Chapter 373, The Bet
Virtual universe, Thunder Island, mountain peak. Deep within the chaotic currents, Luo Feng saw Ye Muxuan sitting there.
Now Luo Feng also has a palace residence on this mountain peak, making it much easier to see his teacher.
"Teacher, you wanted to see me?" Upon seeing the figure in a simple white robe, Luo Feng bowed.
"You've received the treasures that Engineer Peng and the others promised you, haven't you?" The chaotic energy parted, and Ye Muxuan had a relieved smile on his lips.
When the bet was made, True God Peng Gong mentioned that if Luo Feng could become the Lord of the Universe within ten million years, he would be given a top-tier palace treasure in the name of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. The Founder of the Giant Axe would also directly give him a top-tier palace treasure in the name of the Giant Axe Arena. For the items in the human race's treasury, this was second only to the supreme treasure, and its value was extremely high, not even counting as a gift from the race.
The cosmic rulers who participated in this bet were not only True God Peng Gong and the Founder of the Giant Axe, but also Lord of Desolate Mirror, Lord of Ice Peak, and others.
Although it was just a casual remark, since Luo Feng achieved his goal in only about 100,000 years, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word. Moreover, for them now, they could still afford a top-tier treasure; the various levels of treasures available to their clan were far more abundant than they had hundreds of thousands of epochs ago.
However, Luo Feng was a powerful figure who was personally trained by the Shadow Blade Master and grew up among the human race. Back when he was a Domain Lord, he was able to stand up for his opinions in the face of a group of Universe Lords. At least there was no doubt about his loyalty. Giving him these treasures would not be a waste of his talents. Consider them as a reward for the younger generation.
Just then, Luo Feng had three clone slots after possessing the Golden Horned Beast, and he needed many treasures to arm himself. Now he had almost gathered them all.
"Teacher, the Giant Axe Founders and the others have given me the authority to exchange for any treasure in the clan's treasury without consuming any treasure points." Although there were various debates at the Supreme Council, since they had agreed to this bet, neither the Giant Axe Founders nor the Lord of the Wilderness would stole a treasure; they wouldn't be so shameless.
Therefore, Luo Feng didn't spend a single one of his hundreds of treasure points and took five top-tier treasures from the clan's treasury. These included a top-tier palace treasure, a top-tier domain treasure, a top-tier armor treasure, and a top-tier battle sword, among others.
If he were to exchange these treasures himself, it would probably take him countless eras to accumulate treasure points. However, he has already armed the Golden Horned Beast and his Earthling self, making them extremely powerful combat avatars for future main battles.
Even the Demon Slayer Clan clone and the New Nether Sea clone carry some powerful treasures, enough to guard their home galaxy.
"The power of these treasures is still merely external force, only able to temporarily boost one's strength. Understanding the laws is the foundation of all power. With these treasures, there's no need to go back to the Primordial Star to seize more treasures in the short term; that would be a waste of your time." Ye Muxuan, clad in a pristine white robe, finally emerged from the chaotic energy, his eyes fixed on Luo Feng, a glint of disillusionment and annihilation in them. "Whether it's comprehending the laws of time or the path of the Beast God, reaching the level of a Universe Master is far more important."
Luo Feng is a Venerable One who achieved mastery through the laws of space. As long as the laws of time are complete, he will become the Lord of the Universe. He has even comprehended the most difficult and ethereal aspect of the Path of the Beast God, the Heart of the Beast God. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to follow the Path of the Beast God, fuse with the laws, and become the Lord of the Universe.
"Yes, teacher." Part of the reason for going to the Primordial Star was to compete for supreme treasures, and part of it was to hone his skills. He currently only possesses the Secret Pattern School's self-created ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, and his foundation is insufficient, leaving much room for improvement.
"Chaos mentioned the Qi Mirror Stone to me," Ye Muxuan said, looking at Luo Feng, who indeed seemed a little nervous. "This is a token you obtained yourself; you can decide what to do with it. But what your teacher wants to tell you is that the Qi God Temple is related to the most precious treasure since the opening of the Primordial Star, a treasure comparable in value to the one the Giant Axe gave you. Those who can enter are basically true universe masters, or even the strongest beings in the universe. If you feel your strength is not enough, you can send your senior sister, or give it to me, or to Mingwu and the others."
"I understand." Luo Feng's heart tightened, but he still nodded.
"When the Primordial Star opened last time, I obtained the most precious treasure's token. The one who went in to compete for the treasure was the Giant Axe. At that time, four universe lords and three top overlords perished before finally obtaining that treasure, which is the Netherworld Mirror in the treasure vault."
"I understand, teacher." Ye Muxuan's words reminded Luo Feng of the Netherworld Mirror, a top-grade illusion treasure he had seen in the treasure vault. Among treasures of the same type, the Netherworld Mirror had the highest exchange requirements, a full 4.5 treasure points.
It was only after he received the sect's inheritance and acquired his natal array plate that this treasure became affordable, something only the Dark Demon God could afford to exchange for. However, once his main battle clone had his natal array plate, he no longer needed to exchange for it, which is why it remained idle. The later Mingwu True Lord was in a similar situation. He was also a universe master who followed the illusionist lineage and was qualified to exchange for it. However, initially, he didn't have enough treasure points, and later he already had his natal array plate, the Heart Eye. Now, he has become the strongest being in the universe, so naturally, he no longer values this Netherworld Mirror.
However, none of this diminishes the value of the Netherworld Mirror, which is a treasure comparable to the Yellow Springs Bell, the most famous treasure of the Lord of the Underworld.
"I'm just mentioning this to you. After all, no matter who enters the Qishen Temple in the end, there's no guarantee they'll succeed. Last time, during the battle for the Netherworld Mirror, the Lord of Shihua Island failed to snatch the giant axe." Ye Muxuan stopped dwelling on the matter and looked at Luo Feng with a serious expression. "You teleported from your divine kingdom to the Qingyuan Secret Realm. There's something I need you to handle."
He paused, then added a further reminder.
"Very important."
Luo Feng, feeling somewhat nervous and conflicted, wondered what could possibly be something his teacher considered "very important." Afterwards, he bid farewell to Xu Xin on Earth—in reality, his new Youhai clone had been with her all along—and teleported to the temple in the Milky Way, entrusting some trivial matters to the three Venerables, including the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, before using the divine kingdom's teleportation to the Qingyuan Secret Realm.
Beside the million-kilometer-long, pitch-black hull of the Tomb Ship, a teleportation light shone, and Luo Feng, clad in armor, carrying a gray-brown battle sword and sporting flamboyant six-winged silver wings, suddenly appeared.
In the distance, Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, looked over. In Luo Feng's body, besides sensing the aura of the Star Tower, he also sensed the auras of several other supreme treasures.
The World Ring, and even the Golden Horned Beast, possessed the aura of several supreme treasures.
I told him something important, but I didn't expect him to be fully armed: the Calamity Armor, the Chaos Golden Wings, the ultimate treasure battle blade, the Golden Soul, the ultimate domain treasure, and the Star Tower—this setup is much stronger than my own Clear Shattered Clone.
After all, the only things that can rival the pinnacle domain treasures are the Golden Radiance Armor and the Universe Control Cone, but none of them can compare to the Star Tower.
