered normal, as he had been collecting for the long period of three reincarnation eras.
“So many treasures. Therefore, I will be able to repair the final injury on the white wings of my Shi Wu Wings.”
Luo Feng was happy when this realization dawned upon him. With a flip of his hand, a fist-sized, spherical crystal stone appeared in the middle of his palm. The spherical crystal stone stored a large amount of information, and all that information was what Jie Fanzi took great pride in—his Water and Fire Origins.
“Let’s take a look at this Water and Fire Origins.”
The moment Luo Feng laid eyes on it, he was immersed. He was pleasantly surprised at what he saw.
The knowledge of Water and Fire Origins was so mysterious and magical that it qualified to be ranked within the core inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River. The pity was, Jie Fanzi had only managed to comprehend the fundamentals of the lost knowledge of Water and Fire Origins. Yet even though the fundamentals were just built, the magical side of this lost knowledge could be subtly observed.
“According to what the lost knowledge of Water and Fire Origins describes…” Luo Feng said to himself. “Reaching the peak of this place, with a single move of intention, and taking the two origins, water and fire, as the core, I can instantly develop a true universe. When there is a war, the surroundings of my body can instantly become a true miniature universe. Forcing the enemies into this miniature universe, there will be no way they can survive, right?”
